Hu Xiaotian had actually recognized Li Shan, but his expression on his face was calm and seemed to be facing a stranger. After several years, Li Shan's eyebrows and eyes were filled with vicissitudes and mature expressions, with a calm temperament and a cold and clear eyes. It not only contained a calmness that had been tested by life and death, but also a ruthless murderous aura, as if a blood-drinking sword hidden in the sheath. Although his sharpness was not revealed, it had already made people feel awe. Li Shan had a medium figure and an ordinary appearance, but he sat upright on the back of a horse, calm and composed as he looked at it, showing the style of a master.

He couldn't help but sigh in secretly, "Where is no place to meet in life?" When they parted, they each embarked on different development paths. When they met again today, they were already different and unscrupulous. Just looking at Li Shan's momentum and his sword skills, we can tell that his martial arts are great and not far from the day when he was powerful in the world. Looking back on his own being controlled by the "King of the True Qi of the Underworld", the ten successful men could not perform 10% of their success, and they could not even protect themselves, let alone spreading across the world. It is really frustrating.

Li Shan was also secretly surprised. Almost everyone in this caravan was proficient in martial arts, and the people in the center were obviously masters with unique skills, and they were definitely not ordinary merchants who trafficked goods. What did they come from? Especially the young man surrounded by everyone, with a tall and strong figure, thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a bright and bright eyes. He had a bit of a bookish atmosphere and a bit of a domineering domineering attitude, forming a very special and extraordinary temperament. After careful examination, the outline of the eyebrows was actually similar to someone in his memory, which made him more and more curious.

Song Qian had noticed Li Shan's suspicious eyes and smiled: "It turns out that you are a member of the leader of the Beggars' Sect. No wonder you have outstanding sword skills and are as terrified as evil!" He pointed at the toilet and said: "This is my young master from Sheng Jingxing. Recently, he went to the capital to take the exam candidate position in the capital according to the emperor's edict. The others are guards of the young master's family." There is indeed a shop "Sheng Jingxing" in Lanzhou City, but it is secretly controlled by the Demon Cult.

Hu Xiaotian bowed and said with a smile: "I'm Hu Xiaotian! Although Hu has been studying since childhood and is not good at martial arts, he admires the heroes and righteous men who laugh at life and death the most. Today, he can be said to be lucky to see the style of Daxia Li today!" His appearance, figure, and temperament have not changed significantly compared to his childishness four years ago. In addition, he deliberately adjusted his accent and was not worried about being recognized by the other party at a glance.

When Li Shan heard him speak a standard northwest accent, he thought to himself that I was too heartless. He clasped his fists and said, "Young Master Hu is too rewarded! Seeing that the young master was wearing a sword with an extraordinary demeanor, Li thought that the young master was a master of swordsmanship and was about to ask for advice!"

Hu Xiaotian laughed and said, "Hero Li is a mistake this time! Hu envied the heroic style of ancient swordsmen, but he was unable to imitate it, so he had to make a wooden sword to fill the storefront. It was actually shameful. I hope the hero should not make jokes about this trick of fooling people." As he said that, he pulled out his hand and really pulled out a wooden sword and danced a few times. He had switched to the wooden sword to practice sword skills two months ago, and the sword he carried with him was handed over to Nangong Qiu for safekeeping. Because he was pursuing a higher level of martial arts, if the sword in his hand was too sharp, it would be detrimental to practice.

Seeing that he was using a wooden sword, he had no internal strength when dancing, so he could not kill the enemy at all. He was just a gesture of pretending, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled and said, "Since your young master likes martial arts, why don't you ask a teacher to teach? The few around you are all masters!"

Hu Xiaotian shook his head and sighed, "The hero doesn't know that Hu's meridians are different from ordinary people. He cannot store any real energy. Even if he practices martial arts, he will not achieve much success. Therefore, he can only concentrate on literature to gain fame and glorify his ancestors. Now that he has been studying hard for ten years, he finally has the opportunity to come to Beijing to meet the saint, which is considered as living up to the expectations of his elders." Looking at Song Qian and others, "It's just that the family members are worried about my safety on the way, and they have to mobilize so many people to protect me, which makes me lose even the freedom!"

Song Qian hurriedly interrupted: "Young Master, you are the only male in this generation in the family. Sheng Jingxing's millions of property will be waiting for you to inherit in the future. The old boss has given him instructions that there will be no mistakes on the way, and you will be sent to the capital safely. Just understand the old man's mood!"

The two of them sang together, and Li Shan could not help but let Li Shan dispel his doubts. At that moment, Song Qian asked someone to bury the thieves' corpses and continued to set off. Li Shan also headed for the Central Plains and happened to walk together. Along the way, Li Shan spoke intentionally or unintentionally and tried, but Song Qian's answer was not leaked, and he did not reveal any of the horse's feet.

During the conversation, everyone realized that in order to seek a breakthrough in swordsmanship, Li Shan wandered in the Gobi desert in the past two years, and specially found horse thieves and wild wolves to practice swords. He died countless dead souls under his sword. This winter, after his swordsmanship was perfect, he decided to return to the Central Plains. On his way back, he happened to encounter Gu Sandao and his gang committing crimes, so he drew his sword to kill all the horse thieves present. Only Gu Sandao and other leaders escaped in the chaos. Of course, he would not let these culprits go, chased them all overnight, and finally killed the three remnants.

Hu Xiaotian rode his horse and Li Shan side by side, and asked with a smile: "Brother Li is now very successful in his swordsmanship. I wonder what plans are for returning to the Central Plains? Should he return to the Beggars' Sect to serve, or should he set up his own business?"

Li Shan was stunned. His roots were in the Central Plains. He decided to come back because he was tired of the wandering life. As for what to do after he came back and how to develop, he really didn't think about it carefully. The years of experience and killing have changed his mind greatly. He is no longer willing to surrender to others and obey the command of others. But once he returns to the Beggars' Sect, he will not only lose his freedom of action, but also arouse suspicion and alertness from his fellow brothers. He hesitated for a moment and sighed: "If the Beggars' Sect is in trouble, of course I will go back unwillingly. If the Beggars' Sect is safe, I will disturb people's hearts and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. The world is so big that I always have a place to live; the sky is high and the sea is wide, and there will always be a place where eagles fly. I have a knife in my hand, why fear it?!"

Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that Brother Li has difficulties that are not worthy of being told by outsiders! But to be honest, with your martial arts courage, you will achieve something no matter where you go! Sooner or later, you will definitely become a stolen person in the world."

Li Shan laughed silently: "You and I have just met each other today and don't know each other well. Why is Mr. Hu so confident in Li?"

Hu Xiaotian smiled faintly: "A true hero, just one look is enough. If Brother Li is willing to recognize me as a friend, I am willing to do my best to help you!"

Li Shan's heart moved and looked up. Hu Xiaotian was calm. Almost at the same time, the two laughed at each other and reached a silent tacit understanding. One was a single horse and urgently needed strong assistance. The other intended to contact the Baidao master to fight against the powerful enemy Qinglong Gang, and naturally hit it off.

In the evening of that day, everyone arrived at the banks of the Weishui River and camped in the wilderness to rest. The next morning, Li Shan quietly slipped out of the camp and wanted to find a place to practice swords. He climbed over a slope and suddenly saw Hu Xiaotian standing under a dead tree with a serious expression. He was stabbing the trunk with a wooden sword. Every sword stabbed out as if he had used all his strength, as if he was facing a lifelong rival. The sweat evaporated like fog, and it was obviously a long time to practice. Li Shan was surprised and funny. This was clearly a child's action. I wonder what the use of him was to practice? Seeing that Hu Xiaotian came and went, he was practicing that move. It was slow, without internal force, and had no power at all, so he couldn't help but shake his head.

Although Hu Xiaotian's true energy was banned, he still had an extraordinary keen feeling. As soon as Li Shan's eyes fell on him, he immediately noticed someone peeping. Practicing swords in the morning is his daily homework. Everyone who traveled with the Demon Cult knows that, so no one dared to disturb him when he practiced swords. Li Shan was the only one nearby who didn't know this rule. Hu Xiaotian didn't want to expose his strength in front of Li Shan, so he stabbed a few swords in a pretentious manner. He was about to withdraw his sword and return to the camp, but suddenly a scream fell from the sky. A black falcon swept down from the sky and rushed towards a snow fox that appeared at some point.

The snow fox was petite and silver-white all over, but its two pointed ears were fiery red, like two flashing flames, extremely beautiful and cute. It jumped like flying on the snow, watching the movements of the enemy in the air while escaping. Just as the falcon was about five feet above it, it suddenly stopped, rolled two times in a row, and immediately changed direction and rushed. The falcon could not hold back and rushed over. When it soared into the air again, its prey had already escaped ten feet away. One eagle and one fox were chasing rapidly on the snow. Although the falcon was fierce and fast, the snow fox always avoided the other party's death-taking iron claws when it was ineffective.

Hu Xiaotian looked at the incredible dodging method of snow fox, which was completely unpredictable. Not to mention a falcon, even if a human master attacked, he might not be able to catch it. The more he watched, he became more fascinated. If he had learned the body and footwork of snow fox, wouldn’t he have a great chance of winning against the enemy? At this moment, he carefully observed the movements of snow fox’s sudden stop, turn, lift, flip, and other actions, and combined with the light skills he had learned in the past, he seemed to have some understanding.

At this moment, the snow fox, intentionally or unintentionally, fled towards the direction where Hu Xiaotian stood. The falcon chased him relentlessly and roared angrily, and was unable to catch the cunning opponent.

Hu Xiaotian was secretly surprised. Could it be that this snow fox is spiritual? He actually knows how to use external forces to get rid of the pursuit of natural enemies? After a while, the snow fox rushed straight ahead, and "swooshed" into the hem of his long gown, curled up at his feet and shivered. Then a strong wind passed by, like a knife cutting the surface. The falcon flapped its wings and flew into the air in a slanted manner. But it was unwilling to give up, hovering above Hu Xiaotian's head, making sharp roars from time to time, as if warning Hu Xiaotian to dodge quickly.

What a person Hu Xiaotian is? How could he be scared by it? His heart was filled with anger and said coldly: "Do you, a flat-haired beast, look down on me? Come on!" Since he heard Chi Yan's warning, he has made up his mind to never avoid any challenges. Even if he is facing a peerless master, he will draw his sword to fight. If not, he will definitely go backwards sharply in martial arts, and even never be able to lift the restrictions in his body, so he will be worse than death.

Seeing Hu Xiaotian still moving, the falcon roared with anger, his wings closed and he swept down violently, and his momentum was extremely fierce.

Hu Xiaotian took a deep breath and stared at the black shadow as fast as lightning, his heart was clear. Between the world, it seemed that he was the only one who was confronting the falcon. Although he had not been in a duel with others for a long time, at this moment, the feeling of forgetting the things of the past, and fearlessness reappeared. "Please find it in your heart, your magical powers are natural, and the sword moves with your heart." Ouyang Jue's proverb passed through his mind like a meteor. He closed his eyes gently and felt the vibration of the surrounding air with his heart. The long sword suddenly moved, as if it was slow and fast, stabbing the falcon's left wings.

The falcon roared and swayed and rushed upwards. He didn't dare to stay for a moment and flew straight to the eastern sky. Only a few black feathers were left slowly falling, and blurred blood was vaguely visible.

The snow fox heard the falcon's cry and stretched out half of his head to watch curiously. Seeing the falcon's appearance of falcon running away in a hurry, he couldn't help but jump out happily, rolled a few times on the snow, and then hit Hu Xiaotian's feet, gently rubbing his head against his calves to show his gratitude.

Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said, "Okay, your enemy has been driven away, go home quickly!"

The snow fox nodded with a "whimper" and circled around him twice before running away reluctantly.

Hu Xiaotian turned around, his eyes accidentally flew across the slope, and said in surprise: "Hey, why are Brother Li coming? Why don't you greet me?"

Li Shan had never thought about hiding his whereabouts. He smiled slightly, jumped to his side, took a few steps, glanced at the wooden sword, and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Hu was a master who was hidden! The sword just now was so clever, as if it was slow, it was definitely the level of everyone's swordsmanship. I saw Lie heartbroken below and wanted to compete with Brother Hu, how about it?"

Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li is making things difficult for me? Look!" He went back to the sheath and opened his right hand that had just held the sword. A blood mark had already cracked at the tiger's mouth. "I can't drive my true energy. I can't just rely on brute force to shoot the sword. How could it be your opponent? With Brother Li's eyesight, can't I see my true situation? I still know myself, please spare me!" He sighed in his heart. He still failed to break through to the realm of the God Fight, otherwise the sword just now could pierce the falcon's wings and wouldn't be injured.

Li Shan was stunned for a moment. When Hu Xiaotian drew his sword, he did not have any internal strength on the sword. Even if he deliberately concealed it, he would never bleeding from the tiger's mouth. But how can he explain his magical sword technique? If he lacked a deep understanding of sword technique, he would definitely not be able to use that sword. He frowned and said, "That brother Hu's performance just now..."

Hu Xiaotian scratched his head and said, "I am a stubborn person. Although I am born to be unable to cultivate internal strength, I still insist on practicing swords and strengthening my body every morning. I have been there for ten years. So when I saw the falcon pounced down, I instinctively swung my sword and stabbed it. I didn't expect it to hit me by chance! Haha, it was purely an accident!"

Li Shan was not willing to believe his words. The falcon was hitting extremely fast. If an ordinary swordsman could not stab him, he fell under Hu Xiaotian's wooden sword. How could the word "coincidence" be explained clearly? Hu Xiaotian's mysterious origin is definitely not a simple rich young man. A sudden movement in his heart, he approached the dead tree, gently stroked the dent sword marks on the trunk, and smiled faintly: "It's worthy of practicing sword skills for ten years. Brother Hu's wrist strength is quite strong!"

Hu Xiaotian was about to hide it, but suddenly heard the dog barking and trembled, and it came from afar. The snow fox returned, and three black hunting dogs were chasing behind it. Both sides were extremely fast at the speed. In a blink of an eye, the snow fox rushed to Hu Xiaotian's feet without thinking, and still hid as if he had just been, as if he had regarded him as his protector. The three hunting dogs were obviously well trained and did not pounce on Hu Xiaotian directly, but stopped and surrounded him, revealing his sharp dog teeth and roared in a low voice, with a fierce shape.

Li Shan frowned, looked at the three evil dogs coldly, and shouted in a low voice: "Get out!"

The three hunting dogs were so scared that they clamped their tails and rushed away. At this moment, a group of knights appeared on the hillside in the distance, wearing furious horses and holding bows and arrows, running towards the footsteps left by the hunting dogs. There were about ten of them, and the head was a woman wearing a red cloak and riding a rouge horse, as if a ball of fire was swept across the snow. The three hunting dogs ran over as if they saw a savior, and they hurriedly ran over, their throats whimpering, as if they were crying.

Hu Xiaotian shook his head and sighed: "Brother Li, trouble is coming!"

Li Shan said calmly: "Brother Hu, are you and I afraid of trouble?"

Before he finished speaking, the sharp arrow broke through the air. The woman in red actually set off a bow and shot it more than ten feet away, using a rare pearl arrow technique. Although the two saw the sharp arrow shooting, they did not move. The two arrows watched as they brushed past them and shot to the ground. Most of the arrows were buried in the snow.

The woman in red originally wanted to speak out first, but she was damned by the other party's momentum, but she didn't know that the person was not fooled. Her demeanor made her feel like a child's play. She couldn't help but feel angry and rushed straight to the horse. She pointed to the long bow in her hand and shouted: "What are you two standing here sneakily?" Her eyebrows were raised, her phoenix eyes were angry, and a faint blush appeared on her white cheeks. She saw her face as peony, her jade neck was slender, her shoulders were as thin as skinny, her chest was firm and tall, and her beautiful legs were tightly clamped against the horse's belly, fully showing her perfect and hot figure curve, which was enough to make people suffocate. She was a beauty selected from thousands of people.

Hu Xiaotian naturally would not be affected by her beauty and hotness, and said calmly: "Miss, is this your hunting ground? If not, we have the freedom to come and go, so we don't have to apply to you in advance? Besides, we are worthy of the world, openly and upright, not stealing or robbing, and what is the 'sneaky'?"

The woman in red laughed in anger: "The more you say it, the more reasonable you are? Didn't our falcon be hurt by you? You are the only one nearby who hangs a long sword, do you still want to cheat?!" As she said that, she suddenly grabbed the whip and slapped Hu Xiaotian's face.
