Chapter 167 Joining the Team
The thick spiritual energy swept in like a raging tide, causing the air to tremble, revealing a terrifying power.
Shangguan Jiannan pointed his sword straight ahead and shouted in a deep voice like thunder, exploding with a lingering sound that echoed all around.
In the small courtyard, the crisp sound gradually spread, and Shangguan Jiannan's eyes became unusually solemn.
There was silence all around, and the other four members of the Windward Team stared at the confrontation with strange looks in their eyes.
Seeing this, the blue-robed man's expression changed slightly, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He slowly pulled out the long knife from his back, causing the air to tremble. He obviously did not dare to slack off at all and stared at Shangguan Jiannan closely.
With roars, the battle officially broke out.
Shangguan Jiannan moved, the spiritual energy was rich, and there were continuous roars.
The two men rushed out like lightning and collided violently, stirring up a cold breath, like a winter wind and snow, sweeping over, making the man in blue robe shiver.
"Although this person's fire can restrain my coldness, it is not enough to make me afraid." Shangguan Jiannan raised a trace of contempt, and the long sword shook violently. A buzzing sound rang out, red light flashed, and the power of the Slaying Heaven Sword increased greatly.
He waved his hand, and even more terrifying spiritual energy surged out. In front of the two of them, the spiritual energy surged like a tide.
All the onlookers looked horrified.
"The power of this sword may have been included in the list of secret treasures!" Exclamations came one after another.
Onlookers exclaimed in surprise, and emotions spread quickly.
The four members of Yingfeng Team were all shocked when they saw the long sword in Shangguan Jiannan's hand.
A hint of surprise also appeared on Lu Jing's face. It was obvious that this sword was extraordinary.
The sword flashed, cutting through the air, and the cold light spread everywhere. The surrounding space was instantly shrouded in a mysterious coldness, which formed a sharp contrast with the heat on the other side. The two collided violently.
"Die!" The blue-robed man had a distorted face, and his hoarse voice was filled with trembling and ecstasy. The power restraint gave him more confidence, and it seemed that he was sure to win.
However, Shangguan Jiannan remained calm, his spiritual energy surged like a tide, and then his face became solemn.
With a roar, the space trembled, cold currents and strong winds raged, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy became stronger and stronger.
The cold light advanced rapidly, the red light dissipated, a figure flew out backwards and slowly landed.
The spiritual energy surged, and Shangguan Jiannan's eyes flickered with surprise.
The sharp spiritual energy was as sharp as a knife, accompanied by countless streams of light, shining in the astonishment of the crowd.
In the small courtyard, two figures briefly confronted each other and then quickly separated. One of them was knocked away and fell heavily on the bluestone slab. The ground shook slightly and the sound of explosion echoed.
Then, the ground suddenly began to tear apart, and the cracks spread like a spider web.
The deafening explosions continued to sound, echoing in the air, making people's hearts palpitate.
When the blue-robed man groaned in pain, everyone woke up from their dream and looked at everything in front of them with wide eyes in disbelief.
The ground left behind by the explosion was in ruins. The originally solid soil was covered with coldness and blue smoke was rising.
The strong gust of wind gradually dissipated, revealing two figures, and the winner was decided.
One of them stood with a sword in his hand, his face calm; the other one fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
The four onlookers breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought it was just a simple competition, but they didn't expect it to be so thrilling.
Shangguan Jiannan's victory shocked everyone and they all expressed their admiration.
His nervous expression finally relaxed after the victory was announced, and he secretly rejoiced in his victory.
Xu Dake walked towards him and welcomed him with a smile. The other three also nodded in agreement.
In this world of warriors, the strong are naturally respected, while the weak have no status.
As a member of the Yingfeng team, Lu Jing was accustomed to this and was not surprised by Shangguan Jiannan's victory.
The man in blue robe was lying on the ground, his face as pale as paper and his spirit was listless. It was obvious that he was filled with anger and frustration at the moment. He struggled to stand up but failed.
With a light snort, the man fled in a panic. The members of the Windward Team paid no attention to him and were immersed in joy.
When warriors go into the mountains, thorough preparation is essential, especially for long-term garrison teams like the Yingfeng Team, where material preparation is particularly critical.
Shangguan Jiannan successfully moved into a room in the small courtyard that Xu Dakai bought in Dahuang City.
After settling down, everyone went to the market to purchase necessities.
Shangguan Jiannan's purpose of this trip was to gain experience, and before setting off, he had prepared dry food and other items from the Tianjian Sect and hid them in a storage ring.
A few days later, when the sun was shining, Shangguan Jiannan and his group of five left Dahuang City and embarked on a journey to Duanyun Mountains.
Most of the warriors in Dahuang City make a living by hunting monsters and collecting medicinal herbs, and all these resources are hidden in the Duanyun Mountains.
If you don’t go into the mountains, you will have no livelihood.
Although warriors earn a lot of money, their expenses are also high.
Xu Dakai and others have stayed in Dahuang City for more than half a month. It is time to go deep into the mountains.
On the road, people come and go in all kinds of shapes and sizes: some return from the mountains with full loads, with happy looks on their faces; some walk into the mountains with full of longing; and some look frustrated and sad.
Shangguan Jiannan was a newcomer to the mountains, but his past experiences had given him some understanding of this land.
But this time is different, we are here for experience and the stay will be longer.
Shangguan Jiannan is good at swordsmanship, and his sword skills have left a deep impression on everyone.
Xu Dakai is accompanied by a broadsword. As the team leader, his strength has reached the late stage of the Sword King realm.
Lu Chuan is a big and strong man, holding a huge shield, showing his defensive posture.
Feng Bowen, on the other hand, is a gentleman, totally different from the image of a warrior.
The five people each show their strengths and are about to write a new chapter in the Duanyun Mountains.
The mountains and rivers were not obvious, but Shangguan Jiannan felt that the only old man in the team was quite extraordinary, and thought to himself: Anyone who can be included in this group must be extraordinary.
Lu Jing still held a pitch-black painted halberd in her hand, the faint light flickering on it from time to time, revealing the extraordinary power contained in the halberd.
The "Violent Rose" Lv Jing lived up to her reputation. As Shangguan Jiannan examined her, he secretly admired her for her great improvement.
Everyone was familiar with the route and moved forward without any delay. In about half an hour, they reached the heart of the Duanyun Mountains and continued to explore deeper into the mountains.
In the deep mountains, there is a sea of green forests. When the wind blows, the leaves rustle. Occasionally, the roar of monsters and the sound of the wind interweave into an ancient and desolate melody, echoing in the chest of the Broken Cloud Mountains.
This mountain range is ancient and mysterious, and every breeze seems to carry the weight of time.
In the woods, light and shadows are mottled, and several figures are moving back and forth like ghosts. They are explorers who have come deep into this place. There are many powerful lone rangers among them, but more are like Shangguan Jiannan's team, who work together in unity to find a glimmer of hope in this dangerous place.
Shangguan Jiannan and his group have been deep in the mountains for many days. The five members of the Yingfeng Team walked hurriedly, but only brushed past a few tiny monsters and gained little.
