Shenyang City, tiebihou mansion, in the spacious courtyard, a young man in gray clothes is flying among the flowers and plants. A short blade with a faint blue light is flying around in his hand, and there is a popping sound of the air being cut by the sharp blade.

Suddenly, the young man stood still. Just now, he was moving like a rabbit. Now his posture is as steady as a mountain. The short blade of his right hand seems to be like a mountain knife. If he has a powerful force, he slowly splits it down. Before the light of the knife falls, the wind of the knife is spinning, With a bang, the rockery stone with a height of more than one person in the back garden was neatly split in two by this knife. The chaotic wind of the knife immediately lost control and swept the flowers and plants in the surrounding flower beds like dust. Dancing with the wind of the knife, the boy took another step on his right foot, and the knife that had been cut was like a dragon with regret, pitching up, Suddenly, the flowers and plants scattered in the air were crushed by the knife light, and the young swordsman in grey gritted his teeth, "ha!" With a sudden drink, his right foot made an effort, and his body jumped up in the air. The short blade of his right hand turned into two hands, but the blade turned outward, and he held it with his backhand and stabbed it down.

"Boom!" The hard granite ground was as vulnerable as butter under the awn of the sword. The young swordsman released his left hand, shook his right wrist, and shook out a knife flower. Then he put the short blade with a faint blue light into his sleeve, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pa Pa Pa!" Just then, a burst of applause came out from the corridor on the other side of the garden, but a boy in white clapped his hands and walked slowly. The boy looks about three years older than the young swordsman in grey clothes. He is holding a dark sword in his hand. He looks much more mature and stable than the young swordsman.

"Brother Gufan!" Seeing Gu fan coming over, the boy in grey couldn't help but put away his cold expression and said to Gu fan, "I had a lot of rest a few days ago. I felt that I was a lot lazy, so I got up and practiced the" dark meteor knife "that my father passed to me again."

Gu fan nodded, pointed to the broken rock on the granite ground and said: "Chang Feng, I think your last knife is as powerful as Shen Tian's warrior... Then you should be able to break through to the congenital level at least, or don't you have a chance?"

Chang Feng shook his head and said, "brother Gu fan, I don't have such a good opportunity as you. When I was in Canrong, people praised me and said that it's a great achievement for me to reach the congenital level at my age. In the future, I will definitely become" Ba lie ", which means" hero, Hercules "in our words of Canrong." Chang Feng said here, seems to think of the past things, slowly said: "I have always been very conceited, until I met you, Gufan big brother."

"How do you say that?" Gu fan looked at Chang Feng and asked.

"Within three years, I'm confident that I can advance to the all sky level, but I can't reach the level of eight stars like you, brother Gu fan." Chang Feng said with a little regret: "brother, you will be the goal of my life..."

Gu fan could not help laughing awkwardly when he heard Chang Feng say this, and replied: "everyone has his own chance, and everyone has his own destiny. Isn't your body method also a skill that I don't have? Even I envy such a vigorous body method. "

Chang Feng pauses a little, but lowers his head and goes on: "Gu fan, I've heard many people mention your story in this Hou mansion these days. It seems that you are really the great hero of the northerners... I'm glad that I followed you to the northerners. At least we don't have to be enemies for the time being."

"Not for the time being, but all the time." Gu fan put out his hand, patted Chang Feng on the shoulder and said, "do you know? Chang Feng, when I was in the southwest, I also had an alien friend. I gave her my high five and vowed that as long as we were there, we would never fight each other. " Gu fan slightly lowered his head, looked at Chang Feng and said: "similarly, I am willing to make an oath with you. No matter you are here in the north, or in the dog army, you and I will never meet in arms."

Chang Feng lowered his head, shook his head and said: "brother, I don't want to be an enemy with you, because if I am an enemy with you, you will be a terrible opponent, so if I am a friend with you, you will be a reliable comrade in arms... But, brother, our power in this world is too small to control our own destiny, I often have to do things that go against my wishes. "

Gu fan is noncommittal to smile for a while, it seems that is to Chang Feng's words is not very identity. Chang Feng saw that Gu fan didn't agree, and then said, "brother Gu fan, if one day I go back to Canrong and become a member of Langya guard, and you are ordered by the Northern Star emperor to defend Northern Xinjiang, how can we not fight each other?"

Gu fan light smile for a while, said: "if I, I will try to avoid fighting with you."

"If not?" Chang Feng still asked pessimistically.

"It's impossible. It can't be avoided." Gu Fan said with a cold smile: "I have enough strength to decide my own actions, and I don't have to care about the emperor's fate or not. We northerners have a saying: I will not accept the emperor's fate outside."

"But is it worth it?" Chang Feng turned around slightly, looked at the flower garden which was swept by the wind of his own martial arts practice, and said: "compared with the interests of the whole nation, if I were a person, I would choose the nation." Gu Fan said with a bitter smile, "if this war really represents the interests of the whole nation, Gu fan will never move forward, never turn back, and will not hesitate to break up." Gu Fan said this with a sudden grin, and then said: "but if I only want the interests of the superior and empty the slogan of" nation, righteousness ", for the sake of these false things, let me kill my brothers and friends, it is a delusion!" For a moment, even Chang Feng was slightly frightened by Gu fan's expression at this moment. Then he came back to his mind and said with some pessimism: "brother Gu fan, you have the strength, but I don't have... Brother Gu fan, you and sister siyao, plus Jieyun envoy, are already a force that can't be ignored. Anyone, any organization wants to move you, Now I have to weigh it... But I'm different... "Chang Feng continued:" I'm alone. If it wasn't for brother Gu fan, I would be an ice bound corpse on the ice now. " At this time, Chang Feng's shoulder suddenly came a warm feeling, that is a pair of thick hands on his shoulder“ Chang Feng, do you really want to be strong? " Gu fan seems to feel Chang Feng's state of mind and can't help asking. Gu fan nodded his head like a ghost, then nodded his head and said with a smile: "OK, follow me to a place!"
