Chapter 114 Fang Ziyu Eats Fish

On the open space outside the small porch window, two figures crisscrossed back and forth, sword light flashing through.

One of the teenagers with a white cloth wrapped around his right arm held a strange-looking red longsword in his hand. The blade of the sword opened and closed, and every move was extremely powerful.

The other was a girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. She had a petite figure and a lovely appearance. Holding a green edge in his hand, he casually staggered under the sharp blade of the youth's sword. However, he was able to dodge the youth's attacks repeatedly, as if he was walking leisurely.

Her lips occasionally coquettishly said, "Left!"

"Right!"

"Up there!"

Every time she said that, the sword in her hand pierced through the youth's sword like an arm and pierced into the position she had said.

The teenager appeared to be casual under the girl's attack, but in fact, he was in a sorry state. Soon, the teenager caught a flaw and swung his sword, sending the sword in the teenager's hand flying.

"How is it? Isn't this miss amazing?" The girl who had succeeded in her attack jumped up and down to the youth's side. Her dark eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled and flaunted.

However, the youth did not reply to her. He only silently looked at his right arm holding the sword. His brows furrowed as if he was lost in thought.

"Hey!" The girl who did not receive a response shouted in dissatisfaction. Her small nose wrinkled up, extremely cute.

"Are you angry?" She approached the youth and asked.

At that moment, the youth shook his head, and his eyebrows stretched out.

He bent down and picked up the sword on the ground. He looked at the girl and said, "Again!"

As a result, the two of them clashed again.

…

The Mountain Destroying Swordsmanship was a very strong swordsmanship.

This kind of sword technique abandoned fancy techniques. What was more important was how to exert strength and defeat the enemy with the fastest and strongest method in the shortest time.

Speak more bluntly.

The Mountain Destroying Sword Technique was a killing sword technique.

This kind of swordsmanship was most focused on actual combat.

Moreover, this sword technique was used by ordinary sword cultivators, but Xu Han was different. In order for his inner and outer sword cultivators to display this sword technique to its maximum, they needed not only to activate the True Qi within their bodies to increase their strength, but also to use the strength of their physical bodies to achieve the best results.

However, Zhong Changhen could not teach him this.

In the words of this Sword Dao Grandmaster, everyone had their own Sword Dao. Although the difference was only minor, the true Grandmaster had grasped these minor details. The same swordsmanship could even produce completely different effects in the hands of different people.

If Xu Han wanted to truly master this sword technique, he had to use his own methods to change this sword technique.

This was also the first lesson that the Sword Dao Grandmaster taught Xu Han.

Xu Han thought about it for a long time.

He counted the people he knew in the Exquisite Pavilion, who could be the training partner.

One must know that this was a very exquisite matter. Since it was a real battle, one had to let go of one's hands and feet. If both sides were afraid of each other, this method would not have the desired effect. Therefore, this person must be much stronger than Xu Han, and the first thing Xu Han thought of was Chen Xuanji.

His fleshly body cultivation was at the third level of the Fleshly Body Realm, the strength of his arms was at least eighty jun, and an ordinary person's punch was enough to be turned into meat paste by Hong Cheng.

Although his Internal Strength was only at the second stage of the Pill Yang Realm, he had opened a total of 365 acupoints, each of which was three times larger than an ordinary person's. The true energy capacity in his body was comparable to that of a cultivator at the Three Yuan Realm.

Together, Xu Han's ability to explode with strength in a short period of time was enough to compete with an ordinary cultivator at the fourth stage of the Netherpassage Realm.

Therefore, the only person Xu Han could think of was Chen Xuanji.

It was just that he was busy preparing to deal with Meng Liang, the disciple of Mount Li who was about to beat up all the outstanding young men of the Great Zhou Empire, but Xu Han didn't want to disturb him.

But who would have thought that Fang Ziyu, who was looking for Xu Han to play at home, would hear Xu Han's troubles and immediately patted his chest. He volunteered to be Xu Han's training partner.

At first, Xu Han was hesitant.

This was not because he looked down on Fang Ziyu. As the second senior sister of the Exquisite Pavilion, a Sword Cultivator at the Netherpassage Realm, Xu Han knew that even if he risked his life, he might not be able to defeat Fang Ziyu. However, what he was afraid of was that if he fought with all his might, he would lose his weight and injure one of them.

However, he couldn't beat Fang Ziyu's entanglement, so it was best for him to reluctantly accept it.

At first, Xu Han had many misgivings about this and did not use his full strength. However, after being defeated by Fang Ziyu a few times, Xu Han gradually let go of his hands and feet.

At that time, Xu Han finally had a clearer understanding of the strength of a top sword xiu.

After all, Fang Ziyu was a Sword Dao expert trained by Zhong Changhen. Every time she drew her sword, her timing was extremely clever, her angle was crafty, and her strength was extremely well grasped, causing Xu Han to be in an endless sorry state.

The two of them fought for an entire afternoon. It was already dark, but Xu Han still hadn't found any chance of winning. Or rather, every time he lost, there was no suspense.

However, Xu Han also benefited greatly from every battle. His control over the [Mountain Destroying Sword Technique] and his understanding of the sword dao were rapidly improving, seemingly inadvertently.

Another soft sound rang out.

The sword in Xu Han's hand was once again sent flying by Fang Ziyu.

"How is it? Are you still coming?" Fang Ziyu provoked proudly.

Xu Han knew about this Second Senior Sister's temperament. This was just a joke. There was no malice, so Xu Han did not care.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. It was getting late.

"No, let's call it a day. We'll continue tomorrow." He shook his head. Although his physical body had already reached the Diamond Realm and his recovery was excellent, his physical fatigue could be relieved, but it was difficult to calm his mind. It would be better to have a good rest than to continue practicing. After all, the gains and losses of today would be better than to go all out tomorrow.

The so-called "too late" was probably the reason.

"Alright." After practicing all afternoon, Fang Ziyu was also a little tired. She reached out to wipe the sweat off her forehead and nodded.

Seeing her like this, Xu Han felt somewhat grateful in his heart.

"Do you want to stay for dinner?" He asked kindly.

"You made it?" Fang Ziyu glanced at Xu Han.

It had already been four or five days since Chu Chou left. Ye Hongjian seemed to have reached a critical stage in her cultivation these past two days. Although she persisted in coming back every day, Xu Han could not bear to see her work too hard, so he took the initiative to take on the task of cooking.

Xu Han's craftsmanship was not good. In the past, when he was a beggar, he did whatever he wanted to do. He just took out a bunch of disorderly stews and cooked them. He didn't pay attention to anything else.

Later, he encountered the ocean currents.

The old man's mouth was hanging in the air. He criticized Xu Han's so-called "culinary skills" a lot, and Xu Han put in a lot of effort to satisfy him. Especially in order to take care of Xuan'er, the greedy cat. In Xu Han's opinion, his skill in cooking fish had already reached the palace level.

Even Miss Ye, who was accustomed to luxuriant clothes and good food, praised endlessly for this.

"Steamed big carp, do you want to eat it?" Xu Han replied confidently.

Fang Ziyu was also a greedy insect. She thought that the sweet potatoes roasted by Xu Han were enough to be comparable to that idiot Chen, so the fish she cooked probably wouldn't be bad. Therefore, she nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Xu Han expected it. He nodded and signaled Fang Ziyu to stay in the courtyard for a while before entering the kitchen alone.

Xu Han's hands and feet were agile, and the ingredients had already been prepared. He didn't need to waste much effort and quickly put the cleaned carp in the pot.

Xuan'er, who did not dare to be alone with Fang Ziyu in the courtyard, sniffed the fish fragrance and jumped onto the stove platform anxiously. She kept shouting uncontrollably, as if she was urging Xu Han.

Ye Hongjian, who had been cultivating for a day, also returned to her residence at this time. She was about the same age as Fang Ziyu, and Fang Ziyu's temperament was very vigorous. Very quickly, the two of them began to chat without a word at the stone table in the courtyard.

Ye Hongjian talked about what Chang'an had seen and heard, while Fang Ziyu talked about that idiot surnamed Chen. For a time, the two of them got along quite well.

Very quickly, Xu Han's side was completely busy.

He served the plate of steamed carp that was filled with fish fragrance, stir-fried two more dishes, and sat down with the two of them.

"Come and have a taste. I asked Song Yueming to buy the big carp at the foot of the mountain." He warmly greeted the two of them.

Two days ago, when he was cooking for the first time, he thought that Ye Hongjian came from the Marquis Manor and was used to eating good food. This was the only fish he could cook, so he tried to cook a roasted fish. After Ye Hongjian ate it, she was satisfied, and Xuan'er liked these things the most. Therefore, he had been changing the way he cooked fish these past few days.

Fang Ziyu had never been polite, so he immediately took out a large piece of delicious fish meat and put it into his mouth. At that moment, a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

"Delicious!" She said loudly, but she couldn't stop anymore.

Xu Han was not surprised by this. He peeled off a large piece of fish meat from the plate and placed it on a special plate for Xuan'er. He handed it to this greedy insect that was already impatient. He turned to look at Ye Hongjian and said, "Hongjian, why don't you eat it?"

Hearing this, Ye Hongjian felt as if she had woken up from a dream. She smiled awkwardly and reached out her chopsticks to pick up a small piece of fish and put it into her mouth to chew slowly.

Ye Hongjian's appetite didn't seem to be very good. Although the food she cooked these days was delicious, she didn't eat much, and most of it went into Xuan'er's stomach.

"It's delicious." After swallowing the fish, Ye Hongjian smiled and nodded, confirming Xu Han's culinary skills.

Xu Han smiled and picked up his chopsticks. He was just about to taste the fruits of his labor.

"Eh? Martial Uncle Ye, I remember hearing Martial Uncle Ning say that you never eat fish? Last time, at the Master Ceremony, he even asked me to specifically tell the kitchen not to cook fish for you …" However, at this moment, Fang Ziyu suddenly looked at Ye Hongjian in confusion, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, and shouted loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Han and Ye Hongjian were immediately stunned on the spot.

Xu Han was very puzzled. Did Ye Hongjian have such a taboo? He had never heard her mention it, and the food he cooked these days was mainly fish, Ye Hongjian even praised him.

Thinking of this, Xu Han looked at Ye Hongjian in confusion.

But at this moment, the Marquis' daughter's face was flushed red, and the chopsticks in her hand were hanging in the air.

It's not going in, it's not going back…
