Chapter 209 Take My Sword

Saying that, Yan Xizhao looked at Wang Tiancheng and others apologetically.

"Two senior brothers, senior sister Gu, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back as soon as I can."

Wang Tiancheng smiled and said, "If Junior Sister Yan doesn't mind, we can go over and have a look, maybe we can provide some help."

"Of course that's better, but I'll trouble you all." Yan Xizhao didn't refuse.

Because she knew that Wang Tiancheng and Xu Nianran were both well-informed people, and they might be able to provide some help.

Yan Peng naturally had no objection.

The group of people came to the quiet room where Yan Fei was.

When I saw Yan Fei lying upright on the bed board, unable to blink or open her mouth, except that her eyeballs could move and her nostrils were breathing, she was almost indistinguishable from a dead person.

Even Yan Xizhao couldn't help but look surprised.

"What kind of poison is this? Why is it so weird?"

Wang Tiancheng and Xu Nianran also looked surprised.

Because they have never encountered this kind of situation.

Xu Nianran stepped forward and gently placed his hand on Yan Fei's pulse. After a moment of careful consideration, he couldn't help but frown.

"Brother Xu, how are you?" Wang Tiancheng asked.

"It's strange. This girl's pulse is steady and strong. She doesn't look sick at all." Xu Nianran was surprised.

Yan Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "My imperial doctor said the same thing. At that time, my mother thought she was possessed by an evil spirit. She even asked a few Taoist nuns to exorcise the evil spirit, but it had no effect at all."

"Of course it won't be effective, because this is definitely a rare poison." Xu Nianran said with certainty.

"Then why can't there be any clues in the pulse?" Yan Xizhao asked.

"Maybe this poison only targets the muscles of the human body and does not affect the blood vessels." Xu Nianran thought.

"Is there really such a strange poison in the world?" Gu Chaoyue expressed doubt.

"Isn't this the one in front of you?" Xu Nianran said.

At this moment, Wang Tiancheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "Has your sister had any conflicts with anyone?"

"I asked her in detail before I came here. At that time, my sister was about to go to her usual store to buy a new rouge, and then suddenly this happened." Yan Peng said.

"Who told you this?" Wang Tiancheng asked.

"A few women who often hang out with my sister."

"Can you call them over? I have some questions to ask them." Wang Tiancheng said.

In order to make it easier to take care of his sister, Yan Peng actually brought these women, so when he heard what Wang Tiancheng said, he immediately nodded.

"Okay, I'll call them now."

After a while, Yan Peng led several women to the quiet room.

At this moment, these women no longer had their usual arrogance. They were trembling all over, and the expressions on their faces were even more frightened.

No need to ask, just based on the performance of these women, Wang Tiancheng concluded that there was definitely something going on.

He didn't use any means of intimidation or deception, he just asked a simple question.

"Can you tell the truth about what Princess Yan Feiyan was doing at that time?"

As soon as the words fell, these women collapsed on the ground and begged with tears on their faces.

"I said, I said, please don't kill me."

To these women who came from low-level official families, Yan Xizhao and Wang Tiancheng of Xijian Villa were simply a group of aloof immortals.

So they dared to lie to Yan Peng, but they absolutely did not dare to hide anything from Wang Tiancheng.

And as these women narrated, everyone present finally knew what was going on.

After hearing the name Shang Luoluo and the fact that there was an extraordinary young man beside her, Wang Tiancheng and Xu Nianran looked at each other and already had a guess in their minds.

"It turned out to be him, no wonder!" Wang Tiancheng sighed.

"I didn't expect that in addition to sword skills, he would also have such in-depth research on the poison path. It is really a formidable future." Xu Nianran also sighed with emotion.

"Do you two senior brothers recognize this person?" Yan Xizhao asked immediately.

"Yes, this person is the rising star of Yunxiao County, his name is Zhao Ya."

With that said, Wang Tiancheng briefly told what happened to the three of them in Yunxiao County and how they met Zhao Ya.

After listening, Yan Xizhao suddenly said: "Is this person tall and straight, good at swordsmanship, and has a calm personality, and often makes shocking remarks?"

"Hey, Junior Sister Yan also recognizes him?" Wang Tiancheng said in surprise.

Yan Xizhao smiled and said, "It doesn't count as acquaintance, just a brief acquaintance."

Although they didn't know why Yanxi Zhaohui, who was far away in the capital, knew Zhao Ya, Wang Tiancheng and Xu Nianran wisely chose to ignore it.

After all, everyone has their own secrets, and sometimes it’s better not to be too curious.

"If it was Zhao Ya who did it, it would be simple. I guess he didn't have murderous intentions. At most, he just wanted to punish him, so just go directly to him to get the antidote." Xu Nianran said.

"I'll go." Wang Tiancheng said.

"No need, since this matter started because of my Yan clan, then let me end it."

Yan Xizhao said calmly, then stood up and said to Wang Tiancheng and others.

"Brothers, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone to respond, he rushed out and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Wang Tiancheng and Xu Nianran looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Go and have a look."

Although they didn't have much contact with him, they all knew Zhao Ya's temper.

That is a character who would rather bend than bend.

And they all knew Yan Xizhao's temper.

Although he was gentle and elegant in his dealings with others, showing his noble qualities, he was actually very proud and would never compromise easily.

A daughter of the Yan royal family and a rising star from another county, if there was a conflict, it would be a big deal.

So the two of them did not hesitate and followed him.

The three of them rushed to Yandu City one after another as fast as a startled wild goose.

It was only a short distance of more than 20 miles, and at their speed, they arrived in an instant.

After arriving in Yandu City, Yan Xizhao roughly identified the direction and then went to Guangdefang.

Because it was daytime, in order not to shock the world, Yan Xizhao chose to walk on streets with fewer people as much as possible.

Although it was a bit roundabout, Yan Xizhao still arrived at Guangdefang quickly.

Although she didn't know the specific location of Shang Luoluo's house, Guangdefang was not very big, so she was too lazy to ask and flew directly over these residents.

She believed that as long as Zhao Ya was among these people, he would definitely come out to check.

Sure enough.

When she came to a courtyard with only two entrances.

Not long after returning home, Zhao Ya, who was practicing the Eight Vajra Longevity Exercise in the house, suddenly opened his eyes, and then jumped into the courtyard, just in time to meet Yan Xizhao who landed on the courtyard wall.

"Is it you?"

Zhao Ya was very impressed by Yan Xizhao, so he recognized her at a glance.

Yan Xizhao looked down at Zhao Ya with a scrutinizing look, and nodded slightly after a moment.

"Yes, it's me! I didn't expect that after a few years of separation in the underground cave, you have already stepped into the half-step fifth realm."

Zhao Ya smiled, "You are not bad, it seems that you have finally taken that step and achieved the fifth realm."

"Yes." Yan Xizhao nodded.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you suddenly coming to me?"

Zhao Ya certainly didn't think that Yan Xizhao came to him just to reminisce about the past.

"Did you poison Yan Fei?"

"Yes." Zhao Ya did not hide it and admitted it generously.

Yan Xizhao was silent for a moment, then said: "She is my cousin!"

"Oh, then what?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

Looking at Zhao Ya with a calm face, Yan Xizhao suddenly smiled.

"From what Senior Brother Wang said, you are very calm and often do unexpected things. Now it seems to be true."

"Wang Tiancheng from the Golden Sword Academy?" Zhao Ya asked.

"Yes, there is also Senior Brother Xu from the Wu Nian Academy, and they will probably arrive soon." Yan Xizhao said, then gently lowered his hand.

"I know that Yan Fei is arrogant and domineering, so it is understandable for you to punish her, but I have to take the lead, otherwise the people in the capital will know and think that the royal family of Great Yan is so weak and can be bullied."

"So what?" Zhao Ya remained calm, but his hand was already on the handle of the meteorite knife.

"So take my sword. If you can take it, I will ask Yan Fei to come and apologize in person. If you can't take it, you won't be in danger of losing your life, but you must bring the antidote."

"Okay!"

Although I know that Yan Xizhao has already achieved the fifth realm of Taoism, and she achieved it through the broken mirror, her strength is extremely strong.

This can be seen from the sense of oppression she gave me.

The sense of oppression was even three times stronger than that of Wang Tiancheng.

But even so, Zhao Ya not only did not show any fear, but also ignited a raging fighting spirit.

You must know that martial arts practice is a retrograde road, and the difficulties and obstacles encountered are countless.

If you don't have a heart that is high-spirited and fearless when encountering strong enemies, you are destined not to go too far.

So Zhao Ya did not hesitate at all and agreed directly.

At this time, the people in the merchant were also alarmed.

The servants hid in the house trembling and dared not come out.

Shang Luoluo and Zui'er came out together. When they saw Yan Xizhao standing on the courtyard wall, his sleeves fluttering, like a fairy descending to the world, they couldn't help but change color.

Although Zui'er's strength is not too high, she has followed Zhao Ya for so long, so she naturally has a good eye.

So she could see at a glance that Yan Xizhao was definitely not an ordinary person.

Zui'er even felt a sense of oppression similar to Lu Dingtai from her, and the shock in her heart can be imagined.

Although Shang Luoluo did not have Zui'er's strength, she was so smart that when she saw the person wearing the clothes of Xijian Villa, she immediately understood that this should be related to Yan Fei.

"Brother Xiaoya!"

"Xiaoya!"

The two shouted in unison.

But Zhao Ya did not turn his head, but just said lightly: "Stand away, don't worry about me."

As he said that, Zhao Ya slowly pulled out the meteorite knife, and the tip of the knife pointed at Yan Xizhao.

"Come on, I want to see how amazing the swordsmanship of Xijian Villa is."

A touch of admiration flashed in Yan Xizhao's eyes.

Let alone anything else.

Just the fact that he dared to fight against himself with the cultivation of half a step to the fifth realm, this Zhao Ya has surpassed too many people.

"Okay."

Yan Xizhao also drew out his sword and solemnly performed a sword ceremony to Zhao Ya.

"This sword is named Unstained, and it was given to me by my master when I first entered the sword path."

This is not bragging, but a kind of etiquette before drawing the sword, representing respect for the opponent.

"A meteorite knife, picked up on the road, nothing special." Zhao Ya responded.

"Be careful!"

Yan Xizhao had already caught a glimpse of Wang Tiancheng and others coming from a distance, so he cut them down with a sword before they arrived.

Instantly, Zui'er felt as if a ray of light split the sky apart and rushed towards her with an awe-inspiring momentum.

She took a half step back with a pale face, her eyes full of panic.

Because at this moment, Zui'er felt that the omnipotent Xiaoya brother seemed to be defeated by this sword.

But at this moment, a flash of knife light suddenly burst out from the sword light.

Then there was a loud bang.

The airflow even blew off all the branches and leaves of a nearby tree.

Looking at the scene again, Zhao Ya appeared under the steps at some point, with the tip of the knife pointing diagonally to the ground.

On the other hand, Yan Xizhao was still standing on the courtyard wall, and didn't even move a bit.

She looked at Zhao Ya with bright eyes, and asked after a long time: "What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

"A very ordinary wind swordsmanship, which I learned when I was a bodyguard." Zhao Ya said.

"Okay!"

Yan Xizhao nodded and turned away.

Then a voice came, "When Yan Fei can get out of bed, I will ask her to come and apologize."

After saying that, she just left.

As soon as she left, Wang Tiancheng and Xu Nianran arrived.

The two landed in the yard, looking at Zhao Ya standing with a knife, their eyes were a little complicated.

They all saw the sword that Yan Xizhao had just made.

Even Wang Tiancheng thought that he could not escape unscathed when facing this sword.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya, who was only half a step into the fifth realm, successfully took this sword.

"Brother Wang, Brother Xu!"

Seeing the two of them coming, Zhao Ya smiled, and then slowly sheathed the knife.

"Xiao Ya, although I knew that your talent in swordsmanship was extremely terrifying before, I didn't expect it to be so terrifying. I believe that after today, your name will appear on the desks of many people." Wang Tiancheng exclaimed.

"Is it so exaggerated?" Zhao Ya said.

"It's so exaggerated. You don't understand what Junior Sister Yan Xizhao means to the current martial arts world in the capital." Xu Nianran said, and then smiled bitterly.

"You can take her sword, which is enough to prove many things."

"Haha, the two senior brothers are too flattering. I was just lucky. Please come in and sit down." Zhao Ya greeted.

At this time, the bluestone slabs on the ground suddenly showed cracks, which spread all the way to Zhao Ya's feet, and then broke into pieces.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ya sighed, "It seems that it's still a little short!"

In the previous move, Zhao Ya successfully used the power of the ground to resolve Yan Xizhao's sword, so it caused the bluestone slabs to break into pieces.

In comparison, Yan Xizhao is much better, at least the courtyard wall...

Before the thought was settled, the courtyard wall where Yan Xizhao had stood suddenly showed spider-web-like cracks, and then collapsed with a bang.

In the smoke and dust, Wang Tiancheng and Xu Nianran were shocked.

Zhao Ya smiled calmly.

He finally had a comprehensive understanding of his own strength.

Although he had not yet entered the fifth realm, with his powerful internal organs, he was no longer afraid of any fifth realm master, even if the opponent was a so-called genius.
