Chapter 101: The Return of Pingju Wang

  The broadcast screen is in disarray.

  At this time, a cultivator shouted: "Evil Sword Great God, you have already swept away the Flame Fire Demon Sect and the Black Water Demon Sect, please go and destroy the Cangtu Demon Sect."

  Cangtu Demon Sect is a demon sect that worships the Great Earth Demon God. It's a rather formidable demon sect with a unique technique called "Earth Concealment". While ordinary cultivators fight on the ground, Cangtu Demon Sect can hide in the earth and launch surprise attacks from underground, making it difficult to defend against. Among cultivators, there is a saying that once you engage in combat with someone from Cangtu Demon Sect, the best strategy is to fly into the sky and get as far away from the ground as possible, because Cangtu Demon Sect becomes much less intimidating when they leave the earth.

  There were also cultivators who shouted: "Yes, yes! Go sweep away the evil wind of the Cangtu Demon Sect, we will follow!"

  Yan Zhen looked at the broadcast and couldn't help but sweat a little. He had destroyed the Huo Yan Magic Sect because of Bao Huo You Yan's arrogance, which made Yan Zhen very unhappy. And he had destroyed the Hei Shui Magic Sect because they had taken the initiative to provoke him, so why would he go out of his way to deal with the Cang Tu Magic Sect? How boring. But what Yan Zhen didn't know was that many of the magic practitioners in the Cang Tu Magic Sect were already sweating bullets on their foreheads, fearing that Xie Jian would respond to this broadcast and destroy their prestige, as Xie Jian's current momentum was too strong.

  Immediately, another cultivator shouted on the air: "Evil Sword Great God, go and sweep away the Sharp Gold Demon Sect! The Sharp Gold Demon Sect has been acting recklessly lately."

  Rui Jin Mo Jiao is a demonic cult that worships the Red Gold Demon God. Unlike other cultivators or demon cultivators, who typically wield only one sword, this cult has a peculiar way of playing with multiple swords at once, using many swords to clash with their opponents. Their swordsmanship is unpredictable and difficult to measure, and the power of their multi-sword flow is extremely great. It's said that the leader of Rui Jin Mo Jiao, Fang Chongtian, excels in the Three Swords Flow.

  Yan Zhen was also sweating profusely, did these cultivators think they could sweep everything under the rug? What Yan Zhen didn't know was that several demonic cultivators from the Rui Jin Demon Sect were also breaking out in cold sweats, they were naturally afraid that the Evil Sword would really come knocking on their door.

  Immediately, another immortal practitioner shouted on the broadcast to sweep away this and that with the evil sword, and to show off the power of our immortal practitioners. And now, there are no more demon cultivators who dare to speak out on the broadcast, all of them have been thoroughly suppressed by Yan Zhen's morale.

  Yan Zhen looked at the chaotic scene, smiled helplessly and decided to temporarily log off. As soon as Yan Zhen's consciousness detached, he quickly left the Immortal Cultivator's Network and returned to the real world.

  Just then, back in the real world, several people from the neighborhood passed by the front door of their house, all discussing something.

  "The evil sword is really awesome." said Yan Silver Clothes.

  "Yes, Evil Sword is simply awesome this time." Yan Tongyi nodded: "He's facing four opponents who have mastered two sword sources, and these four demon cultivators have also formed the Great Array of Clouds and Water. Under such an array, Evil Sword still wins, it's formidable."

  "Yes, indeed. Even the famous masters Feng Xing, Liu Shui and Bai Jing were defeated by the Array of Clouds and Water, the Evil Sword is too powerful." Yan Yin Yi praised.

  Yan Zhen listened to these people's discussions, a faint smile on his face. It seemed that the rumors had spread far and wide, and this situation was not unique to Eagle Swallow Fortress. Throughout the entire Daji Kingdom, in its many famous mountains and rivers, great rivers and streams, and in the various caves and temples where immortals and demons cultivated their powers, everyone was discussing him.

  With the codename "Evil Sword", I've really become famous overnight, haha, and Yan Zhen also has a slight sense of accomplishment.

  ……

  In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and the days are slipping away like flowing water.

  Yan Zhen plans to practice her footwork.

  Yan Zhen now knows two sets of steps. One set is the Heavenly Ladder Step, which can be used to ascend vertically. The other set is the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada Step, which is very useful for chasing and escaping.

  But Yan Zhen didn't have a set of footwork that greatly affected combat, so Yan Zhen decided to practice the Shadow Step.

  Shadow Step, once mastered, has a mysterious and unpredictable effect. The principle of this step is to stick to the opponent like a shadow, making it difficult for them to attack you, which is very useful in one-on-one combat.

  Yan Zhen now wants to practice this set of shadow steps. The best way to practice many kung fu techniques is by sparring with others.

  Yan Zhen quickly found someone with the codename Feiyang to fight against.

  Fei Yang, male, a loose cultivator, on the foundation building stage platform 420 battles with 180 wins. This person is considered to be of medium strength in the foundation building stage platform.

  Before long, the two entered a simulated scene. This time's simulated scene was a courtyard under the moonlight, and there were also plum blossoms beside the courtyard.

  With a flourish of his hand, he said very seriously: "To be able to fight with Evil Sword Brother is my honor in the Foundation Building stage, please instruct me more."

  Yan Zhen also knew that his recent reputation had been growing, so it was not surprising to see such a situation. Yan Zhen cupped his hands: "Please, Brother Fei Yang, give me more guidance."

  Yan Zhen's hand was grasping the hilt of his sword, and after seeing Fei Yang's swift and fierce attack, Yan Zhen did not immediately draw his sword. Instead, he leaned in close to Fei Yang, dodging at extremely close range. This fighting style was extremely treacherous, and it was fortunate that Fei Yang's swordsmanship was not high, combined with Yan Zhen's exceptional eyesight, which allowed him to do so. However, despite this, Yan Zhen repeatedly encountered danger, and he himself was severely injured several times, although fortunately, the wounds were extremely shallow. Only when forced did Yan Zhen suddenly raise his sword to block an attack.

  Yan Zhen also discovered in the battle that to practice this shadow step, it's best to find the dead angle of the opponent's sword. So, this is a matter of judging the dead angle. No, not just judging the dead angle of the sword, but also the dead angles of the opponent's hands and feet that can be used for attack. Constantly moving in these dead angles makes it impossible for the opponent to hit oneself.

  However, the combat situation changes rapidly, and judging dead angles is also changing rapidly, so this set of footwork isn't that easy to practice.

  The war ended in a stalemate.

  After a draw, Fei Yang smiled slightly. He wasn't a fool and had guessed many things: "Evil Sword is testing out new moves again, but this set of moves is quite unique. You barely drew your sword, probably practicing footwork."

  "As Brother Fei Yang said, I am practicing a set of steps, and it's a bit of trouble for Brother Fei Yang to practice this set of steps, sorry. Yan Zhen is a person who is polite to others when they are polite to him, but also ruthless to those who are ruthless to him."

  "It's already worthwhile to have exchanged blows with the legendary Evil Swordmaster. " Feiyang smiled, turned around and left.

  Then, Yan Zhen thought of pulling someone else to fight with him. This time, his opponent was the Princess of the Feather Snow Immortal Sect, Huangfu Xiaogongzhu.

  Huang Pu Meng, sounds like a delicate person, but actually has a pretty good record, 320 battles with 150 wins, is the average level of the foundation period, soon Yan Zhen and Huang Pu Meng entered the simulated scene, this time's simulated scene is on the arched stone bridge.

  Yan Zhen stood at this end of the arched stone bridge, while Huang Fu Meng stood at that end.

  Huang Pu Meng said: "Xie Jian big brother, don't underestimate me, I won't let go either."

  "Then let the little princess take action." Yan Zhen also smiled: "I won't go easy on you either."

  Yan Zhen only saw that with a slight movement of Huang Fu Meng's hand, a long sword appeared in her hand, its transparent body adorned with several large teardrop-shaped ice crystals. The sword was extremely beautiful. Huang Fu Meng's swordsmanship was also beautiful and cold, earning Yan Zhen's silent admiration. She had heard that the Yu Xue Xian Men's swordsmanship was beautiful, and it seemed to be true. Yan Zhen didn't draw her sword either, quickly closing in on Huang Fu Meng while rapidly dodging and weaving, trying to evade Huang Fu Meng's attacks by hiding in the blind spots of her strikes.

  Yan Zhen only saw Huangfu Meng's sword continuously flipping, thinking of attacking himself. Yan Zhen herself was also constantly changing, continuing to hide in the dead angle. It was really impossible to dodge, so she suddenly used the hilt to block it, and the sword didn't even come out of its scabbard. This little princess Huangfu also had some skills. Yan Zhen encountered danger several times and was stabbed, but they were all minor injuries, not a big deal.

  In the end, this battle also ended in a draw.

  After the battle, Huangfu Meng spat out bitter water: "Evil Sword Big Brother, it's really hard to fight with you. You always hide in the dead angle of my attack, and then when you could easily win, you don't take advantage of it. No wonder Red Sleeve Arrow Sister said she would never fight with you again."

  "Do you know Hong Zhuijian?" asked Yan Zhen.

  "Hmm, of course I know her. Hong Xiu Jian is a big beauty in reality." Huang Fu Meng's lips curled up slightly: "If you want to pursue her, I can tell her your real identity, and also help out a bit as an intermediary."

  "Whatever, I'm not interested." Yan Zhen shrugged.

  Then, Yan Zhen continuously chose opponents to fight with. At first, he didn't choose very strong opponents, but later on, he gradually chose stronger and stronger ones. In the continuous battles, Yan Zhen also gradually found the feeling of Shadow Step.

  The radio also broadcast a flurry of discussions: "The King of Pingju Reappears in the World."

  "The greatest myth of the foundation period, the evil sword, reincarnated as the King of Balance."

  "The evil sword seems to have a special liking for Wang Pingzhou, but it's unclear why."

  "Yes, I just had a draw with him again, it's extremely infuriating." A cultivator complained.

  "But no, I and Evil Sword have been called the Draw King three times when we fought. The first time it was a draw, Evil Sword kept blocking and rarely counterattacked. The second time it was a draw, Evil Sword kept disrupting my attacking rhythm. And the third time, Evil Sword hardly made any moves, always keeping extremely close and constantly dodging my sword attacks, like my shadow. This person nicknamed Ruo Yan is obviously a very meticulous person, he concluded: "I estimate that Evil Sword is practicing different ultimate skills, hence the various draws."

  In the midst of these people's surging discussions, Yan Zhen continued on his own path, unwavering for three hundred years.

  Also don't know how many battles, after a battle, Yan Zhen suddenly let out a long breath, finally mastering the Shadow Step. After mastering this step, it will make the opponent feel extremely nauseous.

  Yan Zhen now feels that he is quite complete in all aspects, with four sword sources for offense, one sword source for defense, Shadow Step method for combat, Eight Steps Chasing Cicada for speed, and Ascending Heaven Ladder Step method for vertical movement.

  Unfortunately, on the foundation period platform, I no longer have an opponent for myself, and I couldn't have a good fight once.
