Chapter 238 243, Guan Yu passes the sword!
When Ouyang Feng walked into the lobby.
Guan Yu suddenly stood up from his seat and strode towards Ouyang Feng.
Seeing Guan Yu's actions, Guan Feng was shocked and looked at Guan Yu nervously.
Ouyang Feng remained calm, only admiring in his heart that Guan Yu was indeed extraordinary.
He was extremely tall, almost nine feet [Han foot, about 23 centimeters], with broad shoulders and back, as majestic as a mountain. When he was walking, his tall and majestic figure, coupled with the aura of a tiger general who had survived hundreds of battles and was feared throughout China, gave people a great sense of oppression.
Of course, with Ouyang Feng's level of cultivation, even if Lu Bu from the Fengyun World was reborn, or even if the Overlord was reborn, they would not be able to overwhelm him with their momentum.
He looked calm and tranquil as he looked at Guan Yu, guessing what the other party would do next.
Then he saw Guan Yu stop three steps in front of him, suddenly raised his hand, and bowed:
"Guan Yunchang, thank you for your kindness, friend Ouyang!"
Ouyang Feng was slightly startled. He had never expected Guan Yu to do this. He quickly raised his hand to hold Guan Yu's arm to prevent him from bowing.
"Young people are not worthy of your great honor..."
He held Guan Yu's arms with both hands and felt that Guan Yu had incredible strength. The power of his bow was like a mountain collapsing.
Guan Yu also felt that Ouyang Feng's strength in supporting him was incredible, making him feel as if he had met the peak of Lu Bu.
What surprised Guan Yu even more was that Ouyang Feng still looked quite relaxed and didn't seem to be exerting his full strength.
Although Guan Yu was nearly sixty years old, he was still as energetic as a young man. He continued to bow with his divine power and said solemnly:
"My dear friend, you saved Feng'er's life three times, killed Pan Zhang, defeated Lu Meng, beheaded Lu Xun, saved Jiangling, and saved Jingzhou, so that our army would not be cut off from retreat... But Guan's tribute is not only to thank you for saving Feng'er and my life, but also to thank you for saving the Han Dynasty from desperate situation and preserving the hope of revival!"
Guan Yu was well aware of how terrible Jiangdong's evil plot was and how serious the consequences of losing Jingzhou would be.
Therefore, his words came from the bottom of his heart, and his gratitude to Ouyang Feng was genuine.
However, gratitude did not prevent him from secretly competing with Ouyang Feng.
Who told Guan Feng to always call him "Brother Ouyang"? Whenever he mentioned this "Brother Ouyang", his face was full of admiration and his eyes were shining.
You know, since childhood, the person Guan Feng has admired the most has always been his old father!
however.
Even though Guan Yu had exerted 100% of his strength, he still could not bow down.
Ouyang Feng held Guan Yu's arms firmly, his hands motionless, as if he was holding up a mountain, and said:
"Feng'er and I are good friends. How can I stand by and watch Feng'er get into trouble? Your Excellency, there is really no need to do this..."
As they were talking, they heard a few crisp cracking sounds and the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open. Dense cracks spread out in all directions and covered half of the hall in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that the hall floor would collapse if they continued to fight, Guan Yu had no choice but to stop, stand up, take a deep look at Ouyang Feng, and say to Guan Feng:
"Feng'er, please step aside and let me and Young Friend Ouyang have a private chat."
Guan Feng looked at the cracks on the floor with a strange look. Although she was a little worried, she could not go against her father's wishes, so she could only retreat obediently.
After she leaves.
Guan Yu invited Ouyang Feng in, and sat down with him as host and guest. After a while of silence, he did not rush to ask about Ouyang Feng's background, but only said:
"My friend has made a great contribution this time. I would like to write a letter to recommend you to the King of Hanzhong. With your contribution, it is not a problem for you to be granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister."
Ouyang Feng shook his head and said:
"I appreciate your kindness, sir. But I am not interested in a career in politics, and I am helping Feng'er this time just because the opportunity arose."
Guan Yu was surprised. How could there be young people nowadays who were not interested in fame and fortune?
In particular, Ouyang Feng achieved great success, which earned him the title of nobility and the rank of general.
With this achievement, even if he is just a commoner, he can rise to the top in one step.
Such a credit, and you just want to give it up?
Guan Yu was a little skeptical, thinking he was just being polite. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Ouyang Feng say:
"Of course, although I am not interested in fame and fortune, I do have some aspirations."
Guan Yu asked, "What do you want, young friend?"
Could it be Feng'er?
With his merits, if he enters the government, he will surely get a high position, and he can also ask to marry Feng'er.
But if you don’t want to join the government…
Thinking back to the tone and expression in Guan Feng's voice when he mentioned "Brother Ouyang", thinking of Ouyang Feng's kindness to his Guan family, Jingzhou, and the great cause of restoring the Han Dynasty, and thinking of the fact that he was just a fugitive in his early years, Guan Yu felt that this was not impossible.
Guan Yu did not need to marry into any family, nor did he need to consider the other party's family background when marrying his daughter. Even if the daughter was just a commoner, as long as Feng'er liked her, it was fine.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Ouyang Feng say:
"I have been fond of martial arts since I was young, and my main weapon is swordsmanship. I have heard that you have a peerless swordsmanship that shocks the world and makes ghosts weep. I wonder if you can teach me?"
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly:
"Do you want to learn Guan's stunning sword move?"
Ouyang Feng nodded and said:
"Exactly."
Guan Yu was silent for a while, then shook his head and said:
"You are quite honest. But I have already forgotten about that knife."
That stunning blow left a deep shadow on Guan Yu.
With one slash of the sword, the entire city was completely wiped out and turned into a white land. No soldiers or civilians in the city survived, and even their corpses were reduced to ashes.
If the entire city had disappeared and nothing was left, Guan Yu might have been able to deceive himself, but at the edge of that white land, there was still half the remains of a mother and her child...
Guan Yu was a man of humble character who was proud of his superiors but not merciful to his subordinates. He bullied the strong but not the weak. He never killed people indiscriminately in his life, and was unwilling to kill prisoners to reduce his burden even when food and grass ran out. How could he bear to see such a tragic scene?
Especially since the tragedy was caused by his own hands.
From then on, he sealed his stunning sword and would never use it even when facing desperate situations.
He looked at Ouyang Feng and said in a deep voice:
"It's not that Guan Yu is hiding something from others. That sword is something that ordinary people cannot wield. With one strike of the sword, everything is annihilated, leaving no room for any chance... Since I created this move, I have only used it once, and that one time has made me regret it to this day. Therefore, I swear that I will never use that sword again, and I will not teach it to anyone."
Ouyang Feng knew that Guan Yu's will was indestructible and that even his death could not shake his resolve. If he said that he would not pass on his sealed moves, then he would definitely not teach them to anyone else.
In this regard, Ouyang Feng could only sigh with regret, saying "what a pity", and then said:
"In that case, I will not force you. But even if you don't use that stunning strike, your swordsmanship is still unrivaled. I would like to learn your other swordsmanship."
Although Guan Feng inherited some of Guan Yu's swordsmanship skills, as a woman, her body shape and strength were not as good as Guan Yu's. Therefore, her swordsmanship had already embarked on a different path from Guan Yu, a path that belonged to her.
Therefore, if Ouyang Feng wanted to learn Guan Yu's swordsmanship, he had to ask Guan Yu himself.
And if he could learn the essence of Guan Yu's swordsmanship, Ouyang Feng felt that it would be very likely that he could use the Tongtian Treasure Mirror to reflect that stunning sword strike based on Guan Yu's swordsmanship.
Guan Yu originally thought that after Ouyang Feng refused to teach him the stunning sword technique, he would mention Guan Feng, but he didn't expect that he was still talking about the sword technique. He couldn't help feeling a little weird.
Could it be that this boy is unromantic and doesn't know Feng'er's feelings for him?
He stared at Ouyang Feng for a while and said slowly:
"You have accomplished extraordinary feats, but you do not seek fame or fortune, but only swordsmanship... I now really believe that you are a mountain monk obsessed with martial arts."
Ouyang Feng said solemnly:
"Please help me, my lord."
Guan Yu pondered for a while, then stood up and said:
"Go to the training ground."
……
In the training ground, Ouyang Feng and Guan Yu were standing facing each other at a distance of three meters.
Guan Feng stood at the edge of the training ground, looking at the two people in the field a little nervously, and warned:
"Father, please don't hit me too hard, don't hurt Brother Ouyang."
What a word!
Guan Yu glanced at his daughter with dissatisfaction, thinking that girls are really outgoing.
You, "Brother Ouyang", are young and strong, even stronger than Lu Bu at his peak, and more powerful than I was in my youth. Yet you actually told me, an old man in his sixties, not to hit you too hard...
Shouldn't you tell him to be gentler and not hurt your old father?
I can’t keep this daughter anymore!
Guan Yu felt jealous, and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied when he looked at Ouyang Feng. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a stiff tone:
"Guan's sword techniques are all learned from battle formations. They focus on momentum and intention rather than moves. There are not so many fancy tricks."
As he spoke, he grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands, charged forward, and shouted:
"Be careful!"
Boom!
Guan Yu pushed the ground with his feet, and the entire training ground shook violently. An invisible shock wave was transmitted to Ouyang Feng's feet like lightning, making him feel that the solid ground had turned into turbulent water, which was about to shake his body and made him unstable and unable to exert any force.
Of course, this had no effect on Ouyang Feng. No matter how his feet shook, he remained as steady as a mountain.
However, this shock was actually just a prelude to Guan Yu's attack.
Just as the ground was shaking, Guan Yu's body exploded into the air and he rushed forward with a momentum like a tidal wave and a sea of swords. His Green Dragon Crescent Blade drew a cold arc of light and he slashed straight at Ouyang Feng with the momentum of splitting mountains and chopping cliffs.
Zheng!
Ouyang Feng took out the snowflake iron knife, and slashed with lightning speed. The blazing knife light merged into a long river, like a river in the sky bursting its banks, carrying the momentum to destroy and strangle everything, and faced Guan Yu's knife.
clang clang clang clang...
The sound of metal clashing against each other continued.
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade was like a real green dragon, which, with unstoppable ferocity, split the surging and violent river of sword energy like a river in the sky, and went straight upstream.
clang--
When the last deafening sound of metal clashing rang out, the two men passed each other and once again opened up a distance of three meters between them.
"Good sword skills!"
Guan Yu turned around, looked at Ouyang Feng, and praised:
"As expected, the next generation is formidable! Take another blow from me!"
Guan Yu held the sword in one hand, raised it above his head, and suddenly slashed it down.
Guan Yu's sword is indeed one that focuses on momentum and intention rather than moves. Each of his swords is simple and unpretentious, but each of them possesses immense power, not only cutting the body, but also the mind.
Even when Ouyang Feng faced his sword, his mind was vaguely affected, and he had a strange illusion, as if even the space was split open by this sword. The dazzling sword light was like a continuously spreading space crack, which was indestructible and shattered wherever it passed, and no one could stop it.
If it were an ordinary person, his mind would be frightened by Guan Yu's sword intent, and even if he still had the courage to resist, his strength would be greatly reduced.
However, Ouyang Feng's mental cultivation had already reached the external realm, and a slight influence on his mind was not enough to shock his determination.
The snow-white iron knife was swung back toward the sky, and the knife light was like a white dragon rushing against the sky, colliding head-on with the knife mark that split the sky.
clang!
Amid the sound of metal clashing that could be heard for miles, Ouyang Er's sword light, like a white dragon, shattered into pieces, and the sword's force was also suddenly reversed. However, Guan Yu's sword mark that split the air was still full of force and continued to chop down.
However, due to Ouyang Feng's counterattack, Guan Yu's continued chopping force was no longer as fierce as before. Ouyang Feng's long sword spun rapidly, and the layers of sword light built an indestructible wall in front of him, finally reducing Guan Yu's sword force layer by layer until it came to a standstill.
"it is good!"
Guan Yu laughed loudly, took a step forward, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, twisted his waist and swung his arms, and suddenly swept the long sword across.
woo-
A sharp whistling sound of the wind was heard.
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade suddenly disappeared into thin air. With the naked eye, the blade could no longer be seen. It only felt as if the long-handled sword had completely turned into a beam of light.
Even Ouyang Feng could not see the Green Dragon Crescent Blade with his naked eyes and could only use his spiritual sense to catch a faint hint of the blade's shadow.
At this moment, Ouyang Feng had already sensed something in his heart.
If we combine Guan Yu's sword force that seemed to cut through the void with the swift slash of the sword that disappeared and turned into light at this moment, I'm afraid the prototype of that "smitten sword" can begin to emerge.
In a flash, Ouyang Feng followed his spiritual sense and the snowflake iron knife drew a light and ethereal arc, intercepting it before the knife shadow approached him.
Amid the long sound of metal clashing, Ouyang Feng flew backwards, all the way out of the training ground before landing lightly on the ground.
Guan Yu did not continue to attack.
He leaned on his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, stroked his beard and sighed:
"The essence of my swordsmanship is all in those three strikes. You can block my three strikes. The rest of my swordsmanship is probably unbearable to you."
He originally thought that with these three sword strikes, he could at least knock out Ouyang Feng's sword, or even put the sword on him.
But he didn't expect that the three most essential sword strikes of his life were all blocked by Ouyang Feng, and he blocked them with ease - it's not that Ouyang Feng's sword skills were still reserved. Guan Yu could see that Ouyang Feng's sword skills were fully displayed, but he still retained a lot of strength and was far from his full strength.
Guan Yu felt that unless he used the "Striking Sword", he would not be able to find out Ouyang Feng's true identity.
No wonder Feng'er admires him so much. This young man, in terms of martial arts, is probably better than Lu Bu at his peak. In this era, he is invincible.
Guan Yu was feeling emotional.
Ouyang Feng stood quietly outside the training ground, silently recalling Guan Yu's three sword strikes, and bowed to Guan Yu:
"Thank you for your teachings, my lord!"
Seeing that his martial arts were obviously better than his own, yet he was still so humble and eager to learn, Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart, and at the same time reflected on his own arrogance and self-conceit.
The evil plot of Jiangdong almost succeeded this time. It was certainly because Jiangdong shamelessly broke the alliance, but Guan Yu boasted that Jiangdong was afraid of him and would never dare to be his enemy. He was arrogant and careless, and trusted the so-called allies. He also let his temper dominate Mi Fang and Fu Shishi during the war, causing them to be dissatisfied with him, and he almost made a big mistake.
Guan Yu's death was a small matter, but if it ruined his brother's cause of restoring the Han Dynasty, then he would never be able to atone for this sin even if he died a thousand times.
Guan Yu decided to carve this lesson into bamboo slips, carry them with him, and read them three times a day as a warning to himself.
Thinking of this, when he looked at Ouyang Feng who helped him to redeem himself from his big mistake, his eyes became soft and kind, and he nodded and said:
"You can stay at my house for a while. I will write down my experience in swordsmanship. If you don't mind, you can read it."
Ouyang Feng said happily:
"I can't ask for it."
A few days later, Ouyang Feng left Jiangling and headed for Yizhou, taking with him Guan Yu's sword skills experience and several letters.
Lingyun Grottoes are located in Yizhou.
Ouyang Feng has longed for the "Blood Bodhi" in Lingyun Cave.
