Chapter 120: A Desperate Battle
The morning game was over, and among the disciples of Danyang Hall, Fei Shao and Zhou Tong both broke through smoothly, while Wu Dawei and Dong Changchuan unfortunately lost and did not enter the quarterfinals.
"Then Li Junqun is really vicious. Wu Dashun said angrily that Wu Dawei's opponent was Li Junqun, Wu Dawei's strength was not as good as Li Junqun, but Li Junqun did not let Wu Dawei mean it at all, but seriously injured Wu Dawei.
"That old boy seems to have changed recently, and the opponents he fought against were all seriously injured. Dong Changchuan also came over, he was also injured, but it was only a one-move difference and he lost to the opponent.
Everyone was talking about Li Junqun's changes, and he seemed to be more yin and ruthless than before.
"It is said that this time I was poisoned by a strange poison in Jian Yuan, and an eye-like pustule grew on my forehead. Zhou Tong didn't know where he heard the news, and vividly described several senior brothers: "The pustule didn't show up at first, but it has been getting bigger and bigger recently, so Li Junqun can only tie a hairband to his head." This poison has affected his heart, so he has become fierce and bloodthirsty. ”
"What a terrible person, who of us will run into him?" Wu Dashun said.
Everyone looked at him with pitiful eyes, it turned out that if Wu Dashun won the afternoon game, he would face Li Junqun.
Ma Xie thought to himself that if everyone knew that the hairband on Li Junqun's head was just to cover up the wound he left him, he didn't know what the expression on his face would be.
The scorching sun is in the sky, and the battles on the four rings in the southeast, northwest, and east are launched at the same time!
Ma Xie and Tian Liang's arena was arranged in the northernmost place, and Tian Liang knew in his heart that all this was for the convenience of the "big man" above his head.
Tian Liang's short knife is called "Red Fang" and is a three-grade weapon.
For a cultivator of Tian Liang's level, it was already extremely rare to have a "sharp weapon", and Tian Liang was often proud of it, after all, many elders in the sect did not have a "sharp weapon".
"Your sword is not bad. Tian Liang looked at Ma Xie's sword.
"This sword is not mine, and I won't tell you the name, but I'm just using it temporarily. Ma Xie slowly drew his sword, flicked it with one hand, and the scabbard flew out and stuck on the ground.
In the etiquette of swordsmen, this represents "no retreat", which means that in this battle, Ma Xie will not take the initiative to admit defeat.
"Yes, courageous!" Tian Liang showed his pale teeth: "Everything you have belongs to me!"
As he spoke, the short knife Chiya spun around in Tian Liang's hand, and then Tian Liang held it with his backhand.
"It seems to be faster than speed. Ma Xie thought when he saw Tian Liang's posture.
The usage of short knives is generally divided into forehand and backhand, forehand heavy power, backhand heavy speed, although Ma Xie has never used a master with a short knife, but this is known.
As the saying goes, an inch is short, an inch is dangerous, and Tian Liang's short knife is extremely flexible, and it is instantly slashed towards the three key points of Ma Xie.
Ma Xie's long sword blocked two slashes, but Tian Liang's third sword slashed through his face, and Ma Xie could only bend backwards and dodge this one.
Who knew that Tian Liang's reaction was extremely fast, and just as Ma Xie's body flashed back to a limit, and was about to retract it, his short knife stabbed back again.
Ma Xie saw the short knife coming from his right side, and his body actually slid downward, sliding under Tian Liang's feet like a fish, dodging Tian Liang's fatal blow.
"Your sword technique seems to have been integrated with some kind of fist technique. Ma Xie said.
Tian Liang said: "You have a good eye, but you still didn't say it right, don't refer to me, almost all short knife techniques will be integrated into boxing, this is the subtlety of short knife techniques!"
Generally speaking, the longer the weapon, the more likely it is to have dead ends, and the short weapons will have many fewer dead ends than long weapons.
Therefore, when you use your own shortcomings and defeat the enemy's strengths, you must fight in close quarters and occupy the "dead end" of the other party. As one of the short weapons, the short knife will generally draw on the routines of boxing when used, so that the flexible advantages of the short knife will be maximized, and there will not be too many dead ends.
Compared with Tian Liang's short knife, Ma Xie's long sword is already a long weapon, so in Tian Liang's opinion, as long as he can keep getting close, Ma Xie will eventually reveal his flaws.
I saw Tian Liang's feet turn, and he came to Ma Xie again.
His short knife kept swinging, and in an instant, he swung out nine knives, this is his famous move "Nine Teeth", the short knife is like a fierce beast, biting towards the nine vital points of the horse evil.
Ma Xie used the word "seal" to protect his body with sword light, blocking Tian Liang's attack, and the two of them quickly attacked and defended within a foot of each other, attracting bursts of admiration from the surrounding crowd.
"It turns out that this little junior disciple of Danyang Hall is already so powerful, no wonder I heard that several elders rushed to ask for it when I got started. ”
"That's natural, Danyang Hall has always been a master of swordsmanship, and he can bring back Liu Jianxian's sword, his talent is definitely not ordinary!"
......
Almost everyone was praising Ma Xie's swordsmanship for his orderly attack and defense, and his advance and retreat were well-founded, and he was able to hold on to Tian Liang's crazy attack without revealing any major flaws.
Tian Liang became more and more anxious, he originally wanted to rely on his surprise attack to occupy a certain advantage, and then "ravage" Ma Xie well, who knew that dozens of rounds had passed, and he actually fought with Ma Xie on a par, how could this be performed in front of that "big man"?
I saw that Tian Liang bought a flaw and jumped out of the circle.
"Senior Brother Ma, I won't show mercy to my subordinates. Tian Liang said and took out a slightly longer knife from behind him and held it in both hands.
Ma Xie said: "Can't help it? It should have been like this a long time ago, wasting so much time on you and me." ”
Tian Liang's body continued to condense aura, and his limbs began to become a little thicker, and even his face seemed to be much more hideous than just now.
Ma Xie also knew that this Tian Liang was going to use a trick, he didn't dare to slack off at all, and it was also his luck to "refine the body with golden needles", and inserted all eighty-one golden needles into all parts of his body.
"This state only lasts fifteen breaths, hopefully it will solve this guy. Ma Xie knew in his heart that his "Golden Needle Battle Body" could not be used all the time, so he had to fight quickly.
Tian Liang's double knives turned into two streamers, slashing at Ma Xie's left shoulder and right abdomen respectively, Ma Xie did not dodge this time, but turned the long sword, drew a circle in the air, and Tian Liang's double knife hand-to-hand contact.
But this time it was completely different from the previous attack, this time Tian Liang's move was extremely powerful, almost shaking off Ma Xie's long sword, and Ma Xie's block did not completely stop Tian Xie's attack, and the slightly shorter knife still entered Ma Xie's defense range, and it slashed Ma Xie's left shoulder.
Ma Xie's left shoulder sank, and the long sword was pulled from his arms, trying to crack Tian Liang's move, who knew that Tian Liang had already prepared, and the knife in his left hand hit Ma Xie's sword body, Ma Xie's left shoulder was defenseless, and he was slashed fiercely.
"Hehe, you're finished!" Tian Liang said excitedly when he saw the blood gushing out.
His body glowed red, and his veins suddenly swelled, and the twin knives slashed towards Ma Xie's body like chopping meat.
However, Ma Xie has now used the "Golden Needle Battle Body", although he was stabbed, but he didn't hurt the root. His strength and speed had been greatly enhanced, and he left Tian Liang's attack range with a slight force.
Tian Liang didn't give up, and continued to pounce on Ma Xie, and Ma Xie swung out a sword qi, blocking his movements.
"Hahaha! You really don't dare to get close?" Tian Liang saw Ma Xie attacking with sword qi, and smiled proudly, in fact, he didn't say it to Ma Xie, but just to the audience behind him.
On the stands, everyone saw that Tian Liang's sword technique was ruthless, and the forced Ma Xie did not dare to fight in close combat, so he could only slightly block Tian Liang's offensive with his sword qi.
But at the top of the stands, Wu Pingtian still shook his head: "Let's change someone, this person can't force him to use the 'Xiaoxiang Eight Swords'." ’”
With that, he turned and left the stands.
It turned out that Ni Shuifeng asked Tian Liang to use all his strength, just to see if Ma Xie had learned the "Xiaoxiang Eight Swords".
In fact, it's not that Ma Xie doesn't use it, it's just that Ma Xie hasn't fully comprehended the Xiaoxiang Eight Swords so far, plus the Xiaoxiang Eight Swords are good at it, and Ma Xie won't use it unless he has to.
However, this Tian Liang's close-range trembling really made Ma Xie uncomfortable, and he never found a chance to defeat the opponent with one blow.
"Since you are so fond of pestering people, let you run well!" Ma Xie suddenly jumped out of the circle, no longer trembling with Tian Liang, but used his speed to run on the field.
Tian Liang scolded Ma Xie for being a coward, while chasing Ma Xie, whenever the two of them closed the distance, Tian Liang used a knife to attack Ma Xie, but after a few moves, Ma Xie ran with Tian Liang again.
Sure enough, as soon as this move was used, Tian Liang's grappling power suddenly decreased a lot, and he couldn't fight around Ma Xie, Tian Liang's knife technique gradually showed flaws, and his physical strength seemed to be unable to keep up, constantly panting.
Seeing that Ma Xie was about to "consume" himself to death, Tian Liang had to stop, and using the double knife and body refining method at the same time, Tian Liang's aura finally reached the upper limit.
"What kind of monster are you, why is your aura still so sufficient?" Tian Liang said as he looked at Ma Xie.
Ma Xie didn't answer him, in fact, he himself immediately reached the limit, but Ma Xie's meridians were opened at the same time, and the amount of spiritual energy was much larger than that of ordinary cultivators.
Tian Liang thought that he had not defeated Ma Xie for so long, and the "big man" above would definitely be unhappy, his alchemy technique was about to lose its effect, so no matter what today, he would fight to the death to take down Ma Xie!
I saw Tian Liang roaring, constantly condensing the aura in his body, this was already his last strength! But the previous Tian Liang consumed too much aura, and Tian Liang's head was constantly sweating.
"He's ...... in the overdraft themselves. Ma Xie saw what Tian Liang was doing, and he condensed the aura while absorbing the aura.
This kind of practice is very dangerous among low-level cultivators, and it is very easy to cause an explosion if the aura that has not been tempered by the true qi directly enters the body! Therefore, the cultivators usually accumulate the aura little by little, and never dare to absorb the aura while fighting.
But Tian Liang did this, the muscles on his body continued to expand, and blisters kept popping up under his skin, and these blisters would burst after swelling to a certain extent, and what emanated from it was the aura that Tian Liang couldn't control.
"Die!" Tian Liang roared.
The twin knives turned into a swift wind, like two poisonous snakes swinging towards the horse evil.
The powerful Spiritual Pressure blocked Ma Xie's movements, and Ma Xie had to take on this crazy enemy with a long sword.
The twin knives were getting closer and closer, and Ma Xie knew that he could no longer dodge, so he chose to meet the enemy head-on.
He suddenly changed the arrangement of the golden needles in his body, controlling the direction of the aura in his body, and his muscles also swelled up instantly, and the whole person seemed to become larger.
Then Ma Xie held the sword in both hands, and the long sword slashed down at Tian Liang's head.
Tian Liang didn't expect Ma Xie to have no defense, so he just confronted himself, stopped a foot away from Ma Xie, raised his double knives above his head and caught Ma Xie's sword.
He didn't dare to take any chances, and if he didn't defend again, he had no doubt that he would be split in half by the horse evil before the twin blades touched him.
