Volume 1: The Beginning of the Storm Chapter 9: Embarrassing Mishaps
Ye Xiao kept complaining in his heart.
In the previous competition, he used all the sword steps of the eight directions to dodge. But now facing Ling Xueyao, who was using spiritual power, the Bafang Sword Step was dwarfed. With a long sword in hand, dance quickly, ready to perform the basic sword style at any time.
An ice blue snow lotus made of cold ice took shape in Ling Xueyao's hands. With a flick of the jade hand, the ice lotus flew out. The ice lotus thrown out casually, but the speed of flight should not be underestimated. In a breath, Ye Xiao's eyes rapidly expanded.
Ye Xiao had been staring at the front, and Ling Xueyao's every move naturally attracted his attention. When the ice lotus attacked, he hurriedly swung his long sword and slashed at it.
In Ye Xiao's mind, he recalled Qian Changkun's explanation that day: "Collapse the sword, stand the sword upright, sink your wrist so that the tip of the sword will collapse forward, and the power will be at the front end of the sword body and the tip of the sword. β
Basic sword style, collapse sword!
The sword is one of the most powerful sword moves. Hitting hard is the best way to alleviate the opponent's fierce offensive. But at the same time, it is also a test of one's own strength.
Dingββ
The long sword collided with the ice lotus, making a crisp collision sound.
The seemingly weak Ice Lotus was surprisingly strong, and it shook Ye Xiao's tiger mouth to the core. Taking a step back and taking advantage of the situation, Ye Xiao barely slashed this ice lotus away, which could be regarded as the first attack after Ling Xueyao used spiritual power.
But just the first flower, he struggled so hard. It's hard to imagine what will happen next.
The second ......
The third flower......
Fourth......
Ice lotus flowers followed.
Basic sword style, eight-sided sword step.
With the change of direction brought by the eight-way sword step, Ye Xiao's figure skillfully avoided an ice lotus that broke through the barrier, and appeared behind him like a ghost. Immediately afterwards was the powerful sword collapse style. A sword slashed at the ice lotus with a thunderous momentum.
The head-on battle with the ice lotus just now made Ye Xiaohu's mouth hurt. After all, even if Ling Xueyao, who was in the tenth level of the Mortal Spirit Realm, suppressed his cultivation, his strength was far from something he could be underestimated. Now he avoids its edge and sits behind it. When this sword fell, the ice lotus was immediately shattered.
Under this method, the offensive formed by the Duoduo Ice Lotus was defused by the sword in his hand, and the air was suddenly sprinkled with ice chips.
However, Ye Xiao gradually struggled. He was just a mortal with no spiritual power, and his body was difficult to match that of a martial artist in all aspects, and he gradually felt weak after a long period of consumption.
His movements slowed down, he was no longer as agile as he had been, and his feet were no longer as agile as he had been.
Touch!
A surprisingly large ice lotus slashed through the strange curve and slammed into his swinging sword.
The powerful force made Ye Xiao shocked. Because he was caught off guard, he was hit by a blow, and his steps were chaotic, and his thin body was instantly overturned to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of ice lotus rain and indiscriminate bombardment.
"Ahh
The courtyard was filled with Ye Xiao's screams.
Seeing Ye Xiao fall to the ground, Ling Xueyao hurriedly put away her spiritual power, and the ice lotus in the sky disappeared in an instant.
Running over in a panic, Ling Xueyao's little face was already full of worry: "Brother Xiao, how are you?" Xue Yao didn't mean it. β
As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, and the worry on her little face was suddenly replaced by grievance, and tears visible to the naked eye began to roll in her eyes.
"It's okay, don't worry, I don't hurt at all, you see. β
Ling Xueyao's tears were about to burst out, but Ye Xiao didn't know what to do, struggled to get up and stand firmly, and hurriedly waved his arm. But with just a slight swing, the raised arm caused pain in other parts, making him subconsciously gasp.
"And said it was fine. β
I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and they all flowed down. Ling Xueyao stretched out her arms and threw herself at Ye Xiao, hugged his sturdy body tightly, and buried her head in his arms and cried. The two clusters of fullness that had begun to take shape were clinging to him, making Ye Xiao's face red in an instant, and his reverie fluttered, and even the pain seemed to disappear for a moment or two.
"It's really fine, although it hurts a little, but I know that Xue Yao definitely didn't mean it. Ye Xiao gently stroked Ling Xueyao's little head.
"Will Brother Xiao forgive Xue Yao?" Ling Xueyao stared at Ye Xiao with a pair of big teary eyes, and the word sincerity was written in her eyes.
"Of course you will, you are my good Xue Yao. Ye Xiao affirmed, then scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "But Xue Yao, do you want to let me go first? Let others see it, how bad the impact is." β
This is your own courtyard, so naturally no one will break into it. It's just that the strange scene of Ling Xueyao and himself made him extremely embarrassed, and his old face was already red.
"Don't!"
Ling Xueyao replied resolutely, her arms tightened even tighter, and she refused to let go of anything.
Ye Xiao was helpless, he told him with good words, scared him with dangerous words, moved him with beautiful words, and persuaded him with good words, and finally moved Ling Xueyao.
Before letting go of her arms, Ling Xueyao was still worried about asking, her big eyes were full of uncertainty: "Brother Xiao really forgives Xue Yao, really don't blame Xue Yao?"
"Really, really, Xue Yao is obedient, obedient, let go of her hand. β
Ye Xiao couldn't help but reach out and touch Ling Xueyao's head again.
I have to say that every time I stroke Ling Xueyao's little head full of soft hair, I will always feel a little more comfortable. And every time Ling Xueyao was touched by Ye Xiao, she always felt very enjoyable.
With a little reluctance, Ling Xueyao was about to let go of her hand.
But a voice sounded out at an inopportune time, and a figure pushed the door from outside the courtyard. The embarrassing scene in front of him happened to be in full view of him.
Ling Fu's aged figure appeared in the sight of the two.
"Xiao'er, old man......"
Ling Fu's whole person was completely stunned by the terrible picture in front of him, and the leg that had just been raised for the step was also suspended in mid-air, as if even time had stood still.
The two people in the courtyard were even more motionless like ice sculptures, stunned like wooden chickens. Ling Xueyao's arms that she was about to let go and Ye Xiao's outstretched hand all stayed in mid-air.
Forehead...... How to say, is it a coincidence?
"The old man didn't see anything, he didn't see anything. β
Ling Fu was worthy of his experience, and immediately reacted, quickly turned his head and waved his hand, and his raised leg also hurriedly twisted an angle, turning around and planning to leave.
Although the two of them have been close to him as a grandfather since they were young, after all, one of them is the young master of the Ling family and the other is the young lady of the Ling family. If you break this kind of thing by yourself, isn't it a big trouble?
"Grandpa Fu stayed. β
"Grandpa Fu, don't go. β
Two exclamations rang out at the same time. Only then did Ye Xiao and Ling Xueyao react, quickly separated like an electric shock, and stopped Ling Fu, who was about to flee the scene.
Ling Fu sighed with regret in his heart.
"Grandpa Fu, don't get me wrong, here's the thing......" Ye Xiao hurriedly ran to the gate of the courtyard, and said kind words to "help" Ling Fu back.
"Grandpa Fu, listen to Xue Yao's explanation......" Ling Xueyao also hugged Ling Fu's arm, and said in a delicate voice.
The two roughly explained the cause of the incident, and emphasized the word "apology" many times during this period.
After hearing this, Ling Fu stroked his beard with a smile, and the words "I see" came out of his mouth. Although he knew the reason, he still seemed to have a ...... in his eyes when he looked at the two of them A little bit of fun?
But a joke is a joke after all, and after that, Ling Fu explained the matter. This time I came because Ling Tianhao had something important and needed Ye Xiao to be present.
Hearing that she was not within the scope of the invitation, Ling Xueyao immediately asked to go with her. In the end, under her coquettishness, Ling Fu had no choice but to agree.
Ye Xiao and Ling Xueyao followed Ling Fu to the Ling family's meeting hall. And along the way, the faces of the two were still fiery red, and they kept a considerable distance between walking, intentionally or unintentionally, and neither seemed to have recovered from the embarrassment of a moment ago.
Outside the Ling family's meeting hall, Ling Tianhao was already waiting at the door, waiting for them to arrive.
"Xiao'er, how did you get from entering the Gong Fa Library yesterday?" When Ye Xiao returned the family master's order to Ling Tianhao, Ling Tianhao said with concern.
"Dad, what Xiao'er chose to practice is a body martial art called Bafang Sword Step. Ye Xiao replied truthfully, unabashedly putting forward the words "Bafang Sword Step".
However, when Ling Tianhao heard the name of the Eight Directions Sword Step, there was obviously a trace of doubt on his face.
The subtle expression on his face was naturally keenly captured by Ye Xiao. As the elder said, this eight-sided sword step is really a body martial art that even my father doesn't know exists.
However, when he heard this name, Ling Fu on the side unexpectedly spoke: "It's actually the Bafang Sword Step?!"
"Grandpa Fu, have you heard of the existence of the Bafang Sword Step?!"
This was beyond Ye Xiao's expectations. But then it occurred to me that Ling Fu had been in the Ling family for a much longer time than Ling Tianhao, and maybe he had really heard of this martial art.
Ling Fu smiled and said unhurriedly: "When I was a child, I heard an elder of the Ling family mention that the Bafang Sword Step was a body martial art that was determined by the ancestors of the Ling family to be impossible to comprehend, so it was sealed in the practice library for many years. β
"I didn't expect you to find it. To be honest, I don't think there should be a second person who can find out except for the elder in the exercise library. Even the only people who know of its existence today are handful. β
"Oh, this martial art is really so wonderful, Xiao'er, how are you comprehended?" Ling Tianhao suddenly became interested. He clearly belonged to one of the few who were out of the box.
Xiao'er can only have a cursory understanding, and has not yet understood deeply. β
How dare Ye Xiao tell the truth. The martial arts that the ancestors of the Ling family thought were impossible to comprehend were completely comprehended by themselves overnight, didn't this clearly slap the ancestor in the face?
"Let's go, let's go in. β
Ling Tianhao just nodded, and didn't ask too much, this answer seemed to be expected. Even the ancestors thought it was impossible, so it should be really impossible.
The three of them followed Ling Tianhao into the house.
At this time, in the Ling family's hall, the other two pillars of the top beam were all present. Ling Diyuan and Ling Renjie were sitting on both sides of the lobby.
However, when Ling Di saw the person behind Ling Tianhao from afar, he couldn't get angry.
