Chapter Forty-Eight: Dividing the Superior and the Inferior, but also Determining Life and Death!
On the sword, it is naturally a competition, but how to compare, there are many sayings: do not use internal force to simply compete moves, do not use moves to simply compete with internal force, point to point to simple competition, go all out and never give up regardless of high and low...... Different ways of fighting, the results of victory and defeat are often different.
Internal force, moves, and state, all three affect the outcome of the victory, and the five uniques have their own strengths and weaknesses, but the comprehensive strength is not much different.
If you compare a single item, maybe the winner is still Wang Chongyang, but the ranking of the other four peers may not be accurate. At that time, the winner will feel that the victory is not martial, and the defeat will also be unconvinced, and the competition will be completely meaningless.
"The competition is superior, and the natural means are exhausted." Ouyang Feng said.
Hearing this, Li He immediately understood, why Qiu Qianren obviously came to Huashan, but did not participate in the first sword discussion: he was behind the line of martial arts, if he really participated in the sword discussion, it would be life-threatening to fight, how could he participate if he was not fully sure?
In fact, at this time, there are not only five unique people who come to Huashan.
In addition to the Five Uniques and Li He, the Fighting Wine Monk, Xuzhu, and Dugu Seeking Defeat, there are more than a dozen unknown middle-aged martial artists who are in the world's first-class martial arts. They are worse than the five, and even worse than Qiu Qianren, so after discussing the sword, they did not break into any fame.
No one knows whether they retired to the rivers and lakes after the defeat, or whether they died in Huashan at all.
You must know that the top of Huashan Mountain is known for its dangers, and if one is accidentally beaten down, no matter how high his martial arts are, he will be crushed.
"But there are few masters in the world, if we lose some damage in the competition, won't we be very lonely for the rest of our lives?" Hong Qigong said.
This sentence attracted Dugu's response to seeking defeat, and he nodded very approvingly, and said: "That's right, when you really have no opponents, you will find that it is really good for someone to be able to compete with themselves in martial arts." ”
Hearing this, Wang Chongyang, Xuzhu, and Doujiu Monk all nodded.
Ouyang Feng showed a different color and said, "What, this brother, you seem to be able to understand that loneliness?" ”
"Sort of!" Dugu sought defeat and said: "For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies and defeated the heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as a friend." In life, I can't get an opponent, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely. ”
As soon as these words came out, whether it was Ouyang Feng, Huang Yaoshi and others, they all felt an invincible momentum rushing towards them.
Even, even the fighting monk Duan Yu was stunned: "There is such a person in the world? ”
"This person, like you and me, is all by chance, with the internal strength that ordinary people can't cultivate in several lifetimes, coupled with the intensive study of swordsmanship, his strength is already extraordinary." Xu Zhu said with some regret: "It's a pity, you and I are already more than one hundred and twenty years old, and if you fight someone with similar strength, once your internal strength is exhausted, you will die of merit, and you will have no chance to fight him." ”
A martial artist is not an immortal cultivator after all, although the older he gets, the more profound his skills are, but he can't escape the spell of "fist is afraid of being young and strong".
If the sweeping monk fights with Qiao Feng to the death, he must die in the end. Zhang Sanfeng was just attacked by a second-rate master, and he almost lost his combat effectiveness, which was also caused by his age and regression in all aspects of his body.
The current Xuzhu is the same as Duan Yu, at the age of more than one hundred and twentie, he can live with the support of his skills, how can he compete with others?
Maybe they can clean up Ouyang Feng and them, but for characters of the level of Shangwang Chongyang and Dugu seeking defeat, it is really not good to disobey the old!
"Martial arts is a killing technique, if the competition is up to the point, it will not be able to determine the real level, and this Huashan sword debate will lose its meaning." Li He shook his head and said: "Therefore, in the eyes of Poor Dao, the way to compete should be 'both superior and deciding life and death', so that the winner is worthy of the name of the world's first!" ”
Hearing this, Dugu was defeated, Xuzhu and others were stunned, and Wang Chongyang's expression was also stunned.
"What the Taoist chief said is very true, I believe that you all want to compare the high and low, rather than pursue the point, right?" Huang Yaoshi said, looked at Hong Qigong, and said: "As for the loneliness you are worried about for the rest of your life, Brother Hong, that is something that needs to be considered in the future 'No. 1 in the world', if you can't get the No. 1, loneliness has nothing to do with us." And if you get the first, compared with the first place in the world, what is the loneliness? ”
He is a man of evil paths, and he does not stick to the point, but wants to decide the real number one in the world.
"That's right, the competition should be enjoyable, if you can't let go of your hands, then what is the competition?" Ouyang Feng said.
Unlike him, who was later obsessed with the "Nine Yin True Scripture", Ouyang Feng at this time, because he had not been defeated, did not know what level he was at among the crowds, and even Dugu, who had been "crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than 30 years", did not pay attention to it, and just wanted to compete for the first place in the world.
The others are similar.
Before the fight, no one knew what their strength was, and they all thought that they had the hope of competing for the first place in the world.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the first Huashan Sword Discussion of the Five Absolute Swords is actually not for the "Nine Yin True Scripture", whether it is Ouyang Feng or Huang Laoxi, they are more concerned about the title of "No. 1 in the world".
As for the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggars, Dali's own martial arts are no worse than the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and Hong Qigong has "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending", and he does not need other martial arts.
It is not so much that the five peerless Huashan swords are to compete for the "Nine Yin True Scripture", but rather that the five of them are Huashan on the sword and have achieved the "Nine Yin True Scripture" - if there is no Five Absolute Discussion Sword, who knows what the "Nine Yin True Scripture" is?
In addition, the reason why Huang Yaoshi and Ouyang Feng are so obsessed with the "Nine Yin True Scripture" in the original book is not because of the true scripture itself.
It's because Wang Chongyang, who owns it, is the first in the world, and both of them think that Wang Chongyang is so powerful because he has practiced the "Nine Yin True Scripture". In fact, in the pure "Condor Shooting" world, Wang Chongyang did not practice at all, and the peerless learning he relied on to become famous was the Taoist "Innate Gong".
And in this world, he has also broken away from the shackles of the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and majored in his own "Innate Gong".
"However, if we decide life and death, it will be very detrimental to our plans." Wang Chongyang looked at Li He and said.
"It doesn't matter." Li He smiled and signaled Wang Chongyang not to worry, and then turned his head to the crowd: "Poor Dao only asks everyone, do you believe that I can preside over this sword discussion fairly?" ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Feng was the first to say "letter".
"The Taoist is a fairy figure, natural and fair, I Hong Qi is convinced." Hong Qigong also said.
Then, Huang Yaoshi also said: "Believe." It's just that if you don't believe in the Taoist, what does it have to do with how we fight? ”
"Absolutely." Li He smiled and said: "If you believe in the poor way, then the poor road can use the 'illusion' and the 'imaginary space' to simulate a battlefield for you, so that you can compete to your heart's content, and decide life and death in the illusion, but the body will not be damaged in the slightest!" ”
