Volume 2 On the Sword Dictionary Chapter 11 The First Battle
Xiao Yichen and Master Kun Jun led the disciples, and after completing the sword sacrifice ceremony, they began the sword test.
In the early days of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, the competition method adopted was the elimination system, but the elimination system took too long;
The current plan for the sword test was proposed by the deceased first Sword Suppressor Pavilion Master, who said: "In one-on-one battles, there are too few variables after all, and only in the melee where life hangs by a thread and dangers are lurking, can the monk stimulate his true fighting talent!"
It was because of that person's words that the subsequent sword tests evolved into today's big melee, and the big melee trials held later also proved the reliability of that person's words.
In the later melee battles, the various tactics that appeared - ambushes, sneak attacks, joint efforts against the enemy, coordinated operations, head-on duels, roundabout outflanking, etc., the big melee tested the survivability and combat consciousness of the monks participating in the battle; compared with the elimination system, the big melee is a changeable battlefield, where the final outcome can never be predicted, the strong may be defeated by the weak together, and the strong duel may also be defeated by the enemy's ambush and sneak attack.
The Chengtian Sword Platform is a space magic weapon, under Chen Tianyuan's spell, the stands above the Chengtian Sword Platform are still the same, but the field below is slowly changing, the plain that was originally a horse and a flat river, gradually turned into a canyon full of mountain peaks and swamps;
A total of 584 foundation building period monks participated in this sword test, and this group of foundation building period monks will be in the canyon of the Chengtian Sword Terrace, and the big melee of the sword test.
Five hundred and eighty-four monks in the foundation building period fought in a canyon within a radius of thirty miles, and the field was not big, but it was not small; the monks' divine consciousness in the foundation building period could not be released a few zhang, so for them, the scope of this field was not small, but the sound of the battle and the fluctuation of the spell could easily attract the attention of the monks, so for them, the scope of this field was not large.
Li Changan, as one of the participants this time, stepped into the canyon below after the sword test began.
The canyon was covered with thick fog, and there was a dead silence.
There were 584 monks in this sword test, and almost every monk in the pavilion had a senior brother or junior brother, and those monks in the same pavilion could join forces to fight the enemy because they knew each other;
Li Changan walked in the dense fog, the visible range of vision was not large, only a little better than reaching out and not seeing his five fingers, his steps were slow, and he did not dare to make a sound.
After walking a distance, Li Changan probably knew that he was in the jungle, there were many trees around him, and he also found a swamp, this environment was easy to be sneak attacked, so Li Changan didn't dare to act rashly, he tightened his mind, jumped on the canopy, and hid his figure in the fog and leaves.
The most taboo thing in a big melee is to attract people's eyes and ears, so it is easy to be attacked by the enemy, Li Changan's current idea is to hide his figure, preserve his spiritual power, and try to hold on to it to the end.
The sun rose, and the dense fog began to disperse, and in this way, Li Changan's plan to hide his figure also failed.
Originally, Li Changan was still holding on to the luck mentality, trying to continue to hide in the leaves of the canopy, until a fiery red snake silently hit Li Changan's back, and he realized that he had been discovered.
Li Changan was shot down from the tree by the fiery red snake, he fell back to the ground against the wind, and the light emitted by the sword gang on his body was dazzling; just before the fiery red snake hit Li Changan, Li Changan had already felt the fluctuation of the spell, but at that time he could no longer dodge, so he could only let the sword gang wrap his body and carry the blow hard.
The person who attacked Li Chang'an walked out from behind the tree, he glanced at Li Chang'an, and asked, "Sword Casting Pavilion?"
Li Changan looked at him left and right and said: "This fellow disciple, come and don't be rude, take me a sword qi!"
The Sword Casting Pavilion monk practiced sword gang and sword qi, and the monk who sneaked up on Li Changan was in full array, and a little cold light that was dozens of zhang long emanated from the tip of Li Changan's sword and shot straight at the monk's shoulder.
Qi Yingyun passed on to Li Changan in the "Kwai Huo Sword Technique" that year, there is a move called "Kwai Water Swinging Sun", this cold mang is this move; the speed of the cold mang is extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, it penetrates the monk's shoulder, the cold cold air solidifies the blood flowing out of the monk, and the cold spiritual power gradually freezes the monk, the monk opens his mouth, and says in disbelief: "You lie to me! You are not... Sword Forge Pavilion... of..."
Li Changan smiled and said to him, "I never said that I was from the Sword Casting Pavilion. ”
With a touch of brilliance, the monk disappeared in front of Li Chang'an's eyes, and in the sword test of this big melee, the monk who was fatally injured or voluntarily abstained from the battle would be removed from the canyon by Chen Tianyuan, and being removed from the canyon would mean that he would be eliminated.
That monk's cultivation was only a little weaker than Li Changan's, and it stands to reason that he should not fail miserably; but he had a preconceived idea that if he could use sword gang and sword qi, he must be a sword casting pavilion monk, but he didn't expect Li Changan to be able to use swordsmanship; the speed of the cold mang was extremely fast, and it was even more imperceptible than the sword qi, and the monk used the method of dealing with the sword qi to deal with this cold mang, which was the reason why this monk was eliminated.
......
Because there is a rule in the Han Dynasty that is not written in the book, but let all the monks abide by it, this regulation stipulates that the monks in the later stage of foundation building must leave the sect to practice penance, and can only return to the sect after reaching the Jindan period;
Xie Xiaokang accepted an apprentice in the early years, named Zuo Que; he left the Nine Heavens Sword Sect after the end of the Battle of Saibei, so his apprentice was in a free-range state; although Xie Xiaokang did not complete his master's way, but in the years he left, Zuo Que's cultivation has not fallen, and Chen Tianyuan has also brought many apprentices for his own junior disciples over the years.
Zuo Que's own talent is very good, coupled with Chen Tianyuan's guidance, his cultivation can already break through the late stage of foundation building, and even reach the Jindan stage, but Zuo Que has suppressed his cultivation for fifteen years for this once-in-a-century sword test, and has not made a breakthrough for a long time.
Before this sword test, the monks of each pavilion of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect all speculated, and finally came to the conclusion that Zuo Que had a chance of winning the first place, as high as ninety percent.
When the fog cleared from the sky, the range of vision widened, and in the middle of this canyon were two towering peaks, two peaks, opposing each other, and the horns of each other.
The summit of the two peaks is undoubtedly the most striking part of this canyon, and because it attracts attention, the summit of the two peaks is also the most dangerous place.
At this time, on the summit of the two peaks, two people stood on each.
The two stood in the wind, calmly, not caring at all about the prying eyes of the rest, without any cover, without any concealment, standing proudly.
Standing on the peak on the right, the left finch is handsome, and under the backdrop of a white dress, he seems to have the momentum of the first person to test the sword this time.
The man on the other side of the mountain where the left finch was located was not very old, tall and thin, with an ordinary appearance, with a pair of dead fish eyes, compared with the left finch, there was a world of difference.
The monks in the stands of the Chengtian Sword Tower, looking at the reflection in the enchantment below, everyone couldn't help but wonder who the dead fish-eyed monk who was the opposite of Zuo Que was!
"Senior brother, do you know that not-so-good-looking monk below?"
"I don't know, but looking at the pattern on the back of his clothes, it should be a monk from the Sky Pavilion. ”
"Is there any powerful person in the Sky Pavilion lately? Why don't I know?"
"I don't know, I guess that person is for grandstanding!"
"Who knew that the jumping clown who jumped out there dared to block Zuo Que's way, and he just killed himself!"
At this time, in addition to the monks in the stands, the monks in the canyon were also paying close attention to this scene, and they didn't understand how the monk who couldn't get on the stage had the courage to challenge Zuo Que!
The dignified Zuo Que seemed to have the demeanor of everyone, and he arched his hand to the monk who blocked his way, and said, "Xuantian Pavilion Zuo Que!"
"Sword Name: Nanhua!"
The monk of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect reported the name of the sword, which meant fighting, and the young monk opposite Zuo Que said lightly: "Lingkong Pavilion Sword Wuji!"
"Sword Name: Not Afraid of Shura!"
After the exit of the four characters of Shura, everyone was shocked!
At this time, those monks who mocked Jian Wuji looked at the black sword in Jian Wuji's hand, speechless;
"Not afraid of Shura!?" Zuo Que asked, "Who are you?"
Jian Wuji's right hand held the tip of the most scabbard, and he didn't open his mouth to answer Zuo Finch's question.
The wind is blowing.
Jian Wuji's thumb gently pushed the hilt of the sword that was not afraid of Shura, and the sword body was unsheathed by an inch.
The coercion of heaven and earth suddenly appeared in the world, and the terrifying coercion enveloped a large part of the territory, and the coercion pressed down the mountain peak where Jian Wuji and Zuo Que were located for dozens of zhang, and the trees on the top of the peak were crushed into powder by gravity, and the boulders were crushed into the slag, and countless mountain rocks were nailed into the ground by the coercion.
Looking at Jian Wuji and Zuo Que on the peak, Li Changan was speechless, the sudden appearance of heaven and earth coercion, he was very familiar with it, the coercion that shrouded Jian Wuji and Zuo Que was very similar to the gravity in the sword tower!
Li Changan climbed the sixteenth floor before leaving the Sword Tower, but even if he climbed the sixteenth floor, he did not catch up with Jian Wuji's footsteps, which can show that Jian Wuji was at least on the seventeenth floor, and even climbed to the highest level of the Sword Tower, the eighteenth floor!
They are all cultivating in the sword tower, what Li Changan didn't expect is that Jian Wuji can actually comprehend gravity in the sword tower!
