Chapter 35: Let's Fight
Gu Zhiyang heard the footsteps behind him, with a cold face, he directly used all his strength to get up and leave, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into the alley and couldn't be seen.
But who is Lu Qiming, how could he be easily thrown away?
As soon as Gu Zhiyang thought that Lu Qiming had given up and left, he heard a young man's gentle voice ringing in his ears: "Gu Gongzi, thank you for helping just now." β
Gu Zhiyang was shocked in his heart - he didn't hear a sound at all, and Lu Qiming caught up with him! He frowned and glanced at the young man next to him who was strolling idly with him, and said with a dark face: "I don't need you to thank you!"
Lu Qiming said with a straight face: "Gu Gongzi, I never meant to ridicule you, but I really respect people like you." And, if it were me, I would do the same. β
The young man's gaze was sincere and calm, and people couldn't help but believe his words. Gu Zhiyang's expression slowed slightly, he knew that Lu Qiming didn't have to do this, let alone lie about it. But he subconsciously didn't want to have anything to do with these children of the family, so he said bluntly: "Didn't you save me just now, and it was even." What else?"
Lu Qiming pondered for a moment and smiled slightly: "Let's fight." β
Gu Zhiyang was stunned, thinking that he had misheard, and said, "What did you say?"
"Since you happened to meet me so much, don't you want to try it with me?" Lu Qiming said seriously. He looked at Gu Zhiyang's brighter and brighter gaze, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly. He had already seen that Gu Zhiyang was a complete martial arts idiot, and even when he was holding chopsticks in the tavern, he seemed to be practicing swords.
"Is this true?!" A rare touch of fanaticism rose on Gu Zhiyang's indifferent face-yes, this is Lu Qiming! Although he has no resources or background, he believes that his martial arts talent is not weaker than anyone else's. Now that the first day of Zhongzhou is in front of him, if he misses the opportunity to fight him, he will definitely regret it!
Lu Qiming noticed that his right hand was eagerly loosening, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly. He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You can find the place!"
Gu Zhiyang's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he rushed forward, and his speed was three points faster than when he hid Lu Qiming before!
Lu Qiming shook his head and smiled, and followed closely with his movements.
The two of them came to a long-dilapidated compound after a while, with an open field and no one around, which was the most suitable for competition.
Lu Qiming took a look around casually, and saw that the stone slabs on the ground were full of gravure marks, old and new, all of which were traces left by swords, and couldn't help but smile - it seemed that Gu Zhiyang was already familiar with the matter of martial arts. However, Lu Qiming roughly knew some of his temperament, and he didn't break it.
Lu Qiming solemnly drew his knife, looked at Gu Zhiyang, and said seriously: "How about I use this knife to fight you?"
"Nian Ci Dao!" Gu Zhiyang's eyes froze, his gaze met the young man's smiling eyes like electricity, and he suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay!" This was the first time he had a real smile on his face -- he was afraid that Lu Qiming would not use his real weapon, and that such an action would make him feel despised;
Lu Qiming turned his wrist, the tip of the knife turned downward, bowed slightly and hugged his fist and made a sparring salute, and said with a smile: "Please!" His internal force worked, and he maintained his cultivation to the strength of the third order of the martial artist, which was just one order lower than Gu Zhiyang.
The corners of Gu Zhiyang's mouth were also slightly hooked, he knew that although Lu Qiming did not despise him, he was unwilling to take advantage of his cultivation anymore. Knowing this, he not only had a good impression of Lu Qiming.
Although he was confident, he also knew that Lu Qiming's realm was much higher than him, so he was not hypocritical. solemnly returned the salute, Gu Zhiyang said directly: "Then I'll go first!" After finishing speaking, he turned his wrist and picked it up, and the heavy sword stabbed upwards obliquely, the heavy sword was as light as nothing in his hand, but the sword weight was more than a thousand catties!
"It's good!" Lu Qiming couldn't help blurting out praise, adding a few more points of seriousness in his eyes. The Nian Ci knife in his hand did not give in, pointing directly at the most timid point of the strength on the heavy sword!
Gu Zhi raised his eyebrows, and the heavy sword instantly changed direction, changing "stab" to "intercept", turning into a black shadow, just grazing the blade of Nianci's knife, but it was a few points closer than before!
The speed of the heavy sword is extremely fast, and ordinary people can't see the stagnation of qi when changing direction, and how can Lu Qiming be an ordinary person? He smiled slightly, and the Nian Ci knife was lightly wound, and the second hair stabbed at the body of the heavy sword three inches and seven minutes away from the handle!
Gu Zhiyang has fought countless battles since he was a child, and he predicted the direction of Nian Ci's knife by looking at his wrist, and retreated almost at the same time, using his arm to avoid this break.
It was too late, and the two of them had passed more than a dozen moves in an instant, but the swords did not touch once! They glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Gu Zhiyang couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart. The two of you go back and forth, but they both use basic moves that don't have any fancy fancy. He initially thought that Lu Qiming deliberately wanted to let because of his background, but slowly realized that this was not the case, but - Lu Qiming and his philosophy are the same - simple and effective!
Lu Qiming's eyes also showed a little more appreciation. The low-level martial arts that circulate at will on the market emphasize "moves" but not "meaning", and it is useless to practice them, while the basic moves are the true essence of countless years of great waves and sands, and they are the foundation of all martial arts. Gu Zhiyang's choice is undoubtedly correct.
"Be careful. Lu Qiming reminded loudly. The internal force of the three realms of the martial artist operated to the extreme in his body, and as soon as his body was in shape, he conjured up a phantom that was difficult to distinguish between true and false, attacking Gu Zhiyang at the same time, one left and one right!
Gu Zhiyang's face was solemn - with his eyesight, he couldn't tell Lu Qiming's true body at all! Since this was the case, he would block it on both sides!
I saw that the dark heavy sword instantly slashed to the left and right four times at an incredible speed, and the force and angle of each slash were accurate to the extreme, and because of the extremely fast speed, the sound of the four sword collisions almost completely overlapped into one sound!
What a quick reaction! Lu Qiming admired in his heart. Yun Cun moved again, but the sword in his hand did not change in the slightest - how could Yun Cun step be as simple as a phantom? The phantom was just an auxiliary!
In Gu Zhiyang's eyes, the two Lu Qiming in front of him all disappeared without warning, and at the same time, a strong wind slashed behind him! He was shocked - such a fast speed, but it did not affect the sword momentum at all, how could this be possible?
The distance between the two was close to the extreme, and in the blink of an eye, the tip of Lu Qiming's knife was close to the front - Lu Qiming was concentrating, ready to retract his strength at any time.
However, the next moment, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise - he saw Gu Zhiyang as if he had eyes behind his back, and the heavy sword in his hand accurately hit the blade at the last moment!
Hearing only a piercing friction sound, Gu Zhiyang's face turned slightly pale, and he took more than a dozen steps back, and his sword-holding arm ached-you must know that Lu Qiming only used the cultivation of the three realms of martial arts, and he didn't use any martial arts!
However, Gu Zhiyang did not feel the slightest discouragement, but his eyes were brighter, as if there were two flames burning. He raised his voice and said, "Come again!" The soreness in his arm did not affect him in the slightest, and the heavy sword turned one by one, and roared towards Lu Qiming again!
Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows slightly--it's different! Although it doesn't look different from the basic moves, in fact, there is a hidden variant in the offensive, and there is even a hint of determination--this is already Gu Zhiyang's own sword move! He praised from the bottom of his heart: "Amazing!" But he didn't let it go at all, Nian Ci stabbed with a knife, and accurately forced Gu Zhiyang to change his moves.
If there is a "change", there will be a flaw - Lu Qiming's eyes froze, and the Nianci knife turned slightly, drawing an arc and stabbing at the sword body.
This move seemed completely unreasonable, but Gu Zhiyang's face changed slightly, and he had no choice but to withdraw the heavy sword with his backhand, and took two steps back in a row - Lu Qiming's move not only broke his sword move, but also forced his entire defense to be flawed.
"Come and don't be rude. You have to be careful!" Lu Qiming smiled slightly, and then his expression was solemn, and the Nian Ci knife stabbed straight at Gu Zhiyang's empty door.
This knife was clearly plain and unremarkable, but Gu Zhiyang's heart trembled suddenly, giving birth to a mysterious and mysterious sense, and he saw a peerless sword that pierced all obstacles! His heart was shocked, and countless insights rose in his mind in an instant.
However, he didn't have time to comprehend, an omen of extreme danger made his hair stand on end all over his body - he let out a loud shout, and put the heavy sword in front of his chest as fast as he could in his life - although it seemed to him that the Nian Ci Sword was still far away, the perception of danger brought by countless battles made him choose to do his best to block it!
At the last moment, the Nian Ci Dao was still two meters away, but at this moment, it suddenly appeared in front of him, as if the distance of two meters did not exist at all! Gu Zhiyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately he blocked it. And the next moment, his eyes widened in horrorβ
In Gu Zhiyang's induction, the Nian Ci Knife and the heavy sword obviously never touched, but his heavy sword slid away uncontrollably - the Nian Ci Knife stabbed at him without the slightest hindrance!
The instinct accumulated from years of fighting made Gu Zhiyang's body retreat quickly before his brain could react, his reaction was already extremely fast, but it was not as fast as this knife - a flower in front of his eyes, cold sweat slowly dripping down - the tip of Nian Ci's knife had stopped in front of his throat!
Lu Qiming smiled slightly, and withdrew the Nianci knife with his backhand.
Gu Zhiyang's expression was a little dazed, and he asked, "What is this trick?"
"No living sword. Lu Qiming replied softly. Although it is simplified according to the strength of the martial artist, it does contain the true lifeless sword intent.
"Lifeless Sword ......" Gu Zhiyang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he muttered: "Sure enough, it's a sword......, it's really a sword!"
Lu Qiming was a little surprised-the lifeless sword that had been simplified by him had restrained sword intent, and it was actually extremely difficult to distinguish. However, Gu Zhiyang can clearly appreciate the sword intent and even have some understanding, he is really worthy of being a natural swordsman. Now he can still do this, and when he enters the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Academy, with resources and teachers, he will definitely be able to soar to the sky!
Gu Zhiyang suddenly looked solemn and solemnly saluted Lu Qiming.
Lu Qiming turned sideways and said with a smile: "We're just jockey, it's your own ability that you can comprehend, and it has nothing to do with me." β
Gu Zhiyang still stubbornly finished his salute and said, "It's also my business that I am grateful to you, and it has nothing to do with you." β
With that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
