Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sword-to-Sword Duel
After a long time, this round of the competition was over, and in the last competition, the two fought too fiercely, resulting in a very large consumption of spiritual energy for both people, and after this round, the elder also gave everyone an extra stick of incense to rest and recover their spiritual energy.
With the end of this round, there are only six people who continue to participate in the competition, two people from the Qingyun Immortal Sect are shortlisted, in addition to Liu Qi, there is also a female monk, Guanyin Mountain and the Refining Instrument Sect are each left with one person, and the Ethereal Immortal Sect has a man and a woman who have entered the top six, which means that there is a high probability that there will be two monks of the same sect in this round. And since there were only six people in this round, there was naturally not so much of a ring, only to see that the ring in the field slowly sank into the ground, and then three large rings that were several times larger than just now appeared on the ground, but there were also protective light shields around these rings.
The time of the two sticks of incense passed quickly, and it was about to enter a new round of competition, and the lottery mode of this round had not changed, it was still drawn by the elders, and the opponent Liu Qi faced in this round was the male disciple in the Ethereal Immortal Sect.
Liu Qi took a deep breath, nodded to Shangguan Zilin and didn't say anything, and walked into the ring with a sword, the competition has reached this round, in fact, there is no need to say anything, now it is time to show some of his true strength.
Liu Qi walked into the ring and saw that the monk of the Ethereal Immortal Sect opposite was tall and handsome, and at the same time he was holding a cyan long sword.
"Qingyun Immortal Sect, Liu Qi, sword name Xinhua, I hope that my senior brother will give me a lot of advice,"
"Ethereal Immortal Sect, Wang Lei, the sword name is unparalleled, I dare not be instructed, since you and I are both sword users, then we will use the sword to fight the winner," said Liu Qi with a sword and attacked, Liu Qi did not panic, Wang Lei's attack speed was fast enough, and Liu Qi's reaction speed was not slow.
I saw that the swords of the two of them retreated with a touch, and then they collided together at a faster speed, the speed of both of them was extremely fast, and it was impossible to see who had more advantages in speed, the two did not know how many moves they fought each other in a short period of time, and the whole ring could only see the two of them constantly moving and moving, and everyone could only hear the clanging sound of swords colliding with each other.
Suddenly, both of them quickly retreated with their swords, and when they looked closely, they both had scars on their bodies at this time, these scars were not deep, but faintly oozing some blood, which showed that the two did not take advantage of each other in this round of fighting.
Both of them gasped, and rushed towards each other again, and the swords of the two struck together again, at this time, not only the audience in the stands was paying attention to the competition in this ring, but the heads of the two sects also stopped talking at this time, and gathered their eyes on this competition.
There are indeed not a few monks who use swords as weapons in the cultivation realm, and there are many people who use fast swords, but it is really rare for Liu Qi to use swords at such a speed in their realm, but they have more doubts in their hearts at this time for Liu Qi's doubts, although Wang Lei said that the sword is also very fast, but after all, he has been practicing in the Ethereal Immortal Sect for more than a year, and the most important thing is that Wang Lei's cultivation in the sect is the famous wind sword technique in the Ethereal Immortal Sect, this sword technique is not only fast enough but also pays attention to change, the wind is invisible, and using it to name the sword technique is to show the speed and change of this set of swordsmanship。
And at this time, the head of the Ethereal Immortal Sect is even more strange about this Liu Qi, where did this young man come from? She understands the power of this set of Wind Sword Techniques, and he can also see that although Wang Lei did not give full play to the Wind Sword Technique at this time, the power at this time will not be something that a little-known young man can resist, not to mention those methods of change, the speed of this Sword Technique alone is not something that ordinary monks of the same realm can fight against, she brought Wang Lei over at that time, and naturally knew that Wang Lei's Wind Sword Technique had not been practiced to a too advanced realm, but she thought that these were enough, but she didn't expect to fight with a Liu Qi to an inseparable stage。
On the other hand, Liu Qi was a little miserable at this time, he knew that the other party's sword was very fast, but he was also very confident in his speed, and the process of the battle was just as he thought, the other party was indeed fast, but he was enough to deal with it, but as the battle progressed, Liu Qi found that the other party's speed was getting faster and faster, and there were more and more changes in the sword moves, and even Wang Lei's body style had improved a lot at this time, Liu Qi slowly felt a little unbearable, and he knew that he had to use his real strength.
And Wang Lei is more and more confident, he is still very confident in the set of wind sword tricks he has cultivated, and the wind sword trick itself is very similar to the form of the wind, this kind of sword trick is like a breeze when it begins to be cast, although it is fast at this time, but it will not be particularly fast, and as the battle progresses, this sword trick will become faster and faster, and there will be more and more changes, and at this time, the wind sword trick is really like a wind, quickly surrounding the enemy, attacking, and the changes in the tricks are endless。 At this time, Wang Lei did feel the helplessness of Liu Qi on the other side.
It's not good, Wang Lei's face changed abruptly, and the sword that was about to be stabbed out was forcibly withdrawn by him and blocked in front of his chest, and as soon as he finished doing all this, Liu Qi's sword had already slashed at his chest, and at this time, the huge force from the sword also made him take two steps back, he felt that Liu Qi's attack had become stronger, but at this time he knew that he couldn't stop, once he stopped, he would face Liu Qi's stormy attack, so he rushed up and fought with Liu Qi again.
At this moment, his feeling was even stronger, he felt that Liu Qi had not only increased his attack power a lot at this time, but also surpassed himself in speed and change, which made him feel very uncomfortable, his Wind Sword Technique itself was known for its change and speed, but now he was pressed and beaten in speed, and he was not as good as others in terms of change, which made him very depressed, but he also had to bear it at this time, he wanted to rely on the faster and faster attacks and more and more changes of the Wind Sword Technique to defeat Liu Qi in the end.
Liu Qi really used his true strength at this time, he pushed his speed to the extreme at this time, and the changes in his sword moves were more, although he did not use the tricks of sword move fusion at this time, but even the changes in these moves were to the extreme, after all, the nine sets of basic swordsmanship, although it is said to be basic, but it is from the ancient foundation, and the changes in the sword technique will obviously be much higher than the wind sword technique, at least at present, it is much higher.
Liu Qi also knew at this moment that Wang Lei had to be defeated as soon as possible, it was really too much spiritual energy to fight in this kind of battle, and his sword moves changed so frequently, which also produced high requirements for his spiritual sense, which naturally made him consume more spiritual sense.
And the head of the Ethereal Immortal Sect was even more surprised, before Wang Lei pressed Liu Qi to beat, but now the situation has completely changed, it has become Wang Lei being pressed and beaten, and at this time she also saw the extraordinary swordsmanship of Liu Qi, she was very surprised What is the origin of such a young man, how can the swordsmanship used be so extraordinary, she thought about many people in her mind and thought for a long time, but she couldn't imagine that there was such a person as Liu Qi.
Slowly Wang Lei felt more and more unable to parry, as if it was not himself but the other party who was using the wind sword technique now, although his sword technique was also steadily improving, but the degree of improvement was far less fast than Liu Qilai, nor as strong as Liu Qilai, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable, he fought and retreated, and soon he retreated to the edge of the ring, but at this time, the sword shadows around him were not seen at all, but more and more, that is to say, Liu Qi's attack at this time did not show any signs of easing at all, and it was even stronger than just now, at this time he understood that he had lost。
So, Wang Lei did not hesitate, jumped out of the ring directly, and Liu Qi did not chase after him, he put away his sword and stood, he knew that he had won, Wang Lei couldn't bear it before him, to be honest, if he still couldn't win Wang Lei after a while, then when his aura was exhausted, he would lose.
At this time, Wang Lei looked a little depressed, and then he thought that he was defeated by a swordsmanship master, and then not only did he not feel depressed, but even had a motivation to defeat Liu Qi in the future. He bowed deeply to Liu Qi and left the ring without speaking.
Liu Qi looked at Wang Lei's departing figure, and fell into deep thought: This person is not a person who drags mud and water, it seems that this person is still worth handing over, but I don't know how far he will cultivate the sword technique he uses today in the future, he must not be surpassed by this person, it seems that when he officially enters the sect, he will have to practice and cultivate swordsmanship, his own swordsmanship is the foundation after all, and he can't bear it when he encounters a slightly more advanced swordsmanship.
After thinking about it, Liu Qi returned to his position in the stands, and the other two competitions had already ended, the two who won the victory were Guanyin Mountain and the lone seedling of the Refining Sect, which means that no one from the Ethereal Immortal Sect entered the top three this time, and another female disciple of the Qingyun Immortal Sect was defeated by the disciple of Guanyin Mountain, and the monk of the Refining Sect entered the top three by defeating another female disciple of the Ethereal Immortal Sect.
With the decision of the top three, the subsequent competition cannot be drawn like before, so this round was decided to become a wheel battle after the elders discussed with the leaders, which means that all three people must go through two battles, but who will compete first still needs to be decided by their own lots, and the final top three rankings will be carried out in this way.
After Liu Qi returned to his seat, Shangguan Zilin rarely said anything to him, and he also knew that time was tight, so he hurriedly swallowed the pill and began to meditate and recover.
