Along the way, Qin Yan was a little absent-minded, and the culprit who caused all this, Xia Sheng, was unaware.

It's not because Xia Sheng is naturally slow to respond to feelings, it's just that he doesn't have that leisure at this time.

Although Xia Sheng showed a confident look before, in fact, only he knew best that Qin Yan's next battle was not so easy to fight, and if something accidentally went wrong in a certain link, it would only lead to a loss in the whole game.

Thinking of this, Xia Sheng finally couldn't help but ask, "What kind of swordsmanship is that Mr. Kang good at besides the Water Pattern Sword?"

"Huh?" Qin Yan was excited, and it seemed that she hadn't come back to her senses.

Seeing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but say angrily: "Before the battle, I was most jealous and restless, with your current state, if you get distracted in the battle for a while, I can't help you!"

Qin Yan glared at Xia Sheng angrily, thinking that she wasn't troubled by you.

But it was inconvenient to say this, and in desperation, Qin Yan had no choice but to respond against her will: "Xia Gongzi has learned a lesson, but I don't know how sure Xia Gongzi is about this battle?"

Qin Yan originally just wanted to use this to divert her attention, but she never thought that such a simple question would make Xia Sheng's brows furrow slightly.

"Let me ask you, how much do you know about the rules of cultivation in the world today, especially the advantages and disadvantages of the battle between spiritual cultivation and martial cultivation?"

Regarding Xia Sheng's question, Qin Yan opened her mouth and replied: "If you look at it according to the seven realms of martial arts and spirits, with the rules of strength recognized in the cultivation world today, within the same level, the first four realms, martial cultivation is stronger than spiritual cultivation, and the last three realms, spiritual cultivation is stronger than martial cultivation! It is precisely because of the huge advantage of martial cultivation in the early stage, coupled with the fact that it is difficult to find a good weapon in the spiritual path, so the number of martial cultivators today is more than ten times the number of spiritual cultivators!"

Xia Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, from a certain point of view, this is indeed an iron law in the cultivation world. Now that you are a spirit master, facing a martial artist of the same level, such as Mr. Kang, it stands to reason that you have no chance of winning. ”

Hearing this, Qin Yan's heart couldn't help but sink, but fortunately, Xia Sheng's voice continued.

"But there are exceptions to everything, if the methods and strategies are used properly, it is not that there are no examples of the same level spirit master defeating the martial artist, so the most critical problem now is the water attribute sword technique used by the other party, how to solve the restraint of your fire master spirit!"

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, since it was said to be an iron law in the cultivation world, how could there be an exception? Why had she never heard of such an exception?

But compared to this question, Qin Yan was still more concerned about the second half of Xia Sheng's sentence, and couldn't help but subconsciously ask, "Hasn't Xia Gongzi thought of a way yet?"

Xia Sheng shook his head: "There is a way, but I am worried that you will not be able to do it, so I asked you, what kind of swordsmanship has Mr. Kang learned in addition to the Water Pattern Sword? If you can force him to give up the Water Pattern Sword, or make him lose his sword intent, your victory rate will be greater." ”

Hearing this, Qin Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally said truthfully: "Don't hide it from Xia Gongzi, in fact, Mr. Kang is not my enemy, but an offering I invited from home, the purpose is to let me study the characteristics of the water pattern sword, and find the way to crack the water pattern sword, so that I can get the first opportunity in the next month's clan competition, so even if Mr. Kang really knows other sword techniques, he will not use them when he is against me." ”

Xia Sheng looked slightly stunned, he didn't expect that there was such an inside story in this, so it seems that the second plan will not work.

Thinking of this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, suddenly stopped, and asked Qin Yan word by word: "If that's the case, then in the next battle, I need you to maintain absolute trust in me, no matter what the situation, no matter what the order, you can do it?"

These words were a little abrupt, but he never thought that Qin Yan did not hesitate at all, and nodded solemnly at the moment.

"If Young Master Xia can really help me crack the Water Pattern Sword, this is a matter of course. ”

"Good!"

Xia Sheng seemed very satisfied with Qin Yan's decisiveness, and while he was talking, the two of them had already walked out of White Horse Town and came to a wooden house outside the town.

Xia Sheng remembered that this was supposed to be a wooden warehouse abandoned by the Xiao family, but he never thought that it would now be used as a residence by Mr. Na Kang.

In this regard, Qin Yan couldn't help but explain in a low voice: "The news of Mr. Kang's coming here is naturally known to the town elder, but Mr. Kang has always been low-key and doesn't like to socialize with others, so he simply borrowed this warehouse to live temporarily." ”

Xia Sheng nodded and didn't make any comments on this.

The two walked slowly outside the house, Qin Yan knocked on the door first, but there was no response from inside, just when she was full of doubts, Xia Sheng's voice came from the side without warning.

"Floating steps, corner seats, three zhang!"

Xia Sheng's words were said very suddenly, but Qin Yan understood what he meant at the first time.

So in the next moment, an orange light suddenly lit up under Qin Yan's feet, and she was like floating and free, dancing like a spirit saucer, but in an instant, she had already retreated three feet in the direction of the corner position!

Nothing more, nothing less.

At the same time, a bright orange sword qi stabbed through the crack in the door, and it was worthy of passing by Qin Yan, not only did it not hurt him in the slightest, but even in mid-air, it was carried to the side by the strong wind of the floating step, and gently cut off a piece of wood by the door.

The sword fell silently, but that wasn't the end.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Sheng spoke again: "Qingyan Hidden Fire, Room Accommodation, Retreat!"

This time, Xia Sheng's order had obvious contradictions, since Qin Yan was allowed to attack forward with Qingyan Ghost Fire, why did he tell her to retreat? And even if she wanted to retreat, in which direction to retreat, and how much, Xia Sheng did not mention anything.

Before this, Qin Yan had promised Xia Sheng that he would have absolute trust in him, so even if he was a little confused in his heart, Qin Yan's movements did not stop at all, but according to Xia Sheng's order, he immediately stimulated the spirit of the teacher in his body.

Green Bird!

A vague phantom suddenly emerged from behind Qin Yan, accompanied by a scorching heatwave, and a clear cry pierced the sky.

In less than three breaths, this phantom has turned into a solid form, and the first to unfold is a pair of wings made of pure flames, about a few feet long, and then, between Qin Yan's forehead, two cyan flame symbols appeared, setting off her face with incomparably solemnity.

This is the fusion of the Spirit!

At this moment when Qin Yan's spirit and spirit were united, a powerful coercion slapped on Xia Sheng's body like a tide, if it weren't for the fact that he had already quenched the peak realm of warriors with Biluo Huangquan, this alone would be enough to hurt his muscles and bones!

However, at this time, Qin Yan's entire mind was placed behind that wooden door, and he didn't have time to take care of Xia Sheng at all, but according to the instructions he had given before, he lightly opened his lips.

The next moment, a beam of cyan flame erupted from Qin Yan's mouth, galloped towards the room, and slammed into the northeast corner of the wooden house gate.

"Bang!"

With a violent roar exploding in the air, the doors of the wooden house were shattered, and the embers quickly dyed the whole house into green waves along the door!

With a successful blow, Qin Yan did not forget Xia Sheng's instructions, and his body immediately retreated, and in the blink of an eye, he withdrew to a distance ten zhang away, and at the same time, a rather embarrassed figure, also holding a three-foot Qingfeng, appeared where Qin Yan was standing before.

Qin Yan looked at the old man as if he was facing a great enemy, not daring to relax his vigilance at all, while waiting for Xia Sheng's next command.

Unexpectedly, a rapid cough broke the tense atmosphere in the field.

"Ahem...... Ahem...... You can fight later, let me ...... Ahem......"

Hearing this, Qin Yan was stunned, she stood in place crying and laughing, and seemed to be a little at a loss.

However, Mr. Kang, whose hair and beard were blackened by the flames, took the initiative to disperse the bright orange sword qi outside his body, turned his head, and looked at Xia Sheng with a complicated expression.

"You are the young lady Xia who mentioned to me before, there is a way to crack the water pattern sword?"

Xia Sheng waved his hand: "Ahem...... It's easy to say, ahem...... What's that, you'll be ...... cough cough cough ......"

Seeing this, Mr. Kang didn't feel that the other party was rude at all, but praised it: "Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man!" Although the old man and Xia Gongzi are new acquaintances, the old man really listened to every instruction of Xia Gongzi before, and the old man was deeply impressed by these tricks alone!"

Xia Sheng waved his hand to show humility, and he couldn't stop coughing, but he finally eased up, couldn't help but gasp fiercely, and said angrily: "It seems that when you fight again later, I have to, cough...... Stand farther away. ”

Qin Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and said with some hesitation: "Today, are you still fighting?"

Xia Sheng's eyes widened suddenly: "Fight! Of course you have to fight! Do you think I'm very idle, I come to watch the two of you fight every day? My time is precious, I'm done today, I have other things to do!"

Regarding Xia Sheng's attitude, Mr. Kang didn't care, but said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then next, please ask Xia Gongzi for guidance." ”

Xia Sheng raised his chin slightly, and said: "I can't say what I pointed out, but forgive me for saying more before this, although the swordsmanship you used just now is not a water pattern sword, but a thorn sword, but the sword edge is not sharp, and the stamina is difficult to continue, at first glance, the foundation is not solid, or it is simply a halfway way to change the way of the sword, if the water pattern sword you use later is also at this level, in my opinion, it really does not have much value in actual combat!"

Xia Sheng's words were very rude, but they made Mr. Kang's heart feel like a storm.

He never thought that the other party would see through his own details with only two swords!

This is also too unbelievable!

Is the other party really just a 16-year-old boy?

Looking at the look on Mr. Kang's face as if he had seen a ghost, Qin Yan couldn't help but secretly laugh, it seems that even the well-informed and powerful old worshippers in the family can't help but be bluffed by this guy's words!

As for Xia Sheng, he didn't care about this at all, and simply waved his hand neatly.

"Please!"
