Chapter 23: Swordsmanship
Hehe, in this qi realm full of qi people, there are really few people who will pay attention to this, even if there are some qi people who use weapons are swords, they only know some thick line moves, and sword-related qi skills, as for swordsmanship, to be honest, Li Yun really hasn't seen a few so far, although he has also encountered a few people who use weapons, but those people are just holding weapons as a medium to exert their qi. If you have to say that you are really proficient in weapons, or proficient in swordsmanship, Li Yun believes that the Daoist in the clouds must be among them, not to mention that the title of Sword God and the founder of the Sword Gate are enough.
Therefore, when he saw Liu Zhiqiang coming up with a seven-foot blue long sword again, Li Yun wanted to try to see if this person was also the same as others, just holding the long sword as a tool to display his qi skills.
"Swordsmanship? Hehe, I don't know how much this kid learned when he was in the Sword Gate?" On the rostrum, hearing Li Yun talk about swordsmanship, Yunzhong Daoist also said with a smile.
"Oh, does that guy Li Yun know how to do swordsmanship?" said the dean of the candle flame next to him in surprise.
"I don't know, it should be a little bit......" Yunzhong Daoist listened and said.
"Hehe, will you be a little bit?Then you have to take a good look at it now, I can't see your sword god's swordsmanship, and I can see Li Yun's kid playing with swords......" Dean Candle Flame smiled.
"Hehe, that's what I said, let's keep reading......" Yunzhong Daoist said.
"It's been a long time since I've used swordsmanship, hehe, I hope you don't disappoint me. Swordsmanship, ten thousand snakes flying. On the test bench, Li Yun said coldly. After speaking, on the long sword in Li Yun's hand, a stream of sword intent increased in vain, like a small snake, hissing towards Liu Zhiqiang......
Similarly, feeling this extremely strong sword intent, Liu Zhiqiang's face also became solemn, raised the blue long sword in his hand, waved it lightly, and roared: "The shadow is extreme, the sword intent is flying." ”
Rumble...... Suddenly, the blue sword in Liu Zhiqiang's hand trembled, and a sword intent that was no worse than the sword intent issued by Li Yun suddenly came out, if the sword intent emitted by Li Yun's long sword was ten thousand snakes flying, then the sword intent emitted by Liu Zhiqiang at this time was a mighty dragon, although it was only a sword intent, but it was no worse than the ten thousand sword intent issued by Li Yun.
"Hehe, it really didn't disappoint me, but I don't know if it's a strong outsider?" When Liu Zhiqiang's extremely huge sword intent appeared, Li Yun's eyes also became fanatical, and then his heart moved, and ten thousand snake-like sword intent flew frantically towards Liu Zhiqiang's dragon-like sword intent......
"Hmph...... The snake can be compared to the dragon, and it is beyond ...... self-control" Not far away, Liu Zhiqiang saw it and sneered. Immediately, the blue sword in his hand trembled again, and suddenly, everyone could clearly see that a blue dragon slowly appeared in the center of the test table.
Roar...... A dragon groan came from the mouth of the blue dragon. Suddenly, Li Yun clearly felt that his sword intent was a little cringe.
"Is the sword intent formed? Hehe, it's still a dragon, but if you want to win me, these alone are not enough. Although he felt the situation of his sword intent, Li Yun was not the one who gave up easily. Immediately, he showed his snow-white teeth and smiled. As soon as the seven-foot long sword in his hand changed, all of a sudden, the originally arrogant ten thousand snake-like sword intent disappeared in an instant. Not yet to be asked. He was shocked to see Li Yun's figure move, and then one, two, three, and four Li Yun appeared around Liu Zhiqiang with a seven-foot long sword.
"This?Nima?clone?" Suddenly, some of the students watching below scolded.
"Hehe, sword intent clone, not bad. It seems that this kid didn't stay in the Sword Gate for ......" Compared with the stunned students below, the Daoist in the cloud said with great relief.
"Hehe, it's the same as your move, but because of your strength, maybe not as domineering as you did. At this time, the dean of the candle flame sitting next to him also sighed. He was no stranger to the methods used by Li Yun, he had seen it once in the body of the Daoist in the clouds, but compared with the Daoist in the clouds, Li Yun's heat and strength were much worse.
"Well, though, it's good to be able to do that. However, the one called Liu Zhiqiang is not simple, he can actually achieve the condensation of sword intent, hehe, this is rare in the qi world, I am afraid that if Li Yun wants to win, this move alone is not enough. The Daoist in the clouds said.
"Oh, is it? I can't compare to you in terms of swordsmanship, you actually say that, then I have to take a good look, this Liu Zhiqiang is a talent, see if there is a chance to be absorbed by the department in the inner courtyard." Dean Candleflame said.
"En......" Yunzhong Daoren also nodded in agreement, and then the two of them gathered their eyes on the test table again.
At this time, the competition platform looked very spectacular, in the center of the competition platform, Liu Zhiqiang stood coldly with a blue sword in his hand, and a blue dragon hovered in front of him, and a piercing sword intent slowly emanated from it. Around Liu Zhiqiang, the four Li Yun held the seven-foot white sword and looked at Liu Zhiqiang with a slight smile. A strange and boiling picture freezes there.
"Hmph, only one is true, the other three are fake, do you think this is useful?"
"Yes, whether it works or not, you'll find out next...... Hey. The four Li Yun laughed in unison.
Immediately, when the last word fell, the faces of the four Li Yun were all straight, and the four pairs of eyes were bright and clear.
Sneer...... In just an instant, the four long swords flew up at the same time, swinging the swords one by one, and the moves were different. However, as the long swords in the hands of the four Li Yun waved, four silver-white phantoms around the blue dragon also slowly appeared, and when the four phantoms were displayed, a burst of inhalation in the martial arts arena couldn't help but appear.
The four silver-white phantoms, all of which looked exactly the same, had a head like a horse, a horn on the head and flesh, a whole body covered with scale armor, and a musk deer body and tail like a dragon's tail.
"Kirin! It's actually a Kirin. On the rostrum, the Daoist in the cloud also said in surprise.
"Qilin, what is it?" Under the test table, when he heard the word Qilin being said by someone around him, Huo'er couldn't help but ask.
Next to it, the soul of thunder listened, smiled and said: "The unicorn is a kind of alien beast in ancient times, with thunder, electricity, fog, and clouds as its body, in ancient times, it was not inferior to the dragon clan and other powerful monster creatures, but unfortunately for some reason there was no trace of the unicorn later, I didn't expect Li Yun's sword intent to form a unicorn, hehe, in ancient times, the unicorn clan was one of the few races that were not afraid of the dragon clan......
"I see, no wonder this unicorn looks so majestic, no worse than that blue dragon......" Huo'er suddenly realized when he heard this.
Hearing this, Thunder Soul smiled and didn't say anything, but turned his head to continue to focus on the game.
On the test table, when the four unicorns appeared, Liu Zhiqiang felt that the four breaths were not inferior to his own blue dragon, but he didn't expect it to be a unicorn, and Liu Zhiqiang didn't know much about the unicorn, but there was one thing, the unicorn was not worse than the dragon clan in ancient times. Therefore, looking at the four unicorns, Liu Zhiqiang gritted his teeth and said, "What about the unicorn......s?
Suddenly, in front of Liu Zhiqiang, the blue dragon roared, and its huge tail flung fiercely towards the nearest unicorn......
"Hehe, you didn't use the sword intent like that. Seeing this, the four Li Yun shook their heads and said. After speaking, the long swords in the hands of the four Li Yun swung again, and suddenly the four unicorns disappeared into the air, replaced by an indiscernible sword intent, a sword intent in the true sense. In just an instant, Liu Zhiqiang was shocked to see the blue dragon that had just said that it was majestic, and it shattered and disappeared into the air in a moment, and at the same time as the blue dragon disappeared, cold sweat suddenly flowed out on Liu Zhiqiang's forehead.
Under Liu Zhiqiang's perception, an extremely strong sword intent hovered around him, and an inexplicable sense of oppression made him breathless. This is the sword intent, an extremely strong momentum, something that can oppress people and make them unable to stand up.
No matter how strong your strength is, as long as the sword intent is strong enough, the moment he releases it, you have no room for resistance, which is why some swordsmen are not particularly high in cultivation, but they can kill people beyond the ranks, and it is also the reason why the qi people in the qi realm are unwilling to provoke people who can use swords, of course, the people who can use swords here are not just people who can swing their swords twice.
"Pour it down for me!" Seeing Liu Zhiqiang, who was still struggling, Li Yun snorted coldly. Suddenly, the sword intent that was still hovering around Liu Zhiqiang, with Li Yun's drink, suddenly surged towards Liu Zhiqiang's body like a mountain and a sea......
In an instant, Liu Zhiqiang felt a tightness in his chest, his legs were unconsciously weak, and he almost knelt down, but although he did not kneel, Liu Zhiqiang also struggled to support the table of the test bench with both hands. Obviously, Liu Zhiqiang no longer has any ability to resist, as long as Li Yun is willing, now he only needs a sword, and Liu Zhiqiang will be here forever.
"I lost...... hands on the table with difficulty, Liu Zhiqiang looked at Li Yun, his face changed, and finally said with a wry smile. And when this sentence was said, all of a sudden, Liu Zhiqiang felt that all the pressure was gone, and with a bang, he sat on the ground paralyzed, and the wet and cool feeling on his back made him laugh, slowly stood up, looked at Li Yun and said: "You are the one who really understands swords, I lost ......" After speaking, Liu Zhiqiang dragged his tired body out of the test table. Suddenly, under the test table, a thunderous applause came.
Today, the students of Donghua College have seen a different kind of competition, and I believe that even for a long time to come, they may not be able to see this kind of swordsmanship competition again.
"Ahem, everyone, be quiet. At this time, Dean Candle also stood up and said.
Hearing Dean Candlelight's words, the students who were boiling under the test table also quieted down.
Looking at the Yunzhong Daoist next to him, Dean Candle also smiled helplessly, and then said: "The result of this game, I believe everyone is already very clear in their hearts, Li Yunsheng." ”
Roar...... Suddenly, the scene that had just quieted down, with the announcement of the dean of the candlelight, there was another roar in an instant. Today, the students of Donghua Academy really got to know Li Yun, a new student, not only in terms of qi, but also in the aspect of swordsmanship, which people no longer remember, he also has a lot of attainments. It can be said that from today onwards, no one will regard Li Yun as a new student, because Li Yun used his strength today to tell everyone that he has the strength to sit in the twelfth position on the East List.
"Well, according to the rules of the competition, each player can only be challenged twice in a row at most, so the next two matches at least cannot be challenged by other players. Therefore, other contestants are welcome to continue the challenge. Dean Candleflame said.
Indeed, in order to ensure that a certain player is not targeted, there is a rule in the inner court qualifiers that a person can only be challenged twice in a row at most, and if he continues to challenge that person, he must wait for two matches.
Therefore, after the words of the dean of the candle flame fell, Li Yun also breathed a sigh of relief, although he said that he was not afraid even if he continued to fight a few more games, but thinking of the words of the soul of thunder, Li Yun also walked down from the competition table very obediently, ran to Huo'er's side, and continued to watch the game while resting.
Similarly, after Dean Candlelight's words fell, the other contestants had to turn not only to a few other people, that is, the thirteenth Shi Ao, the fourteenth Murphy, and the fifteenth Mo Qian. For Li Yun, after these two games, the vast majority of players no longer have the idea of using Li Yun as a stepping stone for them to win the inner court qualifiers, because compared with the first two challengers, most of the contestants are also half a catty, or even worse, and the last game about swordsmanship has made some of the contestants have a certain shadow in their hearts. No way, that sense of oppression is not pleasant for anyone.
Therefore, as Dean Candlelight's words fell, the next few challengers without exception targeted Mo Gan, who was in the fifteenth place.
Mo Qian, who ranked fifteenth on the East List, was a sixth-level qi spirit and an earth-based qi person, and had absolute defense. It is said that he once carried the full force of the Qi King and did not die, so the contestants compared the last three, and finally chose Mo Qian, who did not have much attack power.
However, the idea is realistic, the reality is cruel, when the first contestant was blown away, the other contestants did not give up, but when the second contestant was blown away again, people carefully looked at this fifteenth guy.
With thick eyebrows and big eyes, a full beard, it gives an extremely rough image, coupled with its tall figure and deep voice, as well as its attributes. It really feels like a stone. One word: hard. Two words: so hard. Three words: extra hard.
Therefore, after the two failed in the challenge, many people gave up on the fifteenth-place Mo Gan.
"Hehe, the top fifteen on the East List are really not simple, that Mo Qian, I remember the last time I challenged him, but it took me a lot of effort to get him, that turtle shell is really not ordinarily hard. Under the stage, Li Yun sighed.
"Hehe, according to what you say, aren't the fifteen places in the Inner Court Qualifiers already booked?"
"Hehe, it's not that simple, the real dark horse hasn't appeared yet, I don't dare to say anything else, the three behind me are definitely going to be brushed down. Li Yun shook his head and said.
"Oh, is it? Someone else has gone up. Thunder Soul listened and smiled. Immediately, with a sharp eye, I saw another person coming to the test table.
Li Yun was also stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes turned, and when he saw the figure on the test table, he couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face, because it was none other than Tan Pengcheng who was valued by an elder and disappeared for a while.
As if sensing Li Yun's gaze, Tan Pengcheng on the stage smiled at Li Yun slightly, and then a faint voice echoed throughout the martial arts arena: "Contestant, Tan Pengcheng, challenge Murphy, the fourteenth place in the East List." ”
