Chapter 12: The Sword and the Sword

"I really can't imagine that this little girl who looks soft and weak can be so violent."

"If I'm not mistaken, she should be a Third Realm cultivator with supernatural powers. At such a young age, he has already entered the third realm, and there are really many talents in Yishui County! ”

"Jia Xiuguang, the proud student of Longmen Academy's Fu Jiaoxi, in the eyes of this young girl, is actually only at the 'entry-level' rune level...... When Fu Jiaoxi heard her words, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him. ”

"It's not her to blame. I heard that Master Gu, who saved Qingzhou Mansion, had reached the pinnacle of Fu Seal Technique. Miss Shi and Master Gu get along day and night in the same yamen, and they are used to seeing the exquisite talismans drawn by Lord Gu on weekdays, so they naturally look down on Jia Xiuguang's ordinary talismans. ”

"Alas, I'm getting more and more curious about that Lord Gu from Qingzhou Mansion now. I don't know if I will be lucky enough to see him in real terms today. ”

“……”

There was a lot of talk on the edge of Luoshui.

Today's competition in the ring is a feast for their eyes.

Next, the opponent in front of Shi Xiaohan was a man wearing a cloth shirt and a sword at his waist.

Although he is small and mediocre in appearance.

But when he stood on the high platform, he showed a fierce temperament, and the whole person looked like an unsheathed sword.

I saw this man arch his hand towards Shi Xiaohan and said, "In the Lower Sword Pavilion Qi Yuan Mountain." When I came to Luojing City today, I finally met an opponent worthy of my sword. Ask the girl for advice. ”

Hearing the word "Sword Pavilion", everyone watching the battle raised their spirits.

They know that the main event is coming today.

The Sword Pavilion, located between the mountains and mountains of Shudi, is one of the three major sects of the Great Qi Dynasty. Its pavilion master, Xu Man, is a living saint and the only woman among the five saints of Daqi.

According to the ancestral teachings, the Sword Pavilion has always been expensive to accept apprentices.

Moreover, the disciples of the Sword Pavilion will only be allowed to go down the mountain if they enter the hall in swordsmanship.

Because of this, every Sword Pavilion disciple who walks the world is not to be underestimated.

Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Shangguan Jin took a step forward, leaning on the railing, and also looked intently at the high platform in the water.

Shi Xiaohan's eyes also became alert.

Because she could feel that the challenger in front of her was also a monk of the third realm.

And the awe-inspiring aura of the sword in his sheath gave her a sense of danger.

"Please!" She held her head high, her chest puffing up only slightly.

Today, she is determined to stay up late into the night and be the ultimate winner.

So even if she encounters a strong enemy, she must not show her cowardice.

"Qi Yuanshan is the son of Sword Pavilion Elder Qi Jing," at this time, Qi Yan said lightly in Gu Xu's ear, "The Sword Pavilion's ancestral top-grade martial arts 'Pingtian Sword Technique', few people in the younger generation can learn it. Except for Su Xiao, only this Qi Yuanshan can completely use its first three forms.

"Lord Gu, you should know that most of the people in the Sword Pavilion are crazy people who are obsessed with swords.

"Miss Shi's battle, I'm afraid it won't be too easy."

The gongs and drums sounded, and the competition began.

Before everyone could react, Qi Yuanshan drew his sword from the sheath and shot at lightning speed.

His sword was an iron sword with a narrow body and a deep color.

It is as thin as a cicada's wings, shimmering with a cold glow.

At the moment of unsheathing, it made a clear sound like a dragon's groan, which resounded over Luoshui and echoed in everyone's ears.

"The first form of the "Pingtian Sword Technique", 'Dragon Howl'."

Gu Xu and Qi Yan recognized the moves he was using at the same time.

This trick looks unpretentious, without brilliant light and shadow.

But Gu Xu was far away, but he could clearly feel the majestic sword intent wrapped on the blade.

Like a hidden dragon out of the hole, the sea of clouds is churning.

His expression became extraordinarily solemn.

"The people in the Sword Pavilion are really all crazy people who only have swords in their hearts," Shangguan Jian next to him couldn't help but comment, "In the face of a girl like Sister Xiaohan, she didn't pity the jade at all, and she actually used such a strong killing move as soon as she came up." ”

Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly.

Around her, a translucent spherical barrier instantly appeared—like bubbles in water, glowing with brilliant brilliance, enveloping her tightly.

On the surface of this spherical barrier, you can faintly see intricate gluttonous patterns.

"Gluttonous Seal", defensive form.

Qi Yuanshan's sword was as swift as thunder and lightning, and it slammed into this spherical barrier.

The powerful impact caused the two of them to take half a step back in unison.

A look of surprise appeared on Qi Yuanshan's face.

He didn't expect that his sword would be blocked by the other party unscathed.

Shi Xiaohan's stomach also "growled" twice.

She suddenly regretted that she hadn't brought some food with her to the ring.

"I thought that Miss Shi's supernatural powers could only increase the power of moves, but I didn't expect it to be both offensive and defensive, and even Qi Yuanshan's fierce blow could be blocked," Seeing such a scene, Qi Yan commented, "This kind of supernatural power can be regarded as a relatively top level, and with Miss Shi's sword skills, it can play a role in actual combat, even no less than His Royal Highness's 'hunting'."

"It's just that, if I'm not mistaken, using such a magical power will not be a small consumption for Miss Shi.

"But Qi Yuanshan still has some strength to spare.

"Moreover, 'Dragon Howl' is just the starting style of the 'Pingtian Sword Technique'. Its follow-up moves, one move is stronger than the other.

"Perhaps, Miss Shi's battle for today's defense can only end here."

Gu Xu stared at the ring and did not respond to his words.

At the same time as Qi Yan spoke, Qi Yuanshan took out his sword again.

This time, all of his true essence was released, turning into a cloud of smoke, wrapped in the blade of the sword.

Under the light of the Lantern Festival, it looks like a sunset at sunset.

At first glance, it looks like a dream.

In fact, the killing intent is fully revealed.

Gu Xu knew that this was the second form of "Pingtian Sword Technique", "Cangyan".

This is a sword that shocks the mind and oppresses people with power.

In an instant, it seemed as if an invisible wind blew, rolling up the smoke on the blade of the sword, turning it into a monstrous wave, pressing towards Shi Xiaohan overwhelmingly.

"Miss Shi's supernatural powers, it is impossible to block this sword." Qi Yan analyzed.

"You don't have to block it," Gu Xu narrowed his eyes and retorted, "Just take three steps back." ”

In the process of watching the battle, Gu Xu has actually been taking the perspective of Shi Xiaohan and thinking about countermeasures.

He could feel that Qi Yuanshan's sword seemed to be majestic, and it seemed to be able to block the entire ring—but if he looked closely, he still lacked some heat and was not skilled enough.

There were still some gaps in that monstrous sword aura.

After all, a top-grade martial art like the "Pingtian Sword Technique" is not easy to master.

If you can't fully comprehend the true meaning of its Great Dao, you can't use it to perfection.

…………

In the ring.

Looking at the fierce sword in front of him, a trace of nervousness finally appeared on Shi Xiaohan's pretty little face.

Because of the nervous tension, time seems to move very slowly.

The hustle and bustle of people around has also become extremely distant.

She clenched the Kunwu knife in her hand, intending to resist Qi Yuanshan's aggressive blow in a hard-hitting way.

And at this moment, with the powerful perception ability of the Third Realm Cultivator, she keenly captured a familiar voice from the noise of the crowd-

"Take three steps back."
