In fact, the ancestral martial arts of the Shi family have never been known for being strong and domineering, but have taken the route of agility and flexibility, and overcoming rigidity with softness.

For example, the ancestral practice of the Shi family is called "Falling Smoke and Light Jue";

For example, the ancestral body of the Shi family is called "falling flowers and flying flotsam";

Another example is the ancestral swordsmanship of the Shi family, which is called "Caiyun Weiyu Sword";

It's a pity that Shi Xiaohan's temperament has become particularly rebellious since she entered puberty.

She didn't like to follow her father to practice swordsmanship, but she had to go to the Exorcism Division of Qingzhou Mansion to exchange for this "Kunwu Knife" that is more than one meter long and weighs more than ten pounds and the "Overlord Knife Method", which is known for its fierceness and violence, and feels that these things can highlight her "heroic temperament" even more.

Shi Lei was worried that she would not be able to get married, and he begged in letters more than once, hoping that she could learn some more ladylike moves.

But Shi Xiaohan has always been unimpressed with what he said, and repeatedly said that "this woman has long given up being that damn lady", "ghosts are not destroyed, and they will never marry".

Of course, she likes "Overlord Knife Method", which does not mean that she will only "Overlord Knife Method".

Since she is determined to be the ultimate winner tonight, she doesn't mind sacrificing the domineering and fierce "hero" character a little.

So, she performed the "Falling Flowers and Flying Flom" swordsmanship, took a light step, and quickly retreated.

The smoke condensed by Qi Yuanshan's sword qi burst out in an instant from where she was standing, bursting out with extremely majestic power.

Shi Xiaohan's eyes were slightly cold.

She knew that if she hadn't dodged in time, then at the moment when this sword qi exploded, she would definitely be injured a lot.

…………

Offstage.

Qi Yan, a young man in white, glanced at Gu Xu with a somewhat surprised expression: "You are right. I really don't know her well enough. ”

Gu Xu smiled: "Xiao Han has been staying in Yishui County to kill ghosts in recent years, and he has no experience of competing with the Great Qi Tianjiao. It's normal to have a low reputation. ”

"Do you think she'll be able to win this contest?"

"In the next round, she'll win."

"You have so much confidence in her?"

"To be precise, I am confident in the difficulty of the 'Pingtian Sword Technique'."

"The difficulty of the Flat Heaven Sword Technique?" Qi Yan obviously didn't understand Gu Xu's words.

"The Pingtian Sword Technique is worthy of being the secret of the Sword Pavilion, its power is really extraordinary, as long as you learn a little bit of it, it is enough to defeat the monks of the same realm," Gu Xu looked at the ring and analyzed lightly, "However, if you want to completely conquer a high-grade martial art, it is also extremely difficult."

"If you can't fully comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao, not only will the moves you cast be full of loopholes, but it will also have a great consumption of the true element.

"The name 'Pingtian Sword Technique' is taken from the poem left by the Sword Pavilion Patriarch before his ascension - 'The three-foot sword in the box on his back is a sign of injustice for the sky'. The natal sword called 'Three-Foot Sword' that Su Xiao of the Sword Pavilion also got its name from this.

"If I guessed correctly, the true meaning of the avenue of "Pingtian Sword Technique" lies in the chivalrous spirit of jealousy and hatred, and in the determination to eliminate violence and peace.

"However, the sword style that Qi Yuanshan cast did not give me such a feeling.

"On the contrary, I feel that he is using his power to suppress people - this is obviously contrary to the true intent of the Great Dao of the "Pingtian Sword Technique".

"Therefore, after performing the first two styles of the "Pingtian Sword Technique", Qi Yuanshan should have run out of oil.

"However, although Shi Xiaohan's moves are only of medium grade, she has mastered them extremely skillfully - the power that can be exerted in her hands is no less than Qi Yuanshan's half-hung sword moves."

Qi Yan listened carefully to his analysis, and looked at him with more and more surprise.

Although Qi Yan had long known that Gu Xu was well-read, he had an understanding of the world's Taoism and martial arts.

But now, in the process of watching the battle, Gu Xu directly analyzed the "True Meaning of the Great Dao", which still surprised Qi Yan.

Qi Yan took a deep breath.

"In my impression, it seems that Master Gu also has a very powerful high-grade spell?"

"Seven Styles of Burning Heaven," Gu Xu replied calmly, he knew that this was not a secret in the capital, "but I am not talented, I only luckily mastered its first form." ”

…………

While they were talking, the competition between the two of them continued.

After Shi Xiaohan retreated, he didn't give his opponent time to breathe.

Taking advantage of Qi Yuanshan's trance, she waved the "Kunwu Knife" in her hand again.

However, this time, she did not perform the "Overlord Sword Technique", but the moves in the "Caiyun Light Rain Sword".

Using a big knife weighing more than ten catties to perform the dexterous swordsmanship of "Caiyun Weiyu Sword" sounds very incredible.

However, at this moment, the "Kunwu Knife" in her hand looks very light and elegant.

It's just because she is too familiar with this "Colorful Cloud Light Rain Sword".

Since she started practicing, Shi Lei has been teaching her to practice this set of swordsmanship hand in hand.

She has long carved it into her bones.

Even if she exchanged her sword for a branch, a wooden stick, or a broom, she could use this sword technique in its entirety.

As Gu Xu said, the first two styles of the "Pingtian Sword Technique" consumed Qi Yuanshan's true yuan very much.

Qi Yuanshan was no longer able to use his follow-up moves.

He could only rely on muscle memory to use the basic sword style of the Sword Pavilion in an attempt to resist Shi Xiaohan's attack.

But his movements were still slow.

The blade of the "Kunwu Knife" soon pointed at Qi Yuanshan's throat like a ghost.

Qi Yuanshan was stunned in place for two seconds.

Then he looked at Shi Xiaohan on the other side and said, "I lost." Miss Shi's moves are both rigid and soft, and she admires them very much. ”

"Your Excellency's swordsmanship also impresses me as well." Shi Xiaohan put away the knife and complimented.

"I heard that when Miss Shi was in Yishui County, she was a colleague of Master Gu who saved Qingzhou Mansion," Qi Yuanshan made a request to Shi Xiaohan, "If you see him, can you bring him a message for me?" ”

"Of course, you can." Shi Xiaohan nodded.

"My senior brother Su Xiao is very interested in Master Gu," Qi Yuanshan continued, "He very much hopes to meet with Lord Gu at the Luoshui Conference and discuss the Great Dao with Lord Gu. ”

"No problem."

After hearing Shi Xiaohan's affirmative reply, Qi Yuanshan turned around and walked off the high platform.

Today's battle has benefited him a lot.

He decided to retreat and ponder before the Luoshui Conference, and improve the flaws in his swordsmanship as much as possible.

…………

At the same time, Qi Yan glanced at Gu Xu beside him again with meaningful eyes.

Gu Xu has not yet appeared today.

But his name has been resounding over Luoshui over and over again.

(change first, then change)

ps: Sorry for the bit of Kavin, this chapter is a little late. There is another chapter later.
