Volume 5: The First Song 346: The Examination of Chengguan Grace (29)

Qi Ruoyu dodged the second slash from Yan Xuan's slash in shock.

Just as she was about to return the color, suddenly there was a flash of fire in the afterglow of her eyes, and she saw Yan Xuan's originally empty hand waving and bursting out with the firelight, and a narrow red line with a churning wave of fire quickly slashed towards her!

This knife is even more menacing than the two knives just now.

Qi Ruoyuan had no choice but to dodge again, but this time she looked at the sword light that came over with great attention, she wanted to take a good look at how the opponent's second knife in a slash was issued!

The long Fengling fire knife slashed over, leaving a condensed red light after the scorching heat flow that passed closely, as if spreading out a large bright red brocade, Qi Ruoyuan wanted to see the secret of Yan Xuan's double knives, but obviously she thought about the Fengling fire knife too simply, the light and shadow were twisted and shaken in the heat stirring, and the afterimage like a red brocade fluttered like a banner in the air, when Qi Ruoyuan was looking for it, the cold and fiery blade suddenly appeared from the afterimage and almost reached Qi Ruoyuan, this time she was very embarrassed to dodge.

Immediately, the frightened Qi Ruowei saw Yan Xuan's arms waving in unison, and at the same time, on both sides of her body, a slender blade like a line of fire was closing towards her flames.

The two knives hit together, Qi Ruoyuan was difficult to resist, so she could only dodge again, and then when her body was unstable, as she expected, Yan Xuan's two follow-up knives slashed at Qi Ruoyuan's waist again at the same time in a combined attack.

Many disciples in the audience had already seen the power of Yan Xuan's method, and they were amazed.

After a few knives, Yan Xuan not only calmed down again, but also saw herself and her opponent more transparently at the same time, she understood that without the blessing of the wings of the fire phoenix, she must be inferior to her opponent in terms of body style alone, but at the same time, Qi Ruoyuan was also very jealous of her Fengling fire knife, even if she held the flaming long sword in her hand, Qi Ruoyuan did not dare to resist Yan Xuan's fire knife head-on.

And Yan Xuan's Fengling fire knife also has a strength, that is, send and receive at will, if a knife is missed, the blade will immediately retract from a few zhang to a few feet long, and when Yan Xuan cuts it out again, the fire will be in an instant, and it will be a few zhang or even longer blades to cut over, Qi Ruoyuan's long whip can also do it, but because he is afraid of the sharpness of this fire knife, he does not dare to hit its edge directly, and can only dodge it by his body.

It was also after these few swords that Yan Xuan had already figured out that all monks have strengths and weaknesses, and the so-called competition and fighting are nothing more than not letting the opponent use their weaknesses while looking for the opponent's weaknesses in the temptation, and then giving full play to their strengths to defeat them. Over the years, Yan Xuan has been listening to the teachings of Zhong's predecessors, and he has not bothered to learn more other spells, and he has spent a lot of effort on this Fengling Fire Knife, and now it has finally paid off.

But now she is still in the middle of the competition, Qi Ruoyuan is just afraid of the power of her Fengling Fire Knife, if she adapts to it for a long time, it will not be good if there are any means to fight back, after all, Yan Xuan can use not many means, she doesn't want Qi Ruoyuan to insert her long sword in the ring again to cause the unpredictable ground fire, nor can she have the opportunity to cast that big attic fireball again, Yan Xuan is still apprehensive about the power of the big fireball, not to mention that now she does not have the protection of the fire phoenix wings.

If you want to defeat her, you must keep slashing the Fengling Fire Knife, so that she has no time to use her means, let her be tired of coping, let her show her flaws, and then she will have a chance!

This is the beginning of Yan Xuan's counterattack!

One knife is tighter than the other, one knife is faster than the other, and the fire is more fierce than the other, almost covering Yan Xuan's figure. The firelight went back and forth, the red shadow shuttled up and down, the whistling sound accompanied by the fire of hunting and hunting did not stop, and the layers of red brocade were spread out on the ring in the heat drumming, and the two of them were dressed in red dresses and both of them were extremely slender figures kept changing their positions rapidly, as if they were chasing and playing, but the constant sword light and fire shadow between the two made it clear that they were in a fierce battle.

The audience was silent, and everyone endured the scorching heat and stared at the competition on the stage.

This is the first time that Qi Ruozi has been at a disadvantage since the start of the competition, and she was chased and beaten, which made her, who had never had this experience, know the feeling of nesting fire for the first time. She tried to use her sword to reinsert herself in the ring to perform the "Earth Fire Technique" that had forced Yan Xuan to scramble before, but Yan Xuan didn't give her a chance at all, and finally pinched the trick, but the flaming long sword was knocked away by Yan Xuan as soon as it flew out, and the second knife returned to the long sword, which was to prevent her from this means;

Qi Ruoyuan still wanted to cast that big fireball again, but Yan Xuan immediately changed the slash to a stab, in order to split, and at the same time rushed forward at a high speed to shorten the distance between the two, under the incomparably frequent attack, Qi Ruoyuan couldn't even complete the trick of casting that spell;

As for the pitch-black long whip in her hand, it can be whipped to Yan Xuan's body, but the whipping of the long whip is always slower than the chopping of Yan Xuan's fire knife, not only that, Qi Ruoyuan can indeed bind Yan Xuan with a long whip a few times, if it is her hand, she will win, but Yan Xuan actually put a fire knife on her body with the blade outward, and the other fire knife is still slashing at her, if the long whip is entangled and tight, Qi Ruoyuan is worried that her long whip will be cut by the blade of the fire knife, so she has to give up;

She also tried to turn the long whip into a straight spear, but it still didn't work, and the only thing that turned into a spear that could hurt people was the tip of the spear in front of her, Yan Xuan's fire knife was not only extremely long but also every inch of the blade was a flaming blade, whenever this time, Yan Xuan only had to resist once and then held up his double knives to bully Qi Ruoyuan, and Qi Ruoyuan was still forced to dodge.

Qi Ruoyuan was still thinking about using other means, but there was no chance at all in Yan Xuan's blind rush and fierce fighting, and the form in the ring at this time was reversed, and Yan Xuan kept chasing her, while Qi Ruoyuan was puzzled in embarrassment, why did this Yan Xuan change so much?

Could it be that she pretended to be embarrassed and show weakness at the beginning?

No, Qi Ruoyuan asked herself, even if she didn't have countless experience of reading people, she could still see if the opponent was flustered and timid.

This change happened after her Fire Phoenix Spirit was torn out by the Scourge Fight, was she enraged?

The Five Spirit disciples who watched the battle in the audience were also stunned, and they didn't even care about the heat on the stage, Yan Xuan, who had been pressed and beaten, obviously looked like she was in a hurry and inexperienced after she took the stage, but how could she pull the situation back in one fell swoop after the fire spirit was bitten and pulled out by someone's black dog?

Also, obviously she only slashed once, so what happened to the second sword light that followed closely?

Tang Ping, Qian Chao and Lu Pingchuan were all relieved when they saw this, and finally Yan Xuan suppressed the opponent.

And Li Jian began to lock his brows again, he could see that although Yan Xuan temporarily had the upper hand on the stage, this was the same as when Qi Ruoyuan had the upper hand before, it was a stalemate, then Qi Ruoxuan's body was not weak, with Yan Xuan's current knife momentum was not enough to defeat her, if Miss Yan wanted to break the game and win...... Li Jian thinks...... She had to have some kind of breakthrough on stage.

At this time, on the Chengguan Tower, all the Jiedan elders were attracted by the changes in the situation in the ring, especially the Elder Song of Meng Cailou, who was secretly surprised by the changes that had taken place in the ring.

As for Fairy Zhong Yao, with a smile on her face at this time, she could naturally see that although Yan Xuan had the upper hand in the ring, it was still a stalemate, at least at the moment, neither of these two could defeat the opponent, but in Fairy Zhong Yao's opinion, as long as Yan Xuan took another step forward, Qi Ruoyu would not be her opponent, so Fairy Zhong Yao sat there and waited quietly, waiting for her disciple to take that crucial step......

……

Although he had the upper hand, Yan Xuan was more anxious.

Before the third layer of qi refining, because Yan Xuan wanted to make achievements in alchemy, he was not very interested in spell methods, and most of his time and energy were put on fiddling with spirit grass and opening the furnace alchemy, and there was only one "phoenix breath technique" that could be used. Fengling Fire Knife "learned the hand."

After "Immortal Fishing", Yan Xuan and his four partners all entered the cultivation of the third layer of qi refining, and they could go out, at that time, Yan Xuan was still thinking about working alchemy, and the other four partners were all good, and it seemed that she could deal with it without how she could do it, so Yan Xuan never thought of learning more magic techniques, but in those years, Yan Xuan worked the "Phoenix Breath Technique" and the "Phoenix Ling Fire Knife", Later, she saw that others could summon their own fire spirits in battles, and the means were changeable, which was unguardable, so she went to consult Senior Zhong under envy, first, to ask how to cultivate her own fire spirit faster; The second is that I want to learn more spells, and ask Senior Zhong to give some guidance.

Senior Zhong gave Yan Xuan the best answer to these two questions, first of all, you can't be in a hurry when cultivating fire spirits, there is indeed a way to quickly let a fire control cultivator cultivate fire spirits, but that kind of method is suspected of boosting seedlings, and it is not advisable. She asked Yan Xuan to wait slowly, one day Yan Xuan could get his own fire spirit, and that kind of fire spirit was good for Yan Xuan; The second is that Yan Xuan wants to learn more other spell methods, but Zhong seniors think that Yan Xuan's existing two methods are enough, the magic means lie in the essence rather than in the Bo, and Yan Xuan's cultivation at that time is proficient in one or two things is enough, not greedy. In Fairy Zhong's view, if the monk is regarded as a tree, cultivation is the foundation, cultivation is the backbone, and the means are the branches on the tree, and the qi refining disciple is equivalent to a sapling with a weak foundation and trunk.

Zhong Yao's predecessor's suggestion benefited Yan Xuan a lot, Yan Xuan followed the advice of Zhong senior, and finally cultivated his own fire spirit, and it was also the best fire phoenix spirit, and now, with her Fengling Fire Knife that had been cultivated for many years, she was constantly forcing Qi Ruoyuan, a powerful opponent, to retreat.

But it's just a retreat!

This is what makes Yan Xuan the most anxious, what she thinks about is how to use her Fengling Fire Knife to win and solve the long-delayed deadlock in front of her.

When she was suppressed by Qi Ruoyuan before, she thought that Qi Ruoyuan must have been very anxious, obviously having an advantage but never being able to win, which is really unsettling, and she is always worried that the opponent will have some powerful means to bring this situation back in the next moment.

A knife slashed over, and in Yan Xuan's gaze, Qi Ruoyuan's figure avoided the blade of the rolling waves of fire like a shock, and then the second knife of this slash was also avoided by her.

I don't know how many knives were cut out like this, and the two of them don't know how long they chased in the ring, but it's still the same.

It's not a good idea to spend it like this!

Although she was anxious and the Fengling Fire Knife seemed to be powerful, but it couldn't make a contribution, Yan Xuan didn't dare to stop, watching Qi Ruoyuan avoid the knife she struggled to swing, and she was angry in her heart Why can't this knife be faster, and then she watched the second knife rub the soles of Qi Ruoyuan's shoes, two knives in one slash, Yan Xuan has always valued the first knife, she wants to defeat the opponent with a heavy slash, but Qi Ruoyuan's body is really extraordinary, she can't do it, and then watch the second knife fail, alas, if you can... …

yes, if only that...... Wouldn't it be able to make Qi Ruoyan unguardable!

In an instant, many ideas came flooding in, almost filling Yan Xuan's mind!

At this moment, the inadvertent thought was like a shocking thunderbolt in the dark rainy night, Yan Xuan's mind exploded like a pot of hot oil being dripped into a drop of water, in this fierce battle, she actually had a moment of sluggishness in the ring that countless people watched, during which Qi Ruoxuan looked at her very suspiciously and hesitated to take the opportunity to do it, but immediately Yan Xuan came to her senses, and when she turned her head to look at Qi Ruoyuan, her face was still full of surprise and irrepressible excitement!

Qi Ruoyuan became vigilant for a moment.

What's wrong with her, why is she so weird?

Is there going to be some new trick coming up?

Qi Ruoyuan couldn't figure it out, but she was more careful.

One slash can make two slashes, which Yan Xuan can easily do now, and the second of the two slashes will follow Yan Xuan's mind to pursue the opponent and continue to cut through.

But after fighting for a while, this method has not been able to defeat the opponent, since a method does not work, then it is necessary to make changes, otherwise it will drag on time, or it will be a stalemate.

Yan Xuan suddenly figured it out when she complained about herself in her heart, she has always attached importance to the first knife she sent, and the second knife behind her was left alone, when dealing with ordinary opponents, the second knife was naturally extremely powerful, but it was much worse when dealing with Qi Ruoyuan's second knife.

If...... Yan Xuan no longer continued in this order...... What if her own mind was on harnessing the second slash after the first slash?

The first question, of course, is whether she can do it.

Yes!

This is why Fairy Zhong Yao did not let Yan Xuan practice too many complicated spells, he had poured his heart and soul into the Fengling Fire Knife for many years, and today it finally paid off, as the so-called never forget, there will be an echo!

Yan Xuan began to try, and the fire knife rolled away!

Seeing that it was still such a method, Qi Ruoyuan sighed, and secretly said when should this situation end, it seems that this competition is likely to end in a draw, maybe after a while, the elders of the Five Spirits Sect will impatiently come out and announce a tie between the two. While thinking about her figure, she pulled up and avoided this horizontal slash, but just after the first knife, according to the previous battle experience, the second horizontal slash that Qi Ruoyuan should be wary of immediately following appeared, but this time it was completely different, this time it was when Qi Ruoyuan was dodging the first knife...... The second knife has appeared out of thin air...... The connection between the front and back knives is extremely tight, almost inadmissible, and when Qi Ruoyuan thinks that her ankle has not yet escaped the threat of the first knife, the second knife has already reached her ribs!

If she continues to raise her body upward, the second knife will definitely be able to stand on her waist, I heard that the Chengguan En of the Five Spirits Sect will definitely not hurt people in the ring, but defeat is inevitable.

Qi Ruoyuan was shocked and leaned back suddenly, and her body narrowly avoided it between the two long knives that danced in flames, and the second knife almost passed by her face, so that she felt the blazing breath of the Fengling Fire Knife at a very close distance, although the breath was scorching, but Qi Ruoyuan felt that her back was almost soaked in cold sweat.

It's done!

Yan Xuan is ecstatic!

But now Yan Xuan can't care about anything else, this method is feasible, so he should make good use of it, and when Qi Ruoyuan is leaning in the air, the fire will reappear!

Qi Ruoyuan felt the heat wave above her head pressing down, and when she was about to stand up, her complexion changed greatly, and the fatal Fengling Fire Knife above was slashing downward!

The audience exclaimed.

……

Li Jian's heart suddenly relaxed, and at this time he was sure that Miss Yan had indeed made some kind of breakthrough in the ring, not a breakthrough in cultivation, but a big step forward in Miss Yan's means.

Upstairs in Chengguan, the smile on Fairy Zhong Yao's face was even stronger, Yan Xuan really didn't disappoint her, and finally stepped out of this step by herself, and in her opinion, there was no suspense in this competition.
