Chapter 61: Sword Trial, Kendo.
Lin Feng didn't know much about Xiao Lingtian, but when he understood his kendo inheritance, it was mixed with a piece of his life.
Xiao Lingtian was originally a blacksmith's child, and his family has been making a living from striking iron for generations, and in Xiao Lingtian's generation, because the emperor was reckless, he was also forcibly requisitioned to build weapons.
For some reason, Xiao Lingtian had a soft spot for forging long swords, hammering and forging day after day, and one long sword after another was born from his hands.
Xiao Lingtian didn't know how many swords he had built, but his country was declining as the war progressed, and the army was losing ground one day, until one day, Xiao Lingtian, who was forging weapons, was attracted by the shouts and wails outside the house.
When he walked out of the house, he was deeply stimulated by the sight of the enemy army's brutal slaughter of the elderly, children, women and children, blood flying everywhere, and human heads rolling.
It was at that moment that Xiao Lingtian, who was over half a hundred years old, came to his senses, and after thirty years of forging a long sword, he touched a little bit of the way of the sword, and when he saw his compatriots being slaughtered, his killing heart was also ignited.
The sword opens the double edge, and the enemy fights in close quarters, which is dangerous, and the person who uses the sword knows it, although he is called the "king of a hundred soldiers", but he is born to kill.
From that day on, there was one less blacksmith in the world who forged swords, and one more sword demon who killed the 20,000 armies of the empire.
Xiao Lingtian had no one to guide him, so he stepped into the way of the sword on his own, and in the next ten years, he was looking for sword masters from all over the world to compete, but it was a mundane martial art after all, and Xiao Lingtian soon reached the point where he could not advance.
He knew that there were immortals in the world, and there were also sword immortals among them, but he couldn't find them, and he spent ten years visiting famous mountains without meeting a legendary immortal.
By chance, Xiao Lingtian, who thought that there was no hope of breaking through, heard that the royal family enshrined an immortal, so he stepped into the imperial city with one person and one sword.
Xiao Lingtian met the immortal as he wished and explained his intentions, but the immortal thought that Xiao Lingtian had no wisdom roots and could not step into the cultivation path, so he directly rejected Xiao Lingtian, who had made all kinds of requests.
Xiao Lingtian knew that if he couldn't step into the immortal gate, he would die sooner or later, and he didn't want to watch his qi and blood decay and die, so he took the initiative to ask the immortals for battle.
In the face of a mortal's provocation, that immortal would naturally not get used to Xiao Lingtian and make a move with anger.
That battle shattered most of the palace, and if the emperor hadn't ordered everyone to retreat in time, I am afraid it would have caused a lot of casualties.
Everyone thought that Xiao Lingtian, who had angered the immortals, had no life at all, and what could come out of the ruins was Xiao Lingtian who was holding a broken sword in one hand and the corpse of an immortal in the other.
"With a sword in your hand, you can slash immortals in your mortal body!"
Xiao Lingtian was arrogant, although he still hadn't found a way to break through, he could fight with the immortals, and his strength was improved again.
This battle shocked the entire continent, and everyone knew about the feat of the sword demon Xiao Lingtian who rebelled against the immortals, and those who were alarmed were also far away from the overseas immortal sect of the world.
Xiao Lingtian was taken away by the people of the Immortal Sect, many people speculated that he was killed by the Immortals' masters, and some people speculated that he was made a disciple by the Immortals.
It's just that since then, the sword demon has disappeared, and his legend has been circulating on the mainland, and countless martial artists have pursued his realm all their lives, eager to reach the supreme martial realm of slaying immortals with mortal bodies.
And Xiao Lingtian, as he wished, joined the Immortal Gate, and in just one hundred years, the shattered void flew away, and in the next eight thousand years, Xiao Lingtian advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching his current realm, the Mixed Yuan Sage.
In Lin Feng's view, his life is all the way with the halo of the protagonist, a blacksmith, who only began to contact kendo when he was over half a hundred years old, and finally became a mixed yuan saint, which definitely took the protagonist's script.
For Xiao Lingtian's swordsmanship, Lin Feng still recognized it very much, and Xiao Lingtian divided his understanding of swordsmanship into five realms.
The first realm: there is a sword in the hand, but there is no sword in the heart. This realm only relies on moves, and the pursuit is a sword move that is so wonderful.
The second realm: a sword in the hand and a sword in the heart. In this realm, the sword moves have reached the point of perfection, and all the moves have become instinctive, and there is no need to use them deliberately.
The third realm: the unity of man and sword. The sword in the hand is the sword in the heart, and the long sword in the hand is like an arm command, which can be used to resist the enemy.
The fourth realm: the heart sword. Every grass and tree can be a sword, it can break mountains and rivers, and it can break the void.
The fifth realm: Dao Sword. The avenue is the sword, the enemy is broken, and the cause and effect of the enemy are cut.
The fifth realm was not even fully comprehended by Xiao Lingtian himself, but he had already comprehended part of the essence in the Battle of the Heavenly Tribulation, which also proved that his direction was not wrong.
And Lin Feng took a few days, and he had only just touched the second layer realm, he had also used a sword before, but he didn't have much understanding of the way of the sword.
This beast tide attack on the city was an excellent opportunity for her to test the sword, so he took the initiative to jump off the city wall and rush into the beast tide.
"Someone! Come! Pay attention to Lin Feng's movements, long-range fire support, and don't use weapons of wide area destruction in his area! Seeing Lin Feng jumping off the city wall, Ye Rulong's head was even bigger, he knew that Lin Feng's combat power was good, but under the city wall was a crazy beast tide, not one or two lone genetic beasts.
Ye Rulong gave an order, and the direction of Lin Feng's charge became the direction covered by the key firepower.
As a result, Lin Feng ran below for a long time, and not a single gene beast was cut, which made him very depressed, "Uncle Ye! Leave me alone! I'm going to try my sword! There's no point in me jumping off like this! ”
After Lin Feng shouted, the situation was much better, although there was still fire cover, there would still be fish that slipped through the net and rushed towards him.
In the flickering cold light, Lin Feng frequently took out his swords, each sword went straight to the vital point of the gene beast, and when the source power surged, one gene beast after another hated Lin Feng's sword.
"When did this kid start practicing swords? Why had he never seen him use a weapon before? Ye Rulong of the city wall saw Lin Feng's wanton sword qi, and there were doubts in his eyes.
Since he knew Lin Feng, he had never seen Lin Feng use a sword, and now when he saw Lin Feng's exquisite sword moves, he was also amazed in his heart, just because Lin Feng had hidden it before.
"Deacon Ye, we're here to support you." Just when Ye Rulong was watching Lin Feng distracted, Kong Qi finally arrived with someone.
"Dean Kong, you came just in time, I want to send someone to ask you for help." Seeing Kong Qi, Ye Rulong immediately put on a smiling face.
Kong Qi's strength is above Ye Rulong, and he is also a well-known powerhouse in the entire Great Xia, for such a strong reinforcement, Ye Rulong can't ask for it.
"What about Lin Feng? He should have come over a long time ago, right? Kong Qi glanced around, didn't see Lin Feng's figure, and asked.
"Dean Kong, Lin Feng, down there." Ye Rulong looked embarrassed and pointed to the bottom of the city wall, where was Lin Feng who was fighting against the gene beast.
He knew that Lin Feng was Kong Qi's heart, after all, such an excellent student was the first since the establishment of Jiangnan Academy, even Su Yunxi was inferior to Lin Feng by a few points.
"Isn't this nonsense?! Well? When did this kid learn the sword? can actually use such a subtle sword move, this can't be practiced in ten years of kung fu, right? I've never heard of him learning swords. ”
Kong Qi wanted to scold, but after he saw Lin Feng's sword move, he instantly quieted down.
Kong Qi himself does not use a sword, but he has an old friend who uses a sword, in his opinion, Lin Feng's sword is not inferior to his old friend, you know, his friend is a swordsman who has been immersed in kendo for more than 30 years.
"I thought you taught him." Ye Rulong laughed on the side.
"Me? I don't have that ability, this little guy really surprises people time and time again, and I don't know how many hole cards he still has hidden. Conch smiled and shook his head.
"That's it, it's important to defend the city, since he wants to try the sword, go with him, and when he is in danger, the old man will rescue him." Seeing that the war was tight, Kong Qi also made a decision.
The beast tide is still continuing, this vanguard is all cannon fodder, the more than 30,000 genetic beasts of the quenching realm have not yet appeared, after the battle lasted for more than two hours, the beast tide temporarily receded, and Lin Feng also returned to the city wall with his broken sword.
The quality of this sword is not bad, but unfortunately it is mortal after all, it can't withstand such a high-intensity battle, and under the destruction of Lin Feng, only two-thirds of the sword body remains, and there are many gaps in the blade.
"Lin Feng, when this challenge is over, maybe you will be able to have a good sword." Kong Qi saw Lin Feng looking at the broken sword in his hand and shook his head, and said with a smile.
Lin Feng didn't care too much about this, he shook his head because his comprehension of the second layer of the sword realm was too slow, and he always had a plausible feeling.
"Dean, do you know a master with a sword?" Lin Feng thought that Kong Qi was quite well-connected in Great Xia, and asked.
Fighting with the gene beast, except for being more proficient in sword moves, he didn't gain much understanding, so Lin Feng remembered that Xiao Lingtian challenged all kinds of masters, maybe there were masters to feed him, and his comprehension of the way of the sword could go further.
"Well, naturally, there are, I know two people, one of them has a close personal relationship with me, I can introduce you to you if I have the opportunity, as for the other one, I'm afraid there is no chance now, and you won't be his opponent."
"Thank you, Dean."
"Oh? Lin Feng, you're lucky, that one is here, and having him feed you may be more reliable than my old friend. Conch suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed.
"Xiao Kong, don't come unharmed." Just when Lin Feng was wondering why Kong Qi said this, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
Lin Feng looked up and saw a figure he was very familiar with, "Ji Xuanyuan?" How did he end up in Gangnam? ”
"Thank you Lord for your concern, the younger generation is not very afraid." Kong Qi bowed respectfully to Ji Xuanyuan.
"Meet the Hall Master!" Ye Rulong knelt directly on one knee, and buried his head directly, as if he wanted to enter his chest.
"Meet the Hall Master!" The soldiers were even more excited and shouted in unison.
"Let's all get up, this is Lin Feng's little friend, right?" Ji Xuanyuan landed on the city wall, his eyes locked on Lin Feng.
"Boy Lin Feng, meet the hall master." Lin Feng saluted indifferently, and did not show a nervous look at all, Ji Xuanyuan was very familiar to him, and he understood the character of this old man.
"Hahahaha, it's really a young hero, the old man has heard of you for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" Ji Xuanyuan was very satisfied with Lin Feng's performance and laughed out loud.
"Roar!" As soon as Ye Rulong wanted to say something, a beast roar came from afar.
"Okay, get ready to fight, what's there, talk about it after the battle, the old man will help you." Ji Xuanyuan glanced at Ye Rulong and spoke.
"Yes! Your Excellency. Ye Rulong bowed and responded.
"All of them! Get ready for battle! ”
