Chapter 20: The Struggle Between the Sword and the Sword
Xie Zhengliu's words full of meaning did not anger the man, he instead let out a low laugh and said, "You have a point, to be precise, I am really not a person from Hengtian Sect." ”
He randomly picked up a slightly thicker branch from the ground and shook it twice in his hand, as if to get used to the feel.
Then, he looked at Xie Zhengliu again: "Little girl, you are lucky today, when you meet me in a good mood." I wasn't joking when I said you weren't good at swordsmanship. ”
"A real knife has to be practiced like this."
The last word was spit out, and the man's expression, which was still a child, instantly became serious, and he held the branch as if he was holding a real knife.
He obviously didn't use half of his spiritual power, but Xie Zhengliu suddenly felt the edge on this person's body, and subconsciously took a step back.
As soon as the man's figure moved, a gust of wind rolled up out of thin air, and the sound of breaking the air continued to be heard between the waving of branches, which made Xie Zhengliu can't help but tremble.
He neatly rehearsed the moves that Xie Zhengliu had only practiced once before, and his every move seemed to be made in the sword cultivation method.
When the last action was over, the sword wind fell like a sharp blade towards the same big tree. This time, the tree was no longer just cut off a few branches, but simply broke off from its waist.
There was a muffled sound when the big tree that several people hugged together fell, which also made Xie Zhengliu recover from the shock.
She turned her head to look at the branch in the man's hand, which was still intact, not even a leaf had fallen off it.
"See, this is a knife." The man casually threw away the branches, and his demeanor returned to his previous laziness.
With his hands behind his back, he continued to walk away with the steps of an uncle.
Xie Zhengliu endured the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly asked his back, "I don't know what the seniors call them?" The younger generation will continue to practice knife skills here in the future, I wonder if I can ask the seniors for advice? ”
The man waved his hand with his back to her, didn't say a word, and soon disappeared into the back mountain.
Xie Zhengliu was not disappointed when she saw this, she had already seen the strength of sword cultivation from the other party, and she could always find a master who was willing to teach her sword techniques in the future.
And now that her body has not fully recovered, I am afraid that she will have to go through a forging before officially practicing the knife.
While thinking, Xie Zhengliu walked up and wanted to pick up the branch that the man had thrown away, but as soon as she touched the branch, her finger was cut by a fierce breath.
"Sss She took a breath of cold air, "This person and this sword cultivation method are more terrifying than I imagined. ”
But it's better to be more terrifying, after all, her enemies are all three thousand, and it is difficult to kill!
……
When Xie Zhengliu returned to his residence from the back mountain, he saw two familiar figures already waiting in front of her door.
As soon as Zhuang Youqian saw her from afar, he couldn't help but complain: "Where have you been, I haven't found you for a long time." If you come back later, I'm afraid I'll have to go to Brother Minder to help me find someone. ”
Although Yue Mingqiu didn't speak, the look in his eyes also meant the same as Zhuang Youqian.
Xie Zhengliu: "What's the matter, didn't I just see it this morning, do you think that I can't see it for a long time?" ”
"Bah, isn't it embarrassing for you to say such things?" Zhuang Youqian said angrily, "I'm not poor with you, it's a good thing that we came to you this time." Didn't we help a steward repel a demon cultivator before, but now that the sect has found out what happened, it plans to give us some benefits. ”
Yue Mingqiu also nodded: "The two of us have already reported what we want to Senior Brother Fengyang, who is in charge of this matter, you can see what you need, and just mention it directly to Senior Brother when the time comes." ”
They didn't mention it, and Xie Zhengliu almost forgot about it.
It was really that she got a lot of good things from the storage bag of the Yinshan Ancestor, so she couldn't even look down on the rewards of the sect.
However, when people said that they would give a reward, she naturally didn't want to accept it, so she said: "It just so happens that I found a special sword cultivation method, and I am looking for a suitable knife to use." ”
"Knives?" Zhuang Youqian's expression changed when he heard this.
Xie Zhengliu saw his appearance, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean by this expression, what's wrong with the knife?" Doesn't Hengtian Sect have a sword suitable for a low-level monk like me? ”
Zhuang Youqian's brows furrowed tightly: "Not really, it's just that you know that now the sword cultivators in the cultivation realm can count them on one hand." ”
Not only did Zhuang Youqian do it now, but even Xie Zhengliu's brows were frowned upon.
"Is your news accurate, there are so few sword cultivators in the cultivation realm, and the sword cultivators have fallen to this point?" But she had just seen a powerful sword cultivator, a sword cultivator who could emit sword qi and cut off a big tree without even using aura!
Zhuang Youqian naturally wouldn't lie to her: "It's not just a decline, there is simply no way out!" ”
He pulled out a folding fan that he didn't know where he got it, and unfolded it with a bang, covering half of his face. Then he made a look, and pulled Xie Zhengliu and Yue Mingqiu into the room, until he made sure that no one else would hear him, and then he dared to speak:
"In the early years, sword cultivation might still be able to set off some waves in the cultivation world. But since a hundred years ago, after the three thousand Sword Venerables defeated the rest of the top cultivators of the Dao Sect and laid the Sword Cultivation System, Fa Xiu, Dan Xiu and others were fine, but the Sword Cultivator was directly trampled on the soles of his feet! ”
"How so? Even if Sword Cultivation wins, it won't let Sword Cultivation fail like this? Yue Mingqiu was very puzzled by this.
And Zhuang Youqian was secretive: "Heh, because the last person who won the battle at the beginning of the Sword Venerable was a famous sword cultivator." The two were fighting for more than this orthodox position, but also for the throne of the first place in the world! ”
"It is said that that sword cultivator was worried that he would not be able to win, and he also plotted against Jian Zun before the competition. But even so, Jian Zun still won, and directly damaged the dantian of the sword cultivation and broke the natal magic weapon of the sword cultivation. If it weren't for the sect of sword cultivation, I am afraid that he would not even be able to save his life. ”
Xie Zhengliu squinted slightly, secretly pondering this passage in his heart.
Zhuang Youqian's voice continued: "Since then, the sword venerable voice has been heaven-shattering, and the sword cultivation has also become the most powerful Dao system in the Three Thousand Realms. The corresponding discredited sword repair disappeared, and even the entire sword repair suffered heavy losses. However, all sword cultivators looked down on sword cultivation, and even the sects no longer opened teachings related to sword cultivation, and the resources given to sword cultivation also dropped again and again. ”
"Later, those sword cultivators were either forced to change to the Dao Sect, or they lost their lives when they went out to practice. There are a few people who are still active in the cultivation realm now, and they all made a name for themselves early. It's just that even those powerful people, I'm afraid that today's life is not easy. ”
Yue Mingqiu's face showed a little embarrassment, and Zhuang Youqian sighed several times.
And Xie Zhengliu, the former demon, subconsciously thought in a bad direction, she was wondering if that sword cultivator had really done anything, and was that sword venerable really a completely clean and good person?
Will the decline of sword cultivation have the handiwork of Jianzun? What is the identity of the man I see today?
"Tsk." Xie Zhengliu touched his forehead, "All this is really getting more and more interesting." ”
