Chapter 288: Rumors from the outside world
Zhao Qi smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go and meet him." ”
The person at the head is tall and arrogant, and it is the core disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect - Li Piaomiao.
Li Miao glanced at the disciples of Tianyangmen, and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Tianyangmen, it's really declining more and more, and I can't even find a decent opponent." ”
The disciples of Tianyangmen were furious when they heard this, and they drew their swords one after another.
Zhao Qi stepped forward with a calm expression, and arched his hand and said, "Senior Brother Li Ethereal, you have come from afar, and Tianyangmen should treat you with courtesy. But if you come here to provoke, don't blame us for being polite. ”
Li Miao glanced at Zhao Qi, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Who are you?" Worthy to talk to me? ”
Zhao Qi smiled slightly: "Under Zhao Qi, a disciple of the inner sect of Tianyang Gate." Senior Brother Li is famous in the world of cultivating immortals, and he is fortunate to see it today, so he should ask for a few tricks. ”
Li Miao sneered: "Hmph, you can speak." But I'm not going to show mercy to your few compliments. I'm here today, I just want to defeat you and let Tianyangmen know how powerful our Spirit Sword Sect is! ”
Zhao Qi smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Li's words are wrong. The way of cultivating immortals depends on chance and strength. Today, you and I compete in a competition, no matter what the victory or defeat, is a kind of encouragement and spur to each other. Please! ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture of please. Li Yi didn't talk nonsense, his figure flashed, and turned into a sword light and attacked Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi had already prepared, his body moved, and he skillfully dodged Li Ethereal's attack. The two fought together in the martial arts arena, and the sword qi crisscrossed each other, and the fight was inextricable.
Li Yiyi sneered: "Hmph, a nobody dares to challenge me?" Okay, I'll let you see the swordsmanship of the Spirit Sword Sect! ”
Zhao Qi had already prepared, his body moved, and he skillfully dodged Li Ethereal's attack. The two fought together in the martial arts arena, and the sword aura was vertical and horizontal, and the fight was inseparable.
Seeing this, the disciples of Tianyangmen cheered and cheered for Zhao Qi.
And the monks of the Spirit Sword Sect were shocked, they didn't expect that there would be such a master in the Tianyang Sect.
The surrounding disciples held their breath and watched the fierce battle.
They knew that this was not just an ordinary contest, but a direct dialogue of the strength of the two factions.
After a fierce battle, Li Miao gradually felt that Zhao Qi was not an ordinary person, and his swordsmanship was exquisite and varied, making him unguardable.
And Zhao Qi also discovered that although Li Ethereal's swordsmanship was extremely powerful, it lacked a kind of agility and change, and seemed to be bound by a certain fixed routine.
On the martial arts arena of Tianyangmen, the atmosphere was tense and solemn. Sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, adding a touch of gold to the fierce contest.
Zhao Qi was dressed in white, like a sword immortal descending into the world, while Li Ethereal was dressed in black like ink, like a magic sword reborn.
The two stood at opposite ends of the martial arts arena, and there seemed to be sparks splashing between their eyes meeting.
"Zhao Qi, you really live up to your reputation." Li Miao spoke coldly, with a hint of approval in his voice, "But today, I will definitely defeat you to prove the majesty of my Spirit Sword Sect." ”
Zhao Qi smiled slightly, his expression calm: "Senior Brother Li is serious, victory and defeat are commonplace. It's a blessing to be able to learn from you today. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, look at the sword!" Li Miao's body moved, turning into a black sword light and attacking Zhao Qi.
His swordsmanship was sharp and fierce, and each sword seemed to tear the air apart.
Zhao Qi was not flustered, his figure was as fluttering as the wind, and he skillfully dodged Li Ethereal's attack.
At the same time, the long sword in his hand also turned into silver light, intertwined with Li's ethereal black sword light, making a crisp metal collision sound.
The swordsmanship of the two is exquisite, and every move and style contains profound sword intent and infinite changes.
The audience held their breath for fear of missing a single detail. Yi Wuxiao and the others clenched their fists even more nervously, sweating for Zhao Qi.
For a while, the sword aura on the martial arts arena was horizontal, and the figures of the two staggered in the air, leaving afterimages one after another.
Li Miao became more and more courageous the more he fought, and his swordsmanship became more and more powerful, and each sword seemed to put Zhao Qi to death. However, Zhao Qi can always turn danger into victory at critical moments.
"What a delicate swordsmanship!" Elder Chenguang exclaimed on the side, "Zhao Qi, this kid is really a kendo wizard. ”
"Yes, his swordsmanship seems to contain a unique artistic conception and rhythm, which is difficult to guard." Elder Aoshi also nodded in agreement.
Although Li Miao's strength is strong, he is a little powerless in front of Zhao Qi's exquisite swordsmanship.
He was secretly surprised in his heart: "This Zhao Qi's sword technique is so profound and unfathomable, no wonder he can defeat the core disciple of my Spirit Sword Sect." ”
But he was not willing to be defeated, so he took a deep breath and activated his whole body's true element, preparing to launch the strongest blow.
I saw a black glow on his long sword, as if a black dragon was circling and roaring around the sword body.
"Black Dragon Sword Technique!" Li Yi let out a loud shout and swung his sword towards Zhao Qi. A black sword light came out of his hand, turning into a huge black dragon and rushing towards Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi's pupils shrank when he saw this, he knew that this was Li Ethereal's killer move, and he didn't dare to be careless.
His body quickly retreated, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand also swung up, drawing a silver trajectory to fight against the black dragon.
"Boom!" After a loud bang, the arena was dusty and filled with smoke. The audience's eyes widened to see what was going on.
The sunlight slanted on the martial arts arena of Tianyangmen, stretching the figures of Zhao Qi and Li Yi long, as if the shadows of the two swordsmen were also silently competing.
After repeated fierce battles, the physical strength of the two of them has been exhausted, but their eyes are still firm, revealing their determination not to back down.
Li Miao gasped, the long sword in his hand trembled slightly, but he still stared at Zhao Qi, trying to find the other party's flaws.
And Zhao Qi had a calm face, as if everything was under his control. The long sword in his hand swung slightly, drawing elegant arcs, which made people admire.
"Zhao Qi, you really live up to your reputation." Li Miao gritted his teeth and said, "But if you want to defeat me, it's not so easy for you!" ”
Zhao Qi smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Li has won the award." Zhao Qi knows that his cultivation is still shallow, but in today's battle, he will go all out. ”
As he spoke, his body moved, turning into a sword light and attacking Li Ethereal.
Seeing this, Li Miao did not show weakness, and swung his sword to meet it. The two clashed again in the martial arts arena, and the sword qi crisscrossed and made a "whooshing" sound.
Yi Wuxiao and the others watched the game nervously, and pinched a cold sweat for Zhao Qi from time to time.
They knew that Li Miao's strength should not be underestimated, and although Zhao Qi performed well, it was not easy to win.
At this moment, Zhao Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a flaw in Li Ethereal's swordsmanship. He was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately adjusted his body and swung his sword to attack the flaw.
"Not good!" Li Miao screamed secretly in his heart, but it was too late to withdraw the sword momentum.
He could only watch as Zhao Qi's sword light passed through his own defense line and stabbed straight into his chest.
"Ding!" With a soft sound, the tip of Zhao Qi's sword accurately hit Li Ethereal's chest, shaking his long sword out of his hand. And Li Yiyi's figure flickered, and he took a few steps back before he could barely stand firm.
"This kid ......" Li Miao said with his head down, his voice revealing endless loss.
He knew that his strength was indeed inferior to Zhao Qi, and he was convinced to lose this competition.
Zhao Qi put away his sword and stood up, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Li has conceded." ”
As soon as the words fell, thunderous applause and cheers suddenly broke out in the martial arts arena.
The disciples of Tianyangmen rushed forward to congratulate Zhao Qi on his victory, and Yi Wuxiao and the others gathered around him excitedly and cheered.
"Senior Brother Zhao Qi is too powerful! We have finally produced a great talent in Tianyangmen! ”
"Li Ethereal was so powerful that he was defeated by Senior Brother Zhao Qi, our Tianyangmen can be regarded as raising eyebrows this time!"
The discussions of the disciples came and went, full of admiration and appreciation for Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi smiled and thanked everyone: "Thank you for your support and encouragement. Zhao Qi just won by luck, and he needs to work harder to cultivate in the future to live up to everyone's expectations. ”
And Li Ethereal left gloomily with the support of everyone. He knew that his failure was not only a personal shame, but also a shame for the Spirit Sword Sect.
He secretly made up his mind in his heart: he must work hard to cultivate and find today's field to correct the name of the Spirit Sword Sect!
The mountains of Tianyangmen seem to be covered with a golden veil under the reflection of the morning glow.
In the morning breeze, the figures of the disciples practicing swords are as vigorous as flying, and the sword qi is vertical and horizontal. Among these figures, there is a young man in white who is particularly eye-catching, and that is Zhao Qi.
Ever since he defeated Li Ethereal in the martial arts arena, Zhao Qi's name has risen rapidly in the Tianyang Gate like a comet.
The disciples all looked at him with admiration, and even those core disciples who thought highly of themselves on weekdays were also impressed by him.
"Did you hear that? Senior Brother Zhao Qi was in the cultivation tower again yesterday and broke through to a new realm! ”
"Really? He's only been in the business for a few years, and he's already had such an achievement, which is really unattainable. ”
"Isn't it? I heard that even Elder Chenguang praised him, saying that he was a cultivation wizard who was rare in a thousand years. ”
The private discussions of the disciples continued to reach Zhao Qi's ears, but he was not complacent because of this.
He knew that cultivation was like sailing against the current, and if he didn't advance, he would retreat. Therefore, he cultivated even harder, hoping to bring more honor to Tianyangmen.
The disciples of each peak and cave all gathered on the martial arts arena, ready to show their skills. Zhao Qi was naturally among them, he was dressed in white and carrying a long sword, like a sword immortal who walked out of the picture scroll.
When his figure appeared on the martial arts arena, it immediately caused a commotion.
The disciples began to talk one after another, some marveling at his demeanor and others jealous of his achievements. But no matter what, they can't deny the fact that Zhao Qi has become the leader of the younger generation of Tianyangmen.
The night was like ink, and in the secret room of the Spirit Sword Sect, a faint blue spiritual lamp emitted a faint light.
Elder Hei Yuan sat at the stone table, his face gloomy as water. His eyes flashed with cunning and ruthlessness, and he was plotting a conspiracy against Zhao Qi of Tianyangmen.
"This Zhao Qi'er has repeatedly made my Spirit Sword Sect lose face, if I don't get rid of it, how can my Spirit Sword Sect hold its head up in front of Tianyang Gate in the future!"
Elder Hei Yuan gritted his teeth and said, the teacup in his hand was clattered by him.
Next to him, a disciple lowered his head and said cautiously: "Elder, Zhao Qi's strength is not bad, I am afraid it will not be easy to get rid of him." ”
Elder Hei Yuan sneered, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Hmph, what if the strength is not bad?" The old man has his own clever plan to make him ruined! ”
He paused and continued: "If you go and spread the news, just say that Zhao Qi has an artifact in his hand, and he can dominate the cultivation realm. I believe that those greedy people will definitely move when they hear the wind, and when the time comes, we will secretly add fuel to the flames and let Zhao Qi fall into a place of no return! ”
When the disciple heard this, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, but he still replied, "Yes, Elder!" ”
Elder Hei Yuan nodded with satisfaction, a smug smile on his face. He seemed to have seen the scene when Zhao Qi was ruined and Tianyangmen was discredited.
At the same time, there was peace inside the Tianyang Gate. Zhao Qi was in retreat and cultivating in the cave, and he didn't know anything about the ups and downs of the outside world.
His mind was completely immersed in cultivation, and the spiritual power in his body was tumbling, and his breath was as majestic as the sea.
Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan sat at the stone table outside the cave, chatting while drinking tea.
They talked about their recent cultivation experiences, and also mentioned Zhao Qi's successive victories and Tianyangmen's great prestige.
"Senior Brother Zhao Qi is really amazing, why not worry about having him in our Tianyangmen?" Yi Wuxiao sighed.
Zhang Youyuan smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Zhao Qi is not only powerful, but also humble and low-key, he is really a model for my generation." ”
While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps. Qian Wushuang ran over panting, his face full of anxiety: "Oh no! Senior Brother Yi, Senior Brother Zhang, something big happened outside! ”
"Why are you so flustered?" Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan glanced at each other and asked in unison.
Qian Wushuang swallowed his saliva and said eagerly: "It is rumored outside that Senior Brother Zhao Qi has an artifact in his hand, and now all the major sects and scattered cultivators are rushing towards our Tianyang Gate, wanting to snatch the artifact!" ”
"What?!" Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan were shocked when they heard this, "Where did this news come from?" ”
Qian Wushuang shook his head: "I don't know, but the news has spread widely, and now the entire cultivation world knows about it!" ”
Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
They knew that this matter was not trivial, and they had to immediately notify Zhao Qi, Elder Chenguang and the others to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, Zhao Qi, who was in retreat, also sensed the strange aura of the outside world. He frowned slightly, and slowly opened his eyes.
A powerful aura emanated from him, filling the entire cave in an instant.
"Looks like something is happening." (End of chapter)
