Chapter 17 Cultural Struggle and Martial Arts
The victory and defeat have been divided, Jin Zhanying accepted the Wanjin sword and smiled at Zhu Xiaomin: "Senior sister, you lost." ”
"Xiaomin's cultivation is not enough, thank you for your advice. Fortunately, Zhu Xiaomin suffered some minor injuries and was fine. Walking off the stage, Yan Luoting, who did not give up, hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern: "Senior sister, the fight is really wonderful! It doesn't matter if you are injured, right? I have a Runxi Pill here, you hurry up and ...... it."
"Senior brother, have you forgotten what I said before? Zhu Xiaomin interrupted Yan Luoting's words impatiently, walked straight to Tianxiao and Tianyao, and saw the concerned eyes of the two, she stretched out her arms and turned around, and smiled: "I'm fine, don't worry." With that, she took the two of them by the head and left without looking back.
All the disciples whispered, some were sighing for Zhu Xiaomin's completely different attitude, and some were gloating when they saw Yan Luoting being left out.
Yan Luoting looked at the backs of Zhu Xiaomin and the others, his fists clenched, and his eyes flashed. He flattered Zhu Xiaomin in a low voice, but in the end he ended up being embarrassed in front of everyone, he was not reconciled at all, and thought hatefully in his heart: "Hmph, Zhu Xiaomin, I don't know how to lift, one day I will make you obedient to me." He Tianxiao, He Tianyao, you walk for me to see......"
In the afternoon, Tianxiao came to the Zhurong Battle Stage, where he will face his opponent in the second round. At the same time, Tianyao played in the Gonggong Battle Platform. Those who can enter the second round will definitely not be too weak. The opponents of both were disciples of the middle stage of harmony. This time Tianxiao and Tianyao were not as easy as the first two rounds, and Tianyao won due to the opponent's lack of physical strength after a long battle. Tianxiao, on the other hand, fought with his opponent in an hour, and finally the Elder of the Warden judged that Tianxiao was slightly better than a few moves, thus winning the thrilling victory. Zhu Xiaomin wanted to watch the game between the two people, but the Zhurong battle platform was in the easternmost side, and the Gonggong battle platform was in the westernmost side, which was too far away, so she was busy running between the two battle platforms throughout the Shen Shi period. After the game, Zhu Xiaomin seemed to be more tired than Tianxiao and Tianyao.
Now, in addition to Zhu Xiaomin, Tianxiao and Tianyao have entered the third round. Zhu Xiaomin did not lose unjustly, and after listening to several people describe the process of the battle, Yu Ruijiang put forward several new cultivation requirements for Zhu Xiaomin's weaknesses and shortcomings, and also taught her several effective methods to deal with strong enemies temporarily. As for Tianxiao and Tianyao, Yu Ruijiang directly issued two intermediate-grade pills to one person, the Luoxue Pill restored his physical strength, and the Liyuan Pill nourished the spiritual power in his body, so that the two of them could recover to the peak state in just one day.
After that, April 18 and 19 was the second round of the Yuan Infant War. In addition to Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe, who still stayed in Zhuyuan, Tianxiao, Tianyao and Zhu Xiaomin all went to watch Xiao Liying's game. Xiao Liying's realm looks like he is about to enter the realm of the void and the underworld, and the opponent in the second round is also in the late Yuan Infant period, after fighting for half an hour, Xiao Liying defeated the opponent and successfully advanced to the third round.
Three days later, on April 22, it was the third round of the peace war, and there were only four matches in total. Tianyao first faced his opponent in the third round at the Jumang Battle Stage. This opponent was a disciple in the late stage of Hehe, who was lucky to win the second round, and after resting for three days at all, he didn't recover at all. So after the game started, he only made a symbolic two strokes and conceded defeat.
At the time of Shen, several people came to the battle platform, and Tianxiao will fight here. His opponent was a disciple named Qin Yuejie under the Fourth Elder Hong Yunlei's throne. Although Qin Yuejie is not short, he has a baby face, and he always has a bright smile on his face, and he looks very kind. He joined the sect two years later than Tianxiao, and now he has cultivated to the realm of the early stage of harmony, and this qualification can also be called very good. Seeing that Qin Yuejie only relied on his cultivation in the early stage of Hehe, but he successfully broke into the third round, and he didn't seem to be injured, Tianxiao was very vigilant in his heart, and repeatedly told himself not to be confused by Qin Yuejie's innocent appearance.
As soon as the two stood opposite each other on the stage, Qin Yuejie took out the fairy sword on his back and said, "Senior Brother He, my fairy sword is called 'Phantom Willow', it's called a powerful one." Your fairy sword is called 'Songwen', right?Although it is a good quality fairy sword, it is still a little weaker than my Phantom Willow Sword, hahaha......"
Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "What is this Qin Yuejie talking nonsense? At that time, when the master passed on the Loose Pattern Sword and the Guding Sword with me and Brother Yao, he said that in addition to the top-grade immortal sword used by the elders, the Taiqing Sect belongs to our two high-grade immortal swords. Could it be that his Phantom Willow Sword is the best immortal sword? How could a disciple use such a good immortal sword, he must be talking nonsense. ”
Just thinking about it, Qin Yuejie didn't answer regardless of Tianxiao, and said a lot to himself: "Senior Brother He, I am only a little bit away from reaching the middle stage of harmony now, and our cultivation realm is actually about the same." Although my cultivation is not the top sword, it is also the second top, so the two of us are basically evenly matched. ”
"I only know that the top one in the sect is the "Source Shadow Sword Book", and I haven't heard of what the second top sword book is, so don't you want to bluff me. "Tianxiao is confused.
Qin Yuejie listened to Tianxiao's words, shook his head and laughed: "Senior Brother He, don't you know the 'Cunyi Sword Book'? Okay, without further ado, let's fight!"
Tianxiao couldn't cry or laugh: "You are the one who talks the most nonsense! After speaking, Tianxiao held the pine sword horizontally and put on a posture.
Qin Yuejie did not take the opponent directly with lightning speed as soon as he started the fight, like the opponent in the first two rounds of Tianxiao, but walked towards Tianxiao slowly as if he was strolling in the court, humming a little tune out of tune as he walked.
Tianxiao was simply confused by the second monk, and said in his heart, is this a fight or a outing? How did such an absent-minded guy get through the first few rounds?
Qin Yuejie got closer and closer, but Tianxiao became more and more nervous, and when the game reached the third round, he ran into such a strange opponent. If you rush over and start fighting, you can deal with it calmly. Walking slowly like this, there seems to be some mystery, but I can't guess it, which is even more unsettling. As the saying goes, the unknown opponent is the most terrifying.
Qin Yuejie took two steps in front of Tianxiao and stopped, but he didn't attack, but looked at Tianxiao with a smile. Tianxiao was so angry with him that he looked at him. In a moment, a bright smile bloomed on Qin Yuejie's face, and he raised his hand lightly and waved a sword move. It's really strange, Qin Yuejie is slow, and his sword moves are also slow, and it seems that his wrist doesn't seem to have any force at all. Can a move of this speed also rush into the fourth round? According to common sense, the more powerful a person, the faster, more accurate, and more ruthless the sword move. The soft sword moves can't even defend against others, let alone attack.
While wondering, Tianxiao directly blocked the pine sword in front of the slowly floating Phantom Willow Sword. Slowly, the Phantom Willow Sword collided with the Pine Sword. "Is the strength really so small? What kind of move is this?" Tianxiao even felt that as long as he made a move, he could knock Qin Yuejie off the stage with all the people and swords.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying force passed from the body of the Loose Pattern Sword to the hilt, and then to Tianxiao's hand. The Loose Pattern Sword almost got out of his hand, but fortunately, Tianxiao reacted very quickly, instantly gathered his spiritual power on his wrist, and held the Loose Pattern Sword tightly.
"What kind of power is this? It's so weird!" Tianxiao was surprised, and looked at Qin Yuejie with a smile with wide eyes and disbelief.
Everyone in the audience couldn't see that Qin Yuejie had used his dark strength just now, but they saw that the soft sword move lightly touched Tianxiao's sword, and Tianxiao's sword shook and didn't move.
"Sure enough, how can you enter the third round without two hits? Just the dark power contained in this soft sword move can make many people suffer a big loss. He himself has an innocent smile on his face, which is too easy to paralyze people's carelessness. This Qin Yuejie should not be underestimated. "Tianxiao eats a trench and grows wise, instantly dispelling the previous doubts and no longer being distracted.
"Hmph, what if you have dark energy, I just look at this sword move like the wind, how to resist it with your slow movements!" Tian Xiao thought to himself.
Just as he was about to make a move, Qin Yuejie suddenly withdrew the Phantom Willow Sword, stepped in front of Tianxiao, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Tianxiao, I like Senior Sister Xiaomin very much. But she's too indifferent to outsiders, can you help me say a few nice words in front of her?"
"Huh?" Tianxiao was stunned again, this Qin Yuejie was really inexplicable, and he still had the heart to think about these messy things during the fight.
Taking advantage of the moment when Tianxiao paused, Qin Yuejie stabbed Tianxiao's knee from below with another sword, Tianxiao hurriedly reversed the loose sword to separate the Phantom Willow Sword, of course, there was another dark power from the Phantom Willow Sword, this time Tianxiao was on guard and easily resolved.
As soon as the move ended, Qin Yuejie came up again and said: "Senior Brother Tianxiao, my third senior sister Jiang Yuxin asked me to tell you that she wants to invite you to the Qianhe Pavilion of Shuimi Peak at two o'clock tonight, to watch the stars and admire the moon together, drink and discuss the sword." ”
"Ah?huh?" Tianxiao was speechless, what kind of martial arts competition is this? Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Qin Yuejie's wrist, so Tianxiao subconsciously stepped back, and the Phantom Willow Sword slashed dangerously against his upper abdomen, cutting Tianxiao's clothes and flesh together.
This time, the people in the audience could see it clearly, Qin Yuejie's sword moves were slow at first, but when the tip of the sword touched Tianxiao's clothes, it suddenly accelerated, and the sword blade trembled, which was obviously the result of his integration of considerable spiritual power.
Tianxiao now finally understands why Qin Yuejie was able to break into the third round, with a harmless innocent smile on his face, his seemingly weak sword moves, and his constant distraction. As long as the opponent's attention is slightly distracted, he will use his not low cultivation and extremely hidden dark energy to seize the moment of the opponent's confusion to make a move, and defeat the opponent with the least skill, the greatest efficiency, and the highest possibility.
"Qin Yuejie's skills are not weak, and he came up with such a cunning fighting method, he is really an interesting person. Well, now that I understand your routine, I'll play with you today. Tianxiao smiled slyly, stabbed out five or six swords one after another with a wave of his hand, and said loudly at the same time: "It turns out that you like Senior Sister Xiaomin! Okay, I'll introduce you to her, whether you can catch her or not depends on your own efforts." ”
"What?" Qin Yuejie was taken aback by Tianxiao's words, just now he said that he liked Zhu Xiaomin, but in fact, it was to disturb Tianxiao's attention, and he said it in a low voice, and the people in the audience couldn't hear it at all. It's good now, being shouted at by Tianxiao, I'm afraid I'm going to become the target of everyone.
Sure enough, everyone in the audience just saw Qin Yuejie approaching Tianxiao, his lips moving, but they didn't know what he was talking about. Now that the content of what he said was exposed by Tianxiao, they immediately shouted at Qin Yuejie.
"Boy, are you thinking about this before your teeth grow?"
"I actually took advantage of the fact that I was close to Bivula, and quickly bombed him down!"
Qin Yuejie's face was flushed, he didn't say anything, he just quickly blocked Tianxiao's attack, in fact, his speed was not slow, he deliberately made others think that his sword moves were very slow. Now, in order to resist Tianxiao's attack, he can no longer hide his clumsiness. "Didn't I shoot myself in the foot......" Qin Yuejie was helpless, why did Tianxiao shout so loudly?
"Haha, this kid's face is red, it's funny. Tianxiao laughed while thinking.
Qin Yuejie blocked Tianxiao's sword attacking his ankle, looked up and saw the smile on the corner of Tianxiao's mouth, and suddenly a thought popped up in his mind: "He did it on purpose! Hmph, I'm the founding patriarch of this 'gibberish chatting and distracting Dafa', how can you win me with the same method so easily?" Qin Yuejie didn't come up to speak quietly, and said directly: "Senior Sister Xiaomin's flower and moon appearance, like a fairy descending to earth, I only have admiration for her, and I don't think anything more than anything. It's Senior Brother Tianxiao, my third senior sister Jiang Yuxin is delicate and sweet, and tender like water, not to mention that she really loves you, you can think about it!" he said as he quickly danced a few sword flowers towards Tianxiao.
The eyes of several of the disciples in the audience were all on a woman in an instant, and other people who didn't know also understood that the woman must be Jiang Yuxin.
Jiang Yuxin really likes Tianxiao, but she didn't tell Qin Yuejie. Unexpectedly, her junior brother was eccentric, and she guessed this from Jiang Yuxin's usual words. As Qin Yuejie's senior sister, Jiang Yuxin usually learns from him a lot, and his self-created 'gibberish chatting and distracting Dafa' also made her suffer, Qin Yuejie must be verbose as soon as she makes a move, sometimes she can bring two or three "Tianxiao Senior Brothers" in a sentence, and Jiang Yuxin is always blushing and in a hurry. But Jiang Yuxin never expected that Qin Yuejie would shout out in front of everyone. It's good now, it's a loss of adults, the girl's family is thin-skinned, everyone looks at her, she doesn't go, she doesn't go. I had to secretly spit in my heart: "Okay, you stinky boy, if you want to interfere with others, you can't make a fool of my heart......!
Tianxiao understood as soon as he heard it, Qin Yuejie was obviously taking revenge for the trick he had just made to him, and he must not eat him. So while breaking Qin Yuejie's sword flower, he said, "I'll think about it." Things have to be done slowly. We'll finish your business first, and then we'll get busy with mine. Senior Sister Xiaomin actually has a good temper, and there must be no problem for me to match. If you do what you want in the future, don't forget the credit of my big media. As soon as Tianxiao's voice fell, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze projected from somewhere in the audience that was about to kill people, and his heart trembled, thinking: "It's miserable, Xiaomin, this girl won't let me go after I go back." Alas, in order to quarrel with him, I can only be sorry for her......"
Qin Yuejie's face also thickened, and he replied: "Then I accept Senior Brother Tianxiao's kindness." But tonight, don't forget to go to my appointment with Senior Sister Jiang's Qianhe Pavilion......"
Before the words were finished, everyone looked at Jiang Yuxin again. Jiang Yuxin couldn't hold back anymore, and was so anxious that she shouted repeatedly: "Fake! Fake! He's talking nonsense!"
"Haha......" Everyone burst into laughter, and even the Nine Elders and Ten Elders who were watching the battle couldn't help but laugh.
Ninth Elder Lou Fuxin laughed: "I didn't expect these two people to fight with each other with martial arts, haha, I don't know who can win in the end?"
Ten Elder Liu Yunwei also twisted his beard with a smile and replied, "No matter who it is, it is considered a genius of my Taiqing Sect's 'civil and military skills'!"
Tianxiao has now completely mastered the essence of this 'gibberish chatting and distraction Dafa', and Qin Yuejie is even more proficient in this. If you are silent and let the other person talk, you will inevitably be upset and restless. So both of them talked nonsense, trying to interfere with each other's thoughts, and always reminded themselves not to be provoked by each other's words, so the two jointly staged this "cultural and martial arts" show on the battlefield, which caused the audience to laugh constantly.
While thinking about how to attack, how to defend with the opponent's sword moves, and thinking about how to interfere with the opponent with more intonal sentences, he also reminded himself that what the other party said was nonsense. Such a single-minded and four-purpose is more tiring than a simple fight.
Finally, when the unitary hour was about to be reached, the winner of this long-lasting battle was decided. The multi-purpose Tianxiao took down Qin Yuejie, who was also multi-purpose, with difficulty. Qin Yuejie did not lose in the end in Tianxiao's verbal interference, but lost in the sword move after his spiritual power was exhausted. Tianxiao stood panting in the center of the stage, his clothes were in tatters, and the wound was leaking with bloodstains, holding a loose sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword was pointed directly at the forehead of Qin Yuejie, who was sitting on the ground. Qin Yuejie was also out of breath, his clothes were scratched and bloodstained, and the Phantom Willow Sword also fell to the side.
Both of them were tired and their mouths were dry, and the fight lasted for nearly an hour, and the two of them also talked nonsense for nearly an hour. From personal feelings to the love of teachers and brothers, and then to the feelings of master and apprentice, to the elders, Taiqing Sect, Taiqing Patriarch, other sects, Baijian Patriarch...... The two of them reviewed the entire development process of cultivating immortals together in almost an hour. Now that the winner is decided, the two are silent.
Qin Yuejie got up from the ground and walked off the battle platform with Tianxiao, and the two of them said one word in unison: "Water!" Immediately, two cups of fragrant tea were handed over. Both of them drank it in one gulp, it was not enough, it was full, and then it was not enough, and it was not enough, and it continued to be full...... The competition originally consumed water in their bodies, and they kept talking for so long, Tianxiao and Qin Yuejie were so thirsty that they felt like they had just come out of the desert, their throats were about to smoke, and they drank more than ten cups of tea in one go, and the two of them eased up.
Qin Yuejie walked over and patted Tianxiao on the shoulder: "It's the first time I've met an opponent in this 'nonsense, chatting, distracting Dafa', senior brother, you learn really fast." The two of us are really chess opponents, and we will meet good materials. This time I lost in the sword move, but the eloquence of the two of us has not yet divided the winner and loser. Next time I have a chance, I will definitely come back to compare......" Qin Yuejie seemed to be very unwilling.
"I'll admit you're eloquent, okay, it's hard work with you, I don't want to suffer any more. "Tianxiao feels tired when he thinks about it, where is this martial arts competition, it is simply mental torture.
Qin Yuejie originally wanted to say a few more words, but Jiang Yuxin walked out behind him and dragged him away by the ear. The crowd laughed again.
On April 23rd, it was the third round of the Yuanying War, and in order to prepare for the upcoming battle of the top four, Tianxiao and Tianyao had been recuperating and recovering in Zhuyuan. After Xiao Liying won the victory and advanced to the fourth round, she came to Zhuyuan to visit Tianxiao. The battle between Tianxiao and Qin Yuejie, which was rare in the world, had already spread in the sect.
April 24 is another day off. On this day, in the main hall, the battle table for the 26th and the final four of the peace was announced. Looking at the scroll, both Tianxiao and Tianyao frowned.
