Chapter 40 Zhao Ping of Longhu Mountain
After two rounds, only 16 of the 64 participants remained.
The performance of the Dragon Tiger Mountain and Maoshan faction in this round of the competition was eye-catching, and if it wasn't for the disciples of the upper sect, they were almost rarely eliminated. Among the top 16, eleven or two people were disciples of the two factions. Among the rest of the people, in addition to Li Qiang, there were only three disciples of the Tang Dynasty Mansion left.
In the sixteen-to-eight game, Li Qiang played against Zhao Ping, and the two had already entered the ring.
Cui Yixuan, who was sitting in the stands, had a sinking expression, he now knew Li Qiang's name, and he also saw the two games in front of Li Qiang. In addition, what surprised him even more was that Li Qiang, who was of unknown origin, seemed to have a lot to do with the royal family.
Princess Jinyang can directly call out his name, and she looks very intimate. Not only that, after he came to power, even the emperor's and the prince's expressions of watching the game became serious.
How does an adventurer have a relationship with the royal family, and how can his strength surpass that of the disciples of Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain?
Cui Yixuan didn't have a clue, he thought silently in his heart, hoping that Zhao Ping would be able to solve the trouble in front of him.
It would be nice if Wang Chang locked it up. But why was he delayed on the road?
The Wang Changsuo that Cui Yixuan was thinking of in his heart was the senior brother among the disciples of the outer sect of Longhu Mountain. Even a few veterans of Longhu Mountain said that this person has excellent roots and bones, and within three or five years, he will be able to enter the eighth rank of the Taiqing Realm.
Even if this person named Li Qiang is capable, he will not surpass Wang Changsuo.
Li Qiang and Zhao Ping in the ring were ready, and after a gong sounded, the game began.
At this time, Zhao Ping's expression was very different from when he belittled Li Qiang in the ring, he pulled out his sword and said to Li Qiang seriously: "I didn't expect us to meet so soon." Congratulations, although your trick to defeat Zhang Wei has a lot of luck component, you have still become an opponent that I Zhao Ping takes seriously. ”
Li Qiang was a little speechless, how did Zhao Ping see that he had a lot of luck in winning Zhang Wei?
The style of Zhao Ping's sword is almost the same as Zhang Wei's, but the gemstones set on it are slightly different. There is a blue gem on the gauntlet of Zhang Wei's sword, which dances and has a light blue fluorescence. The gems inlaid on the gauntlets of Zhao Ping's sword are larger, and the color is extremely transparent green.
Zhao Ping held a sword in his right hand, and he was not in a hurry to attack, but as if he was showing off his skills, he jumped up and down in the ring and played swordsmanship.
Zhao Ping's sword moves and Zhang Wei are one of the peerless "Zhengyi Sword Techniques" in Longhu Mountain, at this time, where the long sword goes, dragging the emerald green sword in mid-air, as the sword moves dance faster and faster, in a blink of an eye, the green light has converged into a piece.
"Senior Brother Zhao is good at swordsmanship!"
"Senior Brother Zhao's swordsmanship is exquisite!"
When the brothers and sisters of Longhu Mountain saw Zhao Ping's performance, they all cheered.
Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but yawn when Tang Emperor Li Shimin didn't pay attention to himself.
Today's game, if His Majesty wasn't there, he wouldn't have attended. At this moment, the one-on-one players on the stage are playing hard, and there is suspense in the eyes of others. And as long as he senses it at will with his true qi, he knows that except for Li Qiang, there is no one present who can fight.
On the contrary, this self-proclaimed famous junior, named Zhao Ping, is very noisy.
What a boring game.
Zhao Ping is known as the first swordsman in the outer sect of Longhu Mountain, and his swordsmanship is indeed a level higher than Zhang Wei's, but it is only one level.
Just like the speed of Li Qiang's sword's flight, whether it is as fast as four snails or as fast as five snails, there is not much difference in essence.
Zhao Ping finished the swordsmanship dance, half-knelt and made a long sword pointing at the sky, and said a little breathlessly: "Whew... Call... , that kid named Li Qiang, you must already know my strength.
I see that you also have some Taoism, but the Kongtong faction is not my Taoist sect after all, and its strength is much worse than mine. Call...
Today's game, life or death, you surrender now, you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin, whew... Call.... ”
"That Senior Brother Zhao, I am the Pingliang faction, not the Kongtong faction. Li Qiang corrected in a low voice, for fear that his voice would be loud, causing Zhao Ping to breathe unevenly and turn his back on his breath.
"I don't care which sect you are, surrender quickly, master, I will spare you from dying!" Zhao Ping saw that Li Qiang was stupid and couldn't find the point of his words, and immediately became angry: "Since you don't know how to lift like this, show your sword!"
Li Qiang had no choice, one punch in front and one punch in the back, his feet were slightly wider than his shoulders, in a figure-eight shape, and he turned sideways to meet the enemy: "I don't have a weapon, so let's fight like this." ”
Li Qiang's swing is the basic starting style of the inner family boxing method in the Pingliang Jue.
The first step of Pingliang is to recultivate the mind, and the Tao is natural. The second is internal force, Li Qiang practiced the Guiyuan Mind Method for fifteen or six years, and he was able to defeat the alliance of the strongest dozen shamans on the grassland, and now he is only one step away from reaching the realm of immortals.
But in terms of Pingliang Jue, there are very few methods of practicing fists and feet, just a starting momentum and three or five changes. There are even fewer weapons, and all kinds of weapons only correspond to a very tongue-twisting formula.
The master did not explain, only said that the time had not yet come.
Li Qiang once suspected that this was just a pretext from the master, and the actual situation was that the master could not afford to buy weapons. So it wasn't until a few days ago that Li Qiang got the Dragon Sword that he had the first sword in his life.
But now he can't even resist the sword, and he can't make a sword move, so he has to go into the ring with his bare hands.
"You are looking for death!" Zhao Ping's furious expression was overflowing, he knew that Li Qiang was also a member of the Dao Sect, and this cultivator still didn't know how to use swordsmanship and weapons? This kid obviously looked down on him Zhao Ping!
Zhao Ping rushed towards Li Qiang, and in anger, he didn't spare his hand, and the sword was raised high and slashed straight at Li Qiang's head.
Li Qiang is a little familiar with this action, Zhang Wei seemed to be this move just now, but he was kicked out of the court with a sweeping leg. But now the two of them are still in the center of the ring, and the same method has no effect except for making Zhao Ping fall on his heels.
Zhao Ping's sword was already very close, and Li Qiang swung his fist to meet it, but it was hammered with a mist of light before approaching.
The green sword rays swung by Zhao Ping's sword blade seemed to have substance, and it actually hindered Li Qiang's fist strength for a while.
Could it be that he has been hiding his strength, but he can actually release his true qi? Li Qiang was taken aback by this idea of his own. I added a little more strength in my hand, and I wanted to try what this layer of sword light was.
Under the continuous force, the sword light and mist shattered in response, and Li Qiang took advantage of the victory to pursue, and hammered Zhao Ping's right forearm holding the sword with a punch.
Under Li Qiang's punch, the domineering punch dissolved Zhao Ping's sword move.
Zhao Ping's body bounced back, and he took a few steps back before he stabilized his footing. Li Qiang smashed the barrier of his sword with one punch, which was formed by inlaid with a cherished jade stone worth hundreds of gold. Moreover, after breaking the barrier, the strength of Li Qiang's fist had not yet been exhausted, and Zhao Ping's forearm was so painful and numb that he was almost unable to hold the sword.
Zhao Ping understood, he miscalculated Li Qiang's strength. Zhang Wei was not unlucky to lose to him, Li Qiang's fist was faster and heavier than he expected, and he couldn't dodge it at all.
If he didn't have an enchantment just now, and his forearm was directly hammered by Li Qiang, I'm afraid it would have been scrapped now.
That damn Cui Yixuan, before the game started, changed the rule to life and death!
If Zhao Ping has the upper hand in the game at this time, he will definitely not have any objections to the change of the rules of the game. But now that the form was reversed, he only felt a chill down his spine, and even imagined that the enchantment was shattered, Li Qiang hit his arm with a punch, his palm and sword fell to the ground together, and blood gushed out.
Zhao Ping forcibly settled down, and said in his heart, I will never let this kind of thing happen.
Li Qiang and Zhao Ping had only been facing each other for two rounds just now, and Zhao Ping took a few steps back and fixed there, stopping the offensive.
Li Qiang didn't know what he was thinking, but when he was thinking about the next move, he couldn't help but take two steps forward, thinking that once Zhao Ping made a move, he would take the lead.
Zhao Ping saw Li Qiang take two more steps towards him, thinking that he was about to rush up.
The feeling of paralysis on Zhao Ping's right arm is far from subsiding, and if he gets another punch, it is estimated that he will lose this arm forever. In a hurry, Zhao Ping hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"
