Chapter Twenty-Six: The Covenant Comes
The peak of Jianyu Island, washing the sword and cold pool. The Washing Sword Pond is only three zhang square, but it reflects the starry light in the sky, and it seems that all the stars in the sky have fallen into this small pool. In front of the cold pool, seven sharp swords were lined up side by side, all of which were inserted upside down on the ground, and the water light and starlight reflected the sword light.
In front of the swords, Ren Jiuxiao stood outstanding, handsome, tall, with his eyes slightly closed, but his whole body exuded a fierce aura, which was even colder than the sword light behind him.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, not hurried, but firm, still loud in the silent night. Ren Jiuxiao heard the sound of footsteps, his eyes suddenly opened, and he emitted a compelling battle intent, and the sword light behind him seemed to light up.
"I've been waiting for you for too long, it's finally here!" Ren Jiuxiao made a move, and a sword rose from his back and flew into his palm, "Come on! In an instant, it has pierced the eyebrows of the comer.
After the person came with both hands, he didn't block or dodge, Ren Jianfeng stopped at the center of his eyebrows, and a drop of bright red blood beaded out, and the young and handsome face of the person who was reflected in the sword light of Sen Ran.
"I'm not here to fight you. Ying Fei's eyes were like a cold pool, and he said calmly: "Listen to me." ”
"Why bother to say more, between you and me, if there is anything to say, you should say it on the sword!" Ren Jiuxiao spit out the sword strength, and all the hair that should fly down his forehead flew backwards, and the blood beads in his eyebrows grew from small to large, winding along the side of his nose. Ying Feiyang's face did not change, and he smiled calmly: "I also wanted to fight with you a long time ago, but unfortunately I can't." Then he stretched out his hand flat.
Ren Jiuxiao's face was suspicious, and he also stretched out his hand to Ying Feiyang's palm, as soon as he took the palm, Ren Jiuxiao's face changed, and his delicate face was distorted by anger, and he said angrily: "Your true anger?"
Ying Feiyang smiled bitterly: "I ate the wrong thing, and I won't be able to use it in the next two days." "Ying Feiyang! You!" Ren Jiuxiao's anger erupted, and his palm was lightly spit, and he shook Ying Feiyang a few steps.
"Since you can't fight me, leave the sword behind, you get out. Ren Jiuxiao suppressed his anger and said coldly. Ying Feiyang swallowed a mouthful of sweet blood in his throat and said, "What if I can let you fight to the fullest?" Ren Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows, as if he had moved, Ying Feiyang continued: "You and I have grievances, we shouldn't involve others, it's not easy for outer disciples to learn swords, why should you cut off their way up." ”
Ren Jiuxiao said coldly: "Lack of qualifications, uncertain temperament, and poor bones, they shouldn't be able to use swords at all, which will break their obsession early and save them from making mistakes for a lifetime." If you want to rely on them to win over me, it is better to die as soon as possible, for if I am boasting or they are on the same page, they will not hurt me in the slightest. ”
Ying Feiyang said with a smile: "In this case, do you believe that tomorrow when they fight you, I will give a few words of advice, and let them be reborn, if you lose a move and a half, don't be embarrassed, let us enter the pavilion, how about it?"
Ren Jiuxiao chuckled: "Sounds interesting, if they can really surprise me once, I don't mind letting them into the pavilion." It's just ......" Ren Jiuxiao's words turned, the ridicule in his eyes changed to Sen Ran's anger, he looked directly at Ying Feiyang, and said sharply: "What are you! Although they are useless and useless, but facing me with a sword, it is a fight for life, a gamble of life and death, what about you? But standing behind and moving your mouth, you want to come up with a mouth to bet on this life-fighting game? Ying Feiyang, if you lose your true qi, you will even lose the arrogance of the swordsman!"
Ying Feiyang's eyes were cold when he heard this, like a sword's gaze directly facing Ren Jiuxiao, and his momentum was not weak at all: "What bet I want to take, you will naturally know tomorrow, and I will let you see it then, and I will never lose half a point to you when it comes to the spirit of the sword!
Ren Jiuxiao let out a sneer like a night owl and said, "That's it, after waiting for two years, I don't mind waiting for you for one more day, but tomorrow you don't let me down again." Then he stared at it and played with the taste: "It turns out that there are still people coming, this one has a bit of an appearance." ”
Ying Feiyang followed his gaze, and a person walked forward steadily, appearing in front of him, his face was pale, his hair was yellow, and he seemed to be sickly, but there was a faint layer of fire wrapped around his body, and with his long breath and breath, the fire on his body was also bright and extinguished like a wind, illuminating his face uncertainly, and it was Ming Ye who came. Ying Feiyang chuckled and said, "Just now, you look down on all the outer disciples, you can take this back now." ”
"It's too early!" Ren Jiuxiao snorted, pointed at the mountain rock on his side in the distance, and said loudly: "The waste over there, since you don't fight and don't fight, retreat and don't retreat, then I'm going to let him cut the queue first!"
Looking at the mountain rock over there, it was Nan Ba who walked out of the shadow behind the mountain rock, his temperament was shriveled, his head was lowered, and his face was as shy as if covered with a layer of firelight, dragging a low pace to Ying Feiyang's side.
At this time, Ming Ye had already arrived in front of him, but he ignored everyone, and walked straight to the pavilion along the stone path, Ren Jiuxiao's figure flickered, and the horizontal sword stopped in front of Ming Ye and said: "Give you two roads, go down the mountain with him, and gather a few defeated dogs to fight me tomorrow." Ren Jiuxiao pointed to Ying Feiyang. "Or, catch me with ten swords and don't fall. The sword in Ren Jiuxiao's hand trembled with joy, and the sparkling sword light jumped on the pool.
The fire on Ming Ye's body grew, but his eyes were still cold and scary, ignoring Ren Jiuxiao's horizontal sword in front of him, and stepping on the stone road again. "There is only one road ahead of me. ”
Just when the two of them were tense, Ying Feiyang turned his head and went down the mountain, Nanba was stunned for a moment and then followed, and asked, "Don't you watch the battle?" Ying Feiyang shook his head and said: "The result is clear, there is no need to watch it, and it saves Ren Jiuxiao from saying that I will take the opportunity to spy on his sword path." Ying Feiyang knew that Ming Ye had hidden strength, even though he was still much inferior to Ren Jiuxiao, but it was not difficult to take over the ten swords.
"That...... You really don't need your true qi?" Nan Ba wanted to speak several times, but finally made up his mind to ask. Since it has been broken, there is no need to hide it, and although Ying Feiyang has only met Nanba twice, he can also see that although he looks like a philistine and slick, he is actually very righteous, and he will not have any evil intentions, so he nodded and said: "Well, I can't use it for the time being, and I will probably recover after tomorrow." ”
Nanba smiled bitterly, looked at the sword in his hand and muttered, "In this way, this sword was really taken by me by force, so I'll give it back to you." Nanba handed the sword in his hand to Ying Feiyang, and Ying Feiyang was stunned and said: "What are you doing, it is also your chance to get the double jade of heaven and earth, and I also have a sword." ”
Nanba shook his head and sighed, "I'll give it back to you, I don't want to use a sword anymore anyway." Ying Feiyang was surprised: "What do you mean by this?"
"I have seen Ren Jiuxiao's swordsmanship. Nanba raised his head, but his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul, "I dared to ask you to fight in the morning, I thought I had the consciousness of a swordsman, but after seeing Ren Jiuxiao's swordsmanship, I knew that my consciousness was just from the fearlessness of the ignorant." I saw that he defeated another outer disciple in an instant, and I realized that some people were born specifically to learn swords, and even if I practiced all my life, I couldn't catch up with their backs, so I hid behind the rocks, wanting to challenge him, but I couldn't take a single step......"
Nan Ba said dejectedly: "You are right, Kunming's swordsmanship is a wanton and majestic, vertical and horizontal sword, people like me should not use this kind of swordsmanship, Ren Jiuxiao is right, people with insufficient qualifications, uncertain temperament, and poor roots should not operate swords at all, and make mistakes for a lifetime." The sword test was not the place I should have been. ”
Ying Feiyang was silent for a while, but did not dissuade him, but said: "Since this is the case, then return the sword to me." Nan Bayi was stunned, handed the sword out flatly, but couldn't let go of the hilt, as if he felt that if his palm was empty, the life had become empty, at this time, the sharp gaze like a sword pierced his empty eyes, "Are you unwilling?" Ying Feiyang spit out a word in front of him, but it seemed to echo in his empty body.
"Sword practice is sword practice, no matter what qualifications and qualifications? I practice sword because I like swords, even if I am a crappy swordsman all my life. What about you, just because you may not be able to reach the top, you gave up the way of the sword, are you willing?" Under the scorching gaze, Nan Ba was a little panicked and confused, wanting to escape from Ying Feiyang's gaze, but Ying Feiyang turned around and walked forward, and said: "Tomorrow I want a few helpers to fight Ren Jiuxiao, you can do me a favor, continue to fight with the sword, and wait for you to understand, and then decide whether to return the sword to me." ”
At this time, the battle on the top of the mountain was also coming to an end, Ming Ye was injured in many places, panting, although he fell to the wind, he was defeated but not defeated, and his eyes were cold as usual.
On the contrary, it was Ren Jiuxiao, although he was still in a sneering posture, but there was a trace of appreciation in his eyes, although the person in front of him was still inferior to him, he was also a good player among his peers, and even better than some of his own disciples. It is necessary to know that the biggest gap between the disciples and the outer disciples is that the guides on the kendo are different, the disciples are all taught by the first elders, and with the guidance of these famous teachers, they are undoubtedly standing on the shoulders of giants, and the masters of the outer disciples, except for the incomprehensible number of hardship, are all some mediocre talents who have been sent down the mountain because they have not become a weapon.
And Ming Ye lacks the guidance of a famous teacher, he can still practice swordsmanship to such a realm, obviously the heart and bone talent are all first-class, what he owes is just chance, if he is allowed to enter the door wall, there will be one more master in Lingxiao Kendo in the future. Thinking of this, Ren Jiuxiao said: "Nine swords, catch one more sword, and you will be allowed to enter the pavilion." ”
Ming Ye didn't say a word, indifferently wiped the blood on his lips, leaned his sword on the ground, pulled the underground fire vein, and a fire ring centered on the two of them instantly appeared on the ground.
"Good move!" This move uses pure yang true fire to attract the earth's qi, which is equivalent to increasing the power several times, Ren Jiuxiao also admired, did not dare to hold it up, pointed in front with one hand, twisted the sword in the back with the other, and condensed the tip of the sword with a murderous aura, Yu actually put on a posture of drawing a bow and shooting arrows, which was the sun-shooting swordsmanship made when the title of the heavenly list that day, at the same time, the fireball wrapped in the sword of Ming Ye fell suddenly, and Ren Jiuxiao said: "Open!"
Then the sword in his hand came out of his hand as if it was shot out, with a whistling wind towards Ming Ye, the fireball was huge, but the swordsmanship of shooting the sun was a line of qi, and the long sword was inserted into the fireball, but when he heard the "boom", the fire flowed in all directions, and after Hao Guang shone his eyes, Ming Ye had fallen to the ground, and there was a sword on his shoulder.
"It's a pity that you lost. Ren Jiuxiao sighed lightly, "Not necessarily." Ming Ye snorted coldly, and suddenly saw that the fire flow in the sky was actually dispersed but not dissipated, from large to small, into dozens of small fireballs descending like meteors, the fireballs seemed to be complicated, but in fact they were orderly, and the number of celestial stars was secretly combined, and it was clearly a move to win in defeat.
"Careless!" Ren Jiuxiao was slightly surprised, and secretly said in his heart, because the sword was not in his hand, he couldn't be hard-connected, so he immediately stepped on the star bucket and cast the star Luo Qi step, Xuan Ao's smooth figure moved in the fire rain, the fire rain hit the ground, and the sound was muffled and emitted a burst of smoke and gunpowder, and after the fire rain, he saw that Ming Ye had already walked to the front of the pavilion, pulled out the sword on his shoulder, stuck it upside down on the ground, and stepped forward into the pavilion at the same time.
"I want to enter the pavilion without the permission of others!"
Ren Jiuxiao chuckled lightly and said, "You, leave your name." ”
"Mingye. "Ming Ye's injury was not light, and even after sealing the acupoint on his shoulder, he sat down cross-legged as if no one was around.
"I remember you. Ren Jiuxiao said loudly and wrote down the name.
ps: It's so difficult to write that part of the mouth, and I feel that the breath of the day is heavier, embarrassed
