Chapter 22: Knife Sky Mountain

Hearing that Luo Qinghan had raised Hong Chen's sword technique above the Yunmo Sect and the Beihai Kunlun Sect, none of the people in the long street were not surprised.

They witnessed Hong Chen's fierce battle against Tianyun Sanmeng, and admitted that his sword skills were superb, and there were few enemies in the martial arts. However, the inheritance of sword techniques of the major schools has gone through the test of time, creating many martial arts masters, and the "Sword Emperor" on Yunwu Mountain is known as a peerless swordsman who is rare in a century, and his fame is still above the "sword maniac" Luo Qinghan. How can it be said that Hong Chen's sword art school is better than the Yunmo School and the Beihai Kunlun Sect?

Several Yunmo Sect disciples were the most indignant, and opened their mouths to refute. Qi Yue stretched out his index finger to his lips, signaled them not to speak, put down his fingers again, and said softly: "This senior Luo has always been indulgent, and sometimes the description is inevitably exaggerated, and everyone can't take it seriously. ”

A junior disciple couldn't help but ask: "But if he is really arrogant and free by nature, why did he join the Guiyi Division and become the commander of the Purple Guard?"

Qi Yue shook his head and did not answer.

Hong Chen looked at Luo Qinghan a little confused: "Your words are too winding, there are many words I don't understand." But I'm guessing you're complimenting me. ”

Luo Qinghan smiled and said: "Simple-minded, no wonder at a young age, I have practiced the unparalleled sword technique of returning to the basics." Who taught you how to use the sword?"

Hong Chen said: "No one has passed on my sword technique. ”

A purple-clothed guard raised his head and shouted, "Commander, he's talking nonsense! When we were in ambush at that time, I heard him say clearly on the stone bridge that he had a master who lived in a bamboo hut in the middle of nowhere. ”

Hong Chen turned his head to look at him: "Big brother, I have a master, but he has not passed on my sword technique. ”

Luo Qinghan asked: "What did he pass on your internal strength?"

Hong Chen turned his head and said: "There is no internal strength?" My master only taught me how to raise bamboo rats. ”

Luo Qinghan's pair of long eyebrows furrowed: "You trick me." ”

"I really didn't lie to you, my master only taught me to raise bamboo rats. Hong Chen continued to deny it, and then asked in turn, "Does someone have to teach the sword technique?"

"Not necessarily. My swordsmanship is my own creation. Luo Qinghan nodded, and stared at Hong Chen suspiciously, "Could it be that your sword technique was also created by you?"

Hong Chen shook his head: "I don't know how to use swords." ”

Everyone on the long street, including Luo Qinghan, was stunned.

Luo Qinghan snorted and said, "Seeing that you look honest and honest, I thought you wouldn't be able to fool people." It turns out that you lied without blinking. Holding the sword in his right hand, he raised it, and the blade of the sword pointed at Hong Chen: "If you don't say it, don't worry, my sword will ask for it." ”

Hong Chen was used to telling the truth but was regarded as lying by others, and he didn't refute Luo Qinghan, he only sighed.

This sigh seemed to Luo Qinghan, but it was undoubtedly a contempt and provocation when he took the challenge, and immediately said to the purple-clothed guards: "Give him a knife!"

Immediately, a purple-clothed guard came over with a three-foot steel knife with a sharp blade in both hands. Ji Cha suddenly opened his mouth and said, "This is just an ordinary steel knife. Luo Qinghan, what you have in your hand is the famous sword 'withered green tree', dividing gold and jade, sharpening iron like mud, how can it be fair?"

Luo Qinghan said: "Not bad. But I like my sword and don't want to use another sword. Then he said to the purple-clothed guards, "Take your best sword!"

Ji Cha raised his hand and waved: "No, I have a knife here." He took off the bamboo basket behind his back, uncovered the sackcloth, reached out and groped for a few times, and took out a two-foot short knife that was as black as ink.

"This knife is called 'Empty Mountain', it is cast from a whole piece of refined iron, it is extremely hard, it ranks thirty-seventh in the Yunzhou weapon spectrum, and it was once a heirloom treasure hidden in the secret vault by the leader of the Iron Fist Gang, and it was 'borrowed' by me twenty days ago. ”

Ji Cha talked about the origin of the black short knife, and his slender fingers brushed the knife, and everyone saw that the knife had no blade.

Seeing this, Ma Sihai hurriedly said: "This knife is only on the weapon spectrum because of its good material, and it doesn't even have a blade, how to use a weapon?" Brother Ji Cha, you can change the knife to Brother Hongchen." ”

Zha Yugui scolded: "What do you know? The sharper the sword, the better, but I don't know that 'the heavy sword has no edge, and the great skill does not work'!"

On the side, Zhang Zichai also said: "The knife skills of the little brother Hongchen are not very sharp in the first place, and he rarely uses the blade to fight the enemy, and he often lacks the offensive and is more than enough to defend, so it is indeed appropriate to use this knife." ”

After Hong Chen took over the "Empty Mountain", Ji Cha patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Take my knife, you will definitely be able to defeat Luo Qinghan and become famous in martial arts once!" But he was thinking in his heart, and after a while, other people's attention was attracted by the sword fight between Hong Chen and Luo Qinghan, and he just slipped away.

There is a way that "dead friends do not die in poverty", not to mention that Hong Chen himself has not committed anything, and he is not guilty of being arrested and taken away by the Guiyi Division, at most he was tortured in the process, and he invited him to eat a full Kyushu banquet, which is worthy of him - how many people dream of being beaten up to change a full Kyushu banquet.

But as soon as this idea came out, Ji Cha found that Tianyun Sanmeng had stood beside him at some point, and suddenly he felt bitter again.

Everyone on the long street consciously moved away from Hongchen and Luo Qinghan, leaving a place more than ten zhang long. Luo Qinghan didn't say a word, and suddenly stabbed straight with his sword, and the thin blade like a cicada's wings was almost invisible in the night.

Hong Chen raised his hand and waved his knife, seemingly slashing into the air, but it hit a bright spark. Luo Qinghan suddenly put away his sword and stabbed again, and Hong Chen calmly swung his knife and blocked again. One is a sword that is so thin that it is fast and transparent, one sword after another, and the other is a knife that is so black that it blends with the night, one knife after another. The people on the long street could no longer see the sword and sword, and could only see the hands of two people as fast as meteors in the sky.

Gradually, a broken sword qi knife flow burst out, smashing the stone slabs on the street and the cornices on both sides. After a hundred moves, two hundred moves, no one won or lost. Many people stared at it: a little-known young man was on an equal footing with the famous swordsman in Kyushu! Tianyun Sanmeng, Zha Yugui and the others could see at the beginning that Luo Qinghan was holding his strength and had been testing Hong Chen's tricks. But gradually they found that it seemed that every time Luo Qinghan added more strength to attack, Hong Chen could also add another strength to defend.

Even Qi Yue looked at it for a long time, and said to his junior brothers and sisters: "The defense of the bamboo cutter is simply leaky, he does not have a single superfluous action that is wasted, and he uses his body and knife to the extreme." Compared with him, we always follow the knife routine and use the knife, and the mind and body can never forget those one-by-one moves, and will do a lot of useless work. Regardless of the school of knife technique, the means we use the knife are indeed inferior to him. However, there is no need to be presumptuous, we practice hard, practice diligently, and practice the Yunmo School Sword Technique to an extremely advanced level, and we can also win without moves. ”

Yu Wengang has been staring at Hong Chen and Luo Qinghan's comings and goings, and can't help but say: "I don't know if it's a little girl or a little master, it's really amazing, it seems that you haven't done your best when you fight with us." ”

Yu Wenyong said: "No, no, he did his best at that time. Otherwise, why don't you just defeat us and drag it out until someone helps him. ”

Yu Wengang said: "But he can resist Commander Luo! Forget it, the three of us didn't even hold up five moves in front of Commander Luo that time." ”

Yu Wenyong said again: "This is not simple? Commander Luo deliberately let him!"

Yuwen Gang glared: "You're wrong, Commander Luo let him at first, but now he doesn't let him." ”

The two began to argue with each other again, and they both felt that they were very reasonable, but Yu Wenmeng had more ideas in his mind.

Hong Chen's strength is stronger now than when he fought with him, but it is not that he has made great progress in a short period of time, but the three brothers have not forced him to be stronger.

His sword skills are almost all defensive moves, and he has no offensive ability. Fighting him is a bit like beating a ball of cotton. With 10 percent of the strength, it can't be broken; with 30 percent of the strength, it can't be broken; with 10 percent of the strength, it still can't be broken.

But unlike beating cotton, Hong Chen can take defense as an offense and return the offensive he has endured. The harder you attack him, the greater the backlash. The three brothers were able to stalemate with him for a long time before, thanks to tacit cooperation, and each other defused the rebound offensive. If you fight one-on-one, or change to three masters of the same level who fight separately, you will already be defeated.

At this time, the momentum of Hong Chen and Luo Qinghan's battle became more and more powerful, every time the swords collided, it was like lightning and thunder, the streets and houses had been destroyed by the aftermath, and the splashed smoke and dust were everywhere, gradually blocking everyone's sight.
