Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Mystery of the Heavenly Sword

"The third formation of the martial arts elite conference, the martial artist of the Goryeo Kingdom Li Xiuyan against the pioneer of our dynasty Li Huan, officially began!"

With the referee Lin Nanfeng's loud shout, the sound of gongs and drums, two sharp figures, one left and one right, flashed into the ring.

In the ring, a man and a woman, two genius swordsmen, stood opposite each other.

"I didn't expect it to be you. Li Xiuyan said lightly.

"I didn't expect that either. Li Huan lowered his head, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and after a long time, he still couldn't help but say, "Senior sister, you ...... How have you been doing all these years?"

"Don't call me Senior Sister, before you defeat me. Li Xiuyan said quietly: "You still call me "one". ”

"Okay, One, I'm ready, this time, I'll let you lose by my sword. ”

Li Huan raised his head, and in those dark eyes, there was no longer the slightest hesitation and weakness, replaced by the sharp edge of a lone swordsman!

"Old rules?" asked Li Xiuyan.

"The old rules. Li Huan said awe-inspiringly.

However, the two remained motionless and did not draw their swords.

Whoa!

One after another, the powerful sword sect's internal strength roared out, and then, with the two of them as the center, it suddenly spread out, forming two pale golden oval sword curtains!

The two remained still.

However, in the void around the ring, cracks like knives and axes faintly appeared, and there were constantly sharp metal crashing sounds, as if there were ghosts fighting in the void, and it was strange to look at.

At this time, some civil servants who didn't know martial arts were confused, and they didn't know what kind of mystery these two were doing, so Li Daoguang frowned even more, and he was sweating all over.

On the right side of the stands, a delicate girl rested her legs on the teenager next to her, eating apples, and staring intently at the stage.

It is Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess of the Great Xuan Empire, and her Monarch Lang.

According to Xiao Wan'er's request, this time, they did not take a seat in the royal array, but specially found a remote seat, the purpose is naturally self-evident, this girl doesn't want to see her third sister again!

"What are they doing, are they staring at each other?" Xiao Wan'er asked curiously.

"If that's the case, I'll be able to go up too, look at me!" the little girl said, a pair of starry beautiful eyes widened, staring directly at Li Ran, really without blinking!

Only then did Li Ran react and explained: "The princess misunderstood, they were competing with swords. ”

"Than ...... Cheap?"

Xiao Wan'er seemed to have heard something terrible, her eyes widened, and after a long reaction, Li Ran said that it should be "comparing swords", and couldn't help but ask again: "But their swords are not out of the sheath, how can they compare?"

"They are not compared to the sword of reality, but to the sword of the heart, or ...... Sword Intent?Well, that's probably it. ”

Li Ran said thoughtfully: "The four pillars of martial arts, "heart", "body", "qi", and "style", although there are many martial arts inheritances in the world, they have not been born out of these four fields, at most their respective focuses are differentβ€”β€”"

"For example, Xie Huan's sword combination technique before was focused on "style", and Wu Kun... Oh no, that wild boar essence is obsessed with refining the "body", as for the Dongying ninja, the reason why his strength is strong is because he perfectly coordinates the "heart", "qi" and "style" in his martial arts system to an extremely compatible state. ”

As for the current Li Huan and the princess of the Goryeo Kingdom, they are using some kind of advanced sword sect mental method to refine their hearts and souls, and the sword intent in the "heart" is embodied and stimulated. ”

After listening to Li Ran's explanation, Xiao Wan'er nodded, and then a pair of big eyes full of curiosity kept approaching Li Ran, getting closer and closer, and they were about to touch his head!

Li Ran took a step back and exclaimed, "Princess...... What are you doing here?"

"No, I've heard people say that the eyes are connected to the brain, I want to try to see through your eyes whether you have an encyclopedia in your brain!

Xiao Wan'er looked at him very seriously.

Hearing this, Li Ran was shocked in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "The princess thinks too much, I only learned about this a few days ago, and my understanding of martial arts was also extremely superficial before. ”

"The other day, when I heard you say that, it seems like these words...... I've heard of it too. Xiao Wan'er said thoughtfully.

"Of course the princess has heard it, that day, the two elders Xiao Wuxin and Du Jianxiong talked about it all day, and that's what they talked about. Li Ran said.

"Wow, you can draw inferences from this after listening to this, you're pretty smart, you're almost going to catch up with Princess Ben and me." Xiao Wan'er is a serious way.

Li Ran shook his head and didn't answer, it wasn't him who was awesome, but his current talent "Scholarly Sage".

On the viewing platform.

"I really didn't expect that these two young martial artists with third-grade cultivation would have such a powerful and tenacious sword intent. ”

On the dragon seat in the center, the empress said with emotion.

"Yes, but if the retainers come to power, they can break through their sword curtains with a single move. Xiao Lingqiu said.

"You are the master of my Xiao family's royal family's "Violet Heavenly Illusion Palm", ordinary martial artists of the same generation are naturally inferior to you, but the martial arts are a journey, broad and profound, remember to guard against arrogance and rashness. The empress said.

"Yes, Erchen knows. Xiao Lingqiu said.

In the ring, the two swordsmen still stood silently facing each other, their eyes empty, as if they had escaped into some unknown illusion.

Boom! Boom!

With the passage of time, there was an increasingly fierce sound of sword collision in the ring, and on the surrounding pillars and stone walls, shocking sword marks also appeared out of thin air, as if the ghost of hell was born out of thin air, raging for it!

However, the male and female swordsmen on the stage, Li Xiuyan and Li Huan, remained immovable and unharmed, as if they were two sculptures from ancient times.

The confrontation continues, and there is no telling how long it will last!

"Why is this Li Xiuyan fighting like this?" Xiao Wan'er yawned and saw it: "She was in Honglu Temple before, and she fought with that young general Dongying, and she was also a real sword!"

"That's different, although Yuan Yujing's Dongying Kendo is fierce and fierce, but his swordsmanship attainments are not at the same level as Li Xiuyan, so the latter can suppress it casually, Li Huan is different, can the princess see it, Li Huan is at least on par with her in terms of sword intent. ”

Li Ran looked ahead.

Hearing him say this, Xiao Wan'er also noticed that there were almost the same number of sword marks and broken ring stakes around the two!

Not only that, but even the cross-section of the incision crack is exactly the same!

"Are these two people using a set of swordsmanship?" Xiao Wan'er opened her mind.

"The princess is really like a god, the younger brother and this Li Xiuyan are indeed the same senior sister and brother. Li Ran sighed.

At the same time, in the ring, a sharp sword roar came out, and two light blue sword curtains broke at the same time!

"You've improved. Li Xiuyan said.

"I've been working on it. Li Huan said.

"In the past few years in the Holy Martial Academy, in the competition of 'Yi Sword Technique', how many moves have you been able to surpass me?" asked Li Xiuyan.

"Seventy-three moves, the second sword splitting style. Li Huan said decisively.

"So clear?" Li Xiuyan was slightly stunned.

"Remember it all the time, don't dare to forget. ”

Li Huan's eyes were awe-inspiring and said: "Before defeating you, these are my footprints forward, which are precious." ”

"Very good, you are no longer the weak young man you used to be, if the master and his old man are here, you will definitely feel gratified. Li Xiuyan said.

"Master......" Li Huan's expression wavered a little: "He...... Where is he? Is he okay?"

"I don't know. Li Xiuyan shook her head and said, "No one in this world can grasp the whereabouts of a kendo ghost talent that is rare to see in a thousand years. ”

"That's right. Li Huan smiled bitterly, and then his eyes once again glowed with fiery battle intent.

"Very good, tell me, what are the three mysteries of the Heavenly Pole Sword?" Li Xiuyan's eyes were bright and cold, and she also burst out with a cold murderous aura!

"Yi Sword", "Heavenly Sword", "Extreme Sword". Li Huan said calmly.

"Come on, then, let me see your ......"

"Heavenly Sword!"

Li Xiuyan's eyes were bright, she drew her sword out, and the internal qi around her body surged, converging into a golden and majestic sword qi dragon, this sword qi spread all the way from the sword body, and finally condensed on the sword blade, the golden light was dazzling, and it was unmatched!

"What a strong sword!"

Many knowledgeable martial artists present, especially those from the sect who were born in kendo, were completely stunned!

You must know that the core secret technique of kendo, "Sword Mang", although it has a wide killing range and is even more powerful, it consumes the most internal force.

A majestic sword like Li Xiuyan may not be able to release it even if she is a sword master of the fifth grade, not to mention that she is so young in the late stage of the third grade!

"Who is this Li Xiuyan's teacher? Can she have her background?" On the viewing platform, the Xiao royal family, the peak powerhouse ranked first, and the Empress Xuanyue also looked sideways slightly.

"Your Majesty, this Li Xiuyan reminds the slave of a person......" The Dongchang factory next to him, Liu Liang wanted to speak and stopped.

"Your Majesty, the minister also remembered a person......" Wei Yuhong also lost no time.

The empress smiled slightly bitterly, "Okay, you two can talk about it at the same time." ”

"Heavenly Pole Sword Saint. The two said in unison.

"Shut up. The empress was stunned at first, and then said coldly: "Remember, Elder Fufeng has already driven to the west, and it is better for you to forget about his affairs, if Elder Qingwei hears it, I will not be too lazy to protect you." ”

"Yes!" the two of them trembled, and they said in unison.

"That's right, Liu Liang. ”

The empress's gaze gradually became deeper, and after thinking for a while, she said: "You send a little eunuch to find Princess Wan'er's gentleman Li Ran, and ask this genius from the sky, today's duel, what do he think his brother's chances are, I am quite curious, and I will call back immediately after asking." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Liu Liang smiled and said, "The old slave can go in person." ”
