Chapter 1: Sword Intent

It's a pity that even though Jiang Ying's achievements in cultivation are gratifying, his swordsmanship has fallen into a bottleneck.

She intends to inherit the Jiang family's swordsmanship, and has been studying how to perfectly integrate pure swordsmanship with immortal arts, which causes her to start slowly and difficult than other monks.

The pure swordsmanship is mainly based on short- and medium-distance combat, and there are no moves like flying swords, which also leads to Jiang Ying's need to appropriately innovate his own moves in the process of fusion, so that it can better match the original swordsmanship and give full play to it.

This was a bold move that no beginner sword cultivator would dare to try easily, but Jiang Ying took it hard for the sake of inheritance.

Once Yaobao also persuaded her many times: It's better to change a set of immortal swordsmanship to learn.

However, Jiang Ying knew that apart from the blood flowing on her body and this set of swordsmanship, there was nothing that could be connected to her close relatives and her General's Mansion. Jade pendants are fragile and objects are vulnerable, but only her life and the sword skills passed down from generation to generation can make her remember her identity, her own background, and her eternal belonging.

So she didn't want to give up.

Seeing this, Yaobao had no choice but to stop dissuading her and silently supported her.

With her innate understanding of swordsmanship, although the road was bumpy, she also made rapid progress, and originally thought that everything would go smoothly.

Unexpectedly, it was in the second month of agreeing to Xiao Li's sword competition that she hit a very difficult bottleneck.

It was probably a new sword with a better one, and it was a sword tailor-made for her, and her perception of sword moves had skyrocketed when she was practicing swords.

However, this also led her to discover problems that she never found when using a normal sword.

One is that her sword moves cannot make a good sword give full play to the power of the sword, that is, her moves are not worthy of her sword.

The second is that when the sword becomes lighter and her moves become more fluid, she herself cannot keep up with her moves, which means that her physical fitness cannot make her moves to the next level.

At first, she thought that Fanchen's new sword was not suitable for her, but later she dared to find Sanqing Zhenren and asked him to borrow a sword of similar quality, and after practice, she found that Xiao Li's sword was indeed very suitable for her, and it was her own realm that fell into the inferior.

This was the first time since Jiang Ying's cultivation that she felt anxious and extremely frustrated.

She immediately remembered that Yuju was closed and did not come out, and was silent for three days and three nights in front of Fanchen on the table.

The medicine treasure that turned into a rabbit kept a close eye on her while guarding the Dan furnace to learn the "Qianyuan Creation and Transformation Book".

If it weren't for the fact that its medicinal treasure hadn't yet appeared in front of people, it would have called Wei Fangchu and other senior sisters and brothers to give Jiang Jiang psychological counseling.

In the end, Jiang Ying relieved himself, got up and took Fanchen, and walked out of the door without saying a word.

Yaobao hurriedly ran after her: "You lose the rabbit, you lose the rabbit!"

Jiang Ying turned around and took it with him, and went straight to Baiyun Peak.

Xiao Li was practicing his sword in the trial Lin inside the door at that time.

Seeing that Jiang Ying was rare to find, he thought that there was something wrong with Fanchen, so he hurriedly went to ask.

Jiang Ying informed him of his problem.

I thought that he was a sword maker, and the second was a disciple of the Sword Gate, and the three started earlier than her, had more experience than her, and was still from a sword family, so he should have more experience and understanding than her.

After listening to her question, Xiao Li smiled lightly: "Silly girl, it is inevitable that you will encounter a bottleneck on the path of cultivation. Break through your current puzzle and your swordsmanship will be able to leap to a great realm. ”

Jiang Ying said: "But I don't have a clue at the moment, and I don't know where to start." I don't know if it's because my moves are misdesigned or whatever, and I don't know where to improve them, but if this continues, I'm afraid I won't have a chance of winning your competition in a month's time. ”

Xiao Li pinched his chin and thought about it, and led her to the forest.

There are quite a few complex formations designed for sword cultivators, and there is also a large area for free practice.

"You demonstrate it, and I'll take a look. ”

Jiang Ying demonstrated the swordsmanship in its entirety.

At the end, Xiao Li sighed: "This is indeed the most unique swordsmanship I have ever seen." ”

After two months of not seeing each other, her sword moves have some subtle differences, which are the result of her continuous improvement.

And most of this is because of her own blended moves, many times, it is difficult for him to figure out her sword moves.

This is also the reason why he has always liked to practice with her for four years, aside from cultivation, the overall level of this junior sister's swordsmanship is not as good as his, a person who has been trained from a young age to a big man, but when he is at a disadvantage, relying on all kinds of surprises, she always has the ability to turn the tide.

This kind of swordsmanship is a great weapon in the arena, which is why he insisted on inviting her to participate.

Of course, because of this, he is also at a loss in the face of her predicament.

"I can see that the two major problems you mentioned, for the second problem, the solution is not too difficult - you have practiced in the past, no matter how hard you worked, you practiced mostly within a safe and comfortable range. As a result, your stamina, stamina, reflexes, and move speed are limited in your progress, and over time, when you encounter a real challenge, your body will easily not be able to keep up with your moves and swords.

However, I don't think this is a serious problem. You have to know that everything has a limit, as long as you are not dragged down by such limits, as long as you keep improving, you might as well lower the requirements and let your moves adapt to you, so that you can fit more with your moves.

Of course, if you insist on breaking through, you have to do that.

In the immortal realm, there is a special way to break through the limit, which is 'entering the death array'. 'Death Array' means the magic circle that must die, it is always stronger than the limit of the person who enters the formation, and when you enter the death array, you can only prolong your life as much as possible by fighting non-stop for a moment, or by breaking through yourself, Jedi counterattack, and breaking out of the formation.

Usually when a monk enters such a formation, he will either die in the battle or succeed in breaking through. ”

At this time, he saw that Jiang Ying's eyes changed, and he had a posture of wanting to know more about it, so he hurriedly said: "Eh, stop, stop, stop, you have the idea of slowly entering the dead battle!"

After Jiang Yingmian reluctantly reined in a little, he said: "Although this method has a remarkable effect, it is a gamble on their lives, so most people will set up a fake death array in order to protect themselves."

Fake dead formations are closely controlled, or there are settings for self-unraveling. When the monk enters and is unable to break through to the brink of death, the circle will automatically crack - well, yes, it is when the last breath is left that the person is released. ”

Xiao Li said to Jiang Ying: "So if you want to break through, you might as well find someone to set up such a formation for you, or if you come here, there will be a suspended death formation here, I can take you in to give it a try." ”

Jiang Ying said, "Okay, when is it convenient for you?"

Xiao Li was speechless for a while, crossed his waist and said: "Even if it is a fake death formation, if you fail to break through, you will be greatly injured, in order for the competition to go smoothly in a month, I don't recommend you to enter now." ”

Jiang Ying frowned, Xiao Li, who knew her thoughts, pinched his index finger and thumb again: "If you insist on going, I will ask someone to reduce the difficulty of the magic circle, not much, just a little bit, but it can ensure that your life and vitality are not endangered, you can enter and experience it, even if you have not broken through, I believe you will have quite a comprehension." ”

“...... All right. Since Jiang Ying, who agreed to the event, also knew that he couldn't be a maverick, he nodded and agreed.

"And what about the first question?" she asked the first question again.

This time, Xiao Li made a difficulty.

Looking at her with a frown: "The first question......"

Xiao Li sighed: "That's your own swordsmanship, and I haven't reached the height of jumping out of my own swordsmanship to guide others' swordsmanship, I can probably only point out some of your more obvious flaws, as well as some things that I look strange, but it's hard to tell how strange." ”

Jiang Ying thought for a while and replied, "Even if it's just a little, it's the direction of improvement, and I hope that Senior Brother will give me advice." ”

Xiao Li pursed his lips: "Senior brother, senior brother...... At this time, you have the most well-behaved mouth and the most angry. Okay, you do it again, I'll explain it to you one by one. ”

Jiang Ying immediately demonstrated a complete set of swordsmanship.

A few days passed, and under Xiao Li's guidance, she drew the problems he pointed to one by one on the forest land with tree branches as brushes.

The moves were dismantled and closed by her, closed and dismantled, and she squatted in one place with Xiao Li to study and even argue, and she didn't even know that time had flown by for a few days.

After an unknown number of days passed, the two of them really couldn't think of a better idea, so Jiang Ying once again integrated the entire set of swordsmanship, and practiced for the first time for the first time.

Finally, she found that the swordsmanship was indeed smoother, and the sword moves were more comfortable in her hands, even if the actual gap was not too big from before, she was overjoyed, and she was incoherent for a while.

It was the first time Xiao Li had seen her like this, and he leaned under the tree to see her happy.

Although he was tired from the endless days, and even wondered how this junior sister could not be tired at all under such high-intensity practice and thinking, he was still sincerely happy for her, and by the way, he felt that his chances of winning the competition in the future had become greater!

After Jiang Ying was overjoyed, he quickly calmed down, cleaned the dust of his body with the dust purification technique, and swallowed two ordinary small spirit fruits that he had planted by himself in a row, and then distributed several to Xiao Li.

After that, she left Baiyun Peak with a thousand thanks, and returned to the Gu Poison Gate like a gust of wind, and after dealing with the accumulated affairs, she went to Qingshan Peak with a gust of wind and continued to practice.

Xiao Li, who took the spirit fruit and found that his junior sister was nowhere to be seen: ......

Does this count as running out of use?

Is he a tool man???

............

It's a pity that Jiang Ying returned to Qingshan Peak and practiced wildly for a few days, and gradually came back to his senses from the joy, and began to be depressed again.

She also found that the "breakthroughs" she had made in the past few days were too limited, and after adapting, the original root problems were once again expanded a hundredfold in front of her.

Even with Xiao Li's reminder, she was more aware of her limitations and shortcomings, and she was tormented by such a clueless and helpless sense of confusion.

She became silent again, and when she talked to Yao Bao and Pi Pi Hua, her whole body was so depressed that she almost stepped on a small stone vine.

Jiang Ying, who felt that he couldn't tolerate these problems, finally made a bold decision.

She was going to Yin Sanmen and asked Yin Sanzhen for advice.

Yin Sanzhen is a fire-based sword cultivator, and Yin Sanmen is also a branch of sword cultivation, Jiang Ying's problems at this level are absolutely right to ask Yin Sanzhen.

Although she took some risks, between being persecuted by Yin Yi and Yin Ermen and breaking through in swordsmanship, she would rather choose the latter.

But when she was ready to go, she suddenly changed her mind.

She looked at the direction of the residence of the three Qingzhen people in Qingshan Peak, thinking about the time when the two of them had made an appointment with her at Qingshan Peak before......

She decisively went to Sanqing Zhenren's residence and asked that in his name, ask Yin Sanzhen to come to Sanqingfeng for a detailed discussion.

Yin Sanzhen came soon.

Ever since she boldly talked to Sanqing Zhenren about the obstruction of her cultivation and the damage to her dantian, Sanqing Zhenren has been refining pills for her and trying to repair her dantian.

So these days, Yin Sanzhen's complexion has rarely improved, and the speed of aging has gradually slowed down.

After listening to Jiang Ying talk about his problems, Yin Sanzhen first glanced at her Fanchen.

The light and excellent feel of the Fanchen sword is held in the palm, the lines of the sword handle can fit the palm of the hand very well, and the lines of the sword body are all delicate and smooth, and the phoenix feather shape at the junction of the sword handle and the sword body highlights the softness of the female saber, without losing the atmosphere and elegance.

Yin Sanzhen looked at this sword and couldn't help but praise: "This sword maker is really attentive, saying that it is tailor-made for you, and it is not bad at all." ”

Jiang Ying also nodded: "The sword is a good sword, but I dragged the sword and the sword master back." ”

When Yin Sanzhen heard this, he smiled and handed the sword back to her: "Come, let me see your sword moves." ”

Jiang Ying adjusted his somewhat nervous heart, clenched the sword in his hand, and retreated to the open space to raise the sword for the umpteenth time.

Strictly speaking, it was the first time that Yin Sanzhen had seen Jiang Ying use a full set of swordsmanship.

At first, she was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Ying's way of making combos and some details, and she looked at it with interest.

Later, she gradually discovered the problem Jiang Ying said.

And it is obvious that Jiang Ying's actual problems are more serious and complicated than the problems she found herself.

Yin Changmei looked at it, and his brows gradually twisted.

Even Sanqing Zhenren, who was mainly a cultivator, faintly saw something wrong, and he turned his head to see Yin Changmei's reaction.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I saw a red shadow flickering on his side, and Yin Changmei was already holding the scarlet Three True Fire Lotus Sword, directly hitting Jiang Ying's sword move!

"Bell!"

As the two swords clashed, a crisp and slightly trembling crash sounded.

Jiang Ying didn't expect that Yin Sanzhen would do it himself, even if Yin Sanzhen blocked ninety percent of the sword power of the Fire Lotus Sword with internal force, and only released one percent of his own power, she could still feel the oppression from the Fire Lotus Sword and Yin Sanzhen, as well as the trembling and sword sound of Fan Chen!

Her wrist was numb, and Fan Chen came out of her hand.

However, the next moment, she subconsciously sank and flipped her hand, and accurately caught Fan Chen with her backhand.

At the same time, he tightened his five fingers, grasped Fan Chen, turned his body in reverse in a limited space, and rubbed Fan Chen's sword back against Yin Changmei, hitting Yin Changmei directly!
