Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Unexpected
"Teacher Zhou, when will I be able to come back and continue my cultivation?" Xu Wei asked as he thought of this.
"Anytime, as long as you feel like it's okay. Zhou Longyun replied.
"In that case, I want to practice swords with everyone now. Xu Wei smiled casually.
"So fast?" Zhou Longyun said in some surprise.
"If you're not faster, how can you catch up with everyone's progress?" Xu Wei said as he took out an ordinary long sword from the red spirit ring.
The murderous aura of the magic sword was too heavy, and Xu Wei didn't want to attract attention, so he didn't plan to take out the magic sword.
Seeing that Xu Wei was so positive, Zhou Longyun nodded, pulled out the long sword from his waist and said:
"Xu Wei, seeing that you are so studious, I will start with the first form of swordsmanship and demonstrate it to you from the beginning. ”
"Don't be that troublesome. Xu Wei shook his head and refused.
"Why, don't you want me to teach you personally?" Zhou Longyun wondered.
"Not really. Xu Wei waved his hand and explained:
"I mean, Mr. Zhou Longyun, you can start the demonstration directly from the thirteenth style, and I have almost mastered the first twelve styles. ”
Chen Chao, who came from the side, said with a surprised face after hearing Xu Wei's words:
"It's not Xu Wei, don't brag about it, Lao Zhou and I taught these little cubs for half a month, and they barely mastered the first twelve moves of this swordsmanship, you haven't learned it yet, how dare you say that you have learned it?"
"Yes, Xu Wei, don't make me happy. Zhou Longyun's face froze, and he said a little unhappily.
"Why, if you don't believe me, you can find someone to compete with me. Xu Wei smiled indifferently.
Zhou Longyun and Chen Chao saw that Xu Wei didn't look like he was lying, the two looked at each other and agreed:
"Then let's find the best one to learn and talk to you. ”
Xu Wei bowed his head slightly, and the ancient well on his face did not wave.
"Yang Tao, come here!" Chen Chao waved his hand and shouted at the crowd.
"Yes!"
Soon Yang Tao came to the three of them, Xu Wei looked at Yang Tao, now he is already a seventh-layer cultivator in the Spirit Body Realm, originally thought that he would change after coming to the Spirit Sword Pavilion, but now he still looks fierce and terrifying.
"Yang Tao, among all the students, you have the best swordsmanship, Xu Wei wants to compete with you, is there a problem?" Chen Chao asked Yang Tao.
Yang Tao squinted at Xu Wei and said with a sneer:
"Just him?"
"It's up to me. Xu Wei did not show weakness and responded.
"Okay. Seeing that Xu Wei was so decisive, Yang Tao raised his eyebrows and said:
"But the sword has no eyes, I don't want you to go back and lie down for ten days and half a month, lest people say that I am bullying the weak and bullying the patients who have just come out. ”
"As you wish. The corners of Xu Wei's mouth rose, and then he turned to everyone and said loudly:
"Brothers and sisters of the same period, I, Xu Wei, am now going to test swordsmanship with Yang Tao, the sword has no eyes, I promise that if we are injured during the competition, we will bear the consequences and never touch each other. ”
Xu Wei turned his head to look at Yang Tao and said:
"I don't know if Brother Yang Tao dares to fight?"
"Why don't you dare?" Yang Tao replied loudly.
"Good, good, good, this is a good man with blood. Chen Chao on the side shouted loudly.
"Everybody, pause the practice and make room for the two of them. Chen Chao said to everyone.
When they heard this, they immediately dispersed and sat down in the corner of the square.
"Xu Wei, your injury is just right, don't be rash. Zhou Longyun said with some concern.
"Be careful, Mr. Zhou, I'm measured. Xu Wei soothed.
After speaking, Xu Wei and Yang Tao walked to the center of the square together.
"Xu Wei, give me attention, don't I haven't settled accounts with you yet, you will hang up first!" Chen Longjie shouted loudly in the corner.
Qin Xiaomiao, who was sitting next to Chen Longjie, also shouted with concern:
"Brother Xu Wei, pay attention to safety!"
There were also voices of support for Yang Tao from the crowd:
"Brother Yang, come on!"
"Yes, you can't lose in momentum!"
Yang Tao's right hand holding the sword was upright, and the cold light flickered on his fierce face.
Yang Tao looked at Xu Wei and grinned:
"Xu Wei, your deeds have spread throughout the Spirit Sword Pavilion in the past few days, and I can't be excited to fight with you, the hero of the sect. ”
Suddenly, Yang Tao's face changed, and he said fiercely:
"However, what excites me even more is that I can defeat you with my own hands and make your face disgraced, and when the time comes, you don't dare to come out to meet people. ”
Xu Wei raised the long sword in his hand and said softly:
"Naturally not. ”
Yang Tao sneered, lifted the long sword in his hand, and his body was like a long rainbow piercing the sun, instantly attacking Xu Wei.
In mid-air, Yang Tao shook the long sword in his hand, and the long sword rolled, making a roaring sword sound.
The long sword was mixed with unrivaled power and sharpness, and it struck at the vital point of Xu Wei's body.
Xu Wei twisted his wrist, the long sword came out of its sheath, and then swept forward.
"Bang!"
Xu Wei defused Yang Tao's overwhelming attack with just one move.
Yang Tao frowned, but without any hesitation, he turned around and made another inverted sword move, attacking Xu Wei's waist and abdomen.
This move can be described as really thrilling, fortunately, Xu Wei hurriedly retreated a step, otherwise he would definitely be stabbed by this sudden move.
Before Xu Wei could catch his breath, Yang Tao landed on the tip of his sword and directly relied on the sword body to support his entire body.
Everyone present was amazed by this move.
"Look at the move!"
Yang Tao shouted, and the hand holding the sword shook violently, and he actually bounced himself out.
"Bang bang bang. Yang Tao used his leg technique and kicked Xu Wei's defenseless chest one after another.
Xu Wei was caught off guard by this Yang Tao's set, and hurriedly retreated and distanced himself.
"But that's it!" Yang Tao sneered.
Immediately after that, another sword stabbed him, and Yang Tao took advantage of the victory to pursue, not giving Xu Wei a moment of respite at all.
The situation suddenly fell into unilateral suppression, and Xu Wei was not as relaxed as before.
This Yang Tao's cultivation is a level higher than himself, and his speed is naturally much faster than his own, if he is allowed to perform a combo, he will definitely lose.
Xu Wei raised his sword to block, and his mind was racing rapidly, looking for an opportunity to break the enemy.
"It's too slow, it's too slow!"
Yang Tao danced with the long sword in his hand and sneered at Xu Weidao.
I have to say that this Yang Tao's swordsmanship is also first-class, and the long swords crisscross in his hands, and they are impermeable to the dance.
Xu Wei's expression was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but regret his underestimation just now.
Rao is like this, Xu Wei is not so easy to be taken down.
Even if he was passive, the strength of not admitting defeat in his bones also made the long sword in Xu Wei's hand keep swinging.
The spiritual power in his body was tumbling like a tide, but Xu Wei was very calm in his heart.
As long as he can defend against Yang Tao's attack and interrupt his sword moves, he can turn defeat into victory.
After a long time, Yang Tao seems to have lost the sharpness just now, although his speed and strength are much stronger than Xu Wei, but in terms of swordsmanship, he is not as good as Xu Wei.
But in the eyes of outsiders, it is Yang Tao who occupies most of the advantages.
After all, most of the time, Yang Tao is actively attacking, and Xu Wei is passively defending, so others will naturally think that Yang Tao is stronger than Xu Wei.
But Zhou Longyun, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw something unusual.
The swordsmanship is about inner stability, the quieter the heart, the faster the move, the stronger the power.
However, Yang Tao's desperate and crazy style of play violates this principle, which seems to be fierce in a short period of time, but it will soon have drawbacks.
Xu Wei also saw that Yang Tao did not understand the mystery of swordsmanship, so he deliberately only defended and did not attack, deliberately delaying time.
Knowing that his swordsmanship is not good, Yang Tao is not stupid, so he works strength and speed, and strives to solve it quickly.
Xu Wei didn't dare to slack off, and the long sword in his hand was also dancing.
For a while, the two of them fought back and forth, and the sword shadow flew into the sky, fierce.
Whenever Yang Tao wanted to perform swordsmanship, he was always interrupted by Xu Wei's sword.
couldn't attack for a long time, and Yang Tao's mentality gradually became unstable.
"Damn!" Yang Tao scolded angrily.
I didn't expect Xu Wei in front of him to be so difficult, if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would lose.
"How is it possible?"
Yang Tao's eyes were cold, and he roared in a low voice.
A body of spiritual power burst out in an instant, and the long sword in his hand was full of inspiration, "Zheng Zheng Zheng...... A loud sword roar came out, and Yang Tao's whole person's momentum suddenly exploded.
"Not good!" Zhou Longyun shouted in distraction.
"Huh!" Yang Tao swept the long sword in his hand, and a sword qi actually slashed towards Xu Wei.
Xu Wei's face froze, and he hurriedly raised his sword to block.
"Bang!"
The sword qi slammed into the long sword, and the powerful recoil forced Xu Wei to retreat again and again.
Yang Tao took advantage of Xu Wei's distraction and stabbed a sword towards Xu Wei's chest.
Feeling Yang Tao's killing intent, Xu Wei hurriedly staggered to hide.
"Poof!"
The long sword was inserted three inches into Xu Wei's left chest ribs, and the blood instantly stained Xu Wei's clothes red.
Yang Tao didn't stop, he sneered, and continued to exert force in his hand, as if he wanted to go a little deeper into the long sword.
This man is a bloodthirsty maniac!
Xu Wei was no longer polite, such a close distance was enough for Xu Wei to show his original swordsmanship.
Xu Wei quickly changed the pace under his feet at the moment, and his spiritual power also erupted.
Relying on the footwork of the Five Elements Fist, Xu Wei actually unloaded the power of Yang Tao on the long sword and took the initiative in his own hands.
Yang Tao was shocked by Xu Wei's actions and broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect Xu Xuwei to be able to dissolve his own strength.
Before Yang Tao could recover from his recovery, Xu Wei raised the long sword in his hand and slashed down at the long sword inserted in his chest with great force.
"Click!"
I saw that the long sword held in Yang Tao's hand was directly split in half by Xu Wei.
Yang Tao's eyes widened, and his face was shocked.
"Bang!"
Xu Wei made an elbow strike at close range and hit Yang Tao's chin directly.
There was a "knock", and the sound of Yang Tao's jaw bones shattering.
"Pedaling, pedaling, pedaling........." Yang Tao was stunned by this blow and retreated again and again.
At this moment, Yang Tao's foothold is not stable, as long as Xu Wei continues to attack, the victory will definitely belong to him.
But at this time, Zhou Longyun on the side yelled loudly and said:
"Stop! That's the end of the competition. ”
Hearing Zhou Longyun's words, Xu Wei also put down the long sword in his hand.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Tao in front of him held his hand like crazy, broke the sword, and roared and pounced on Xu Wei.
Yang Tao's eyes were scarlet, and he looked like he had lost his mind.
He wants his life!
Xu Wei's eyes trembled, and he looked at the crazy Yang Tao in shock.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Tao was already in front of Xu Wei.
At the moment of life and death, Xu Wei couldn't help but hesitate a little.
With a shock to his wrist, the long sword in Xu Wei's hand instantly lit out several sword flowers, delaying Yang Tao's attack.
In less than a few breaths, the sword wounds on Yang Tao's body were already dense, Yang Tao was covered in blood, and his appearance looked terrifying.
"It's just a competition, why do you want to do this?"
Xu Wei couldn't stand it anymore and asked sharply.
Yang Tao didn't answer, let out a low roar, and threw the broken sword in his hand towards Xu Wei.
Xu Wei's eyes shrank, and he hurriedly dodged sideways.
At this moment, Yang Tao opened a pair of bloody hands and pounced on Xu Wei.
Xu Wei was shocked and hurriedly raised his sword in front of him.
"Bang!"
Before Yang Tao could get close, he was knocked to the ground by Zhou Longyun, who rushed over.
Yang Tao, who was knocked down, instantly lost his ability to resist, and was restrained by Zhou Longyun's hands in three or two strokes and controlled it.
Zhou Longyun was furious, glared at Yang Tao who fell to the ground with great anger and said:
"Yang Tao, your murderous intent is too heavy, it is not suitable to stay in the Spirit Sword Pavilion, from today onwards, leave the Spirit Sword Pavilion!"
"Is Lao Tzu going or staying, and is it up to you to take care of it?"
Yang Tao's face was pressed against the ground and he roared.
"Chen Chao is my coach, what kind of thing are you, what right do you have to drive me out of the Spirit Sword Pavilion?"
Yang Tao continued unconvinced.
"I don't need you to worry about it, I naturally have the right to expel you from the sect. Zhou Longyun snorted coldly.
Then Zhou Longyun turned his head to look at Chen Chao and shouted:
"Chen Chao, what do you think you are used to him?"
Chen Chao's face was ugly, and he hurriedly pleaded:
"Lao Zhou, Yang Tao, this kid is young and vigorous, and he is easy to do things out of line, so you can spare him this time. ”
"If I hadn't avoided it in time, his sword would have killed me!"
Xu Wei said angrily, Xu Wei really had no sympathy for the devil in front of him.
After Zhou Longyun heard Chen Chao's words, he let go of Yang Tao angrily.
With Zhou Longyun by his side, no matter how crazy Yang Tao was, he didn't dare to do anything wrong.
Zhou Longyun said coldly to Chen Chao on the side:
"You've seen what happened just now, if you don't do anything, I'll personally send him to the Law Enforcement Hall. ”
"You won't know what the crime will be for attempting to kill a disciple of the same sect, right?"
Chen Chao frowned, and seemed to have nothing to say.
After a moment of silence, Chen Chao pulled Yang Tao on the ground up, and then nodded solemnly and said:
"Old Zhou, I know, I will personally send him out of the Spirit Sword Pavilion. ”
After speaking, Chen Chao took Yang Tao and left the square.
Zhou Longyun sighed and said to Xu Wei:
"I'm sorry Xu Wei, I'm a teacher, I almost killed you twice in a row, it's really useless. ”
"I don't blame you, teacher, I took the initiative to ask for the sword competition, and this kind of thing happened unexpectedly, how can it all be blamed on you, teacher?" Xu Wei comforted Zhou Longyun.
Zhou Longyun didn't know what to do for a while, and turned his head to the stunned crowd:
"Let's all go back! That's the end of today's training. ”
Everyone cheered in unison.
