Chapter 22: The Shadow Sword
Early the next morning, Huan Yin followed the disciples who led the way to the square of the fifth order, which was the place where the martial arts were held. When Huan Yin arrived, most of the disciples of each sect had already stood in the square, and Huan Yin walked to the place where the Infinite Gate gathered, and then quietly waited for the martial arts to begin.
After a while, all the disciples who participated in the martial arts had arrived, and suddenly white clouds gathered from all directions in the mid-air in front of the square, and finally formed a large cloud carpet in mid-air.
Suddenly, six rays of light came from the sky in the distance and fell on the cloud carpet. In the glow, six figures condensed, they were the elders of the sect who led the newcomer disciples to martial arts this time, and Ye Qingyou was also among them.
An old man in a yellow robe among the six people stepped forward and said: "Poor Dao Xuanyuanzi is the host of this newcomer martial arts. "This old Taoist is the Xuanyuan Zi who opened the Infinite Dao Platform at the Immortal Yuan Meeting, he is one of the elders of the First Sword Peak, and he has the highest rank in the audience. Yijian Peak, as the host sect of this martial arts, invited the elders to preside over this martial arts, which shows that Yijian Peak attaches great importance to the martial arts.
"Due to the large number of Huiwu disciples, according to the previous rules, the first round of Huiwu will be opened by our sect to the trial tower, and all the disciples will enter the trial tower to compete with the sword puppet. The cultivation of the sword puppet is at the beginning of the third layer of condensation, and the disciple who defeats the sword puppet can enter the second round of the martial arts. In the second round, the disciples will compete one-on-one on the martial arts platform, and if there are no pairs, they will draw lots and have byes. From the second round, and so on, the top eight, the top four, and the strongest will be determined in turn!"
In addition, participants are only allowed to use a maximum of three magic weapons in each competition, and there are no restrictions on spirit pets. In the martial arts, it is strictly forbidden for any outsiders to interfere, and if they are defeated, they only need to shout the word 'admit defeat' to be teleported out of the martial arts venue. The fairy law competition is not a child's play, life and death are fateful, so you can do it yourself!"
After speaking, Xuanyuanzi's sleeve robe waved, and a pagoda suddenly broke out of the ground on the ground in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely on the ground.
"The sword puppet in the early stage of the third layer of Qi Condensation, this first round is so strong, I have only been in the second layer of Qi Condensation, how can I be able to beat it?" said a disciple of the Infinite Sect to his companion beside him.
"I heard that this sword puppet doesn't have any magic weapons or extraordinary spells, but its cultivation is very strong. If there is a good magic weapon or spell and rich combat experience, the cultivation of the late stage of the second layer of Qi Condensation can completely defeat it. Another disciple of the Immeasurable Sect explained.
After listening to Xuanyuanzi's words, Huan Yin clenched his fists, the early stage of the third layer of condensation qi was equivalent to Shen Ling's current realm, and he didn't know if he could beat the late stage of the first layer of condensation. He looked at each other from a distance with Wuwu and Ling'er, who were standing in his own sect, made gestures of encouragement, and then silently adjusted his state.
"Open!" I saw Xuanyuanzi pointing at the Trial Tower, and a stream of colorful qi hit the bottom of the Trial Tower from his fingertips, and a door instantly opened at the bottom of the tower, and there was a layer of colorful qi on the door, covering the situation inside the tower.
"The trial tower of Yijian Peak is really mysterious, the tower contains nine hundred and ninety-nine void realms, far from the size of the naked eye, and it is really the most suitable for the trial of disciples. "It was the sect elder who led the team this time from the Cathode Gate.
"There are a total of four hundred and twenty-three martial arts disciples this time, and I don't know how many of them can pass the trial in this tower. The patriarch of the Bagua Gate said to himself.
"The tower door is opened, and the trial comes. Disciple enter the tower!" Xuanyuan Zi shouted.
After hearing Xuanyuanzi's voice, the disciples of various factions walked into the colorful gate at the bottom of the tower one after another, and Huan Yin was naturally among them.
"Uncle Xuanyuanzi, in the past, the martial arts would announce the ranking rewards in advance to encourage the disciples to go all out, why didn't the martial arts be announced this time?" After the disciples all entered the tower, the sect elder who spoke at the beginning of the cathode gate asked Xuanyuanzi.
"I see that in the past, there was no shortage of disciples who were greedy because of rewards, and they would do whatever it took to reward their ranks, which was contrary to the gist of the martial arts training and the inspection of disciples' cultivation, not to mention that the rewards were special this time, so I did not announce it, and I hope that all disciples can learn martial arts with their hearts. Xuanyuan explained.
"I see, Xuanyuanzi's uncle is high, but his nephew is stupid. ”
Besides, after he entered the colorful gate, there was a flower in front of him, and when he saw the scene in front of him again, he found that he was already on a suspended cyan terrace. The terrace was very wide and flat, empty, shrouded by a light curtain, and Huan was bounced back by a weak force because of his proximity to the light curtain.
This platform is naturally the place of the meeting, and the light curtains around it are used to limit the boundaries of this meeting. Not long after Huan Yin appeared, on the ground far away from him, several lights and shadows gradually condensed, from blur to clear, and finally a humanoid puppet appeared. This puppet was carrying a long sword behind him, which was the sword puppet in Xuanyuanzi's mouth.
When Huan Yin saw the sword puppet appear, he held his breath and condensed, secretly lucky, and prepared to fight.
"Qiang!" After the sword puppet appeared, he directly drew his long sword, and rushed towards Huan Yin like a wind under his feet.
Although Huan Yin knew that the sword puppet was a cultivation in the early stage of the third layer of Qi Condensation, he was not sure if his current combat power could be carried hard with the sword puppet, so he dodged the sword puppet's slash sideways, and then turned around and hit the sword puppet that rushed behind him with a strong force, which was the gravitational technique.
Huan Yinfa recited casually, where could the sword puppet react, and was instantly hit by this gravitational technique in the back. But the sword puppet cultivated to be strong, and there was no big problem when he was hit by Huan Yin, just a few stumbles, and then stood down.
Huan Yin was secretly surprised, although his gravitational technique just now was just a temptation, but it also triggered the five-layer skill, and this sword puppet with three layers of condensing qi had no reaction to resist a blow on the back, which was really amazing. However, the purpose of this blow had already been achieved—this blow made him feel that it would not be difficult for him to defeat the monk in the early stage of the third layer of condensation.
The sword puppet turned around, there was no pranayama at all, the law in his hand had changed several times, and then with a push of both hands, a fire snake with a thickness of more than a foot shot out, heading straight for Huan Yin.
This fire snake is obviously not as powerful as the man in black when he met Wuwu at the beginning, and Huan has seen this technique many times, so he is not flustered. He pointed out at the fiery snake with both hands, and several strong winds instantly scattered the fiery serpent. Huan Yin's hand seems simple, but in fact, if he can't follow the thought, he can only dodge sideways.
The next moment, the sword puppet came with the fire snake and crashed into Huan Yin's field of vision. I saw the sword puppet holding the sword in both hands, raising it high, and slashing at Huan Yin with all his might. Huan Yin saw that this slash was fierce, and he didn't carry it hard, so he used his gravitational technique to resist the sword force, and took the opportunity to dodge sideways.
Rao is Huan resisted with gravity, and the slash of this sword puppet finally formed a sword mark on the ground.
Huan Yin stood firm on the side, and his heart was settled. Several attacks of this sword puppet were easily dodged by him, obviously this sword puppet was not his opponent, and he passed the first level of the trial. Thinking of this, Huan Yin struggled to attract spirits, and planned to turn defense into offense.
With a "boom", a fire python shot out of Huan Yin's hand, this fire python was more than thick and thin, and it was much more violent than the blow that he had made with all his strength at the foot of Wuliang Mountain.
When the sword puppet saw Huan Yin's fire python attacking, he didn't have time to dodge at all, so he could only resist with his horizontal sword with spiritual power. Huan knew that it was impossible for this fire python to defeat the sword puppet directly, so he jumped hard after playing the spell, and took off to prepare to attack the sword puppet again with gravity.
However, when Huan Yin was in mid-air and was about to cast a spell, a chill spread around him. Two swords suddenly appeared in front of Huan Yin's chest and back, and slashed towards Huan Yin in a pinching force.
Huan Yin was in mid-air, and he couldn't dodge at all. In desperation, he slammed the gravitational technique that was supposed to hit the sword puppet to the ground, and raised his body in an instant with the force of the anti-shock, narrowly avoiding the attack of the two swords.
"Senior Uncle Xuanyuanzi, what is the skill of the sword puppet in this trial tower?" asked the sect elder of the Imperial Dan Dao.
"The sword puppet used in this martial arts, the initial cultivation of the third layer of Qi Condensation, only holds an ordinary immortal sword, and the technique is also a beginner-level ordinary spell. It's just that...... This sword puppet will be able to use the 'shadow sword' technique of my sword peak. ”
"Shadow Sword, but Uncle Shi, the art of fame when you were young?"
"That's exactly what happened. ”
"I heard that this technique is the best technique in the low-level spells of a sword peak, it can condense the sword shadow of the fairy sword in his hand with his own spiritual power, this sword shadow is no different from this sword, and it is difficult to figure out, the higher the power of cultivation, the more swords that can be transformed, and the greater the power. Uncle Shi, the sword puppet has this technique, and it may not be easy for the disciples to defeat it. ”
Huan Yin naturally couldn't hear this conversation just now, he was just shocked by the two swords that suddenly appeared in a cold sweat. Those two swords came out of thin air, Huan Yin didn't pay attention to the origin of the swords at all, and the power of the slash was not much better than the sword puppet's previous blow.
After Huan Yin landed, the sword puppet had already stood up. Huan Yin's Fire Snake Technique just now had obviously caused a lot of damage to the sword puppet, and its chest was scorched black. However, there were suddenly two more swords in front of the sword puppet at this moment, which were the two swords that attacked Huan Yin just now. These two swords are exactly the same as the long swords held in the sword puppet's hand, except that they float in the air, forming a triangle with the sword in the sword puppet's hand, and the tip of the sword is pointed at Huan Yin, exuding a cold glow.
"Swordsmanship!" He was also a companion of swords in the Sword Pavilion, and he knew a little about swordsmanship. When he saw the appearance of the sword puppet at this moment, he could see at a glance that this sword puppet was using a kind of immortal swordsmanship. Obviously, the two swords floating in the air were illusions of swordsmanship, not real, but as powerful as the real swords in the hands of the sword puppet.
This swordsmanship is quite weird, and it almost made Huan Yin fall into the way. Huan Yin took a deep breath and condensed, he wanted to teach this sword puppet swordsmanship.
What Huan Yin didn't know was that outside the trial tower at this moment, there were already disciples who had withdrawn one after another, and it was the disciples who were eliminated by the sword puppet, and I really don't know if it was caused by the "Shadow Sword".
