Chapter 65: A Good Sword

Gu Xichun and Xu Heshan didn't know the dark-skinned young man who was about to encounter Ding Ning, but they judged from the hospital uniform on their bodies that they should belong to the Qingteng Sword Academy.

All the people in the Qingteng Sword Academy present knew that this dark-skinned young man was named Yu Yao and was from Liuquan County.

There are many kilns in Liuquan County, and this Yu Yao is the son of a certain kiln chief.

Although he came from an ordinary background, his cultivation was already considered to be in the middle and upper ranks in the Qingteng Sword Academy, and he was already a high-grade cultivation of qi refining.

Under everyone's gaze, Yu Yao and Ding Ning walked slowly across a rattan wall, and at the end of the road was the same exit, and the two would eventually meet.

......

Almost at the same time, Ding Ning saw the dark-skinned Qingteng Sword Academy student beside him, and Yu Yao also saw Ding Ning.

The first reaction of the two people was exactly the same, they both stood in place, holding the hilt of their swords.

Ding Ning's expression was calm, while Yu Yao's face was nervous, and his eyes were a little hesitant.

This is not a trial that can be completed in a day, so anyone wants to save their strength as much as possible until the end, but the thought of having to defeat an opponent every day to obtain the command on the opponent's body, and the fact that the opponent is the most powerful genius in the Aries Cave, if he directly eliminated it, the teacher on the viewing platform will be very happy... As soon as he thought of this, the hesitation in Yu Yao's eyes quickly disappeared and turned into a ghostly fire.

With a soft roar, he stared at Ding Ning tightly, without any words, and drew his sword out of its sheath.

His sword was dark red and radiated a jade-like luster.

"Good sword!"

However, Ding Ning looked at his sword and praised, "What kind of sword is this?"

Yu Yao was slightly stunned, confined to the number of etiquette, and he replied softly: "It's called Dark Fire, from the Secret Fire Sword Workshop in Liuquan County." ”

Ding Ning bowed his head and drew his sword across his chest.

Compared to Yu Yao's Dark Fire Sword, his remnant sword was only one-third of its length, and it looked pitifully small.

Everyone thought that he was ready to fight next, and Yu Yao also thought that he was about to make a move, but in the next moment, Ding Ning's whole person swept towards a gap in the vine wall in front of him.

There was an uproar on the viewing platform.

Xu Heshan and the others were all stunned.

Ding Ning chose to flee directly.

Although it is true that the rules of this kind of trial can be escaped, according to the atmosphere of the Great Qin Dynasty, it is very humiliating and cowardly to flee directly under this kind of one-on-one duel.

Gu Xichun was stunned, and then a thick mocking expression appeared on his face.

"Don't even dare to face the cultivator's sword, it seems that he is not as good as you think. He turned his head to look at Xu Heshan and said sarcastically.

Xu Heshan frowned, looking at Ding Ning, who was desperately fleeing, he was also unhappy in his heart.

Yu Yao didn't expect Ding Ning to turn around and run away, but he also reacted immediately, let out a soft whistle, and chased after him.

Ding Ning had just arrived at the Qi Refining Realm, he was already in the Qi Refining Realm, and there were two small realms between the two, and his figure was obviously much more powerful and faster than Ding Ning.

After just a few ups and downs, he had already chased behind Ding Ning, less than a foot.

You can't escape, but it's just a lot of people to look down on.

The mockery on Gu Xichun's face was even stronger.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the rattan wall shrouded in cyan mist on the sides of Ding Ning and Yu Yao suddenly trembled, and several green vines pierced out like lightning.

Ding Ning's steps did not pause in the slightest, and the remnant sword in his hand was all picked up, cutting off the two green vines that were close to him first, and continued to rush forward.

Yu Yao was taken aback, and a faint layer of faint red flames suddenly appeared on the body of the dark red long sword in his hand.

He swept with a sword, and one of the green vines that attacked him was also cut off, and the cut was scorched black, but at this moment, there was a soft pop, and a puff of broken leaves gushed out like a fountain, and a thick vine with a whistling wind swept towards him.

Yu Yao was very aware of the power of this kind of vine, and his face suddenly changed slightly, and a stream of true qi in his body once again surged into the long sword in his hand.

With a soft snort, the dark red flames on the body of the dark red long sword in his hand disappeared instead, but the temperature of the entire sword body rose sharply, and the sword body was red as if it had been in the furnace for a long time.

His sword rose in his hand, straight up, and thrust upward.

The fiery red tip of the sword easily pierced the iron-like skin of the thick vine that was already close to his chest, and nailed it into the inside.

Many students on the viewing platform had a slightly cold face.

They recognized this as the "Burning Candle Burning Sky" formula in the Burning Sky Sword Sutra.

This is an extremely sharp close-quarters sword style, fighting directly within a radius of several feet, if you can't dodge this sword, you will be directly pierced through the jaw by a sword from the bottom to the top, and then directly into the brain, a sword will be absolutely killed.

At this moment, the front end of the thick vine that stretched out was nailed through by this sword, and seeing that Yu Yao's sword body was about to move forward, he wanted to directly split this thick vine from it with a sword and break it into two pieces.

However, at this moment, Ding Ning, who was fleeing in front of him, suddenly stopped and turned around!

A dark green sword light flew up from his hand and slashed at Yu Yao's wrist.

Again, this is definitely a change that no one imagined.

Yu Yao's face was full of anger, and he let out a loud cry, countless dust and splinters flew up under him, and his feet were like two iron pillars that slammed deep into the ground below.

Because at this moment, several thin vines have also quickly swam towards his ankles.

Although facing three pinching blows, he did not mess up at all, and while ensuring that he could stand firm in the next moment, his sword shook violently, and the sword body was raised, knocking towards the remnant sword that Ding Ning had slashed at.

Although he couldn't hear the sound, everyone on the viewing platform could see the hot air around his reddish long sword exploding.

The crimson on the sword's body quickly faded, but the kind of ghostly fire that had been floating before turned out violently.

The tip of the thick vine pinned by his sword quickly turned black and would burst into flames.

The remnant sword in Ding Ning's hand cut into this dark and alarming flame, and after his true qi poured into the runes on the dark green sword body, it formed a white jasmine-like sword qi that obviously had a huge gap with these flames in terms of strength, and it was extinguished one by one.

The hot heat even made the skin of his arm burn, but he didn't withdraw his sword.

His blade intersected with the Darkfire Sword, but it barely made a sound.

At this moment, the dark green remnant sword in his hand, like a very slippery fish, quickly slid down against the blade of the dark fire long sword, cutting towards Yu Yao's sword-holding fingers.

A strong feeling of disbelief surged in Yu Yao's heart, could it be that the other party, who had been refining the sword for a long time before cultivating, was able to react like this at this moment?

His face suddenly turned extremely pale, and the sword in his hand turned in half a circle at this moment.

When there was a soft sound.

The remnant sword in Ding Ning's hand was knocked open several feet.

Bang bang bang ...

There were countless whipping sounds under his feet, and several thin vines wrapped around his ankles, unable to drag him for a moment, only to shake up a few pieces of dust again.

Ding Ning's face was still unusually calm, his footsteps moved slightly, and the dark green remnant sword bloomed again with many white flowers, cutting towards Yu Yao's wrist.

In normal times, Yu Yao has many ways to avoid this sword, and even directly swing the sword to counterattack.

However, his long sword at the moment was in a stalemate with that thick vine, and his body was also firmly nailed into the dirt, as long as he lifted his foot, I was afraid that he would be dragged out by those thin vines in the next moment.

He had no choice but to abandon the sword.

Otherwise, his wrist would be cut off by Ding Ning's delicate sword.

Yu Yao let go of the hand holding the sword, and his whole body trembled slightly.

There was a soft ding.

The sword light in Ding Ning's hand flickered, and he grabbed the hilt of the Dark Fire Sword, and instantly picked the sword out of the thick vine and flew out.

At the same time, his body dodged to the side without stopping.

At the same time that the thick black rattan at the front end was wrapped on Yu Yao's body, he walked towards the rattan wall again, and the remnant sword in his hand once again provoked a large area of dense sword light, and in just a few breaths, he cut off this thick vine.

The severed thick vines fell from Yu Yao's body like several circles of thick hemp rope at his feet.

With Yu Yao's strength, he was able to break the few thin vines under his feet at this moment.

But he had no sword in his hand.

With only flesh and blood, it was impossible for him to compete with the sword in Ding Ning's hand, even if it was only a broken sword.

And he knew very well that if it was in a real battle, Ding Ning would not cut the thick vine first at that moment, but would kill him first.

So he hung his head in great sadness and said in a trembling voice: "I lost." ”

Ding Ning nodded, he didn't speak, gasped, and waited for Yu Yao to hand over the order talisman on his body.

......

There was silence on the viewing platform.

"Good sword. ”

Xu Heshan's voice broke the silence, he looked at the dark fire sword that fell to the ground, still hot, and applauded: "The dark fire sword from the hands of the famous craftsman of Liuquan County is really a good sword, and the true qi walking in the runes and the sword body can ignite the flames with such a high temperature, but in this battle, it is naturally Ding Ning, who is holding the remnant sword, performs better." ”

Gu Xichun's face was already covered with a layer of frost, of course he knew that Xu Heshan's words were aimed at him.

"It's just a coincidence. ”

He looked at Xu Heshan coldly and said, "If there is no such trap there, it should be Ding Ning who admits defeat at this moment." ”

Xu Heshan stopped applauding and sneered: "Being able to use everything around you is also an ability." ”

Gu Xichun said expressionlessly: "It's a pity that there is no such trick in the battle between the vast majority of cultivators. The usual duels on the battlefield are like this, the battles in the streets and alleys, and even the competition in the Minshan Sword Club is not a trick. Compared with these small means, I believe in absolute strength more. ”

Xu Heshan is not a person who is good at debating, Gu Xichun's words made him very angry, but for a while he couldn't think of any words to refute.

So he just fell into silence with a gloomy face.

Xie Changsheng, who was very active before, also fell silent at this moment.

Xie Rou's sentence of not being able to defeat even one of Lilingjun's disciples in the future gave him a lot of stimulation, and Ding Ning's performance at this moment made him no longer in any playful mood.

"He's very good, but what kind of broken sword is that he has in his hand? He was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Doesn't the Aries Cave even have the money to buy a good sword?"

Hearing his words, Xie Rou shook her head, "Since the division commander of the Aries Cave gave him such a sword, he will naturally have their intentions. And you don't have to look so sloppy every time you open your mouth, it's all money. ”

"If you can spend money, you can't be considered a real gentleman, and if you can spend money and practice and can't make a name for yourself, it's the real gentleman. Xie Changsheng didn't have a smile on his face, he seemed to answer Xie Rou, and said softly as if talking to himself.
