CHAPTER XLIV
Qi Ren, in the prime of life, has a resolute face and some small wrinkles on his face, which adds a bit of vicissitudes to this middle-aged swordsman.
Qi Ren doesn't talk much on weekdays, is relatively taciturn, and is dressed in simple clothes, if it weren't for the knife on his waist, he is no different from the middle-aged farmer in the mortal world.
The sword soldiers of the acquired realm make flying swords the majority, and the most recognizable feature of Qi Ren is to make knives.
The reason why the monks of the Acquired Realm have made the flying sword occupy the vast majority is because for thousands of years, countless monks of the predecessors have come up with the law, that is, among the eighteen kinds of weapons, the imperial sword is the best choice.
For example, Qi Ren makes a knife, Zhang Bufu makes a gun, and these are all minority.
It's just that usually, there is a phenomenon among these few people, that is, the monks who are not flying swords are either at the top or at the bottom.
Qi Ren, the swordsman from the Northland, is obviously not at the bottom.
Qi Ren is said to have been a mortal martial artist, a sword, and then fortunate enough to enter the path of cultivation, he has always been a sword, when fighting, he likes to fight in close quarters, and the situation is somewhat similar to Zhang Bufu.
Following the residual breath of the battlefield between Meng Fenghua and Xining two days ago, Qi Ren carefully pursued for two days, and gradually locked the general area.
In the Heavenly Realm of the Northern Land, among the three people with a resounding reputation, the Zuo Butcher was the first to shoot, two swords, and Meng Fenghua stopped.
Xi Ning made the second shot, a sword, and Meng Fenghua was injured and detoured.
Now, the swordsman Qi Ren is about to go out with a knife, what should Meng Fenghua do?
There may be many people who are looking forward to the strength and weakness of this battle, but unfortunately, there is no third person present at the moment who is lucky enough to watch this battle.
Qi Ren carried a knife on his waist, walked to a giant tree ten zhang away and stopped, at the same time, Meng Fenghua, who closed his eyes and crossed his knees, felt something in his heart, and opened his eyes to look over.
"Beidi Qiren, dare to ask the little brother Gao's surname. ”
Qi Ren's voice was very simple, like that inconspicuous yellow earth.
Meng Fenghua saw the knife on Qi Ren's waist at a glance, and immediately knew who it was, and said, "What I didn't expect was that the first one to find would be the famous Northern Swordsman." ”
Meng Fenghua's gaze slowly moved up to Qi Ren's face, and he said slowly: "Meng Fenghua, it's a great honor. ”
When Qi Ren heard this, he looked at Meng Fenghua and said, "Meng Fenghua, is it the meaning of Fenghua peerless? ”
Meng Fenghua smiled and said, "This is a fact that everyone knows, and you don't need to elaborate more." ”
Regarding Meng Fenghua's provocative words, Qi Ren didn't seem to hear them, his deep gaze stayed on Meng Fenghua, and said, "How are your injuries?"
"Seven-seven-eight-eight. Meng Fenghua replied nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Qi Ren was silent for a while and said, "No matter what your injuries are today, I will go with the knife." ”
"Otherwise, why are you coming to me, could it be that you are a big man who came to talk to me?" Meng Fenghua's words were full of mockery.
Meng Fenghua is not a good temper, and when he is chased and killed, it is naturally impossible to speak kindly.
Qi Ren nodded, did not answer, gently stroked the scabbard on his waist, and then pressed his hand on the hilt and slowly pulled out the knife.
Meng Fenghua was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, pinching the trick in his hand, and the flying sword on his back came out of the sheath with a bang.
Silently, the qi in the two of them was already operating to the maximum extent, and if you look closely, you can see that the two of them are surrounded by invisible ripples in circles.
Qi Ren was good at hand-to-hand combat, and after completely pulling out the knife in the sheath, he carried the knife and walked towards Meng Fenghua, who was cross-legged in front of him.
Qi Ren doesn't like to talk during the day, but today he talks a lot, just because Meng Fenghua has a battle example of fighting with Zuo Butcher and Xi Ning first, and he can retreat with his whole body, which proves that his extraordinary sword skills are worthy of his reputation, Qi Ren is here today, one is for the phoenix bath fruit, and the other is to confirm it.
It's just that Qi Ren feels a little regretful that Meng Fenghua is injured at this time, and he is not in his heyday.
However, Qi Ren is not a pedantic person, as he said to Meng Fenghua just now, no matter what your injuries are today, I will make a knife. This Northland swordsman has always followed a principle, no matter what, when the knife is out, he must go all out.
Meng Fenghua didn't know Xi Ning, but he knew that this Qi Ren, who had a knife in his hand and had slashed a prestigious name in the north, how could he dare to let him get close? When Qi Ren's footsteps began to move forward, Meng Fenghua formed a seal in his hand, and the flying sword hovering above his head suddenly sounded a sword roar, and he instantly rushed forward and killed Qi Ren who was moving forward with the knife.
There is a saying in the land of Northern Cultivation that says, "Qi Ren with a knife, the left butcher who rises up", Meng Fenghua was full of ambition after leaving the school, and for a while he wanted to find two people to test the sharpness of his flying sword, but unfortunately he did not succeed at that time, but in just a few days, he did not need to look for it, these two people found the door one by one, and even Xi Ning, who rarely appeared in front of people, appeared.
In the face of this situation, Meng Fenghua could only sigh in his heart that he was really afraid of something, if he fought with Qi Ren before this, Meng Fenghua would inevitably be happy to see the hunt, but now in this situation, there is an injury in his body, so how can Meng Fenghua be interested?
In the field, Qi Ren focused slightly, Meng Fenghua's sword was too fast, and only the afterimage could be seen with the naked eye, Qi Ren held the knife in both hands, and the qi in his body maintained a high-speed operation, relying on his feelings, he suddenly slashed in front of him.
"Bell!" slashed right on the side of the flying sword.
Qi Ren held the knife in his hand, the strength was heavier, and the back of the knife was heavier, which was heavier than the sword, Meng Fenghua's sword was fast, but in the case of Qi Ren's accurate judgment, the first contact did not take advantage, and the flying sword was slashed out of the original trajectory by Qi Ren, and it was more than eight inches to the side.
Meng Fenghua was not surprised, he picked up the complicated seal in his hand, and the flying sword instantly adjusted the sword body dexterously, regrouped, and went straight to Qi Ren's throat.
The speed of the sword is only one of Meng Fenghua's advantages, and the most critical point to ensure its combat power is the dexterity of its flying sword, when other people's flying swords can only be adjusted awkwardly, Meng Fenghua's flying sword has already regrouped and launched a second offensive.
The sword body, which was still slightly shocked in the last second, turned into an afterimage and killed Qi Ren the moment it was pinched out in Meng Fenghua's hand.
Qi Ren was surprised at the moment, although he had been mentally prepared before coming, but after experiencing the speed and dexterity of Meng Fenghua's flying sword, he still couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, Qi Ren was not good at words, if he had to let him describe it, he was afraid that he could only use the sentence praised before the fight just now to describe it.
Facing the second round of the flying sword's offensive, this time the distance was closer, Qi Ren was not good at swinging the knife sharply, and the side of the knife in his hand was pulled horizontally, and it was placed in front of his throat, just to pinch the flying sword.
The blade of the sword rushed past with the friction of the blade, emitting a series of piercing noises, although the swords of the two were all contained qi machines, but the speed of the flying sword was too fast, and during the piercing friction between the blades and the blades, there were actually a little sparks.
Immediately afterwards, there was an unbelievable scene.
I saw that the flying sword that rushed past only continued to fly out of a distance of less than five zhang, and there was no need to slow down at all, as Meng Fenghua's complicated seal changed, the flying sword that still carried a huge momentum suddenly stopped, twisted it in the air, turned its head in an instant, and then instantly increased its speed, killing Qi Ren's heart from behind.
If someone can witness this kind of operation, they will inevitably be shocked and rub their eyes to confirm whether they are dazzled. When the momentum of the flying sword has not slowed down, according to common sense, if you want to turn around, you must either go around in a big circle, or continue to fly forward, and wait for the momentum to slow down before proceeding.
Meng Fenghua, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, finished pinching out the seal, his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat, his breathing was instantly much heavier, and blood gradually flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
Meng Fenghua already had injuries in his body, although he had stabilized a lot after two days of conditioning, but now under the sudden overoperation of the qi in his body, the injuries in his body suddenly showed signs of eruption.
In the field, after Qi Ren flew out of the flying sword towards the rear, he didn't think much about it, and inertly prepared to follow his own way of fighting, seize the time difference between the flying sword and turn around, and quickly pull in the distance with Meng Fenghua's own deity.
This is also the reason why Qi Ren chose to fight on the ground, only when he is on the ground, can he give full play to the advantages of hand-to-hand combat that he is good at with weapons in hand.
If it was fought in the air, then Qi Ren's advantage in hand-to-hand combat would be drastically reduced. If you change to an opponent who understands Qi Ren, you will inevitably fly your sword into the air at the beginning of the battle, and such a first move can weaken Qi Ren's many advantages.
But Meng Fenghua obviously didn't know Qi Ren well enough, and he had been sitting still from the beginning.
But it doesn't matter, Qi Ren can have a great reputation in the Northland, and it is not something that can be easily defeated by cutting some advantages, such methods must have been tried before, but Qi Ren's name is still resounding, which can explain a lot of things.
In the field, Qi Ren had just taken a step, ready to rush forward to close the distance, when suddenly there was a tingling pain in his heart, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart, and he turned back suddenly, but he happened to see the scene of Meng Fenghua's flying sword going against common sense, twisting around in the air and killing himself again with extreme speed.
Qi Ren was shocked, instantly stopped the figure of rushing forward, the hands holding the knife tightened, the waist collapsed, and the feet turned around, driving the whole body to twist over, and the qi in the body ran wildly, splitting Huashan with all his strength, and slashed down with all his might.
If it weren't for the fact that years of fighting experience at this moment told Qi Ren that this scene was true, he really wanted to rub his eyes and see if he was dazzled.
