Chapter 4 The Beginning of the Edge
Luyan Mountain stretches vertically and horizontally, with an altitude of 1,000 meters, and the mountain gate of the Sword Painting School is located halfway up the mountain.
Walking on the edge of the martial arts arena, through the white fog, Shi Xiaole could see the heavy houses of Cuiyu City in the distance when he looked down, and he could see the overlapping snow-covered green mountains when he looked up, which was really picturesque, and inexplicably made people have the illusion of being in a fairyland.
Shi Xiaole was in a good mood and turned around and walked towards the center of the martial arts arena.
It's very lively here, and as far as the eye can see, there are about hundreds of disciples, martial arts competitions, exchanges, and a large number of people gathered in front of the stone wall on the east side of the martial arts arena, as if they were discussing something.
"This Yue Tianlin is really fierce, it is said that he is only sixteen years old, and he has actually practiced to the realm of the sixfold qi absorption, tsk, far better than me. ”
"Compared with his record, what is the realm of internal strength? This Yue Tianlin, who had just debuted, killed the Thirteen Kous of Liuyun with one sword, and a few days ago, he swept through the notorious Tiger Village in Qingxue Prefecture, and now many people have given him the reputation of a dragon swordsman. ”
"Yue Tianlin is indeed powerful, but the level of the Chasing Sword is not weak, no matter the strength and record, it is not inferior to the Dragon Swordsman, and it is a strong contender for the four young swordsmen of the new generation in my Qingxue Prefecture. ”
Shi Xiaole stood outside the crowd, glanced at the stickers on the stone wall, and knew it.
In order to encourage the disciples in the sect to practice diligently, every once in a while, the Sword Painting Sect would post interesting events that happened on the rivers and lakes, which was also one of the few topics that the disciples talked about.
This time, however, the reaction was particularly violent.
It's normal to think about it, there are 358 county seats under the jurisdiction of Qingxue Prefecture, and Cuiyu City, where the Sword Painting Sect is located, is just an insignificant one of them.
And being able to make a name for himself in the entire Qingxue Prefecture shows that Yue Tianlin and Guan Du are very powerful from the two peers.
"Actually, speaking of which, among the thirteen factions of my Luyan Mountain, Chu Lin of the Changfeng faction is not weak, it is said that last time in the rivers and lakes, he killed three masters of the Naqi Realm. ”
Someone brought the topic back to Luyan Mountain.
"Hmph, Chu Lin is strong, but our senior brother is not weak, he is also one of the four heroes of Lu Yan, and if the two of them don't fight, they may not be able to distinguish the winner from the loser. ”
"Yue Tianlin and the like, we don't have to think about it, if we can catch up with the pace of Senior Brother and others in this life, we will be satisfied. ”
Someone shook his head and sighed, as if there was helplessness in his tone.
"It's really shameless, is Senior Brother also comparable to garbage like you?"
A mocking voice rang out just in time.
"Who?"
The young man who had spoken earlier turned red and turned his head to look around.
The crowd was pushed away, and a young man with a long sword at his waist and a thin face walked slowly and said with a smile: "It's me." ”
The young man who spoke earlier shouted, "Crazy Zhao, what are you crazy about?"
Zhao Buping has an impulsive personality, acts extremistically, and even has a tyrannical aura in his martial arts, so he is called Zhao Madman. When he is free, no one wants to mess with him, but when it comes to face, the young man can't bear it.
"I'm just not used to it, a scumbag, also worthy of being called chasing senior brother, are you insulting the Sword Painting Sect?"
Zhao Buping's slender fingers rubbed the hilt of the sword and said with a faint smile.
The young man said angrily: "Who do you say is a scumbag, do you think you are very powerful? ”
This sentence struck Zhao Buping's sore spot, making his face suddenly hideous, and he actually pulled out a sword and struck the young man who spoke with the blade of the sword.
This move was quite unexpected, and in his busy schedule, the young man had to draw his sword to meet him. But one is to shoot with all his strength, the other is to meet in a hurry, and Zhao Buping's own strength is higher, so one looks at the face, the young man's long sword is out of his hand, and the person is pulled to the ground.
Zhao Buping didn't stop, this time the long sword flicked, creating a layer of fluctuating sword wind, which shocked all the disciples to dodge quickly, but exposed the young man and another person on the ground.
That person was Shi Xiaole.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Shi Xiaole felt that this sword of the madman Zhao didn't seem to be coming towards the boy on the ground.
Hold the hilt of the sword in your hand and draw it out of its sheath.
Sonor!
Three sparks flew out, Zhao Buping sneered with his sword, but Shi Xiaole took three steps back.
"Senior Brother Shi. ”
The boy on the ground hurriedly stood up, his heart beating faster. Although he was sure that because of the door rules, Madman Zhao would never dare to really hurt himself, but he still had palpitations at that moment.
Zhao Buping looked at Shi Xiaole and said, "I want to teach people a lesson, and no one will want to interfere, Shi Xiaole, are you itching?"
Shi Xiaole said: "Everyone is the same brother and brother, if there is no deep hatred and grudge, why bother?"
"You're teaching me?"
Zhao Buping's eyes flashed, but he remembered what the Great Elder said last night.
"It's not fair, you want to find a way, pretend to accidentally abolish Shi Xiaole, and then there will be an old man to mediate for you, at most, it will be a hundred days to face the wall, and when you come out, the old man will accept you as an apprentice. ”
Zhao Buping knew that his talents were limited, and according to the trajectory of normal development, he would end up being a sect deacon at most in this life, but once he was accepted as a disciple by the Great Elder, as long as the other party was willing to cultivate, it was possible to become the next Great Elder.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Great Elder refuses to cultivate, the identity of a Great Elder's personal disciple is equivalent to raising Zhao Buping's identity by a notch.
And in order to achieve all this, the price paid is just a hundred days.
The wildfire in Zhao Buping's heart suddenly rose.
"It's not a lecture for you, it's just a statement of ideas. ”
Shi Xiaole had no intention of arguing with people, and turned around to leave.
"Wait, Senior Brother Shi, I heard that half a month ago, you passed the annual test with an injured body, presumably your strength is not bad, how about we have a competition?"
Zhao Buping said in a calm tone.
Shi Xiaole's heart moved, and said, "No need, I'm not Senior Brother Zhao's opponent." ”
Zhao Buping said with a smile: "I naturally know this, in order not to take advantage of you, I will cultivate the internal strength of the five levels of Tibetan Qi and suppress them in the double level of Tibetan Qi, and fight fairly." ”
This is strange, many of the disciples present looked at each other, what is crazy Zhao today?
The young man who was dealt with by Zhao Buping at first was the first to react, and shouted to Shi Xiaole: "Senior Brother Shi, don't be fooled! Zhao is mad at you just now, but I just want to humiliate you in another way." ”
Everyone also reacted one by one, this Zhao madman is really not a good thing.
"Senior Brother Shi, we are warriors, and we should have the pride of warriors. There has never been a handsome man in the rivers and lakes who would refuse the challenge of his peers. ”
Zhao Buping continued to provoke with words.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xiaole still refused: "I am only shallow in my studies, and I can't compare to Senior Brother Zhao." After saying that, he simply turned around and left.
Zhao Buping didn't expect Shi Xiaole to be so cowardly, and the public was stunned that he didn't fight. As soon as he thought of what the Great Elder had promised him, his eyes went crazy, and he shouted, "If you don't fight, you can't help it!"
Suppressing the cultivation in the double of Tibetan Qi, Zhao Buping stabbed at Shi Xiaole with a fierce sword, bringing a crisp sound of breaking the air and the exclamations of all the disciples.
Zhao Buping joined the Sword Painting School for two years, and it is said that he has cultivated the third-rate mid-grade sword technique and the painting plum sword technique to the point of consummation, so even if he suppresses the realm, he can easily defeat Shi Xiaole.
In the eyes of everyone, Shi Xiaole provoked Zhao Maniac today, which was really bad luck.
Sensing the sword wind behind him, Shi Xiaole's face turned cold, his steps flashed, and while drawing his sword to fight back, he shouted: "Don't force me." ”
Zhao Buping laughed: "Forcing you, do you think you are better than me?"
While speaking, Zhao Buping's swordsmanship was displayed endlessly, but it was not a painting plum swordsmanship, but a basic swordsmanship. He did this, naturally, to avoid being caught.
My cultivation was suppressed, and I still used basic swordsmanship, but Shi Xiaole was still in my hands, of course, this was not my intention, but he was too bad.
Shi Xiaole is not an impulsive person, and sometimes he is even willing to endure humiliation for the sake of the final result.
However, Zhao Buping obviously overestimated himself, and with his current state, he was not worthy of letting Shi Xiaole endure the humiliation.
"You're forcing each other everywhere, then don't blame me for being unkind!"
As soon as his mind sank, Shi Xiaole suddenly took out his sword.
This sword swing is also the basic swordsmanship of the Sword Painting School, but after a few swords, it immediately broke Zhao Buping's sword path.
At that time, Zhao Buping had not practiced the basic swordsmanship thoroughly, but because of the internal strength, he broke through to the fourfold Tibetan qi, and changed the painting plum swordsmanship in a hurry. Therefore, for a long time, his basic swordsmanship attainments have been maintained at the point of perfection.
No, to be correct, due to long-term neglect of practice, Zhao Buping's basic swordsmanship at the moment is even worse than back then, at most it is close to perfection.
In this way, the gap is immediately apparent.
"What?"
Shi Xiaole's wrist was dexterous, and a sword was handed out, and each sword sealed Zhao Buping's path to death, which was completely crushing, which made Zhao Buping both shocked and angry.
And the disciples around him are more like discovering a new continent.
"Okay! It turns out that Shi Xiaole, you are deeply hidden, and you have actually cultivated the basic swordsmanship to the point of Shenhe Xiaocheng, it seems that I am still too merciful. ”
Under the enragment, Zhao Buping decided to use the painting plum sword technique to abolish this kid with the power of thunder.
The corners of Shi Xiaole's mouth hooked, and the speed of the sword suddenly accelerated, forcing Zhao Buping to be in a hurry, and he couldn't change his sword moves for a while.
"Senior Brother Zhao, you don't need to suppress cultivation, you are not my opponent in the same rank. ”
While handing the sword, Shi Xiaole said.
"You're looking for death!"
Shi Xiaole's words just blocked Zhao Buping's plan to burst out with all his strength, after all, he had suppressed his cultivation before, and now if he can't beat it, he can't afford to lose this face.
硁硁硁......
After more than a dozen moves, Shi Xiaole had the upper hand, but he was just one breath away and couldn't completely defeat Zhao Buping.
Shi Xiaole knew that the problem was in his own internal strength.
The basic mental method of the Sword Painting School, after all, is too low-level, lacking explosive power and staying power, after such a dozen moves of fierce fighting, his internal strength is already a little lacking.
On the other hand, Zhao Buping, after all, is only suppressing the realm, and his own internal strength is much stronger than his own, and if he continues to fight for a long time, he will be defeated.
"Hehe, I'll see how long you last. ”
Zhao Buping obviously saw this too, and laughed hideously.
At this moment, Shi Xiaole's face turned cold, and he actually met Zhao Buping's sword blade and rushed up fiercely, and the long sword stabbed out from obliquely, and a dangerous rhythm suddenly emanated.
The first style of Huashan swordsmanship, white clouds out of Xiu.
Laugh at!
Zhao Buping's wrist hurt, and the long sword fell to the ground. Shi Xiaole took this opportunity to slap the opponent on the back of the head with a palm knife, and immediately knocked him out.
