Chapter 18: An Unexpected Confrontation

Dongting Ten Shadows, also known as Dongting Ten Uniques.

The Ten Absolute is the original creation of the Ten Absolute Old Men, the founding patriarch of the Dongting School, and it is the foundation of the Dongting School's foothold in the rivers and lakes.

Ning Chen's cultivation of the Cloud Shadow Sword also felt more and more incomprehensible, every time he thought that he had already understood the moves, he found that on the existing basis, there were deeper changes, some of which were not shown by Xia Yuanshan when he was practicing just now!

Three hours have passed, and Ning Chen has not even understood the first style, but his cultivation in swordsmanship has made great progress in a thousand days.

It's not that Ning Chen hasn't seen advanced swordsmanship, there are countless swordsmanship in the Sword Pavilion, and there are at least ten kinds of swordsmanship that surpass the Cloud Shadow Sword, not to mention the swordsmanship of the same grade as the Cloud Shadow Sword.

"The starting point is too high. Ning Chen exhaled a deep breath and stood still.

Although my foundation is extremely solid, I don't have a framework to build it on.

Now the feeling for Ning Chen is that the foundation has been laid, but when the support has not been built, he has already covered himself with beams.

It's hard!

Ning Chen smiled bitterly, powerful martial arts had been taught to him, but because of his lack of background and accumulation, there was no way to completely eat it thoroughly for the time being.

"Martial arts, it's really not quick. Ning Chen couldn't help but sigh: "I need more accumulation." ”

"Good boy. Ning Chen didn't expect that his every move was clearly seen by Xia Yuanshan, who had entered the house before, including his last sentence - martial arts are not fast, my accumulation is not enough!

"Even a little doll can see through the truth, but I couldn't see through it back then!" Xia Yuanshan smiled bitterly, looked at Ning Chen who was in a daze in the courtyard, and secretly sighed in his heart: "The young people now are really amazing. ”

"Someone is coming!" Ning Chen's ears moved slightly, and he heard footsteps approaching.

Ning Chen thought secretly: "Could it be a few senior brothers?"

"Who are you?" Ning Chen saw a young man with a somewhat gloomy color walk into the courtyard, and then asked himself, with a strong hostility in his words: "Why are you here?"

"In Xia Chen Ning, he is a new disciple accepted by the master. Ning Chen was secretly vigilant, and suddenly looked at the young man and asked, "It's you, who are you, why do you dare to come to the island at will." ”

"How could I not know that the master accepts disciples. The young man's face changed when he heard Ning Chen's words, the package in his hand had already been put aside, the long sword was in his hand, and he looked at Ning Chen vigilantly and said, "The master has never come out of the island, how can he accept the disciple, which academy are you from, quickly recruit from the truth!"

"Hmph!" Ning Chen was not to be outdone, the sword in his hand was also unsheathed again, stared at the young man and said, "Which academy did you send from, did you know that the master wanted to do something wrong in this retreat?"

"Don't talk nonsense, let me try your martial arts, and I will see the difference!" The young man was unwilling to talk to Ning Chen, so he directly took out his sword.

Flowing water!

Ning Chen had just been taught by Xia Yuanshan, and he was worried that no one would feed him to consolidate the memory of swordsmanship, and when he saw the young man's swordsmanship at this moment, he already knew that this person was Xia Yuanshan's disciple.

The Cloud Shadow Sword Technique, although it is one of the top ten in the Dongting Garden, is quite difficult to cultivate, except for the East Lake Courtyard, no one has cultivated this sword technique.

Therefore, Ning Chen dared to confirm the identity of this person.

"I didn't expect to have a bad relationship with a senior brother as soon as I came. Ning Chen felt a little helpless in his heart, why was he hot-headed just now, if he took out the small wooden knife that the master handed over to him just now, would there be nothing to do soon?

However, thinking that he could confirm his swordsmanship, Ning Chen suppressed the idea just now, and also carried the first form of the Cloud Shadow Sword, flowing water and clouds.

"What?" As soon as the two of them fought, the young man who had been invading the Cloud Shadow Sword for many years immediately recognized Ning Chen's move.

"If you steal the swordsmanship of our academy, you should be punished for your crime!" The young man was even more furious, because he found that the other party's attainments in the Cloud Shadow Sword were really extraordinary, and he had already gained a trace of the true meaning of swordsmanship.

This is the result of years of penance!

The reason why he made a test was to determine Ning Chen's martial arts path and deduce his origin from this.

If he doesn't know martial arts at all, then it may naturally be a new disciple of the master, and after it is confirmed, it is a big deal for him to be a senior brother and apologize, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, and he is not afraid of the master's blame, and the young man has no psychological burden.

But when he saw the swordsmanship against Ning Chen, he was really angry, and such swordsmanship must not be a day's work, it must be more than three years.

I don't know what disciples my master accepted three years ago!

"This person must be a spy from another courtyard, who came to steal martial arts!" The young man's swordsmanship was faster than a sword, and seeing that Ning Chen was just using a style of flowing water to fight the enemy, he naturally did not want to fall behind.

He is the real one, how can he beat a fake stealing scholar!

The arrogance of the young man was stimulated, how could Ning Chen show weakness at this time, he felt the pressure, the huge pressure.

Forcibly smelting, although the swordsmanship of the unknown senior brother in front of him did not have the heat of Xia Yuanshan, but it was several times better than himself.

"What a chance!" Ning Chen's eyes also flashed with a true essence, and even a trace of internal force that had just been activated was injected into the sword.

"Smack!"

The swords of the two suddenly sucked together.

The young man's internal strength is undoubtedly stronger than Ning Chen, but Ning Chen's own strength should not be underestimated.

For a time, it turned out to be a stalemate.

"Good boy!"

One sentence immediately reflected the gap between the two at this moment, Ning Chen was already covered in sweat, and he was engrossed in not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

But the other party did not show the slightest tiredness while speaking.

There was no problem with this, it was those narrow and cold eyes that made Ning Chen's heart tremble slightly.

What a gaze!

Murderous, murderous!

Ning Chen could be sure that there must be a lot of blood on this person's hands.

"It seems that the defeat has been decided, if the explanation is not clear, I am afraid that I will die at the hands of this person!" Ning Chen gritted his teeth, and suddenly his eyes rolled, and he showed a smile at the other party.

When the young man was surprised, he heard Ning Chen's loud voice: "Master, there are assassins!"

He originally wanted to kill him, but when he heard this sentence, the sword in his hand couldn't help but pause for a moment, "Could it be that he is really a new disciple of the master?"

"Two scoundrels!"

Xia Yuanshan walked out of the room with a straight face.

Whether it was Ning Chen or the young man, seeing Xia Yuanshan's face at this time, they all secretly screamed in their hearts at the same time.

It's just that how did they know that Xia Yuanshan saw the whole process of their action in his eyes, and when he saw Ning Chen in crisis, he wanted to rescue him more than once.

He didn't know that this was Ning Chen's chance, but when he finally heard Ning Chen's sentence "There is an assassin", he couldn't help but smile.

Ning Chen's first form has been practiced.
