Chapter 4: Unforgettable Opponents (5)
The disciples present all felt that Duan Xiyun's move was too willful and reckless, and they were laughing at each other in their hearts. Jin Ming in the audience was even more worried: "Yun'er must be crazy, although he has recently cultivated a lot, but after all, the entry time is too short, and his spiritual power cultivation is always limited, how is it an opponent in Qinghai, it is simply unknowable." ”
On the contrary, Jin Ping, who carefully observed Duan Xiyun, found that his eyes were firm, confident, and without the slightest fear, and he was even more curious: "I don't know what kind of surprise this kid will give people?"
Qinghai and Duan Xiyun were on the stage at the same time, and the rules in the view were that the two of them must first approach and bow their hands. "If you will kneel down to me and beg for mercy, perhaps I will have great mercy on you to suffer a little flesh and skin. When the two approached, Qinghai whispered in Duan Xiyun's ear. "Don't be delusional, I will never beg for mercy from a villain like you. Duan Xiyun really just regarded this competition as a goodwill contest between fellow sects, but he didn't expect that the other party actually had other evil intentions and couldn't help but be angry. "Heh, then don't blame my men for being ruthless. Qinghai finished speaking and walked away from the corner.
"The competition begins. Jin Ping spoke.
As soon as the words fell, the two had already put on a posture. Qinghai sneered, strode and swung his fist straight forward, only to see that his fist was full of aura and whirring, which was the "waterfall flowing color" in Baiyun's long fist.
The fist was getting bigger and bigger in Duan Xiyun's pupils, his body was slightly sideways, the trajectory of the Qinghai fist with his left hand had deviated, his right elbow hit the middle of Qinghai at the same time, and his right fist hit Qinghai in front of the back of his fist.
Even with the fighting, the attack in the attack, continuously, Duan Xiyun's shot was too fast, completely beyond Qinghai's imagination, he had not yet reacted to the ground, he had been knocked to the ground, nosebleed, he tried to get up with his hands, but his head was dizzy and his feet were floating, and he couldn't stand for a while.
"Ah......" The people present exclaimed, they couldn't believe the fact that they saw with their eyes, Qinghai was beaten by a freshman and couldn't get up. In particular, Qing Xuan and Qing Song were a little shocked, and their original revenge plan had been in vain.
In fact, Duan Xiyun didn't expect that his inner anger would have this power with a full blow, originally the gap between Qinghai and Duan Xiyun was not very big, the first was because he had no one in his eyes, the second was because Duan Xiyun got the help of the Tianshan Snow Spirit Pill and continued to practice spiritual power day and night, and at this moment, the spiritual power cultivation was above Qinghai, and the third was that Duan Xiyun practiced with Ziyang, a great martial arts master, every day, and he already knew the flaws in Baiyun's long fist moves, and the move he used to break Qinghai just now was the move that Ziyang used to defeat himself when he was usually practicing against him. ["Well done."] Ziyang said happily. ]
"Convincing or not?" Duan Xiyun struck a blow, and immediately raised his fist to fight the tiger condescendingly, and the momentum was extraordinary. "Yes. Qinghai was unwilling, but he wondered in his chest that he couldn't get back for the time being, and seeing that the other party was menacing, he had no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat.
At this time, the cheers erupted from the new brother who was just starting out, and the sound was like thunder. Yan Shan, Qing Shi, Jin Ming and others were sad, and they also secretly praised Duan Xiyun in their hearts.
At this time, Ziyang suddenly felt a familiar aura fluctuation.
Qing Song came to the stage and helped Qinghai up and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you." Qinghai replied, full of shame, and stepped down on his own. Qingsong stood on the stage and arched his hand: "Back to the master, Senior Brother Qingyun also promised to compete with his disciple at that time, and I hope the master will agree." ”
"It's also a good thing for fellow students to compete with each other and improve themselves, and of course it's allowed to be a teacher. Jin Ping didn't know what Qing Song was harboring evil thoughts, and he wanted to know even more about what kind of surprise this Duan Xiyun would give people?
Duan Xiyun had the victory just now, and his confidence doubled, and he didn't refuse. Jin Ming handed over the long sword below and instructed: "You can't be reckless in everything, remember to be careful if the sword has no eyes." ”
"Thank you, Uncle for mentioning. Duan Xiyun took the sword in his hand, and grasped the hilt of the sword tightly, with an inexplicable feeling of reassurance.
Jin Ping gave an order, and the two of them took a stand at the same time.
At this time, the disciple guarding the mountain gate suddenly walked to Jin Ping's side and said a few words, Jin Ping nodded in surprise, and the disciple of the mountain gate immediately rushed away.
It turned out to be a rare guest Shangguan Rui who visited, and after saying goodbye to the people in the Zhenwuguan that day, he soon came to Yangcheng, because he didn't know where Duan Xiyun lived, so the first thing he did was to go to the Lin Mansion to inquire. It just so happened that Lord Lin had something to do and went out and only met the housekeeper. From the housekeeper's mouth, he learned that Duan Xiyun had gone to Baiyun Mountain with the young master of the Lin family to study the arts. He refused the housekeeper's repeated retention, and rushed to Baiyun Mountain without stopping, just when he met the annual big competition of Siyunguan.
This way.
The two people on the stage began to make the same sword moves, only to see the two of them lightly jump in the air and turn around with a sword "bell", and the two swords collided. Qinghai first landed on the ground and swept a kick to make the opponent have no place to stand, Duan Xiyun moved back and jumped back to the sword to the ground and swept back, making it the "Heyi Stacked Water" in Baiyun Songtao's swordsmanship. Qing Song's quick reaction and light body were light, and his feet shrank and jumped up, and Duan Xiyun's long sword just skipped past the soles of his feet. Qingsong's feet just landed on the ground, strode forward diagonally, and went around behind the opponent, and suddenly landed on one foot and reflexively slashed the back of the opponent's neck.
Duan Xiyun hurriedly erected his long sword to block it, Qing Song immediately changed his move back to the sword and slashed the opponent's waist obliquely, Duan Xiyun's long sword dragged down and blocked the opponent's ruthless move.
As soon as the two of them got into each other, they were inseparable, and the moves were endless, varied, and elegant, deeply reflecting the mystery of Baiyun Songtao's swordsmanship.
The people in the audience praised it again and again, and the people in the golden generation were surprised to realize that there was such a master among the new disciples. Qing Xuan and Qinghai couldn't help but be shocked: "Why did this kid's cultivation suddenly become so powerful, could it be that he has always been hidden?"
Siyunguan martial arts pays attention to both internal and external cultivation, from the inside to the outside, with the aura of the sword, at this time the sword energy on the stage is rippling. I saw Duan Xiyun make "Heyi Stacked Water" sweep the other party's plate again. Seeing the opportunity, Qingsong jumped up, the tip of the sword was like a phoenix, nodded and swung it with all his strength, which was the killing move in Baiyun Songtao's swordsmanship, "Flying Goose into the Clouds". Duan Xiyun's feet were still not standing, and when he was in danger, his legs were flattened, and his long sword was raised horizontally, and he took the opponent's fierce moves. Xin said: "Ziyang is right, watching people make moves is just talking on paper, and the situation is ever-changing when he really makes moves, and it is really not easy to find his flaws." ”
Because Qingsong is also a good sword player, this set of Baiyun Songtao swordsmanship has been immersed for many years, and his proficiency in swordsmanship is better than Duan Xiyun's, and it is difficult for the two to distinguish between the two of them in a hundred moves. And Qing Song also had to admire Duan Xiyun's flexibility in retracting and releasing his moves as he wanted, the only thought in his heart was that Jin Ming had secretly passed on his sword practice skills, otherwise his kendo cultivation would not have improved by leaps and bounds.
When Qing Song made this move "Flying Goose into the Clouds", Xiyun had come up with a way to break the trick and win narrowly, he jumped up with both feet, and deliberately turned around to sweep the opponent's next plate. Seeing this, Qing Song's move was as he pleased, and he immediately used the "Flying Goose into the Clouds" long sword to stab. Duan Xiyun saw the opportunity and immediately turned sideways to make a move, and the "Spring Ming Deep Valley" long sword shot up from below.
"This is the trick you need to win or lose!"
Qing Song's sword momentum was condescending, and the tip of the sword narrowly slashed through the opponent's chest and abdomen, while Duan Xiyun's sword tip had already touched the opponent's throat from the bottom up. ["Xiaoyun, this trick is wonderful!" Ziyang praised heartily. ]
"Wonderful, wonderful, to be able to come up with this move in such a dangerous situation, just a slight change in the sword move has the effect of breaking the move, it is indeed rare to be able to use the sword move in such a subtle situation. Jinping couldn't help but applaud. After Jinping, the audience applauded and cheered, one after another. Everyone was applauding for the wonderful sword competition between the two, but only Qing Xuan, there was an indescribable sense of fear in her heart, this feeling was not very substantial, but it was indeed entangled in the depths of her heart, she didn't know where this fear came from, she only vaguely felt that it was related to the person in front of her, "Duan Xiyun".
"Senior Brother Qingyun's swordsmanship is exquisite, I lost. Although Qingsong was unwilling, he also admired the other party's insight and adaptability, and put away his sword and handed it over.
The disciples of the Shoushan Sect led the Rui into the view, and they all saw this contest in their eyes, and exclaimed in their hearts: "With Duan Xiyun's cultivation, it should be easier for him to win if he exerts all his strength." Because he didn't know that the opponent he had been thinking about in his heart was Ziyang and not Duan Xiyun. "Wen Shi sent Shangguan Rui to meet the head of Jinping. ”
The people present had not yet come out of the surprise just now, and now they heard that Shangguan Rui, a rare guest who had never thought of it, would suddenly appear in Siyun Temple, and the sudden strange thing made everyone look at the people outside the audience with a slightly dull and surprised gaze.
"I don't know why Shangguan Xian's nephew came to Siyun Temple?" Jin Ping asked in surprise.
"Shangguan Rui, why did you appear here?" Duan Xiyun muttered. ["It turns out that the familiar aura fluctuation just now is Shangguan Rui. Ziyang's doubts disappeared. ]
"It turns out that you are a disciple of Siyun Guan, no wonder you have this cultivation!" Shangguan Rui said: "Back to the head of Jinping, the junior is here to find Duan Xiyun, a disciple of your sect, can you allow the junior to borrow a step to talk to him?"
Duan Xiyun looked at Jin Ping, saw him nodding and signaling permission, so he walked down the martial platform and came to Shangguan Rui's side.
"We just had a one-sided relationship, and we didn't have anything to do with it after that, what's the matter with coming here to find me?" Duan Xiyun didn't dare to meet Shangguan Rui's firm and persistent eyes, and said with a slight sideways face.
"Since that's the case, I'll say it bluntly, maybe you've forgotten about me as a person, but I've never forgotten the events of the day, every time I practice alone, I think of you, how much I long to be with you again, but I know my current strength, it's not time yet. When I knew that you were a disciple of Siyunguan, I already had the answer in my heart, your Taichen Twelve Views will hold a Wanguan Conference every three years, and a sharp disciple like you will definitely be selected to participate, I have thought very clearly along the way just now, and I have made up my mind to worship in the True Martial Arts, and I will compete with you again at the Wanguan Conference next year. I have come here to tell you what I have said. Shangguan Rui said the words in his heart directly to Duan Xiyun, his face showed a relieved and relaxed feeling, and when he spoke, he looked firmly at Duan Xiyun, to see what he would reply?
["Shangguan Rui is talented and intelligent, and the opponents he has always faced are adult people who are older than himself, which makes him feel lonely in his heart, and perhaps he also longs for a person of his age and strength to be an opponent, competing with each other and chasing each other. Ziyang saw a little bit of his youthful shadow in Shangguan Rui. ]
["It turns out that Shangguan Rui has never forgotten Ziyang, and he has been trying to catch up with Ziyang persistently. Duan Xiyun suddenly had blood surging in his chest, clenched his fists and said clearly: "I, wait, you." But in his heart he said, "You will wait for me until I catch up with you." ”
["Xiaoyun often mentions Shangguan Rui in his words, but in fact, in his heart, he has unconsciously set Shangguan Rui as a target to try to catch up. How good youth is!" Ziyang sighed. ]
Shangguan Rui smiled excitedly and relievedly when he heard this, turned to Jinping and said, "Please forgive the head of Jinping for the rudeness and willfulness of the juniors." ”
"That's how young people should be, and I know your feelings very well when I've been young myself. Jinping said.
"The juniors came to visit uninvited, please forgive me for the inconsiderate manners. The younger generation has finished saying what he wants to say, and he doesn't want to bother anymore, and there will be a period later. Shangguan Rui shook it to the end, and turned around after the salute.
"There will be a period later, say hello to the head of Tianyu on my behalf. Jinping said.
Everyone present was speculating about what the two had said in a short moment.
Jin Ming felt that this matter was very intriguing and said: "It seems that something did happen between Shangguan Rui and Yun'er, is it really as Yan Shan said, Shangguan Rui was defeated by Yun'er's men? But their battle was before Yun'er entered the view, at that time Yun'er's cultivation should be zero, and Shangguan Rui is rumored to be close to the strength of the people in my generation, the two are simply the same, what strange things happened in the middle......
Jin Ping didn't want to interfere too much in the private affairs of young people, and he didn't ask. The competition between the disciples has been completed, and he has a plan in his heart to walk up to the competition platform and speak: "This year's Great Sect has been successfully concluded, and everyone's performance is quite good, and it is not in vain to practice penance in the meditation for a year. As the teacher said just now, today's evaluation results are very important, and you must know what it means, and our Taichen Twelve Views will be held every three years in September next year, and the time is not far away, but it will be only nine months away. For the teacher will select six people from the disciples who are outstanding and of the right age in the competition just now, and the teacher will personally train and prepare for next year's Wanguan Conference of Mount Tai Feng Zen Tai. ”
When the disciples heard this, they were in an uproar, and it was a supreme honor to be able to participate in the Wanguan Conference on behalf of Siyunguan, and at that time, regardless of victory or defeat, the disciples of the same sect would also be impressed, and they might also be appointed by the head of the sect to take charge of the Guanzhong, and they would get a lot of preferential treatment in the Guanzhong.
Jin Ping continued: "Now the disciples who read out their names are listed, Qingyuan, Qinglei, Qingtong, Qingxuan, and Qingsong...... There is also Qingyun. ”
The disciples who were read by name came out one after another, but Duan Xiyun stayed in the local area blankly when he heard Jin Pingxuan's shout, because he couldn't believe his ears. ["Xiaoyun stand up quickly, everyone is waiting for you."] Ziyang reminded him. Duan Xiyun woke up like a dream and stood up in a daze.
This is an unprecedented example, although he is only a new disciple, after the two battles just now, he has fully demonstrated his sharp strength, and the other disciples who have not been selected, especially Qinghai, are also convinced.
Cao Qingshi in the back row looked at Duan Xiyun's background in the gap of the crowd stupidly, feeling that he had indeed changed a lot in the past year, and he was no longer the ignorant teenager who was trick-or-treating all day long. His pace was too fast, and he was getting farther and farther away from himself, as if he would disappear from his sight at any moment...... The more you know how to appreciate, the more you know how to appreciate and ask for recommendations......
