Chapter 89: Sword Fighting Competition
Even if it is a crooked fight, Xiao Ning relied on the power of the momentum he comprehended from the Longyuan River, coupled with the description of the Fu Liu Sword Technique to borrow the power of the situation, and forced the figure of the battle puppet to pause for a short time. Although this short pause would definitely not exceed a breath, it was enough for Xiao Ning, and with the help of this breath, he had already jumped over the battle puppet and rushed into the Heavenly Dragon Valley.
Having lost its opponent, the battle puppet spun around in a daze, staying in place. His responsibility is to keep an eye on Xiao Ning, and now that Xiao Ning is gone, this battle puppet will naturally not move anymore.
"This kid is a good seedling!" Seeing that Xiao Ning really jumped over the battle puppet and rushed into Tianlong Valley, Qing Zhuzi's eyes also lit up slightly. In his opinion, Xiao Ning's rush over this time was no accident, everything was carefully designed, and a little flaw in the battle puppet was found from the beginning of the battle. In fact, it is not a flaw, nothing can be perfect, and this battle puppet is the same. Combat puppets take into account both strength and speed, and they will inevitably lose part of the defensive power, which requires them to have the means to defuse the attack force, but with the means to defuse the attack force, they will be affected by the power, and when they are attacked by a certain force, they will become less fluent. In fact, Qingzhuzi has known this weakness for a long time, and he also participated in the design stage of this puppet, so he still knows very well about the characteristics of the combat puppet.
To his surprise, Xiao Ning was able to find this small flaw in the battle puppet when he fought against this kind of battle puppet for the first time. This requires a very strong ability of observation and analysis, and when a person is fighting against a combat puppet, he also has to think about finding the weakness of the puppet and deducing the means of attack, so it is not possible for everyone to multitask.
Of course, this Qingzhuzi elder didn't know that after Xiao Ning obtained the Diamond Sutra and the Tao Te Ching, both his divine consciousness and his mind had made a qualitative leap. He still has this ability to deduce the tricks to defeat the battle puppet in battle.
Xiao Ning's way of entering the valley can be described as savage and violent, but the others seem to have been inspired, although they did not find the flaws of the battle puppet, but when they watched Xiao Ning fight with the puppet, they found the effect of power on the battle puppet, so they followed suit and fought hard with the battle puppet.
However, Xiao Ning found a flaw in the design of the battle puppet and passed the first level, but it doesn't mean that others can also pass the first level.
Outside the first level of Tianlong Valley, many inner disciples were already out of breath and tired. Their cultivation was not very weak, but in the face of these puppets, it was obviously worse, although they were unwilling, but they could only withdraw from this competition and return to the inner gate of the Five Elements Gate in advance.
Of course, although most of them have withdrawn, there are still about 20 people who have passed this first hurdle.
Xiao Ning is one, and Qin Changkong also followed after Xiao Ning broke through. His strength was already stronger than Xiao Ning, but he didn't find the opportunity to break through, Xiao Ning's breakthrough gave him a hint, so he rushed out in one go.
After Qin Changkong, Piaoyun, who was second on the Golden List of the Five Elements Gate, also rushed over. She is the best at soft strength, which is somewhat similar to Xiao Ning's strength, but Piaoyun's current cultivation is a sevenfold small achievement of the human law realm, and her strength is obviously higher than Xiao Ning.
After Qin Changkong and Piaoyun, Hua Xiong also broke through the level.
After Huaxiong, there were people who broke through, namely Gu Jiang, Xue Yuan, Jiang Muhua, Yun Hanfeng, Dong Tianlei, Gao Hu, Lu Ling, Cheng Nanfei, Hua Chao, Bo Yue, Du Yunlong, Zuo Sicheng, and Sima Gaoren.
More than half of these people are newcomers who have recently risen in the inner gate of the Five Elements Gate, saying that they are newcomers, but most of them are hiding their strength and planning to accumulate thick and thin, most of these people have a certain background/background, and they either have the support of their families or the support of the elders behind them.
Xiao Ning was the first to rush into the Heavenly Dragon Valley, and the others followed closely behind. They didn't want Xiao Ning to come out on top, especially a few guys who had a tense relationship with Xiao Ning, and they didn't want Xiao Ning to become a true disciple.
The most intense performance is Hua Chao, this kid has always been obsessed with the battle with Xiao Ning, and wants to find Xiao Ning's trouble, although he was stopped by his brother Hua Xiong, but in his heart he was still very unconvinced by Xiao Ning, so after rushing through the first level, he rushed towards the depths of the dragon desperately.
Hua Xiong was afraid that his younger brother would be impulsive and would suffer a loss if he made a move with Xiao Ning, so he also followed closely behind. However, although both of them were very positive, they were not the strongest of them all, so they were caught up before reaching the second level.
There were two people who caught up with them, one was Qin Changkong, the first person in the Golden List of the Inner Gate of the Five Elements Gate. The other is Piaoyun, who ranks second on the gold list.
These two people are worthy of being masters above Hua Xiong, and this speed is a little faster than Hua Xiong.
However, when they reached the second level, Xiao Ning had already made a move.
His opponent is still a battle puppet, but this battle puppet is no longer using a sword, twenty-one long swords. This puppet, whether it is speed or the subtlety of the sword technique, is a notch stronger than the puppet of the imperial envoy long knife before, and now Xiao Ning has fallen into a bitter battle.
Xiao Ning has no time to take care of others now, and the sword-wielding battle puppet in front of him is simply too powerful. Especially the superb sword skills, even if Xiao Ning paid attention to the cultivation of sword skills from the beginning, it was still very difficult to deal with it.
Xiao Ning felt as if the other party could see through his willow sword technique, no matter how he moved, this battle puppet could defend, not only could it defend, but it could also find loopholes that even Xiao Ning didn't realize to attack.
In fact, Xiao Ning's situation is much better now, when he first arrived here, he was forced to retreat again and again by this sword-wielding battle puppet, and he was almost defeated directly.
Fortunately, Xiao Ning has also experienced countless battles, and his adaptability to combat is still very strong, and he finally stabilized his position after a hard battle, at least he didn't have to be forced by this battle puppet to jump around.
By the time Qin Changkong and the others reached the second level one after another, Xiao Ning's condition had actually improved. But even so, he was still very passive on the scene, the puppet of the imperial envoy sword had always been only attacking and not defending, Xiao Ning could only keep using his sword to resist, and he didn't even have room to fight back.
At this moment, Xiao Ning finally realized what it means to attack, which is the best defense, and if he keeps attacking and doesn't give the opponent a chance to shoot, he doesn't need to defend at all.
Of course, this tactic may not be suitable for all people, because the attacking side will always consume more than the defending side, unless it is supported by endless spiritual power.
However, there is also a huge advantage to endless offense, that is, to cause the opponent's mistakes, the so-called long-term defense must be lost, blindly just defending, and it is easy to be seized by the opponent for a long time.
Xiao Ning has been struggling to support it, although the battle puppet of this imperial envoy sword attacks very quickly, but Xiao Ning has no intention of retreating. And when he took over the attack of the battle puppet long sword, Xiao Ning was also improving his willow sword technique.
Seeing Xiao Ning's passive situation, Qin Changkong and the others also frowned. From Xiao Ning's battle with the battle puppet, they could already feel that the puppet guarding the second level was much more powerful than the puppet in the first level. This news is not good news for them, and even Huaxiong does not think it is good news.
Although he was very happy to see Xiao Ning make a fool of himself, and even Xiao Ning was killed. But at this time, he didn't want to see that. Because in that case, the chances of him making it past this second hurdle are slim to none.
Bang bang bang......
Xiao Ning's battle has been going on, and he has always been in a stalemate with the battle puppet. Now Xiao Ning has given up the previous idea of rushing through the second level quickly.
The puppet in this level is very good at swordsmanship, and Xiao Ning fights with it, and every moment he can feel that his sword technique is transforming.
Rub and rub......
Seeing that Xiao Ning had fought for a long time without signs of failure, several people couldn't help but make a move, and when they were about to rush through the second level, several puppets rushed out of the level and directly stopped their speed.
Bang bang bang......
For a while, the muffled sound outside this second level was endless.
Xiao Ning didn't pay attention to the others, he was now deducing his Willow Sword Technique with all his might, and the battle between him and the puppet had completely changed its flavor and evolved into a sword competition.
