Chapter 139: Fighting Nangong Cheng
defeated Cheng Tianhu, Xiao Ning won both battles and entered the big competition below. Compared with Xiao Ning's victory, the other Five Elements Sect disciples were not so lucky, first Piaoyun met Yun Xiaoyao and was defeated, and then Qin Changkong met Gong Beiao, which naturally ended in defeat, Luo Yuntian also met a strong opponent Ye Yulang, and after holding on for half an hour, he was finally defeated. After this game, the Five Elements Gate won one and lost four, and they were all defeated in the hands of the Ten Gentlemen, which also fully showed that there was still some gap between these people in the Five Elements Gate and the Ten Gentlemen in terms of strength.
After the second game, he immediately entered the third match, and this time, Xiao Ning's opponent became Monsoon Thunder. In the face of monsoon thunder, Xiao Ning didn't have to go all out at all, but easily defeated the opponent in a few shots.
In this scene, the other people of the Five Elements Gate also avoided the people among the ten gentlemen and won smoothly. However, in this round, Cheng Tianhu showed great power and defeated Mo Xiaoxiao, who was ranked seventh among the ten gentlemen, which also fully demonstrated Cheng Tianhu's strength. After this game, Xiao Ning, Gong Beiao, Yun Xiaoyao, Ye Yulang, Murong Feiyan, and Nangong Cheng each won three games, and they were temporarily tied for first place.
Luo Yuntian, Qin Changkong, Piaoyun, and Lu Qingfeng each won two games and ranked second, while the others only won one, and some others had no wins at all, and they all ranked behind.
After the third round, the fourth round immediately began, and this time Xiao Ning met a more formidable opponent, that is, Nangong Cheng, who ranked fifth among the ten gentlemen.
Nangong Cheng is the strongest disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect among the affiliated sects of the Five Spirits Sect, and only the people of the Imperial Sword Sect have two places in the top five of the Ten Gentlemen, and the other sects are far inferior.
"I've watched your battle, you're very strong, but it's impossible to beat me!" Nangong Cheng held the long sword in his hand, and his expression was very solemn when he faced Xiao Ning.
In fact, Nangong Cheng had already begun to pay attention to Xiao Ning when he defeated Guitian. Gui Tiancao is the sixth master among the ten gentlemen, only one place lower than him. Such a master, but he was defeated by Xiao Ning's men, and he didn't even participate in the resurrection competition, which made Nangong Cheng's heart appear extremely stressful. He asked himself if he changed himself and fought against Guitian, although he could win steadily, but if he didn't pay a little price, he wouldn't want to seriously injure him to this extent.
"Is it possible, I won't know until the battle is over, it's too early to say this!" Xiao Ning held the Yuan Sword in his hand, and his face was also a little solemn. In the battles of the top five of the ten gentlemen, he paid special attention to it, this Nangong Cheng cultivation is not weak, and it is definitely not comparable to the fault of the heavens. Therefore, in the face of such an opponent, Xiao Ning did not dare to have the slightest contempt.
"It seems that you are going to fight me?" The long sword in Nangong Cheng's hand had been slowly raised.
"That's exactly what I mean!" Xiao Ning didn't give in at all, and the Yuan Slashing Sword in his hand was also raised.
"Since that's the case, then take it!" Nangong Cheng spoke, and the long sword in his hand turned into a huge sword shadow and came out of his hand, heading straight for Xiao Ning.
Nangong Cheng is from the Imperial Sword Sect, and the sword technique he cultivates is called the Imperial Sword Technique. The sword trick is to drive the sword like an arm, that is, to make the spirit sword as if it were your own arm.
This alone is completely different from the sword techniques practiced by other sects. Sword techniques are generally the pursuit of powerful attack power, of course, they also pay attention to the freedom of retraction, but there has never been a sect that requires the imperial envoy spirit sword to be like the imperial envoy's own arm.
The disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect cherish their spirit sword very much, and they need to be accompanied by the spirit sword every day, be familiar with everything about the sword in their hands, and even "make friends" with the spirit sword. Many of the disciples of the Edgeworth Gate regard themselves as swordsmen, meaning friends of the sword. However, other sects think that the Imperial Sword Gate is a kind of paranoia, a sword is a sword, a sharp weapon to kill, how can it be a friend. There are also some people who simply think that the people of the Edgeworth Gate are enchanted and call them sword servants, which means that all the disciples of the Edgeworth Gate are sword servants.
However, although everyone has mixed opinions about the Edgeworth, no one will deny the strength of the Edgeworth, and it is indeed deservedly that they have become the first affiliated sect of the Five Elements Sect.
Whew......
Facing the huge sword shadow released by Nangong Cheng, Xiao Ning did not retreat. The three tricks of the wind moving willow sui, the water reflecting the willow shadow, and the ten thousand willow coiling roots were performed in turn, and the huge sword shadow released by Nangong Cheng surrounded it tightly.
Bang bang bang......
Nangong Cheng's arm kept waving, and the huge sword shadow in the air also kept swinging with the movement of his arm, rushing around in the sword light that Xiao Ning slashed out.
Xiao Ning's face was solemn, it was the first time he had encountered Nangong Cheng's fighting style, and he was somewhat uncomfortable, so he could only keep using the Willow Sword Technique, trying to limit the range of activities of the huge sword shadow.
Compared with Xiao Ning's discomfort, Nangong Cheng also felt that he was restricted everywhere. The biggest advantage of his sword technique is that he can continuously control the sword shadow, and the transformation is unpredictable. But under the shroud of Xiao Ning's sword, this advantage is completely gone.
"Turn it for me!" Although neither of them was smooth, but Nangong Cheng's patience was obviously not as good as Xiao Ning's, and after several attempts to no avail, he began to change his strategy, and the huge sword shadow was not blindly rampage, but spun on its own. The entire huge sword shadow instantly turned into a huge drill.
"Willow Leaf Chop! Willow Leaf Chop ......"
Facing Nangong Cheng, who suddenly changed his strategy, Xiao Ning also had to use the Willow Leaf Slash again, but this time the Willow Leaf Slash he performed was completely different from usual, the Willow Leaf Slash was not straight forward, but rotated in the opposite direction of the giant sword shadow's rotation.
Bang bang bang......
The attack density of the willow leaf slash was much greater than that of the willow sword technique, and when it met the huge sword shadow in the void, there was immediately a muffled sound.
This time, Xiao Ning was not hiding, and the willow leaf slash contained several kinds of strength that he had comprehended.
As the number of collisions increased, Nangong Cheng's face became more and more ugly. Xiao Ning's sword technique contained several kinds of strength made him feel very uncomfortable, especially the dark energy. Nangong Chengcheng felt as if the huge sword shadow that had been conjured up in front of him didn't exist, and every attack from Xiao Ning could hit his body, making him feel a sharp pain.
Even though Nangong Cheng's cultivation was not weak and he would not be injured multiple times under the attack of dark energy, this pain was unbearable.
"Edgeworth Ethereal Explosion!" Nangong Cheng, who was in pain, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he decided to use his last resort to fight Xiao Ning.
With Nangong Cheng shouting, the huge sword shadow in the air began to swell rapidly.
"Not good!" Feeling the abnormal movement of the huge sword shadow, Xiao Ning quickly became alert, and a sense of danger rose from his heart.
"Liu Teng Slash!" Xiao Ning let out a low sigh, and then a slender sword light flew out of the Yuan Yuan Sword.
This is the first time that Xiao Ning has used the willow vine slash since he cultivated for Dajin, and now the power of his willow vine slash is completely different from the past. This slender sword ray, which seemed to have the power to cut everything, quickly slashed at the expanding sword shadow.
Burst......
The slender sword slashed at the ever-expanding sword shadow, and instantly disappeared into it. And the huge sword shadow directly separated a gap after the slender sword slashed.
As the slender sword light went deeper and deeper, the gap formed on the huge sword shadow became larger and larger. In the end, the slender sword light completely pierced through the huge sword shadow.
At this moment, the huge sword shadow that was divided into two halves trembled violently.
Boom......
With two loud bangs, the huge sword shadow that was split in half instantly exploded.
Burst......
At the moment when the huge sword shadow exploded, Nangong Cheng spurted out a mouthful of blood. Originally, he wanted to detonate the huge sword shadow, but he didn't expect Xiao Ning's sword to be so powerful, and he actually directly cut the huge sword shadow of his envoy, causing him to be counterattacked by a huge force.
"Willow Leaf Chop!"
Although the huge sword shadow controlled by Nangong Cheng was unfolded, the power of the slender sword slashed by Xiao Ning was also exhausted. In order not to let the opponent have the power to fight back, Xiao Ning immediately made up for another willow leaf slash.
Bang bang bang......
Puff puff......
Swallowed by his own moves, Nangong Cheng's aura was disordered, and he was trying his best to suppress his spiritual power, but at this time, Xiao Ning's attack arrived. In desperation, Nangong Cheng could only raise his sword again, wanting to resist these willow leaf swords. But his breath is disordered now, Xiao Ning's attack area is large, where is it so easy to resist, but after a few breaths, his body has been pierced in several places.
Fortunately, Nangong Cheng was not stupid, he worked hard to protect the vital position and save his life. However, he lost this big competition, and even the big competition behind him could no longer continue to fight
