XXVII. The Art of the Greatsword

Chai Sen said that he was about to rush over with a whip, but Shangguan Ding saw that his body moved, but turned his body around, turned his back to Chai Sen, and said: "Hey, if people are shameless, the gods can't cure them." ”

Zhou Jianchun roared when he heard this: "Chai Sen, get back for me!"

Although Chai Sen was unconvinced, he could see that the master was so angry that it was not easy to rush forward, and besides, he was really not the opponent of this child, so he had to go back with his hair scattered and dejected.

Zhou Jianchun took two steps forward, and then looked at Shangguan Ding carefully: "It really deserves to be the apprentice of Tieshan." ”

Shangguan Ding said: "It's still the Chai Ye's subordinates who showed mercy just now, otherwise how can I have a dog's life?" Why don't you give me another mercy and let our brother take the medicine down the mountain, what do you think?"

Zhou Jianchun thought for a long time before he said: "Young man, it's not that I don't keep this feeling, how can I have my own rules, I think it's better for us to do it." ”

Shangguan Ding said: "That's okay, even if I lose to Zhou Laoxia today, it's not a shame, after all, you have such a high status." ”

Zhou Jianchun's face turned red after hearing this, and then he laughed and said, "Okay, we don't have to say it anymore, Shaoxia, please do it." ”

Although Zhou Jianchun said this, he saw the scene just now, and he had some concerns about Shangguan Ding's posture.

Shangguan Ding took out Pangu Xiao from his waist and held it in his hand and said: "Old man, the sword and gun have no eyes, if I can really get lucky to beat the old man today, I don't know if you will keep your promise and let us leave with the medicine?"

Zhou Jianchun said: "Young heroes don't have to worry too much, I will naturally keep my word." ”

After hearing this, Shangguan Ding leaned forward, and the double dagger hit Zhou Jianchun's eyes, and the speed of his body was jaw-dropping.

Zhou Jianchun saw Shangguan Ding's body shake, and he was already in front of him immediately, and it was too late to block it with a long whip, so he had to jump out to the right with all his strength, and he clearly heard the sound of the wind brought by Pangu Xiao.

After Zhou Jianchun jumped out, his feet just hit the ground, his body jumped to the right again, and he jumped three times in a row, which opened up some distance from Shangguan Ding, and then waved the steel whip in his hand, hiding himself in the whip, wanting to use the length of the steel whip to make himself invincible, and then look for an opportunity to defeat Shangguan Ding again like defeating Shangguan Qianye.

While he rotated the steel whip, he was also staring at Shangguan Ding with his eyes, and after five rounds, Zhou Jianchun's forehead began to sweat. He thought to himself: "This kid's body is much faster than his two elder brothers, and his steel whip is not a substantial threat to him at all." ”

And Shangguan Ding is fighting against him outside the whip, just like playing Zhou Jianchun, if he really wants to take Zhou Jianchun's life, he has already rushed to him, and Zhou Jianchun also knows that this child is saving his face, Shangguan Ding definitely has this ability.

Ten rounds later, Zhou Jianchun suddenly thought of one thing, when he was gathering in the whip sect, the whip supreme had secretly taught everyone three whips in one move, but he repeatedly emphasized that he could not use it unless he was a strong enemy, because once he made a move, he was afraid that the opponent's life would not be guaranteed.

Today, Zhou Jianchun competed with a child in front of many disciples, if he couldn't win, what was his face? So he secretly thought to himself: "Today, you don't blame me for hate, if I am defeated by your child, then what face do I have to let everyone call me an old man." ”

Zhou Jianchun thought about it, and suddenly the steel whip in his hand shook, and the whip was like a long snake, forming a semicircle, like a sickle, and hit Shangguan Ding's waist.

Shangguan Ding jumped up and dodged the whip, but before Shangguan Ding landed, Zhou Jianchun's wrist was forced, and the whip shot back in the opposite direction, hanging directly on Shangguan Ding's feet.

Shangguan Ding saw it, hurriedly parted his legs in the air, and then soared upward. Just as Shangguan Ding was falling again, Zhou Jianchun suddenly shook his wrist down, and the whip struck from bottom to top, heading straight for Shangguan Ding's crotch.

In fact, Zhou Jianchun can't bear to do this, but only in this way can he save some face.

Shangguan Ding was falling, and when he saw that the whip was coming at him again, the speed was very fast. He was in the air, and it was impossible to dodge the whip.

In a hurry, Shangguan Ding exerted force on his waist and turned his body in the air, so that his head was down and his feet were up. With his hands in front of him, Pangu smiled and rushed towards the steel whip.

No one thought of Shangguan Ding's move, because this action was too risky.

Seeing that he was about to touch the steel whip, Shangguan Ding handed out the daggers in both hands at the same time, and cut the steel whip into three sections with a click. The whip head flew into the sky by inertia against Shangguan Ding's left shoulder, and the whip tail slipped off in Zhou Jianchun's hand, flying over Shangguan Ding's right shoulder, and the middle section was pressed down by Shangguan Ding with a Pangu smile.

Zhou Jianchun never expected that such a trick failed to hurt Shangguan Ding, and his steel whip was cut off by Shangguan Ding. Shangguan Ding had landed firmly on the ground at this time, and a small section of Zhou Suichun's steel whip was stepped on under his feet.

Shangguan Qianye peeked at Zhou Jianchun, and when he saw that his face was red and white, he knew that he was very embarrassed now, so he hurriedly said: "Ding'er, if today's old man is also using a treasure whip, how can you have your life? ”

Zhou Jianchun laughed after hearing this: "Yes, this kid has such good kung fu at such a young age, the old man really can't bear to hurt him, I think of your brotherhood, then you can take the medicine and go down the mountain." ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "Thank you old man!" After speaking, he and Shangguan Ding helped Zheng Biao's head and went down the mountain without looking back.

The three brothers returned to the inn, Zheng Kui first helped Shangguan Qianye to pick up his arm, and then helped Geng Hongjun to apply the healing medicine, and Zheng Biao's injury was not serious, and he could recover after a few days of rest.

Speaking of that medicine, Geng Hongjun has completely returned to normal after only three days of medication, and the whole person seems to be more energetic than before. Everyone was happy to see how he was doing. Zheng Kui wrote a letter to Zheng Tunan, asking his father to order someone to send the money for the medicine to Hump Mountain, and the matter was over.

It was only three days before the newcomer started fighting, and the five brothers discussed it and felt that they should hurry up and practice. So the five of them each brought their weapons, found a place where no one was, and began to practice. The Shangguan brothers' kung fu naturally has nothing to say, and they are the best among the five brothers.

And the Zheng brothers' kung fu is not bad, after all, they have been taught by their father over the years, and they have also learned the swordsmanship of the Flowing Sword Gate.

Among the five people, Geng Hongjun's kung fu is the worst, although he can beat people like Han Zhongyuan, but when it comes to fighting, the hearts of the brothers are worried about his victory or defeat. And while practicing, Geng Hongjun himself was also very discouraged, seeing that the kung fu of the other brothers was far above him, he slowly became discouraged.

Geng Hongjun sat on the ground and sighed, the four brothers surrounded him, Zheng Kui said: "Fourth brother, you don't have to be discouraged, we all know that you have no place to live over the years, how can there be any great progress in kung fu? Now that we brothers are together, you can practice martial arts well in the future, and I think you can still reorganize the Giant Sword Gate. ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "Yes, fourth brother, the Giant Sword Gate was founded by my uncle, and you are so disheartened when you participate in the newcomer competition now, so when can you go to the Taidou Cliff to show your skills and rebuild the Giant Sword Gate?"

Geng Hongjun saw that everyone was coming to persuade him, so he took out a book from his arms and said: "When my father left, he left me this sword book of the Giant Sword Gate, although I have read it many times, but I am not very intelligent by nature, so I have not been able to understand the essence of it. A few of us have become brothers, and I am not afraid that you will steal my master's martial arts, so now I will take it out and let the brothers help me see, if you can help me understand the sword spectrum, it will save our giant sword gate. If you don't know what these moves mean, then I really can't do anything. ”

The four brothers took a look at the sword spectrum, and it turned out that the moves of the giant sword gate were all based on stability first, and the emphasis was on the strength of the sword, and the victory in stability. But in the whole sword book, there are some very ordinary moves, and there is no mastery, and there are no secret moves to win.

Everyone was disappointed after watching it for a long time. Only Shangguan Ding didn't give up, picked up Tai'a, and practiced according to the moves on the sword book. The other four brothers all looked at him, because his movement was a living sword book.

A whole morning passed, and Shangguan Ding practiced the sword book countless times, but everyone didn't find anything new in it.

At this time, Zheng Kui said: "Could it be that this sword book is fake?" In fact, several other people also thought of this, but no one had the courage to say it.

Geng Hongjun said: "When my father left, he told me that this is the true biography of this sect, and there will be no falsehood. ”

At this time, another layer of shadow was cast over everyone's faces. And Shangguan Ding still didn't give up, he had completely become familiar with that set of swordsmanship in the past half a day, practicing it over and over again in the same place, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Geng Hongjun was even more deflated after reading it, and said to several people: "The fifth brother has only practiced for half a day, and his skill level is already far above me, it seems that I am not suitable for martial arts." ”

Shangguan Qianye hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, don't you know, before Ding'er practiced martial arts, his reaction ability was more than six times that of ordinary people, and we can't compare with him." ”

After hearing this, the Zheng brothers were surprised and said, "No wonder Ding'er's body is so fast. ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "Yes, when he was a child, he always made my movements faster, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and then once we watched the senior brother practice martial arts, he also said that it was too slow, and he was discovered by the master." After testing, Master came to the conclusion that his reflexes were more than six times that of ordinary people. The three of them all nodded with extremely envious eyes.

Looking at Shangguan Ding again, he was still practicing swordsmanship, and at this time, everyone couldn't see his movements clearly.

Geng Hongjun said: "It seems that the moves are not important, as long as I have half the speed of the fifth brother, even if I can't make a move, ordinary people will not be able to get close to me." ”

At this time, Shangguan Ding had already practiced swordsmanship hundreds of times, and in the process of slow practice, he found more and more that these moves were too common, and none of them were full of murderous energy. The more he practiced, the more angry he became, and finally, with a roar of rage, he slashed his sword into the ground.

All four looked at him in amazement, wondering what was wrong with him. Shangguan Ding slashed his sword on the ground and didn't speak quietly for a long time.

Shangguan Qianye asked, "Ding'er, what's wrong with you?"

Shangguan Ding was silent for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you don't have to be sad, I have already realized the essence of the sword spectrum of the Giant Sword Sect. ”
