Chapter 8 Advance to the quarterfinals and three more
He Renjin is the number one strong enemy Luo Tianchu has encountered so far, but his newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and his momentum is not down, and he is fully focused on his opponent.
He Renjin was even more calm as a mountain, and the two of them remained motionless and stalemate. The knowledgeable masters saw that they were competing in forbearance, to see who could not hold their breath first and exposed their flaws, and they had high requirements for their spirits. He Renjin usually exhales and practices qi, realizes the Tao and maintains health, and it is not difficult to be as calm as water. But the young man is active, his heart is hot, and he has seven emotions and six desires, even if he doesn't think about anything, distracting thoughts will arise after a while. Luo Tianchu's ability to break the age limit is all due to the two veins of Ren Du, the Ren pulse belongs to the yin, the dominant six yin meridians, the Du pulse belongs to the yang, and the governor is the yang vein. When he deliberately controls the breath, the qi and blood will be fused through the regulation of the two pulses of Ren Du, and it will be natural, and enter the realm of the impartial mean.
Only Ling Junlai knew the inside story, and the other masters were secretly shocked when they saw that Luo Tianchu had reached such a realm. He Renjin thought to himself that this kid's three-year work was comparable to others' thirty years, but I wanted to see what other skills you had. Just thinking about it, he secretly screamed badly, and he was in a state of mind when he was distracted just now, Luo Tianchu noticed it, and without hesitation, he drew his sword and attacked, and the Lone Ming Sword shot out a surging sword qi. He Renjin had been fighting for a long time, and he pulled out the long sword unhurriedly, standing still, pouring the sword with internal force, the long sword pointed at him, and the sword qi shot out, and the two sword qi collided fiercely, on par. Luo Tianchu unfolded his body technique, and the Lone Ming Sword stabbed three times in mid-air, and shot out three more sword qis. He Renjin had the intention to compete with him for sword qi, and he shot out three sword qi without futility, but they were still equal, both of them were testing each other, and they had not yet come up with their true skills.
He Renjin found that Luo Tianchu's sword qi was strong and pure, and he had a foundation of superior internal strength, and after thinking about it carefully, he guessed that he was practicing the "Yijin Sutra". Zhong Yuanpeng stole the four schools back then, he learned the "Demon Suppression Sword Codex", and it is not surprising that he will know the "Yijin Sutra", but the "Yijin Sutra" is broad and profound, and the warrior monks of the Luohan Hall may not be able to practice well in their lives, how did this kid become quickly?
The two fought for thirty rounds in the blink of an eye on the stage, Zhao Hengshan, Lu Fei and the others thought that Luo Tianchu would become so powerful, they were all stunned, Zhao Hengshan said in surprise: "This kid is so powerful, how could he be accidentally injured by me that day?" Ling Junlai secretly laughed, thinking that if you hadn't injured him with spiral strength, how could he be a blessing in disguise. The audience thought that this was a game without suspense, but unexpectedly, Luo Tianchu and He Renjin fought to a draw, and they were all in disbelief and watched the game quietly. He Renjin had seen Luo Tianchu's strength with his own eyes, and knew that this kid was different from mortals, and he was ready to fight a long battle, and he was not impatient.
The two of them fought to the fullest, and their skills were raised to the peak, and at the same time, they displayed the seventh layer of the "Demon Suppression Sword Codex" realm 'Sword Qi Vertical'. I saw the sword qi roaring on the competition platform, the snow and dust flying, the two rabbits rose and fell, although the two swords never intersected, but the sword qi had collided countless times, and it was always difficult to distinguish between them. Luo Tianchu's moves are pressing, on the offensive side, He Renjin's swordsmanship is rigorous, the whole body is sealed without leakage, two moves to attack and one move, the offensive and defensive transitions are free, the sword momentum is smooth, and being on the defensive is only a tactical need, not a disadvantage. It wasn't until after the fight that he discovered that Luo Tianchu's "Demon Suppression Sword Codex" was in line with his own appearance, and there was no Taoist transcendent and ethereal artistic conception, but it was a little more domineering and fierce. You must know that the "Demon Suppression Sword Codex" and the Taoist internal strength of the Zhengyi school complement each other, and belong to the feminine way. And Luo Tianchu's practice of the "Yijin Sutra" is the most rigid to the yang of the internal strength of the heart, there are a few tricks to use the yin like silk yin power to exert power, Luo Tianchu is like the overlord to resist the Ding, the power is greatly reduced. He Renjin secretly regretted himself, thinking that if he was such a talented and beautiful jade, if he was a disciple of my faction, he would definitely be able to exert the power of this sword technique to the extreme after training. Luo Tianchu also found that the same sword move He Renjin used was more powerful, so he paid attention to it and benefited a lot from it.
They fought for 80 rounds, and most of their internal strength was consumed, and He Renjin was experienced and had already figured out a way to win. After he blocked the attacking five sword qi, his body rushed forward, and the defense was attacking, and the long sword stabbed straight at Luo Tianchu, unpretentious, but did not shoot out the sword qi. Luo Tianchu thought that the beginning of the "Demon Suppression Sword Codex" read, "The sword of demon suppression, the sword is not a real sword, the sword is used by qi, and the intention is the move." There is a sword in the hand as if there is no sword, and the sword is in the heart. 'He Renjin uses a sword as a sword, and he doesn't fall into the inferior? Could it be that he can't fight for a long time, and his heart is anxious, so he is in a mess. Immediately found out that this idea was very wrong, He Renjin poured his sword with qi, condensed but not released, his long sword itself was a sword qi, and his people were also a sword qi, if you wanted to break this sword qi, the only way to defeat him was to defeat him. Luo Tianchu was stunned in his heart, thinking that he was a lonely bet, fighting with his life, so he could only concoct it in a good way, and poured his true qi into the Lone Ming Sword and stabbed it out. This sword used all its strength, and the sword body was 'buzzing' with real qi, hiding the mountain and the tsunami, and the stone broke the earth.
Luo Tianchu thought that the True Qi competition would definitely suffer a strong impact, and when the two swords collided, He Renjin's strength suddenly disappeared, Luo Tianchu felt like he was trying to lift a bag of heavy objects and found that it was empty, and he lost his balance if he used too much force, and in the final analysis, he was still inexperienced and couldn't see the doorway. His body fell forward, the blood in his chest surged, and his true qi rebounded back and injured himself. At the same time, a strong sticky force was born on He Renjin's long sword, which attracted the Lone Ming Sword, and he was about to seize the sword. Luo Tianchu was defeated, but he still resisted with all his might, forcibly suppressed the internal injuries, condensed the new true qi and poured it into the long sword, held the hilt tightly, and did not let go even if he died.
He Renjin was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that his new force was born so quickly. However, he still had the chance to win, and increased his strength to violently move upward, Luo Tianchu made the last resistance, and swung his sword downward, only to hear the sound of 'clanging', He Renjin took off his body, and took four or five steps back, the energy in his body surged, his chest was stuffy, and the long sword in his hand was broken into two. It turned out that Luo Tianchu's Lone Ming Sword was an artifact of the Warring States Period, indestructible, how could an ordinary long sword compete, and it would be broken when it was hit. He Renjin's sword was also injured by the over-forceful counterattack, but fortunately, most of it was dissolved when he retreated, but he didn't expect to lose on the weapon.
He Renjin suddenly laughed and said, "Good boy! Luo Tianchu said ashamedly: "The juniors are undoubtedly defeated just now, how dare you say victory, please change the sword and compare again." He Renjin said: "The weapon has been broken, the sharpness has disappeared, and I have no intention of fighting again. Losing is losing, not doing weapons business. Your martial arts talent is rare in the world, and you will be invincible in the world in a little time, and I hope you will walk the right path in the future and benefit the world. Luo Tianchu knew that this was his heartfelt words, and was moved: "The younger generation should remember the teachings of the second master. He Renjin nodded and smiled: "It's very fortunate to be so martial arts, and it's very fortunate for the common people." After saying that, he turned around and danced the broken sword in his hand and said: "This broken sword is the proof, if you break your promise, He will carry this sword to you to ask for guilt." Luo Tianchu admired his justice very much, looked at his back and saluted again.
After returning to the tent, Zhao Hengshan laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good boy, when did your martial arts become so strong, did you have any adventures?" Lu Fei also smiled: "Yes, if there is no adventure, how can your skills have increased by three or four times." Luo Tianchu said that after recovering from the serious injury, his inexplicable skills had improved greatly, and he didn't know what was going on. Jiang Feiyan and Gu Yao both smiled and said, "This is a god-given miracle, even God favors you." Zhao Hengshan laughed and said: "It turns out that your kid became stronger and lost the palm of the Sprinkle family, you should thank the Sprinkler family." When Lu Fei heard that Ling Junlai and You Jingyao joined forces to heal him, he glanced at Ling Junlai, and when he saw him smiling and silent, he guessed that this matter was related to the castle master.
At this time, the second round is over, and there is an hour's break before the start of the third round, during which Jin Guo serves food. After the meal, Lu Fei asked, "Xiao Luo, how is your injury?" Luo Tianchu said: "Fortunately, you can be fine after three days of recuperation." Lu Fei said: "You have a game later, go inside to heal your injuries, and I'll call you again during the game." Luo Tianchu took the order and left. Ling Xue'er wanted to talk to him, but she didn't dare to bother now. Gu Yao said: "The next four games are all master duels, and it's not bad that two people from my castle are shortlisted." Jiang Feiyan teased Zhao Hengshan and said: "Yes, I thought that the finalists should be the castle master and the Zhao hall master, but I didn't expect the Zhao hall master to be eliminated, but it's a pity." Zhao Hengshan said angrily: "Grandma's, the opponent of the Sprinkle family is a guest from Chu, that guy has a headache even when the castle master touches it, what is the way of the Sprinkle family." The crowd burst into laughter again. Yan Weifeng suddenly said: "It's not good, Xiao Luo's opponent in the next game is also Chu Laike, it is estimated that there is more luck and less luck." Ling Xue'er's pretty face sank, and she said angrily: "Close your crow's mouth, if you lose, you will lose, what is more than lucky." Yan Weifeng hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, look at my stinky mouth." Lu Fei said with a smile: "The strength of the top eight is outstanding, as well as Ni Hongyan, Bai Qinghua, Wuyin, and Wan Yanli, all of whom are grandmaster-level masters, and there is no luck in the competition." Dong Guo asked the knife and suddenly said: "Castle master, Liu Shaoqing's kid is arrogant and tight, and he eliminated the two of us, so I have to teach him a good lesson later." Zhao Hengshan coaxed: "The Sprinkle family also wanted to beat that kid a long time ago." Ling Jun smiled and didn't reply.
After hearing a gong sound, the referee sang: "The third round of the game begins, and Ling Jun will play against Liu Shaoqing." Ling Junlai came to the field with a knife in his whole clothes, and saw Liu Shaoqing holding the sword of interrogation, and walked unhurriedly, without being nervous and timid at all because the opponent was Ling Junlai. Ling Junlai admires him very much, and like Luo Tianchu, he is a rising star with an unlimited future, and the future martial arts will be their world. And his expectations for Luo Tianchu don't stop there.
Liu Shaoqing stood two feet in front of him, his state had been adjusted to the best, and said slowly: "Are you ready?" He neither saluted nor greeted, seemingly rude, but Ling Junlai knew that he was a pure swordsman, and he would not say superfluous words, and said with a smile: "Yes!" As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen cold stars burst out in front of him, and a rain of swords came towards him. Ling Junlai stepped back, using the scabbard to flick all the sword rays away. Who knew that Liu Shaoqing unleashed another sword qi that was like a bamboo, and the cold wind swept the surrounding air in all directions, and there was an invincible momentum. He knew that Ling Junlai's martial arts were superb, so he went all out as soon as he made a move. Ling Junlai secretly admired it, thinking that his skills were half a step higher than that of Luo Tianchu now, comparable to He Renjin and Li Xiuzhi, and he wanted to see what other tricks he had, so he jumped two feet away. Didn't fight back.
Liu Shaoqing was shocked in his heart, knowing that it was difficult for ordinary masters to move half a step under the shroud of his sword qi, Ling Junlai was not affected at all, and suddenly felt a sense of frustration, but quickly adjusted, the sword momentum changed, and the sword of love burst out again, but this time the number of cold stars was twice as many as before, with a total of dozens of points, and there was only one truly deadly cold star, hidden in it. This sword is called 'Meteors in the Sky, Cold Light Appears', and it is one of the stunts in the sword of the Sword Liu family
Ling Junlai couldn't help but itch when he saw such a subtle swordsmanship, so he no longer dodged, and had the intention to break this move. stared at the flying cold star for an instant, and immediately found out the killing move hidden in it, shot like lightning, flicked his fingers, and listened to the 'ding' dragon groan, dozens of cold stars turned into nothing, and the love sword was exposed. Liu Shaoqing only felt a shock from the tiger's mouth, and the sword of love was suspended, and he withdrew three steps before he unloaded his strength, and it was difficult to hide his shock. He had never missed that move in his life, but today he was hit by his finger on the body of the sword, what kind of eyesight and skill he had, not to mention that he had not yet drawn the sword.
Ling Junlai used four successful powers with that finger, and he thought that Liu Shaoqing would take off the sword, but he didn't expect that he was only shocked back a few steps, and he was secretly surprised, and said with a smile: "The swordsmanship of Sword Qi Villa is really extraordinary, and I have learned it." Liu Shaoqing's expression changed, and he said angrily: "Are you satirizing my family heirloom swordsmanship!" Ling Junlai said: "Otherwise, the owner of Liu Zhuang is young and young, if he practices hard for another ten years, this swordsmanship may still not hurt Ling, but Ling Mou no longer dares to try to break it." Twenty years later, maybe even Ling can't be avoided. He said sincerely, and he was telling the truth, Liu Shaoqing regained his cold look, and said: "Do you think you have won?" Ling Junlai smiled: "Don't dare, but Your Excellency's chances of winning are really not big." Liu Shaoqing frowned, and then nodded slightly, he knew that Lingjun was telling the truth, and he had always respected the truth, and he was not angry, and said: "Draw the knife, let me see Your Excellency's knife technique, and if you lose, you will lose your heart." ”
