Chapter 123: Challenge
Ling Fan's cultivation at this time may not be visible to others, but the three deans of the academy can see it clearly, which is why Fan Gongming showed a strange smile.
However, Ning Chunqiu didn't care about Fan Gongming's expression at this time, but after hearing Fan Gongming's agreement, he felt that nearly 10,000 people were focusing on him, and this feeling of attention made him straighten his waist a lot, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
Looking at the proud Ning Chunqiu, only Ning Xing frowned, and wanted to say something to stop it, but as if he thought of something again, he glanced at Ning Chunqiu deeply, but he didn't say anything more.
Ning Chunqiu also didn't notice Ning Xing's face, strode up to Ling Fan, raised his hand to point at Ling Fan, and said with a smug smile: "Ling Fan, I'm going to challenge you now, can you accept it?"
Lazily raised his eyes and looked at Ning Chunqiu in front of him, Ling Fan didn't even bother to speak.
But Ling Fan's expression was mistaken by Ning Chunqiu for that the other party was afraid of him, but he was even more arrogant.
"Ling Fan, you won't be afraid, everyone in the academy is watching here, if you admit defeat......"
"Idiot ......" spit out two words in his heart, Ling Fan touched his nose, nodded slightly under the gaze of everyone, and said lightly: "Accept." ”
Seeing Ling Fan nodding, Fan Gongming waved his hand helplessly, asked the surrounding students to step back, and said slowly: "The two of you will compete here, and you will stop here." ”
Ning Chunqiu pouted.
Ling Fan also shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.
As everyone retreated, vacating a vacant space with a radius of dozens of zhang, the atmosphere at the foot of the entire mountain immediately tense.
Ning Chunqiu has always been recognized as a powerhouse in the academy, while Ling Fan is a recent rising figure, and his performance in the first cave mansion has surpassed Ning Chuan, and even reached the bottom of the cave.
The battle between the two immediately drew everyone's attention. The sound of discussion also rang out at this time.
"Do you think Ling Fan can win?"
"I don't know, but Ling Fan had defeated Yan Chong after the Blood Sacrifice at the beginning, so he should have a chance to win. ”
"But Yan Chong has such a method as blood sacrifice, isn't Ning Chunqiu, as a higher-ranked student?"
......
All kinds of discussions were endless, but when Ling Fan and Ning Chunqiu released their momentum at the same time, the surrounding voices also stopped abruptly, and everyone immediately looked at the center of the clearing with anticipation.
Looking at Ling Fan who was standing casually in front of him, Ning Chunqiu sneered, his fists clenched at the same time, his true qi was running rapidly in his body, and a silver flying sword was sacrificed at the same time, hanging three feet above his head.
After a moment of silence, Ning Chunqiu stepped forward with his left foot, and his left hand suddenly raised to point at Ling Fan, and his mouth burst out: "Silver Moon Sword, slash!"
This voice exploded in the air, and I saw that the Silver Moon Sword above Ning Chunqiu's head suddenly let out a sharp sword roar, and then soared into the sky, until it rushed out to three zhang away, stopped suddenly, and then faced Ling Fan, slashing in the air!
A slash ten zhang away from Ling Fan seemed to be unable to hit Ling Fan, but as the slash fell, a white crescent moon, as if the crescent moon at night suddenly formed along the arc of the Silver Moon Sword.
As soon as this crescent moon appeared, it immediately went straight to Ling Fan.
Ning Chunqiu's first attack made nearly 10,000 people around him dumbfounded.
This kind of attack is almost comparable to the Dao technique of the Jindan Period, which can be learned by ordinary Ning Yuan Period? I am afraid that only in a family like the Ning family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, can there be this kind of Dao Technique.
However, although others were surprised by this crescent moon, Ling Fan only raised his eyes and glanced at it, but he didn't care about more.
The attack of this crescent moon is just the condensation of true qi. No matter how wonderful such an attack was, after all, Ning Chunqiu was only in the late stage of Ning Yuan!
Ling Fan was also in the late stage of Ning Yuan, but his body had already reached the Jindan stage one step ahead.
In this way, Ling Fan just looked coldly at the crescent moon that was getting closer and closer, until it was less than a foot away from him, Ling Fan suddenly raised his hands, and when he reached the top of his head, the white light in his hand flashed, and a huge long sword appeared in his hand.
Hum!
With a snort, he swung the bladeless sword down, slashing directly at the crescent moon.
Poof!
The sound of extinguishing a fire sounded, and as Ling Fan cut it down, the crescent moon suddenly broke in half, and then gradually disappeared, scattered in the air.
Ling Fan just broke Ning Chunqiu's Dao technique with a simple slash. Such a change made Ning Chunqiu's gaze condense, and from the beginning of the battle, a solemn color appeared for the first time.
But this solemnity will obviously get worse. Because Ling Fan, who had scattered the crescent moon, did not stay in place, but shook his body and rushed towards Ning Chunqiu.
Most of the battles between monks are competitions of Taoism and flying swords, and hand-to-hand combat at close range, the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it is to appear.
But Ling Fan just acted like this.
However, this can't be blamed on Ling Fan, although he has absorbed Gu Yue's soul and learned a lot of Taoist techniques, but most of these require the Jindan period or above to be cast, as for controlling the flying sword to kill people in the air, with the weight of this bladeless sword, I am afraid that before Ling Fan can kill the other party, the true qi in his body will be drained by the bladeless sword first.
Ling Fan's action made Ning Chunqiu stunned for a moment, but then he sneered, and jumped back slightly, while jumping up, his hands quickly pinched the trick, and a true qi turned into an arrow and greeted Ling Fan, and the silver moon sword in the sky also slashed at Ling Fan at this time.
Ling Fan, who faced two attacks at the same time, did not panic in the slightest, and did not even appear in the slightest dignified, but only jumped high with a light stomp under his feet.
At the same time, he not only dodged the true qi arrow, but also faced the Silver Moon Sword that slashed down in the sky.
Hey!
With a low shout, the Bladeless Sword swung up again, colliding with the Silver Moon Sword fiercely.
As the weapon of the young master of the Ning family, the Silver Moon Sword is naturally a rare magic weapon, but this magic weapon only focuses on speed and sharpness, and it is not the same type as the bladeless sword at all, the characteristics of the bladeless sword are just heavy, although the characteristics are single, but the magic weapon like this collides, I am afraid that there are few flying swords that can compete.
Sure enough, with the explosion of 'boom', the sky emitted a dazzling silver light, which was like a moon explosion, and anyone who saw it couldn't help but close their eyes.
But a moment later, when everyone opened their eyes again, what they saw was Ling Fan falling lightly from the sky, and then his feet touched the ground and rushed towards Ning Chunqiu again.
And the Silver Moon Sword had been bounced far away, and a trace of crack faintly appeared on the originally smooth sword body.
This Silver Moon Sword was connected to Ning Chunqiu's mind, and the Silver Moon Sword was damaged, making Ning Chunqiu's face instantly pale, and a wisp of blood slid down the corner of his mouth, obviously his mind was also hurt.
However, the biggest damage to Ning Chunqiu is not his body, but his confidence!
"How is that possible?"
Ning Chunqiu screamed in surprise, and even forgot to recall the Silver Moon Sword, forgetting that Ling Fan who was rushing towards him, he just raised his hand tremblingly and touched the corner of his mouth, and saw the blood stuck to his fingers, and was stunned in place.
As the son of the Ning family, no one dares to provoke him on weekdays, although he has not been injured in these years, but it is the first time that he has been injured.
"Be careful!"
Seeing that Ning Chunqiu was stunned, Ling Fan's footsteps suddenly accelerated, but just as he was about to rush in front of Ning Chunqiu, a voice came from the direction of the onlookers, waking Ning Chunqiu up.
This voice came from Ning Xing, his shout just now was also a last resort, if he didn't use his true qi to condense his voice to wake up Ning Chunqiu, I am afraid that after a while, Ning Chunqiu would be abolished by Ling Fan, and become a waste person who could never cultivate, or even a dead person.
However, after all, the reminder was not right, it did not meet the rules of the competition, and at this time, he felt the eyes of the people around him, especially Fan Gongming also looked at him, Ning Xing knew that he was wrong, and he woke up Ning Chunqiu anyway, he immediately lowered his head and pretended to admit his mistake, so he did not usher in Fan Gongming's punishment.
In this academy, Fan Gongming is supreme in both cultivation and majesty, even if it is Ning Xing, he is also full of fear of Fan Gongming, although he doesn't know what kind of cultivation Fan Gongming is, but he knows that if he competes, he is by no means Fan Gongming's opponent.
"It's a pity!"
Seeing Ning Chunqiu wake up, Ling Fan just glanced at Ning Xing who was bowing his head fiercely, but the forward movement did not stop, but accelerated again.
The bladeless sword in his hand was held flat in front of him and stabbed at Ning Chunqiu.
At this time, Ning Chunqiu's flying sword was still far away, and he naturally would not resist Ling Fan's attack with his empty hands, but he just pinched his hands and released a few instantaneous Dao techniques, trying to block it, while his body kept retreating, wanting to escape from Ling Fan's attack.
However, his actions like this were destined to be useless, because what Ling Fan was best at was speed.
Seeing Ning Chunqiu retreating sharply, Ling Fan showed an indifferent smile on his face, and the thunder under his feet suddenly unleashed, and his speed suddenly doubled.
At this time, Ling Fan seemed to turn into a thunderbolt, carrying the momentum of thunder, until he caught up with Ning Chunqiu's body half a zhang in front of him, and the bladeless sword in his hand immediately stabbed out.
"So fast!"
The scream came out of Ning Chunqiu's mouth subconsciously, and in the face of Ling Fan's attack, he could only barely turn sideways.
But his movements, although he can dodge the vital points, can't dodge all of them. As a result, the sword still slashed fiercely across Ning Chunqiu's shoulder, leaving an inch-deep wound.
The intense pain made Ning Chunqiu couldn't help but scream, but the sound stopped abruptly just now, just because Ling Fan kicked him hard in the chest again.
The sudden sharp pain made Ning Chunqiu unable to even shout. And under Ling Fan's full strength, he was thrown far away.
Flying in the air, before he landed, a mouthful of rich blood had spurted out, and a red rainbow crossed under the originally blue sky.
At this moment, Ning Chunqiu threw seven or eight feet away, and finally fell to the ground.
Looking at Ning Chunqiu, who had fallen to the ground and was already unable to stand up, he glanced at Ning Xing's direction again, Ling Fan's palm slowly moved down, and he exhaled lightly: "You lost!"
