Chapter 173: Sword Fighting

Although the winner of the first round of sword fighting still has to fight against the top three monks of the Ice Spirit Palace, it does not mean that these three monks will not win the prize.

Because, in the last three games, the elders did not judge the victory or defeat, but the performance. Even if you lose, you can cope well and hold on for a long time, and you may be judged to have performed well. Even if you win, negligence and procrastination may be judged as poor performance.

In this way, the sword fighting monks in the last three battles can be motivated, and there will be no disparity in strength, and the weak will be afraid of the enemy, and the strong will be careless.

According to the rules of the lord's casual guests, the monks of Huatian Sect on this trip, as long as they use the Huatian Sword, can challenge the monks of the Ice Spirit Hall in turn.

There are more than 180 monks in the foundation building period, including more than 40 monks at the end of the foundation building, more than 60 monks in the middle stage of foundation building, and 70 monks in the early stage of foundation building.

The monks of Heavenly Sword Peak can choose the Ice Spirit Hall monks to fight swords according to their own cultivation level. The monks of the Ice Spirit Hall were all ranked according to the most recent internal sword fight, and announced to the Huatian Sect monks for easy selection.

The sword fighting skill is mainly cut, so it is natural to choose the one with the same strength. If you choose an opponent that is too strong or too weak, you will not be able to achieve the effect of sword fighting.

The cultivators of the Huatian Sect, especially the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Peak, knew the approximate ranking in the sect, so they could choose their opponents accordingly according to the ranking of the sword cultivators of the Ice Spirit Palace.

The two peaks have been cutting and comparing skills for many years, and in terms of overall strength, Tianjian Peak is slightly higher than half a percent, and there is not much difference. But this half-cheng only considers the strength of sword fighting, even if it is sword cultivation, it is inevitable that there will be some other magic weapons and talismans and other means, so it is difficult to say how much the real fighting strength is different.

Referring to the overall strength of the seven major sects, among the seven major sects, Huatian Sect, Fengling Sect and Wuji Island ranked the top three, and the last four were relatively weak, which was a relatively unanimous evaluation of the entire cultivation world.

The sword fight is only one game at a time, and if the opponent cannot be defeated within five hours, the victory or defeat is judged by the three elders. The rules are similar to those of the competition when Wang Xian started, and the monk may be judged to lose because he is more seriously injured, or because the sword weapon is more damaged.

The order in which the Huatian Sect monks came on the field was in order of status, with Heavenly Sword Peak first, Pill Pill Peak second, Refining Weapon Mansion third, and Fulu Mansion fourth. The official disciples of the outer sect, even if they are professional teachers, are basically cultivating Huatian Sword, so to speak, the disciples who join Huatian Sect are coming for Hua Tiangong and Huatian Sword, and other magic weapons are just auxiliaries.

In previous years' sword fights, the victory or defeat was about 64 open, the number of times Hua Tianzong won more and lost less, and the number of times he won more than defeat, a little more, but the difference was not big.

Hua Tianzong did not encourage monks to choose weaker opponents for the sake of victory or defeat, firstly, they could not achieve the best sword fighting effect, and secondly, the opponent would be able to use his own way to govern others the next time he came to Hua Tianzong. There's no point in doing that.

After the Huatian Sect monks had selected their opponents, they all told Shi Qing, and Shi Qing handed over the selection list to Elder Ran. After Elder Ran handed over the list to Elder Li of the Ice Spirit Palace, Elder Li sent out a transmission note, but in a few moments, a group of male nuns and nuns on the list arrived and sat down.

Seeing that everyone had arrived and that the list was correct, Elder Li announced the beginning of the sword fight.

The first person to appear in Hua Tianzong was Shi Qing, and the target he chose was the twenty-first female cultivator in the Ice Spirit Palace.

Although the monks of Guanghan Palace are not divided into inner and outer gates, the top twenty in each group are almost equivalent to the strength of the inner disciples of Huatian Sect. The outer disciples of Huatian Sect must have a certain contribution to join the inner sect.

For example, Wang first completed the bounty task encouraged by Hua Tianzong and ranked among the best, and the time he entered the top three, it would be counted. This escort is a routine task, if there is no obstruction on the road, it doesn't count, but rescuing the trapped monks of Hua Tianfeng on the way, this is Shi Qing's first achievement.

Huatian Sect Fengtang, the investigation of disciples, is everywhere, and those who have meritorious contributions will remember it. When it comes to the once-in-a-decade Inner Gate Competition, these disciples will have the opportunity to participate.

There are very few places to pass the inner door competition, and not all official disciples of the outer door can participate. Those who have no or small contributions will not be included in the participation list, and it is useless to participate if they want to.

Shi Qing naturally aims to join the inner door. He is ranked in the top five in Heavenly Sword Peak and is one of the popular candidates to join the inner gate.

Last time, he challenged the opponent's 30th place swordsman, and it was not easy to win. This time, he wanted to use the Ice Spirit Hall monk as a reference to further verify the possible surname of the impact on the inner door.

But as soon as Shi Qingfu fought, he soon fell into a bitter battle.

After Shi Qing came on the field, he sacrificed his five middle-level mystical golden swords, and used the hardware phantom array to attack the female cultivator. He is a three-spirit root monk with a golden spirit root of 72, and the other two spirit roots are only 6 and 9, which is considered a very good talent among the three spirit roots.

The five swords do not have to belong to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to form a formation. Five golden swords, you can also form a formation. This is due to the continuous innovation of Huatian swordsmanship for tens of thousands of years.

The Heavenly Sword Peak Cultivator, equipped with the middle-grade Xuanshu Sword as the standard, painstakingly developed many kinds of sword array combinations to give full play to the role of each sword in the sword cultivator's hand.

Inheriting the ancient Huatian sword technique, tens of thousands of years of removing the turnip and preserving the essence, resulting in the combination of the Huatian sword array, there are many types, ever-changing, broad and profound.

Wang Xian had noticed that from one sword to a thousand swords, the number of combinations that could form a sword array was as high as hundreds. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, thirteen, sixteen...... , and so on different numbers of swords, and swords of different five elements of the caste, can form a sword array.

Each kind of sword formation, how to exert the maximum power, how to cultivate, how to use a single person, a double person, a three-person team, a four-person team, a five-person team, and a six-person team......

Fortunately, the monks have an amazing memory, and the monks who developed the sword formation are also fighting swords all year round, studying hard, and there are always new sword formation moves being created. It seems complicated, but it is actually subtle and mysterious.

Shi Qing's Hardware Phantom Array is a swordsmanship called the Hardware Phantom Array that can be used by one person. When a person is alone, it is infinitely fickle and elusive. I saw that he sacrificed the five swords in the first style, and the sword twisting style was shot, swaying and undulating in the air, flying forward, turning into twenty-five golden swords, and twisting them towards the female cultivator from all directions.

The female cultivator's expression remained unchanged, she responded calmly, and Shi Guanghan's swordsmanship, the imperial envoy of two white high-level Xuanqi ice swords, waved out bursts of ice mist, making everyone on the sidelines feel a bitter cold.

As soon as the ice mist touched Shi Qing's sword, the twenty swords that were transformed quickly turned into atomized empty shell swords, compared with the real sword, the spiritual power is different, and the fog is also different, and it is no longer difficult to identify. The female cultivator of the Ice Spirit Hall broke the first form of Shi Qing's hardware illusion array with one move.

Shi Qing was not in a hurry, the five real swords sucked back, and the five sword phantom arrays were carried behind him closely, and there were twenty-five swords, with the center of the sword body as the axis, turning sharply in the air, and as soon as the sword style came out, golden sword flowers flashed in the air.

This sword flower was overflowing with golden energy, and the surrounding ice fog was blown away before it could get close, and it was no longer possible to distinguish what was false and what was real among the twenty-five swords.

The female cultivator shook the two high-level Mysterious Ice Swords violently, only to see white ice qi excitation from the sword body, like substance, and stabbed at every golden sword flower in the air.

The real sword was distorted by the ice gas, and the virtual sword was scattered by the ice gas. But in a moment, the real sword that was washed away was formed into a sword formation again, and the sword flowers rose again, graceful as flying flowers in the air, virtual and real, one after another. The female cultivator also used her mana to force out a series of ice qi stabs.

The two of them fought like this, Shi Qingsheng was slightly stronger in mana, the sword array was changeable, and there were many of them, and the female cultivator was powerful in the mystery, her body was light and fluttering, and the ice qi was endless.

The two sides have maintained a stalemate back and forth. And so it passed five hours.

"The time has come!" said a majestic voice from Elder Li of the Ice Spirit Palace. In the field, the two of them withdrew their swords at the same time and stopped their figures.

I saw that Elder Li discussed with Elder Ran and Elder Ye first, and then reported the results to the Great Elder of the Ice Heart Palace, then stood up and said, "This game is a draw."

Elder Li didn't explain much, and then announced the candidates for the next game, asking for tomorrow's preparation. Wang Xian sat on the side and watched Shi Qing's competition intently.
