At this moment, the bamboo raft was still drifting downstream. Although the scenery along the way was picturesque, the bamboo raft had long since changed color to red.
The waterways along the coast that flow into Shu have also been completely dyed red with blood!
A bamboo raft slowly sailed out from the river and went along the current. Two bloody men stood on the front deck. The soft swords in their hands were extremely crimson, and blood was dripping from the tips of the swords.
The water flowed upstream, and the riverbanks were filled with the bodies of Xiaoxiang Pavilion gang members, lying in a large area in a mess.
At present, the masters of Xiaoxiang Pavilion who have been killed by him and Qin Ge include the Four Weirdos of Jiangnan, the Twin Heroes of Bagua, He Chong of Liangyi Sword, Yaonan the Flash Sword King, the Ghost-Headed Dragon King... and there are countless other ordinary Xiaoxiang Pavilion disciples.
A moment later, two small boats came towards them on the waterway. In addition to the boatman, there were four burly men standing on each boat. They held eight ghost-head swords in their hands, which were more than twice as big as ordinary swords. The red tassels on the handles matched the fluttering flag on the bow. The three words "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" looked majestic and arrogant.
There were three or five men guarding in the center. They were handsome in gorgeous clothes and looked very brave. They were obviously people of very high status.
The two boats and the bamboo raft slowly approached each other, and were no more than twenty meters apart.
Facing the bloody storm on Zhou Yi's boat, a purple-clothed man on the boat calmed down, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "I am Gu Jian from the Wudang Sect. I wonder if Junior Brother Qianbei still remembers me?"
Zhou Yi looked at Gu Jian without saying anything.
He is the second best person in Wudang after Qiu Ruoshui who is known as 'the highest virtue is like water'. His swordsmanship is the best in the whole Wudang. Now, his Tai Chi swordsmanship is the best in the whole Wudang. Zhou Yi had already heard of his name when he was playing in the back mountain of Wudang. How could he not recognize him today
But when did Gu Jian join Xiaoxiang Pavilion? If he joined, with his martial arts skills, the name of the Four Swords of Xiaoxiang would probably change, right
Gu Jian bowed and said, "Junior Brother Qianbei, you have such high martial arts skills, I admire you very much! Seeing you again today, I feel like a lot has changed!"
Zhou Yi ignored Gu Jian and asked coldly, "When did you join Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"
Gu Jian did not shy away from saying, "I have always been a member of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but hiding my identity will be more beneficial to Xiaoxiang Pavilion."
Zhou Yi nodded, stretched out his hand and said: "Then there is no need to say more, let's do it!"
Gu Jian's eyes froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and nodded, saying, "I understand. I am honored to be Brother Qianbei's senior brother, so I would like to ask Brother Qianbei to teach me first. Let me see the power of the eight great Half-Step Broken Masters in the world!"
Zhou Yi did not refuse, he unsheathed the Dielianhua immediately and went straight to Gu Jian.
As soon as the battle started, the people watching were already dazzled and thrilled. It was so fast! So fast! They could hardly see the moves of the two sides! Even Gu Jian, the number one swordsman of the Wudang sect, was surprised.
Zhou Yi's swordsmanship does not involve complicated techniques. It only involves a few simple basic movements of pointing, stabbing, lifting, chopping and hacking. However, the angles and timings he uses are unpredictable, like a wild horse running freely in the sky, without any restraints or traces. It is extremely powerful!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Gu Jian praised repeatedly, and was delighted to see the prey, but he suddenly changed his moves, no longer meeting the enemy with a fast sword, but slowly practicing Tai Chi swordsmanship, with moves that seemed fast and slow, and uncertain whether they were real or fake!
He slowly turned his body to the right, holding the sword in his left hand and lifting it up, with the sword across his chest. His left and right palms were facing each other, as if holding a ball. Before the sword was drawn, he had already accumulated infinite power. He slowly drew the sword forward in an arc. A chilly air came straight at him. There was a continuous force on the sword, protecting his whole body without any gaps, which surprised Zhou Yi.
The sword moves had not yet been used, but they were already circling. Suddenly, Zhou Yi only felt that several white circles appeared in front of his eyes, large and small, straight and diagonal, flashing continuously.
Zhou Yi asked: "Is this Tai Chi sword technique?"
"The Book of Changes has Taiji, which gives birth to two opposites, two opposites give birth to four images, and four images give birth to eight trigrams! This sword is called Taiji Sword! I wonder if it will be worthy of Brother Qianbei's approval?"
Gu Jian looked at Zhou Yi with a smile, feeling quite proud in his heart. Originally Zhou Yi was just an ordinary disciple in the back mountain of Wudang, but as time passed, he had become one of the eight half-step broken masters in the world, while he was still standing still. At this moment, he could temporarily suppress Zhou Yi with Tai Chi swordsmanship, which made Gu Jian feel very proud, and he almost gave birth to a heroic spirit that looked down on the world!
While feeling proud of himself, Gu Jian walked towards Zhou Yi at an unhurried pace. More and more light circles appeared on the sword. After a while, his whole body was hidden in countless light circles. As soon as one light circle disappeared, another one was regenerated. Although the sword was wielded extremely fast, no sound of the golden blade cutting the wind could be heard, which showed that the flexibility of the sword had reached perfection at this time.
Even an expert like Zhou Yi could not find any flaws in his swordsmanship, and felt as if thousands of long swords were protecting his entire body. Gu Jian's Tai Chi sword was both offensive and defensive, without any flaws!
This fortress made up of sword blades can move, and thousands of light circles are like waves, slowly coming. Gu Jian did not attack one move at a time, but used dozens of sword techniques to form a defensive posture, and turned it into an offensive at the same time. The sword technique was smooth and perfect, without any flaws!
Gu Jian suddenly used such a gorgeous Tai Chi sword technique, which was so dazzling that it immediately made the onlookers excited. The people in Xiaoxiang Pavilion had been suppressed by Qianbei Buzui for too long, and now they saw that Gu Jian could actually suppress Qianbei Buzui, they couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"well!"
Zhou Yi suddenly sighed. Gu Jian thought that Zhou Yi could not break his Tai Chi swordsmanship. He was overjoyed and said quickly, "My Wudang martial arts are profound. Although Brother Qianbei has had another adventure and his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, they are still slightly inferior to my Wudang martial arts, right?"
“No, no, no!” Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head, saying: “Senior Brother Gu’s Tai Chi sword technique is indeed exquisite, but it’s a pity!”
Gu Jian frowned, and said in an unhappy tone, "What a pity?"
"What a pity that you... are too weak!"
clang!
The melodious sound of swords suddenly floated between heaven and earth.
Zhou Yi thrust out the sword lightly, and the sound of sword ringing arose, like a galaxy spanning across the vast sea of clouds, carrying endless sword intent to descend upon this world. The sword energy lingering on the sword suddenly blossomed into sword flowers, which were stunning and went straight to Gu Jian's face.
"What kind of sword style is this?" Gu Jian's face changed slightly. He did not dare to be negligent. He dragged the long sword in his hand out, and countless sword circles overlapped. The sword shadows rushed forward like a surging river to block the vast sword energy. (To be continued)
