The wooden sword looked ordinary and had no spirituality, but once Yan Sen injected true energy into it, the sword intent emanating from it was not inferior to any spiritual sword. It was an extremely terrifying and evil sword intent.
This is... Gu Pinglin frowned slightly.
As the sword was drawn, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered at the tip of the sword and was about to explode. However, the next moment, all the spiritual energy dissipated silently.
Duan Qingming was also surprised, but he did not let his guard down.
Three sword energies attacked from behind!
The sword moves changed without any signs. If it were anyone else, they would have been caught off guard. However, Gu Ying's sword technique was known as the most complicated sword technique in the world of cultivation. It was varied and unmatched. In this regard, Duan Qingming was the real master. He was extremely sensitive to changes in moves. As soon as Yan Sen changed his moves, he immediately broke it with a move called "Flying Phoenix Shadow".
Variable regeneration!
The wooden sword in mid-air pulled the scattered sword energy and suddenly gathered again, enveloping him in the middle, and the whirlwind brought out a huge sword shadow.
Just as he broke one sword, another one came. Duan Qingming reacted extremely quickly and dealt with it easily, still using the modified "Flying Hong Shadow" to break the move.
Yan Sen was also a swordsman and noticed immediately: "Huh? Is this the same move?"
Duan Qingming asked back: "How?"
Yan Sen nodded and shook his head, changing his tactics again: "One move is not enough."
"Wrong, one move is enough." There was undisguised arrogance in his voice, and Duan Qingming broke the move again.
Yan Sen is known as the Sword Demon and is extremely obsessed with swordsmanship. If Duan Qingming is crazy, then he is just foolish. After seeing such a wonderful sword move "Under the Flying Phoenix Shadow" with his own eyes, he was very interested and wanted to see how many variations this move had. Naturally, he would not use his full strength, but just change his moves quickly.
Gu Pinglin was also shocked after witnessing the two men fighting with swords.
The Sword Demon Yan Sen is not just a name, the Soul Sword Flow is very similar to Gu Ying's swordsmanship, with strange and unpredictable moves, one sword after another, step by step, leaving no chance for the opponent. In terms of exquisite changes, the Soul Sword Flow is not as good as Gu Ying's swordsmanship, but the sword energy of each of its swords is very pure, which makes it domineering and has a unique sharpness, which Gu Ying's swordsmanship cannot reach. This sharpness is not only suitable for Gu Ying's swordsmanship, but also very consistent with the new "Bu Tian Jue" technique, because the new "Bu Tian Jue" refers to "Lian Shen Jiu Zhang", "Lian Shen Jiu Zhang" is originally a magic technique, and the Soul Sword Flow happens to be a magic swordsmanship.
No matter how Yan Sen changed his moves, Duan Qingming always responded with the move "Flying Phoenix Shadow".
Gu Pinglin had repeatedly deduced the variations of this move, but this was the first time he saw him use it so completely. The snow-white shadow swooped down from different directions and angles, then swept up from the ground, and even changed moves in the opposite direction from bottom to top. The posture changed, and the sword shadow also changed. It did not look boring at all. If you were not an expert, you would not realize that these moves were actually the same move.
The figure, accompanied by the dazzling sword light, left beautiful arcs on the Black Sea. Each time, the sword energy changed slightly from before.
Seeing the changes, Gu Pinglin was inexplicably excited.
The Gu Ying swordsmanship in the previous life was already the best in the world. I wonder what this new Gu Ying swordsmanship will be like after it is perfected
“You little bastard,” Yan Sen finally came to his senses from his sword moves, paused his attack, and laughed, “How dare you use my sword to test it!”
Surrounded by sword energy, Duan Qingming held his sword horizontally and asked again: "How is it?"
Yan Sen laughed and said, "It took me a hundred years to create the Soul Sword Style. How can you learn it just by looking at it for a few times?"
Duan Qingming said: "That's because your understanding is too poor."
Yan Sen seemed to be about to get angry, but he forced himself to hold it back, and nodded, saying, "This move of yours is enough." At this point, he could no longer hide the greed in his eyes, "Hand over your sword moves, and I will accept you as my disciple and pass on the Soul Sword to you, how about it?"
"Your sword is a soul-refining object, right?" Duan Qingming looked at the wooden sword. "The souls on the sword are probably your disciples. I don't want to become a sword spirit."
Gu Pinglin walked away a few steps without leaving a trace.
He had indeed discovered it. Pupil Demon Xin Ji still had some love for talent, but Yan Sen was different. He was obsessed with the way of the sword and didn't care about inheritance at all. For him, his apprentice was just material for sword-making. He was interested in Duan Qingming not only because of his sword moves, but also because his sword intent was strong and suitable for practicing soul sword.
"You are quite smart," Yan Sen was not embarrassed when he was exposed, "If you can add a bit of sword soul to my sword, my soul sword can be further improved."
Duan Qingming sneered: "The sword art that needs external skills to assist cannot be considered strong."
"Oh?" Yan Sen frowned slightly.
He gently pushed the hilt of the sword, and Mingfeng flew into the clouds. Duan Qingming stood in mid-air and said leisurely: "If these crude sword styles are the Soul Sword Style, it is disappointing. How can they match me? Why don't you sacrifice Mingfeng Sword to me?"
Soul Sword Style is the sword technique that Yan Sen created with all his life's efforts. At this moment, he denounced it as "crude sword technique". Yan Sen's face twitched: "Since you want to see the real Soul Sword Style, I will let you die clearly."
The wooden sword turned, the sword spirit struggled, and exuded an unprecedented sharp aura. The onlookers were shocked, but no one moved. The sword energy seemed to pierce the heart directly, nailing everyone in place.
What a pure sword energy! Gu Pinglin was also shocked. He used the Creation Art to relieve the pressure and continued to walk slowly. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that the Soul Sword School was famous all over the world. It was incredible that the true energy could be compressed and refined to such a degree. The sword energy was almost concentrated on one point. It should be the way of "breaking the surface with a point". No matter how perfect the sword moves were, they might not be able to block such a sharp sword.
The famous wind broke through the clouds and fell, and it was another move "Under the Flying Hong Shadow".
As expected, Yan Sen's sword energy was too pure, and his moves, which seemed to have no flaws, were penetrated by a wisp of sword energy.
Blood gushed out, staining the white clothes red. Duan Qingming was injured in the shoulder.
Gu Pinglin walked a few feet away, and his heart tightened slightly when he saw this. Yan Sen's sword not only had sword energy, but also contained soul power attack. Fortunately, the Bu Tian Jue was derived from the "Nine Chapters of Refining the Soul", and it was more advanced in cultivating the soul. The soul power of this sword had been exhausted by the Bu Tian Jue, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
Duan Qingming didn't care at all and pressed acupuncture points to stop the bleeding: "Come again."
Yan Sen was also surprised. He was well-known in the cultivation world and feared by everyone. Now he was provoked by a junior and had not gained much advantage. How could he justify it? "Okay, come again!"
After three moves, Duan Qingming only used one move to respond. It looked extremely thrilling, but he was not injured again. However, as Yan Sen said, the Soul Sword Style is a sword technique that has been created after hundreds of years. It is difficult for outsiders to see through the tricks. There is no effect if he keeps trying.
"What kind of martial arts are you practicing?" Yan Sen realized something was wrong, and like a starving dog, he attacked without mercy and directly used the power of his inner elixir.
The true energy in the wooden sword surged, and Duan Qingming was knocked back several feet on the spot. This was the result of Yan Sen's caution in his swordsmanship.
Yan Sen smiled smugly: "Hand over your sword moves and skills obediently, and if I'm in a good mood, I might be able to spare your life."
Duan Qingming sneered: "What's so special about the sword moves? My junior brother can do it too."
"Junior brother?" Yan Sen was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Gu Pinglin straight in the eye, sizing him up and down, "A girl-like boy also knows swordsmanship?"
Gu Pinglin narrowed his eyes when he heard that.
Yan Sen waved his hand.
His sword-cultivating disciples were all watching in fascination. The members of the Kuxue Sect were just about to sneak away, but no one expected that he would suddenly make a move. Instantly, the blood mist dispersed, and everyone fell silently, "plopping" into the black water. Only three people were left at the scene, and he did not even let go of any of his disciples.
"It's better to be quiet." Yan Sen felt a little regretful for not being able to take the soul and refine the sword. He pointed at Gu Pinglin and said, "Come on, if you don't have a good trick, I will kill you."
Gu Pinglin said nothing, took off his cloak and threw it away, then waved his hand. Purple lightning flashed, and Gu Yingjian impatiently rushed up into the dark sky and disappeared.
The next moment, a figure rose from the ground.
The brilliant sword light bloomed above his head, and the purple figure merged with the purple sword light, swooping down, truly like a flying wild goose.
It was also a move called "Flying Hong Shadow"!
Gu Pinglin was already familiar with this move, and he had seen Duan Qingming use many variations of it. At this moment, he followed suit and actually imitated it almost ten percent of the time. At first glance, it looked no different from the original move, and was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
"You haven't mastered the essence of it," Yan Sen shook his head repeatedly, "This is not what you learned. Change your moves quickly and learn your own moves."
The same sword moves may fool laymen, but they are very different in the eyes of experts. Gu Pinglin has tried his best to imitate the momentum of Gu Ying's swordsmanship, but the skills, sword intent, and sword path are different, so he can only get the form right.
Even so, Yan Sen still planned to take the challenge, but he realized that his Qi was not flowing smoothly just after he started to make the seal. He was not stupid and immediately realized: "Two little bastards, how dare you plot against me!"
Gu Pinglin skimmed along the surface of the water, just enough to catch the cloak he had thrown away earlier, then stood on the water again and calmly put the cloak back on.
This place is not suitable for setting up a large formation, and ordinary sword formations cannot trap Yan Sen, so Gu Pinglin chose to use poison. He was pacing before to make the arrangements. Yan Sen has lived for so many years and is very experienced. Gu Pinglin did not poison directly, but instead put in several materials. In the fierce battle, the sword energy vibrated, and all the smells naturally mixed together. Finally, he took action himself and stirred it with sword energy, and finally completed the plan. The poison was very light and would not affect the action, but Yan Sen would be affected to some extent.
Duan Qingming said: "I'm sorry for offending you in order to get out of this situation."
This poison was not fatal. Yan Sen was a master of Dan Yijing. He immediately suppressed the poison with his cultivation and laughed wildly: "How can a mere poison technique do anything to me!"
Seeing the sword energy covering him, Duan Qingming immediately used the "Dancing Crane Shadow" move to escape. His figure rose and fell several times, leaving behind a trail of air.
Yan Sen was surprised and delighted: "Do you know other moves?"
"Who said I only know one move?" Duan Qingming asked back.
Yan Sen snorted: "I want to see how capable you are."
"Of course there is," Duan Qingming said calmly, "Just look at my Gu Ying swordsmanship, the fifteenth style -"
Gu Pinglin turned and ran away.
Sure enough, Duan Qingming said the "Fifteenth Style" and then he quickly retreated and escaped.
Yan Sen was just preparing to take the attack, but unexpectedly, the two of them disappeared in the blink of an eye. After realizing what was happening, he was so angry that he jumped up and down and yelled, "Asshole! Asshole!"
Just as he was about to give chase, a series of air currents left in front exploded.
This little bit of power could not cause much damage to the inner alchemy, so Yan Sen did not care. Who knew that when the last airflow group passed, it was not the sword energy that exploded, but smoke. If it were normal, Yan Sen would never fall for this trick, but he had just suffered a big loss and was teased, so he was very angry and inhaled two mouthfuls without paying attention.
Unlike before, the smoke contained a deadly toxin.
"Fuck your ancestors!" Yan Sen was furious and screamed, "Next time! Next time I will tear you alive!" Without his life, no matter how good his sword skills were, they would be in vain. He did not dare to delay the time for detoxification. Reluctantly, he put away the wooden sword and turned around to find a place to force the poison out.
The two men didn't run far before they noticed movement behind them. Gu Pinglin slowed down. Soon, there was another person beside him, and the two of them stopped at the same time.
"Junior brother escaped really fast."
“Same here.”
Without a sword in his hand, Duan Qingming returned to his relaxed and leisurely appearance. He asked with a smile: "How do you know I don't have fifteen moves?"
Gu Pinglin straightened his robe and hummed softly.
The strongest move "Magpie Bridge Shadow Dispersion" did not appear. Not to mention that he has not yet fully mastered the Gu Ying sword technique in this life. Even if he has mastered it, the Gu Ying sword technique only has nine moves. Even if you add the two newly created moves, it will not make up to fifteen moves.
Without waiting for an answer, Duan Qingming sighed, "Yan Sen must be very angry."
"Aren't you the one who makes him angry?" Gu Pinglin had been angered by him too many times in the past and thought that he was hateful. But now, seeing him getting angry at others, he actually found it interesting.
Duan Qingming thought for a moment and said, "Soul Sword Style is pretty good."
Gu Pinglin said: "You are seeking death just to test the sword. If I don't save you, what will you do?"
Duan Qingming did not answer: "O, didn't you take action?"
Gu Pinglin glanced at him.
Maybe he had planned it long ago, maybe he really trusted me a little. In any case, this feeling is not too bad. It would be a good thing if this monster could really care about the friendship between brothers.
Unfortunately, the Soul Sword Style cannot be learned just by looking at it. His efforts this time were doomed to be in vain, and he was hit by the sword in vain.
Gu Pinglin raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Then you must have gained a lot."
Duan Qingming said: "Of course, this time it finally proves one thing."
"oh?"
"The shadow of a crane is indeed the best place to escape."
Gu Pinglin laughed.
