October 10, 394 in the Zhenwu calendar.
Unusually, the sky was gloomy, covered with dark clouds, and seemed to be overwhelmed. There was a bit of restlessness in the air, which made people feel unspeakably depressed.
The wind that blew past was a bit unscrupulous, rolling up the dust and sand, and when it blew across the cheeks, it made people feel a little cool.
The children of each group had already gathered in every corner of the training ground, and the swordsmanship group gathered in the northeast corner of the training ground, neatly arranged.
"Today is the once-a-month battle for the chief of the group, and it is also the first battle for you to enter the clan hall." Chen Chuyun's cold voice penetrated into everyone's ears clearly through the cool wind: "If you win the chief of the group, you will get Ten energy pills reward."
Everyone stared.
"Beat the other group chiefs, and you will get a jar of medicinal wine brewed with Huyang Zhuanggu paste."
Chen Zuoyi and other five clan disciples not only stared wide-eyed, but also became short of breath. Obviously, this medicinal wine is more valuable than ten energy pills.
"Huyang Zhuanggu Ointment is a secret medicine made by our Chen family with a unique secret recipe. It strengthens bones and marrow, and tempers blood energy." Chen Chuyun glanced at Chen Zong and explained: "The effect is better than energy pills." .”
In fact, energy pills are more suitable for taking before tempering blood qi, and it is not as helpful for tempering blood qi as before. However, the medicinal wine made from Huyang Zhuang Bone Paste is mainly for strengthening bones and bone marrow and quenching blood qi.
"I will not only win the chief of the sword group, but also defeat the other four chiefs." Chen Zuoyi vowed, making no secret of his determination.
"Brother Zuo Yi is the number one swordsman, and you must be the chief." Chen Shuiqing flattered.
"Swords have no eyes. For the fairness and safety of the competition, you can only fight with wooden swords." On Chen Chuyun's left is a bundle of black wooden swords, which are the same length and thickness, and on the right is a black wooden box: "You seven, There will be a lottery, No. 1 and No. 2 duel, No. 3 and No. 4 duel, No. 5 and No. 6 duel, and No. 7 has a bye.”
"I'll come first." Chen Wu walked quickly to the wooden box, reached out and took out a wooden sign: "Haha, number seven, I'm so lucky."
The other six people stepped forward in turn, Chen Zong drew number five, and his opponent was number six.
"In the first match, No. 1 vs. No. 2."
Everyone backed away one after another, giving the venue to No. 1 and No. 2.
Number one is Chen Yan, number two is Chen Shuiqing, they happen to be two women among the seven.
"Admit defeat, you are not my opponent." Chen Shuiqing pointed at Chen Yan with a wave of the wooden sword, and said proudly.
"How do you know if you haven't fought before?" Chen Yan smiled, and performed the willow-flicking swordsmanship.
"You asked for it." Chen Shuiqing practiced the residual shadow swordsmanship. When a sword was thrust out, the sword body trembled slightly, and three sword shadows appeared, which alternated with the sword body. It was difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
Chen Yan's body was swaying, and the wooden sword was waving like a willow branch. He also reached the peak of Dacheng, which was pleasing to the eye.
The Fuliu swordsmanship, which is also at the peak of Dacheng, has a kind of softness when performed under Chen Yan's sword, but it has a kind of tenacity when performed by Chen Zong.
In Chen Zong's eyes, whether it was Chen Yan or Chen Shuiqing, their swordsmanship had many flaws.
It only took five minutes from the time the sword was released to the end. Chen Shuiqing was defeated by one move, and his face was ashen.
Number three was Chen Shaoze, and number four was Chen Zuoyi. The two did not confront each other, because Chen Shaoze directly conceded defeat and knew that he was not Chen Zuoyi's opponent. Chen Zuoyi took it for granted.
The third battle was Chen Zong vs. Chen Che. Chen Zuoyi gave Chen Che a look, and Chen Che nodded in understanding.
"Turtle from the Zhi clan, let me see how you are practicing the three swordsmanship?" Chen Che put on the eagle fencing swordsmanship and grinned: "Have you started yet?"
Chen Zong didn't make any sword moves, just stood upright holding the wooden sword.
"Conceited turkey." Chen Shuiqing was in a bad mood, sarcastically.
"Probably because I don't even have the entry, I'm too embarrassed to take it out, I'm afraid of being embarrassing." Chen Wu smiled, and the corners of Chen Zuoyi's mouth curled up, showing a hint of contempt.
"Take my move, eagle claw strike!" Chen Che's eyes were cold and stern, his steps flew forward, he jumped up lightly, the wooden sword in his hand stabbed out rapidly, and under the slight trembling of his wrist, the sword was like the sharp claws of an eagle, ruthlessly Grab Chen Zong's shoulder.
The wooden sword was fast and ruthless, merciless, as if determined to injure Chen Zong, Chen Zong remained motionless as if frightened.
Chen Wu and the others grinned, and when they were about to laugh a few words, Chen Zong moved, raised his right hand, and stabbed out the black wooden sword like lightning, following the opening and hitting Chen Che's chest directly.
He turned over on his back, fell to the ground, and his chest hurt endlessly. Chen Che was sure that the place where he was hit was definitely black and blue, but he was very confused. What happened
Obviously, his eagle claw strike was about to hit the opponent's shoulder, why did he suddenly fall to the ground and roll
Chen Wu opened his mouth wide and couldn't utter a word. His whole body was in a mess, and Chen Zuoyi was also surprised. The sword just now was very fast.
Chen Chuyun nodded secretly, the recent training has been quite fruitful.
Fast, accurate, and steady has a certain degree of heat.
There is no doubt that Chen Zong won, it was just an understatement of the sword, and I can see that none of these people have practiced the basic eighteen moves, maybe they didn't pay attention to it at all, otherwise, the flaws in Chen Che's swordsmanship , it will not be so obvious.
"You four draw lots again." Chen Chuyun said.
This time Chen Zong drew number two, Chen Yan was number three, Chen Wu was number four, and Chen Zuoyi was number one.
"Remember what I said 20 days ago, it will be fulfilled soon." Although Chen Zuoyi was surprised by the speed of Chen Zong's sword, he still didn't pay attention to it. It can be reversed so easily.
"Please." Chen Zong's answer was very simple.
"Brother Zuo Yi, teach him a lesson." Chen Shuiqing shouted.
"Yes." Chen Che nodded vigorously, gasping for breath as he affected his chest injury.
Chen Zuoyi made an eagle fencing attack, and his aura immediately changed, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he was looking at Chen Zong as a prey.
The same swordsmanship and the same realm, performed by Chen Zuoyi, completely surpassed Chen Che. This is a powerful opponent, and he deserves to be taken seriously. Chen Zong also performed the eagle fencing swordsmanship.
Everyone felt that Chen Zong seemed to be turning into an eagle and soaring.
"Impossible!" Not only Chen Zuoyi, but several others also whispered.
Didn't it mean that after Chen Zong entered the family hall, he began to practice the eagle fencing and other three kinds of swordsmanship? Why did his starting moves have reached the peak of Dacheng, and even surpassed Chen Zuoyi.
"There is already a taste of perfection." Chen Chuyun secretly said.
When the swordsmanship has been practiced to this point, it is not difficult to practice to reach the perfect state, it is only a matter of time.
It sounds simple, but it is actually not easy. For most people, no matter how much effort they put in, they cannot cultivate their martial arts to perfection. That is something only a few people can do.
Out of the sword!
Flying like an eagle, it spread its wings and swept across the sky.
The eagle fencing method, the main attack, is to fight the enemy with the tip of the sword, and the performance is fierce.
Eagle Wing Strike!
Eagle Claw Strike!
Eagle soars!
Eagle peck!
One sword after another, without mercy, the wooden sword is like wings, claws, and a sharp beak.
Following a trace of flaws, Chen Zong slashed out with a sword, hitting Chen Zuoyi's arm directly, like a whip whip, Chen Zuoyi's arm trembled, the wooden sword almost dropped from his hand, and he retreated hastily.
"Wait." Seeing that Chen Zong was about to pursue him, Chen Zuoyi quickly said.
"You want to admit defeat?" Chen Zong's words almost made Chen Zuoyi vomit blood.
"I won't admit defeat. It's not my true strength just now. Now, I'll let you know how powerful I am." Chen Zuoyi said angrily, and once again made a sword attack, which is completely different from the eagle fencing sword. A kind of lightness, and immediately, Chen Zuoyi moved his blood, and his skin turned slightly red.
"Quick sword!" With a low shout, Chen Zuoyi drew out the sword. The speed of the sword was astonishing. It pierced through the air and made a sharp whistling sound. The moment the sword was drawn, it appeared in front of Chen Zong's eyes.
"So fast!" Chen Zong was astonished, and quickly backed away. The wooden sword swung and swung to hold the opponent's sword. Unexpectedly, Chen Zuoyi quickly retracted the sword, and stabbed out again, and the speed increased a little.
One sword after another, the faster the speed, Chen Zong kept retreating, his eyes were sharp, looking for flaws in Chen Zuoyi's swordsmanship.
This fast sword has very few flaws, and it is fleeting, making it difficult to grasp.
That being the case, create your own flaws.
Swing willow pose!
Misunderstanding!
Eagle peck!
A sword pierced Chen Zuoyi's wrist directly. The terrifying force seemed to crush the bones and make the sword fall off.
Another sword hit Chen Zuoyi's throat.
"Before, you could admit defeat." Chen Zong said quietly, making Chen Zuoyi almost vomit blood again.
He had clearly displayed the Seven Quick Sword Styles, which was more powerful than the eagle fencing technique, and he had clearly transported blood to strengthen his body in all directions, and his strength increased by a hundred catties, but he still lost in the end.
Next, Chen Yan will face off against Chen Wu.
What Chen Wu practiced was the afterimage swordsmanship. The two sides confronted each other, and Chen Wu defeated Chen Yan with his sword.
"In the final battle, Chen Zong will face off against Chen Wu." Chen Chuyun announced.
This battle is related to the ownership of the chief of the sword group, and even more related to the ownership of the ten energy pills.
"I admit defeat." Chen Wu hesitated a few times before he spoke. His strength was at best similar to Chen Che's, not as good as Chen Zuoyi's. Chen Zuoyi was also defeated by Chen Zong when Chen Zuoyi was at full strength. There is only one of the same.
That being the case, Chen Wu didn't want to go up, so as not to lose face.
A swordsman who practiced such a test was afraid of a battle, his sharpness had been lost, and it was difficult to achieve anything. Chen Chuyun secretly said, but this is the opponent's right, and she will not interfere.
"The chief of the sword group is Chen Zong. In the afternoon, there will be a battle between the chiefs of the five groups. At that time, the elders of the clan hall will come to watch the battle." Chen Chuyun said: "Chen Zong, prepare well and defeat the chiefs of the other four groups."
"Yes." Chen Zong's voice was resolute and powerful.
"Disband."
Chen Chuyun left, and Chen Zong also left.
"Hmph, the villain is successful." Staring at Chen Zong's back, Chen Che was indignant.
"Does he think that winning the chief of the sword group can defeat the chiefs of the other four groups? It's too self-righteous." Chen Shuiqing is also the same.
"As far as I know, Chen Fenghua in the knife group has practiced both the chain knife technique and the heavy strike knife technique to the peak of Dacheng, and his strength is even higher than mine." Chen Zuoyi sneered.
"In the afternoon, let's see how this tribe of soil turtles loses face in front of the elders." Chen Wu laughed.
"You guys are so pathetic." Chen Yan said one sentence, and left amidst the ashen faces of the crowd.
