The fourth cave.
"Huhhuhu~~~~" The cold wind howled, the snowflakes fluttered, and it was a scene of ice and snow.
Ji Ning appeared out of nowhere, and with a glance, he saw a hut in the distance. Inside the hut, a white-haired and indifferent man was sitting cross-legged. There was a wine pot in front of him, and there was a fire to warm the wine. There is also an ordinary sword on the side.
"Huh?" Ji Ning looked at the white-haired and indifferent man.
"Why, Taoist Lord Feiqian has another disciple who learns sword?" The white-haired man looked at Ji Ning indifferently.
"Flying Taoist Lord, I don't know him." Ji Ning shook his head.
"Oh?" The white-haired man looked at Ji Ning in surprise, "In this Chaos Era, more than ten world-level people from Feiqian Daojun's sect have come to compete with me, although Feiqian Daojun is not too strong , but he is also a three-step Taoist. Do you have the ability to take the fourth Xuejian scroll from him?"
Ji Ning immediately understood that the fourth picture scroll was in the hands of a Taoist monarch, and he often let different disciples come in to compete swords. That's right, like the first time I got the scroll, it was originally in the hands of Daoist Sufeng.
"I can't snatch the treasure of Lord Three Steps now, but I can buy it." Ji Ning said, "I have defeated the emperor, fisherman, and assassin, and now you are the only one left."
"Have you defeated the first three?" The white-haired man who had been calm all this time had a flash of light in his eyes, and his fighting spirit rose. He reached out and picked up the sword on the table, then stood up, and walked out of the thatched cottage slowly. His eyes fell on Ji Ning, "You can call me... a swordsman!"
"Swordsman?" Ji Ning was taken aback.
Calling himself a swordsman directly, Ji Ning faintly felt that the one in front of him might not be so easy to defeat.
"I am also the final test." The white-haired man stood on the snow and stared at Ji Ning, "Let's unleash the sword."
"Okay." With a flash in Ji Ning's hand, a icy sword appeared.
The only comparison between the two is swordsmanship, and other magical powers need to be suppressed.
"call out."
Ji Ning drew his sword first, and the sword light flashed, all the power was concentrated, and even the snowflakes floating beside him were not affected at all. It is not to say that the bigger the hand and the movement, the stronger the strength. The higher the real level, the power will not be easily leaked. In essence, the more concentrated the power, the greater the power. Like the thunder of the Tao, if it is scattered, its power will decrease sharply, and it can only reach its maximum power when it is concentrated to deal with one enemy.
The same goes for swordsmanship!
"Dang." The white-haired man also drew his sword.
The swords of the two are far beyond the limit of heaven and much faster than light. If mortals are watching by the side, let alone mortals, even if some gods are watching by the side, they will only feel that the two are The figure flickered occasionally, but no sword light could be seen at all. The speed of the sword has exceeded the limit of what they can observe.
The two kept flashing in the wind and snow, and the sword lights crossed again and again.
"What a powerful sword, what a pure sword." Ji Ning was secretly surprised. The swordsmanship of this white-haired man is worthy of calling himself a swordsman, and it is also worthy of being the last test. There are different schools, so this swordsman's swordsmanship seems to be inclusive of everything.
His swordsmanship can be violent, airy, cold and sharp...
Although strictly speaking, in terms of weirdness, he is only comparable to an assassin, and in terms of Piao Miao's defense, he is also comparable to a fisherman, but because he is very high in all aspects, his swordsmanship as a whole is very terrible. When everything has no shortcomings, his attack It can be easily turned into defense, defense can be turned into inducement, and inducement can be turned into assassination, all transformations are very natural.
It was like a continuous ring, Ji Ning's current level of swordsmanship was already very high, much higher than the fisherman, assassin, and emperor, and he could easily win. But in the face of the 'swordsman', there was nothing he could do for a while.
"puff."
"laugh."
The swords and lights of the two staggered and continued to fight.
The strong desire to win made Ji Ning constantly seek the way to win in his mind. The insights gained in these years in the Sword Tower Forest have also gradually integrated into the "Consonance Domain". The domain' has also been improved, because the Lingxi domain essentially represents a path of sword cultivation.
This road can be continuously improved, and even become a one-step Taoist, two-step Taoist, three-step Taoist...
But this road is not too difficult, this road is equivalent to the 'fisherman' road, in Wuming Sword Art, it is only at the level of the sixth form, and the seventh form of Wuming Sword Art is better than the sixth form. more difficult.
…
Before they knew it, the two had been fighting for more than three hours, and Ji Ning was showing more and more oppressive advantages.
In fact, it was quite normal. He could easily defeat the first three caves when he was in Xingchen Island. Although he was in the Sword Palace for a short time, he has made great progress after practicing under the time hut for more than two thousand years.
"clang."
The misty sword light swung away the white-haired man's sword and stabbed him in the throat.
Immediately, Ji Ning withdrew his sword and retreated.
"You won." The white-haired man smiled.
Ji Ning's eyes were erratic. The victory of this battle made Ji Ning understand the meaning of the choice of path.
The road to the Lingxi field is relatively easy.
The path of the white-haired man is a perfect combination of several paths of swordsmanship. This path is more than ten times more difficult, but it is also more powerful.
certainly-
Just like the four-step Taoist on the road of Consonance Domain, pure swordsmanship can easily defeat the two-step Taoist on the road of 'white-haired man swordsmanship'. Ji Ning has also achieved extremely high achievements in the field of consonance, and now Ji Ning faintly feels that he is only a little short of becoming a Taoist monarch, and if he breaks through a little bit, he may be able to become a Taoist monarch at any time by relying on the field of consonance.
"However, the field of consonance is not my path after all."
"Even the white-haired man's swordsmanship is not my way."
Ji Ning's way is to directly point to the essence of the sword, to absorb the essence of all swordsmanship and integrate it into his own swordsmanship. "Bright Moon Sword Art" represents Ji Ning's way.
The white-haired man is just a perfect combination of several kinds of swordsmanship, which is higher than the realm of consonance, but it is not the essence of the sword, pointing to the essence... It is also destined to be the purest and most difficult path, but in Ji Ning's heart, sword practice is the Thinking this way, I naturally wanted to go this way. What you think in your heart is the most suitable.
…
"Om~~~~"
In the Immortal Mansion, Ji Ning sat cross-legged. The one who competed in the cave was only his divine power avatar.
After defeating the guardian of the fourth cave, Ji Ning summoned four sets of snow mirror picture scrolls with a thought, and saw that the four picture scrolls were all floating, and at the same time gradually began to move closer and completely overlapped, until the four picture scrolls were completely After overlapping, they condensed into a picture scroll. This picture scroll looks ordinary and has no sword intent. The painting on the picture scroll...is a portrait of a man.
This man is carrying a sword on his back, looking into the distance, he is really handsome.
"Disciple, this is the portrait of the master, let's kowtow three times first." A voice came from the portrait.
Ji Ning was startled.
Then I was speechless.
Emperor Xuejian, oh Emperor Xuejian, I didn't expect you to be so narcissistic. Four scrolls fused into one turned out to be a self-portrait? Still painted yourself so perfectly? The previous paintings are so ordinary, but the self-portrait is so good, the most important thing is that this self-portrait has no sword intent, Ji Ning suspects that it may not be drawn by Emperor Xuejian himself.
He can't draw so well.
"I don't know what tricks this master left behind, so let's kowtow obediently." Ji Ning immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to the portrait of Emperor Xuejian on the floating picture scroll.
call~~~
The moment the kowtow was over, the picture scroll shone with light, and the light enveloped Ji Ning, and Ji Ning didn't resist, whoosh, Ji Ning was included in the picture scroll.
…
Inside the Emperor's Cave.
In a vast and vast world, in a wilderness stands a man with a long sword on his back, and beside him are four attendants respectfully standing. These four attendants are the emperor, the assassin, and the fisherman. ,swordsman.
Wow.
Ji Ning appeared out of nowhere.
"Disciple." The man with the long sword turned his head to look at Ji Ning.
Ji Ning took a look, and immediately understood that the person in front of him should be Emperor Xuejian, but he should not be the real emperor. At first glance... this emperor is really handsome. It seems that the portrait is not fake, especially the natural look in his eyes The sword intent contained in it also shocked Ji Ning. Although Emperor Xuejian's sword intent seemed plain, there was a sharp edge in the plain, which was much more terrifying than the feeling that Taoist Mu Hua gave Ji Ning.
"Master." Ji Ninglian shouted respectfully.
"This world will only appear after the fusion of the four picture scrolls." Dijun looked at Ji Ning, "I have been staying here temporarily for a while, and I have been waiting for you, my good disciple."
