After Yang Qi and Yun Lan parted ways, he just returned to his palace and found a figure in blue shirt waiting for something outside the palace. When he saw him coming, a smile immediately appeared on the man's face.
The blue-shirted man's eyes fell on Yang Qi and he slowly asked, "Yang Qi?"
"Shi Xiu?"
Yang Qi looked at the man in blue shirt and said uncertainly.
The blue-shirted man in front of him had reached the peak of the Seven-Star Martial Master level. Plus, he appeared near his palace at this time. Yang Qi immediately thought that the blue-shirted man in front of him might be Shi Xiu, the winner of another spot!
"Yes, I am Shi Xiu."
The man in blue nodded slightly, and then said, "I heard that Junior Brother Yang will also go to the Martial Emperor Secret Realm this time, so I came to see him."
"Brother Shi, you are too polite. I should have been the one to meet you, but I have been in seclusion for cultivation these days and just came out not long ago, so I haven't had time to visit you." Yang Qi said hurriedly.
Yang Qi originally planned to meet Shi Xiu in the next two days, but he didn't expect that Shi Xiu would take the initiative to come and see him. After all, Shi Xiu was ahead of him in terms of cultivation and the time he had been a disciple of Tianjian Sect, so Yang Qi should be the one to visit him.
Shi Xiu smiled calmly and said, "It's okay. You and I are brothers from the same sect. It's the same for everyone to see each other."
Yang Qi nodded slightly. He had a good first impression of Shi Xiu. Although Shi Xiu was not as evil as him, that was relative. In fact, Shi Xiu was definitely the most outstanding among the practitioners of his generation. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to improve his cultivation to the peak level of Seven-Star Martial Honor in less than two hundred years.
Yang Qi immediately invited Shi Xiu to sit down, and the two had a detailed discussion, gaining a brief understanding of each other's strengths and areas of expertise.
After listening to Shi Xiu's introduction, Yang Qi said with emotion, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Shi actually has a wind attribute physique and follows the path of the wind path."
The Wind Path is extremely good at both attack and speed. In other words, Shi Xiu is not weak in both escaping and attacking, which is also the benefit brought by the wind attribute physique.
"Junior Brother Yang, you are too kind. Compared with Junior Brother Yang, my skills seem a little inferior." Shi Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He had practiced for more than a hundred years longer than Yang Qi, but his cultivation was only one small realm higher than Yang Qi's. In addition, Yang Qi also had great success in sword intent, so Shi Xiu knew that Yang Qi's strength was probably not much weaker than his. Yang Qi was recognized by the Wanxiang Tower as the number one genius in the Martial Honor Realm of the Zichen Continent!
"Junior Brother Yang, you have a strong body and are good at saving your life, which makes people envy you. But it's a pity that I don't have much talent in body refining." Shi Xiu sighed. Although he also practiced body refining, his achievements in body refining were not very high.
Yang Qi smiled calmly and said, "It was only by chance that I was able to practice the Body Refining Flow to this point."
“This trip to the Martial Emperor Secret Realm, the Eight-Star Martial Lord should be a watershed. For geniuses below the Eight-Star Martial Lord realm, the ability to preserve one’s life is more important than anything else.” Shi Xiu said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Yang Qi was stunned at first, then nodded. There are geniuses at the eight-star Martial Honor Realm among the practitioners of Zichen Continent. One must know that among the eighty-one cultivation worlds, Zichen Continent can only be regarded as above average.
In a cultivation world like Xuantian Continent, the talented practitioners who enter the Martial Emperor Secret Realm are probably mainly at the level of Eight-Star Martial Lord. If you want to compete with these geniuses at the Eight-Star Martial Lord level, you must have poor life-preserving abilities.
If one does not have enough power to protect oneself, even if one obtains an opportunity, one will not be able to keep it and will only become fat meat in the eyes of other practitioners.
At this moment, Shi Xiu suddenly looked at Yang Qi with a burning gaze and said, "Junior Brother Yang, are you interested in a fight?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Yang Qi chuckled and agreed directly.
Although the two had a general understanding of each other's strength, they could only have a more intuitive understanding of the specifics after a real fight. Most importantly, fighting and learning from each other would help them cooperate with each other in the Martial Emperor Secret Realm in the future and make them more tacitly acquainted.
The two of them did not hesitate and immediately chose an arena on Tianjian Peak to compete.
"Junior Brother Yang, your strength and mine are not much different. How about asking my master to step in to prevent accidental injuries?" Shi Xiu looked at Yang Qi.
Yang Qi chuckled and said, "No need. I still have some confidence in my ability to save my life."
"That's good too. It's a good opportunity for me to see Junior Brother Yang's method of saving his life!" Shi Xiu was startled, and then a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
This time, in addition to understanding each other's strength, this competition was also a test for Shi Xiu. Yang Qi had practiced for too short a time. Although he was famous, Shi Xiu had no idea how strong Yang Qi was. If the gap between Yang Qi's strength and his was too big, he would definitely drag him down in the Martial Emperor Secret Realm!
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The two of them flashed and came directly to the arena. Shi Xiu immediately moved his hand and directly activated the arena's formation to prevent the remaining power of the fight between the two from escaping.
Yang Qi and Shi Xiu both have the cultivation base of high-level Martial Lords. As the top talents in Zichen Continent, their own combat power is much higher than their cultivation base. Once they let go, they will be able to cause huge damage to Tianjian Sect!
clang~
Shi Xiu moved his hand, and a silver-grey sword appeared in his hand. As the sword appeared, an ancient and cold aura came to his face.
"A fake Taoist soldier?"
Looking at the long sword in Shi Xiu's hand, Yang Qi's eyes focused. Although Shi Xiu did not activate the power of the pseudo-Taoist soldier, he had seen many pseudo-Taoist soldiers. When the ancient long sword appeared, Yang Qi had an intuition deep in his heart that it was a pseudo-Taoist soldier!
Shi Xiu is Elder Ding's most proud disciple. Elder Ding is also a powerful martial arts master who has lived for nearly a thousand years. It is not difficult to understand why he bestowed a pseudo-Taoist weapon on his disciple.
After all, Shi Xiu's cultivation is only at the peak of the Seven-Star Martial Master level, and there is still some gap between him and the Eight-Star Martial Master level. With the help of the Pseudo-Taoist Soldiers, the strength that Shi Xiu can unleash will probably not be weaker than those geniuses at the Eight-Star Martial Master level.
Shi Xiu's eyes fixed, looking in the direction of Yang Qi, he said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Yang, be careful, I have comprehended the fast sword intent, and I am best at fast sword."
The Wind Path is good at speed, and the sword intent that Shi Xiu comprehended is obviously biased towards speed, just like Yang Qi's domineering sword intent when he walked, but in fact his sword intent is integrated with the direction of tenacity. The same path, different practitioners comprehend different things, in addition to the difference in their own perceptions, there is also the problem of emphasis.
Whoosh~
As soon as Shi Xiu finished speaking, he turned into a shadow and instantly appeared in front of Yang Qi. He swung his sword, which had been ready for a long time, directly at Yang Qi. (To be continued)
