Gu Xichun and Xu Heshan didn't know the dark-skinned boy who was about to meet Ding Ning, they just judged from the uniform on his body that he should belong to the Ivy Sword Academy.
All the people present at the Ivy Sword Academy knew that this dark-skinned young man was named Yu Lian, and he was from Liuquan County.
There are many kilns in Liuquan County, and this Yu Lian is the son of a certain kiln chief.
Although he came from a mediocre background, his cultivation level was considered top-notch in the Qingteng Sword Academy, and he was already at the top level of Qi refining.
In the eyes of everyone, Yu Lian and Ding Ning walked slowly across a vine wall, the end of the road was the same exit, and the two would meet eventually.
…
Almost at the same time, Ding Ning saw the dark-skinned Ivy Sword Academy student beside him, and Yu Lian also saw Ding Ning.
The immediate reaction of the two people was exactly the same, they both stood still, holding the hilt of their swords.
Ding Ning's expression was calm, while Yu Lian's face was tense and his eyes hesitated.
This is not a trial that can be completed in one day, so everyone wants to save as much energy as possible until the end, but thinking of defeating an opponent every day to obtain the token on the opponent, and thinking that the opponent is an Aries The most popular genius in the cave, if he directly eliminated him, the teachers on the viewing platform would be very happy... Thinking of this, the hesitation in Yu Lian's eyes quickly disappeared and turned into a ghostly fire.
With a soft clang, he stared at Ding Ning, without saying a word, and drew his sword out of its sheath.
His sword was red all over, exuding a jade-like luster.
"Good sword!"
However, Ding Ning looked at his sword and said admiringly, "What kind of sword is this?"
Yu Lian was slightly stunned, he was stuck in etiquette, he responded softly: "It's called Dark Fire, it comes from the Secret Fire Sword Workshop in Liuquan County."
Ding Ning nodded, and drew his sword across his chest.
Compared with Yu Lian's dark fire sword, his remnant sword is only one third of the length, which looks pitifully small.
Everyone thought that he was going to fight next, and Yu Lian also thought that he was about to make a move, but in the next moment, Ding Ning's whole body rushed towards a gap in the rattan wall in front of him.
There was an uproar on the viewing platform.
Xu Heshan and the others were all stunned.
Ding Ning actually chose to escape directly.
Although the rules of this kind of trial can indeed escape, according to the ethos of the Great Qin Dynasty, it is very shameful and cowardly to escape directly under such a one-on-one duel.
Gu Xichun was startled, and then a mocking expression appeared on his face.
"He didn't even dare to face the practitioner's sword. It seems that he is not as good as you think." He turned his head to look at Xu Heshan and said sarcastically.
Xu Heshan frowned, looking at Ding Ning who was desperately fleeing, he was also unhappy.
Yu Lian didn't expect Ding Ning to turn his head and run away at all, but he also reacted immediately, gave a soft whistle, and chased after him.
Ding Ning had just reached the Qi Refining Realm, and he was already at the top-rank Qi Refining Realm, and there were two small realms between them, so his figure was obviously much stronger and faster than Ding Ning's.
After just a few ups and downs, he has already caught up with Ding Ning, less than ten feet away.
You can't escape even if you escape, but it's just more people look down on you.
The irony on Gu Xichun's face was even stronger.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred. The vine wall shrouded in blue mist beside Ding Ning and Yu Lian suddenly trembled, and several vines pierced out like lightning.
Ding Ning's steps didn't stop at all, he raised the broken sword in his hand, cut off the two green vines that were close to him first, and continued to rush forward.
Yu Lian was taken aback, a faint red flame suddenly appeared on the body of the long red sword in his hand.
He swept across with his sword, and one of the green vines attacking him was cut off, and the incision was scorched black. However, at this moment, there was a soft pop sound, and a pile of broken leaves gushed out like a fountain, and a thick vine With the sound of howling wind, it rolled towards him fiercely.
Yu Lian was well aware of the power of this kind of vine, his expression changed slightly, and a surge of true energy poured into his long sword again.
With a soft chirp, all the red flames on the dark red long sword in his hand disappeared, but the temperature of the whole sword body rose sharply.
His sword stood up in his hand, straightened upwards, and then stabbed upwards violently.
The fiery red hot sword tip easily pierced the iron-like skin of the thick vine that was already close to his chest, and nailed hard into the inside.
Many students on the viewing platform looked slightly cold.
They recognized that it was the "Burning Candle Burning Heaven" form in the Fentian Sword Sutra.
This is an extremely fierce close-up sword style, fighting directly within a radius of several feet, if you can't avoid this sword, you will be directly pierced by the sword from bottom to top, and then directly into the brain, the sword will definitely kill you .
At this moment, the front end of the thick vine that was stretching out quickly was pierced by this sword. Seeing that Yu Lian's sword was about to move forward, he wanted to split the thick vine from the middle with a single sword, breaking it into two pieces.
However, at this moment, Ding Ning, who was running away in front of him, suddenly stopped and turned around!
A dark green sword light flew from his hand and cut Yu Lian's wrist.
This is definitely another change that no one has imagined.
Yu Lian's face was full of shock and anger. He yelled sharply, and countless dust and shatters flew up from under his body. His feet penetrated deeply into the ground below like two iron pillars.
Because at this moment, a few thin vines were already swimming towards his ankles.
Although he was facing three flanking attacks, he did not panic at all. While ensuring that he could stand still for the next moment, his sword jerked violently, and the blade lifted up, knocking against Ding Ning's broken sword.
Although he couldn't hear the sound, everyone on the viewing platform could also see the hot air around his red long sword explode.
The crimson red on the sword disappeared quickly, but the ghostly fire that had previously filled it violently turned outward.
The front end of the thick vine pinned by his sword quickly became scorched black and was about to burn.
The remnant sword in Ding Ning's hand cut into this dark and astonishingly hot flame. After his true energy poured into the runes on the dark green sword, he formed a blossoming white jasmine-like sword energy. The strength of the sword is obviously very different from these flames. The gap, chi chi chi, blossoms extinguished.
The scalding heat even made the skin of his arms burn, but he didn't withdraw his sword.
His blade intersected with the dark fire long sword, but there was hardly any sound.
At this moment, the dark green remnant sword in his hand, like a very slippery fish, quickly slid down against the dark fire long sword, cutting towards Yu Lian's finger holding the sword.
A strong unbelievable feeling surged in Yu Lian's heart. Could it be that the other party, who had practiced the sword for a long time before practicing, could react like this at this moment
His face suddenly became extremely pale, and the sword in his hand forcibly turned half a circle at this moment.
There was a soft sound.
The broken sword in Ding Ning's hand was knocked away several feet.
clap clap clap...
There were also countless whipping sounds under his feet, and several thin vines wrapped around his ankles, unable to drag him for a while, but only stirred up a few pieces of dust again.
Ding Ning's face was still abnormally calm, his footsteps moved lightly, and the dark green broken sword bloomed with many white flowers again, cutting towards Yu Lian's wrist.
In normal times, Yu Lian has many ways to avoid this sword, and even directly swung his sword to fight back.
However, his long sword was in a stalemate with the thick vine at the moment, and his body was firmly nailed into the soil. As long as he lifted his feet, he might be dragged away by those thin vines in the next moment.
He had no choice but to abandon the sword.
Otherwise, his wrist would be severed by Ding Ning's delicate sword.
Yu Lian let go of the hand holding the sword, his whole body trembling slightly.
There was a light ding.
The light of the sword in Ding Ning's hand turned, he picked up the hilt of the dark fire sword, and instantly pulled the sword back from the thick vine, and flew out.
At the same time, his body dodged to one side without stopping.
While riding the scorched black thick vine around Yu Lian's body, he walked towards the vine wall again, and the broken sword in his hand once again provoked a large and dense sword light, and within a few breaths, the thick vine cut off.
The severed thick vine fell from Yu Lian's body to his feet like several coils of thick hemp rope.
With Yu Lian's strength, he can break the few thin vines under his feet at this moment.
However, he no longer has a sword in his hand.
With only flesh and blood, it is impossible for him to contend with the sword in Ding Ning's hand, even if it is just a broken sword.
And he knew very well that in a real battle, Ding Ning would not have cut off the thick vine at that moment, but would have killed him first.
So he lowered his head in great sadness, and said in a trembling voice, "I lost."
Ding Ning nodded, he didn't speak, panting, waiting for Yu Lian to hand over the order talisman on his body.
…
There was silence on the viewing platform.
"Good sword."
Xu Heshan's voice broke the silence. He looked at the burning dark fire sword that had fallen to the ground, and clapped his hands: "The dark fire sword made by a famous craftsman in Liuquan County is indeed a good sword. Walking in the rune and the blade can ignite such a high-temperature flame, but in this battle, Ding Ning, who is holding the broken sword, performed better."
Gu Xichun's face was covered with frost, of course he knew that Xu Heshan's words were aimed at him.
"It's just a coincidence."
He looked at Xu Heshan coldly, and said: "If there is no such trap there, Ding Ning should be the one who surrenders at this moment."
Xu Heshan stopped applauding, and retorted: "Being able to use everything around you is also a kind of ability."
Gu Xichun said expressionlessly: "It's a pity that there is no such trickery in the battles between the vast majority of practitioners. The battles on the usual battlefield are like this, the battles in the streets are like this, and even the Minshan Sword There is no trickery in the competition in the meeting. Compared with these small tricks, I believe in absolute strength."
Xu Heshan is not a person who is good at debating, Gu Xichun's words made him very angry, but for a while he couldn't think of any words to refute.
So he just fell into silence with a sullen face.
Xie Changsheng, who was very active before, also fell silent at the moment.
Xie Rou's words "don't let even one of Li Lingjun's disciples be defeated in the future" stimulated him a lot, and Ding Ning's performance at this moment made him no longer in the mood to play around.
"He is indeed very good, but what kind of broken sword is that in his hand? It is so far from the opponent's sword." He was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "Does Baiyang Cave even have the money to buy a good sword?" None?"
Hearing his words, Xie Rou shook her head, "Since the master of Baiyang Cave gave him such a sword, they will naturally have their intentions. And you don't want to look so stupid every time you speak, it's all about money. "
"Knowing how to spend money is not a real dandy, but being able to spend money but not being able to cultivate a name is the real dandy." Xie Changsheng didn't smile on his face, he seemed to be answering Xie Rou, and he seemed to be talking to himself Said softly.
