Everyone in the Bixia Sect never expected that this battle would be so intense.
After all, Kun Xie was a master of the generation, and he was also a disciple of Hulu Gu, but the latter was the one who was able to draw a tie with Qi Fengge back then. Such an opponent was not easy to dismiss.
Shen Qiao had already lost once, and there must be a shadow in his heart. If he wants to win the second time, it will be more difficult than winning the first time, because he not only has to defeat the enemy, but also himself.
If the disciples of Bixia Sect were worried and saw the Sect Master beside him, they felt at ease, and felt that even if Shen Qiao lost, the Sect Master would still be able to fight. Only Yue Kunchi knew very well that Zhao Chiying had forcibly broken the barrier. Martial arts are damaged, if Shen Qiao loses this battle, it will be the fate of being slaughtered by the Bixia Sect.
Can Shen Qiao win
He shook off his uneasy heart, and refocused his attention on watching this showdown.
Kunxie was walking a masculine and domineering way of martial arts. When he fell with a knife, the tiger and tiger made wind, carrying the momentum of the mountain shaking and the ground shaking. There was a buzzing sound, all of which were the sound of sword energy breaking through the air, and it was unbearable and harsh. People with almost no foundation in martial arts couldn't help but cover their ears.
But if you think that Kunxie Qinggong is not good because of this, it is a big mistake.
The two hit the edge of the cliff all the way from the flat ground, and then hung directly on the cutting wall to fight fiercely. The gravel splashed in all directions, and they were dazzling. Compared with Kun Xie's domineering, Shen Qiao's shot was a little too gentle, and the sword was like a human being. , mellow and long, like touching the cheeks, rubbing the willow spring breeze, clear and clear, like the Taoist school, but perhaps lost the aggressive sharpness.
However, when the two of them fought over a hundred moves, and Shen Qiao was still unstoppable, the people who were worried about Shen Qiao realized that it was not the case at all. Although the sword momentum was like a trickle at first, it was inconspicuous, and it was even suppressed by the sword pressure, but it was continuous and uninterrupted, and it gradually turned from quiet to magnificent.
The more Kun Xie fought, the more frightened he became.
During the half-step peak, he could only use the eight-level sword qi, but now he has the ninth level, and the realm of swords is even better. Not to mention Shen Qiao, whose skill is greatly reduced now, even if it is Shen Qiao before he was injured, he is confident that he has one. The power of battle.
However, at first the opponent in front of him could see it clearly and weakly, and the bottom of the water could be seen at a glance.
This puddle is actually a deep pool!
The sky is wide and the rainbow shadows, this Qinggong of Xuandu Mountain is just like its name, Changhong leaps across the blue sky, as light as nothing, walks freely, the mountains and rivers and the sad sword leave a trace of white sword energy on the cut wall, looking like a freehand painting and calligraphy, Swaying freely, upon closer inspection, the hard stone wall was marked with deep sword qi traces. If these traces appeared on a person, the person would have already seen flesh and blood, and blood was everywhere.
Looking at it from a distance, the sword, light, sword and shadow intersected vertically and horizontally, and the tyrannical sword qi did not account for half of it.
Yue Kunchi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and asked Zhao Chiying: "Junior sister, I think Taoist Master Shen should be able to win this time?"
However, Zhao Chiying shook his head: "It's not that simple. Did you realize that? Kunxie has already cultivated the nine-level sword qi, which is actually equivalent to the peak level of sword intent. But he only came out once, that is the one time that Taoist Shen was almost unable to resist."
Yue Kunchi couldn't help but let out a sigh, and his heart raised again: "Could he be consuming Daochang Shen's internal strength?"
Zhao Chiying: "Yes, in terms of internal strength, Daochang Shen really can't compare with Kunxie now. The longer the fight, the more disadvantageous it will be for Daoist Shen."
Yue Kunchi was a little anxious: "What's the matter? Is it possible that Daoist Shen didn't realize this, and just let Kun Xie succeed?"
Zhao Chiying didn't speak, she naturally didn't believe that Shen Qiao didn't see it, but she couldn't guess what Shen Qiao planned.
Shen Qiao was actually testing.
He is testing his bottom line.
Since "Zhu Yang Ce" has the effect of reshaping the foundation and forging the bones and muscles, it combines the strengths of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and its internal strength also has the characteristics of the three schools.
Taoism emphasizes that the highest good is like water, and if you fight without fighting, this is in line with his original swordsmanship, and they are in the same line, so that there is no obstacle.
Buddhists pay attention to solemnity and solemnity, with both the power of the angry eyes of a vajra and the kindness of the bodhisattva's low eyebrows. This is a relatively mysterious depiction. In "Zhu Yangce", it is integrated into the true qi, which is just like the Dao's rigidity and softness. The combination of rigidity and softness is compatible with each other, which helps its swordsmanship be soft with rigidity, and can swim between the gurgling streams and the turbulent waves without hindrance.
Confucian styles are more complex, but when Tao Hongjing wrote "Zhu Yang Ce", he took the characteristics of Confucian benevolence and tolerance, mediating the strengths of various schools, and being inclusive. Generating new true qi is like a dead tree coming back to life in spring.
Shen Qiao used to have a foundation of true qi from the Xuandu Shannei family, and then practiced "Zhu Yang Ce", but he didn't make much progress. Now that he has all started from scratch, he felt that the "Zhu Yang Ce" is really worthy of the name of the world's rare book. , I am afraid that when many people compete for this book, they do not know the real mystery of it.
What's even better is that when Tao Hongjing wrote "Zhu Yangce", he must have expected that in the turbulent times, the book would not be easy to preserve, and all the contents may not be preserved in good condition behind him. Therefore, although "Zhu Yangce" has five volumes, each of them is written independently and read. If you can practice all of them, you will naturally reach the state of Great Perfection, but if you only read one or two of them, your skills will not be incomplete, at most, the power and effectiveness will be weakened.
Therefore, in this battle, Shen Qiao also had the intention of using Kunxie to test the results of his multi-day cultivation. When a person is sparring on weekdays, he will never be able to exert his ultimate ability. Only when faced with a real life-and-death moment, can all potential be completely possible. It exploded out and lifted it to a new level.
Martial arts are like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. Otherwise, Qi Fengge Hulu Gu and others would not have to give up their respected status and decades of profound skills, but chose an advanced path that is likely to die.
At this time, the situation was extremely dangerous for Shen Qiao, the sword qi was almost completely suppressed by the sword qi, and the dantian's true qi was almost exhausted. Seeing that he was about to lose the match, Kun Xie slashed with a knife, and suddenly a frightening True Qi burst out. The sword intent turned into a net of heaven and earth, and surrounded Shen Qiao from all directions. The momentum was like a rainbow. Birds are extinct!
This is the ninth blade Qi that Kun Xie is proud of!
Being in it, apart from hard resistance, I could hardly imagine any way to break such a tyrannical sword qi. Kun Xie was worthy of being a disciple of Hulu Gu. With this sword alone, there were very few people in the world who could resist.
He was in mid-air, and the body of the blade was filled with 100% of the internal force, and he swung down on Shen Qiao's head.
Fifteen opened his eyes wide, staring at the two people on the opposite side of the sky, even forgetting to breathe.
He hoped that Shen Qiao could win more than anyone else, but even someone like him who had just started martial arts could see that Shen Qiao was in a disadvantageous position.
The sky above is ten thousand miles clear, and the abyss is ten thousand feet below. One day and one place, all rely on these dozens of feet of cliffs that are only for foothold. At this moment, it is too close to escape even with light effort. What should I do to resist? Live the opponent's full blow
Zhao Chiying frowned, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to cover Shifu, not wanting him to see his master's blood splattered on the spot.
Fifteen has lost a master and can no longer bear the blow of losing another relative.
She regretted it a lot in her heart. She should have come forward in this battle. She had known that, she should not have agreed to Shen Qiao anyway. She thought that Shen Qiao's attitude was firm and that she had the trump card to deal with Kunxie, but she never expected it. The other party is really fighting for their lives, so dangerous!
The knife Qi was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to the peak of the eyebrows, but Shen Qiao's breathing slowed down.
Prophet things, and then know me, and then forget me, and I forget both things, and I am not surprised.
The mountains and rivers and the sad sword turned into a white sword light, and in the sword light, Shen Qiao's figure was no longer there.
The inevitable arc of Kun Xie's mouth suddenly froze.
The sword qi couldn't drop another half an inch!
Shen Qiao's sword pierced through his sword energy and stabbed directly into his chest.
wrong!
Kun Xie turned around abruptly, and the Liusheng Sabre in his hand also slashed horizontally. Shen Qiao really appeared behind him, and the white sword intent turned vertically and horizontally, which actually suppressed his sword qi.
This is impossible!
This thought flashed through Kun Xie's mind. He didn't have time to think about it. Taking advantage of the situation, he instantly raised more than ten feet, turned around and slashed towards the stone wall behind him. In an instant, the rock collapsed with a loud bang, and the large and small stones fell to the bottom one after another, and flew upward again. Fall directly on the cliff at the highest point.
His eyes swept down, but as the boulders fell, the opponent disappeared, and at the same time, the alarm bell rang in his heart!
Kun Xie turned around and slashed again.
But the knife did not land on the enemy, instead, a sharp pain came from his back. The opponent was even faster than him, and he clearly sensed his every move.
It's impossible, it's impossible!
Just now, he thought that Shen Qiao had cultivated sword intent, but this is clearly not sword intent!
Knowing others and knowing yourself, the mind is connected, where the sword is, where the Tao is, a little bit of consonance, the mind of the fairy bone and Buddha.
Kenshin!
This is clearly a sword heart!
Shen Qiao actually realized Jian Xin!
After discovering this terrifying fact, Kun Xie flew forward as if he was dying, the stinging pain behind him was like a shadow and never stopped, as if a thread was firmly pulling, and he was a puppet at the end of the thread, and he could not escape the other side no matter what. control.
This feeling is really bad. Kunxie felt that he was not so terrible when he was chased and killed by Yan Wushi last time, because Yan Wushi had no intention to kill him at that time, just to test his martial arts, Kunxie also understood this. A little bit, so I didn't do my best, but this time is different, I have the intention to kill Shen Qiao, and Shen Qiao can naturally kill himself.
They did their best to each other, and naturally there was no luck.
Given time, this person will be a great enemy!
But it is too far away for Kunxie in the future, and what needs to be done most now is to escape this catastrophe first.
He couldn't help shouting: "I admit defeat! I lost! Don't kill me!"
The tingling feeling is still there, but it seems to have eased a lot in an instant.
Kun Xie didn't dare to be careless, and a series of words came out immediately: "I have something to tell you! It has something to do with Yan Wushi! He insulted you lightly, and now his death is approaching, don't you want to kill him yourself!"
The sword light swept through his hair and nailed it into the tree trunk in front of him, and the latter broke in two in an instant.
Kun Xie felt a tingling pain in his ears and cheeks, which must have been caused by the passing of the sword light, but if he hadn't said those words just now, it would definitely not be the tree that was cut off now.
He stopped when exhausted, turned and leaned against the stone wall behind him, ignoring wiping off the blood, leaning on the ground with a knife, panting like a cow, he could almost hear his own heartbeat.
"I lost, you won!"
He never imagined that Shen Qiao would become a swordsman, but at this moment he only felt that he had escaped from death, full of lingering fears.
He also knew that for a person like Shen Qiao, who was abiding by martial virtues, once he admitted defeat, the other party would never pursue him and fall into the trap.
Change to Qifeng Pavilion or Hulu Estimation, the same will be done.
Kun Xie: "Have you heard of the Panlong Club?"
Shen Qiao didn't speak, obviously waiting for him to continue.
Kun Xie took a breath: "Tuyuhun Wangcheng Fucheng City, there is a grand event on the ninth day of September called the Panlong Festival. Every year, merchants from all over the world gather, and there are always rare treasures that come out, and those with high prices will get them. It is said that there is one thing this year, which is Yan Wushi's mother's relic."
Shen Qiao frowned slightly.
Kun Xie seemed to sense his doubts, and said: "My brother said that Yan Wushi's old surname is Xie, and it is said that he is from the Xie family of Chen County."
This family started in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. At that time, Wang Furniture was the top clan in the world. The most famous person among them was Xie An. The times have changed, and the romance has disappeared. Today, the Xie family has gradually declined, but the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse. The family in the southeast area still has a reputation that cannot be underestimated.
And this kind of fame has nothing to do with the rivers and lakes, it is purely on the Shilin and the court.
However, Shen Qiao thought to a deeper level: "This matter must be extremely secret. You have been in the grassland outside the Great Wall for a long time and have nothing to do with the Central Plains. How can you find out, unless... this news was told to you by someone else?"
Kun Xie said: "Yes, Yan Wushi has made many enemies, and everyone wants to kill them and then hurry up. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the city of Fucheng gathered together, and the five masters in the world surrounded and killed Yan Wushi. It's hard to fly, Yan Wushi is playing with you, you must be willing to go there and witness his death with your own eyes?"
Shen Qiao suddenly said: "I finally know."
Kun Xie: "Know what?"
Shen Qiao: "In all countries in the world, only the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the most likely to unify the world. Yuwenyong joins Chen and Qi, and it is like a broken bamboo, and the state of Qi is about to perish. As a result, the next target of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is either the Turks or the Chen Dynasty. The Huanyue Sect is Yuwen's Yong help, if you want to kill Yu Wenyong, you must kill Yan Wushi first, so you cooperate with Linchuan Academy in order to kill Yan Wushi, and Linchuan Academy has huge influence in the Southern Dynasty, so naturally it can help you investigate. To the origin of Yan Wushi's identity."
Up to now, Kun Xie no longer hides it: "It's roughly the same, but it's not the Linchuan Academy that helped us find out about Yan Wushi's background, but the Liuhe Gang. That night at Yun Temple, he directly destroyed Dou Yanshan's good deeds and destroyed "Zhu Yang Ce" in public, how could Dou Yanshan not hate him?"
Shen Qiao: "Then what about the Linchuan Academy, Ru Yan Kehui is dedicated to restoring the orthodoxy of the Han people, and can destroy Yan Wushi and break Yu Wenyong's big arm. The reason for the teacher's fight is to test the opponent's skills, and also to prepare for the siege on the ninth day of September."
Kun Xie: "Not bad."
Shen Qiao: "But Ruyan Kehui was also injured in that battle. It is impossible for him to attend the meeting on the ninth day of September. Besides Dou Yanshan and Duan Wenyang, who else?"
Kun Xie: "Your junior brother Yu Ai, the sect master of the Fajing Sect, Guangling San, and the former Northern Zhou national teacher Xueting Zen master."
The names he spat out were more shocking than the last.
However, when you think about it, it is indeed expected.
Since Yu Ai has cooperated with the Turks, Duan Wenyang has asked him this time, so he is naturally willing to help; the three demon sects already have hatred, and they killed Yan Wushi, the Huanyue sect has no leader, and the Hehuan sect has strife again. In this early stage, Guanglingsan would not stay out of it; and Zen Master Xueting, he was originally the national teacher of Yuwenhu, after Yuwenyong succeeded to the throne, he killed the Buddha and gave up the throne, and the status of Buddhism in Zhou Kingdom plummeted. Demon", Zen Master Xueting will also join this battle.
To a grandmaster-level master, five kills may sound disgraceful, but if you can get great benefits from it, who would refuse it
Shen Qiao was silent for a moment: "How do you know that Yan Wushi will definitely go, he may not know the wind in advance."
Kunxie: "My senior brother said that people like Yan Wushi, even if they know this is a game, will definitely go, because he believes too much in his ability and is too proud, and feels that even if he can't beat it, he will still go. You must be able to leave calmly, and it will be easy to break after just passing, isn't this what you people in the Central Plains like to say?"
Shen Qiao understood it completely, and he sighed: "Ru Yan Kehui fought against Yan Wushi, and deliberately brought out his flaws in martial arts. Guangling San is a man of the Demon Sect, and he must know how to successfully kill Yan Wushi, so this time You are bound to win, and you are sure of it."
Kunxie: "Yes, I know that you hate Yan Wushu for being a teacher. Even if you don't participate in this event in person, how can you not watch the excitement?"
However, when he was laughing at these words, he suddenly waved the Liusheng knife in his hand and slashed towards Shen Qiao!
He knew that Shen Qiao would definitely shake his mind for this news, and when his mind was shaken, his defenses were the most slack. This attack would definitely succeed!
This person will definitely become a confidant of himself and the Turks in the future, and he must not be allowed to live!
As early as when he conceded defeat, Kun Xie had already made up his mind. At this time, he took a knife and used his life's skill.
If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!
