Chapter 95 Seeing Through the Autumn Water (Additional Update for Monthly Ticket)
Cheng Xinzhan didn’t know what changes were taking place in the moon mirror, and he didn’t know how many old acquaintances there were in Peacock City. He calmly swung his sword one after another, climbing up one level after another.
It wasn't until he blocked a certain time that he realized that there was no sword behind him.
Looking at the wide and bright jade platform, he realized that he had already climbed onto the high platform, and there was no one here.
He stood there with his eyes closed and meditated, recalling every move he had just made.
He was relatively satisfied with his response most of the time, but there were some areas where he felt it was not good enough, and he was thinking about what to do next time he encountered someone.
It didn’t take long, and soon a second person came up.
That man is also a young man. The two looked at each other, and Cheng Xinzhan was the first to nod in greeting.
The man also nodded and smiled, and said: "Laoshan Xue Lixing, fellow Taoist, you are polite.
Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised, he thought he would be a disciple of the Hengshan Sword Sect. "Sanqing Mountain is full of sincerity and Taoist friends are polite. ”
The moon mirror not only reflected their figures, but also broadcast their conversations.
Everyone knew their names.
After the two exchanged names, the third, fourth, and tenth people came up.
However, more people came up from behind, but they no longer announced their names to each other. Instead, the hostility gradually increased.
The owner of Huanzhu Tower had almost finished seeing the people, so he cast the spell again, and those who were struggling on the steps and had not passed halfway were all sent back to Peacock City.
At the same time, the Jade Yao Platform also began to divide, one into two, two into four, and four into eight. The people on the platform were also assigned to different Jade Yao Platforms. In the end, there were a total of forty-eight Jade Yao Platforms in the void, ninety-six A swordsman with a body sword.
The Yingyue Mirror revealed the forty-eight pairs of swordsmen one by one, but Cheng Xinzhan and his opponent occupied nearly a third of the space of the Yingyue Mirror.
Cheng Xinzhan’s opponent looked older than him, about thirty years old. This man had been paying attention to the Yingyue Mirror. At this time, he found that the battlefield scene he was on actually occupied the Yingyue Mirror. A little less than half of it, and at the top, a look of joy could not help but appear on his face.
At this time, the voice of the owner of Huanzhu Tower rang in everyone's ears,
"Each of us fights against the enemy. We can only use swords, not other magic weapons. Talisman formulas cannot be used. Click on Until then, don’t hurt anyone’s life, let’s start now.”
Cheng Xinzhan moved when he heard the sound, but saw that his opponent was still looking at the moon mirror, so he had to stop his movements and said, "Fellow Taoist?"
The man seemed to be waking up from a dream, and he saw him reluctantly taking it back. Looking at it, he suddenly straightened his clothes and crown, and said politely : "Fellow Taoist, we are fighting swords for the sake of learning and progress, not as life and death enemies. We should inform our names before the sword fight."
Cheng Xinzhan felt polite after hearing this, so he said: "Fellow Taoist, that's polite. , Pindao Sanqingshan Cheng Xinzhan "
The man was startled after hearing this. This young man turned out to be from Sanqingshan. However, he thought that he was now the center of attention, so naturally he could not be timid. He raised his sword in front of his chest, made a posture, and said in a measured tone:
< br>"My fellow Taoist is very polite, but I am a poor Taoist from Fujian. , his common surname is Liu, his Taoist name is Yuwei. He studied in Xijiao Peak of Shiniu Mountain and regarded Wuyi Mountain as his ancestral court. He practiced the inner alchemy way at the age of fifteen. Now he has been eleven or six years old. He has achieved a small level of success and has a long sword in his hand. I melted the sunken iron from the bottom of the sea and the red gold from the top of the mountain and named it "Jingshan". Please enlighten me. ”
"Please enlighten me."
Cheng Xinzhan stepped on his foot and transformed into a breeze. He disappeared for a moment. When he approached, he appeared first and stabbed directly in the face, leading him to block.
Huh?
The young Taoist priest felt the force coming back from the sword, and was a little surprised. The sword that he blocked could not affect his elbow when it hit the "Autumn Water", let alone his shoulder and body. At most, it only caused some damage to his wrist. The transformation even made him feel worse than the sword turned into by the moonlight when he climbed the steps.
Liu Yuwei was suddenly very panicked. Most of his strength had been used up just now. The strength of the sword at this time was not as good as when he first climbed the stairs. However, there should not be any loss. ? Why is the young man in front of me so powerful and heavy when he draws his sword?
He thought it was because the opponent was charging towards him with all his strength, so he decided not to passively defend, so he immediately turned his defense into an attack and thrust his sword towards him.
Cheng Xinzhan looked at the fluttering sword, grasped the "Autumn Water" tightly, and leaned his upper body back. When the sword was empty and the power was exhausted, he swung the "Autumn Water" sword spine sideways to hit the stab. On the sword, the sword whined and was swung away. While Liu Yuwei's middle door was wide open, his body was carried away by the sword in his hand. He immediately stepped forward, and the sword came out of the hole like a green snake, and it was instantly placed on the man's neck. .
“Accepted.”
He said.
That Liu Yuwei was very surprised. He actually had time to glance at the moon mirror at this time, and saw that his posture with a sword on his neck was clearly reflected on the mirror. He couldn't help but feel anxious, and just wanted to say What, the body disappeared on the jade platform and also disappeared in the mirror.
But soon, another person appeared opposite Cheng Xinzhan.
People in the city and building can see it clearly. Whenever two people defeat their opponents, the two losers will be sent back to Peacock City, and the two winners will be put together. On the stage, there will be one less picture in the moon mirror, and the other pictures will become larger.
This time, the person standing in front of Cheng Xinzhan was a man of similar age, which also meant that he had won once in a very short period of time.
But it should not be as fast as Cheng Xinzhan, because this person attacked as soon as he came up. If Liu Yuwei was like this just now, then Cheng Xinzhan's time would be several times faster.
This man also stabbed straight with his hand. Cheng Xinzhan lowered his body and raised his hand to lift the sword to attack, instead of defending.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound.
"Qiu Shui" swallowed a lot of gold essence, and the sword's toughness was already extraordinary. The man's sword force was broken, and he used the sword to move downwards. Cheng Xinzhan blocked it with his sword, and then stood up suddenly, The force came from the toes, and he swung the sword with his hand, throwing the sword out of the sword frame, and the tip of the sword went straight to the opponent's throat.
The man leaned up to avoid it, drew a big circle behind his head with the long sword in his hand, then leaned forward and struck Cheng Xinzhan from the left front.
But he didn't care, he took a step forward to the left, pointed the sword downwards, and pointed it towards the man's heavenly spirit. The man had no choice but to put away the sword, pulled the sword back from his left front, turned around and struck down.
"Qiu Shui" was struck down, and the tip of the sword almost hit the ground. Cheng Xinzhan bent down with his right leg and retracted the sword. The man immediately attacked. He retracted his left foot, twisted around, and made a running motion.
Seeing this, the man stepped forward and stabbed his vest.
At this time, Cheng Xinzhan jumped up with his right foot, and his whole body was almost jumping. Using the tip of his left toe as a point, his whole body turned back, dodging the sword in the back and at the same time pressing against the sword in front of him. The sword was raised casually again, and a bit of cold light shot from top to bottom.
Chopped off a strand of the man's hair.
The man didn't realize it and wanted to lift the sword up again, but the next moment, he disappeared on the jade platform.
Immediately afterwards, another person appeared on the jade platform.
This time it was another agile one. When he saw Cheng Xinzhan, he said, "You are very powerful. Have you already won once?"
"I have won twice."
He said with a smile, raised his sword and went to attack.
……
The Jade Yaotai has changed from one to multiple, and now it is slowly decreasing from the multiple, but the one that attracts the most attention is still there.
Until the end, there was only one Jade Yao Platform left in the void, and only one picture left in the Moon Mirror. This picture was somewhat familiar to those watching the battle.
Cheng Xinzhan looked familiar and couldn't help but smile, "Fellow Daoist Xue."
The man also smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Cheng."
It turned out to be the first two A person on stage.
It was already the time of the final decisive battle, but Cheng Xinzhan began to write. He thought of his first opponent, Liu Yuwei. He seemed to have remembered something, and he asked,
"Xue Daoyou, right now. The two of us can Allow me to tell the people on this floor about my sword?”
Xue Lixing smiled and nodded, “Fellow Taoist, please”
He held the sword upside down in his left hand. , holding the sword across his chest, flicking the sword with his right hand. "Zheng!"
The long sword roared.
"This sword of mine is my first sword. It was given by an elder from the same sect."
He said leisurely.
The people on the first floor of the city listened quietly.
“This elder has been obsessed with swords all his life, but he has been ashamed of them all his life.”
Xue Lixing also listened carefully and was a little puzzled when he heard the words.
“This elder is madly in love with swords. After starting to practice, he devoted his body and mind to the practice of swordsmanship, but neglected to practice Qi, so that he was trapped in one situation for his whole life. After reacting, the elder Regret, unwillingness, but powerlessness. In the following years, various emotions bit his mind, but the years always It will erase those strong emotions. By the time he is chicken-skinned and white-haired, the elder has already looked down on life and death, fame and wealth. Only one emotion has never faded, but has become more and more unforgettable.
"That is the guilt for this sword. , he thought it was his own mediocrity that kept this radiant sword in the dark room.
“Later, he passed this sword to me, hoping that I could make this sword famous, and he also told me to pay equal attention to morality and weapon, and not to follow his old path.
“ I took note of the elders' advice to pay equal attention to the Tao and the weapon, but it was difficult for me to become famous for this sword. I was only a beginner in the way of swordsmanship. I'm very lucky tonight. I can lend you back the treasure land owned by the Lord of Pearl Tower and the Lord of Peacock City. I also want to thank Brother Xue Dao for waiting for me to tell you the name of this sword.
"The name of the sword is "Autumn Water". "
After he finished speaking, he raised his sword backwards and saluted in the direction of the city and tower, and then saluted Xue Lixing.
Xue Lixing looked solemn and returned the salute with his sword.
“We pay equal attention to both the weapon and the way, and those of us who practice swordsmanship should always keep this in mind. ”
The voice of the owner of Huanzhu Tower echoed above everyone’s heads.
All the swordsmen in the city said so.
Xue Lixing also said with a smile at this time, "Then let me say something in return, otherwise my sword will be unhappy. I am a swordsmith, and I made my sword. The name of the first sword is "Chu Lu". "
The two smiled at each other and attacked each other with swords.
The two disappeared on the stage at the same time.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!”
There was a sound of gold and iron intersecting, and sparks burst out in the void. After being magnified by the moon mirror, they looked like huge fireworks, complementing the fireworks above Peacock City.
Seeing this, the owner of Huanzhu Tower smiled and said, "These two fighting swords finally look like split swords."
With a thought in his mind, the picture on the moon mirror The change actually revealed two invisible people who were using their body skills, and everyone could see clearly.
At this moment, Cheng Xinzhan was lowering his body and rushing forward, stepping on his feet continuously. The spiritual light flickered and flickered, stabbing Xue Lixing's chest and abdomen. At the same time, a wind and rain enveloped him, and the strong wind followed his steps and blew towards Xue Lixing. , the heavy rain follows the force of the sword, and every drop is like a sword. Although it is water, it is glowing with sharp silver light, and the "autumn water" seems to have turned into a puddle of water, melting into the heavy rain, making it People can't see clearly.
The latter is like a spiritual snake meandering in the rain. He picks up his sword to block every move, and is able to avoid every drop of rain. However, the wind is too strong and the rain is too strong. , there were too many changes, and the spirit snake could only dodge and retreat. The sword tips of the two changed frequently, dancing into two sword flowers, which could not be seen clearly even in the moon mirror.
After taking more than ten steps back, Xue Lixing suddenly stopped. The previous steps back seemed to be to gain momentum. The long sword drew a circle in front of him, blocking all the wind and rain, and then suddenly sent it forward. This sword was like The river breaks its banks, sudden but unstoppable.
“What a sword!”
Cheng Xinzhan laughed loudly, but with the force of the wind and rain, he did not avoid the counterattack and took a few steps. The heavy rain gathered in the sky and turned into a big river, which was also a big river. A straight thrust.
Two rivers are facing each other, and the sword tips are touching.
The crisp sound was accompanied by the air wave, which swayed in all directions with the sword tip as the center. The two of them were carried back ten steps by the air wave, and their arms were a little numb.
"Although it is a bit fancy, in the final analysis it is still a sword for ordinary people, and it is difficult to reach the level of elegance."
At this time, on the eaves of Peacock City, a young man who looked the youngest said.
But after hearing this, Li Yingqiong remained silent and did not respond. Perhaps he recalled the scene in that valley where the man in the moon mirror shattered the Shushan Flying Sword with his sword.
"Jing Rui, you are right, as long as you can prevent him from getting close, can you guarantee it?"
The bearded man said, "Or you Have you already established the soul? Can you wield a sword with your mind faster than with your physical body? Do you think your master "Chisu" has reached the stage where the sword can change at will? I don't think so. What you rely on to control the sword now is the spirituality of the sword, not telekinesis. If "Chisu" wasn't spiritually strong, I think you might as well use your feet to control the sword. ”
The man said unceremoniously.
“If you can’t guarantee not to let anyone with a physical sword get close to you, and you can’t guarantee that wielding a sword with thoughts is faster than holding a sword, then don’t say that again, it will only make people laugh, the sword is a murder weapon, It’s not embroidery.”
“Yes, Master Li.”
The young man who just spoke blushed and lowered his head.
Looking at the sword fighting arena again, after more than a dozen moves, Xue Lixing stepped forward again, but this time as his steps changed, his figure actually divided into two parts and then into four parts. In just the blink of an eye, they turned into thirty-two people and attacked. They seemed to be still dividing, like ghosts.
Cheng Xinzhan's eyes lit up and he stepped forward, but his steps were like thunder. At first he was alone, but just like the branches of a tree when thunder struck down, his figure also divided into one after another, But it's not like Xue Lixing's split in half, but completely random. With just a flash of lightning, they become a group of people.
This is the sword posture and footwork he realized when he was collecting thunder and watching the thunder falling and splitting into electric light.
The people in the city and building were surprised to find that the Yuyao stage, which was empty just now, was suddenly filled with people.
When the two opposing groups came into contact and felt the strength of the sword, Cheng Xinzhan immediately knew who the real Xue Lixing was.
But Xue Lixing was surprised to find that the strength of the different Cheng Xinzhan's swords seemed to be the same, much worse than before, and it was impossible to know who was the real one.
However, he didn't know that Cheng Xinzhan's sword power was not as simple as a cover-up.
Just after he determined Xue Lixing's identity, all Cheng Xinzhan disappeared. There was only a clear belt of thunder light pointing from his starting position to the only remaining figure, and the rest The branches of the light path gradually dimmed and seemed to converge on the sword in his hand, causing his sword to be as bright and as fast as the electric light. After the sword was thrust out, the tip of the sword was fixed on Xue Lixing's chest.
"What kind of swordsmanship are you doing?"
Xue Lixing asked as his eyes were illuminated by the light of the sword.
“I call him the Thunder Splitting Light Sword Technique, which means to focus on the virtual and the real, scattering first and then rejoining.”
"What a good swordsmanship. In comparison, my Hundred Ghost Shadow Swordsmanship is too weak and scattered."
Xue Lixing had some regrets on his face.
"It doesn't matter, I teach this method to fellow Taoists, and you and I will discuss it again. I feel that there are still many shortcomings."
Cheng Xinzhan said with a smile, it is wonderful to meet such a person Fellow Jian, he was also very satisfied.
After the thunder light dispersed, Xue Lixing’s eyes were still bright, and he said loudly, “Okay!”
