Chapter 44: Challenging all living beings with the sword, winning consecutive battles (1)
The Swordsmanship Headquarters has been established for many years, and has even maintained a good relationship with the Elders Council of the Evernight City and the City Patrol Department. Their mutual cooperation shows that they have their own existence. of value, the power vacancy it is needed to fill.
For example, there are many sword halls, large and small, in the Evernight City. Without it to mediate and reconcile conflicts, the competition between these sword halls for disciples would be very troublesome for three days, a small fight, and a fight every five days.
Therefore, the swordsmanship hall has its own status. As the teacher of the swordsmanship hall, Chen Tengjiao puts down his dignity and personally goes to the homes of seniors to invite them. In order to maintain the authority of the swordsmanship hall, many seniors will give him face.
Especially those monks who still have hope of reaching the foundation-building realm hope to connect with the great elder Chen Tianxiong through Chen Tengjiao and get guidance to reach the foundation-building realm.
Therefore, even though the content of Chen Tengjiao's invitation was a bit ugly, many seniors from the city that never sleeps still accepted the invitation.
In addition to these old seniors, Chen Tengjiao also has many wings behind him, such as local forces such as Daodao Building, Jinhong Sword Hall, and Chiri Sword Hall.
Why did they win the first place in the sword competition? The stunning shooting star from the sky and the tragic situation of Liu Rusong, the owner of Xie Feng Building, made them dare not act rashly. Even if their interests were affected, they could only Smashed teeth and swallowed blood.
But now that Chen Tengjiao and the seniors are at the front, they are brave again. Although they don't dare to rush to the front, there is no problem in following behind and beating drums to build momentum.
On the seventh day that Wenjianzhai started teaching, the Jianzhan dojo was already filled with disciples.
The young Taoist in a worn Taoist robe sat at the top and talked about his understanding of swordsmanship:
“The way of swordsmanship is the most powerful sword intention in my heart. When I was young, I traveled around the world, and I once I heard that in the far west, there are barbarians who love skiing and soaring eagles. Although they died nine times without regrets, they often find it difficult to understand. Sliding down the river from the heights of the snow-capped mountains on a wooden board, you will experience various thrills in the process until you reach the bottom. Eagle Flying is about leaping off the cliff with a tough special cloth on your body, feeling like an eagle flying, and experiencing the ultimate feeling of freedom."
Hearing Lu Cheng's words, many of the disciples below looked at each other, unable to understand. How could their parents dare to damage their bodies so easily?
"Master, what's the point of skiing and flying eagles? If you want to exercise your body, martial arts, or even running, which one is better than these?"
Xie Yan, who was sitting at the front, raised his hand to ask a question and asked directly after receiving Lu Cheng's permission.
“So I say, it is difficult for us Easterners to understand, how can the noble beings of heaven be so easily put into danger and waste their lives?”
“But this is what I am today. They call this fierce sword power... they call it bravery. It’s a game for the brave.”
“I, a man from the East, abide by the Way of Heaven, obey the teachings of etiquette, and respect the sages. I, the Taoist master, have ascended to the highest level. I am a Qi-training technique. The platform begins with tired soil; the journey of a thousand miles begins with perseverance. Self-preservation, perseverance, and adhering to this way, even a foolish person can achieve something in this life. If you are a wise and courageous person, you can use this to make yourself soar to the sky and realize the Tao."
"The perseverance of the East is suitable for survival and suitable for most qualifications Mediocre people can also be of infinite benefit to those with superior qualifications. The bravery of the West... If given the opportunity, even a foolish person can rise to the sky, but many people with superior qualifications die unexpectedly due to chance. , it’s a pity.”
"That's a bit far. Let's talk about the way of swordsmanship. The first priority of swordsmanship is the sword intention in the heart, and the second priority is the magic power. The deeper the magic power, the stronger the sword power, the faster the sword speed, and the more agile the charioteer. This is the right way. But I Wenjianzhai's sword The technique is very strange and strange, using the sword to guide the qi."
Righteous sword cultivation uses qi to control the sword, and uses the spirit to guide the sword. It seems that the sword technique is actually the way to refine the god and control the qi. The sword and qi are combined. The accumulation of bitter enlightenment will lead to infinite power.
But no matter how good the method is, it cannot cure all diseases. If you practice this righteous method in southern Xinjiang, unless someone from a family like Xie Yan has the opportunity to practice it, the remaining people will not be able to cure it. Chengdu must die.
So Lu Chenggao made it clear from the beginning when he took the throne that what Lun Jian Zhai taught was the art of swordsmanship.
Strive to allow disciples with a certain foundation to study for three years to be able to protect themselves in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. After nine years of study, they can participate in hunting monsters and have an advantage in sword fights with others.
With Lu Cheng's concise explanation, the disciples below understood clearly, and many of them had hope in their eyes.
Most people here learn swordsmanship not to pursue the great path.
For them, this is a craft. They can use it to exchange for a better life in the future. In the future, they can marry beautiful wives and concubines and enjoy a life of wealth and splendor.
At least for now, these are their goals in life. There is nothing wrong with this. Taoism should be demonstrated step by step.
When Lu Cheng was preaching and teaching today, he noticed a female disciple below. There were many female disciples in Wenjian Zhai, but there was no one as bright and beautiful as this little girl. Plus, The confident and confident temperament in her body made people know that this person was not a daughter from an ordinary family.
Of course Lu Cheng didn't have any thoughts, but such an outstanding person was like a pearl in the sand among the crowd. Even if he didn't pay attention, it was impossible not to notice it.
"Okay, today's lecture is here for the time being. There are guests outside. He Guo, Xie Yan, you go outside to welcome the evil guests."
"As you command, Master Lin. "
He Guo and Xie Yan, who were sitting at the front, heard this and looked at each other. They roughly guessed what was going on and stood up to greet them outside the gate.
Yu Liang, who was extremely astute, began to direct the new disciples to line up on the left and right.
When Chen Tengjiao came with a group of people behind him, he saw He Guo and Xie Yan standing on both sides of the door. Many disciples of Wenjianzhai were sitting on the left and right sides of the hall. They all looked at this place, mixed with hostility. The gaze naturally creates a pressure.
Of course people like Chen Tengjiao are incapable of feeling this level of pressure, but in the middle of the hall of Wenjianzhai Sword Hall, the young Taoist is sitting high on him, and his whole body is mixed with the aura of the entire sword hall. , the pressure came, and the pressure suddenly increased by more than a hundred times.
“Is this feeling the aura of that young man?”
“It’s like being on an ancient battlefield. How old is he... Could he be someone who has taken the Zhuyan Pill? Old monster? "
Some of the old men following Chen Tengjiao stared at him on the spot.
They looked at each other, and then walked and stood beside Chen Tengjiao, which made Chen Tengjiao, who was speechless, feel a little better.
"Lin Lie, you broke the rules of the city that never sleeps by opening the sword hall privately. Now you take off the plaque of Wenjianzhai and come with us to the main swordsmanship hall. Everything will be fine."
"Lin is still like that. In a word, if the swordsmanship hall has relevant legal documents, please bring them out. If a group of country squire bullies are bullying the market, forgive Lin for not being willing to join in."
At this time, many people outside Wenjianzhai had noticed. here.
Wenjianzhai occupies the sword hall of the original Xie Feng Building. The Great Sword Hall is located in a downtown area with high flow of people.
Chen Tengjiao led five seniors from the city, followed by a group of masters and disciples from various sword halls. His strong momentum would naturally attract the attention of many people.
There were a lot of lively people. As time went by, people gathered, and Wenjianzhai was a large venue, and many people gradually squeezed in from the door.
Wenwenlou and the disciples who followed the Red Sun Sword Hall did not chase them away. In their opinion, it is a good thing for more people to see the great swordsman of Wenjianzhai defeated. It can effectively combat the reputation of this famous sword hall.
“Young people don’t know the heights of the world. After practicing one or two swordsmanship, they have to challenge the existing rules. But you don’t know that if the rules of the main hall are broken, this city that never sleeps will be in chaos again, and many people will die.”
A middle-aged and elderly Taoist wearing a blue and white cloth robe and a Taoist crown. Three strands of long white beard were fluttering in the wind, looking like a god. He took the lead to stand up from behind Chen Tengjiao, his right hand quickly sketched in the void in front of him, drawing the vitality of heaven and earth to it.
"Taoist Huohe, this is Taoist Huohe, the owner of Helou!"
"I didn't expect him to come too. This matter is quite a big deal."
With the appearance of Taoist , there were such voices of people talking and whispering around. Obviously, this veteran has quite a reputation.
"Fa Cultivator, are you here to join in the fun?"
As soon as Lu Cheng finished speaking, he saw layers of red mist overlapping in front of him, clouds rolling in and impacting, and flames appearing out of thin air. , and finally transformed into dozens or hundreds of sacred red flamingoes as big as calves and as small as oriole.
Circles of flame aura rippled around their bodies, they danced gracefully, spread their wings and roared, as if they were alive, and then they flew towards the landing city one after another.
These red flamingos have a good appearance. If one is shot away, another one will be born in the flame cloud. They will disperse and gather in endlessly, and they will faintly gather into formations. This set of spells can be used in the city that never sleeps. It can be said to have a high reputation. It was created by the Taoist Fire Crane. It is very powerful and can control one's heart. Even his Taoist name comes from this method.
"Unsheath."
Lu Cheng sat on the spot, pointed his sword, clang, clang, the two flying swords of Chisong and Chiyan that were originally placed aside turned into rainbows. He took out his sheath and attacked the astonishing formation of flamingos in front of him.
The predecessor, Lu Cheng, was quite talented in magic, and now he has been completely inherited and integrated into his own system by Lu Cheng.
Coupled with the fact that he had acquired many mana movement methods during this period, Lu Cheng gained some unique insights.
The Royal Flying Sword absorbs the power of heaven and earth, transforms the yin and yang and the five elements of law into the sword, and swings out a sword to evolve all kinds of laws. Of course, this direction is just a rough idea now, to be closer to the path of future cultivation.
The ancestor of Chi Shenzi of Huoyun Cave Mansion may not be qualified to obtain the foundation building skills of "Chiji Heart Technique" and "Sword Yuanlu" in the future due to his previous appearance. , and does not exactly match itself.
Lu Cheng now covets Ranmu Mountain's "Five Prefectures Forging Yuan Jue" and "Five Elements Alchemy Book", so he naturally wants to study in this direction. The accumulation of this kind of foundation is never too much.
I saw the red pine flying sword turning in the void, absorbing the wood element energy from the heaven and earth energy and breaking into the formation of flaming cranes. Under the attack of a large number of flaming cranes, the entire flying sword body quickly burned and trembled slightly.
But the next moment, the Red Flame Flying Sword followed closely behind, absorbing all the superimposed fire power on the Red Pine Flying Sword into itself.
There is even a hidden movement of the heaven-transforming magic, but unless you are a master of foundation building in this way, it is almost impossible to see this hidden change.
Boom.
Use fire to fight fire, use fire to control fire, and use fire to defeat fire.
Fire can burn everything, but can flame also burn fire? Perhaps, but it is obviously not a realm that these monks present can currently enter.
Fighting fire with fire, Huohe Taoist's spell went out of control for a moment, and the flames of the fire array swelled. Just as the old Taoist hurriedly performed the magic control technique, from the swollen flames, a dim yellow light flashed. The shot shot out and hit the old Taoist priest's body. He felt as if he was being stabbed by electricity, his whole body was shaking, and he fell straight down.
"Taoist Fire Crane!"
"Taoist Fire Crane?"
Chen Tengjiao's side was in a commotion, those feeding pills, those feeding in mana After inputting mana, luckily Lu Cheng had no intention of killing anyone, and the last sword energy turned from sharp to dull. It didn't take long for Taoist Huohe to wake up slowly.
It was just at this time that the old Taoist priest happened to hear the young man opposite teaching his disciples:
"Do you see? The body of the cultivator is fragile. In many cases, there is no need to bother with deciphering their spells. One sword can behead all the spells. "Broken."
"Disciple is taught."
He Guo, Xie Yan, and Yu Liang all felt that it made sense and nodded.
"You, you..."
Taoist Fire Crane also runs a Dharma Cultivation Center in the Nightless City. The Fire Crane Dharma has always been known for its offensive and defensive capabilities. Unless he is a disciple who has served him for many years, he is not allowed to teach it at all.
Now this method was broken by Lu Cheng's sword. When he woke up and heard such words again, he didn't even take a breath, he shivered and fainted again.
Seeing this scene, Lu Cheng also felt embarrassed and remained silent for a while.
"Lin Lie, you have gone too far to bully others. Do you dare to come down and compete with me in swordsmanship?"
At this moment, a majestic old man with gray hair and white eyebrows walked out of the crowd. , holding a golden sword diagonally in front of him.
This person is Bai Shiwo, the father of the current owner of the Jin Hong Sword Hall. He has been practicing in seclusion for these years, hoping to have an opportunity to break through to the realm of foundation building. He has the Jin Hong Feiyun Sword Technique, and he also made a lot of achievements in the Evernight City in his early years. of prestige.
"Master Bai, my Jin Hong Feiyun Sword Technique is sharp and agile. Although it is unlikely to be Lin Lie's opponent, using him will allow us to see the flaws in Lin Lie's sword technique. In this way , I will be more confident when the two murderers of the Jiao family take action."
Chen Tengjiao thought in his mind, and glanced at the two old men behind him who were wearing gray robes and holding iron staffs. He truly relies on.
“Since I have opened a sword hall, I naturally accept the challenge from my colleagues.”
Qiang.
The Chisong Flying Sword was returned to the scabbard. Lu Cheng stood up and held a flying red light in his hand. He walked step by step into the center of the dojo.
“Asking for advice.”
Master Bai, I don’t think there is anything commendable about challenging a young man at my age, not to mention that most of them will lose.
But in order to obtain the possible guidance from the great elder, he had no choice. Compared with the path, what is the momentary honor and disgrace?
Lu Cheng felt that the mana in his body was mixed, and even if he kept purifying the mana with sword intent, it would be difficult to build the Earth Sword Foundation.
But there are many monks like him in the Evernight City. They used elixirs to enhance their magic power when they were young, and they had no way to purify them. Not to mention the authentic foundation building, they couldn't even take the foundation building pill to build the foundation normally.
It is difficult to deal with the complex qi mechanisms in the body. We can only rely on the guidance of experts to point out the biggest problems and start purifying them, and then take the foundation-building pill to build the foundation.
It is the most basic foundation building, such as earth foundation building and heavenly foundation building. These have nothing to do with the vast majority of monks.
“I asked about the swordsmanship of Jianzhai. The sword moves are violently changed, and the sword is used to guide the energy and increase the sword energy. However, the changes in the sword moves will eventually be exhausted. It is okay to use it to deal with monsters. If What about facing monks who are already familiar with the changes in our sword moves? "
At this moment, Master Bai is already fighting with Lu Cheng.
His Jinhong Feiyun Sword Technique was indeed sharp and agile. When he used it with all his strength at this moment, it seemed like wind and residual clouds, forming a wind column to attack the young Taoist in front of him.
It's just like a pillar thrown into the forest by the wind, it's completely difficult to break into.
This young Taoist wields the flying sword as if guarding it in the deep valley of a deep forest. He even teaches the principles of swordsmanship to his disciples while wielding the sword.
The words just now were spoken by Lu Cheng while he was parrying and neutralizing Master Bai's sword attack. He was calm and relaxed, without any pressure.
These people have already knocked on the door, and Lu Cheng doesn't feel that he needs to save face for them.
On the contrary, he wanted to take the opportunity to teach his disciples something more. He would have to leave here sooner or later, so he could not let these apprentices pay such high tuition fees in vain.
Lu Cheng collects spiritual stones very hard, but what he teaches is also a true religion.
“They can be familiar with our sword moves, and we can also break their methods. The spells and swordsmanship passed down by each sect, no matter how good they are, must have ways to break them. There may be unbreakable techniques in the world, but I have never encountered them.”
Because of Lu Cheng’s leisurely words, Bai Shiwo was already furious. In his eyes, he saw this. The young Taoist's behavior was simply humiliating.
But no matter how hard or fast the sword light strikes, it cannot break through the three-foot sword perimeter of the Taoist in front of him.
When he was the most angry and anxious, and the light of the sword was the fiercest.
Dang Dang Dang Dang!
The sword in the hand of the Taoist in front of me seemed to come alive. The sword's hilt, spine, blade, and tip all changed at will, blocking the sword rays struck by Bai Shiwo.
The entire offensive process was met with various moves and postures, and finally the red flame flying sword flew with sword light and landed diagonally across the side of the gray-haired and white-browed old man's neck.
“This is the crack of Jin Hong Feiyun Sword Technique.”
"Ah, poof"
When Master Bai heard this, he was finally so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. Ignoring the sword light slanting across his neck, he turned around and strode away.
Seeing this, Jin Zhengxian, the veteran swordsman of the Red Sun Sword Hall, was a little hesitant.
Looking at Master Bai's fate, I was not sure for a moment whether it was worth ruining my sword hall's job for the great elder's possible advice?
Although there are no sword techniques in this world that cannot be cracked, the people of the Evernight City will not send their children to study in a sword hall where the main sword techniques have been cracked. Today’s battle , Jinhong Sword Hall is doomed to be severely damaged, and may not even be able to recover for several years.
