Chapter 48: Challenging all living beings with swords, winning consecutive battles (5)
"Sister, sister! Master Wenjian is really amazing. Swordsman Master Chen Tengjiao, Jinhong Sword Master Bai and I need not say more. Even the two evil men of the Jiao family, who had a reputation for being unkind and unjust, were defeated by his sword together. "
A month later.
"Sister, sister! The 'Forty-nine Swords' taught by Master Lin is so exquisite. The Great Dao Fifty Days evolved into the Forty-Nine. Master Lin said that every move and style of this set of swordsmanship can be divided, reorganized, and evolved. After mastering other swordsmanship, you can understand the essence of swordsmanship after nine breaks and nine standings. From then on, you can change everything according to your heart, and everything will be unified!"
Three months later.
"Sister, sister! Master defeated the red-haired fierce ghost Li You with a sword, the old man with flying swords at the door, and Mrs. Sun of the Cursed Spirit Pavilion. When can I be like Master, test the world with swords, and be invincible!"
< br>Ever since her sister Lin Qingxue joined Wenjian Zhai, she has to praise her new swordsman to her sister Lin Qingyue every once in a while.
At the beginning of the year, Lin Qing only thought of her as a younger sister just for fun, and it would be fine as soon as the heat passed.
But unexpectedly, Lin Qingxue really fell in love with swordsmanship. Over the past six months, she began to practice hard day after day. Sometimes her hands were bleeding from the practice, and she still kept practicing hard after wrapping them in cotton cloth. , which made Lin Qingyue feel extremely distressed.
“Forget it, Xue’er, why do you have to suffer like this?”
"Is it bitter? Sister, I don't feel bitter. Master said that the sword is only safe if you hold it in your own hands. This sword is the cornerstone of all laws and regulations in the world!"
Speaking of these words As she spoke, Lin Qingxue had a fanatical look in her eyes.
Lin Qingyue looked at her sister almost strangely for a moment, but in the end she felt relieved.
In the blink of an eye, six months have passed. With the help of Chen Tengjiao of the Swordsmanship Hall, the people of Lucheng sat at home to meet the challenges of the seniors and celebrities from all over the city, and became famous for defeating the heroes with swords.
The reputation of Wenjianzhai is getting higher and higher day by day in this city that never sleeps.
Because Wenjianzhai only accepts two hundred disciples, Shu Xiu, who earned ten spiritual stones a month, was reduced to thirty or fifty yuan a month.
In other words, if the person who paid for the repair in front is willing to quit and give up his or her place, he can earn forty spiritual stones out of thin air.
But even so, there are very few people willing to quit.
Master Lin Zhai of Wenjian Zhai does not need you to serve for a few years. For more than ten years, he will really teach you swordsmanship after submitting it to Shu Xiu. This young Taoist is like a treasure house of swordsmanship. You can give you any guidance at will. Others point the way forward.
Of course, Master Lin himself said:
"What I'm teaching now is all about quick and easy magic swordsmanship, which is used to improve combat power. To truly practice swordsmanship, we still have to start with the intention in the heart and the energy in the chest. Being too obsessed with the changes in the sword moves itself is to ignore the basics and pursue the weak points. move.”
"What I taught today will actually have far-reaching consequences for the city that never sleeps."
Master Lin Zhai is a man of character. When he said this, others listened, and then continued Wuyang and Wuyang went to study.
The devil?
The devil is the Tao.
Are you telling us, those of us who raise yin and worms, about the dangers of cultivating demons?
Haha, at first glance, it seems that I usually eat too well. It would be good if ordinary people have a way to make progress, as well as the magic of swordsmanship.
Although Lu Cheng is only willing to accept two hundred disciples, if one disciple practices ten spiritual stones a month, two hundred people are worth two thousand, and six months is twelve thousand.
At the Liujin Ancient Artifact Workshop auction, one Foundation Establishment Pill only cost 32,000 spirit stones. It took a family of cultivators more than ten years to collect the money. Lu Cheng now has it in a little more than two years. The reason why he can make money is because he can't be taught and is unwilling to expand his enrollment.
At this time, Lu Cheng somewhat understood why Chen Tengjiao was targeting him. It was really a huge benefit.
But not everyone can make such a huge profit. If Lin Lie hadn't been in Lu Cheng, a swordsmanship master who opened a swordsmanship hall in the Evernight City and didn't go to the swordsmanship main hall to worship the mountain would have been amputated and wasted within two days. A whole body of cultivation.
After a while, it may rot in some smelly ditch.
The underlying operating logic of this world is ultimately violence.
The city that never sleeps, ten miles southwest.
Yi Sword Immortal Monkey Liu Baihong made an appointment to challenge Lin Lie, the master of Wenjian Zhai. He sent a greeting letter three days ago with all the courtesy, so Lu Cheng accepted the challenge.
This person is the senior among seniors in the Sword Cultivator of Evernight City, a famous master among famous people.
After defeating this person, there should be no more powerful swordsman in the Qi Lian Realm in the Evernight City.
Stone road, mountain forest.
Liu Baihong is a man wearing a green Taoist robe, with white hair but an appearance like a young man.
When Lu Cheng arrived, he slowly turned around:
"Master Laolin came here to keep the appointment despite his busy schedule."
"This junior Chen Tengjiao has also asked me to come here, but I have no intention of getting involved in this grudge. I only have the path in my heart."< br>
"So the fight between you and me today is not for grudges, but for seeking the Tao. I am very happy about it."
After saying this, the Taoist in green looked at Lu Cheng. There was no murderous or fighting intent in his eyes, only joy.
Liu Baihong was a poor boy, and it was difficult to seek enlightenment. He was born as a beggar, and he had no parents as long as he could remember. Fortunately, he could not starve to death in the city that never sleeps. He begged for a bite of food here and there, and grew up little by little. When he was ten years old, he was kidnapped by a gang of evil beggars who wanted to use the method of harvesting raw materials to create an animal fairy.
At that time, the nameless beggar, who was not yet named Liu Baihong, relied on his ruthlessness and luck to get a sharp knife at night and killed half of the beggars in the temple overnight while the evil beggars were sleeping.
When someone discovered this place the next day, there was blood flowing out when the door was opened.
With this ruthlessness, the unknown beggar was spotted by a killer organization, taken away and trained, and then Liu Baihong became what he is today.
Because the starting point is too low, many years are wasted.
Liu Baihong is over sixty years old today and is still at the ninth level of Qi training. Moreover, the vitality has begun to lose, and the certainty of success in foundation building is getting lower and lower.
"Good opponents are rare. Only with a good opponent can you make continuous progress and unleash your potential. Very good, you know."
The next moment, a sword light with a soft halo spread out. It has been stabbed in front of Lu Cheng.
Liu Baihong was a beggar and a killer. Although the killer organization he was born in was later destroyed by himself, that long period of time still left deep traces on him:
The sword takes a wrong turn, and the path of the sword is erratic.
Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and unsheathed his sword. Many monks who practiced sword techniques were unwilling to hold the sword in their hands, because the flying sword was strong and their own strength was weak, which would slow down the speed of the sword.
But Lu Cheng is different. His person and sword are integrated. The strength of the sword and the softness of the person are perfectly blended. The buzzing sound of the red sword blooms like a lotus. There is no smoke and smoke, blocking the flight of the Taoist priest in green. Sword, blocking all attacks of the opponent at the same time.
"Okay!"
With a low drink, the green-robed Taoist priest slid to the right with a smile on his face, his breath converged, and his whole person seemed to be indifferent, elusive, and attacked from the side again. come over.
Lu Cheng slid his steps to the left, his aura also restrained, and his whole person seemed to be indifferent, strange and unpredictable, and he attacked from the side again.
Looking down, the two people are like two misty phantoms, drawing a perfect circle, and then suddenly meeting each other.
Clang.
The two swords clashed, the tips of the two flying swords collided, the swords collided and impacted, and a storm arose.
Hoo ho ho ho.
The sword wind roared, the sound of the sword spread, and the ancient branches and leaves in the mountain forest fell one after another, as if even the heaven and earth were shaking.
Both sides have mysterious and sharp sword paths. After a brief trial, they will attack each other in perfect harmony.
Liu Baihong is known as the Yi Sword Immortal Ape. When the sword light he was controlling was bitten by Lu Cheng's red flame sword light, the two were entangled and swimming like dragons.
The white-haired swordsman in green clothes pointed their swords together and flew forward to attack in an instant.
Close combat requires the hands, eyes and heart of the person to be brave. Just this word of courage can often be worth ten years of hard work. Lu Cheng is the most skilled swordsman who has experienced countless sword fights. He can even cut off his own fear. Especially when he is guarded by a forty-nine-level heavenly weapon god. How can he be afraid of others in close combat?
Pointing together like swords, both sides attack.
Liu Baihong rushed to attack, but Lu Cheng flew back in the air.
The two flying swords were biting and entangled with each other at this time, both wanting to strangle the other, or return to the master's hand first to refill the mana, so they saw two light rainbows chasing each other, spreading the sword power and arousing The surrounding rocks and forests exploded.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Liu Baihong's own body skills are better than Lu Cheng's. Lu Cheng is used to following the sword and escaping from it. The so-called: "The Immortal Messenger" The sword is like fighting a dragon." This means that when the immortal wields the sword, it is like controlling a divine dragon. A person is riding on the dragon and flying all over the sky. It is the dragon that is flying, not the person.
But at this time, when faced with the situation where his flying sword is entangled by the opponent, only the immortal is left, the dragon is gone, and the movement skills have some disadvantages.
However, Liu Baihong discovered that when the sword palms of the two sides clashed with each other, his own sword power was often borrowed a little by his opponent. This was because his sword skills were not as refined as his opponent's, so although he had the advantage, he could not attack for a long time.
“I should grab the flying sword at this time!”
“No, it can’t be done. It is said that this person has practiced the secret method of sword energy, and the power of condensing the energy into a sword is incomparable. When I go to snatch the flying sword, The moment he pressed down the sword, life and death were in an instant. I had no confidence in winning."
In a flash of lightning, Liu Baihong made a decision.
His movement skills were superb, so he had a certain amount of initiative, and suddenly flew away quickly. After landing, he did not recall his own flying sword, which had little remaining magic power. Instead, he chose to form a formula with his fingers, gathered the sword energy around his body, and slashed out with one sword.
Sword Qi can be used by all monks, but the power is different. Lu Cheng's broken pulse sword Qi and the Qi Condensation Sword are strong enough to defeat the same level of magic weapon. This is the level of the monk's sword Qi secret method.
锵.
A pure white sword energy brilliance exploded as Liu Baihong's sword technique slashed diagonally.
The young Taoist who was in mid-air used his magic power to lift up and avoid the sword energy. However, Qi-training monks were not yet able to fly with the wind. This kind of lifting was more similar to the lightness kung fu of mortal warriors. Skill, once the energy is exhausted, it will fall.
What Liu Baihong was waiting for was this moment. He quickly used his body skills again, almost bringing out the cascading phantoms behind him. He flew up to a higher place, drew his sword in the air, and violently attacked his opponent.
One side is exhausted, one side is in perfect condition and exerts all its strength, one side is falling, and the other side is volleying and attacking from a high position.
Liu Baihong was really confident enough to completely defeat and defeat Lin Lie when he landed, thus increasing his confidence in hitting the bottleneck.
“Should we use White Rainbow Penetrating Sun at this moment?”
“No, there will be a better chance when his momentum is weakened to the extreme when he lands.”
Liu Baihong Pounces When he reached Lu Cheng in mid-air, the sharp palm of his sword pressed directly into his throat.
So far in this battle, Lu Cheng has indeed miscalculated. Liu Baihong, the Yi Sword Immortal Monkey, is almost the strongest monk in the realm of Qi training in the Evernight City. Although Lu Cheng is confident, he is not arrogant. I have seen his life experience before coming here, so I know This man has experienced numerous ups and downs in his life.
Therefore, although he has the unique skill of swordsmanship, he has never used it, because for such a monk with a strong character, the sword will probably only weaken him to a limited extent, but it will become a tempering. It is not as good as Save it for the right moment of truth.
Meteor from the sky, with one sword shot, it will kill, win, and die. It will kill/defeat with one sword, leaving no room for adaptation.
Every kendo skill is very powerful, but it does not mean that you will be invincible after mastering it.
Sword Intent is extremely effective against most monks, but its effect will be greatly weakened against monks with a tough mind.
"But it's too easy for me to win consecutive battles all the way. Even a swordsman like this who is almost a legend dares to look down on me. If I don't use this, I won't use that. I tie my hands..."
Sword Intent, a unique skill in swordsmanship. Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Cheng counterattacked with his sword palm.
The moment the swords and palms of the two sides clashed, the pupils of Yijian Immortal Monkey Liu Baihong expanded violently, but were suppressed by him the next moment, staring at Lu Cheng in disbelief.
However, he still defended in time and blocked Lu Cheng's sword attack when he gained an opening.
The two of them fought in the air, each showing off their sword moves.
Things were exactly as Lu Cheng thought. Except for the first sword intention, Liu Baihong no longer had any gaps in his sword moves. Instead, it was almost like stimulating some kind of potential. His fingers were like blades and his arms were like swords. , dozens of swords in a row swept over like a storm.
This swordsmanship is fast, ferocious, and all-pervasive. Every sword shot seems to involve all his efforts. Lu Cheng seems to see Liu Baihong's bloody life:
I am here every day. Fight, because you can't live otherwise!
Leveraging strength to break the momentum, Lu Cheng defended extremely carefully and could not get in even if he splashed water.
Quick! quick! quick!
Both sides are fighting fast, with swords stabbing, sword slashing, and falling quickly. However, every blow of both sides is able to attack and intercept the opponent with incomparable accuracy.
Lu Cheng has borrowed enough sword power to break enough sword power.
He landed first and disappeared in an instant. Only a piece of land protruded and moved forward at a rapid speed.
"White rainbow penetrates the sun!"
Yi Sword Immortal Monkey Liu Baihong also displayed the strongest killing move in his swordsmanship at this moment.
His whole body seemed to be a combination of man and sword, and his whole body was wrapped in a pure white sword rainbow that overflowed and fell down from the sky.
White Rainbow Guan Ri, this is the most basic form in swordsmanship. Even a mortal urchin can perform it when riding a bamboo horse and fighting a wooden sword.
However, Liu Baihong was born as a mortal killer in his early years. Every time he used this technique, he always tried to kill the enemy with one sword. After a while, he did not die: How terrible has this sword transformed into?
Using the Taoist theory of the Three Treasures of Spirit, Qi and Shen to describe such a sword, it can be called: divine transformation! The sword intention is superimposed, and finally reaches the state of divine transformation.
This sword move has almost surpassed his own realm.
"Where to go!"
Liu Baihong's energy and spirit have reached the peak when he performs the White Rainbow Penetrating Sun style.
After the mana was exhausted, the flying sword inserted into the mountain rock spread out from the inside out into a pure white cloud, buzzing and vibrating, and then suddenly rose into the air, flew towards Liu Baihong and landed in Liu Baihong's hand. .
As the white-haired Taoist in green raised his arms and slashed, white sword light slashed out from bottom to top. However, he did not chase the earth to escape, but slashed towards the land just now. The ancient tree behind the city's landing site was suddenly cut into two pieces.
However, the next moment, Liu Baihong's expression changed in shock, and he quickly turned around. However, at this time, Lu Cheng, who was charging forward with Tudun, suddenly jumped out, recalled the Red Flame Sword and held it, and at the same time, he pressed forward against Liu Baihong's throat.
If an ordinary Qi-training monk tries to escape by using the Five Elements Escape Technique in front of Liu Baihong, who has raised his energy and spirit to the highest level using Bai Hong Guan Sun, he will be seen through 10,000 times and will definitely be cut off 10,000 times. , can't escape even once.
However, the power of Lu Cheng's sword spirit continued to weaken, and finally Liu Baihong and Baihong Guanri were unable to reach the extreme realm. There were flaws in the capture of six senses. Liu Baihong could only rely on experience to choose to attack the ancient tree or earth escape. Liu Baihong chose Attack the ancient tree.
This is because there is no need to actually perform the Five Elements Escape Technique, it can be simulated with sword energy and breath gathering, which is relatively easy. However, Liu Baihong did not expect that Lu Cheng really knew the Five Elements Escape Technique, and he practiced it well:
In other words, are you a master of swordsmanship?
"I am completely convinced of my defeat in this battle. Please give me a good time." Liu Baihong closed her eyes and stopped talking.
"...Why did Mr. Liu say this? Didn't Mr. Liu say it at the beginning? This battle is a battle for seeking truth. In this case, why should we care so much about victory or defeat."
Meeting friends with a sword, even though Qin Hui also Can practice calligraphy well. But Lu Cheng had mastered the power of the sword, and he could vaguely sense and grasp Liu Baihong's desire to seek truth, so he naturally had more trust. In this case, there was no need to kill him and lower his reputation in the city that never sleeps.
The most important thing is that Liu Baihong is the only person so far who can make himself suffer in a sword fight. Lu Cheng really wanted to fight him a few more times to make up for his shortcomings.
Although Lu Cheng feels that he is the weakest in the Qi training state, it is like asking a top poker player to participate in a relay game. The fewer cards in his hand, the smaller the space for manipulation. Only Choosing to fill up the cards you get is the peak state of this poker player.
"Anyway, there is nothing else to do. Mr. Liu, would you mind going to Wenjianzhai with me for a drink? Recently, a disciple who opened a tavern brought me a jar of good wine, saying that his sister was born. They were buried at that time. Now one jar is used as her sister’s dowry, and the other jar is given to me as the host.”
Liu Baihong looked at Lu Cheng, then touched his neck. Although he was not afraid of death, he would not seek death on his own. He laughed loudly and said:
"Okay, it is Liu who can make friends with a person like Lin Daoyou." A blessing in this life."
"Please!"
"Please."
