Because of what Master said, Gu Qingxi didn't rest all night, but kept sitting on the bed meditating. When Long Qianli came to see Gu Qingxi before dawn, he saw Gu Qingxi sitting on the bed meditating and exhaling from the window with an indifferent expression.
Appreciation appeared in Long Qianli's eyes, he couldn't help but nodded, and then stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Third Senior Brother." Gu Qingxi opened the door and was not surprised to see that it was still dark outside.
"Let's go." Long Qianli said only one word.
The brother and sister came to the back mountain with their swords. After Gu Qingxi finished wielding his sword and forging his body, Long Qianli said: "Start now."
Um? Gu Qingxi had a question mark on her face, what does the third senior brother mean by this?
"I will suppress my cultivation to the point of foundation building. From now on, you run and I chase. You must do your best." After Long Qianli said briefly, he waved his hand to signal Gu Qingxi to run quickly.
Wha, what? Gu Qingxi's eyes widened. Was that what she meant?
"Time's up." Long Qianli drew his sword and struck mercilessly at Gu Qingxi, who had not yet reacted. This sword was so majestic that the icy breath rushed towards the face, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air made people's hearts tremble.
Gu Qingxi's expression changed and she quickly drew her sword to resist.
The next moment, a terrifying biting coldness came from the sword in his hand. That was the sword energy of the third senior brother! The sharp stinging sensation made Gu Qingxi's eyesight go dark, his chest was churning, and he almost wanted to vomit blood.
Before Gu Qingxi could recover, Long Qianli swung his next sword again.
Gu Qingxi fought again, and as a result, after the weapons collided, a huge force swept over him, and then Gu Qingxi rolled out like a rubber ball.
Third senior brother is serious! ! !
After Gu Qingxi stopped rolling, she got up, turned around and ran away.
Long Qianli's face was filled with frost and he followed closely.
…
On the top of the mountain, Mo Tianchen and Lu Tianyu stood at the top. They looked at the scene down the mountain and saw Long Qianli chasing after Gu Qingxi with murderous intent.
An unbearable expression appeared on Lu Tianyu's face: "Master, is the third senior brother a little too strict? After all, the younger junior sister is just building a foundation and has no experience in fighting the enemy."
"Qianli is like this just because he has no experience against the enemy." Mo Tianchen said slowly with a calm face.
"But, the little junior sister is still so young..." Lu Tianyu's eyes were full of worry. The little junior sister is delicate and frail. Is it really okay to let the third senior brother teach her like this? The third senior brother had chased him away like this before, but he was different, he was rough-skinned and thick-bodied.
"It doesn't matter." Mo Tianchen said calmly. He knew the cruelty of the world of cultivation, and his disciples actually knew it even better. It is better to be strict with the young apprentice now than if the young apprentice loses his life outside.
However, Mo Tianchen didn't expect Long Qianli to be able to do that.
Long Qianli squeezed Gu Qingxi more than the other juniors. He seemed to want to push Gu Qingxi to his limit.
No, that's not right!
The more Mo Tianchen watched, the more surprised he became. It was the young apprentice's response behavior that made the third apprentice couldn't help but increase the intensity again and again. It seemed that the third apprentice himself didn't notice.
…
Long Qianli held the sword and chased Gu Qingxi. After Gu Qingxi understood that Long Qianli was serious, he also became serious. As she ran, she dodged Long Qianli's attack behind her. The sharp sword energy was wrapped in cold and biting spiritual power, making Gu Qingxi miserable. It is very difficult to dodge every attack, and the biggest problem is that even if you dodge the sword, you will still be injured by the sword energy.
Soon, there were wounds of various sizes on Gu Qingxi's body. Although the wounds were not serious, they were painful. Cold and painful!
Long Qianli was also a little surprised. The junior sister seemed to have a keen intuition like a beast. She seemed to be able to predict the direction of his attack and would always avoid it a little early. And she didn't seem to notice this.
Gu Qingxi ran until she was out of breath, screaming in her heart as she ran. Is Third Senior Brother trying to fool her? Did Third Senior Brother really suppress his cultivation to the point of foundation building? Isn't this scientific? It's not that she hasn't tried to fight back, she also tried her best to strike out at the third senior brother with a sword. As a result, the third senior brother just waved his sword lightly and neutralized her sword intention.
"Girl, this senior brother of yours is like a sword, what a terrifying sword power." Ancestor Wan Ling also screamed in Gu Qingxi's mind. This is called Long Qianli's talent, which is so terrifying that it even suppresses his foundation-building cultivation. With this kind of foundation building, it won't be too difficult to kill enemies beyond levels.
"Then you are really right. It is said that the third senior brother has mastered the integration of human and sword." Gu Qingxi panted. After replying to the ancestor Wanling, he suddenly felt a little strange. There was no breath of the third senior brother behind him.
No matter how much, find a place to hide and take a rest. Gu Qingxi hid behind a boulder and held her breath. Then he looked at the injuries on his body and grimaced in pain. Third senior brother is really ruthless.
Suddenly, Gu Qingxi's face darkened, and she suddenly rolled on the spot, rolling away from the place with lightning speed.
The next moment, a terrifying sword energy struck, and the boulder where Gu Qingxi was hiding was cut open. The next moment, the boulder turned into powder and dissipated in the air.
Behind him was Long Qianli with a cold face.
Ahhhhh! dying! I feel like I'm really going to die! Third senior brother is so scary! Gu Qingxi ran away.
Long Qianli looked at Gu Qingxi's retreating back, looked at his sword, and then looked at the original location of the boulder. He was sure of one thing, yes, the junior sister had a very keen sense of danger. Why is this? His instinct for danger was honed in countless dangerous situations. Junior sister too? impossible! Long Qianli immediately overturned his conjecture.
The junior sister was only at the first level of Qi Refining when she started, and she had already reached the foundation building level in just two days without even traveling. How could she have faced so many dangers, and how could she have developed such an almost beast-like intuition for danger? induction?
Lu Tianyu, who was watching the battle from a distance, was no longer calm when he saw Long Qianli's sword strike. He cried out: "Master, master, the third senior brother is serious! If the junior sister hadn't dodged just now, the junior sister would have been cold." ah!"
Mo Tianchen also frowned slightly. Didn't the third disciple realize that he was becoming more and more serious? But Mo Tianchen didn't stop. When there is real danger, he will take action. Murder and treasure grabbing incidents are not uncommon in the world of cultivation. Now it is necessary for the little disciple to get used to the feeling of being attacked by a sneak attack and let her learn how to escape from the hands of a strong person.
The training ended with Gu Qingxi covered in injuries, two broken ribs, and vomiting blood.
Lu Tianyu bandaged Gu Qingxi's wound with a distressed expression. Long Qianli handed a pill to Gu Qingxi and asked her to take it.
"Do you blame senior brother for being too strict?" Long Qianli asked.
Gu Qingxi reluctantly shook her head: "I know that senior brother is doing it for my own good." The younger senior brother and master must also agree with this approach. Because the little senior brother looked distressed but didn't say a word to stop her, and Mo Tianchen silently touched her head and asked her to continue working hard tomorrow.
Hearing this, Long Qianli's eyes flashed with relief, and his handsome face was calm. He said slowly: "When I first established the foundation, I went to a secret realm. That secret realm prohibited people with cultivation levels above the foundation from entering. Everyone thought this was a harmless secret realm. But it turned out that everything was an illusion. Including me, there were a total of 232 monks who entered, but I was the only one who came out."
After Long Qianli paused, he said softly: "Little junior sister, I don't want you to become one of those two hundred and thirty-one people."
Gu Qingxi was stunned, and then understood instantly. This is why the third senior brother trained her so harshly. Her heart felt sour and warm, this was the care and love unique to the third senior brother.
