Since the purpose was to test the swordsman's swordsmanship, Cheng Ling gave up all other means and fought exclusively with swordsmanship, not even using swordsmanship.
At the beginning, the two of them were going back and forth, and the fight was quite lively.
Jian Yinghao originally only had a pure gold spiritual root. Later, he supplemented the other four types in the Five Elements Barrier of Canglan Continent and became a five spiritual root monk. Therefore, the swordsmanship he uses basically has five elements attributes.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth!
From time to time, the long sword turns into a golden light, like golden lightning, drawing a straight line in the air. It is simple, violent and direct, without any fancy, and full of murderous intent.
Cheng Ling became inexplicably excited, feeling excited about meeting a powerful opponent, and his blood was boiling. It has been a long time since I have experienced a pure sword fight.
The dragon feather sword was raised, the sound of the sword was melodious and sweet, and the sword light was bright and dazzling, and it killed.
What he uses is also the metal sword technique, the Five Elements Sharp Gold Sword!
The two fought at full strength, and the fight became more intense. Jian Yinghao's swordsmanship further broadened Cheng Ling's horizons. He did not expect that the power of gold could be used in this way, and it was more delicate and flexible than his own. But I also discovered the other party's shortcomings, that is, the integration between mysteries and swordsmanship is not close enough, and the level of swordsmanship is also much worse than mine.
Cheng Ling's current swordsmanship level has almost reached the late fourth level, while Jian Yinghao has only reached the early fourth level.
The gap in swordsmanship made it easier for Cheng Ling to detect flaws in his swordsmanship and launch targeted attacks.
But the sword hero is not a thing in the pool. Seeing that his set of gold swordsmanship is gradually being suppressed, he suddenly changes his tactics.
The green sword light shot out, and there was a sense of endless life, which was continuous in the air. The long sword seemed to turn into branches, which were either soft, tough or hard. Each branch kept changing, from Attack Cheng Ling from different angles.
The edges of the branches are sharp and can cut through anything, and the ends are sharp and can penetrate the body. Dozens of branches attack continuously at the same time, which contains the endless life of the secret of wood. Every move and every move is wrapped around Cheng Ling's body, and the aftermath is still lingering. All, one wave after another.
Cheng Ling's eyes condensed, and he launched the Silent Sword Style and the Heavenly Sword Style in succession, immediately shaking the branches into pieces. That's not all, the sword energy remained strong, forming streaks of bright sword light that kept approaching.
Jian Yinghao turned his long sword, and the green sword light suddenly turned blue, like a clear spring. The sword energy struck by Cheng Ling entered the spring water, and gradually disappeared with layers of light blue ripples. trace.
Immediately afterwards, Jian Yinghao raised his arm, and water arrows suddenly gathered and shot through the air with astonishing power.
Cheng Ling felt a sharp chill, as if it was about to freeze him.
Bagua Youlong stepped out, the immortal essence was poured into the long sword, exuding bursts of hot breath, constantly evaporating the sharp water arrows.
The swordsman's swordsmanship changed again, using fire to defeat fire, and the same hot sword energy erupted, as if triggering a volcanic eruption, the terrifying high temperature, bursting and burning.
Cheng Ling lowered his back and sat on the horse, raised the Dragon Ling Sword upward, and used the Great Xuanyang Sword Technique. A stream of pure Yang righteousness spurted out. The fire energy not only failed to extinguish it, but instead encouraged the Yang Qi to flourish.
Jian Yinghao had no choice but to change his moves again. The fiery red sword light became steady and thick, khaki in color, and he laid down layers of defense in front of him.
Among the five elements of swordsmanship, the earth-based swordsmanship is the most difficult to deal with and has the strongest defense. The sword energy is thick and very tough. Every blow is so powerful that it seems to shatter the earth.
In order to directly experience Jian Yinghao's use of the secrets of the earth element, Cheng Ling used the sword in his hand to confront him head-on. With the powerful body of the ninth-level spiritual body, with every collision, huge power was derived from the sword technique, shaking the body and making Jian Yinghao Qi and blood surged.
After continuously retreating for tens of meters, Jian Yinghao's eyes were focused, his arms were raised flat, and the sword seemed to be constantly changing its position. It looked very far away, but also seemed to be right in front of him.
Cheng Ling's heart trembled and he couldn't help shouting: "The Secret Sword Technique of Space!"
Jian Yinghao said: "This sword is my strongest killing move. I am not very proficient in mastering it. Brother Cheng, be careful!"
Cheng Ling's eyes flashed and he exhaled: "Come on!"
Suddenly, the long sword in Jian Yinghao's hand seemed to be curved or straight, as if it was divided into thousands. Hundreds of sword lights gathered from all directions, condensed to one point, and came to Cheng Ling in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Ling raised his arm and used the Void Nirvana sword technique. The entire space seemed to be still, becoming gray, without light, and without any sound.
"Qiang!"
With a loud noise, the bright sword light and darkness were instantly annihilated. Cheng Ling's feet were slightly bent and he stood firmly on the spot. On the other hand, Jian Yinghao almost retreated out of the square, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
After he calmed down for a moment, he laughed and said: "We haven't seen each other for more than a hundred years, but Brother Cheng is still much better than me. I am convinced that I lost this battle."
Jian Yinghao knew that what Cheng Ling showed was not all of his combat power. Based on his understanding of him, there must be many tricks that he had not used, at least the sword control technique and the thunderbolt technique.
Cheng Ling said: "Brother Swordsman Liao Zan, you have actually mastered the essence of the Five Elements Sword Technique very thoroughly, but you are lacking in the integration of sword technique and mysteries. Another thing is that the reason why you have only stayed in this field for the past five years is It’s the thirtieth floor of the sword tower, that’s because your power-generating skills and sword domain are not perfect enough.”
"I also know this, but no matter how I understand it, it is extremely difficult to improve my own power skills and sword domain. It seems to have hit a bottleneck now." Jian Yinghao sighed.
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and said: "Perhaps we can understand it from another angle. The strength of swordsmanship can be divided into two aspects to strengthen, horizontally and vertically."
"The horizontal aspect refers to the sword technique itself, sword intention, force-generating techniques, etc., while the vertical aspect refers to the realm of swordsmanship, esoteric fusion, sword domain, etc. The two complement each other. No matter which aspect improves, it can enhance the power of the sword technique and at the same time drive the rest. disadvantaged projects.”
"If you encounter bottlenecks in your power-generating skills and sword domain, you can do more work on the integration of the realm of swordsmanship and mysteries. I believe you will get a big breakthrough in the near future."
Jian Yinghao suddenly felt enlightened. Cheng Ling's guidance was like clearing away the fog that shrouded his eyes, allowing him to find a new direction.
In fact, only in terms of talent in swordsmanship, Jian Yinghao is not necessarily much worse than Cheng Ling, but his knowledge is too shallow. I have been practicing hard in the Chaoyang Temple for more than a hundred years. I can't see the swordsmanship outside and can't see the new atmosphere. It's like a leaf blocking my eyesight, so I'm stuck in a bottleneck.
Cheng Ling is different. In the past hundred years, he has traveled through the Black Demon Abyss, the Demon Spirit Continent, the Mountain and River Void Realm, the Buddhist Sect, the Nether World, the Sea Clan, etc., and his horizons are so broad. In addition, he is not only specialized in swordsmanship, but also dabbles in spells, body refining, souls, formations, alchemy, talismans, and even the power of the netherworld. His vision is so broad that he can find the crux of the problem with a little thought.
After Jian Yinghao had digested it for a while, he asked again: "Brother Jian, was that last move of space secret sword technique taught to you by your master?"
Jian Yinghao replied: "Yes, my master is good at the mysteries of the stars and the mysteries of space. I learned a lot from her teachings."
Cheng Ling nodded and said, "How much has your space secret improved?"
"Fifty percent!"
Cheng Ling thought for a while and finally made up his mind and said: "Brother Jian, I will take you to a place. You don't need to ask or explore. There, the Five Elements Spiritual Roots you originally possessed will be raised to the limit. Not only that. , and it is possible to give birth to new spiritual roots, are you willing?"
Jian Yinghao was stunned and was about to ask, but he remembered Cheng Ling's instructions and immediately said: "Brother Cheng, just let him go and do whatever he wants. Is there anything else I shouldn't believe in you?"
Cheng Ling smiled slightly and said, "Okay, open your mind."
Jian Yinghao opened his heart as he was told.
The next moment, he felt as if his body had entered another space. The Heavenly Dao inside was slightly weak, but the immortal energy was very abundant.
I don’t know how much time passed, but it was only when my feet set foot on the ground that Cheng Ling’s voice reached my ears: “Brother Jian, this is a nine-level space. There are various attribute elves in it, in the colors of gold, green, and blue. , red, yellow, white, black, transparent, and green, which correspond to the nine attributes of the five elements, light, darkness, space, and time."
"You have experienced the Five Elements Space back then. The situation here is similar to that there, but it can push various attribute spiritual roots to the extreme, and it is possible to derive new spiritual roots. In addition, I will also teach you two skills from outside the realm. The inheritance received by the monks is the technique of exerting force and the Scripture of refining the mind. Whether you can achieve the results of your cultivation depends on your own destiny."
When Jian Yinghao heard this, he took a deep breath. In such a heaven-defying space, Cheng Ling sent him over without hesitation. This friendship was even better than that between father and son, master and apprentice.
He didn't say anything to express his gratitude, but kept it in his heart, because sending such a heaven-defying opportunity can no longer be expressed with simple words. Without any hesitation, Jian Yinghao immediately stepped forward and rushed into the ninth level of space, looking for attribute elves to fight.
After settling down the sword hero, Cheng Ling came to his senses again. Just as he reminded Jian Yinghao, the improvement of force exertion skills and sword domain also encountered a bottleneck after reaching the 33rd floor of the last sword tower. The force exertion skills also encountered a bottleneck. Staying at the fourth level of flawless control, the sword domain stays at the eighth level.
He needs to calm down and improve himself by understanding the swordsmanship of the swordsmen in the sword tower and comprehending the secrets of each department. He cannot let go of the practice of the Scripture of Refining the Intent and the Nine-turn Heart Seal Jue. As such, there is still much to do.
Originally, I just wanted to raise the Sword Domain to the top in the Chaoyang Temple and leave, looking for opportunities to advance to the Immortal Emperor. Now it seems that I still need to slow down.
Breaking into the tower failed in the end. One of the reasons was that the swordsman's sword field was stronger than his. Another reason was that the use of the sword field was not flexible enough. It was like he had reached a certain height, but was still slightly lacking in width.
All of this must be gradually understood from the battle with the swordsman. Even if you cannot pass the level, you must break into the tower again and fight with the swordsmen in the sword tower to understand their application skills of the sword field, thereby improving your own sword field. Enhanced combat application.
Of course, this cannot be done continuously by just relying on brute force, but must be done step by step. For the first time, I only killed two swordsmen on the thirty-third floor. This was the starting point. I should first settle down and understand the gains from the battle. At the same time, I took the time to understand the secrets, improve my spiritual consciousness, refine my sword intention, and grow together in many aspects.
Wait until a certain time before breaking into the tower. I believe that the number of swordsmen that can be killed will gradually increase. Even if you fail again, you can settle down, realize again, and break through again!
Such a cycle will eventually lead to a full-scale explosion of various combat skills. Sword techniques, mysteries, souls, sword fields, power skills, etc. will all reach the peak of the Tianzun stage!
