But it was said that after Ling Xiaoyun returned to the realm of heaven and humans, although he failed to break through to the realm of heaven and immortals that had not been seen for a hundred years, his cultivation level was improved to a higher level than before.
Cao Qiong was surprised and delighted by this. Ordinary warriors, almost all of them were unable to recover after falling into a bad situation. They were like sailing against the current, retreating again and again, but their bravery was really amazing. Cao Qiong felt itchy for a moment, so he wanted to compete with him. After all, a perfect spearman master could only be found in his lifetime. Cao Qiong has been obsessed with swords all his life, so naturally he would not let this opportunity go in vain. He held the Feiying sword in his hand and asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, are you in the Dzogchen state now?"
Ling Xiaoyun's inner energy circulated throughout his body, he exhaled a breath of green energy, and said: "Senior's guess is good, it is undoubtedly the Great Consummation of Heaven and Man."
Cao Qiong smiled, and his fighting spirit was instantly high: "I am fascinated by the Dzogchen of heaven and man. In that case, please have a discussion with me, so that I can see the elegance of Dzogchen!"
Compared to Cao Qiong, who was in urgent need of a fierce battle to improve his realm, Ling Xiaoyun also needed a battle to consolidate his realm, so he agreed with a smile. One of them held a gun, the other held a sword, and they turned to look at the person standing aside. Lu Huaiyuan, the latter was looking at the two masters with great interest at the moment, his big eyes darting around, as if to say, hurry up and fight, I'll wait and see. Although he didn't know what Dzogchen was, judging from the postures of the two masters, they seemed to be competing. Lu Huaiyuan also wanted to know who was more powerful, the first master or the second master.
When Cao and Ling saw this, they were angry and funny. Ling Xiaoyun whispered: "Senior, a competition between you and me will not be of any benefit to this boy now, and will easily lead him astray. How about we find another place to compare with each other?" Cao Qiong nodded: "Old man It is precisely because of this that the brat doesn’t know that the sky is high and the earth is high, so he actually wants to watch the battle from the sidelines.”
The two looked at each other, understood, and then stood up and disappeared into the distance instantly. Lu Huaiyuan didn't know why, so he ran over quickly, thinking that the two masters were worried about losing in front of them and losing face, so they didn't He was watching the battle for himself, but there was nothing he could do besides jumping up and down in anger, and he had no intention of continuing to practice his gun. He sat on the ground with his hands on his hips angrily, and he only wanted to know the outcome of the battle as soon as possible.
Sword God Mountain was originally the ruins of an ancient sword formation. Cao Qiong had settled here all the year round, occupying a unique advantage and cultivating an unrivaled awe-inspiring sword spirit. Now facing Ling Xiaoyun, who is the perfect match between heaven and man, Cao Qiong did not dare to be careless, and at the same time he did not want to Taking advantage of others, he took Ling Xiaoyun away from the boundary of the Sword God Mountain. He started with all his strength, and the sword energy from the sky rushed towards his face. Ling Xiaoyun held a long spear in Taigong's fishing style, swaying slightly, and easily blocked the first sword energy. Then the water from Youlan Spear Dance was blocked, and the thousands of sword energies were swept away one by one.
Cao Qiong's sword power was unparalleled in the world, and his flying sword skills could even kill people thousands of miles away. Even his long-distance attacks were quite powerful. Ling Xiaoyun knew that he was not as good as him. All his skills were based on spears. If he couldn't He closed the distance between the two of them as quickly as possible. If he couldn't take advantage of the Youlan Spear's one-inch length and one-inch strength, he would have to be beaten blindly. However, he relied on his magical power and wanted to consider how much Cao Qiong's sword energy he could absorb, so he stopped. Don't move forward and bear it silently.
The sword energy continued in an endless stream. Fortunately, the Youlan Spear was made of a piece of South China Sea black iron and was extremely hard. If it had been any other weapon, it would have been turned into powder. Even though Ling Xiaoyun's cultivation reached the sky and the earth, the pressure doubled under Cao Qiong's sword energy. Within a radius of one mile, the earth was cracked and all the sand, stone, grass and trees were reduced to ashes. Cao Qiong's sword was in mid-air, and he couldn't see any signs of decline. The more he fought, the braver he became. Ling Xiaoyun weighed it carefully and found that he was not halfway through his breath and could still withstand the rain of swords in the sky.
After a while, Cao Qiong was about to run out of energy. Ling Xiaoyun felt that the pressure from the gun tip suddenly decreased, and the sword energy was not as dense as before. Ling Xiaoyun thought in his heart: "The time has come!" The gunfire kept spinning and went upstream, rushing straight in front of Cao Qiong, but saw the latter smiling slightly, knowing that something was wrong. It turned out that Cao Qiong was unable to attack for a long time. Although his sword intention was strong, against an opponent like Ling Xiaoyun, he could not cause any substantial damage except being able to suppress it. It was just a waste of energy. This was why he deliberately showed weakness and let Ling Xiaoyun mistakenly Thinking that he was about to run out of energy, he took advantage of the opportunity to take a breath and lured Ling Xiaoyun to him. Cao Qiong's sword intent is majestic, and his swordsmanship is also unparalleled. Although the Youlan Spear has an advantage in length, Cao Qiong is confident that the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand will not be compromised against the Youlan Spear. As long as Ling Xiaoyun dares to take the opportunity to step forward, he will There is a way to get within five feet. Then the Youlan Spear, which is ten feet long, cannot be used and becomes a burden.
Although Ling Xiaoyun was temporarily at a disadvantage, he remained calm in the face of danger. He twisted his hands in the body of the gun. The Youlan Spear, which was originally one foot long, was split into two parts, making a five-foot short spear and a short stick. Ling Xiaoyun held it in his left hand. With a short stick, he parried Cao Qiong's tricky sword. He held a short spear in his right hand and stabbed straight at Cao Qiong's face. The latter tilted his head and dodged the short spear attack. However, Ling Xiaoyun's marksmanship was so good that even if he held the spear with one hand, it was extremely powerful. , the short spear was like a gangrene attached to the bone, not three inches away from Cao Qiong's head. The two of them fought in close combat, and their marksmanship and swordsmanship were evenly matched, but Ling Xiaoyun was physically stronger and had the advantage of the weapon, turning the situation around and suppressing Cao Qiong.
In terms of Qi, Ling Xiaoyun, who is in his prime and has a superior level, is slightly better than Cao Qiong. The latter knows this very well, moves his lips slightly, breathes out a sword Qi, and comes straight towards Ling Xiaoyun. The two are too close to each other at this moment. , Ling Xiaoyun did not expect that Cao Qiong could spit out the sword energy in his chest as if it were real, and he was unable to dodge for a while. There was no time to make a move, so he could only retract the short spear and sweep away the sword energy. The short spear left his hand and drew a circle in the air, with the tip of the spear pointed towards Cao Qiong's throat.
At this time, Cao Qiong had exhausted all his old energy and had no backup. He sighed: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I am defeated."
When Ling Xiaoyun heard this, he immediately retracted his short spear. Cao Qiong saw that he could retract and retract it freely, and he sincerely admired him. Ling Xiaoyun said with a smile: "I agree. If the seniors hadn't chosen the venue for the competition here, far away from Sword God Mountain, I'm afraid the junior would have lost."
Cao Qiong smiled and shook his head, noncommittal. Both of them benefited a lot from this exchange. In the end, Ling Xiaoyun, who had the upper hand, narrowly won a move. But as Ling Xiaoyun said, if the two of them were to compete in the Sword God Mountain, or fight to the death, Cao's sword spirit would be stronger than that of the bullfighting Cao. Qiong may have a better chance of winning.
With the victory or defeat decided, Cao Qiong was about to return to Sword God Mountain with Ling Xiaoyun, but saw the latter stopped moving forward. Ling Xiaoyun clasped his fists and said, "Senior, please help me supervise Young Master Lu during these days. I still have something to resolve, so I won't go back with senior."
Cao Qiong thought for a while and asked: "Is it because you don't like the fight with me and want to find trouble for the holy monk of Kongshan Mountain?"
Ling Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Senior knows things like a god. Just as I thought, if I enter the realm of heaven and man for the first time tonight, I will naturally compete for the throne of the best in the world. Besides, I have never been able to defeat the old bald donkey before. The Vajra is invincible. Now that the realm has improved, it is natural to give it another try."
Hearing this, Cao Qiong looked worried. It was a long way to the Liang Kingdom. It was said that the Holy Monk of Kongshan was backed by the Emperor of the Liang Kingdom. There were countless capable people in Yunyin Temple, and Ling Xiaoyun was alone, so he was somewhat weak. Then he said: "In that case, let me accompany you for a walk, so that we can take care of each other."
Ling Xiaoyun didn't know Cao Qiong's good intentions, but he had his own plan. He waved his hand and said: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. But if senior is with me, I will have support in my heart, and I will be timid before fighting. This fight It is meaningless. Besides, the junior is alone to challenge the old bald donkey. It is just a martial arts competition between people in the world. If he goes with the senior, Feng Jingquan will definitely send heavy troops due to his greedy and fearful nature. Support, senior, don't worry, junior knows the importance, the old bald donkey's ability to take a beating is top-notch, beating people is not as sharp as senior, as long as the signs are wrong, junior will be in trouble, what about Yunyin Arhat Formation, Vajra Knot, want to stay Living with a junior is nothing more than a foolish dream. In today's world, if a junior wants to leave, unless the senior and the old bald donkey join forces, no one can really stop him!"
After saying goodbye to Cao Qiong, Ling Xiaoyun raised his spear and strode forward.
Cao Qiong looked into the distance and murmured to himself: "Is he the best in the world?"
