Yun Xi felt a little confused. With such a sword, she thought that even if it couldn't hurt Li Jian, it would at least make him panic for a while. She still had a lot of backup options. As long as she succeeded with this sword, even if she was injured, Without Li Jian, as long as she can distract him for a moment, she is sure to launch an attack that is unpredictable and difficult for him to parry. From this, she can always suppress Li Jian and let this kid keep slowing her down. Half a step, for a swordsman, there is no difference between half a step slowly and ten steps a hundred steps slowly.
But...how did he know that his sword would strike from behind?
But there was no time to think about this. Li Jian almost rushed in front of him at this time, and the light of the spiritual sword in his hand was no less than his own!
Sheath your sword to resist or dodge?
The hesitation made Yunxi waste another moment. At this time, even if she sheathed her sword to resist Li Jian's attack, it seemed a bit reluctant. Yunxi followed the path of flying swords, although it was much more powerful than other monks. , but she was also a little wary of Li Jian's way of fighting closely and attacking at close range. After all, face-to-face fighting was not what she was good at. At any time, she dodged to the side and met with Li Jian who was approaching. Jane distanced herself, sheathing her sword and preparing to continue the attack.
Li Jian, who had already rushed in front of Yun Xi, hesitated for a moment. He remembered what senior Leng Yue had said when he taught him several times in his purple bamboo forest. It seemed that his induction was very popular among monks. It was rare that Yun Xi was able to defeat Yun Xi's second sword just now by relying on this feeling. In this situation, he had the confidence to stay close to Yun Xi and force her to constantly give in. He could see that Yun Xi was Xi is not good at this kind of face-to-face and staring at each other. As long as he can continue, he will eventually be able to defeat Yun Xi.
But... isn't this unfair to Yunxi?
Since this kind of feeling he has is very rare, then Yunxi will naturally not have it, otherwise it will not be considered rare. Is it considered a trick to defeat her second sword like this?
And even if this advantage is maintained and not expanded much, and finally defeats Yun Xi, Yun Xi's true ability will not be seen, and he will not know what he is like.
After all, I only see this as a sparring match rather than a life-and-death struggle.
forget it!
Thinking of this, Li Jian just made a false stab in front of Yun Xi. When Yun Xi dodged and then hit him with a sword, he retreated backwards, no longer bullying each other, but giving enough. The time it took Yunxi to react widened the distance between the two.
"Brother Li, why are you doing this? Why are you retreating? You can definitely defeat that woman by keeping pressing and fighting?" Lu Pingchuan, who was watching the battle with his head raised, was very puzzled when he saw that Li Jian was deliberately giving in.
"Brother Li may just see this as a competition," Tang Ping said beside Lu Pingchuan. "After all, sword cultivators and sword cultivators don't have many opportunities to fight each other. It's over like this. How can they confirm each other?"
…
A fire lit up in Yunxi's heart. That Li Jian just now could have pressed forward step by step, but he retreated. Was it a deliberate show of kindness?
impossible!
Or is it a deliberate show of strength? When you have the advantage, do you deliberately give in and give yourself up in spite of difficulties? Save face?
joke!
Less likely!
So why did Mr. Li do this?
But no matter why, when he did this just now, he was obviously giving himself a step, calmly, but with obvious traces of giving himself a step!
When did she, Yunxi, ask others to give in?
And it’s still in front of everyone!
Thinking of this, Yun Xi felt an inexplicable feeling of embarrassment after being slightly humiliated!
That's fine, I'll give you a step in a while, so I won't take advantage of you!
Li Jian didn't know that his retreat would cause such waves in Yun Xi's heart. He didn't think about anything. Yun Xi had already fired two swords. He was sparring with her, and there was no agreement to give the other three moves first. Since the other party has made the first move twice, it’s time for him to take action as well!
…
The third time, the two people started almost at the same time!
Li Jian met Yun Xi's sword halfway. This time, he knocked away the opponent's flying spiritual sword with one strike, but it seemed that what was hit was just a shadow. After a "ding" sound, the sword Then, with the sound of swords clashing, ghostly sounds appeared in front of Li Jian at different angles. Li Jian swung his sword and slashed again. There was a "ding" sound, and the ghostly shadow of the spiritual sword being knocked away was still there. Now, Yun Xi's sword appeared in front of him again, and it still stabbed him fiercely!
In an instant, Li Jian didn't know how many swords he slashed. In front of him, one of his right arms held the sword forward, but the further the arm moved forward, the blurry it became, and it almost reached the wrist. His right hand holding the sword could not be seen clearly, and he could only see the waves of shadows stirring back and forth. The two swords in front of him were getting brighter and brighter, and the sound of "dinging, clanging" was like the sound of heavy rain. The sound echoed loudly on the glazed tiles!
Li Jian became excited, this is the right thing! It’s better to see what you are really capable of!
But it’s not fun to just defend without attacking. I have to show you my methods!
Yunxi held two sword arts in her hands and controlled her spiritual sword to fight with Li Jian. Among the two sword lights, her own was more than five feet away from her, which made her move very quickly. A comfortable distance, but now she was slightly surprised. With such an intensive attack, Li Jian was able to hit every sword. Now she was separated by the sword light and could not see Li Jian's face clearly. She could only see the sword. The green-robed figure behind the light was steadily confronting him.
Gradually, she realized something was wrong. Not only did Li Jian hold back every sword he struck, but now every sword he struck revealed the direction, angle and even the intention of the sword. Sealed, not only that, originally this boy Li did not use his body skills when fighting with her. As the stalemate lasted longer, she found that more and more of her sword was being hit by the slight movements of that boy's figure. She dodged as soon as she moved. Originally, she could hurt him from behind if the sword was pierced in the air, but that was a way to deal with ordinary monks. She didn't dare to deal with Mr. Li. Her second sword was struck by Li Jian. Broken, if he was stabbed from behind with a sword, then Li Xiaozi would definitely ignore the sword stabbed from behind and come directly in front of him. That would be too passive, and he must be stopped from the front!
At this time, on the ground, Yanxuan had already applied medicine and bandaged the last injured person, but the man was looking at the sky in a daze and completely forgot to say thank you. When Yanxuan saw the man like this, he turned his head and looked up into the air.
In the air, two dazzling sword lights collided, and sword lights occasionally flowed past Li Jian's side. Amidst the fine "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound, Yanxuan watched the figure in a green robe slowly push forward in the air. Two groups of sword lights pressed forward.
Brother Li... is really amazing!
Shang Jie stared blankly at the fight in the air. Only then did he realize that the woman still had her hands on him. If she had used such a method to deal with him before, he might have been defeated long ago.
"Junior Brother Qian, this Junior Brother Li is really... very powerful!"
Shang Jie didn't know how to describe what he saw in front of him, so he murmured. Qian Chao beside him watched the scene in the sky intently, and nodded lightly.
…
Every time he passed a sword, Li Jian had the opportunity to strike with one more sword!
Although he and Yun Xi were in different directions, with every sword thrust at Yun Xi from a distance, the invisible sword energy squeaked towards Yun Xi, and was then dodged by Yun Xi.
…
Four feet!
Yunxi found that Li Jian had advanced ten feet away from him.
You can retreat and continue to maintain this confrontation, but that would be a disadvantage. Yunxi knew that as long as he took a step back, Li Jian would continue to approach him. Even if he could remain as he is now. situation, but when she gives in, she will inevitably face defeat. She is unwilling to retreat, let alone retreat!
What an amazing Li Jian! No wonder that Leng Yue took a fancy to him and wanted to put him under the door. He was indeed an extraordinary person, as he had seen today.
But where am I missing!
I have admired you for so long!
I have heard your story since I was a child and admire you from the bottom of my heart!
I finally persuaded my family to let me enter the Five Spirits Sect, and then I immediately and sincerely went to become a disciple!
I just want to create a good story between master and disciple!
Why!
Why do you just look at me and then categorically reject me and ignore me again?
Yunxi thought bitterly!
Can you use what happened today to... kill this Li Jian?
If there is a chance...
…
When the murderous intention arises, the sword becomes chaotic!
How could Li Jian know the various thoughts swirling in Yun Xi's heart at this moment? He only noticed that the opponent's sword was in chaos, and that was an opportunity!
The two sword lights seemed to disappear suddenly. Li Jian seized the opportunity to get rid of Yun Xi's entanglement, and his figure rose up. At the moment when Yun Xi was stunned, he was up and down, and the green bamboo spirit sword in his hand was like a The huge blooming lotus was like the dense spring rain after thunder, and it capsized towards Yunxi!
At this time, Yunxi had to retreat even if he didn't want to!
The whistling sword energy suddenly arrived, sticking to her side and passing through the ends of her hair. From the bun on the top of her head to the hem of the skirt at her feet, she was enveloped in everything, pervasive and full of dangers!
Yunxi tried her best to resist, dodge, and retreat. She never thought that Li Jian's attack would be so fierce. In shock, Yunxi's eyebrows became colder and colder, and the corners of her mouth pursed tighter and tighter. There was a bit of ice in her heart. The water rippled in the pool.
Just when Li Jian's sword rain finally weakened, Yun Xi seized the opportunity and was about to counterattack, when he saw Li Jian circling vertically like a big bird. When he was about to rush down from the highest point, the sword gleamed in his hand. The sudden shrinkage seemed to have sucked out the brilliance of the mountains and rivers, and the mountains and forests were darkened. Then the sword light shot toward Yun Xi's position like a white blazing meteor.
Just when the forest fell into darkness, Yun Xi felt bad in her heart. She had been forced to retreat by Li Jian and would never retreat again!
Her white hands turned pale due to resentment or nervousness. As the sword technique changed, her spiritual sword suddenly appeared. In the cold light, she faced the rushing meteor and stabbed it with determination...
…
Far from being as powerful as the people watching the battle imagined, it was even beyond people's expectations. The two spiritual swords almost touched each other lightly without making any sound, and then they moved away. Li Jian held the spiritual sword and flew upside down. Then, Yun Xi's body also flew backward.
Then both fell silent.
It seems...at least I can't kill this guy Li today!
After facing this sword, Yun Xi's face flushed and he stared at Li Jian thinking.
Li Jian's face was also slightly red. Looking at Yun Xi not far away, he became confused. Just now, the tips of the two spiritual swords touched each other, and when their sword energy clashed with each other, he suddenly had an idea. It was a very strange feeling. He remembered what Fairy Lengyue had said about the clarity of the sword's heart when she first came to her purple bamboo forest. "Seeing the sun and the moon, although you cannot see thousands of miles away, you can still see every detail." Just now When the two swords collided, for a moment, he clearly grasped Yun Xi's state of mind!
Want to kill me!
Why is this so?
However, the state of clear sword heart was so attractive that Li Jian couldn't help but want to continue immersed in it. He had only obtained it by chance during a dangerous sword attack. Could it be that this state could only be achieved in such a fierce battle? Can the ability be gradually cultivated?
Then give it a try.
If you want to kill me, huh, let's see if you can do it!
…
Li Jian's figure straightened up in the air, and a fierce killing intent enveloped him from top to bottom. Like a remnant soldier after a hundred battles facing the invading army, he rushed into the killing place with determination to die. Like a formation, Li Jian did not hide his murderous intention and heart, and rushed towards Yun Xi!
Li Jian did it on purpose. He knew the principle of ringing a bell and it would be full of ringing. He also knew that ringing a bell may not make it ring completely, but the murderous intention of one sword heart will definitely stir up another sword heart whose murderous intention cannot be concealed. Murderous intent is raging!
Show me your real skills!
Li Jian thought like this when he drew his sword!
Everyone watching the battle below was speechless as they watched the fierce battle, each of them seemed to have some understanding.
Yanxuan looked there, moved to Tang Ping's side worriedly, and asked softly:
"Brother Li, will everything be okay?"
"No, Brother Li hasn't used his double swords yet."
Tang Ping answered softly while still watching the fierce fight there.
…
In the air, the sword energy was flowing freely and freely!
The light of the sword appears and disappears like a startling grand, or it can be as majestic and continuous as a river, the sword energy can be as violent as the violent wind, or it can be as warm and smoky as the spring breeze in March!
The two figures kept exchanging positions in the air. Every time they approached each other, countless deadly rays of light burst out from between the two people, covering each other's eyebrows. Sometimes the light disappeared fleetingly, and sometimes it lingered for a long time. When the spirit sword touches the spirit sword, the sound it makes is no longer ethereal and sweet. It is like a big hammer dragging across an iron washboard. When people hear it, they feel like there is a knife cutting in their ears! The sharp sword light and the vertical and horizontal sword intent kept cutting the void between the two people. After one sword strike, there were several more sword strikes in an instant. After the buzzing disappeared and the sword light disappeared, the remaining sword spirit murderous intent disappeared. After a long period of accumulation and accumulation, the world that could have healed itself without medicine is becoming fragmented and slowly collapsing towards the two people in the fierce fight!
Yunxi's fair face became more and more jade-white, and the face hidden behind the sword light also became more and more cold. For a while, she forgot about Fairy Lengyue and the humiliation of becoming a disciple. , forgetting how hateful this boy Li was, she felt neither angry nor happy, and stayed with Li Jiandou in an unusually calm manner. It was so lonely between heaven and earth like that, so quiet that only the sound of boy Li's sword across the street was left. She looked at this The young man, who seemed to be a few years younger than him, watched every time he drew his sword, dodged every time he thrust the sword, and calculated how he would attack again next time and how he should respond.
That feeling is very enjoyable, Yunxi hopes it can last forever!
Faintly, somewhere on the barrier of the cultivation bottleneck seemed to be loosened, which surprised Yunxi. Could fighting still have such benefits?
If I can break through the bottleneck and break through the small five levels, then I...can't I be able to stabilize this guy Li's head again!
The moment of joy was like a gentle breeze, which finally ruffled the water and caused slight ripples.
You still can't be confused in your heart. As long as you are confused, the hidden things will surely be revealed slowly, just like the secrets buried in the heavy snow will always be exposed with the spring sunshine, just like the seeds sprinkled in the soil, they will always be exposed. To sprout!
The boy in front of him is the one who makes Yunxi hate him so much after all!
…
Li Jian's face has always been plain. He thrust out each sword cautiously, and calmly avoided every sword ray from the opponent. Sometimes he used the sword as cautiously as an old man, and sometimes as arrogantly or as heavy as a drunkard. Like the mountains of Qianren, or as light as the gentle breeze passing through the forest,
Li Jian lamented that Yunxi was a sword cultivator after all. Today’s sparring session with her was really enjoyable. In the past, she had fought with high-level monks and mid-level monks. The pressure that high-level monks put on her was suffocating. , but those mid-level monks are so vulnerable, and never have they been so happy when fighting this female swordsman! Neither will he be defeated if he is not paying attention, nor can he win easily. The two are not far apart in cultivation. It seems that Yun Xi is slightly better than him, but in terms of swordsmanship, they are evenly matched. If you push him hard, , the other side will definitely push back with force. If you are careless, the other side will definitely take advantage of it.
Opponents like this are rare, and no fight in the past has been as surprising as today!
Speaking of surprise, it was because after the fight, Li Jian suddenly discovered that she could clearly perceive Yun Xi's every move. This did not refer to her drawing or sheathing the sword, but the shock or worry in her heart. As sword cultivators, it is impossible for opponents to show surprise, panic or excitement on their faces. Both parties can only hide the changes and intentions in their hearts, either motivating them bravely or retreating in discouragement. It cannot be seen on the face, not to mention the subtle emotions of sadness and joy, and the temporary ups and downs of the mind, which are even more impossible to be seen by others.
But Li Jian gradually saw Yun Xi clearly!
Or maybe it’s not something you see, but something you feel.
The sword's heart is clear. If I see that senior Leng Yue again, I must ask him for advice.
After Li Jian deliberately provoked Yun Xi with murderous intentions and provoked her to fight with him, Li Jian actually disrupted Yun Xi's steps. At the beginning of the fight, he suppressed Yun Xi almost everywhere. He made them fight according to their own intentions, and even forced Yunxi to hold the hilt of the sword to fight with him at times. For a while, Li Jian noticed that Yun Xi's heart was full of pleasure from this kind of competition. It can be said that this was the desire of fellow swordsmen to improve their swordsmanship, and it seemed that this female swordsman also benefited a lot from this competition. feeling of joy.
But later, Li Jian's heart sank, and he realized that Yun Xi's murderous intention towards him gradually became stronger!
The power of the sword gradually became vicious, the sword energy became colder, and even the pupils in the woman's eyes became like two black holes. Yunxi herself may not have noticed that she was slowly sinking...
Li Jian sighed, after all, he couldn't push this woman too hard, otherwise she might not be able to control herself today, and she might really be possessed by a demon. In that case, wouldn't he be equivalent to destroying her hard-earned cultivation!
Whatever, then stop it!
…
There was a "ding" sound, and the two swords intersected.
"Miss Yun!"
Before Yunxi could sheath his sword, Li Jian shouted:
"Let's end today's competition. If we continue to compete, we will definitely lose to Li. How about Miss Yun just giving up?"
When he asks to stop, he always has to give the other party some face. Li Jian also knows this now.
Yunxi withdrew her spiritual sword with a cold look. She was boiling with murderous intent and could not control her murderous intentions. She was not willing to stop after listening to Li Jian's words.
Seeing that Yun Xi seemed to be eager to try, Li Jian said again:
"Miss Yun, don't forget that our sword cultivators have the four words 'Sword Heart Self-defense'."
This sentence woke Yun Xi up like a bucket of ice water in her pocket. She looked at Li Jian in confusion. The sword must be guarded, which naturally refers to the sword cultivator always guarding his heart and not being invaded by the devil. I mean, but if Li Jian said it at this time, could it be that... was he in danger of becoming a demon just now?
How did Li Jian figure it out?
Could he actually push himself to this point?
However, at this time, Yunxi himself had slightly woken up. It seemed that he had indeed been too murderous just now but could not kill him. His mood at that time was chaotic, complicated, irritable and difficult to understand, but he was indeed not like his usual self.
After all, we can't do anything today. There will be a chance to confront Li Jian again in the future. I have learned something from this discussion. It is better to go back and study it in detail. If there is any improvement, it will not be too late to look for Li Jian again.
"Okay, but you don't have to be so polite. I can't beat you today."
As he said that, Yunxi glanced at Bai Lin, as if he didn't want to say any more.
When Bai Lin saw it, he quickly flew over to Yun Xi's side.
"Shangjie," Yun Xi looked at the ground and said, "I'll let this go for today. I won't cause you any more trouble in the future."
After saying that, he even ignored An Zhi and Ruan Xie and flew away with Bai Lin!
…
The first to leave were An Zhi and Ruan Xie. They came with Yun Xi and Bai Lin. Now after a fight, they left, leaving them alone to eat with Shang Jie and others. The rolling eyes didn't make sense, so after Yunxi and Bai Lin left, the two of them also said goodbye.
But before leaving, An Zhi said to Tang Ping:
"Junior Sister Tang, Senior Brother today is really an eye-opener. You and the other five have their own methods. They will definitely become famous in the sect and become great people in the future. Junior Brother Li's methods are even more amazing. I am really lucky today." Being able to witness this competition between sword cultivators is still exciting, hehe, I and I are leaving, please take care."
After the two people left, Lu Pingchuan said with some dissatisfaction:
"Hey, Brother Li, you could obviously defeat that woman, why did you let her go in the end?"
Tang Ping pulled his sleeve and indicated that we could talk about this later, so Lu Pingchuan stopped asking further.
The most shocking person this time was Shang Jie and others. After meeting Bai Lin, the boy insulted him verbally, and several people started fighting and then started fighting. However, none of them were the opponent of the female swordsman. Shang Jie Seeing that several of his junior brothers were injured one after another, and it might be a dead end if it continued, he followed his temper and lured the female swordsman away, hoping that his junior brothers would be more clever and escape, but he didn't expect that those boys would lead him all the way. He came over injured, and the next step was to fight with the female swordsman. He was no match for him. He fought hard to get hurt, and even killed both of them. In the end, he only completely angered the female swordsman. He thought he would definitely die. , who knew that a few little guys with low cultivation level came to help halfway. I thought it was these people who were fooling around, but after looking along the way, I realized that their methods were far superior to mine. Of course, they were talking about the one named Li. Sword cultivator, the fight just now was the only one he had seen in his decades of practice. The most regrettable thing for Shang Jie at this time is that he was not spotted by Mu Xiufeng's senior, otherwise he might have such a method. Bar!
Putting aside these feelings, I really owed someone a favor this time. I heard the sword cultivator named Li said that they came to help because Junior Brother Qian had heard of his reputation in the sect, so he came here. Helping hand, from this point of view, the things you usually do to help others are not in vain. Otherwise, how could you survive such a desperate situation like today?
"Junior Brother Qian, Junior Brother Li, everyone, thank you very much for today."
Shang Jie and several others solemnly saluted Qian Chao and others, and Qian Chao and others quickly returned the gift.
"I feel ashamed to say that what happened today is all thanks to a few helping hands. Otherwise, whether we can go back or not is a matter of two minds. We don't know how to repay them for their methods. Well, if there is any place where we can be used in the future, please Even though we say it clearly, we will definitely do our best.”
After chatting with Qian Chao and others for a while, Shang Jie took a few people and flew away with a sigh.
