The sword technique that Zhao Mingyuan used was the Liangyi Divine Sword.
The Liangyi Divine Sword is naturally not like Tai Chi swordsmanship, which is 90% defensive and 10% offensive. Rather, it is both offensive and defensive, just like the rotation of two rituals.
But in Zhao Mingyuan's hands, he can already take into account the advantages of both and transform the offensive and defensive momentum at will.
Therefore, when Zhao Mingyuan made his move, his offensive looked extremely sharp. But when Gong Jiu attacked, it had already turned into a defensive position.
Zhao Mingyuan turned his wrist, and the sword spine was already attached to Gong Jiu's sword. With a slight deflection, Gong Jiu's attack was neutralized by Zhao Mingyuan.
However, this match also allowed Zhao Mingyuan to understand that Gong Jiu's strength was even higher than he expected.
No wonder Wu Ming was not surprised when he saw Zhao Mingyuan's internal strength greatly increased, and guessed that he had eaten some kind of genius treasure.
Gong Jiu's internal strength is also unbelievable. He is actually a young man in his twenties.
Although his internal strength is still slightly inferior to that of Zhao Mingyuan, he still has fifty years of internal strength.
Zhao Mingyuan was not surprised when he thought about it. After all, he was the prince of Prince Taiping. He might have been taking medicinal baths to open up muscles and activate blood circulation since he was a child, and he practiced superior internal power and mental methods.
In addition, there may be some natural treasures such as century-old ginseng and thousand-year-old snow lotus in the palace, so it is not surprising to have such internal power.
However, in the end, Zhao Mingyuan had the upper hand in terms of internal strength.
It's no wonder that Wu Ming would arrange a duel between the two of them so quickly. I'm afraid that if the delay continues, the difference in strength between the two will only become even greater. Then Gong Jiu didn't have to fight, he could just abandon his sword and admit defeat.
However, the outcome of the battle is not just as simple as the amount of internal strength. How many people with deep internal strength have died from a simple move with a quick sword.
And Gong Jiu's sword is really incredibly fast. And not just fast, but more ruthless.
Gong Jiu's sword is indeed as cold, ruthless, and even crazy as his people, and there are endless moves to exchange lives for lives.
Zhao Mingyuan knew that he had the Tianzhu Rebirth Skill, so he wanted to trade his injuries for his life.
Zhao Mingyuan naturally has it too, but this is not his own style.
If Zhao Mingyuan fought like that, he would just be dragged into his rhythm by Gong Jiu, and then he would be defeated by Gong Jiu who had more experience.
In fact, protracted battles are what Zhao Mingyuan is good at.
In fact, even if the Jade Rakshasa's offensive made Zhao Mingyuan retreat repeatedly, it could not break through his protection.
But now, Zhao Mingyuan has made greater progress in both his swordsmanship and internal strength, and it is even more difficult for Gong Jiu to break through.
No matter how fast and powerful Gong Jiu's sword is, it is always in vain.
Even if he wanted to fight tooth and nail, trading injury for injury, life for life, his moves even revealed major flaws.
However, Zhao Mingyuan still protected his whole body with his sword firmly, not to be tempted by him.
After all, when it comes to flaws, no one knows it better than Zhao Mingyuan.
Unable to attack for a long time, Gong Jiu's expression became more and more crazy, and he continuously used dozens of sets of sword techniques to attack fiercely, some were fierce, some were strange, some were light, some were misty.
Some of the sword techniques Zhao Mingyuan had seen in the Sutra Pavilion, some had even been learned, and some had never been seen before.
However, no matter how Gong Jiu's sword style changed, he could never break through the three feet in front of Zhao Mingyuan.
The profit cannot last long.
Zhao Mingyuan's internal energy was originally deeper than Gong Jiu's, but Gong Jiu kept attacking fiercely, and his internal energy consumption was greater than his own. As long as you persist, you will almost certainly win. Why take the risk?
Zhao Mingyuan is not in a hurry.
This is the strategy chosen to deal with Gong Jiu's character flaws.
And Gong Jiu seems to know that if he continues, his consumption will only become greater and greater, and his chances of winning will become smaller and smaller.
Gong Jiu never thought that he would lose.
Because he has been able to get everything he wants and do anything he wants to do since he was a child.
Except for his master Wu Ming, he has never lost and does not believe that anyone can beat him.
In his heart, Wu Ming was no longer a human being, but a god or a demon. So losing to gods and demons is nothing.
But now, the opposite person is just an ordinary person, and he may actually win.
How is this possible? How can I lose?
And he was actually about to lose to Zhao Mingyuan in front of almost everyone on the island.
For Gong Jiu, this was almost more unbearable than death.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
I will never lose.
Even death.
Gong Jiu suddenly exuded a wild aura, and stabbed Zhao Mingyuan with a sword with red eyes. The sword was faster and stronger, and Zhao Mingyuan was almost knocked away by Gong Jiu's sword.
Zhao Mingyuan was very familiar with Gong Jiu's state. This was exactly what it looked like to activate the Blood Burning Technique.
Unexpectedly, Gong Jiu actually used this secret method.
Indeed, if it continues to develop, Gong Jiu will lose, or in other words, die.
In comparison, the blood-burning method only consumes some energy and blood and damages life span, which is still acceptable.
Feeling Gong Jiu's momentum, Zhao Mingyuan also understood that he could no longer hide his clumsiness.
Zhao Mingyuan also released the same momentum. Of course, it was not the blood-burning method, but Zhao Mingyuan's improved blood-burning rebirth technique, which had fewer sequelae.
Moreover, Zhao Mingyuan has used secret techniques many times and is already familiar with the feeling of a sudden increase in internal power. Unlike Gong Jiu who used it for the first time, a lot of internal energy was lost in vain.
As a result, the two of them also used the secret method to double their internal strength, but the result was an even greater gap.
If Gong Jiu originally had 50 years of internal power, now his power has doubled, becoming 100 years of internal power.
However, Zhao Mingyuan's internal strength doubled from 60 years to 120 years, and the gap changed from 10 years to 20 years.
After 20 years of skill, this can no longer be easily changed by skills.
Coupled with the surge in strength after using the secret technique, Gong Jiu's control was greatly reduced and he was unable to exert his full strength. Naturally, it is not as good as Zhao Mingyuan, who is already familiar with this situation.
Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan naturally counterattacked to defend.
After all, although the blood-burning rebirth skill has few side effects, if it continues for too long, it will still cause serious damage to your body.
He is still Zhao Mingyuan's favorite and the most powerful flying immortal.
Although he did not take advantage of the terrain to gain a commanding position, driven by more than a hundred years of skill, he was already invincible. The sword force had locked onto Gong Jiu, making it impossible for him to escape.
Naturally, Gong Jiu would not escape. At this point, feeling that he was about to be defeated, Gong Jiu burned all his energy and blood crazily, condensed it into a sword, and stabbed Zhao Mingyuan.
No matter whether he wins or loses with this sword, Gong Jiu, who has burned out all his energy and blood, will definitely die. He just wants Zhao Mingyuan to be buried with him.
Unfortunately, God did not let him do what he wished for.
Facing Gong Jiu's vigorous sword attack, Zhao Mingyuan, who had already gathered his inner strength for hundreds of years to strike out with a sword, was able to change again. He actually turned an arc around Gong Jiu's sword and deflected Gong Jiu's sword. Move to one side.
Gong Jiu's sword had already been launched but could not be withdrawn. He actually rushed out with his sword at an angle, until he was more than ten feet away. The remaining momentum did not subside, and he was nailed to a huge rock.
Fortunately, the island was full of experts and they were far away. They escaped in time, so no one was injured.
Since Gong Jiu nailed his sword to the boulder, there has been no movement.
Someone boldly stepped forward to investigate and discovered that he was already dead.
Yes, Gong Jiu was not stabbed by Zhao Mingyuan, nor was he injured in any way. He died because he had burned out all his energy and blood.
Probably until his death, Gong Jiu never thought that he would die completely in his own hands.
