In fact, the ancestral martial arts of the Shi family has never been known for its strength and dominance. Instead, it has followed the line of agility and flexibility, using softness to overcome strength.
For example, the ancestral technique of the Shi family is called "Luozhao Yanguang Jue";
For example, the ancestral body technique of the Shi family is called "Luohua Feixu";
Another example is the ancestral swordsmanship of the Shi family, called "Caiyun Weiyu Sword";
It's a pity that this girl Shi Xiaohan has become extremely rebellious since she entered puberty.
She doesn't like to practice swordsmanship with her father. Instead, she goes to the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Prefecture to exchange for the "Kunwu Sword" which is more than one meter long and weighs more than ten kilograms and the "Overlord Sword Technique" which is famous for its fierceness and violence. , feeling that these things can better highlight her "heroic temperament".
Because Shi Lei was worried that she wouldn't be able to get married, he pleaded hard in letters more than once, hoping that she could learn some more ladylike moves.
But Shi Xiaohan always disagreed with what he said, repeatedly saying, "This heroine has given up being a damn lady a long time ago" and "I will never marry until ghosts are exterminated."
Of course, just because she likes "Overlord Sword Technique" does not mean that she only knows "Overlord Sword Technique".
Since she is determined to be the final winner tonight, she doesn't mind sacrificing her domineering and fierce "hero" character a little.
So, she used the "Falling Flowers and Flying Catkins" sword technique, and quickly retreated with light steps.
The smoke condensed by Qi Yuanshan's sword energy instantly exploded where she originally stood, bursting out with extremely majestic power.
Shi Xiaohan's eyes were slightly sharp.
She knew that if she did not dodge in time, she would definitely be seriously injured when the sword energy exploded.
…………
Offstage.
Qi Yan, a young man in white clothes, glanced at Gu Xu with a surprised expression: "You're right. I really don't know her well enough."
Gu Xu smiled: "Xiaohan has been staying in Yishui County to kill ghosts in the past few years, and he has not had the experience to compete with the geniuses of Daqi. It is normal for him not to be famous."
"Do you think she can win this contest?"
"She will definitely win the next round."
"You have so much confidence in her?"
"To be precise, I am confident in the difficulty of "Pingtian Sword Art"."
"How difficult is the "Pingtian Sword Art"?" Qi Yan obviously didn't understand what Gu Xu said.
"The "Pingtian Sword Art" is indeed the secret of the sword pavilion. Its power is indeed extraordinary. As long as you learn a little bit of it, you can defeat the monks of the same realm." Gu Xu looked at the ring and analyzed lightly, " However, it is extremely difficult to completely conquer a high-grade martial arts.
"If you cannot fully understand the true meaning of the great path, not only will the moves you perform will be full of loopholes, but it will also consume a lot of true energy.
"The name 'Pingtian Sword Jue' is taken from the poem left by the founder of Jiange before his ascension - 'There is a three-foot sword in the box on the back, serving the sky and showing injustice to people'. The name of Su Xiao's sword in Jiange is The natal sword of the "Three-foot Sword" also got its name from this.
"If I guess correctly, the true meaning of "Pingtian Sword Art" lies in the chivalrous spirit of hating evil as much as hatred, and the determination to eliminate violence and bring peace to the good.
"However, the sword style performed by Qi Yuanshan did not give me such a feeling.
"On the contrary, I feel that he is using his power to overwhelm others - this is obviously contrary to the true meaning of the Great Dao of "Pingtian Sword Art".
"So, after performing the first two moves of the "Pingtian Sword Art", Qi Yuanshan should have run out of energy.
"However, although the moves Shi Xiaohan performed were only mid-level, she mastered them extremely skillfully - the power she could exert in her hands was no less powerful than those of Qi Yuanshan's half-baked sword moves."
Qi Yan listened to his analysis carefully and looked at him with even more surprise.
Although Qi Yan had long known that Gu Xu was well-read and knowledgeable about Taoism, law and martial arts in the world.
But now, while watching the battle, Gu Xu directly analyzed the "true meaning of the avenue", which still surprised Qi Yan.
Qi Yan took a deep breath.
"In my impression, it seems that Mr. Gu also masters a very powerful high-grade spell?"
"The Seven Styles of Burning Heaven," Gu Xu replied calmly. He knew that this was no secret in the capital. "But I am not talented and I only mastered the first style by luck."
…………
While they were talking, the competition between Lai Taishang and the two continued.
After Shi Xiaohan retreated, he did not give his opponent time to breathe.
While Qi Yuanshan was in a daze, she waved the "Kunwu Sword" in her hand again.
But this time, what she used was not the "Overlord Sword Technique", but the move in the "Caiyun Weiyu Sword".
It sounds incredible to use a sword weighing more than ten kilograms to perform the dexterous sword technique of "Caiyun Weiyu Sword".
However, at this moment, the "Kunwu Sword" in her hands looked very light and elegant.
Just because she is so familiar with this "Caiyun Weiyu Sword".
Ever since she started practicing, Shi Lei has been teaching her step by step how to practice this sword technique.
She had already engraved it firmly in her bones.
Even if the sword is replaced by a branch, a wooden stick, or a broom, she can fully display this set of swordsmanship.
As Gu Xu said, the first two moves of "Pingtian Sword Art" consume a lot of Qi Yuanshan's real energy.
Qi Yuanshan was no longer able to use his subsequent moves.
He could only rely on muscle memory and use the basic sword style of Jiange to try to resist Shi Xiaohan's attack.
But his movements were still slow.
The sharp edge of the "Kunwu Sword" quickly pointed at Qi Yuanshan's throat like a ghost.
Qi Yuanshan was stunned for two seconds.
Then he looked at Shi Xiaohan opposite and said, "I lost. Miss Shi's moves are both strong and soft, and I admire her very much."
"Your Excellency's swordsmanship also impresses me." Shi Xiaohan put away his sword and also complimented.
"I heard that when Miss Shi was in Yishui County, she was a colleague of Mr. Gu who saved Qingzhou Mansion." Qi Yuanshan made a request to Shi Xiaohan, "If you see him, can you give him a message for me?" talk?"
"It's easy, of course." Shi Xiaohan nodded.
"My senior brother Su Xiao is very interested in Master Gu," Qi Yuanshan continued. "He very much hopes to meet Master Gu at the Luoshui Conference and discuss the avenue with Master Gu."
"no problem."
After hearing Shi Xiaohan's affirmative reply, Qi Yuanshan turned around and walked down the platform.
He benefited a lot from today's battle.
He decided to retreat and ponder it carefully before the Luoshui Conference, and try to improve the flaws in his swordsmanship as much as possible.
…………
At the same time, Qi Yan once again glanced at Gu Xu next to him with meaningful eyes.
Gu Xu has not yet appeared today.
But his name has been resounding over Luoshui again and again.
(Change first and then change)
ps: Sorry for the lag, this chapter is a bit late. There is another chapter later.
