Sect Leader Su approved Su Ye's request to hold a martial arts competition, and all matters were handled by Su Ye. He only asked that he return to Su's family immediately after the martial arts competition to listen to the lessons.
Su Ye insisted on coming to the school gathering. Faced with his father's request, he readily agreed.
In the next few days, it was about setting up the arena, handling various affairs, and spreading news. The preparation process was more complicated than originally thought. Su Ye was very busy, and finally arranged it with the support of the Su family and the help of Sheng Xuanyuan and others. appropriate. Because there were so many chores during the period, the four of them had very little time to practice and get along. In the end, even Qiong Yi had to joke: "If you really want to find someone to compete with, it's better to just make an appointment. Why go to such trouble? Look at Su Ye, he's tired." What's going on?"
The disciples in the gathering are very interested in the martial arts test that will be held in a few days. Most of the disciples have the mentality of having two games for fun and want to meet the younger generation of masters today. A few people are just looking for fun. He laughed sarcastically at what tricks Su Ye could pull off.
When these words reached Su Ye's ears, he laughed and said: Just wait and see what kind of thing can be done.
Just like that, three days later, the martial arts competition began.
Yue Huan, who is known as the "No. 1 Sword of Beishan", has received the most invitations to fight, with a total of twenty or thirty invitations. Sheng Xuanyuan, who has a less famous name, has also received a lot of invitations to fight. There were thirteen letters in total, Yue Huan alone wrote seven to him, Qiong also sent one, and others were miscellaneous. Disciples who had never met each other successively added five letters.
Qiong Yi looked at the battle invitation he received and laughed: Mr. Yue is really sincere. After learning about the martial arts competition, he came to send you one every day, for fear that you would forget.
Yue Huan is the eldest son of his father-in-law, and he is the leader in cultivation in Beishan generation. He has a handsome appearance, a tall and burly figure, and is calm and quiet. In the eyes of everyone, he is definitely in the same category as Sheng Xuanyuan.
Sheng Xuanyuan rubbed his eyebrows. He was not a warlike person. It was not so much that he was not wary, but rather that he didn't like martial arts at all. But since he accepted the invitation, he would naturally respond.
Turning back to his words, Yue Huan stood in another section outside the stadium, looking at Sheng Xuanyuan from a distance. There was an unbearable wave of emotion at the moment. Sheng Xuanyuan did not show weakness and looked at Yue Huan. Su Ye followed his gaze and said with a smile: "Hey! Yue Huan's momentum is so impressive. Don't get beaten in the first game."
Yan Tingshen smiled and said nothing.
Sheng Xuanyuan withdrew his gaze, looked around, and saw Qiong Yi among the surrounding disciples. She squeezed in front of the crowd, and beside her were her junior brothers and sisters, who were waving to her from a distance and making several gestures in succession, probably to cheer him on.
Sheng Xuanyuan slowly walked onto the stage. At the same time, Yue Huan also came on stage. Standing on the other side of the stage, he was carrying a heavy sword. The sword was more than half a foot wide and three feet long. The blade was blunt but had a murderous look. Qi, one look at it shows that it has seen blood, it is a typical Yue family sword.
"The Ziding Sword is as heavy as a tripod. Its body is strong and tough, and the sword's light is far more powerful than its blade." Yan Ting said deeply, "It doesn't look like it will be easy."
"Just knowing that Yue Huan is a martial arts fanatic with extraordinary strength, I specially arranged for the first match." Su Ye looked at the arena from a distance, crossed his arms and smiled.
There are more and more people watching. In addition to the children of various families, there are also quite a few residents of Qingfeng Town who come to join in the fun.
"Look, it's Sheng Xuanyuan and Yue Huan!"
"Oh! Such a big battle? Isn't this the first day?"
"I heard this is the first one!"
"Interesting."
The crowd was noisy and focused their attention on the ring. After seeing the two men on the stage, the referee struck the gong to signal the start of the competition.
The moment the gongs and drums sounded "dang--", Sheng Xuanyuan drew out the Shadow Bearing Sword and stepped forward. The sword's light was sharp and he struck cleanly, leaving no chance for reaction. Yue Huan was obviously at a disadvantage when he started his attack. Ziding's heavy sword blocked it and he was forced to retreat.
Seeing this, Sheng Xuanyuan took advantage of the victory and pursued him. The wind of his sword was fierce, as fast as thunder and lightning. Yue Huan danced his sword in a pattern. After stimulating his internal energy, his sword glowed brightly. After catching the cold light, he used the power of his heavy sword to slash forward.
This cut was like the rolling of Mount Tai, with extraordinary power. Sheng Xuanyuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, concentrated on the sword, and went straight forward. The Chengying Sword revealed some inconspicuous green light, and collided with the Ziding Sword.
The two swords clashed with each other and the stalemate continued. Sheng Xuanyuan swung his sword. Yue Huan saw that the situation was not right and flicked away the Shadow Sword. The Ziding Sword slashed forward and then left his hand. He jumped into the air and spun around in the air to dodge a few times. Dao sword energy immediately fell to the ground, he held the big sword and made another horizontal slash. The slash was as powerful as Sheng Xuanyuan's sword. Yue Huan was shocked and retreated to distance himself from him.
The spectators were in an uproar: "What's going on! The fight was back and forth!"
"What comes and goes, don't you see that Sheng Xuanyuan has the upper hand?"
"It's just the beginning, don't be in a hurry, take your time and watch."
On stage.
Yue Huan's face slightly condensed and he said solemnly: "Ji Chen's swordsmanship is truly worthy of its reputation."
Sheng Xuanyuan swung his sword slowly and uttered two words: "Wonderful praise."
Yue Huan rushed towards him with his sword in hand, making a secret with one hand. The sword light dispersed in the form of multiple swords. He suddenly jumped up and struck a sword from the air. The sword light fell to the ground faster than his body. Sheng Xuanyuan quickly avoided each other and hid. When those sword blades condensed with true energy flashed behind Yue Huan, the true energy gathered at the end of the sword, and the sword's green light was dazzling, and it struck him.
So fast! Yue Huan gritted his teeth: It's impossible to hide them all!
He turned around to block part of the sword energy, and was shaken by the aftermath, causing him to do some somersaults and fall backwards. The Ziding Sword slammed into the ring for a foot before he could stabilize his body.
The sword is as powerful as me, but it can still be so fast? Yue Huan's heart sank. He had originally thought that his epee training had reached this level. Compared with Sheng Xuanyen, who never showed off his skills, not to mention making the other party feel troublesome, at least they were equally powerful and indistinguishable, right? I didn’t expect that with just a few moves, my decline would be so obvious!
"Isn't it right? Isn't Yue Huan known as the best swordsman in Beishan?"
"Maybe he is self-proclaimed! Haha!"
"Don't make sarcastic remarks. It's because your opponent is difficult."
"Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that these two people are not familiar with each other's swordsmanship. Yue Huan has kicked the iron plate."
"I didn't expect that Sheng Xuanyuan would be so difficult to deal with..."
"..."
Yue Huan had just stabilized his body when he raised his head and saw Sheng Xuanyuan stabbing him with his sword. He seriously refused to give him a chance to breathe. Seeing this, the corner of his mouth raised, and then turned into a laugh and shouted: "Hahahaha! Sheng Xuanyuan, I am so right to find you for this fight!" He stepped on the ground, cracks appeared on the ground, and the two of them were sword-fighting. When they collided, sparks flew everywhere, and for a moment the figures were intertwined, and the fight was hearty.
"What's the name of this style?" Yue Huan transformed his strong sword energy and asked.
Sheng Xuanyuan replied coldly: "The first level of the Jichen Sword, the first style, 'Horizontal Barrier'."
The spectators in the distance exploded: "First style? Isn't that too disrespectful?"
"First style? How is it possible?"
"Is there a way to stimulate generals?"
Yue Huan's face darkened. At this point in the battle, his true energy had been exhausted to only 40% to 50%. Hearing these words, his face became even more angry. He saw that the person in front of him had no flaws. Xuan Yuan had to retreat and dodge, but Yue Huan swayed. Seeing this flaw, Sheng Xuan Yuan thrust out his sword quickly, but he fell down and stepped back.
Sheng Xuanyuan saw that although he looked tired, he did not back away continuously. He frowned and suddenly felt that there was a trick. Yue Huan stepped heavily on the ground. He clenched the sword in his hand and closed his eyes. A strong wind suddenly rose from the soles of his feet. In an instant, it was centered around itself and spread outwards. Sheng Xuanyuan's figure stagnated and he retreated. After taking a step to steady his body, he realized that he had been lured into the sword domain.
Su Ye saw Sheng Xuanyuan's movements slowing down by an unknown amount, and said in surprise: "What is this? Is it the 'Sword Domain'!..."
"There are so many talented people in the Yue family." Elder Su, who was watching the battle, sighed as he twirled his long beard.
Yue Huan was well aware of the disadvantages of his swordsmanship. Although he was capable of strong attack and defense, it was difficult to restrict his opponent's movements, especially against his agile disciples. Since he was a child, he had made it his goal to practice the sword's strength, and he practiced with great concentration, and finally transformed his sword's strength into the sword realm.
"Senior sister, this..." Lu Li was stunned.
This was also the first time Qiong Yi saw such a move. She clenched her fists and kept her eyes on Sheng Xuanyuan's motionless figure.
The body is very heavy.
Sheng Xuanyuan gripped the Chengying Sword tightly, but felt that he was weighing a thousand pounds and could not move. In front of him, Yue Huan was walking step by step, and the sound of the sword's blade was heard in his ears. "If I can use this move, Brother Sheng is really the best among young talents." Yue Huan breathed heavily, and it took him a long time to calm down. He gripped the Ziding sword and slashed quickly, and Sheng Xuanyuan raised his sword to connect. , due to the extremely slow speed of the sword field pressure, he barely blocked the sword, and it was extremely difficult to take steps back. He leaned back to avoid attacking at all, and did not bother to attack the defender.
There was another heavy sword slash. Sheng Xuanyuan had already roughly observed the sword field while dodging. Among them was the sword wind transformed by Yue Huan's true energy, and the wall of the field was the sword gang.
Defeating him in the Sword Domain seems to be a bit difficult and may cause injuries, so it is not cost-effective. Sheng Xuan said resentfully, if it was just Jian Gang...
He tried his best to activate the true energy in his body, and after forcefully getting rid of the pressure of the sword domain, he suppressed Yue Huan's two swords, took a deep breath, shouted, and raised his sword to strike.
"嚓——"
Yue Huan was shocked, as if he heard porcelain tiles shattering, falling piece by piece in front of him, and perishing into nothingness. It was already too late to think about moving forward.
Unbelievable and helpless.
"'One Line of Sky'." Sheng Xuanyuan said lightly.
Yue Huan knew that this was the last move of Shengjia Jichen Sword to break through the sky. He slowly put the Ziding Sword into the scabbard in the disappearing sword field.
"I lost." Yue Huan said.
"If my last sword was delayed even a moment, I would be the one defeated." Sheng Xuan said resentfully, "Brother Yue Huan, you are very strong."
Yue Huan laughed and said, "Thank you." Then he put away his smile and said sternly: "Sheng Xuanyuan, you hide it so deeply. I will always use you as my opponent in the future."
Sheng Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows: "If you want to use me as your opponent, you should first outdo me in terms of cultivation."
The implication is that he does not regard him as an opponent at this time.
Yue Huan's face darkened, he turned and walked away.
After the referee sounded the gong and registered the victory, the two left the field. The viewers were naturally watching with great interest, talking about the unexpected sword field and the final move that split the sword field.
Su Ye stretched out and said, "It would be a pity not to keep such a move behind as a trump card."
"Both, right?" Yan Ting looked deeply at the next round of competition that was about to begin, "Whoever faces Yue Huan in the future will pay attention to that move."
"Yes, but he only used it this time, so there are no clues. Sheng Xuanyuan is much more difficult to target."
After Qiong Yi saw the referee announcing the winner, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She said a few words to Yang Xiaosi and Lu Li beside her and then walked through the crowd to find Sheng Xuanyuan.
Sheng Xuanyuan didn't go far. Hearing the familiar footsteps behind him, he turned around and waited for her to approach.
"Sheng Kyung, are you okay?"
"fine."
"Are you going back?" Qiong Yi frowned.
"Why don't you stay and watch the competition for a while?" Sheng Xuanyuan asked her.
Qiong also shook his head.
After Sheng Xuanyuan noticed the glances and trivial discussions around her, he blocked her with his back and said, "Let's go."
