At sunset, in the bamboo forest outside the city, Bai Yuxian and Pei Shengnan stood facing each other with swords in hand.
"Brother Bai wants to take this opportunity to dissuade me from participating in this martial arts course."
Pei Shengnan said with a smile, looking at Bai Yuxian in front of her, who was dressed in white as jade. At this time, she already knew the purpose of Bai Yuxian and Li Bai.
"Brother Li and I know that although Brother Pei is born as a girl, he has the ambition of a man. With Brother Pei's strength, there are indeed few men in the world who can compare with Brother Pei. However, this is ultimately a lie. I hope Brother Pei will think twice. "
"Of course, I also know that it will be difficult for Brother Li to give up easily. So, why don't I have a trial with Brother Pei today? I believe that Brother Pei has only one goal in participating in martial arts this time. Wu Zhuangyuan, if Brother Pei loses this competition, then there is no need to participate in the martial arts competition again, I don’t know what Brother Pei wants.”
Bai Yuxian said with a smile. At the same time, he also had some expectations for the legendary Pei family's swordsmanship. After all, Pei Min, as the current sword master, is known as the best swordsman in the world. It can be imagined that the swordsmanship must be extraordinary.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Pei Shengnan did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed after hearing Bai Yuxian's words.
Because Bai Yuxian guessed her thoughts very well. Her main goal when she came to the capital to take the martial arts examination was to win the first prize in martial arts. If even Bai Yuxian couldn't win today, then it would be natural for her to continue to participate in the martial arts examination. It makes no sense anymore.
And although she has ambitions to be a man and is somewhat dissatisfied with the world, she wants to prove who said women are inferior to men through this martial arts examination.
But she had to admit that what Bai Yuxian said was true. If she disguised herself as a man to participate in the martial arts examination, if it were exposed, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. The consequences would be serious not only for herself, but also for many people. Then he was implicated.
If she really loses to Bai Yuxian today, it may not be a good thing for her.
"I have long heard that Brother Bai is both civil and military. Not only is he extremely talented, but his cultivation strength is also among the best among his peers. I just want to ask for advice today."
"The Jade Immortal has also heard of the fame of the Pei family's swordsmanship for a long time and asked for advice today."
As they spoke, the two of them bowed to each other.
Gao Shi, who was standing with Li Bai outside the court, looked at Pei Shengnan in confusion.
Pei Shengnan is actually a woman? !
He had not noticed this at all before, and had no idea at all. After all, Pei Shengnan had an Adam's apple.
As a result, he didn't know until Li Bai called him here just now that Pei Shengnan was actually a woman, and Pei Twelve was not Pei Shengnan's real name.
Uh-huh!
At this time, Bai Yuxian and Pei Shengnan, who were holding swords in the field, also moved.
Pei Shengnan took the lead, and his figure turned into an afterimage almost instantly. The naked eye could hardly keep up with Pei Shengnan's speed, and he attacked Bai Yuxian in an instant.
The sharp sword light cut through the vacuum like lightning and went straight to the white jade fairy face door.
"So fast!"
Gao Shi couldn't help but his pupils shrank violently in an instant.
As the saying goes, an expert will know if something is there as soon as he makes a move.
Just Pei Shengnan's sword, I am afraid that it would be difficult for anyone under the ordinary martial arts Xuangang to resist, because the speed is beyond what ordinary martial artists under the Xuangang martial arts can react.
But Pei Shengnan's sword is faster, and Bai Yuxian's sword is faster.
Gao Shi only saw Pei Shengnan attack Bai Yuxian in an instant and the sword edge was about to fall on Bai Yuxian. Then he saw that the Junzi Sword in Bai Yuxian's hand had taken action and blocked Pei Shengnan's sword edge with incomparable accuracy. And then quickly counterattacked towards Pei Shengnan's face.
The long sword in Pei Shengnan's hand also changed its moves.
"Dang Dang Dang -"
He only heard a series of sounds of swords clashing. In the short period of lightning and flint, even Gao Shi felt that his eyes had not completely looked over. He could only see the interlacing sword light and sword energy in his sight. Bai Yuxian and Pei Shengnan were I have fought dozens of sword fights directly.
The swordsmanship of Bai Yuxian and Pei Shengnan both stood out in one word.
quick!
As the saying goes, all martial arts in the world are invincible, except speed.
In fact, it is not only swordsmanship, but also for the warriors in this world, whether it is swordsmanship, swordsmanship, marksmanship, etc.
In the final analysis, the main things we pay attention to are fast, accurate and profitable.
Especially speed is the top priority.
After all, life and death fights between warriors often involve close combat, and life and death can be determined in an instant. If you don't strike quickly or slowly, people will have already killed you by the time you strike.
When warriors attack, they only focus on killing with one blow. There are not too many bells and whistles. After all, they are not monks.
The fight between Bai Yuxian and Pei Shengnan became faster and faster.
By the end, the speed of the two men's attacks was so high that it was completely unclear. All they could see was the endless sword energy erupting from the sword edges of the two men's swords, almost razing the bamboo forest with a radius of dozens of meters to the ground.
"Is this the strength of the martial arts Xuangang realm?"
Gao Shi's heart was shaken and shocked, but at the same time he couldn't help but yearn for it.
His current cultivation level is already at the peak of martial arts. If he can go further, he will be able to break through to the realm of martial arts Xuan Gang.
Bai Yuxian and Pei Shengnan fought, and they quickly hit from the ground to the top of the bamboo in the air, and then from the top of the bamboo to the ground.
The sword energy is flowing freely in his hand, splitting gold and breaking stones.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Li Bai was holding a jug of wine nearby, drinking and watching with gusto, as if watching a blockbuster movie.
However, the fight between Bai Yuxian and Pei Shengnan was indeed exciting. After all, it was a fight between two masters of the Xuangang Realm of martial arts, and they were both masters of swordsmanship.
Through the fight, Bai Yuxian also completely understood Pei Shengnan's cultivation strength.
Pei Shengnan's cultivation level should be at the second level of Xuangang Martial Arts, but his swordsmanship is extraordinary, probably the same as when he was at the eighth level of the "Jiyi Sword Code" before. If his specific combat power is combined, he is at the fourth level of Xuangang Martial Arts. Even the masters may not be able to beat Pei Shengnan.
If Bai Yuxian and Li Bai are put aside, among the younger generation in the world, there may not be anyone who can beat Pei Shengnan.
Bai Yuxian couldn't help but admire that a woman could cultivate her martial arts and swordsmanship to this point at a similar age to him. This natural strength was truly astonishing.
In comparison, Nangong Xue, who was known as the proud daughter of heaven, is really as good as Pei Shengnan in terms of martial arts talent.
Nangong Xue was originally known as the proud daughter of heaven, with outstanding talent in martial arts, and she was very good at martial arts at a young age, but compared with Pei Shengnan in front of her, she was not even the slightest bit worse.
"clang!"
Finally, a moment later, with a crisp sound, the long sword in Pei Shengnan's hand was knocked out by Bai Yuxian's sword, and he tasted the consequences of defeat.
Pei Shengnan stared at the empty palm in his hand and the long sword that flew out and was stuck on the ground for a long time. He suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of emptiness in his heart, as if he had lost his life goal in an instant.
Since she was a child, her talent in martial arts and swordsmanship has far exceeded that of ordinary people. Even her father, Sword Master Pei Min, personally praised her talent as being even better than him. Unfortunately, she was born as a girl. For this reason, the entire Pei family also It's such a pity.
Because of this, Pei Shengnan has always been angry and secretly vowed to prove that women must be inferior to men.
Therefore, she has been practicing hard since she was a child. The purpose of coming to Beijing this time is to participate in the martial arts examination and compete for the top prize in martial arts to thoroughly prove herself.
But at this moment, before taking part in the martial arts examination, he was defeated by Bai Yuxian. This made Pei Shengnan suddenly feel as if he had lost the meaning of his life goals for an instant.
He failed.
Then in the future, will I continue to work hard to cultivate? What is the meaning of my own efforts to cultivate?
What is the meaning of my next life?
Pei Shengnan couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Bai Yuxian also noticed Pei Shengnan's expression, and roughly guessed what Pei Shengnan was thinking, but she didn't know how to comfort him.
After all, the society of this era is such that men are superior to women. Pei Shengnan's arrogant idea of proving that women are no worse than men is doomed to be impossible, unless she can become the empress, but this is obviously impossible.
There is only one empress, and it is almost impossible to duplicate her.
Bai Yuxian could only smile.
"Brother Pei has extraordinary strength and superb swordsmanship, and Yuxian admires him. However, in today's competition, Yuxian was slightly better after all, so he accepted."
After hearing Bai Yuxian's words, Pei Shengnan came back to his senses, suppressed the empty emotions in his heart and forced a smile.
"Brother Bai gave in with humility. I am convinced that I lost this battle."
Pei Shengnan knew that Bai Yuxian had already given in to him during the fight and did not use her full strength. Otherwise, she would lose faster. Whether it was cultivation or swordsmanship, Bai Yuxian would be better than her.
"Yu Xian can understand Brother Pei's mood to some extent. Brother Pei doesn't like to listen to comfort words, and he doesn't need Brother Pei. But there is one thing. I think if Brother Pei thinks about today's affairs from another angle, You will feel better if you get it." Bai Yuxian said again.
"Oh?" Pei Shengnan suddenly became interested and looked at Bai Yuxian.
"Brother Pei might as well think about it. Although he lost to me today, if I win the first prize in martial arts after the martial arts examination in a few days, then even if brother Pei loses today, he will only lose to the first prize in martial arts."
"There is no shame in losing to Wu Zhuangyuan."
Bai Yuxian said half-jokingly.
Pei Shengnan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then carefully looked at the handsome face of Bai Yuxian in front of him, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Bai is right. It is indeed not shameful to lose to the top martial arts champion. But in this case, then Brother Bai must win the top prize in martial arts in this martial arts competition."
"Brother Pei will not be disappointed."
"Okay, then I've made an agreement. Next, I will watch Brother Bai's performance in the capital and wait for the good news from Brother Bai."
Pei Shengnan nodded again, as if he had made an agreement with Bai Yuxian.
And now looking at Bai Yuxian's handsome face in front of her, she suddenly felt that losing to Bai Yuxian was not a bad thing.
