Faced with Meng Tian’s toughness, Gai Nie stopped trying to persuade him, his eyes sank slightly, and finally said, “It’s a pity...”
After the words fell, the invisible and colorless sword energy spread quietly on the wooden sword. Meng Tian couldn't see it, but he could feel it, the biting chill that made his whole body tremble.
This is the killing intent of the Sword Master, but it is more than just killing intent. Even Meng Tian, who has been on the battlefield for decades, is trembling with fear.
However, this is just a stress response caused by physical stimulation, and is not controlled by Meng Tian's subjective will. His current mentality is actually good, and he can still laugh at this time:
"Sir wants to kill me...I'm afraid it's not that simple."
As Meng Tian's words fell, Gai Nie suddenly raised his head and looked forward. At the same moment, a powerful infuriating energy suddenly burst out in front of him.
The scorching blue Qi was like a ghost fire from the underworld, giving almost no reaction time, and appeared in an instant less than an arm's length in front of Gai Nie.
Such an urgent attack still did not cause any emotional ups and downs in Gai Nie. He blocked with a backhand indifferently. After a few wild swings, the dark yellow wooden sword flashed in the air in a dazzling trajectory, blocking it with ease.
Lost all the energy.
However, this blue infuriating energy is very sticky. Although most of it was directly scattered, a small part was still attached to this fragile wooden sword.
It seems that this true energy is floating like a flame. In fact, it does not burn Gai Nie's wooden sword, but it does damage this ordinary wooden sword.
At this time, Gai Nie did not care about protecting his new weapon, and his eyes quickly turned to one side. He saw Meng Tian behind him not accurately seizing the opportunity, and took advantage of the situation to slash at him with his sword.
This sword poses no threat to Ganie, but he does have to give in.
Gai Nie tapped his foot lightly, dodged Meng Tian's attack with a back flip, passed him again, and then stepped on the horse's head without stopping for a moment, using the force to fly backwards.
The moment Gai Nie retreated, a short figure rushed out from the army. The five fingers of his right hand were pressed together in front of his chest. The rich zhenqi condensed in his palm, turning into a deep purple zhenqi straight sword.
, wide at the bottom and wide at the top, like an elongated triangular pyramid. The whole thing looks illusory and hazy, with its specific shape erratic, like air or fog.
It is one of the most powerful and profound Yin-Yang techniques of the Yin-Yang family - gathering energy to form a blade!
The identity of this short figure is naturally revealed. Among the two five elders and seven masters of the Yin and Yang family, there are indeed five elders, one is vacant, and the other is double yellow. Only one person is good at the art of gathering energy to form a blade, and that is Zuo
The Guardian Star Soul—he is the only one so short.
In fact, the characteristic of being tall is more recognizable.
I don't know whether it was because he was too short, weighed less, had less inertia, or because the Yin Yang family's Qinggong was relatively strong. Xinghun easily caught up with Gai Nie who was retreating. After getting close, he passed the air blade in his hand forward.
.
Gai Nie easily deflected Star Soul's attack, but was unable to close the distance between the two parties, and he got closer.
After the two sides exchanged several moves, Xinghun didn't take advantage of him at all, but the two of them were almost fighting hand-to-hand.
And this is exactly what Star Soul wants.
Gathering energy to form a blade, Xinghun always said that he used sword skills, but in fact, in his hands, the weapon he used was closer to a short-handed weapon that was one inch short and one inch dangerous.
Of course, if the enemy's strength is inferior to him, he can do whatever he wants, and there is no need to be limited in how to use it. But as for Gai Nie's strength... Although Xinghun is very conceited, he is not so conceited as to look down on the best swordsman in the world.
After getting close, the length of the wooden sword in Gai Nie's hand was fixed, and he could only use exquisite swordsmanship to defend against and resolve attacks that were too close. However, the air blade in Xinghun's hand was gathered and dispersed by the heart. It rose when he thought about it, and scattered when he thought about it.
It's up to him to decide whether he's strong or weak. With a flip of his hand, the blue air blade can attack Gai Nie from any undefeable corner.
In this case, even Gai Nie can only do anything, so he can only dodge first.
The two of them were just above this mid-air, moving and entangled within a few inches.
It is clearly visible that the blue-purple true energy of the Star Soul is flowing around the two of them. As his thoughts fly and flow, one second it gathers energy and becomes a blade, and the next moment it disperses and turns into energy.
During this process, Gai Nie kept flying up and down, leaning left and right, lowering his waist, or turning sideways, mostly dodging.
This kind of close combat is often faster and more dangerous.
In just over ten breaths, the two have fought for no less than ten rounds. The whole process can be said to be full of dangers, especially for Gai Nie, who seems to be in danger of overturning at any time.
Fortunately, it only looks like it.
This close sword fight ended with the two of them exchanging sword blows, and Gai Nie took advantage of the situation to pull away and retreat.
The star soul is light and floating, slowly and calmly falling from the mid-air.
After landing, Gai Nie glanced at the zhenqi stained on the sword, but still didn't rush to clean it up.
Opposite him, Xinghun had no intention of giving up.
In the previous confrontation, overall he had the upper hand, which made the already conceited Lord Zuo of the Yin Yang Family even more confident.
"Ha!"
Following Xinghun's disdainful sneer, his left and right hands were simultaneously covered with thick blue energy. The energy moved freely and turned into two air blades in the blink of an eye. Then he immediately stepped forward and rushed towards Gai Nie.
.
Gai Nie hit the wooden sword with a wave of his hand, and faced him bravely without any intention of giving in.
This time, it was a real swordsmanship showdown, with Xinghun’s double swords facing off against Gai Nie’s single sword.
The two men's moves were all so fast that they were difficult to detect with the naked eye. In addition, the Star Soul had its own light pollution. Even if Meng Tian looked at it from a distance, he could only see a messy blue-purple light and shadow.
Three weapons that were constantly clashing, two air blades, and a wooden sword, did not contain any metal elements, but they made a large clanking sound of gold and iron, as if there was a group of armed mobs fighting.
.
This time, Ge Nie, who was not in an inconvenient position in the air to exert force, gave Star Soul no chance to get close. The two sides always maintained a normal fighting distance and could only compete openly and openly with their abilities.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Gai Nie used simple and unpretentious swordsmanship throughout the whole process, not even the slightest bit of sword energy leaked out. He only wrapped the wooden sword with layers of true energy and launched the attack calmly and fiercely.
Although Xinghun can no longer engage with Gai Nie's "short weapons", he still has tricks. The air blade in his palm is sometimes long and sometimes short, sometimes a sword and sometimes a knife. Sometimes it looks like an ordinary sword, and sometimes it turns into a curved weapon several meters long.
Use a broadsword to attack from a distance.
As expected, Xinghun quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Although he was the one who took the initiative to attack, after just a few moves, he lost almost all the initiative and could only passively deal with Gai Nie's offensive.
During this period, he also tried to distance himself, using his infuriating sword that could be stretched to several feet in length to ease the situation, but unfortunately it only delayed one and a half moves, which was meaningless.
In the end, Gai Nie performed four consecutive attacks without leaving any chance to breathe, and was lifted high into the air, causing his body to become unbalanced.
Of course, he himself would not use the situation that Ganie worked so hard to create.
He chased after him and accurately calculated the landing point of the star soul, and it was a straight thrust that would never return.
Xinghun used the force to flip back in mid-air and reorganized his posture. He naturally caught a glimpse of Gai Nie's move and was prepared in advance.
Gai Nie's calculation was spot on. Just before the star soul was about to touch the ground, the tip of the wooden sword pierced the opponent's abdomen.
Xinghun's preparation was just right. He gathered Qi with both hands in his belly, and blocked Gai Nie's wooden sword with his tyrannical Qi.
If he were facing the famous sword Yuan Hong, this operation would most likely only be able to barely prevent him from being stabbed directly, but what Gai Nie is holding now is just a blunt wooden sword without an edge.
, just blocking it with true energy is enough.
Xinghun, whose feet had not really touched the ground, was inevitably pushed back by Gai Nie's force. After more than ten steps in a row, he finally managed to stop his decline, and the two sides entered a state of wrestling.
However, Gai Nie had no intention of competing with him like this, so he changed his thrust into teasing, directly lifting Xinghun and flipping him backwards.
However, at this moment, Xinghun, who was standing upside down, counterattacked with a backhand sword, temporarily forcing Gai Nie back a few steps and giving himself a chance to breathe when he landed.
After he landed and stood still, Gai Nie's sword struck him again, carrying an unstoppable forward momentum. The distance of ten steps was instantly crossed, and the edge of the wooden sword went straight towards the star soul from bottom to top.
Come through the door.
He had expected it, and he calmly raised his hand to gather energy and condense the blades, crossing them into a cross, and blocking the wooden sword from top to bottom.
The power of this sword was not inferior to the previous four consecutive strikes. Star Soul was knocked away again, and the whole person was thrown high in the air.
But this time, he was already prepared. Without any confusion, he adjusted his posture in the air. His Dantian was filled with Qi. He put his hands together and rotated forward to accumulate strength. All the Qi in his body surged and gathered in his palms, turning into a handful.
The exaggeratedly large solid blade struck Gai Nie fiercely from top to bottom.
Seeing this, Gai Nie raised his sword with his backhand, placed it on his shoulder, and caught the sword head on.
After the two sides wrestled for several breaths, it finally ended with Xinghun being forced back by Gai Nie.
After this move, Xinghun was pushed back to the front of the army, while Gai Nie stood on the spot, holding his sword and facing the enemies coldly, but the wooden sword was stained with more true energy, almost the entire blade. There was a sarcastic smile on Xinghun's lips, he raised his hand unhurriedly to dissipate the energy in his palm, and put his hand behind his back in an old-fashioned manner.
Seeing this, Gai Nie casually wiped away the zhenqi stained on the sword.
It seems that the two of them have given up.
In other words, Xinghun does not intend to fight, but Gai Nie is not keen on taking the initiative.
"From the perspective of a sword master, is such swordsmanship acceptable?" Xinghun asked Gai Nie with a smile.
This sounds like he is being taken advantage of, and he is still so arrogant even though he is at a disadvantage. However, with Xinghun's age and Gai Nie's strong character, he has achieved such a record. It is reasonable and reasonable for him to be proud, and no one can fault him.
.
After all, he was only at a disadvantage and did not show any signs of defeat. The battle did not clearly turn towards Ge Nie.
"..." Regarding this question, Ge Nie was silent for a moment.
If Gu Xun were present, he might answer directly like this:
From the perspective of a sword master, your swordsmanship just now is not called swordsmanship!
To say you are unsightly is to beautify it!
Do you really have no idea at all?
Not to mention your strength, just think about how many years you can live!
Wait, wait, wait... words like this.
However, Gai Nie is a good old man, and he usually doesn’t speak so harshly.
He never hesitates to praise anyone's strength. Specific terms include but are not limited to:
You are the only martial arts wizard I have ever seen in my life;
I really have no confidence in winning, etc...
I believe there will be more in the future.
Not only in terms of martial arts, sect strength, extraordinary skills, but also in any aspect of outstanding people and things, he does not hesitate to praise him and is very humble.
However, it needs to be emphasized that there are two special people, one is Wei Zhuang, and Gai Nie praises Wei Zhuang, but rarely, because the strength of the two is indeed very close.
The second is Gu Xun. Gai Nie will never use any words to praise Gu Xun’s strength, because he really can’t beat him.
He won't judge those who can't beat him.
Facing Xinghun, he naturally would not displease the other party. After considering his words, he avoided answering the other party's question and said:
"Fortunately, your energy-gathering blade only has four successes, otherwise Gai may have been seriously injured at this time."
Pay attention to the ingenuity of the language. The word 'possibly' should be emphasized. This fully reflects Gai Nie's rigor - if you don't lie when you don't have to, there is still a chance no matter how low the probability is!
Xinghun was obviously very impressed by what he heard, and the corners of his mouth widened a bit.
Meng Tian is not interested in listening to Xinghun being intoxicated here.
He doesn’t understand martial arts, but he understands interpersonal communication. He is just polite and polite, but how can he really take it seriously?
With a wave of his hand, he hit the long sword and Meng Tian shouted loudly, "The whole army obeys the order! Attack the formation!"
Then he said to Xinghun standing in front of him, "Lord Xinghun, leave the rest to the empire's army."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Again, he knows how to interact with people very well. Although he thinks this kid is a bit too cool, he is after all the senior member of the Yin Yang Family that His Majesty values the most, so his attitude must be in place.
Gai Nie looked at the Golden Fire Cavalry who was about to charge. Without any hesitation, he immediately retreated, his figure gradually disappeared into the fog, and he left the last sentence:
"I'm waiting for you in the mist."
Facing the retreating Gai Nie, Meng Tian did not rashly order a pursuit. After all, dealing with martial arts masters was different from fighting in battle, so it was better to consult professionals.
"Lord Xinghun, do you think we should pursue Gai Nie?"
Xinghun smiled crookedly, raised his hand and waved, "Don't be impatient, wait for the news."
"News?" Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, then thought of some not-so-good possibility, and his face became much uglier.
The fact was exactly as he guessed, and soon a messenger rushed over from behind on horseback:
"General, urgent report!"
"The rebel was kidnapped!"
Meng Tian, who had expected it, did not show any surprise, but his face became more gloomy and he looked at Xinghun:
"Lord Xinghun, look..."
Xinghun was not too anxious about this. He looked in a certain direction and asked in a confused manner, "Are all the people in the trap so incompetent?"
As Xinghun finished speaking, a person flashed out from the side.
It was obviously a piece of flat land without any cover, so I didn’t know how this person had managed to hide himself from others.
Meng Tian looked at the mysterious man who suddenly appeared wearing white clothes, wearing a white mask, and holding a white sword, and asked sternly, "Who are you!?"
The other party calmly cupped his fists and saluted, and replied in a hoarse voice, "Luo Wang is a first-class person, but he is evil. I have met the General."
Xinghun had obviously discovered Quexie's existence a long time ago and continued to ask, "Why didn't you stop that person? Don't tell me that Luowang's Tianzi Yiyi can't even stop a thief now."
When Meng Tian heard this, he immediately looked at the Tianzi Yiyi who had appeared out of nowhere with an unkind look on his face - he really didn't know that Luo Sheng had secretly sent experts.
Of course, the key question now is that the star soul is entangled with Gai Nie. Why didn't you, the first-class genius, keep that one alive?
When faced with doubts, Ke Xie did not show any panic and responded calmly, "My first duty is to protect General Meng's safety, so I did not stay behind."
Xinghun didn't buy this answer and retorted with a sneer, "So what, I'm already here."
Quexie also didn't buy Xinghun's argument, and directly shouted back, "The opponent is the Sword Master Gai Nie. If Master Xinghun comes here alone, will he be able to ensure the safety of General Meng?"
