Chapter 457 Life and Death Fight in the Forest (Part 2)
In the Hidden Sword Pavilion of Wujian Villa, there were once placed hundreds of collections.
Some of these swords are top-grade swords from the hands of famous swordsmiths, some are family heirlooms presented by the villa's guests, and some... are relics of dead swordsmen.
Among them, the top-quality swords made by famous masters may not reach the level of a treasure weapon, but they are the most likely to be highly regarded by the world, because the sharpness of this kind of sword is more obvious, and it is really comparable to a treasure weapon.
It won't be defeated immediately. It is indeed a very good weapon.
As for the family heirloom swords presented by the disciples, their quality is a bit uneven - most of them are worse than those made by famous masters, but occasionally there are precious swords mixed in.
As for the swords left behind by the swordsmen during their lifetime, that is another matter...
The ancestors of the Xiao family collected such swords not because of how sharp the swords themselves were, but just to commemorate the previous owners of these swords.
Among those people, there are their friends, lovers, rivals, and old enemies... Leaving behind these swords is like leaving behind a memory, a grudge and a grudge.
It's a pity that all of this has now disappeared.
It takes many years to collect these swords.
But it only takes one day to get rid of them.
After the destruction of Wujian Villa, almost all of the hundreds of famous swords flowed into the Jianghu. For some swords, this can be regarded as seeing the light of day again, but more swords just gradually passed into the hands of people who did not know the goods, and finally became a wall.
decorations or simply thrown into the furnace.
And this "Ginseng Sword"... is rather special. It has not disappeared from the world, but it has not appeared in the world in the past two years.
Because Chi Xiao, Bi Xiao and Qing Xiao, who took it away, dedicated the sword and the "loyalty" of the three of them to a person not long after leaving Wujian Villa.
In exchange for the other party's protection.
That is...the masked man appearing in front of the Three-Word King and the others at this moment.
"Thank you, Master, for saving me..." After he was temporarily safe, the first thing Chi Xiao did was to turn to the masked man, kneel down on one knee, and quickly admitted his mistake, "It's all my fault for my subordinate's incompetence in doing things, and I have to bother you, Master."
out……"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the masked man waving his hand.
"You two, please retreat first." The masked man spoke in a low and strange voice. It's unclear whether he used the mask or his inner strength to change his original voice.
"Yes, I obey." Chi Xiao and Bi Xiao did not dare to question or delay the masked man's order. After receiving the order, they immediately responded with clasped fists, then turned around and ran away.
Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention. What the masked man said is that you "two" should withdraw first.
If he hadn't said "two" and directly said "you guys retreat first", Chi Xiao and Bi Xiao might have hesitated to take Qing Xiao who had lost the ability to move and run away with them, but since the masked man specifically said "two
", the meaning is actually very obvious...
Qing Xiao, who was sitting paralyzed under the tree, watched Chi Xiao and Bi Xiao running quickly from both sides of him, both of them avoiding looking at him for even a second... He basically understood what was going on in his heart.
own fate.
"Who are you?" At this time, the three-character king on the other side finally couldn't help but test the masked man.
He was also quite realistic. When faced with Sanxiao, who had lost one man, he would attack as soon as he said he would make a surprise attack. However, when faced with this masked man with unpredictable martial arts skills, he chose to say something instead of rashly attacking.
"Do you think I will tell you?" The masked man's response makes sense - if I am willing to reveal my identity, why do I still wear a mask?
Swish——
While asking the question, the masked man turned slightly sideways and threw out a sword.
The target of this sword was Qing Xiao, who was a few feet behind him.
"Ha..." The moment before his death, Qing Xiao could only smile bitterly.
When the masked man gave the order just now, Qing Xiao understood: his new master did not intend to rescue him, a useless person even when he was healthy, nor did he intend to leave him for questioning.
, then his ending is naturally doomed.
Although Qingxiao cannot be called a gentleman and has done many dishonorable things, he is also a first-class swordsman. He was the most powerful swordsman in Wujian Villa in its heyday, so he knew he would die without a doubt.
Even so, he still tried his best to maintain his dignity.
He didn't respond with tears and tears, he just smiled and went to die. No matter how many regrets and regrets he had in this life, they were still rotten in his stomach. He secretly said to himself, "Eighteen years later, I will be a good man again."
That’s it.
And the masked man seemed to be interested in making Qingxiao look good.
He threw out the sword with almost all his strength, so Qingxiao's neck and the tree trunk behind him were cut off almost instantly by the flying sword energy, without any delay.
It can be seen from just this sword that this person's skill is definitely not inferior to that of Xiao Zhun back then.
"Three-character king, Linghu Xiang, Qin Feng..." The masked man named the three of them one by one, paused, and then continued, "You are all swordsmen too. If you want to know who I am, you might as well use your sword.
Come and ask."
What he meant by this was to let the three of them come together.
"It's over, the three of us seem to be surrounded by him alone." Linghu Xiang has known Sun Huang for a long time, and he has also learned to talk nonsense. At this tense moment, he is still using such words, but
The second half of his sentence turned back to a more pragmatic direction, "How about I go up and deal with him one-on-one for a while, and you guys wait for a while and observe his routines from the side?"
I have to say, his idea sounds pretty solid, but...
"It's best not to." The Three-Word King stopped him.
Among the three, the Three-Character King's strength is closest to super-class, and his martial arts talent and martial arts experience are also higher than the other two, so he has already seen this enemy through the few actions of the masked man.
I'm afraid it's not the type Linghu Xiang is suitable to deal with.
Seeing this, some people may have something to say, Linghu Xiang can delay his fight against Xiao Zhun for a moment and a half, but why can't he fight against this one?
The reason is quite complicated...
But the most important point is that Xiao Zhun more or less did not show his full strength in the middle and early stages of that battle.
Because Xiao Zhun had not yet fully become a demon at that time, he was still using the "Sword Master" style in battle, which was also the style that was defeated by the "Invincible Sword Technique", so after a few moves,
When Xiao Zhun found out that he was defeated by Linghu Xiang in terms of moves, he was unconvinced and tried even harder to use the idea of "problem-solving swordsmanship" to solve the unsolvable problem of Bubai Swordsmanship.
If you want to say whether Xiao Zhun tried his best in the middle and early stages of the battle, he did try his best, but he did his best under the premise of "must defeat the opponent with swordsmanship", not when he repeated "Shaping the Moon in the Wind" later.
That kind of "forget it, just win if you can" try your best.
As for Xiao Zhun's style of play when he enters the "Sword Demon" stage later on, let alone mention it - the "undefeated" of the undefeated swordsmanship is also limited to undefeated defense at the level of moves, with sword energy flying around.
The battle is not of the same dimension as this one.
And the masked man in front of him is undoubtedly not a "sword instructor".
Although the sword in his hand is the flawless sword that best represents the sword heart and sword theory of the "sword master", the few times he has taken action so far, the things he has shown are nothing like this sword.
His character seems out of place.
Participate in flaws and ginseng flaws, ginseng is enlightenment, and flaws are deficiency.
Everything has its shortcomings, and the "perfect sword technique" that Xiao Zhun sought before entering the devil's realm is not flawless, but that the flaws do not cover up the good, and the flaws are left in everything.
Just like some power, it can only reach 990,000 horses, and will collapse when it reaches one million horses, or its nature has changed and it is no longer controllable by humans.
This is the answer that Xiao Zhun has realized throughout his life at the threshold of "the ultimate level". Although this may not be the only answer on the path to swordsmanship, it is indeed the final answer when a certain type of sword theory reaches its extreme.
.
It's a pity that when Xiao Zhun later crossed the threshold of the top level, he took another path of destruction instead of the path he had been studying.
Even in the end, what he held in his hand was not his Shenxia Sword.
But in any case, this sword abandoned by Xiao Zhun is a weapon that perfectly fits the sword theory of the "sword master"; when it is swung, it can bring the swordsman's moves to a higher precision, and even
It can perform some incredible operations such as stopping instantly when slashing at super high speeds, and the sword blade does not move at all.
But the three moves the masked man used just now to repel the Three-Character King and others, including the sword energy he displayed a few seconds ago, are completely different from the style that Shen Xia Sword should have... His moves are wide open and close, and they are ordinary.
There is no sense of subtlety, as if he is not a swordsman himself, but just pretends to be a master of swordsmanship with the help of his powerful skills and the blessing of the sword.
Faced with such an opponent, Linghu Xiang is the one who is being restrained. Even if his internal strength has improved recently, fighting against such a person will be a disaster.
"Cover me." After dissuading and ordering Hu Xiang, the Three-Word King hesitated for a few seconds before saying these three words.
If you ask him what he was thinking about in these few seconds, it's very simple - he was thinking about whether he should abandon Ling Huxiang and Qin Feng and run away alone.
But after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea...
Firstly, the opponent's target is the "True Hero Ling", so even if he escapes alone, the opponent can quickly repel Linghu Xiang and Qin Feng and continue to chase him.
Secondly, those two boys had some friendship with him anyway, and they had taken the initiative to help him before, so it would be unreasonable for him to just abandon them and run away.
Therefore, the killer three-character king, who had always been reluctant to be "righteous", could only speak helplessly at this moment, preparing to use himself as the main frontal attack, and let Linghu Xiang and Qin Feng raid the formation beside them to fight.
Fight this mysterious masked man.
And the masked man's reaction was also very strange. When he saw the Three-Word King taking the lead and rushing over, the face under the mask could not help but twist with excitement.
At this moment, he shook his wrist to move the sword, and the sword style suddenly appeared.
And that move, suddenly no longer ordinary, but turned into an extremely exquisite style...
