"A battle with him may help me improve my swordsmanship to a higher level."
Qing Chibai looked in the direction of the martial arts platform and found that Liu Xin couldn't even touch the corner of Zhang Ruochen's clothes and was completely suppressed by Zhang Ruochen.
"He is indeed a master of swordsmanship." Qing Chibai became more determined to fight Zhang Ruochen.
"Bang!"
Zhang Ruochen finally opened his eyes and stabbed Liu Xin in the abdomen with a sword. A powerful force came out of the sword, knocking Liu Xin away and falling off the fighting platform.
Because the broken sword had no tip, Liu Xin was not seriously injured, but he just looked very embarrassed!
If he were defeated at the hands of Qing Chibai, Liu Xin would not complain at all, but if he was defeated at the hands of a prince who belonged to an inferior princess, it would definitely be a heavy blow to him, even more uncomfortable than killing him.
Liu Xin's eyes were a little dull, and he kept chanting: "He only used a broken sword, how could I lose...how could I lose..."
Everyone could see clearly that Liu Xin never touched Zhang Ruochen's body from beginning to end. If Zhang Ruochen really wanted to defeat him, he probably only needed one move.
Liu Xin hid in the crowd dejectedly, very afraid that Zhang Ruochen would see him and force him to chop off his hands. If he really chopped off his hands, it would definitely affect his future cultivation.
Zhang Ruochen naturally saw Liu Xin hiding in the crowd and shook his head gently, not wanting to force him. After all, he was the disciple of the left prime minister.
If Zhang Ruochen forces him to chop off his hand, it will be like slapping the Zuo Prime Minister in the face, and the Zuo Prime Minister will definitely retaliate. It will not be of any benefit to the people of Yunwu County.
Anyway, after what happened today, Liu Xin will become a joke in Qianshui County, and Zhang Ruochen is too lazy to add fuel to the fire.
Now, in the entire sword discussion conference, no one dares to laugh at Zhang Ruochen. Even if he really claims to be the best swordsman in the world, everyone will not find it ridiculous. They will only think that he is a very confident person with arrogance.
of capital.
Huo Ming was also completely stunned, staring at Zhang Ruochen standing on the martial arts platform, feeling as if he had been slapped hard by Zhang Ruochen.
"Whoosh!"
The noble daughters on the second floor of Jinfengwan threw out pieces of gold and jade leaves, which fell on the martial arts platform one after another.
Even the third floor of Jinfengyuan threw two golden jade leaves. You know, the people watching the battle on the third floor were all the princesses of Qianshui County.
There were actually two princesses who also expressed their love to Zhang Ruochen.
At the same time, hidden in the Feitian Pavilion in the void, the laughter of King Qianshui also sounded, saying: "Ning Shangshu, the Zhang Ruochen you mentioned is indeed a young hero. He can defeat Tuoba Lin with a broken sword.
Su and Liu Xin."
Ning Shangshu smiled and said: "This Zhang Ruochen is indeed quite outstanding, but he is still a little behind compared to the king when he was young. I remember that in the Holy City of the East China Sea, the king defeated all the geniuses from all over the world with one man and one sword.
His style is unparalleled to this day."
Hearing Ning Shangshu's flattering words, King Qianshui was in a good mood. He thought of his own youth and laughed loudly: "Ning Shangshu, don't forget, Zhang Ruochen used a broken sword. He can be so powerful even with a broken sword.
, I was not as good as him back then."
The ten powerful officials present were all old foxes, and they had heard something different.
It seems that the king has already fallen in love with talents and is preparing to recruit Zhang Ruochen as his son-in-law.
Naturally, Ning Shangshu heard the meaning of Qianshui Commandery Prince's words, and thought to himself, "The king seems to be quite optimistic about Zhang Ruochen. This Zhang Ruochen has a bright future. I must bring the relationship with Yunwu Commandery closer. Sifang Commandery
Over there, I’m going to give it a beating too.”
General Gongsun Lin smiled and said: "Today, Zhang Ruochen broke his sword and fought against all the heroes at the Sword Discussion Conference, defeating all the geniuses. Soon, his name will be spread throughout the world."
Zuo Xiang said: "Whether Zhang Ruochen can be famous in all countries, there is still a final battle. If he loses to Qing Chibai, then all the glory he won previously will be transferred to Qing Chibai."
Ning Shangshu frowned slightly and said: "Qing Chibai is a semi-saint disciple, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Earth's Ultimate Realm, and his sword intention has reached the peak of Sword Follower. He can be called the first genius of Qianshui County in a hundred years. Zhang Ruochen
It is not a shame to lose at his hands."
Another powerful minister said: "When Qing Chibai was at the top of the Xuanji Realm, he should be a little weaker than Zhang Ruochen. But now, even if he suppresses his realm to the top of the Xuanji Realm, he is still stronger than Zhang Ruochen.
It’s unfair for two people to fight together. Qing, Chi and Bai will win!”
"If Qing Chibai suppresses his cultivation to the small extreme level of Xuanji Realm, he should be evenly matched. But in that case, it would be quite unfair to Qing Chibai. After all, as a semi-saint disciple, he does not want to lose, let alone cannot lose.
"
"Zhang Ruochen only needs to persist in ten moves in Qing Chibai's hands, and he will definitely have a place among the young talents in the world today."
…
Everyone in Jinfengyuan didn't know that the big shots in Qianshui County were also paying attention to the latest rising young talents from various countries.
For these big shots, every top genius may grow into an unparalleled overlord in the future. There is no harm in recruiting them in advance now.
Zhang Ruochen stood on the martial arts platform and was not in a hurry to leave, because he knew that even if he wanted to leave now, someone would definitely come out to stop him.
It is impossible to let him go without defeating him.
In this case, then defeat all those who have objections and subdue all those who are dissatisfied. When the time comes, you can naturally leave calmly.
"Who wants to compete with me in sword competition?" Zhang Ruochen held the broken sword and glanced at every genius below.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen's gaze, everyone lowered their heads.
"Let me do it!"
Qing Chibai stood up, took off the robe that was hanging on his shoulders, revealing a neat and clean green robe, and walked towards the fighting platform with a green sword in hand.
The blue Qi surged under his feet and condensed into a cloud of Qi.
Every time he takes a step, a cloud of true energy will appear under his feet, supporting his body and sending him to the fighting platform.
Seeing Qing Chibai's movement technique, a cry came from the crowd: "Could it be...that this is the legendary movement technique 'Stepping on the Clouds'?"
"It should be that kind of martial arts. It is said to be a high-grade spiritual martial arts. Qing Chibai is probably close to reaching perfection."
"Qing Chibai is finally going to take action. He represents the number one member of the younger generation of our Qianshui County Prince. Since he takes action, he should be able to easily defeat the ninth prince of Yunwu County."
…
Qing Chibai landed on the martial arts platform, looking very free and easy. He stared at Zhang Ruochen and said with a smile: "I, Qing Chibai, originally didn't want to take action in the sword discussion conference, but when I saw the Ninth Prince's exquisite swordsmanship, I admired him in my heart.
, I also want to have a discussion with you. You have fought four times in a row, and your true energy must have been consumed a lot. You can rest for half an hour before we fight again."
Zhang Ruochen knew that Qing Chibai was a strong opponent and was not arrogant enough to think that he would be able to defeat him.
Zhang Ruochen nodded, immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to restore the consumed energy.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Ruochen returned to his peak state, stood up, stared at Qing Chibai, and said, "How do you plan to compete?"
Qing Chibai said: "My sword intention realm has reached the peak level of sword movement. If we only compare sword moves, it will definitely be very disadvantageous for you. Therefore, we still follow the previous rules. I will suppress my cultivation."
When we reach the top of the Xuanji Realm, we can fight in the same realm."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Okay! I have no objection!"
At this moment, Xun Guihai, who was sitting not far from Princess Thirteen, stood up and said with a smile: "I have a suggestion. I wonder if everyone is willing to listen to it?"
Qing Chibai glanced at Xun Guihai and said with a smile: "Brother Xun has any suggestions, but it doesn't matter."
Xun Guihai said: "The fighting platform is only nine meters square, which is a bit too small for a warrior at the highest level in the Xuanji realm. Both of you are top masters of swordsmanship. A battle between the two of you will be extremely exciting.
Why not expand the battlefield to the entire Jinfengwan? Wouldn't it be more conducive for you to display your sword skills?"
Princess Thirteen knew that Qing Chibai's movement skills were very powerful and she would definitely have the upper hand, so she immediately agreed and said: "Master Xun is right, the limitations of Zhan Wu Tai are indeed too great. In this battle, you will use Jin Feng Wan
It is a battlefield and does not need to be limited to a mere martial arts platform."
Qing Chibai looked at Zhang Ruochen and said, "Ninth Prince, what do you think?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Since everyone has already decided, I naturally have no objection."
Qing Chibai stared at the broken sword in Zhang Ruochen's hand and said, "Ninth Prince, you'd better change your sword!"
Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly and said: "I am used to using my own sword. If I change it to another sword temporarily, I will not be able to show my true strength."
"If that's the case, then so be it!"
Qing Chibai looked cool and calm. He raised his arm and the green sword drew an arc in the void. He held the hilt of the sword with one hand and the tip of the sword with the other.
The true energy surged out from the fingertips, and the fingers seemed to be covered with a blue halo.
"Snapped!"
The battle sword, which was a fourth-level true weapon, was forcibly broken under the influence of Qing Chibai's true energy and turned into a broken sword.
Qing Chibai waved his hand and threw the broken sword tip out, falling into the pool below the battle platform.
Everyone stared at Qing Chibai with admiration, thinking that he was upright. Only Zhang Ruochen understood that Qing Chibai had already prepared the Broken Sword before he boarded the martial arts platform, so he only brought a fourth-level sword with him.
A battle sword of the level of a true weapon appears on the battle stage.
If he uses an intact sword, even if he defeats Zhang Ruochen, no one will recognize his strength.
On the contrary, if he takes the initiative to break the sword and then defeats Zhang Ruochen, he will not only defeat Zhang Ruochen, but also gain fame.
For a genius, reputation is also very important.
Zhang Ruochen cleared all the distracting thoughts from his mind and stared straight at Qing Chibai standing opposite. His whole body seemed to be completely independent from the surrounding space and entered an extremely emptiness state.
