Chapter two hundred and seventy-six about the battle (finally
‘Unparalleled Sword’ Lin Xiao is a very proud person. There are many sword warriors in the top ten, but he has never truly conquered even one of them.
Sword mastery and strength are two different things. Lin Xiao admitted that 'Sword Master' He Xiu was very strong, but he did not admit that He Xiu's swordsmanship was better than his.
Not to mention that Su Xin's current ranking is lower than him, even if it is higher than him, Lin Xiao will not challenge him idle and bored.
At this time, Xiao Huang suddenly said: "Brother Lin, I remember that you seemed to have competed with Xie Zhiyan not long ago, but you lost in the end?"
Lin Xiao's face changed slightly, but he still nodded and said: "We lost. The Taishang Nine Tribulations Sword is unparalleled in power, but it can only hurt others as well as yourself. It is an extreme form of swordsmanship."
."
Xiao Huang chuckled at this time and said: "But the version I heard is that Sword God Mountain wanted to bring you and Xie Zhiyan into marriage, and the Yi Jianmen had already agreed with it, but Xie Zhiyan proposed to fight you, but you
lose.
But do you know that Su Xin once had a close relationship with Xie Zhiyan. When he was in southern Hunan, Xie Zhiyan helped Na Su Xin become the enemy of the Qingcheng Sword Sect.
Later, also in the tomb of Luo Yun, the ‘Sword Master’ in southern Hunan, the two of them worked together to trick Shangguan Yanqing and others. The relationship between the two of them is not that simple.”
Lin Xiao's heart fluctuated slightly, but he immediately shook his head and said: "It's useless for you to provoke me. Xie Zhiyan and I have only met once, and there is no relationship between men and women. What relationship he has with Su Xin has nothing to do with me.
.
Besides, Xie Zhiyan is obsessed with swordsmanship, so don’t compare her with other women. She has only swords in her life, and the love between a man and a woman cannot hold her back."
Xiao Huang looked at Lin Xiao in surprise. He could guarantee that Lin Xiao was absolutely attracted to Xie Zhiyan.
Lin Xiao said that Xie Zhiyan only dedicated his life to the sword, but in fact, he also only dedicated his life to the sword. However, when he saw someone who could surpass him in the way of swordsmanship, and that person was a woman, he couldn't help but be tempted.
In normal times, if Lin Xiao lost to He Xiu and others, he would not have made so many excuses. But just now, Lin Xiao did not directly say what happened to Xie Zhiyan. He only said that her Taishang Nine Tribulations Sword hurt others and herself.
, it’s just too dangerous.
This is clearly because after losing to a woman, he doesn't want to admit defeat directly. The man's pride is causing trouble and he wants to find an excuse.
Xiao Huang believed that he could never be wrong about people. When Lin Xiao had such emotions, he must have been attracted to Xie Zhiyan.
It's just that the only thing Xiao Huang didn't calculate was that even if Lin Xiao was really attracted to Xie Zhiyan, he was not the kind of idiot who would be jealous for an unwarranted thing. For Lin Xiao, the way of kendo was always in other emotions.
above.
Fortunately, Xiao Huang made some preparations in advance. He clapped his hands, and his servants immediately brought over a box, which contained something like a transparent crystal.
"Brother Lin, you will know after reading this. This Su Xin is definitely worthy of your challenge."
"Image stone?" Lin Xiao was slightly surprised.
This thing is a product of the creation of heaven and earth. It can absorb the light source and put it into the stone, and emit it at night as if it were daytime. In ancient times, some ancestors used this picture stone as an oil lamp.
However, some warriors later discovered that the image stone, driven by true energy, could not only absorb the light source, but also the images that had been seen before.
Therefore, this thing was used by major martial arts sects to record some exercises or martial arts that cannot be expressed in words. It once caused a frenzy of looting, and is now very precious.
Xiao Huang input his inner energy into the shadow stone, and suddenly a light and shadow emerged, with sword energy and sword light filling the air. This was exactly the scene when Su Xin and Na Ji Wukong fought.
Xiao Huang had already sent people to keep an eye on Su Xin. When Su Xin and Ji Wukong fought, someone from the Xiao family held a photo stone and recorded the scene.
However, Lin Xiao didn't care so much at this time, he just stared at Su Xin's figure as he wielded his sword energy.
The formless and sharp sword energy is so pure that it can even compete with Yuanshen realm warriors. Even if there is only one move, it is amazing enough.
The image was very short, and it ended in a few breaths, because Su Xin only exchanged a move with Ji Wukong.
Lin Xiao closed his eyes, then opened them after a while and said, "Send me an invitation to fight Su Xin. I'll repay you a favor. What do you call his swordsmanship?"
Xiao Huang smiled and said: "I heard from people around him that it should be called 'Innate Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi'."
Lin Xiao agreed to a fight with Su Xin, so Xiao Huang arranged for someone to send the battle invitation and also arranged for Lin Xiao to have a good rest.
At this time, Xiao Wuji, Xiao Qiye, who was responsible for teaching martial arts to his disciples, came over, twitching the two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, and chuckled: "I said, the matter is over, my Xiao family will not
You should be involved in Jiangnan Road’s affairs, but why don’t you listen?”
Master Xiao Qi's tone was very gentle, but for some reason, his tone gave people a chilling feeling.
Xiao Huang shook his head and said: "Perhaps it is because I am unwilling to do so. I will only take action this time. After this time, no matter whether I win or lose, I will stop. I have already felt the opportunity of the Yuanshen realm. After this time, I will
Prepare to go into seclusion and attack the soul."
Master Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Huang for a while and then said: "You will be in charge of the Xiao family in the future, so I hope you can remember that anything you do will affect the entire Xiao family, even if something happens
No matter how small we are, this is true. Ordinary people have to think twice, but we have to think seven times before we can do anything.
Our Xiao family is different from other sects and aristocratic families. They can afford to lose, but our Xiao family cannot afford to lose, so every step we take, we must consider countless consequences.
If you are still unable to control your inner thoughts, how dare we hand over the Xiao family to you?"
Xiao Huang was silent for a long time, then bowed to Master Xiao Qi and said, "Thank you, Uncle Qi, for your advice. Xiao Huang has learned a lesson."
Maybe others don't know that compared to Xiao Huang's father Anhou Xiao Wuliang, his seventh uncle is the most terrifying person in the entire Xiao family.
………………
Three days later, Lin Xiao, a disciple of Sword God Mountain and the twelfth-placed 'Wushuang Sword' on the list, made an appointment to fight Su Xin. The news immediately spread throughout Jiangnan Dao, and even in such a short period of time, even other warriors
The sect also received the news.
It is normal for warriors on the human list to challenge each other, but in the past two years, there have been very few warriors challenging each other.
‘Sword Master’ He Xiu often challenged ‘Daoist’ Lin Changhe to fight, but unfortunately he never won once, and the fights were too frequent.
Therefore, no one watched the fight between them at all. If you watch it too much, you will get tired of it. Besides, the fight between the two of them, whose outcome was already known, was really not interesting to watch.
However, this match between Lin Xiao and Su Xin is different. One is ranked twelfth on the ranking list, and the other is fifteenth on the ranking list. Moreover, the high-ranking ones are fighting against the low-ranking ones. This is interesting.
There are also some people in the world who speculate whether Su Xin has offended Lin Xiao in some way. Otherwise, why would he suddenly ask Su Xin to fight if he didn't challenge him at a higher level?
But those who think this way are just some casual warriors who don’t have enough vision and some guys with dirty ideas.
Lin Xiao, the "unparalleled sword", has a good reputation among the younger generation in the world. He does not know how to do things and is too lazy to suppress others.
What's more, Sword God Mountain is far away in Liaodong, but Su Xin only appears in Xiangnan and Jiangnan, one in the east and one in the south. The two people have no intersection at all, so how can they have a grudge?
Therefore, the most likely thing is that Su Xin's swordsmanship was recognized by Lin Xiao, which led Lin Xiao to challenge him for a fight.
After all, Lin Xiao was addicted to swordsmanship, and almost everyone in the world knew that whoever he asked for a fight would basically prove that he was no worse than Lin Xiao in the art of swordsmanship.
Now everyone is waiting to see if Su Xin will accept Lin Xiao's invitation.
However, at this time in Jiangnan Dao, almost all Su Xin's subordinates opposed him taking this battle, especially Wen Mingyu. After receiving the news, he even came from the Wen family to persuade Su Xin not to take this battle.
war.
Wen Mingyu said earnestly: "Master Su, since we are allies, I have to advise you. You'd better refuse this fight, otherwise, this will undoubtedly be a big problem for the six gates of Jiangnan Road.
Huge blow.”
Su Xin looked at ease and asked calmly: "Why?"
Wen Mingyu said in a deep voice: "Because of your current status! It's normal for warriors on the human list to have a fight, so naturally you can do it as you please, but your current status doesn't allow you to do so.
Su Xin, the martial artist on the popular list, can lose, but the chief arrester of the six gates of Jiangnan Road cannot lose!
You have now established an almost invincible image in Jiangnan Dao. The small sects are afraid of you, the second-rate sects are afraid of you, and even the three major first-rate sects have chosen not to show up for the time being.
At this time, you, the Six Gates of Jiangnan Dao, represent the most powerful force in Jiangnan Dao, and no one will regard you, Su Xin, as a junior in the world.
You are the chief catcher of the six gates of Jiangnan Road, and you are an existence that can stand on an equal footing with Yuanshen realm warriors.
But if you lose this fight, this image of invincibility will be broken. People will no longer pay attention to your identity as the chief arrester of Jiangnan Province. You will basically still be the junior warrior, Su Xin on the human list.
Although this reason is somewhat unreasonable, the reality is this. It’s okay for Su Xin to lose once in the ranking list, but Su Xin, the chief arrester of Jiangnan Province, cannot lose.”
Others such as Huang Bingcheng and others nodded, fully agreeing with Wen Mingyu's words.
Lin Xiao's so-called fight this time did not mean much to Su Xin.
Winning against Lin Xiao is just a step up three ranks in the rankings, and it does not mean that he directly enters the top ten. The top twenty and the top ten are still two different worlds.
Winning is the icing on the cake, but if he loses, as Wen Mingyu said, Su Xin's invincible reputation in Jiangnan Road will be greatly reduced, and it will inevitably lead to other unnecessary troubles.
Therefore, in order to be on the safe side, it is best not to accept this battle, and you can use any excuse to avoid it.
As for whether anyone said that Su Xin was timid, it doesn’t matter. There was no competition anyway, and it didn’t mean that Su Xin was defeated because of timidity. There are many sects in Jiangnan Province who don’t like Su Xin. There will definitely be people who say so. Give them some advice when the time comes.
Just teach them a lesson and tell them to shut up. (To be continued.) { ( )
