Hearing their names, the young man named Jingtian raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise on his face.
"Come, come quickly."
Du Jia led a group of disciples to Su Xing and Han An and introduced them to them: "Let me introduce to you that these three disciples are the disciples who represent our Taoist academy in this demon-slaying event.
Among them, Sedum’s strength is undoubtedly the strongest.”
Sedum.
Su Xing looked up and down at the young man who had just danced the sword. He had a handsome face. What made people most concerned about was the pair of light eyebrows that seemed to be drawn with a pen. The eyes under the eyebrows were bright and bright.
The two of them cast sharp glances.
"The Great Completion of Huayuan Realm."
Su Xing secretly said something in his heart, and he could see the opponent's strength at a glance. And judging from the opponent's previous sword dancing movements, Jingtian's attainments in swordsmanship were not low, at least he had surpassed Zhao Yiyun last year.
"Jingtian, and you two, the demon-slaying event is coming soon. If there is anything you don't know how to do, please take advantage of the two senior brothers' free time to ask for advice."
"You two senior brothers represented our Yuyang Taoist Temple and entered the three main peaks last year, and Su Xing, who was wearing a blue robe, even won the first place for us at last year's demon slaying event.
!”
"yes."
"Yes, elder."
The other two people responded obediently, but Jingtian was the only one who stared at the two of them without saying a word.
"Hey, Jingtian, why don't you say anything?" Du Jia realized something was wrong and immediately looked sideways at the young man aside.
"These two can't teach me anything."
But he saw Jingtian snorting lightly, raising his sword and walking towards the wooden piles, while muttering in his mouth.
"you!"
A flash of anger suddenly appeared on Du Jia's face, and the hand pointing at Jingtian's back trembled slightly. After all, he could not say a harsh word to his disciple.
"I'm really sorry. That child is too proud and always feels that no one is worthy of being his teacher."
The lecturer from Yuyang Taoist Academy turned around and said apologetically to Su Xing and the others.
"It's okay, aren't there two more junior brothers here?"
Han An laughed disapprovingly and walked towards the wooden pile in the distance with the remaining two disciples, leaving Du Jia and Su Xing behind.
"Sir, I see that Jingtian's strength is indeed very strong, at least it has surpassed most of his peers. How did our Taoist academy recruit such a disciple?"
"Hey, this is a long story, let's sit down and talk."
Du Jia took Su Xing to a shady place aside, sat on a long stone chair, sighed deeply, and said quietly:
"Not long after you left the Taoist Academy and went to the inner mountain, the three Taoist courtyards sent elders from each family to travel down the mountain and recruit some disciples to go up the mountain. Jingtian is one of them."
"That child is from Bicheng, the capital of Chongzhou. An elder in the family happens to be working in our Taoist temple, so after he went up the mountain, he entered our Taoist temple without much thought."
"It's just that when he later learned that our Yuyang Taoist Temple was the weakest among the three Taoist temples, he often clamored to transfer to the Shenji Taoist Temple next door. Naturally, Dean Jiang and I did not agree. Once the Taoist temple was chosen,
No changes are allowed, this is the rule of our Wanjian Sect."
"Sir, I think he is very strong and his swordsmanship is also very good. It doesn't look like he learned it from our Taoist academy." Su Xing asked, looking at the young man dancing the sword in the distance.
"Yes, the Jing family in Bicheng has been a family of swordsmen for generations. The child has been practicing swordsmanship at home since he was a child. There are many swordsman masters in the Jing family, so he has had many elders as his teachers since he was a child, teaching him how to practice swordsmanship.
Jian, it’s understandable that you don’t like the elders in our Taoist temple now.”
"I see."
Su Xing nodded and stood up.
"What are you going to do?" Du Jia looked at Su Xing who suddenly stood up, and his heart suddenly tightened.
"You teachers are just too soft-hearted and don't want to teach Jingtian a lesson, which is why he has the character he has now. I'm different. I love teaching people who are weaker than me too much."
Su Xing smiled at Du Jia, raised his sword and walked towards the wooden piles in the distance.
"Hey, wait..."
Before Du Jia had time to dissuade Su Xing, she saw that the young man had already walked away.
…
Sedum stood in front of the wooden piles, holding a long sword in his hand, and took a deep breath.
This time, he wanted to cut through thirty wooden stakes with one sword.
His previous record was twenty-eight.
The faster the sword, the more powerful it is. This is what he learned at home since he was a child. He has always kept this sentence in mind, and most of the swordsmanship he has chosen along the way has been characterized by "fastness".
For example, he previously found the "Flying Thunder Sword" in the Hidden Gong Pavilion of Yuyang Taoist Temple. After mastering it, he can turn the spiritual sword into flying thunder, which can turn the forest into flat ground in an instant.
Of course, he is still far away from that realm now, and being able to cut off thirty wooden stakes at once is already pretty good.
"call."
He took a deep breath, clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, and looked at the group of wooden stakes in front of him.
"Sedum!"
"Ahem!"
Just as he was holding his breath and concentrating, using the wind to gather strength, and preparing to strike out with the sword, someone suddenly called his name in his ear. He was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the sword and scratched himself.
"What are you doing?"
Jingtian looked back and found that the man named Su Xing had appeared beside him at some point, and his face suddenly turned cold.
"It's nothing," Su Xing saw the displeasure on the other person's face and said with a smile: "I think it would be a bit lonely for you to practice swordsmanship alone. It happens that swordsmanship is also a required course for me every day. Why don't we do it together?"
"Together?" Jingtian snorted coldly, "No need."
"Hey, wait."
Su Xing took two steps to stop him, "I know you look down on me and think my swordsmanship is not as strong as yours."
"So what?"
"In our world of cultivators, the best way to distinguish between strong and weak is to have a duel. What do you think, do you want to compete with me?"
"and you?"
Jingtian raised his eyebrows and looked at the smiling man in front of him in surprise.
"Why, are you scared?"
"Afraid? Ever since Jingtian was born, he has never been afraid of others. Let's go to the competition arena."
With that said, Jingtian turned around and walked away.
"etc!"
Su Xing grabbed the young man's shoulder and said, "As fellow disciples, do we need to go to such a serious place to discuss and exchange ideas? If you ask me, we can just stay here."
"Here?" Jingtian shook off Su Xing's hand, looked around, and said with an unhappy expression: "The space here is so small, I can't stretch my hands and feet."
"It doesn't matter. Since we just want to differentiate ourselves, how about we set a rule that each person is only allowed to use one move? Defeat the enemy with one move to determine who is stronger and who is weaker."
Seeing Su Xing's arrogant look, Jingtian secretly said in his heart that he was overestimating his abilities and nodded.
"Of course, it's just what I want."
"very good."
Su Xing laughed loudly when he heard this, and called the martial arts boy to clear all the wooden stakes on the side to make room for the two of them to test their swords.
Han An and others standing in the distance noticed something was wrong when they saw the huge commotion here, and quickly walked to Du Jia with his two junior brothers to inquire about the situation.
"What are you talking about? Junior brother wants to have a sword duel with Jingtian?!"
Han An's eyes were as big as a bell, and his voice almost broke.
"Uh...that's right." Du Jia nodded helplessly, looking at the two people standing opposite each other in the distance.
"But... Elder Du," Han An ignored the surprised expressions of the two junior brothers and whispered in Du Jia's ear: "Let the junior brother compete with Jingtian, aren't you really bullying Jingtian?"
"Hmm..." Du Jia pondered: "I think since Jingtian agreed to compete with the other party, he must have discussed in advance to let Su Xing lower his cultivation level to the Huayuan Realm. Otherwise, he is really bullying others.
"
"I'm afraid it's not just the realm that needs to be lowered..." Han An looked at Sedum in the distance with a worried look. After seeing the serious look on the other person's face, the worry in his heart increased a bit.
"you mean……"
"Unless you, elder, cut off junior brother's right hand now, no matter how low junior brother lowers his level, Jingtian will not be his opponent."
Han An's mind suddenly recalled a rumor he heard by chance when he was talking to his disciples some time ago.
This rumor spread from Tianzi Pavilion in Lingwu Peak. It was said that a new disciple who joined Tianzhen Peak shattered the two iron men Tian Bing and Tian Yi with just one sword.
You must know that those two iron men have troubled Han An for a long time!
The new disciples who joined Tianzhen Peak...
Isn't he the junior brother?
Han An turned his eyes and looked at Su Xing, who was opposite Jingtian. The junior brother's face was full of smiles, but Han An felt a chill in his heart.
