"Hey, Sun Qi, why do you think Senior Brother Su Xing wants to practice swordsmanship with Jingtian?"
Sun Qi squeezed in front of the gate of the Taoist temple and heard someone behind him asking a question.
"Well... before I came to the sect half a year ago, my family told me not to compete with those powerful senior brothers and sisters when I entered the sect. They always like to find weak points in front of others."
Sun Qi replied without hesitation.
"Looking for a weak persimmon? Why?" A female disciple on the side asked, tilting her head.
"Of course it is to show off his status and strength. I guess that when Senior Brother Su Xing came back this time, he was afraid that we would forget his original heroic deeds, so he specially asked Jingtian, the most powerful among us, to practice swordsmanship."
"From your description, Senior Brother Su Xing seems like a bad person. The senior brothers and sisters in the courtyard clearly said that Senior Brother Su Xing was a good person. When he was still in the Taoist Academy, he often helped his fellow disciples to block troubles in the other two Taoist temples."
After hearing Sun Qi's description of Su Xing, the girl had an unhappy expression on her face and her tone became darker.
"Hey, Shuxiang, don't be angry. I just said it casually. Why did Senior Brother Su Xing ask Jingtian to practice swordsmanship? We'll find out later when the sword test is over, right?"
Sun Qi laughed slightly awkwardly and looked inside the door again.
"Hey, it's started! It's started!"
He then let out an exclamation and leaned forward on the wooden door, wishing he could stuff his head into the crack of the door.
Hearing Sun Qi's exclamation, the scene suddenly became silent. All the disciples held their breath and concentrated for fear of missing something happening in the Taoist temple.
At the same time, they also focused their attention on Sun Qi in front of them, praying in their hearts that he could use words to describe what happened in the Taoist temple word for word.
…
Inside Yuyang Taoist Temple.
After the wooden piles were removed by some warrior boys, a large open space was revealed, which was large enough for two warriors to compete.
Sedum, who was wearing a yellow robe, and Su Xing, who was wearing an indigo robe, stopped on both sides of the open space.
Under Jingtian's pair of pale eyebrows, a pair of big, bright eyes were staring at Su Xing, emitting bursts of cold light.
Thinking of Su Xing taking the initiative to invite him to try the sword, he sneered in his heart.
"In this sword test, I will lower my cultivation level to the same level as you, so you don't have to worry."
Su Xing looked at the yellow Taoist robe on Jingtian and sighed in his heart. He was wearing the same clothes half a year ago, but now...
Jingtian did not respond to Su Xing, but snorted coldly, tightly grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and stood the silver-white long sword in front of him.
Deep in his heart, he was ready to teach this arrogant senior brother a lesson.
If the other party didn't lower his level, Jingtian would consider himself no match for the other party, but now, the two of them are at the same level.
He had heard the legendary story of Su Xing when he entered the academy, and naturally he also knew that Su Xing was only less than a year older than him, and that he had not yet mastered his sword skills when he took the academy examination half a year ago.
And he, Jingtian, had successfully figured out the sword posture two months ago, and had been practicing for two full months, and his mastery of the sword posture was getting deeper and deeper!
A sneer appeared at the corner of Jingtian's mouth. If the older Han An was standing opposite him now, he might have concerns, but his opponent was just a peer.
He is not afraid of opponents of the same age in the same realm!
"Senior Brother Su Xing, before the sword test begins, can you allow me to ask why you want to test the sword with me?" Jingtian suddenly asked in a cold voice.
Su Xing narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Fang Qian heard Mr. Du say that you seem to think that Yuyang Taoist Temple cannot accommodate you? Do you think there is nothing to teach you here?"
"Oh, yes, that's what I think."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
In the Taoist courtyard, Du Jia and Han An both looked serious, knowing deep down that Jingtian's mind was immature.
Outside the Taoist Academy, a group of disciples heard Jingtian's words clearly.
"Although this Jingtian has some strength, he is too arrogant. You must know that Elder Du is listening right next to him!" Sun Qi was afraid for a while.
"But Sun Qi, Jingtian has realized the power of the sword. Isn't it true? I heard from others that Xuanguang and the dean of Shenji Taoist Academy went to the chief deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall to discuss assisting Jingtian a few days ago.
The matter of being transferred to another hospital."
"Shut your crow mouth!" Sun Qi glared at the man, "Do you know what a loss it will be to our Taoist temple if Jing Tianzhen really leaves? If Shenji and Xuanguang are really stronger than us, then why
The top spot in last year’s demon slaying event was ours?”
"This..." The man was speechless and stopped talking.
Sun Qi then looked inside the door.
When Su Xing heard Jingtian's answer, he sighed in his heart and slowly drew out his spiritual sword.
"Buzz."
The dark spiritual sword left its scabbard, trembled slightly in the air, and made a clear and pleasant sword cry.
Under the bright sunshine, everyone's eyes naturally fell on the eye-catching black sword.
Seeing the shape of the black sword, the exquisite stripes carved on the blade, and the ten diamond-encrusted beads on the hilt, everyone swallowed their saliva and sighed in their hearts, "Good sword."
Du Jia and Han An did not recognize the spiritual sword at all, thinking that Su Xing had changed his sword after entering the inner mountain.
Su Xing held the sword, stared at Jingtian opposite him, and said, "I hope that through this sword test, you can understand something else."
"What should I understand? What else do I need to understand? There is nothing left here that I can miss."
Jingtian's tone was arrogant, his cold eyes fixed on Su Xing, and he smiled fiercely.
"It's okay, you'll know later," Su Xing tightened his grip on the sword, "According to the rules within the sect, you should make the first move in this sword test."
There is an unwritten rule that has always been circulated in the Wanjian Sect, that is, when there are differences in seniority between the two people trying the sword, the younger one should make the move first.
"Just what I wanted."
Jingtian chuckled, stood the sword in front of himself, and slowly closed his eyes.
The next moment, the air in Yuyang Taoist Temple seemed to be stagnant. The wind did not blow, the grass did not move, the birds stopped chirping, and the flying insects disappeared.
A dull and heavy sense of oppression immediately enveloped the entire Yuyang Taoist Temple, sweeping away the previous vitality and vitality.
Under this solemn atmosphere, both Du Jia and Han An, who were watching the battle, and Su Xing, who was standing directly opposite Jingtian, had solemn faces.
"Is this... sword power?"
Su Xing watched Jingtian's movements, and every inch of his body was also sensing the changes between heaven and earth. After Jingtian closed his eyes, he noticed that the atmosphere in the courtyard had become significantly more depressing, making people feel
Somewhat out of breath.
"That's true."
Su Xing sighed secretly in his heart. When he saw Jingtian dancing his sword earlier, he sensed something wrong in the charm of the other person. Then he heard about the other person's identity and background, and he already had a guess.
And now Jingtian's actions also confirm this.
He has indeed understood the power of the sword.
"but……"
Su Xing narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the young man opposite him, "I have just realized that it takes such a long time to prepare even for a move. If this is not a sword test, but a real battle in the outside world, what will happen to the enemy?"
Will you be given so much time to prepare?"
The purpose of the sword test within the sect is to compete one move at a time, so it is allowed to have an excessively long preparation time before making a move.
In the outside world, when fighting with the enemy, the situation is ever-changing, and a moment's pause will cause endless trouble and trouble.
Su Xing stood opposite Jingtian, watching quietly as the silver-white sword in front of the young man transformed into the shadow of a giant sword in the air.
Time passed slowly, and after a few breaths, the sky-holding sword shadow finally took shape. Compared with the sword shadow condensed by the fusion of human and sword, Jingtian's sword shadow is obviously closer to the real form, and the momentum is more powerful.
If the sword shadow of a man and a sword is compared to a firecracker that explodes at any time, then the sword shadow formed by the force of the sword is an explosive bomb activated by a person.
The shadow of the sword floats quietly in the sky, as if it really exists there, silently and without any impact on the outside world.
But the sense of oppression brought by such a giant sword that reaches the sky is dozens of times greater than the shadow of a sword combined with a human sword.
This is the difference between sword power and human sword integration.
Mountains have their potential, seas have their potential, and everything has its potential.
Jingtian's sword force emitted a sharp edge in the dull and dark environment, which stung the eyes of several disciples, but they did not dare to rub their eyes due to the powerful aura.
