There seemed to be something passing by in the air, like a startled glimpse, which made people feel inexplicably palpitated.
A petite girl stood motionless.
The indifferent look was just a casual glance, and the person it looked at would dodge in an extremely embarrassed manner, not daring to look at him at all, as if he would be killed on the spot if he looked at him for a moment.
On the huge martial arts stage, a petite girl stood on one side, as steady as a bell.
From the beginning of the match, he didn't make any unnecessary moves, he just kept his eyes firmly fixed on his opponent.
That's all.
But as the girl's opponent, she looked quite embarrassed.
Not to mention being close to the girl, it is a blessing to be able to stop myself from being embarrassed.
There was some viciousness and resentment in this young man's eyes.
He never thought that he would be forced into such a desperate situation by a girl.
You know, in the ranking within the sect, he has always been in the top five. Except for the senior brother who has entered the fifth level of Tongqiao Realm and is traveling, even the other three may not necessarily be able to
Beat yourself.
But now!
But he was about to lose to someone he had never paid attention to.
no!
This can't go on like this!
This competition is very important!
He can't afford to lose!
Because the sect competition has always been a single elimination, it is not only a test of the school's personal strength, but also a test of personal luck - those with unlucky luck can naturally pick weak opponents along the way and watch others compete with the strong;
Of course, if your personal strength is extremely strong, you can naturally crush your opponent with this, regardless of the opponent's great luck.
When he learned about his chosen opponent today, the young man felt a little proud.
Because he was also recognized by famous swordsmen at the Sword Tomb, the Qingyue Sword in his hand combined with the "Qingfeng Sword Technique" he majored in complemented each other and were unfavorable.
Logically speaking, he can suppress his opponent.
But……
Why?
The young man couldn't understand.
Qingyue Sword and Yunyin Sword may be comparable in terms of quality, but the combination of Qingyue Sword and "Qingfeng Sword Jue" is the best. Let's not say how powerful the two are when they complement each other, but "Qingfeng Sword"
"Jue" With the added effect of the Qingyue Sword, the attack range has been greatly improved. As long as it is used properly, the Yunyin Sword, which is good at hiding, can be forced out.
And the Hidden Cloud Sword...
As we all know, once this almost transparent flying sword is caught, it will never be able to hide again.
No sword cultivator would allow such a dangerous flying sword to remain lurking.
But why?!
Why can't I catch it?
The boy's rhythm finally started to become a little panicky.
…
"Zhao Changfeng is going to lose."
"Yes, I originally thought he would be able to secure a spot this time... It's a pity."
"It's really a pity. After all, no one was optimistic about Su Xiaoxiao before this."
"If you want to truly exert the power of the Cloud Hidden Sword, you must at least achieve your true destiny. Who would have thought that it would be the result now."
The sound of slight conversation sounded slightly on the viewing floor.
That was the sound of communication among the elders at the bottom of Hidden Sword Pavilion.
Although these elders of the Hidden Sword Pavilion are also named elders, most of them are elders responsible for the internal affairs of the Hidden Sword Pavilion sect. To put it bluntly, they are just the person in charge of some chores. They have a little power, but their power is basically not great, and they have nothing to do with real power.
people.
Nineteen sects, even the thirty-sixth sect, and the seventy-two sects all have such a group of "nominal elders" - most of them are in the soul condensation realm, they are in the fairyland that cannot be broken through in the sect, or they are extremely
A disciple of the sect who wants to continue competing. A monk like this can naturally be regarded as a middle-class member of the sect.
The mainstay, after all, not only the operation of a sect is inseparable from the elders who handle the sect's chores, but also the handling of some external business and the selection of leaders of some small secret realms also require such a group of "nominal elders"
Responsible, because after all, the name of disciple lacks a bit of majesty.
But the nominal elders will ultimately be inferior to the real elders with real power in the sect.
Not to mention the Supreme Elder who almost ignores the affairs of the sect, but whose status is not at all inferior to that of the sect leader.
At this time, on the highest floor of the observation tower, there were several Supreme Elders who were also watching the competition.
Logically speaking, a mere internal competition within the Cangjian Pavilion sect in the Tongqiao realm would not be able to attract the attention of these supreme elders.
But at this time, the background of both sides competing in the field was really high, so naturally many elders took the time to make such a trip.
"Zhao Changfeng did not lose unjustly."
At this time, a Supreme Elder slowly spoke.
"It is indeed not unfair." Another old man, whose beard and hair were white but whose face was a little rosier and had a childlike look, nodded slowly, "Elder Su taught me well."
"I didn't teach you this." A middle-aged man called Elder Su said in a deep voice, "I didn't teach Xiao Xiao these things."
After hearing this person's speech, the other four Supreme Elders on the balcony were all stunned.
Zhao Changfeng is a blood relative of Zhao Chengzhong, the Supreme Elder of Cangjian Pavilion. He is also from the same sect and has outstanding talents. Whether it is for sect considerations or family considerations, he is expected to carry the flag among the next generation of disciples, so naturally
Zhao Chengzhong had high hopes for him, and he kept making small plans in private.
At this time, Zhao Changfeng's opponent had an equally impressive background.
Su Xiaoxiao, a direct disciple of the Fantasy Sea Sword Immortal Su Yunhai, was a new genius who was recognized as the master of Yunyin Sword in the Sword Tomb.
Although he has the same surname as Su Yunhai, he is actually not a relative of Su Yunhai. It is just a coincidence. The reason why Su Yunhai accepted Su Xiaoxiao as his disciple was because the previous owner of Yunyin Sword was Su Yunhai's direct descendant.
disciple-
- A genius who once ranked on the list of sword immortals in the world, but unfortunately he was later killed by Tang Shiyun's sword - so in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, no one knows the characteristics of the Yunyin Sword better than Su Yunhai, so naturally, Su can only let him
Yun Hai came to teach Su Xiaoxiao.
But one thing we all know is that in order to truly utilize the characteristics of the Yunyin Sword, the sword owner must at least reach the realm of his own destiny.
So even though Su Xiaoxiao's cultivation is insufficient now and she has never gotten any good rankings in the inner sect competition of Hidden Sword Pavilion, no one in Hidden Sword Pavilion dares to underestimate her. Because everyone knows very well that once Su Xiaoxiao
The moment she steps into her natal realm, that's when she soars into the sky.
If Zhao Changfeng is expected to become the leader among the next generation of young disciples of the sect, then Su Xiaoxiao will definitely become the leader to carry the banner. Even now, within the sect, there is no doubt about Su Xiaoxiao
There are already terms such as "Second Xu Yue" and "Little Xu Yue".
You must know that in the comments of the generation of young disciples of Wanshilou in Xuanjie, Xu Yue is one of the few geniuses who has been designated as an "immortal".
Su Xiaoxiao's potential is evident.
But no matter how good the potential is, there will still be a gap before it grows up.
This can be seen from the fact that Su Xiaoxiao was only in the top fifty in the last inner sect competition, and in the subsequent annual competitions, her best result was just barely among the top twenty.
After all, Su Xiaoxiao still hasn't really grown up.
At this time, it had only been a year since the sect's last group competition among many disciples in the Tongqiao Realm. Can Su Xiaoxiao force Zhao Changfeng into a state of embarrassment?
this……
All the Supreme Elders looked in disbelief.
"Before, everyone in the sect said that Su Xiaoxiao was the second Xu Yue. I thought it was just the disciples who praised her, but I never thought..." A Supreme Elder shook his head and sighed, with a helpless bitter laugh on his face,
"I was wrong."
"Indeed." The supreme elder with white hair and childish face and extremely energetic eyes narrowed his eyes, "Her current swordsmanship is very much like Xu Yue's... However, the swordsmanship she learned is not Xu Yue's style, right?"
Hidden Sword Pavilion is different from Wanjian Tower.
Although the Hidden Sword Pavilion also has sword manuals, most of them must be combined with the flying swords of the Sword Tomb to exert their maximum power.
For example, Zhao Changfeng's Qingyue Sword and "Qingfeng Sword Technique" are well-formed packages, which can maximize the power of "Qingfeng Sword Technique" in the early stage. After Zhao Changfeng is promoted to the natal realm, he can use "Qingfeng Sword Technique"
Replace with
"Mingyue Sword Art" will then be able to maximize the lethality of the Qingyue Sword. And when Zhao Changfeng is promoted to the Earth Fairyland, combined with "Qingfeng Mingyue Sword Art", the flying sword and sword cultivation can be complementary to each other.
effect.
The sect teachings of Hidden Sword Pavilion have always been to first nourish people with swords, then use people to nourish swords, and finally reach the ideal state of the unity of man and sword.
But hidden behind this teaching is that once the monks die, their souls will become the nourishment for the swords in the Sword Tomb to grow. In the history of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, no sword cultivator has a good death. But on the other hand, Zang Jian Pavilion has never had a good sword cultivator.
Sword Pavilion is also the sect that cultivates disciples the fastest among the four major sword cultivation holy places. It is not without reason that they can be compared with Wanjian Pavilion, which claims to have the best sword skills in the world.
"Although the sword technique is not the same, the sword technique is similar." Su Yunhai said in a deep voice, "Xu Yue's sword technique is famous for its cleverness. I still think that if she can be recognized by Yunyin Sword, her strength can even be
Beyond the rhyme of Tang poetry."
The "immortal" name that Wanshilou gave to the Xuanjie monks was not chosen randomly.
For example, Guanghan in Tang Shiyun means "a sword of light and cold", which implies that Tang Shiyun's sword is enough to sweep across the entire mysterious world.
In fact, she had only lost to one person when she was in the Soul Condensing Realm.
Even Kong Buhui, who is known as the number one member of the younger generation of the Demon Alliance, can only remain undefeated under Tang Shiyun's sword and can retreat calmly.
Therefore, the name "Guanghan" is well deserved.
As for Xu Yue, her nickname is "Xuan Yue".
Xuan does not mean black, but refers to mystery.
Moon, that is, Tongyue, also refers to the changes in moon phases.
Therefore, the meaning of "Xuan Yue" is to say that Xu Yue's swordsmanship is changeable, strange and mysterious, and he is a rare pearl on the road of swordsmanship.
People who fight Xu Yue often feel that they are not facing Xu Yue alone, but as if they are facing countless swordsmen, and the pressure is extremely high. Because you don't know Xu Yue's sword energy, or even flying swords.
, at what angle and from what place it will suddenly burst out, it is impossible to guard against it.
At this moment, Zhao Changfeng felt like this.
It was obvious that Su Xiaoxiao had not yet mastered the sword spirit, but with only the barely visible Yunyin Sword, he was already exhausted, which made Zhao Changfeng feel extremely unwilling.
"What a pity." Su Yunhai sighed.
The fair-haired and childlike Elder Zhao also sighed: "Changfeng still doesn't know where he lost, alas... In these years, he has been so successful that he has forgotten what he should maintain as a disciple of Hidden Sword Pavilion.
A sense of awe... It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s better to discover your shortcomings early than to be humiliated when you go to Wanjian Tower later.”
Unlike other elders and sect disciples who simply can't understand.
The five Supreme Elders present could clearly see how Su Xiaoxiao controlled the Cloud Hidden Sword to stay outside the range of Zhao Changfeng's spiritual perception, and then used the airflow generated by the Qingfeng Sword Technique to make the Cloud Hidden Sword move.
The sword moved with the wind, like a small fish moving with the sea current, and easily penetrated the defense line arranged by Zhao Changfeng, causing him a wound.
Su Xiaoxiao was extremely patient and was not greedy to advance. Every time she gained a slight advantage, she would retreat immediately.
Deeply understand the essence of "Leave with one blow" of "Tianyin Sword Art".
And it is precisely this kind of slow-knife slicing that continuously exerts hints and psychological pressure on the opponent, just like psychological warfare, that forces Zhao Changfeng to have a chaotic mentality now. Not to mention the offensive, even the defensive is full of flaws.
In the eyes of all the Supreme Elders, Su Xiaoxiao's Cloud Hidden Sword had already lurked behind Zhao Changfeng's neck.
As long as Zhao Changfeng takes one more step back, this Cloud Hidden Sword will hurt him again.
According to the rules of the sect's competition, a person who is attacked at such a fatal vital point will definitely be judged as a loser.
So by the way, Zhao Changfeng has already lost.
But just when everyone thought so, Zhao Changfeng suddenly shouted: "I've caught you!"
Zhao Changfeng suddenly turned around at this moment, and the Qingyue Sword in his hand struck hard at the position where the Yunyin Sword was hovering.
…
"Okay!" Zhao Chengzhong said with a smile on his face, "After being suppressed and beaten by Su Xiaoxiao for so long, I finally gained something. Even I didn't notice that this kid was actually hiding his clumsiness in acting and forcing Su Xiaoxiao to reveal his flaws.
.”
"Indeed." Someone agreed, "This little guy Changfeng is quite shrewd."
But the next second.
The smiles on the faces of all the Supreme Elders instantly solidified.
"This is it!" Su Yunhai's eyes burst into light, and he suddenly stood up.
Similarly, there are four other elders.
They also looked shocked and incredulous.
"She imitated the changing moon phases in Xu Yue's "Moon Phase Sword Art"!"
…
Zhao Changfeng's Qingyue Sword fell.
There was a faint glow of fluorescent stardust in the air.
Where the Yunyin Sword was supposed to be hovering, there was nothing!
However, Zhao Changfeng's sword strike at this moment almost exhausted all his strength, so that it was too late for him to retract his sword and play it back.
There was a slight tingling sensation in my vest.
That's the damage caused by the sword's edge piercing the skin.
Zhao Changfeng knew this very well.
Because he has experienced this competition no less than thirty times.
But compared to the stinging pain on his skin, what really hurt Zhao Changfeng more was the pain in his soul.
"I...I lost?"
His expression was frozen, with deep disbelief.
"The winner is Su Xiaoxiao."
The voice from the referee confirmed Zhao Changfeng's self-doubt.
"I agree, Senior Brother Zhao." Su Xiaoxiao clasped her fists.
…
On the observation tower, the five Supreme Elders remained silent.
Obviously, none of them expected such a result.
After a long time, Su Yunhai suddenly said with an uncertain expression: "Have you... heard of the "Xuanjie Monk"?"
Several Supreme Elders looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"Huh." Su Yunhai exhaled a breath, "There is a secret door hidden in the second-generation Wanshi Jade Slips launched by Wanshilou... It is said that through this secret door, one can contact a person named "Xuanjie Monk"
Special function, which lists various information on dozens of younger generation disciples of our Xuanjie."
"Yes." Su Yunhai nodded, "Xu Yue's information is also in it. Su Xiaoxiao told me before, and not only Xu Yue. Wang Ren, Yin Yi, and Zhang Zhao also appeared in it. According to Xiao Xiaoxiao
It seems that as long as you cultivate a certain degree of favorability, you can get some insights about their cultivation."
"This..." A supreme elder looked shocked, "It's impossible."
"Then how do you explain the small moon phase change just now?" Su Yunhai turned his head and stared at the other party, "Xu Yue's "Moon Phase Sword Art" can only truly exert its power when matched with her Dark Star Hidden Moon Sword. But
Don’t talk about power, just talk about the development of the sword path.
, the core of "Moon Phase Sword Jue" is the four words 'Yin', 'Qing', 'Yuan', and 'Que'. This kind of thinking is not difficult to imitate, but it is not easy to say. It is not easy to say with only a small ability.
It is impossible to achieve the change just now after more than 10 years of exploration."
"But if Xu Yue is there to guide you, it is very possible to master the essence of 'yin' within a month."
"It's been exactly one month since Xiaoxiao told me about "Xuanjie Monk" before."
There was a moment of silence.
"When Xiaoxiao told me before, I also asked some disciples in the sect who owned the second-generation Jade Slip of All Things, but they all said that there was no such thing. At that time, I even thought that Xiaoxiaokeng had a demonic obstacle in your cultivation, and you still found it.
She talked once." Su Yunhai said with a solemn expression, "But now it seems... I'm afraid there is some triggering mechanism that we don't know about."
"It seems that this matter must be reported to the sect master." Zhao Chengzhong said with a solemn expression, "The sect master must come forward to negotiate with Wanshi Lou to see what Wanshi Lou wants to do."
"It's useless." Su Yunhai shook his head, "This is Wanshilou's conspiracy... According to what I learned from Xiaoxiao, in addition to Xu Yue, there is also Zhang Yuan from Longhu Mountain in this "Xuanjie Monk"
, the sky of demon alliance
No regrets, Xu Yishan from Dahuang City, Zhao Wuji from Tiandaomen, Fang Jie from Shenyu Villa, Situ Yue from Wandao Palace, Mo Xingjian from Baijiayuan, Master Miaode from the Great Sun Tathagata Sect and... Taiyi Valley
Wang Yuanji."
The faces of the other Supreme Elders all changed.
"I don't know exactly what was revealed. But think about it, our families are all involved. Even if we join forces to put pressure on Wanshilou, how do you think the other families will react?"
"They must be eager for us to reveal as many secrets as possible!" A supreme elder with a Chinese character snorted coldly.
"So, even if the leader comes forward, the best result is just that the secrets of our sect's disciples will no longer be leaked." Su Yunhai shook his head, "But since what has happened, there is no point in going there now.
In this case, it is better to wait and see what happens, or even force Wanshilou to announce the secrets of other sects. After everyone is in the water, there will be nothing left to say."
"Wanshilou is playing a little big this time."
"In the past 150 years, the influence of Wanshilou has become worse and worse. Even though there are still three lists of heaven, earth and people that still show their authority, we all know that this so-called list has gradually lost its authority.
"Zhao Chengzhong shook his head, "Confucian and Buddhist disciples are not included in the list, and the Demon League is also not included in the list. Isn't the so-called list of the younger generation of the Xuan Realm a joke."
"That's why there was such a desperate reform." Su Yunhai said in a deep voice, "The Xuanjie monk...hey, what a Xuanjie monk. This time, Wanshilou seems to be planning to bring down all the sects in the Xuanjie, including
The Demon Alliance has wiped them all out in one fell swoop."
"The most urgent task is to figure out how to enter the "Xuanjie Monk" as soon as possible." Zhao Chengzhong said in a deep voice, "Judging from the current situation, our Hidden Sword Pavilion should be the first to discover the secrets here."
?This is how we seize the opportunity, right?"
"In the past six months, our Hidden Sword Pavilion was indeed the first to hold the inner sect competition."
"Do you have an idea?" Su Yunhai looked at Zhao Chengzhong.
"Didn't you say that it contains information about other core disciples of the sect?"
"I heard about the little novel, which card pool needs to be drawn." Su Yunhai said.
"Then let her smoke it!"
"You need Qi Condensing Pills, and I heard... the scale is probably quite large."
"You ask Xiaoxiao to go to the internal affairs office to collect 10,000 Qi Condensation Pills first, and then I will give her 10,000 Qi Condensation Pills after I finish talking to the sect leader." Zhao Chengzhong said with a heroic look, "I will
I don’t believe it anymore, there are so many Qi Condensing Pills but I still can’t draw them!...I’m going to report it to the sect master now.”
"Okay." Su Yunhai nodded.
…
"bite--"
A crisp and sweet voice sounded in Su Anran's cabin.
Huang Zi and Su Anran had been staring at the projection screen, and a smile suddenly appeared on their faces.
"I took the bait." Huang Zi laughed.
"Yes... The inner sect competition at the Hidden Sword Pavilion has just ended. I have arranged for almost hundreds of people there. I think that as long as these people are not stupid, they will definitely achieve good results. It should be enough to cause a stir.
Zangjian Pavilion has investigated and paid attention to it."
Su Anran didn't know that because there were Supreme Elders in the Hidden Sword Pavilion watching the inner sect competition, Su Xiaoxiao had already attracted enough attention when he defeated Zhao Changfeng. The subsequent appearance of the dark horses was just
It just strengthens the belief of Zangjian Pavilion to invest resources in this matter.
But even if she knew, Su Anran wouldn't care.
At this time, he was laughing with a lewd look on his face: "It seems that we can start implementing the second phase of the plan."
"Let's get started." Huang Zi nodded, "We will cooperate with you."
Su Anran nodded, and then posted a post he had already edited on the Wanshi Forum.
[Friend, have you heard of "Xuanjie Monk"? 】
However, the next second Su Anran sent this post.
A heart-stopping low pressure suddenly enveloped the entire Taiyi Valley.
Huang Zi's originally smiling face suddenly changed.
