Qi Xuansu once personally killed masters who were in the stage of returning to the true state, so for him, the stage of returning to the true state is actually not that scary. After all, there is no saying that there is a world of difference between the two realms.
The only thing that needs attention is the inheritance of Yan Mingchen. The Qi Refiner ranks second among the six major inheritances of Taoism, second only to the Banished Immortal of the Celestial Immortal inheritance. It has almost no weaknesses. This is the fundamental reason why the Qi Refiner is superior to the warriors and alchemists.
, it is difficult to be as clever as Qi Xuansu in killing the scholar.
In the past, when Qi Xuansu fought with others, he rarely took the initiative to draw his sword. He always drew his sword with the back hand, but this time he took the initiative to draw the "Qing Yuan" from his waist.
Yan Mingchen was so conceited that he didn't use any weapons and just stretched out his hands slightly.
Qi Xuansu didn't waste any time. He thrust out his sword, bringing out the cold sword energy, and pierced Yan Mingchen's face.
In any case, Qi Xuansu was at the Jade Void stage after all, and after taking the medicinal wine, his true energy became purer and purer, one step closer to the Return to True stage. The "Qingyuan" in his hand was also a spiritual object, and Yan Mingchen did not dare to just
Use the body-protecting Gangqi to resist this sword.
Yan Mingchen was seen standing still on the spot with his feet, pushing forward with one palm.
As this palm was pushed out, the air in front of him began to vibrate and twist violently, causing "Qing Yuan" to be stunned, and his indomitable momentum plummeted.
Qi Xuansu slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if going against the current.
Yan Mingchen had to use his true energy to block Qi Xuansu's sword.
Since Qi Xuansu was at a slightly lower level, he naturally refused to fight head-on and jumped to avoid the surging wind.
At this time, Yan Mingchen was far away from him, and he used his palms to strike from a distance, but Qi Xuansu did not dodge. He only felt a cold air coming over him, and he immediately shivered and froze.
Yan Mingchen's palms had different powers, one yin and one yang. The yin palm came out first, but the yin force went to the body first. Then, the yang palm came behind, and a hot palm wind followed, hitting him almost suffocating and shaking his body.
A few shakes.
The power of the yin and yang palms on the body is originally even more unreasonable, but Qi Xuansu is not a pure Sanren, but also has some martial arts powers, a powerful body, strong blood, and due to the medicinal wine, the true energy is particularly abundant. This
The two palm forces of yin and yang hit his body, and the true energy and blood energy in his body naturally produced corresponding power. It is said that three jade deficiency stages can compete with one return to true stage. Qi Xuansu has true energy and blood energy, which can barely be regarded as two jade deficiency
Although the person in this stage was shaken all over and felt unspeakably uncomfortable, it was nothing to his body, which was comparable to that of a martial artist. He immediately thrust out his sword and stabbed out.
Yan Mingchen succeeded in holding his palms, and said that Qi Xuansu would be seriously injured and fell to the ground, so he opened his mouth to speak. Unexpectedly, he was safe and sound, and then he saw the light of the sword.
Pointing to his palms, in surprise, he crossed his palms and pushed forward.
But the next moment, Yan Mingchen only felt a sharp pain in his heart. He saw that his palms had penetrated the "Qingyuan" in Qi Xuansu's hands. He didn't know whether he stabbed his palms with a sword or struck the palms himself.
When I reached the tip of his sword, I saw that the left palm was in front and the right palm was behind. The tip of the sword penetrated more than three inches from the back of the left palm.
However, Qi Xuansu's sword was the end of a powerful crossbow and could only go so far.
Yan Mingchen groaned, suddenly retracted his palms, pulled away from the sword edge, and jumped out upside down.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuelu, who was watching, couldn't help but praise: "What a good idea."
The reason why we talk about means, not swordsmanship, is that Zhang Yuelu could see clearly. Qi Xuansu's swordsmanship was secondary. The key was to clearly calculate Yan Mingchen's reaction.
Qi Xuansu has magical powers as a martial artist, which no one else knows except Zhang Yuelu. After Qi Xuansu was deliberately hit in the palm, Yan Mingchen obviously thought that Qi Xuansu had been defeated and wanted to withdraw his strength. However, he found that Qi Xuansu was unscathed and changed his withdrawal of strength to exertion.
As soon as he left, not only was the conflict between his own Qi limited, but it was like marching and fighting but the orders were changed day by day. The soldiers were at a loss as to what to do, and they also lost the opportunity.
Qi Xuansu took the opportunity to draw his sword, but he was well versed in the art of war in encircling a point and attacking for reinforcements. He expected that Yan Mingchen would take action to defend, so it seemed that he went straight to Yan Mingchen's chest and stabbed him, intending to hurt Yan Mingchen's life. In fact, he was hiding a follow-up change to target Yan Mingchen.
Defensive moves.
Sure enough, Yan Mingchen was in a panic and pushed out with two palms. Logically speaking, his level of cultivation was higher than Qi Xuansu's, and one palm for defense was enough. It should be one palm for defense and one palm for counterattack, but he overlapped his palms and pushed out at the same time.
The intention was to block Qi Xuansu. However, the true energy in his body at this time was greatly restricted due to his contradictory actions of withdrawing and exerting force. It was less than 50%. Qi Xuansu used mental calculations and unintentional attacks to attack his weakness, relying on the power of spiritual objects.
Sharp, a sword broke through the Gang Qi in the palms and pierced both Yan Mingchen's palms.
After a fight, although Qi Xuansu's cultivation level was low, he had a firm grasp of the situation from the moment he lured the enemy with his body. If Qi Xuansu was also at the stage of returning to his true nature, he would have just pierced his palm, then he could have taken advantage of the situation and thrust his sword straight into Yan Mingchen's chest.
chest.
This is the difference between "wild Taoist priests" and "flower garden Taoist priests". The former's experience of facing enemies and adapting to changes has been ingrained into their bones, but the flower garden Taoist priests can only resort to rigid tactics. Today's world is generally still peaceful and prosperous, even if there are
When secret associations cause trouble, Tiangang Hall and local Taoist authorities are mainly responsible for dealing with it. Other Taoist priests lack practical experience.
In terms of combat experience, many people have no level of cultivation, and their combat power is a mess.
This is also the reason why Tiangangtang has been continuously recruiting elite Taoist priests and wild Taoist priests from the local Taoist government in recent years. This is because the Huayuan Taoist priests are really unable to fight, cannot bear hardships, are pampered, and are difficult to use.
Although Yan Mingchen worked in the local government, he came from a noble family and held a high position. He had been floating in the sky for a long time, his feet never touched the ground, and the soles of his shoes did not touch the mud. No matter where he was on the front line, he would not escape the same stereotype.
Qi Xuansu held the sword in his back, with the tip of the sword facing downwards, and said with cupped hands: "Master Yan, your level of cultivation is indeed high, but your experience in facing enemies is slightly lacking. Let's stop here today."
Qi Xuansu also figured it out. After all, he was at a lower level. He didn't have the upper hand. He could win by surprise, but it was not safe. The two of them had no life-or-death enmity. Now that they had taken advantage, they naturally gave up when they saw the advantage. It was not appropriate to take advantage of the situation and pursue them.
.
However, he made a mistake. He thought there was no hatred of life and death, but in Yan Mingchen's view, it was the hatred of taking his wife. Since ancient times, the hatred of killing his father and the hatred of taking his wife have been parallel, how can he let it go?
Yan Mingchen did not speak, but moved suddenly. His palms instantly occupied all of Qi Xuansu's sight. The wind from his palms hit his face like a strong wind, making people almost suffocated. .??.
The key to this palm is not the strength of the palm, but the ability of this palm to capture people's minds unexpectedly. If the mind is captured and a palm hits the face, they will be seriously injured even if they are not dead.
However, Qi Xuansu did not take it for granted like Yan Mingchen did. He always remained vigilant and dodged immediately. At the same time, he did not forget to shoot the flying knife directly at Yan Mingchen's eyes and vital points, attacking the enemy and saving him from pursuing him.
Zhang Yuelu originally wanted to stop him, but when he saw that Qi Xuansu didn't speak or give in, considering Qi Xuansu's feelings, he stayed put for the time being.
Qi Xuansu's weapon is a short sword, which does not have the advantage of length and can only be used to deceive others.
Yan Mingchen knocked away the flying knife with an expressionless expression, and then used his palm again.
A seemingly simple and direct palm changed twelve times in an instant, and at the same time brought out a huge roaring sound. The majestic Qi caused cracks in the surrounding ground to varying degrees. If it were the flesh and blood of an ordinary person,
If the body is just within the range of this palm, it will be crushed into a ball of blood mist immediately.
The sword edge and the palm collided silently, and then the two of them stepped back.
When the two of them stopped, they seemed calm and calm, but Qi Xuansu's right hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, but Yan Mingchen was not much better. After all, he was a body of flesh and blood, not a warrior's body, and he was carrying it behind him.
the hand
A deep wound was cut on the palm, and the blood continued to flow.
Qi Xuansu said: "What a 'divine palm of creation'."
Yan Mingchen didn't say anything, he just used his palm again.
"The Divine Palm of Creation" is a method of perfection. The power of the palm is astonishing. It also takes into account changes and has infinite power.
Yan Mingchen's palm turned into dozens of palms in an instant, and as far as Qi Xuansu could see, there were layers of palm shadows.
Qi Xuansu also drew his sword, and the layers of sword light filled the air like mist.
For a moment, there were only palm shadows and sword lights, and then a series of dense sounds of gold and stone sounded.
Qi Xuansu was no longer able to take things by surprise. After all, Yan Mingchen must have taken precautions after learning from his past mistakes. This was of little significance, so Qi Xuansu just relied on his own cultivation to compete with Yan Mingchen's moves.
The fight between the two gradually slowed down from the extremely fast pace at the beginning. Qi Xuansu stopped without warning and then suddenly swept forward. The ground beneath his feet shattered into pieces. Yan Mingchen frowned and remained motionless. When Qi Xuansu swept across with his sword, he struck out with one hand.
After holding back, he rolled up the sleeve of his left hand. It seemed like a slight flick, but there was actually the sound of wind and thunder, and it violently collided with the "Qingyuan" sword edge, causing a large string of sparks to rub out.
Then Qi Xuansu raised his foot and kicked Yan Mingchen in the chest. Yan Mingchen hugged Qi Xuansu's ankle, spun his body, and threw Qi Xuansu outward.
Zhang Yuelu's expression changed at first, and then he regained his composure. He saw Qi Xuansu flying straight away from the cliff, but slowly dissipated in the middle. It turned out to be just a fake body, the magical "Cicada Sloughing Technique" of the Sanren Yuxu stage.
With Qi Xuansu's cultivation, he can condense two false bodies, and each time he advances to a higher level, he can get one more false body.
Qi Xuansu's real body had been running for several feet, and then he stepped down a little, and his body swept across like thunder. "Qingyuan" in his hand slashed out a crescent-shaped sword energy, and hit Yan Mingchen like a splash of water.
Yan Mingchen hooked his five fingers and grabbed it, crushed the sword energy directly, and then pushed it flat with his palm.
Yan Mingchen slapped Qi Xuansu on the forehead, and Qi Xuansu stabbed Yan Mingchen on the chest with "Qingyuan".
Qi Xuansu suddenly leaned back and flew backwards. After landing, he stepped on the ground to release his force, leaving a series of footprints.
Yan Mingchen's chest was stained with blood. He slowly rolled up his sleeves with an expressionless face. Only the veins on his arms popped out, like tiny dragons, and there were wisps of purple air flowing in them. They were densely packed and intimidating.
Qi Xuansu said in a deep voice: "Since your Excellency is determined to fight to the death, don't blame me for being ruthless."
