As time went by, the storm of killing Lin Hai that day gradually began to calm down. The Liuyun Sect, whether it was the inner disciples or the outer disciples, gradually began to focus on another matter. .
The sect competition held every five years!
Liuyun Sect is a relatively ordinary sect in Luo Yuncheng, but it has been passed down for hundreds of years and is quite large. It has thousands of disciples under its command. In order to encourage them to practice, similar competitions must exist.
The sect competition can be said to be a major event for the Liuyun Sect. It is only held once every five years. At that time, not only the senior leaders of the sect will be present, but also hundreds of towns and villages under the Liuyun Sect. Many people came to join in the fun.
Those scenes are extremely spectacular every time!,
Because of this, every sect competition is a good opportunity for inner and outer sect disciples to stand out. Lin Hai, who was killed by Shen Chen, defeated Shadow Chaser Li Xuan in the last sect competition and succeeded. Stand out.
In the blink of an eye, the five-year deadline has arrived, and in less than three months, that exciting day is coming again.
For this reason, the vast majority of disciples in the sect are working hard to cultivate, and it is of incomparable significance to shine in the sect competition. Many disciples who are confident in their cultivation achievements in the past five years are looking forward to that day. one day.
In contrast, the incident of Shen Chen killing Senior Brother Lin Hai was gradually forgotten. However, everyone still remembered the bet. Many people were curious about how Shen Chen and Wang Yue managed to survive in the sect. Won the top five seats among the inner disciples in the competition...
…
Luoyan Peak, in the evening, two figures were still training hard on the top of the mountain, sweating like rain.
"Brother, can't you be gentler with your attack? I'm not Lin Hai, why is your Netherworld Ghost Killing so powerful?"
During the sparring, Wang Yue complained endlessly and quickly threw his ax and quit in anger.
If you look closely, you can see that there is a fresh cut on his right arm. Although it is not big or deep, it is still bleeding out.
And this scar was Shen Chen's masterpiece just now.
"You kid, stop howling. Thanks to your big brother and me, if I were your enemy, your right arm would have been removed by that blow just now!"
At this time, Shen Chen also put away all his energy and walked towards him with an iron sword. He was very dissatisfied with Wang Yue's complaints.
Although it was just a competition, Shen Chen still hoped that Wang Yue would try his best, but this boy obviously failed to do this.
From Shen Chen's point of view, he hopes that Wang Yue, a boy who came out of a small ravine, will become more ruthless. The path of cultivation of a warrior is destined to be blood-stained. Only those who are more ruthless, stronger and more talented can achieve this goal. In the end, he smiled proudly.
"But you are my eldest brother, I really can't do anything..." Wang Yue muttered softly.
Naturally, he knew that Shen Chen was doing it for his own good. However, as soon as he saw that his opponent was Shen Chen, for some reason, he would shrink back when he took action with the two axes in his hand, knowing that he could not beat him. Shen Chen, but was afraid of hurting the latter.
In this regard, Shen Chen was at his wits end. Not to mention the feelings he had over the past few days, just because of the life-saving grace of Wang Yue's family, Shen Chen was determined to find ways to lead Wang Yue further in his cultivation journey.
Liuyun Sect was by no means the limit of Shen Chen's vision. At the same time, he did not want Wang Yue's thinking to stop at such an ordinary sect. However, there were some deep-rooted things that might be difficult to change for a while.
"It's up to you. Anyway, if you're not ruthless enough, you're going to suffer a big loss sooner or later," Shen Chen said with some hatred for iron. "And I also want to remind you that during the sect competition, your grandfather and your sister will probably be They will also come to watch. If you are expelled from the sect in front of them, it will be difficult for you to hold your head up and be a good person in the future."
Shen Chen said this, but it really had an effect. Wang Yue could not care about others, but he could not ignore the feelings of his grandfather and sister. He immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! In order not to embarrass grandpa, I will fight! Isn’t she just a little girl? Could it be that I’m still afraid of her? Brother, let’s do it again!”
The little girl Wang Yue was talking about was naturally Senior Sister Zhong Ling, who was ranked fourth in the inner sect and was spoken of by the inner sect disciples.
If you only need to get one seat, then you only need to defeat the inner disciple who is automatically promoted to fifth place. If you want to get two seats at the same time, then either Shen Chen or Wang Yue must be able to defeat the fifth-ranked inner disciple. Senior Sister Zhong Ling of Four.
The reason is very simple. If Shen Chen defeats Senior Sister Zhong Ling first, then Senior Sister Zhong Ling's ranking in the inner sect will naturally fall to fifth place. At that time, Wang Yue's opponent will be Zhong Ling, who was originally ranked fourth. Senior sister.
This is where Shen Chen and Wang Yue have a headache right now, especially Shen Chen. He is really worried that Wang Yue will not be able to defeat Senior Sister Zhong Ling, so he even did not hesitate to let Wang Yue suffer a slight injury. So that this guy can clear his head a little bit.
"Well! Next, you must grit your teeth and practice hard. That senior sister Zhong Ling, even I am not sure of winning. You better pay enough attention!" Seeing that Wang was getting more energetic, Shen Chen did not forget to take the opportunity to give instructions. .
When Zhong Ling left Liuyun Sect and went down the mountain to practice a year ago, his cultivation was said to have reached the seventh level of the Blood Fusion Realm. Now that one year has passed, he will definitely be stronger than before. Shen Chen himself has some confidence, but Wang Yue It's hard to say for the boy.
Next, the competition continued again, and Shen Chen still performed the first move of Youyou Nine Cuts, Netherworld Ghost Cut!
Now Shen Chen has mastered this move, and its power has reached its peak. This made Wang Yue suffer a lot. In a moment, there were a few more small cuts on his arm.
"Come again!"
With the encouragement of Shen Chen's previous words, Wang Yue also became more ruthless, fighting and losing again and again. After losing, he fought again. The pair of axes in his hands soon let go of their restraints and began to fight with all his strength.
"The mountain-opening ax sweeps through thousands of armies!"
"Netherworld Ghost Slash!"
"Strike Huashan with all your strength!"
"Netherworld Ghost Slash!"
…
The fight at the top of Luoyan Peak lasted for a long time. Shen Chen always used the Netherworld Ghost Slash to deal with Wang Yue.
Youyou Nine Slashes is a killing move that is biased toward attack. Under the pressure of such fierce martial arts, it can stimulate Wang Yue's fighting spirit to the greatest extent and thus hone himself.
Soon, the sky gradually darkened, and stars appeared in the sky.
"Okay, that's it for today. After you go back and apply the medicine for the golden sore, it will be of great benefit to you to carefully think about the process and details of each injury before!" Shen Chen stopped his hand and inserted the iron sword aside.
"Brother, won't you go back with me?" The fighting spirit on Wang Yue's face had not yet dissipated. It was obvious that he had gained a lot before, and he immediately looked at Shen Chen with some doubts.
At this time, Shen Chen had already walked to the edge of the cliff, with his back turned to him. He seemed to be blowing the evening breeze there, which was very comfortable.
"Well, you go back first. I'll relax here and come back later." Shen Chen said with a faint smile without looking back.
"Okay, then I'll leave first!"
Wang Yue didn't suspect anything. He picked up his pair of axes and walked down the mountain. Soon, his figure disappeared into the dense forest.
After Wang Yue walked for a long time, Shen Chen finally turned around.
He glanced at a big pine tree not far away, bowed his hands respectfully into the darkness and said, "Sect Master, there is a cool breeze blowing by the cliff. Why don't you, old man, come out and get some fresh air?"
"Hahaha! What a boy who is observant of every detail. He is indeed a miracle worker who has opened up the meridians in his head!"
As soon as Shen Chen's voice fell, the next moment, accompanied by a burst of laughter, a black shadow swept over from the towering pine tree. It was Liao Yan, the leader of the Liuyun Sect.
Except for Shen Chen and Wang Yue, there had been no movement on the top of the mountain before. Who would have thought that there was a figure hiding there. However, from this point of view, it is enough to show the powerful cultivation of this sect leader.
If Shen Chen hadn't opened up the meridians in his head in advance, had sharp ears and eyes, and the distance wasn't too far away, he probably wouldn't have noticed Liao Yan's presence.
"Boy Shen Chen, I have seen you slay the Netherworld Ghost very skillfully before. It seems that your talent in swordsmanship is not weak. Why don't we also compete and learn from each other!"
Liao Yan stepped forward from the darkness, and at some point, there was a sword in his hand.
The sword's edge was rounded and gleaming with cold light. It looked like it was no ordinary thing. Liao Yan put the sword behind him and stared at Shen Chen with a smile, and there was a hint of excited fighting spirit in his brows.
It looked like a camel in the desert suddenly saw a pool of water.
"This... well, please give me some advice from the sect master!"
Shen Chen was a little bit dumbfounded. Looking at the appearance of the sect leader, it seemed that he couldn't hide from this battle. The latter wanted to spar with him regardless of the huge gap in status and cultivation. It was obvious that he hadn't fought with anyone for a long time. My hands are itching unbearably.
In this regard, Shen Chen was very happy. On the one hand, he was grateful to Liao Yan for speaking out in defense. On the other hand, Shen Chen also wanted to see the power of the peak warrior of the Blood Fusion Realm.
"Netherworld Ghost Slash!"
Immediately, without any unnecessary nonsense, Shen Chen thrust out his sword, set off a whirlwind, and stabbed Liao Yan extremely cunningly.
Shen Chen's extremely skillful first move of Youyou Jiuzhan came, but the leader Liao Yan did not dodge and stood there quietly.
There was a slight smile on Liao Yan's face, and he didn't even put up a posture to accept the attack.
The next moment, just when Shen Chen was about to pierce Liao Yan's chest with his sharp sword, the sect leader took action.
"clang!!!"
I saw Liao Yan's sword swung horizontally, blocking it in front of him without any fancy, the blade was impartial, and just met the tip of Shen Chen's sword, splashing a string of sparks, and the momentum of Shen Chen's impact was also in This moment came to an abrupt end, and it was difficult to make any further progress.
The most astonishing thing is... At this moment, the tip of Shen Chen's sword is less than an inch away from Liao Yan's chest. If he moves forward even a fraction, his iron sword can drink blood.
However, this insignificant one-inch gap was like an insurmountable gap. No matter how hard Shen Chen tried, he could not move at all.
"this……"
Shen Chen was speechless in surprise. Ever since he learned the Youyou Jiu Zhan, Shen Chen had never felt so frustrated about this martial art. His attack was clearly fierce, but in front of Liao Yan, he was treated so lightly. took it.
The leader of the Liuyun Sect didn't even use any moves, he just took advantage of the situation and blocked it.
Is the difference really that big?
Shen Chen was a little confused, but soon, he also discovered the clues. In front of him, about two meters away, lines of blood were really flowing between Liao Yan's arms and legs.
Counting them carefully, no more, no less, exactly twelve!
At this point, Shen Chen finally understood how amazing the power of a twelfth-level warrior in the Blood Melting Realm was. At that level, instinct alone was enough to take on his Netherworld Ghost Slash.
"Your swordsmanship is very tricky, but... this little skill alone is not enough to show your shame in front of me?" Liao Yan said meaningfully.
"Ahem... Then I'll use the last trick to cut off the flow of the quiet spring." Shen Chen scratched his head and pretended to be confused.
"Okay, don't hide your clumsiness. I want to see the effect of your Youyou Nine Slashes, a combo of three moves. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions and I won't tell others about this!" Liao Yan smiled lightly. road.
When Shen Chen heard this, his heart immediately tightened. Youyou's Nine-Zhan Combo move was a big secret of his, and it involved a mysterious mirror. No one had ever seen it except the dead Lin Hai. How could the sect master know about it?
But soon, Shen Chen felt relieved. This sect leader was famous for his swordsmanship, and his understanding of swordsmanship moves was naturally extraordinary. It was not surprising that he could figure out some of the secrets of "Youyou Nine Slashes" from the fragments. strangeness.
"Haha, the sect leader really has a sharp eye. You have seen this, okay, I will do my best!"
Shen Chen smiled awkwardly, feeling as if someone had stepped on his tail.
"Netherworld Ghost Slash!"
"Shadow Ghost Sword!"
"The quiet spring has stopped flowing!"
After the embarrassment, Shen Chen also took action fiercely. In front of the sect leader, he didn't have to worry about anything. Although the three-move combo was extremely powerful, Liao Yan, the sect leader, was not as good as that idiot Lin Hai.
Shen Chen knew very well that he was still far from being able to compete with the twelfth-level powerhouse in the Blood Melting Realm.
"Yeah! That's right. No wonder he was able to kill that unlucky guy Lin Hai. The power of Youyou's nine slashes at the same time is really amazing. I really don't know how powerful the nine slashes would be if this martial art was complete!"
Seeing that the sword shadows swung by Shen Chen quickly connected into one, Liao Yan couldn't help but admire him greatly, and then he also jumped up and responded.
"Since you have given your best, I will also let you see the exquisiteness of our sect's martial arts - Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword. Let's see the moves!"
