In response to the sound, the body shape also rises.
At that moment, Dugu Yong jumped up, turned around in mid-air, and suddenly flew several feet away. Before he could say anything, he had already stepped onto the school field.
People in the world often hear about Dugu Yong’s superb swordsmanship, but they don’t know that his Qinggong is also outstanding. When they saw it now, they couldn’t help but admire him, and some even exclaimed in surprise.
Of course, Xiao Zhun... would not be like this.
As one of the top swordsmen in the world, Xiao Zhun’s lightness skills are obviously not inferior to Dugu Yong’s. Just these two moments do not surprise our Master Xiao.
"Brother Dugu, before taking action, I still have to explain a few things clearly." When Xiao Zhun saw the other party standing still, he immediately started to set the trap.
"Long story short." Although Dugu Yong looked impatient, he was ready to listen.
"Yes." Xiao Zhun nodded, raised his voice again, and said loudly, "Xiao is organizing this 'Sword Discussion Conference' today. One of the reasons is to select a closed disciple. Secondly, I also want fellow swordsmanship practitioners to exchange ideas and help each other here; but no matter what the purpose is, Xiao does not want you to hurt your harmony... So, according to my original intention, you come When we compete in the school field, we should stop at nothing and not fight with our lives."
"But?" Duguyong knew that there should be a "but" next, so he heard the other party's words. He responded with a questioning tone.
When Xiao Zhun saw this, he sneered in his heart, because he knew that the other party was about to take the bait: "But... Brother Dugu is a world-famous master. To be fair, Xiao feels that your swordsmanship may not be better than mine." "It would be a pity if you and I couldn't do it to the fullest if we take action."
"Haha...hahaha..." Duguyong laughed out loud when he heard this. "I thought Zhuang Xiao was going to say something, but it turned out to be this." He paused, "Don't worry, Zhuang Xiao, even if you don't say this, I won't hold back... Likewise, I hope Master Xiao, don't be scrupulous when taking action; as the saying goes, 'life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in heaven', if you can have a thrilling battle with a master like Master Xiao, what's the point of having an 'in case'?"
These few sentences are undoubtedly Duguyong’s innermost thoughts.
We can often see such a plot in martial arts stories: two world-famous masters meet, and each wants to compete with the other, but when it comes time to do it, what happens? For various reasons...such as "wanting to save face for the opponent", "fear of finding out after winning that I tried my best but the opponent didn't", "fear that I still lose even more face even though I tried my best", "fear of really breaking up" "Winning or losing will lead to enmity" and so on. Anyway, due to various ideological baggage, neither of them used their full strength when the fight came... One was "very polite" and the other "kept a hand", and it was a lively tie with a lot of laughter. As the saying goes, "Heroes cherish heroes", hope to see each other again in the future.
This kind of thing... is what Dugu Yong hates the most.
Duguyong’s character determines——When he faced an opponent he recognized, if one party did not go all out in the contest, no matter what the outcome of the encounter, he would have regrets in his heart in the future.
And this regret made him more uncomfortable than death.
Today’s battle may be very complicated in Xiao Zhun’s mind, but in Dugu Yong’s view it is very simple: If I win, it means that you, the sword master, are nothing more than this, this Sword Enlightenment Villa There is nothing I can learn, so I will just leave; if I lose, it means you are better than me, then I will stay here like other swordsmen for you to choose. If you choose me as your disciple in the end, I will I will learn from you humbly, and let’s talk about it if you fail to choose... As for whether there will be casualties during this duel, this is actually secondary. Compared with "human life" and "seeking the Tao", is that a big deal? ?
This is the "way of swordsmanship" that Duguyong follows. He is even more paranoid and arrogant than Lin Yuancheng in the past.
He is like a wildfire, unscrupulous and born just to start a prairie fire.
But today, he faced a piece of solid ice.
A man who is the exact opposite of him in terms of swordsmanship and character, revealing a man who is as cold as a machine.
"Okay, have fun!" Two seconds later, Xiao Zhun saw that the other party had been tricked, so he continued, "Then I won't be nagging anymore..." As he said that, he stood sideways, The will of the sword suddenly spread, and his hand was pressed on the hilt, "...please."
"Please." Duguyong responded, and he drew out the sword and turned the scabbard towards it. He threw it on the ground next to him, stepped forward with a lunge, twisted his waist and raised the sword, assuming a starting posture ready for an attack.
At this moment, there was a solemn atmosphere around the school ground, and everyone held their breath and looked at the two people in the field.
For swordsmen, it is worthwhile to see this kind of confrontation once in a lifetime, just like fans can go to watch a World Cup knockout match live.
Xiao Zhun in the school field has also thought about it: in this battle, it is best if he can kill the opponent. If he cannot kill him, then he will be severely damaged.
He just used words to seduce her for a long time, just for this reason.
This is his best chance to get rid of Dugu Yong before the last step of the plan. Anyway, with Dugu Yong's own words of "life and death are determined", Xiao Zhun can justifiably kill Dugu Yong in public. Take all the moves.
Huh——
After a brief confrontation, it was Dugu Yong who made the first move.
But when he stepped forward with his front foot, he flashed forward and rushed in front of Xiao Zhun. At the same time, he shook his wrist with his right hand and stabbed with his sword. The path of the sword went straight to Xiao Zhun's left rib.
锃——
Xiao Zhun also unsheathed his sword at this time and moved half a step sideways to avoid the opponent's first sword.
After Duguyong stabbed the air with his first move, he immediately flicked his right hand and swept it across like lightning.
At this time, Xiao Zhun seemed to be predicting the future. He had already raised the sword that had just been unsheathed and pushed it against his chest to the left side of his body, just blocking Dugu Yong's first blow. Two swords.
This is Xiao Zhun’s swordsmanship: precise and scientific.
Each of his movements does not look big, without any unnecessary stretching, but it does not appear inadequate; his sword will always be used at just the right time and with just the right strength. , speed and amplitude, appear where they should.
However, this time... something unexpected happened.
Pong——
The moment the swords collided, a huge force that exceeded Xiao Zhun's estimate came from the sword, which shocked Xiao Zhun.
But he is a master after all, and his instantaneous judgment and reaction are very timely. He quickly relaxed the force on his lower body, lifted his feet off the ground, and followed the force to jump a foot horizontally. place, and then the opponent's sword strength was removed.
"What's going on?" Xiao Zhun asked himself in his heart.
He didn’t understand... why Dugu Yong’s sweep was so powerful.
With Xiao Zhun's ability, he only needs to observe the movement and speed of the opponent's sword, as well as the subtlest vibrations of the body and arms, to roughly judge the power contained in the sword move, and formulate a plan accordingly. Come up with the most reasonable response.
The sword strike just now should not have been so powerful. Normally, he could have blocked it steadily, but when he actually caught it, this was the result.
Huh——
It was too late, but it was too soon. Dugu Yong didn’t care what Xiao Zhun was thinking. The next second, he rushed over again.
Xiao Zhun could only think while moving and blocking.
Duguyong’s swordsmanship seems to be open and closed, not very subtle, but Qi Juqi’s every move contains huge power that does not match the speed of the sword. It is difficult to resist using normal coping methods.
Xiao Zhun's swordsmanship is known for its stability. Generally, he will first find out the opponent's sword moves, and then decipher these moves one by one in a short period of time, crushing the opponent to perfection in terms of technique. .
When these two completely different fighting styles faced off, Xiao Zhun seemed to be at a disadvantage, because Duguyong's moves were nothing to break, and they were all moves that could be seen through at a glance. , but actually picking it up made Xiao Zhun feel stretched.
In this way, the two of them went back and forth and fought for more than twenty moves. Basically, Dugu Yong was unilaterally suppressing Xiao Zhun. This development... made the onlookers feel very sad. Surprised, because before the fight started, everyone felt that Xiao Zhun's martial arts should be better than Dugu Yong's, whether from the perspective of age (proportional to internal strength) or the reputation of his peers, but there was no such thing. I thought... a real fight would be like this.
At this moment...
"I understand." Lin Yuancheng in the crowd suddenly said this as if talking to himself.
Several companions standing next to him heard what he said, but most of them were staring at the situation on the school field and had no time to turn around and ask him what he meant.
Only the three-character king,Lin Yuancheng approached Lin Yuancheng with great interest and whispered: "What do you understand?"
"The secret of Duguyong's swordsmanship." Lin Yuancheng replied.
"What is it?" the Three-Word King asked again.
"Heh..." Lin Yuancheng chuckled, "It's actually very simple..."
When Lin Yuancheng told his answer to the Three-Word King, Xiao Zhun on the school field had also Got it.
"I see..." Xiao Zhun said after completing another stance with the opponent, "Brother Dugu...is your sword much heavier than it looks?"
p>
"Hmph... that's easy to say." Dugu Yong, a madman, would not deliberately hide anything in this regard, "Although my sword has an ordinary appearance, it is only slightly wider and longer than an ordinary sword. But the core of the blade is actually mixed with a lot of black iron, so the weight... must be about thirty kilograms."
As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked.
Even Wudang leader Wang Zhenren, who was sitting in the guest seat, couldn't help stroking his beard and exclaiming: "Well...good! What a Duguyong!" After he said this, he continued. Said, "We swordsmen in the world of martial arts, who wield swords with one hand, usually have swords that weigh no more than two or three kilograms (calculated in kilograms). Very few people will use swords weighing more than five kilograms... because the sword is too heavy. , which goes against the principle of one-handed swordsmanship that pursues lightness and dexterity, and is extremely difficult to use... But Dugu Donor can use this 30-pound sword like an ordinary light sword. With such skill, I am ashamed of myself."
Wang Zhenren’s sigh and explanation were mainly for the Wudang disciples around him, so that the juniors would respect Dugu Yong. This special ability has a more concrete understanding.
The other swordsmen present heard this, and they all agreed, secretly sighing at Dugu Yong's strength.
However, Xiao Zhun... didn't care about it.
In fact, after deciphering the secret of Duguyong's swordsmanship, Xiao Zhun's evaluation of Duguyong decreased, and he even showed a dull look.
"No wonder you call it 'Destroying Dragon Sword'..." After a breath, Xiao Zhun said, "Come to think of it...the imaginary enemy you used when practicing this sword technique was not a 'human' from the beginning. , but a giant thing like a 'dragon', so you can use such a heavy sword so that it feels light and heavy..."
"That's right..." Dugu Yong continued, "But I don't know if Master Xiao's swordsmanship skills are still above my level?"
"Huh..." Xiao Zhun smiled, "Well...it's hard to say." He smiled slightly After a pause for half a second, a chill suddenly appeared in his smile, "I only know...my sword has never been considered to deal with anything other than 'people'; but only to deal with 'people', or to deal with 'swordsmen'" At this point...I'm afraid I'm more than a little smarter than you."
After saying this, Xiao Zhun lowered his shoulders and slowly lowered his sword hand.
This movement seems to be very relaxed and slow, but... when the sword in his hand hangs down, the tip of the sword pointsThe moment he hit the ground, a burst of sword energy burst out. Wherever the energy passed, it was like a sharp roar of wind, leaving a gap in the bluestone floor of the school ground.
Xiao Zhun’s strange posture, or the movement that was not considered a “posture” at all, made Dugu Yong’s expression change.
As both top-notch swordsmen, Dugu Yong knew very well that Xiao Zhun’s posture, which seemed very relaxed at first glance, was actually his first offensive posture today. Compared with his previous defensive state, , its deterrence power is worlds apart.
Dugu Yong’s experience and intuition of being in the world of life and death for many years told him that this change in the other party was a signal to go on a killing spree.
For a time, on the school field, the atmosphere of killing was tense, the two heroes looked at each other, and their swords were locked in each other's eyes.
Even a third-rate person can see that starting from the next move, every move the two people face will be a life and death comparison, and every move may determine the winner. .
Of course, it is at this critical moment.
"No! There are goblins in the toilet! A monster is coming up from the cesspit with a red sword!"
A strange cry suddenly came from the school grounds. Coming from the northwest downhill slope.
Everyone who has read the previous document also knows that the "speech amplification" made by Huang Donglai relying on Xuanqi Sect's method is much stronger than what ordinary martial arts masters can create with internal force. In Qixiong Brother Huang's roar at the meeting shocked even Lei Sanniang, the "leopard and lion's throat" of the chivalrous sect, so the effect that his howl can achieve at the moment is self-evident.
The onlookers around the school grounds were still immersed in the duel between the two top swordsmen. When they suddenly heard this sentence, they were all stunned.
The content of this sentence is both monster and cesspit, which makes many people feel baffled and don’t know how to react for a while.
But there is one person... He is already anxious.
That person is naturally our thoughtful Master Xiao.
"A red sword?" Xiao Zhun thought to himself at that time, "That's not right... wasn't my blood sword embryo soaked in the cold pool properly? What's going on? Could it be stolen? "?"
According to Xiao Zhun's original plan, he planned to wait until the "discussion on swords" was almost finished, and then go to pick up the sword in person before the "blood sacrifice" started, but he didn't expect to hear such a sudden One sentence.
Also... In addition to the "red sword", the word "goblin" also concerned him... Outsiders may not know it, but Xiao Zhun himself knew that there was something hidden in his villa. You are a monster. Now that I heard someone mentioning these mysterious things, Xiao Zhun became even more confused. He wondered if it was the Fire Lotus True Lord who was up to something, but he happened to be killed by a certain person. The person going to the toilet was discovered.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhun couldn't wait any longer. After all, the "Blood Sword Fetus" was the core item of his entire plan and there was no room for error.
So, he immediately put away his fighting spirit, cupped his fists at Dugu Yong and said, "Brother Dugu, something unexpected happened.", excuse me, I have to step away for a moment, we will fight again later. "
After saying that, Xiao Zhun did not wait for Duguyong to reply, and rushed out with a single step. While running back, he shouted to the swordsmen on the sidelines: "Comrades, please wait a moment, Xiao is here." Go check it out, come as soon as you go! ”
Before he finished speaking, people had already gone down the slope from the northwest corner of the school ground and ran onto the path leading to the toilet.
Those who maintained order at the scene The people at Wujian Villa reacted very quickly. Dozens of people quickly moved to the entrance of the path and stopped the guests who were curious and tried to follow Master Xiao to check the situation.
Most of the guests are sensible people. No matter what happened over there, Master Xiao has already gone to deal with it personally. Since the gangsters of the Villa stopped here and said they don’t need your help, , then let's not join in the fun.
But... don't forget, there is still an "unreasonable" person on the school grounds.
That Dugu. Yong Yi saw that the duel was only half over, and he was getting high, but the other party actually let him go because of an inexplicable "there's a monster"? What's the matter? You, Xiao Zhun, can't you let your men go and check it out yourself? Stay here until you finish fighting with me?
The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. After holding it in for a while, he simply turned around and rushed towards the northwest corner...
