Section 22: Maximizing Changes
Wei Shiqi put the iron rod on his shoulder. Seeing that Han Tuo had no intention of taking action first, he was a little eager to try. This was the first time he faced the Flying Sword. The legendary Flying Sword came and went without a trace. It could pick off human heads from thousands of troops, just like finding treasure in a bag. However, from what he saw, no matter if it was Deng Yuantong’s Qing Dynasty, The Bee Sword, Wei Rongniang's Star-falling Sword, Qi Du's Star-falling Sword, Qian Ju'an's Stone Fire Sword, and Cao Yu's Love-Seizing Sword are not so fast. For him, as long as the flying sword is not fast enough , there is an opportunity to take advantage of.
For physical practitioners versus sword practitioners, the safest strategy is to fight in close quarters, using one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. However, Han Tuo gave way first. At this time, he rushed to hit the front wheel with his stick, which went against the original intention of the competition and was also out of grace. Wei Shiqi thought for a moment, murmured a vague spell quickly, stretched out his left hand and pointed towards Han Tuo's move was both like a move and a greeting.
As if being touched by a cold and evil hand, Han Tuo's whole body was covered with cold hairs, his soul was swaying, and his mind was lost. His face changed drastically, and he instinctively activated his true energy, accumulating energy. The flying sword that had been moving for a long time suddenly flew up, crossing a graceful arc, like a goshawk fighting a rabbit, and struck directly between the opponent's chest and abdomen.
Whether it was interference or provocation, everyone could see clearly that Han Tuo acted hastily and did not do it deliberately. [I just love reading] What’s the mystery behind Wei Shiqi’s waving hand?
Deng Yuantong has been immersed in the Soul-Searching Technique for many years and knows it very well. He snorted and whispered: "It's the Soul-Searching Technique, boy!"
The dagger flew by Halfway through, the iron rod slipped from Wei Shiqi's shoulder. He twisted his waist and legs and assumed a weird posture, which was both golf and baseball. When the flying sword entered three feet in front of him, he swung the iron rod upward diagonally. When the true energy was pouring out, a dark yellow light lit up, condensing and not dissipating, just like its substance. [Qianqian Novel]
Liu Baizi's heart was thumped. He had actually mastered the Qi of Gentu to such an extent that none of the second-generation disciples of Xiandu could match him
Han Tuo secretly screamed that it was bad, his opponent had perfect timing for taking action. He realized that it was too late to change the direction of the flying sword, and he could only watch the iron rod hit the sword body.
The sticks and swords intersect, and the dagger bends from it, turning into a curved ruler, flying high into the sky.
Han Tuo narrowed his eyes and looked at the dagger, stretched out his hand and made a move. Suddenly, his chest felt tight, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out. Almost at the same time, the dagger broke into two pieces, bursting out with a dazzling brilliance. Like gorgeous fireworks, they fall one after another.
Wei Shiqi swung his stick and smashed the sword into pieces, injuring Han Tuo as well.
Xi Huzi nodded slightly. Wei Shiqi’s cultivation level was mediocre, but his combat power was above everyone else. Just looking at his response when facing the enemy, he first used the soul-searching technique to interfere with Han Tuo, forcing him to rush He took action, waited until the flying sword was close and unable to change its momentum, then swung his stick to meet the attack, relying on strength to bully the weak, using strength to defeat skill. Both the reaction and the timing were perfectly grasped, thus establishing the victory in one fell swoop. Xun Ye was not wrong about him. He was indeed a good man and would one day become famous.
Wei Shiqi bowed to Han Tuo and said, "Senior Brother Han, I accept the concession."
Han Tuo was a little confused, coughed repeatedly, caressed his chest and retreated behind Liu Baizi, unable to figure himself out Where exactly did you lose?
Liu Baizi threw a healing elixir to his apprentice and frowned at Wei Shiqi. He only fired one stick, obviously not using his full strength. Even if Han Tuo was not disturbed, he used all his strength to move Fei Qi. I'm afraid the sword will also be defeated by his stick, it can only last a little longer. The senior brother's vision is indeed extraordinary. He accepted this disciple and taught him not the flying sword but the Roaring Moon Technique and the Crazy Demon Stick Technique. He used the iron rod to restrain the flying sword in order to stand out in the competition and win a Chixia Valley Sword Discussion. He, as a junior fellow apprentice, was willing to take the seat and be far-sighted.
He thought he had guessed Xun Ye's intentions, and felt a little proud.
The battle between Wei Shiqi and Han Tuo lasted very short time, and the winner was decided as soon as they met. It was like a song that ended after just the first few lines, leaving everyone unsatisfied. , all eyes turned to Xie Falcon and Duan Wenhuan.
The flying swords used by Xie and Duan are the same as those of Han Tuo. They are short swords forged by Bai Zang Palace for inner disciples to practice sword control. They are more powerful than Broken Dragon Sword and Zhan Lu Sword. Much inferior. Swords are easy to come by, but flying swords are hard to find. It is not easy to find a flying sword that suits you. Even the direct disciple of the sect cannot do it with one hand. Wei Rongniang still relies on Xun Ye for her Fallen Star Sword. I tried every means to cast it for her, but the quality of the sword was mediocre and unsatisfactory.
Xie Falcon and Duan Wenhuan were promoted to the inner sect at the same time, and their cultivation levels were similar. They had just broken through the sword-controlling pass a year ago. They knew each other well, and they did not use any tricks and honestly struck each other with swords. The two flying swords come and go, chopping, chopping, collapsing, teasing, blocking, washing, cutting, stabbing, stirring, pressing, hanging, and sweeping. They are as graceful as a startling giant, as powerful as a swimming dragon, and they perform all kinds of changes.
It is very fancy, very exciting, very beautiful, and can even be used as a model for swordsmanship, but it is a performance, not actual combat. Obviously neither Xie Falcon nor Duan Wenhuan realized this.
Xi Huzi couldn't help but sigh, quite disappointed with the methods used by Deng Yuantong and Wei Rongniang to train their disciples. In a nutshell, sword control is the control of flying swords. Flying swords are different from sword skills. Some sword control is good at speed, some are good at killing, and some are good at protection. The standard for judging superiority is nothing more than "fastness". ”, “accurate” and “stable”. Xie and Duan's sword control obviously runs counter to these three words.
When the fight was at its peak, Duan Wenhuan gathered his energy and used his flying sword to suppress the opponent's flying sword, freeing up space to throw out a "Fire Snake Talisman". Not wanting to make a mistake in his haste, the Fire Snake Talisman He spontaneously ignited without wind, and the talisman came back to bite his body, causing a mess. Xie Falcon took the opportunity to rush forward with his sword and directly took the opponent's head. Seeing that the apprentice had no way to deal with it, Wei Rongniang had no choice but to take action and used the Falling Star Sword to save her apprentice from piercing the skull.
In the second competition, Duan Wenhuan lost and Xie Falcon narrowly won.
