Section 37: Good intentions and good means
This is the day for sword discussions. The cicadas are noisy and the trees are in the shade. Wei Shiqi follows the disciples from Xiandu to Chixia Valley to test the sword. In front of the stage
.
The sword test platform is a huge stone dozens of feet square, about half a foot high, with an uneven surface, ocher red, and crisscrossed with sword marks. It is said that the sword test platform is only the tip of the iceberg exposed above the ground, and the part buried underground is a hundred times more, and it is connected with the mountains surrounding Chixia Valley as a whole.
There were hundreds of sword cultivators present, headed by Qin Zijie and Ruan Jing. The heads of the seven side sects were on the left. Huo Mian, Zhou Ji and other direct disciples of Kunlun were on the right. Qin Zijie of the Five Elements Sect presided over the sword discussion in public. He said a few words of encouragement, but the only thing worthy of attention was that only by receiving a sword energy from him would he be qualified to participate in the sword discussion.
The disciples of the seven sects of the side branch were scattered in a dark crowd beside the sword testing platform. Outside the immortal capital, Wei Shiqi only knew a few people, including Sun Ergou of the Pingyuan sect, Shang Jiannan, and Xuantong sect. Cao Yu, the rest are all unfamiliar faces.
Wei Rongniang reminded him: "Be careful, Elder Qin's Sanyang Sword Qi is not easy to pick up -" Before he finished speaking, Qin Zijie pulled out a red long sword from the sword pouch and activated it. With the sword technique, he unleashed hundreds of sword energy, like a heavy rain hitting pear blossoms, and shot towards the disciples of the seven sects.
Wei Shiqi received the sword energy from Ruan Jing and was on guard. He immediately took half a step forward and picked up the iron rod. He saw the sword energy coming and swung it away with all his strength. The moment he touched the sword energy, he suddenly Twelve layers of true essence were superimposed layer by layer, a thick yellow light suddenly lit up, and the iron rod was slightly bent into an arc. [I just love reading]
The sword energy broke through many obstacles, and it dived into the iron rod like a fish, swimming upstream. Wei Shiqi's heart trembled, and he tried his best to activate his true energy, but he could not stop it. The sword energy was approaching, and just when he was feeling depressed, another familiar sword energy penetrated into the iron rod, and was still three inches away from the tiger's mouth, extinguishing the three Yang sword energy. Wei Shiqi took a deep breath to calm down the raging blood in his chest. He stood up and looked around, only to see the disciples of the seven sects falling down. Only twenty or thirty people could safely receive Qin Zijie's sword energy. (本章由77nt.Com 26356;新)
He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Ruan Jing, but saw the corners of her mouth curl up slightly and wink mischievously.
Huo Mian's eyes were as bright as fire and he had already seen clearly. He announced the names of the disciples of each sect one by one. When it was the turn of Xiandu, he paused and called Li Shaoyu, Deng Yuantong and Wei Shiqi. . Doubts abounded in his mind. How could Wei Shiqi still be considered a disciple of Xiandu when he had clearly joined the Kunlun Sword Controlling Sect? His cultivation level is mediocre and he can't even catch his own sword.How could he escape from the master's sword energy?
Wei Rongniang and Zhao Zongxuan were also shocked. Wei Shiqi's performance was too outrageous. Could it be that he had been hiding his strength until the Chixia Valley Sword Discussing and became a blockbuster? On the contrary, Xi Huzi nodded secretly, guessing that Ruan Jing helped him.
There are seven sects from the Kunlun branch, each with three people, and a total of 21 disciples are selected to catch and compare swords with each other, and the order of the seven sects is determined by the number of wins. Those who admit defeat will lose, those who are struck by swords will lose, and those who are forced to step down will lose. The disciples participating in the sword competition give it their all and give it a try. Their safety is left to the master of the sect. If someone accidentally hurts someone, they will not be held accountable. If there is a thin line between victory and defeat and it is difficult to tell, the decision will be made by Elder Qin, who presides over the sword discussion.
The first game was between Xiandu and Yuxu. Xi Huzi ordered Wei Shiqi to fight. The disciple sent by Yuxu was Li Mu, who was of the same generation as Wei Shiqi.
Li Mu carried a flying sword on his back and took the lead on the sword testing platform. Why not the leader of the Yuxu Sect stepped forward, walked to the west side of the sword testing platform, and stood behind him.
He is quite confident about this apprentice. Li Mu is very high-spirited and works extremely hard. He has already broken through the Jianmang Pass. Among the three disciples of the Yuxu Sect who participated in the sword discussion, he is in the middle in strength, second only to his senior brother Zhao Zhirong. Not long after Wei Shiqi joined the Immortal Capital, although he accepted After getting rid of Elder Qin's sword energy, no matter how high his cultivation level was, there would be limits, so he was not worried about Li Mu.
Wei Shiqi followed Li Mu onto the sword-testing platform. His fingers touched the sword pouch at his waist, and his heart was as calm as water. What was coming is finally here
Li Mu's flying sword is made of hundreds of smelted iron mixed with copper. The name of the sword is "Purple Phoenix".
Wei Shiqi pulled out the iron rod, assumed a "raising fire to set fire to the sky" posture, stopped quietly, and waited for Li Mu to take action first.
Li Mu frowned slightly. This disciple from Xiandu used a black iron rod. He must be good at close combat. Why not take action first? Surprised thoughts flashed through his mind. His right shoulder swayed slightly, and the Purple Phoenix Sword rose into the sky, turning into a stream of purple light and striking at the opponent's chest. The speed was not very fast, and there was still room for movement and change.
The moment Wei Shiqi drew his sword, his right arm suddenly twitched, and the iron rod flew out of his hand, rolling like a wheel and hitting Li Mu. The shadow of the rod covered most of him. Body.
If Li Mu ignored it and used the flying sword to attack his opponent, he would definitely be hit by the iron rod and both sides would be injured. However, he had no choice but to save sideways, rolled with the force, dodged the iron rod, turned over, and jumped up. He urged the sword seed to retract the flying sword, and the purple phoenix sword suddenly stopped its motion and flew back like a tired bird returning to its nest.
While throwing the iron rod, Wei Shiqi exerted force on his legs and feet, and pounced on Li Mu like a tiger descending the mountain, intending to win with fists and kicks. He stared at the Purple Phoenix Sword, and when the flying sword was close, he released the Hidden Snow Sword from the sword pouch to fight. However, he did not expect that Li Mu would not advance but retreat, and his plan failed, and he became He faced the Purple Phoenix Sword with his bare hands.
Wei Shiqi was tall and had long legs, and he got three feet in front of him. Li Mu was able to catch the Zifeng Sword. His true energy was destroyed, and a foot-long blade shot out from the tip of the sword.The light of the cut sword was flowing with purple and blue, uncertain, and reflected the greenness of his beard and hair.
The situation has been decided, and Li Mu is determined in his heart. He is waiting to leave a few points to prevent the sword light from accidentally injuring the opponent. Suddenly, there is a sound of wind behind his head, and his shoulders go numb. He is firmly grasped by a big hand and moves backwards. With a flick, his body flew up into the air involuntarily, and he and his sword were thrown several feet away.
The person who took action was the leader of Yuxu Sect, He Buping. He held a long and narrow flying sword between the thumb and index finger of his right hand, the tip of the sword was still half a foot away from his chest.
He Buping's face changed, and he said coldly: "What a good idea, what a good means!" He handed the flying sword to Wei Shiqi, who stretched out his hands to accept it respectfully, bent down and saluted, Be courteous and considerate.
He Buping retracted his right hand into his sleeve, feeling annoyed and secretly frightened. Wei Shiqi was very insidious. He fought openly with an iron rod, but secretly he hid a flying sword. When Li Mu urged the sword light, he only took out his throat with one sword. Why Buping rescued him in time? At first, he only used 50% of his true energy, but he failed to hold the flying sword. He hurriedly added another 20%, and his two fingers were slightly bruised by the sword's spine.
Wei Shiqi put the sword into his sword pouch. He Buping narrowed his eyes and said: "The sword is good! What's its name?"
"The Snow Sword is hidden in the capital of immortality."
He Buping nodded and called his apprentice: "Mu'er, let's go, you lose."
Li Mu's face turned red and green, then blue and white. Stomping his feet, he turned around and walked away, disappearing in the blink of an eye. He Buping sighed, knowing that this blow was too heavy and Li Mu would probably never recover. Instead, he hoped that Wei Shiqi could stand out in the sword competition, so that Li Mu would feel better.
Wei Shiqi glanced at Ruan Jing vaguely. She was playing with a jade whistle boredly and didn't care at all. He bowed slightly to He Buping and stepped away from the sword-testing platform. The moment he turned around, he clearly noticed the gaze cast by Qin Zijie. There was heat hidden in the calmness, as if it was substance.
Xi Huzi was greatly surprised. He could see clearly behind Wei Shiqi. After not seeing him for several days, he was completely reborn and practiced sword control. Could Ruan Jing really have the Midas touch to turn gold into gold? No matter what, this is a good thing. Xiandu may be able to get rid of the fate of being at the bottom in this sword discussion and win seventeen years of breathing space.
But the threat from Huo Mian and the Five Elements Sect was always like a big mountain, weighing heavily on his heart.
