It is not a scheming or a means, it can only be calculated and made according to the circumstances. Wei Shiqi originally planned to distract the opponent's flying sword by surprise, create a gap, take advantage of his physical strength, and use three punches and two kicks to seal the victory. However, he did not expect Li Mu's response and had to use all his cards.
The Hidden Snow Sword was exposed in the first battle, and the subsequent battles will surely be more difficult.
When Wei Shiqi returned to the Xiandu disciples, everyone looked at him with strange looks. He could only smile and watch the disciples of the seven sects competing with each other attentively.
The following scenes were lackluster. Most of the games were about admitting defeat directly. Occasionally there were fights, which were divided at the first touch. There was no need to continue. Wei Shiqi gradually saw the clues. On the first day of the sword competition, there was a huge disparity in strength, and there were rarely evenly matched battles. The purpose of this arrangement was to prevent the strong from fighting prematurely, in which both sides would suffer, and the successors would be weak.
He guessed that in Xi Huzi's mind, he was probably the weakest among the three disciples in Xiandu.
The ten sword fights ended and the sun was not yet past noon. Xiandu won two and lost one. Wei Shiqi defeated Li Mu of Yuxu faction, Li Shaoyu defeated Sun Ergou of Pingyuan faction, and Deng Yuantong lost to Li. Yang sent Xiang Yu. What surprised Wei Shiqi was that Sun Ergou's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. With a python bone whip, he actually fought with Li Shaoyu for a cup of tea before he was defeated.
Wei Shiqi knew Sun Ergou's foundation quite well. Even if his cultivation level improved rapidly, he would not be able to take over Qin Zijie's Sanyang Sword Qi by himself. He noticed a detail. Sun Ergou's python bone whip seemed to have been re-refined, and its power was doubled. The human bone at the head of the whip had three more shadows. It slowly relaxed and puffed out, which was very strange. Li Shaoyu was distracted and used the two swords. He suppressed the python bone whip with all his strength and then found an opening to stab him with the sword.
The sword discussion ended on the first day, and the disciples of the seven sects dispersed. Wei Shiqi followed the Xiandu faction back to Taoyuan Villa and went to see his uncle Deng Yuantong privately.
Deng Yuantong lost to Xiang Yu of the Liyang faction. It was reasonable. The seven Kunlun factions were headed by Liyang and Shaoling. Xiang Yu of the Liyang faction was the best among them, known as Sword Qi. The following is invincible. On the contrary, Wei Shiqi used the weak to defeat the strong and unexpectedly won the game. Deng Yuantong was quite happy and looked at him differently.
Wei Shiqi mentioned an old incident to him. During the winter hunting in Jietian Ridge, Sun Ergou of the Pingyuan faction planned to use requiem incense to charm the white snake spirit, steal the snake eggs, and hatch them. The demon snake extracts its soul and refines it into a python bone whip.
Deng Yuantong heard him talk about this matter outside the miasma leaf forest of the town customs. At this time, the old talk was mentioned again, and he suddenly tasted an unusual taste.
Wei Shiqi described the strangeness of Sun Ergou's python bone whip in a few words. Deng Yuantong felt enlightened and suddenly realized, thinking: "The inner volume of the Soul Captivating Technique taught to me by Master is missing. A few pages turned out to be in Qi Du's hands. Thanks to him, he spent so much time refining the soul into the python bone whip to create the magic weapon!" He has been immersed in the Soul Capturing Art for many years and has been troubled by two problems - How is the Green Hornet Sword forged? How to match the soul refined into the flying sword? The answers to these two questions turn out to be in Qi Du’s hands!
However, these inside stories cannot be told to Wei Qiming. He is an outsider after all. Otherwise, Deng Yuantong would be willing to give some pointers. He pondered for a moment and said, "I understand, you have to be careful when meeting Sun Ergou."
Wei Shiqi saw that he didn't want to say more, so he had to leave.
Early the next morning, with the rising sun and brilliant rays of light, Wei Shiqi ushered in his second opponent, Shen Tuping of the Yuanrong sect.
It was purely by chance that Shen Tuping joined the Yuanrong Sect. He was originally spotted by Han Chisong, the leader of the Xuantong Sect, and planned to accept him as a closed disciple. He did not want to be accidentally killed by a six-winged man on the way to Dishui Cliff. Bite by a water snake, he was poisoned and fell unconscious. Han Chisong tried several elixirs but couldn't find the solution, so he had to send him to the Yuanrong Sect and ask the leader Bu Yue to help him.
Bu Yue was born in the Kunlun Poison Sword Sect and had always been friends with Han Chisong. After checking Shen Tuping's symptoms, he said that although the poison of the six-winged water snake is not violent, it accumulates in the internal organs and corrodes the meridians. It is extremely difficult to eradicate, and there is no antidote to the disease. Only by practicing the Five Poisons Art can the poison deep into the heart be refined into the flying sword one by one, and the future troubles can be eradicated.
In this way, Shen Tuping became a disciple of Bu Yue and devoted himself to practicing the Five Poison Techniques. It took him a full year to drive away the remaining poisons in his body and refine a six-winged water snake sword. He was a blessing in disguise. The quality of the flying sword was so good that even Bu Yue was amazed. Within the Yuanrong Sect, the Six-winged Water Snake Sword was also ranked sixth in quality.
No one can tell clearly whether Bu Yue really had no antidote or whether he was interested in Shen Tuping and insisted on prying him away from the Xuantong Sect. However, Bu Yue was always kept in the dark. In addition to his master, Han Chisong was also secretly instructing Shen Tuping. Shen Tuping had the strengths of both sects and had special feelings for the Xuantong sect, and even more for Han Chisong. It's very respectful.
Just late the night before, Cao Yu from the Xuantong Sect found Shen Tuping and delivered the message from the leader: "Master, I hope you will defeat Wei Shiqi in tomorrow's sword showdown." You don't have to hold back your strength, it's better to wait for the opportunity to plant the poison of the six-winged water snake and cut off his escape."
