After talking about the situation in the Shiwandashan Mountains, everyone started chatting and keeping in touch with each other.
After all, if we want to team up together, it is naturally necessary to understand each other.
Lin Duanshan, Duan Fenhai and Guan Shanyue are quite familiar with each other because they form a team and march south every year.
As for Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu, it can only be said that they are more familiar with Lin Duanshan, while they have more experience of "fighting each other" with Duan Fenhai and Guan Shanyue.
Now, we have to cooperate and collaborate, which is naturally a different matter and needs to be understood again.
As a middleman familiar to both sides, Lin Duanshan naturally took on the responsibility of leading the communication.
He first commented on the characteristics of the sword techniques of various peaks, and then talked about the Seven Killing Sword Techniques of Qingluo Peak.
"The most important thing about this Seven Killing Sword Technique is the word 'speed'." Lin Duanshan summarized, "The only sword technique in the world that cannot be defeated is speed."
"I do have some objections to this point." Guan Shanyue seemed to be thinking, "Rather than saying 'fast', it's better to say 'compete for the first place'."
Ling Yunpo was a little surprised. This Senior Sister Guan really had quite a good eye!
"That's right." Duan Fenhai also agreed with this opinion. "The Seven Killing Sword Technique is famous for its speed, but it does not simply pursue speed, but emphasizes striving to be the first."
"Junior Brother Duan, are you remembering the time when Junior Brother Ling beat you up during the Shushan Competition?" Guan Shanyue smiled with her hands covering her mouth. "You didn't even have time to use your sword skills."
Duan Fenhai's mouth curled up, and after a moment he said seriously:
"Humph, starting late but arriving first, using the weak to defeat the strong, these are the characteristics of the Seven Killings Sword Technique. I was defeated by Junior Brother Ling in the past. After returning, I thought about it carefully and concluded that my underestimation of the enemy was one of the reasons, but more importantly, it was because Junior Brother Ling's swordsmanship was so fast that he really brought out the advantages of the Seven Killings Sword Technique to the fullest extent."
His words were both to whitewash himself and to flatter Ling Yunpo, so there was no need for everyone to refute them.
“Speaking of competing for the first place, Senior Sister An’s swordsmanship has probably reached the pinnacle.” Lin Duanshan suddenly said, “Not only can she win the first place, but she can also quickly consolidate her advantage.”
"Indeed." Duan Fenhai also echoed, "In the past, there was a saying among the peaks: When fighting against Senior Sister An, you must never give in. Otherwise, if you give in, you will no longer have room to compete for the lead."
“Although I don’t want to admit it, Senior Sister An’s swordsmanship is indeed better than mine.” Guan Shanyue said with a fake smile, “With Senior Sister An in the team this time, there will be no more variables in the southern expedition.”
Everyone flattered An Zhisu, but she didn't respond at all, which made everyone feel awkward.
To be exact, she had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know how to respond, so she simply kept silent.
The atmosphere was silent for a while. Ling Yunpo was about to say something to smooth things over when he suddenly heard Guan Shanyue ask:
"I heard that Senior Sister An plans to inherit the Taoist tradition of the Seven Killers and practice the Questioning Love Stream, right? Then who will be the Taoist partner for Questioning Love, Junior Brother Ling?"
This question was so direct that Lin Duanshan and Duan Fenhai glared at her, signaling her not to say something that would embarrass others. However, their ears pricked up involuntarily, waiting to hear how An Zhisu would answer.
An Zhisu remained expressionless and silent.
Then my neck started to turn red, slowly spreading to my cheeks...
"Ahem!" Ling Yunpo suddenly stood up, interrupting everyone's sight, and said, "Senior Brother Duan, I want to fight with you!"
Duan Fenhai:?
"Okay!" He immediately stood up and sneered, "Obedience is worse than respect!"
Duan Fenhai was eliminated from the Shushan competition by Ling Yunpo unexpectedly. This was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, always making him feel uncomfortable.
But if he went to challenge him again, it would seem too deliberate, so Duan Fenhai put his revenge plan on hold for the time being... Unexpectedly, Ling Yunpo would come to him on his own initiative today!
The two hit it off immediately and left the Taoist temple to compete.
Lin Duanshan and Guan Shanyue also hurriedly followed and turned to look at An Zhisu's face, only to find that her face had already returned to normal and she looked completely calm. She was completely different from the evil ghost who was always looking for someone to threaten during the previous Shushan competition.
Is he sure that Ling Yunpo will not lose? Guan Shanyue seemed to be thinking about something, while Lin Duanshan's face changed slightly.
The fencing match started quickly. Duan Fenhai quickly made a sword move and the Cangtie sword shot out like lightning, heading straight for Ling Yunpo's chest.
Attack!
This time, he had obviously learned the lesson from the last Shushan Competition. He did not intend to give Ling Yunpo any chance to fight back and attacked directly.
Ling Yunpo's expression remained unchanged, and he held the Lei Li Sword in front of him to resist the attack of the Cang Tie Sword.
At the moment of the collision of metal and iron, Duan Fenhai realized something was wrong. The force coming from the opponent's sword was actually stronger than his own? !
The power of a flying sword depends on only two factors: the properties of the flying sword itself, and the strength of the sword master's true energy.
The Thunder Sword and the Cang Tie Sword are both gold-based flying swords known for their swiftness and sharpness, and they do not provide much added strength.
In other words, the opponent's true energy at this moment seems to be far stronger than his own...
Such a thought flashed through Duan Fenhai's mind, and he saw a flash of black light before his eyes, and the Qingping Sword was already cutting towards his head.
He hurriedly pulled out the Tianfeng Qianjun Sword, trying to block the attack of the Qingping Sword. There was another sound of metal clashing, and the Qianjun Sword could not withstand the force of the impact, and was violently knocked away by the Qingping Sword.
Before he could come to his senses, the Qingping Sword was already placed at his neck.
Duan Fenhai: ...
He frowned, stretched out his fingers and gently pushed the Qingping Sword away, wondering:
"What kind of spell is this?"
"Swordsmanship." Ling Yunpo waved his hand casually, and the Qingping Sword automatically flew back into his palm.
"Can the Seven Killing Sword Technique amplify the power of a flying sword?" Duan Fenhai looked at Lin Duanshan who was watching.
Being able to directly knock his Tianfeng Qianjun Sword away is not something that can be achieved by just "strong true essence"... Being at the same Huafu level, and not yet forming a pill, how strong can they be no matter how strong they are?
Lin Duanshan also had a serious expression on his face. He shook his head and said:
"I've never seen it before. It looks a bit like the power-generating method of the Shura Dao Jiesha Sword, but it's definitely not it."
The Killing Sword uses three levels of power, each level is stronger than the last, but the prerequisite is that it must be superimposed after the previous levels.
This is the first time that everyone has seen Ling Yunpo deliver a critical hit right from the start, making it impossible for cultivators of the same level to block it.
Everyone turned their eyes to An Zhisu, and saw that Senior Sister An was silent for a moment and said:
"Junior brother has already learned the true teachings of the Seven Killing Sword Technique..."
Then everyone suddenly realized: Oh oh oh oh, we understand, this is the true swordsmanship.
I don't believe you! Lingyunpo was only accepted by Su Jian after he went into seclusion. What true swordsmanship could Su Jian teach him? And why can't the senior sister know it?
Facing the questioning eyes of the crowd, An Zhisu remained silent for a while again, and forced an explanation:
"Actually, I can do it, but I've never used it."
Everyone nodded when they heard this: This story is getting more and more outrageous.
The Seven Killing Sword Technique is famous for its speed. If you add the advantage of force and heaviness, it will be unbeatable in the same level. You, An Zhisu, have been in Shushan for so many years, and you said you have never used it?
"That's true." Ling Yunpo said seriously.
Since the head of Yujing forbade the two to reveal Bai Yujing's information at this time, Ling Yunpo naturally could not speak openly. This was his secret gain after passing the Fujue Mountain Trial. He could only laugh and say:
"Sister has actually already mastered the true essence of the Seven Killing Sword Technique, but because we usually spar with fellow disciples, it is difficult to use heavy hands, so we have never used it."
Everyone: ...
So it’s because we’re too inexperienced, right?
