Chapter 357: No Loss

Noon, Wanjian Mountain.

This mountain is more than two thousand feet high, and its peak is steep and tall like a long sword piercing the sky, quite imposing.

But compared with Tongtian Peak, which is dozens of miles away, it seems too short and thin.

The cliffs of Wanjian Mountain are filled with swords, some with half-exposed blades, and some with only the hilts sticking out.

From afar, you can see thousands of cold lights on the mountain walls and sword energy rising into the sky.

This also gives Wanjian Mountain a cold and fierce aura. Although it is far less majestic than Tongtian Peak, it has a unique sharp and fierce momentum.

At the top of Wanjian Mountain, there is a huge artificial platform, which is hundreds of feet in radius.

Countless golden runes were engraved on the hard blue-black stone ground, forming a very complex magic circle.

At this moment, the platform was already filled with cultivators from the Tongtian Sword Sect, numbering tens of thousands of them.

Tongtian Sword Sect practitioners wore black clothes for Qi training and blue clothes for foundation building. When one reached the Jindan level, there were no restrictions on clothing color.

Gao Xian looked down from the sky and saw blue and black cultivators forming several circles around the platform below. Among them were more than a dozen Jindan Zhenren in different colored clothing, all standing in the south.

The leader was none other than Xiao Hongye. She was wearing a dark red robe, had a slender and graceful figure, and stood with a sword. She stood out in the crowd.

Tens of thousands of Sword Sect practitioners were whispering to each other in the surrounding area, and the noisy sounds could be heard above the sky.

“It’s so lively.”

Yun Qiu Shui didn't expect so many people to come to watch the game, he was a little surprised.

Is Xiao Hongye so confident?

He was a little confused. Losing to Gao Xian in front of so many fellow disciples at home was more embarrassing than Gui Wuqi's loss.

Yun Qiushui looked at Gao Xian, "Brother Gao, this woman is so confident. You have to be careful."

He did not use his spiritual sense to transmit the message, but Zhong Ziqi in front of him heard it clearly.

Zhong Ziqi didn't take it seriously. It was impossible for Xiao Hongye to defeat Gao Xian.

At most, Gao Xian would not kill Xiao Hongye for the sake of the sect's reputation.

As a cultivator of the Sword Sect, Zhong Ziqi certainly hopes that someone in the sect can surpass Gao Xian.

However, this person must not be Xiao Hongye.

Both of them are Nascent Soul seeds, and the sect’s resources are limited, so the support they receive from them naturally has to be prioritized.

If Xiao Hongye wins this time, the ancestor will naturally favor Xiao Hongye.

Even if you are biased by only one point, you will lose one point. Sometimes the struggle of the great way is just between these millimeters.

Since Zhong Ziqi chose Gui Wuqi, he could not tolerate Xiao Hongye taking the position.

The sect's external enemies are too far away, and the internal enemies are right next to us. There is no such thing as unity. Only when Gui Wuqi wins can we consider these things.

Zhong Ziqi naturally would not tell these thoughts to others, let alone Gao Xian and others.

Having lived for hundreds of years, he has become very cunning. He just pretended not to hear what Yun Qiushui said.

Zhong Ziqi led Gao Xian, Yun Qiu Shui and Lu Jingxu to the sword-discussing stage. He greeted Xiao Hongye with a smile and briefly introduced the identities of Gao Xian, Yun Qiu Shui and Lu Jingxu.

There were more than a dozen Jindan Zhenren present, most of whom were from Xiao Hongye's faction. Zhong Ziqi did not introduce them, as there was no need for that.

A group of Jindan Zhenren from the Sword Sect looked at Gao Xian curiously.

Gui Wuqi dared to call himself the Divine Sword, so he was naturally invincible in sweeping across the Sword Sect. No matter how much the many Jindans hated Gui Wuqi, they had to admit that his swordsmanship was superb.

Gui Wuqi was defeated by Gao Xian's sword, and the news shocked everyone in the Tongtian Sword Sect.

Because Gui Wuqi had such a bad character, many people laughed at him. However, all the Jindan masters knew how powerful Gui Wuqi was. What kind of swordsmanship and style would an expert who could defeat Gui Wuqi have?

Seeing Gao Xian in person today, everyone naturally wanted to take a good look at him.

Facing the scrutiny of the crowd, Gao Xian was unusually calm. Since he established his foundation, the social phobia left over from his previous life had been basically overcome.

There is no other reason, it’s just that the psychological advantage is too great.

When a person faces a crowd, he or she will naturally feel weak psychologically. However, when a person faces hundreds of three-year-old children, he or she will not be afraid, but will just feel irritated.

Because the gap between the two sides is too big, both in strength and wisdom.

Gao Xian doesn’t think he is much smarter than others, but he is strong!

A group of golden elixirs gathered together, posing no threat to him. Under the illumination of the first-grade golden elixir, he could almost see the details of each golden elixir.

Although many Jindan didn't say anything, they all admired Gao Xian's demeanor and bearing in their hearts.

Extraordinary bearing, handsome and elegant. These three words seemed to be prepared for Gao Xian, and they fit him very well.

He is worthy of being the master who can defeat Gui Wuqi. His demeanor and bearing are far superior to the gloomy Gui Wuqi.

Xiao Hongye looked at Gao Xian deeply. This man was so radiant that the handsome Yun Qiu Shui looked like a passerby next to him.

Xiao Hongye also knew that this was mostly due to reputation.

This reputation will be shared with her from today onwards. She couldn't help but feel excited when she thought about it.

She paid a high price for this, but it was worth it. Apart from anything else, the Grand Master would look up to her and most likely give her the benefit.

The master was so skilled that he could tell that she was playing some tricks. But her fame was real.

The Tongtian Sword Sect's number one sword master was actually defeated by an ordinary Jindan Zhenren with a sword. This is a great shame! No matter what means are used, it is good to be able to wash away this shame.

The most important thing for a sword cultivator is the sword, but they cannot just use the sword! This is also the teaching of the ancestors.

Xiao Hongye bowed to Gao Xian and said, "Master Gao, please come in."

"please."

Gao Xian bowed in return, and the two flew to the center of the platform together.

The two Jindans cast spells and operated the magic circle. Runes formed a light curtain and rose up, isolating the platform from the outside.

In a battle at the Jindan level, a stray sword energy could kill or injure a large number of Qigong practitioners.

The magic circle on the sword-fighting arena can not only protect the spectators, but also protect the opponents to a certain extent.

Gao Xian drew his sword and saluted, and Xiao Hongye on the opposite side also drew out the Hongye Sword. This sword was originally a third-grade medium-quality spiritual sword. Xiao Hongye asked a master to reforge it and re-refine the restrictions, raising its grade to the third-grade top-quality.

The blade of the Red Leaf Sword is three feet long and as clear as autumn water. There is a bright red line on the spine of the sword, which makes the blade suddenly look more murderous.

Holding this tailor-made magic sword in her hand, the gentleness in Xiao Hongye's brows turned into a coldness.

The Red Leaf Sword trembled slightly, making a subtle but clear sword sound, like the wind blowing through the mountains, like water hitting rocks, like a wild goose calling in the sky.

Xiao Hongye, who is proficient in music, can make the sword sound rhythmically, which is quite magical.

Gao Xian drew his sword without moving. Having agreed to lose to Xiao Hongye, he still activated the Tai Chi Xuanguan Invisible Heavenly Clothes and Yin Yang Heavenly Wheel.

Losing is losing, but you can't lose badly. Moreover, you have to be on guard against the little bitch playing tricks and attacking him when he is relaxed.

The four-foot-long green sword in Gao Xian's hand was emitting a bright green light. The next moment, the green light had transformed into a chain of lightning and thunder that fell down with a loud bang.

Thunder roars and lightning flashes, and the power of thunder is used to stab continuously. It is a very powerful and swift move in the Fengyun Sword Sutra.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Precisely because of the loud noise, Gao Xian rarely used this move against his enemies. He preferred to kill with one strike, so such a loud and loud move was a bit flashy.

It is very useful for sparring and competing in skills. Even if the people watching the battle are a group of sword practitioners, they cannot tell that the sword is fake.

Xiao Hongye turned the Hongye sword in his hand, facing the sword light like lightning and thunder.

Her Qingye Sword Sutra describes a sword that is like a green leaf, full of vitality, agile and mysterious. Its sword meaning also contains the changes of life and death, withering and flourishing.

In terms of the realm of swordsmanship, it is not as grand as the "Tongtian Sword Classic", but its sword intent of life and death and prosperity is more subtle and wonderful.

The Red Leaf Sword flutters back and forth, the sword moves are agile and unpredictable, and it is full of endless vitality.

Although the fighting with Gao Xian was weak, it was like the green grass growing on the steep cliffs, extremely tenacious and strong.

Many of the Tongtian Sword Sect's sword cultivators who were watching the battle all stared with their eyes wide open. Although those at the Qi training and foundation building levels could not see the details, they could still sense the wonder of Xiao Hongye's continuous sword intent.

All the Jindan Zhenren looked solemn. Gao Xian's sword power was too strong, completely suppressing Xiao Hongye. He was indeed a master who could defeat Wuqi Divine Sword.

Gao Xian also praised the changes in Hongye Sword. Indeed, Xiao Hongye was no worse than Gui Wuqi in terms of swordsmanship.

The difference between the two is that Gui Wuqi is more resolute, and has the strong sword intent of a sword cultivator who moves forward without regrets.

Xiao Hongye's swordsmanship is more sophisticated, but the sword intent is a bit soft, lacking the sharpness of a sword cultivator.

In the short term, it would be difficult for Xiao Hongye to catch up with Gui Wuqi. However, Xiao Hongye was more intelligent, and if she could improve to a higher level, she would still have a chance to surpass Gui Wuqi.

If Xiao Hongye can reach the state of unity of body and sword, then his limit will definitely be higher than Gui Wuqi's.

As for the difference in the level of their swords, it is not very important.

Gao Xian performed the whole act, displaying all six sword moves: wind, cloud, rain, snow, thunder and lightning.

His sword skills were so high that even if he only used 50% of his strength, outsiders would not be able to tell.

Xiao Hongye also displayed the various magical changes of the Qingye Sword Sutra. Under Gao Xian's pressure, her condition was obviously much better than usual.

Some sword meanings that she had not understood before, she now naturally understood the essence of them. She also became stronger with each battle. This also made her very happy, and she looked at Gao Xian with a little more favor.

The Jindan Zhenren of Tongtian Sword Sect were all stunned. The Qingyun Sword Scripture was originally derived from the Tongtian Sword Scripture. Gao Xian's sword skills of wind, cloud, rain and snow were similar to their swordsmanship.

The more this happened, the more shocked many Jindan were. Gao Xian only practiced swordsmanship, but they were condensed sword pills.

It turned out that Gao Xian's sword intent was more refined and more powerful than theirs. This was difficult for the Jindan to accept.

At this time, Gui Wuqi was watching the battle through the water mirror at the top of Tongtian Peak.

Seeing the two fighting so fiercely, Gui Wuqi's eyes were cold and sinister.

Others have never fought with Gao Xian. Even Zhong Ziqi, Han Chengzhen and others could only see the general idea and naturally could not see the problem.

Gui Wuqi had his head chopped off by Gao Xian's sword. He knew Gao Xian's swordsmanship too well.

This kind of massive and powerful sword-fighting battle is not Gao Xian's style. This man's swordsmanship is mysterious and unpredictable, which is what makes him most terrifying.

It was obvious that Xiao Hongye had bribed Gao Xian somehow, and the two of them were working together to put on a show!

Gui Wuqi was very angry. This despicable method was simply an insult to sword practitioners.

The master's vision is so sharp, how can this little trick fool the master?! Gui Wuqi was thinking angrily when he saw the Red Leaf Sword in Xiao Hongye's hand suddenly turn into a hundred, and then into ten thousand. In an instant, lines of red light spread in all directions.

Then the sword lights in the sky converged into one and instantly penetrated the dense green sword light like clouds.

Gao Xian and Xiao Hongye put away their swords at the same time.

Gao Xian cupped his hands and said, "Master Xiao's swordsmanship is superb. I admire you."

Everyone now saw a sword mark on Gao Xian's sleeve, obviously he had just been stabbed by a sword.

In a duel of life and death, this sword strike would not matter. But in a duel of life and death, this sword strike had already determined the winner.

Xiao Hongye sheathed her sword and said softly, "It was a stroke of luck. Daoist friend, your swordsmanship is superb, and I have benefited a lot from it."

She was quite satisfied with the result. Even though it was only a small victory, it was still a victory.

From now on, everyone in the Sword Sect will know that she has defeated Gao Xian, which is equivalent to defeating Gui Wuqi.

Sure enough, the surrounding Sword Sect practitioners only realized now that Xiao Hongye had really won.

Tens of thousands of practitioners cheered and cheered at the same time, and their voices echoed through the sky.

Lu Jingxu was incredulous, while Yun Qiushui had a strange look on his face. He thought, "Brother Gao must have slept with her, so he gave up his sword in public. Xiao Hongye is also a top-notch beauty, so she is not wrong..."

Gui Wuqi looked at Gao Xian and Xiao Hongye, who were smiling in the water mirror, and gritted his teeth: "You two bastards! You deserve to die... I will settle this account with you after you enter Tianxiang Sword Palace!"
