Chapter 49: Sword Testing

Faced with the cultivator kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Zhu Qiniang looked indifferent. She glanced at Gao Xian and said, "You do it."

Gao Xian hurriedly said: "You come, you come."

The cultivator looked dark and thin, and his short brown clothes were all tattered. He really couldn't bring himself to attack him.

Zhu Qiniang now understood that Gao Xian was a passive person who would only kill someone if there was a good reason.

She said: "Don't be soft-hearted just because he looks so humble.

"The Red Snake Gang is notorious. They love to hunt other cultivators in the mountains. Every one of them deserves to die."

"Killing them is completely in the service of justice and is to eliminate harm for the people."

Gao Xian knew that Qiniang would not lie to him, but he couldn't get over the fact that she was attacking a man who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

"You..."

Zhu Qiniang was a little helpless. She said to the cultivator who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, "You don't have to act pitiful."

She pointed at Gao Xian and said, "If you can hold out for ten moves from him, I will let you go."

The thin and dark cultivator who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy looked up at Gao Xian, a young pretty boy with bright but gentle eyes, clean clothes and hands without a speck of dust on them.

Judging from his appearance, he is just in the initial stage of Qi training.

This man's entire body is marked with two words: harmless.

The dark and thin cultivator turned to look at Zhu Qiniang: "Really?"

Zhu Qinnan defeated them the moment they met. She was obviously a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. She was not only skilled in magic but also swordsmanship and had rich combat experience.

What’s even more terrifying is that this woman is so cruel and ruthless that she will never hesitate before taking action.

He didn't stand a chance in front of this woman.

If he were to fight this pretty boy, he would be sure to kill him within ten moves.

Zhu Qiniang smiled and said to Gao Xian, "See? You think he is a life, but he doesn't take you seriously."

Gao Xian didn't care much about it. He never liked being in the spotlight and it would be better if others couldn't see him.

Zhu Qiniang said calmly to the dark and thin cultivator: "I keep my word."

The thin and dark cultivator no longer pretended to be pitiful. He stood up, carefully stepped back a few steps, drew out his sword, and at the same time took out a Yi Mu shield talisman and activated it.

In front of the thin and dark cultivator's left hand, a green light suddenly condensed into a half-human high-light shield.

The circular light shield was shining with tiny runes, which were azure and transparent. It floated in front of the cultivator and looked very agile.

"See, he is quite rich to be able to afford the Yimu shield."

Zhu Qiniang reminded Gao Xian: "Warfare is dangerous. If you make a mistake, you may die. Even if I watch from the sidelines, I may not be able to save you in time.

"You must use all your strength to defeat your opponent. Any hesitation or weakness will be irresponsible for your own life."

Gao Xian looked solemn and remained silent.

Indeed, the bodies of the four cultivators were all around, with blood and flesh all over the ground.

He thought it was an exchange of ideas, but the other party didn't think so.

To be on the safe side, Gao Xian also activated the Yimu Shield. He did not use a magic talisman, but the Yimu Shield that came with the Qingmu Armor.

The Qingmu Jia is a top-grade magic weapon of the first rank, which can actually activate four Yimu shields at a time.

Gao Xian felt that there was no need to be so exaggerated when dealing with a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, so he only summoned a Yi wood shield.

With the same Yimu shield, Gao Xian's light shield is obviously more solid and has better texture than the other one.

The opponent was a piece of green light, but his light shield was like a piece of green glass.

When the thin and dark cultivator saw Gao Xian's Yi Mu Shield, he was surprised and jealous. This pretty boy, with his poor cultivation, had such a high-level magic weapon.

However, it is useless to have magic weapons, as this kid is far behind in combat!

The thin and dark cultivator drew his sword and rushed forward. He attacked with an extremely ferocious posture and stabbed Gao Xian in the chest with his sword.

In Gao Xian's eyes, the opponent's movements were too slow. He thought for a moment and decided to block the attack with his Yimu shield instead of his sword.

The round wooden shield was very large, and it covered most of the body.

It is also easy to control the Yi Wood Shield. You can control it with your hands or with your spiritual consciousness.

Using spiritual consciousness to control is more flexible, but the spiritual consciousness of Qigong practitioners is limited and difficult to sustain for a long time.

Gao Xian had also tried it several times in private. With Sister Lan's help, it was no difficulty for him to control the Yi Wood Shield with his spiritual sense.

The thin and dark cultivator watched as the wooden shield protected Gao Xian. He put away his sword and used the wooden shield in his left hand to ram into him.

The two light shields collided with each other. Gao Xian's Yi wooden shield remained motionless, but the Yi wooden shield of the thin and dark cultivator rippled like water waves, and he was obviously at a disadvantage.

The thin and dark cultivator had anticipated this. Naturally, the Yi wood shield activated by his magic talisman could not compare to the opponent's magic weapon.

Taking advantage of the collision of the two light shields, he crouched down and swung his sword to sweep Gao Xian's legs.

This move was both sinister and vicious, and it was beyond Gao Xian's expectations.

However, the problem still exists. Although the opponent's Qi training level is higher than his, his speed is far inferior.

The extremely vicious sweeping sword kept slowing down in Gao Xian's eyes, and the opponent's kneeling and sweeping looked a little funny.

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

Gao Xian used his spiritual sense to control the Yi wood shield to sink, and he also took a step back.

The main purpose is to prevent the Yi Mu Shield from being broken and to maintain a safe distance.

The Yi wood shield was tough, hard and slippery. The thin and dark cultivator swept his sword across it with all his strength. The recoil force almost made him throw the sword away.

The dark and thin cultivator then felt something was wrong. This pretty boy was so skilled in using his spiritual sense to control the Yi Mu Shield. This was a bit tricky.

He didn't believe Zhu Qiniang, and just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack Zhu Qiniang. As long as he succeeded, he would not only survive, but also make a fortune! The dark and thin cultivator missed a move and quickly got up to attack again. This time he fully displayed his sword skills and attacked Gao Xian crazily.

His movements were extremely fast, and his sword strikes were tricky and vicious, but Gao Xianyi's wooden shield was too big, and it could block all his changes with just a twist.

The dark and thin cultivator surrounded Gao Xian and attacked him fiercely for dozens of moves. Gao Xian was fine, but he was already breathing rapidly.

This full-strength sword movement consumed a lot of his physical strength, but he still failed to break Gao Xian's Yimu Shield, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

A fierce light flashed in the dark and thin cultivator's eyes. If he delayed any further, he would be exhausted to death by this kid even without Zhu Qinnan taking any action.

When he raised his shield to attack again, he raised his left hand slightly, and was about to fire the sharp gold armor-piercing arrow tied to his wrist at Zhu Qiniang.

There is only one sleeve arrow, no more than seven inches long, but the triangular arrow tip is made of cold iron and has sharp gold armor-piercing runes on it. It is specially designed to break all kinds of armor and shields and is extremely fierce.

In order to increase the lethality, he also smeared the five-step snake venom on the arrow. As long as the skin was scratched a little, it would kill the opponent with a single blow.

As soon as the thin and dark cultivator raised his hand, Gao Xian saw that something was wrong, and he swept his sword over without hesitation.

As the cold light passed, the thin and dark cultivator's wooden shield silently shattered into pieces of light, and his wrist was also cut off. The sleeve arrow that had not yet been shot out was also broken into two pieces under the sword edge.

"What a fast sword!"

The thin and dark cultivator was shocked. He didn't even see how Gao Xian drew his sword. He could only see the cold sword light flashing.

How could this Qi training early stage cultivator be so powerful? Before he could figure it out, the Stone-chopping Sword that was slashing down was extremely light and turned upwards. The sword tip swept across the neck of the thin and dark cultivator, sweeping his head high into the air.

This move, "The Breeze Blowing the Willows", is a move from the Qingfeng Sword Technique. This move is like the breeze blowing, light and soft, without any effort.

When Gao Xian practiced sword skills before, he felt that this move was just a joke and could not be used in actual combat at all.

It was not until his Electric Light Dragon Hand reached the master level that he realized the essence of this move, which is the quick and concealed force generated by the wrist and elbow.

Only in this way can you keep your body still and your shoulders unshaken, presenting a calm and unrestrained posture, and only then can you swing the sword with that sweeping feeling.

With a flick of the sword, the thin and dark cultivator's head was swept away.

Gao Xian didn't think much when he killed the person, he just felt that the person was vicious and hateful.

Seeing the tragic scene, he felt a little uncomfortable, but out of habit he had to explain: "Uh, I didn't mean to do that..."

The flying head fell to the ground and rolled far away, as if it didn't want to forgive Gao Xian.

Zhu Qiniang patted Gao Xian's shoulder calmly and said, "It's okay, you'll be fine once you get used to it."

She then praised sincerely: "What a sharp sword! Look at this guy's neck, it's broken so smoothly, wow..."
