Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Qingshan's longsword had already touched the incoming energy.
The longsword did not shatter as I had imagined.
Although internal energy can indeed destroy metal, it seems to have temporarily lost this property in the face of Li Qingshan's longsword.
His longsword was like dust, blurring the view, and he thrust out countless swords in an instant, each one striking the area around the energy field.
Like a giant snake being skinned, the burst of energy could no longer be sustained, and with a "poof," it dissipated, turning into scattered air currents in the air.
Many people were stunned.
Only those with keen eyesight could barely discern the intricacies of Li Qingshan's sword strike.
"This young man's swordsmanship is so exquisite. Given time, he may become a master swordsman."
A woman in green nodded solemnly.
"As expected of the Mountain Sword Sect, they are truly remarkable."
Hua Hongdao's eyelids twitched, and he sighed inwardly.
He could naturally see that this energy, though seemingly powerful and robust, was ultimately not solid enough, which was why his opponent broke it with swordsmanship.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Whether one's internal energy is solid or not is related to one's martial arts cultivation. The person who just released the internal energy had only reached this level of strength, which was considered to be their best effort.
Fortunately, the First Escort Agency has more than just one escort with a seventh-rank cultivation level.
This time, there were three seventh-rank officials.
Sure enough, just as Li Qingshan defeated one burst of energy, another burst of energy flew in from the side.
This time, they skipped over the group of teenagers who had formed a staff formation and launched a direct attack on Li Qingshan.
That's not all.
Almost at the same moment, two more bursts of energy flew over.
After Li Qingshan defeated one burst of energy, he was immediately met with a combined attack from three bursts of energy.
With such a force, let alone an eighth-rank martial artist, even a seventh-rank martial artist of the same level would likely be in trouble.
Li Qingshan was not afraid at all; in fact, he became excited.
He wielded his longsword to its fullest extent, and within a radius of several feet around him, it was as if a sandstorm had suddenly arisen.
It seemed that anything that entered it would be crushed into dust by the sandstorm.
But Qi Jin is, after all, a power that surpasses the eighth rank.
After his focus was diverted, Li Qingshan couldn't even completely defeat a single burst of energy; he could only weaken it by a few percent.
The three who released their energy were all delighted.
Even if the energy is weakened by several percent, it is still enough to cut an eighth-rank martial artist into several pieces.
In more severe cases, it could even be blown to pieces.
The hearts of all the young men from the escort agency clenched involuntarily.
Li Qingshan got into this situation because he was protecting them.
If something happens to Li Qingshan, those who follow him will inevitably meet a bad end as well.
Hua Hongdao couldn't help but steal a glance at Lin Ce.
Even in his eyes, Li Qingshan was a rare talent.
Not to mention small escort agencies like Sihai Escort Agency, which have only just started operating again.
It's simply not worth sacrificing such talent for a single competition.
Unfortunately, he couldn't detect anything unusual on Lin Ce's face.
The other party clearly had no intention of stopping the fight.
The other party seemed very confident, but where did this confidence come from?
With this question in mind, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the field again.
At this moment, the three streams of energy had broken through the sword net woven by Li Qingshan and descended upon him.
At this point, it's too late to do anything.
At this moment, Hua Hongdao couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.
But soon, regret was replaced by shock.
He watched in astonishment as the three bursts of energy struck the opponent, then shattered and scattered.
Despite being ripped by the three bursts of energy, the opponent was not seriously injured, with only a few minor bloodstains on his body.
That was caused by being cut by the scattered energy.
To his even greater astonishment, right before his eyes, the bloodstains vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had never existed.
"This...could it be some kind of protective martial art?"
Having been in the business for decades, his knowledge and experience are considerable.
Lin Ce smiled calmly.
He knew all along that this would be the outcome.
No one present should know the power of "Qingyanyi" better than him.
Based on his estimation of Li Qingshan's "Qingyan Robe" level, these three bursts of energy could at most slightly injure him, but wouldn't cause any major problems.
He guessed the beginning, but not the ending.
Just a moment ago, the system notified him that the proficiency of the "Qingyanyi" martial art in his martial arts panel had increased significantly.
Clearly, in that very instant, Li Qingshan's "Qingyan Robe" had made a significant breakthrough, thus providing him, the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort), with corresponding experience points.
However, Lin Ce's mastery of the "Azure Rock Robe" far surpasses that of his opponent, so he will not break through to a higher level at the same time.
"Trying to frame me?"
Li Qingshan grinned coldly and suddenly threw his long sword into the air.
"Flying Rock Sword Style!"
Perhaps they thought this move was so cool that it would be a shame not to call it out.
Li Qingshan's long sword flew through the air like a huge boulder, swiftly crashing into the person who had unleashed the energy.
The longsword came with tremendous force, and the man was taken aback, quickly dodging it.
But before that, a clear and wonderful sound suddenly rang in his ears.
The sound was like seashells striking each other, incredibly beautiful and captivating.
"No, a longsword is flying towards us..."
The man suddenly awoke, remembering his predicament.
But it was too late.
A long sword struck him, breaking his sternum, and he screamed as he flew backward.
Li Qingshan's sword strike was quite unique; he didn't use the sharpness of a longsword, but rather its weight.
"Again!"
Li Qingshan had already followed up using the "Flying Sand Step" and reached out to retrieve his longsword.
Then, another longsword flew out, striking another person in the same "Flying Rock Sword Style".
The other person had clearly seen what had happened to the first man. Now, staring at the flying sword, he suddenly unleashed a burst of energy, intending to cut it down halfway.
But in the end, the energy was in vain, and the longsword still struck the man, knocking him down.
Hua Hongdao, standing off the field, frowned and glanced at Li Qingshan.
Could there be another trick to this sword strike? Otherwise, why did the energy just brush past the flying sword without stopping it at all?
He couldn't believe that a dignified seventh-rank martial artist could have such poor accuracy in striking with his qi.
Lin Ce, who was watching from the side, chuckled to himself.
There are definitely ways to do it.
However, the one with the real skill was not Li Qingshan, but Yu Jiu, who was protected by many teenagers in the center of the staff formation.
Just now, the other party must have heard a strange sound.
Although Yu Jiu's "Sea Mirage Sound" is no longer as good as his own, it is still enough to deal with a seventh-rank martial artist if it only creates a momentary illusion.
The combination of Li Qingshan and Yu Jiu was a sure-fire kill for these seventh-rank martial artists.
Using the same trick again, the third seventh-rank martial artist fell down.
There are no other seventh-rank martial artists left at the First Escort Agency.
"kill--"
Amidst the deafening roar, Shang Shaofeng led a group of teenagers, wielding sticks, and charged towards the hundred-man formation opposite them.
