Chapter 1766 Broken Pulse
The two great masters, Master and Butcher, were playing chess as if no one else was around, and everything around them seemed to have no impact on them at all.
The butcher and the master both lost five pieces, and now the butcher picked up the sixth piece, much slower than the previous one.
Although the expressions of the two great masters were both calm, the butcher's dark face was slightly red at this moment, as if blood had filled his face, while the master was calm and calm, and no change could be seen at all.
On the altar, Li Chengqing struck out with seven swords in a row. The swords were so fierce that seven cracks were opened on the ground. When a sword energy struck Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao finally dodged, stretched out his left index finger, and struck out with a sword.
The sword energy burst out and hit Li Chengqing.
This hand is the True Sword of the Heart.
The sword energy was like frost. Li Chengqing noticed that the sword energy was coming, so he did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly dodged.
Qin Xiao didn't know the reality of sword energy at first and didn't dare to confront Li Chengqing head-on. However, after Li Chengqing's seven blows, Qin Xiao had roughly understood the way of this sword technique and knew that this sword technique was similar to the internal sword kung fu.
In the final analysis, both the inner sword and the opponent's sword energy are essentially internal forces.
Motivating the internal force to turn into the inner sword or sword energy is consuming one's own internal force.
Although after cultivating to the seventh level, the depth of internal power is beyond the comparison of ordinary martial arts practitioners, but if it continues to be consumed, it will eventually become exhausted.
If it's just a competition of moves and doesn't consume much internal energy, then that's fine.
But regardless of the inner sword or the sword energy, it is purely an internal force trick. It is the internal force that is used, and the loss is also huge.
Li Chengqing took the lead and used his sword repeatedly. This was because he wanted to make a quick decision and kill Qin Xiao as soon as possible.
In fact, Qin
Xiao now understood Li Chengqing's intention.
Although Li Chengqing is very powerful, he is still old after all.
He is not a grand master. A grand master can ignore the existence of age, but his seventh-level cultivation is still a mortal body, and he will still be affected by the body.
Although both of them are in the seventh level, one is over fifty years old, while Qin Xiao is an energetic young man, so there is a big gap in energy.
For Li Chengqing, such a duel cannot be delayed for long and must be resolved quickly.
So he didn't hesitate once he took action, and simply used his killing move decisively.
Naturally, he wanted to catch Qin Xiao off guard. As long as Qin Xiao panicked, Li Chengqing could take the initiative and even take advantage of the situation to succeed in one fell swoop.
But he underestimated Qin Xiao after all.
Qin Xiao was indeed surprised by Li Chengqing's skill, but he did not panic at all. In such a master showdown, Qin Xiao knew that victory or defeat could be decided in an instant, so he naturally maintained an extremely calm state of mind.
Fortunately, he has encountered too many life-and-death situations in the past few years. The situations he encountered many times before were much more serious than at this moment, so naturally he will not be flustered because of this matter.
Li Chengqing failed to fight quickly and even failed to hurt Qin Xiao in the slightest after a vigorous attack, but he already felt a little weak in his heart.
Qin Xiao's strength was clearly much stronger than he expected.
After Qin Xiao defended his position, he fired his inner sword. Li Chengqing knew that the opponent had the confidence to counterattack, and his face became even more ugly.
He knew that at his age, he couldn't spend time with Qin Xiao forever.
He took the lead in slashing seven swords and seemed to have the upper hand, but this attack had already consumed him.
Despite his lack of internal energy, Qin Xiao kept dodging and did not fight back, and his energy remained strong.
The sword energy of the inner sword was unparalleled. Li Chengqing naturally knew the power of the inner sword in the sword valley, and he did not dare to neglect it. Qin Xiao struck out three swords in a row, and the sound of the sword energy was faint, but Li Chengqing avoided them all.
Li Chengqing knew that there was no hope of a quick battle, so he did not dare to use the sword at will.
The sword energy is indeed extremely powerful, and the range of the attack is wider than that of the inner sword, but precisely because of this, the internal energy consumption of each sword strike is far greater than that of the inner sword.
Both sides knew that the other could hurt people from a distance, so naturally they did not dare to relax a little. However, in order to preserve their internal strength and not consume it too quickly, they stopped attacking easily. For a while, the two of them moved around on the altar,
From time to time, he uses feints, seemingly to unleash his inner strength, but his sword energy and sword energy are not unleashed. He just looks for the most suitable opportunity between the virtual and the real.
Compared to the two people on the altar, the two great masters were actually fighting it out without any false moves.
The color of the butcher's face became darker and darker, and it turned red. At first glance, it looked like his face was covered with rouge, with blood red in the darkness, which made him look quite scary.
The master's expression also changed slightly.
The Master knows how to maintain good health. Although he is old, his complexion has always been rosy. But at this time, the rosy color has gradually disappeared, and his face is actually a little pale.
"puff!"
There was a soft sound, and when the butcher took out the ninth chess piece from the chess box, the chess piece instantly shattered into powder without any warning, and then fell down from between the butcher's fingers.
The young master's wife's heart trembled. She glanced at the master and saw that although the master
Although his face turned pale, he still looked calm and calm. He didn't even look at the butcher, but still stared at the chessboard.
Others don't know what's going on, but the young aunt understands that at the moment when the chess piece was shattered, the master's strength had actually broken through part of the butcher's defense.
The confrontation between the two great masters involved defense during attack, attack during defense, and entangled energies. The complexity was far beyond what ordinary people could understand.
Every time the two of them move a chess piece and move their arms, they are breaking through the space created by the opponent's strength. When breaking the attack, they are also protecting themselves from being broken by the opponent.
Although this kind of duel is not as thrilling as a competition of unique moves, it is a more comprehensive test for the two of them.
The chess piece in the butcher's hand instantly turned into powder, which was equivalent to being injured by the master's move.
But the butcher obviously responded quickly and did not suffer a defeat due to a momentary mistake. His hand reached into the chess box again and twisted a chess piece again.
Although this seemed to be just a simple action, the young master knew in her heart that at this moment, the battle would definitely be thrilling. If the butcher failed to stabilize his position immediately, the master would definitely be able to take advantage of the situation and defeat the butcher in one fell swoop.
In a duel between great masters, the outcome can be decided in a matter of seconds.
The Butcher missed a move, and it can be said that he was in an extremely dangerous situation. Being able to stabilize his position in an instant only proves that this great master is indeed amazing.
Everything seems to be back to how it was before.
However, the young aunt knew clearly that although the butcher saved the situation, he was already passive.
Compared to the duel between the two great masters, almost everyone in the audience was attracted to the stage.
Previously, Li Chengqing acted fiercely, and the soldiers of the Xuzhou camp were all happy.
The sound was like thunder. At this moment, the two people were seen flickering on the stage. Li Chengqing did not take action like before. For a moment, he had no idea who of the two had the upper hand. Instead, the audience was silent.
A group of old heroes from Sixiangmenkong were always guarding the coffin.
The old hero Kong naturally knew the reputation of the two great masters. Seeing the duel between the two great masters today was a rare encounter. He was so excited that he couldn't take his eyes off it at first.
But after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see the reason at all. I sighed in my heart, thinking that this kind of opportunity is rare, but it is not famous, which is really a pity.
Fortunately, the two people on the stage were also top experts. Hero Kong didn't blink his eyes. He watched the two people flashing on the stage, but he could see that Qin Xiao's movement skills were obviously taking the initiative, surrounding him like a ghost.
Li Chengqing moved with Li Chengqing, and although Li Chengqing's movements were also brisk and fast, the pace of his movements was obviously to deal with Qin Xiao's vigilance, and he was already passive in his position.
Suddenly, he saw Li Chengqing slashing with his sword again. He had already slashed several times before, but all of them were feints and no sword energy was released. However, this time, he had obviously been preparing for a long time. The sword energy fell in the air, and only heard
There was a muffled groan, and then blood splashed in the air, and Qin Xiao's left shoulder was grazed by the knife.
The sword energy is much sharper than a real sharp edge.
This time, Li Chengqing once again prejudged Qin Xiao's movement, and the sword was fierce and fast. Although Qin Xiao tried his best to dodge, his shoulder was still scratched by the sword's energy. Although it only hurt a piece of flesh, his shoulder still felt hot.
The little sister in the audience could see the pain like this clearly, and her beauty was gone.
Colorful, he lost his voice and said: "Be careful!"
The movements of the two people on the stage were so fast that most people, including She Yue and Mei'er, couldn't see what was going on.
But the young master's aunt screamed in alarm, and She Yue's face changed color, she clenched her fist on her chest and asked urgently: "What's wrong? Is Qin Xiao okay?"
Little Senior Sister had no time to pay attention to She Yue at this time, she just stared at the stage.
Li Chengqing succeeded in the move and felt excited. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He did not hesitate at all. Naturally, he would not spare any effort at this time. He was about to chop down with another knife, but he saw that although Qin Xiao was injured on the shoulder
, but still tried his best to point at it, his heart was frightened, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly dodge.
He saw a burst of energy coming towards him, but it flashed to the left. His body was fast, and his sword energy was naturally not slow either. He could barely dodge the inner sword, but he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his abdomen, and his heart He was shocked, but he knew that it was clearly a burst of energy that hit him.
He clearly dodged Qin Xiao's inner sword, but he didn't expect that he would be hit by the sword again. In an instant, he understood that the sword energy Qin Xiao fired this time was not one. There was a bright sword in front, and another hidden sword behind. .
The energy entered his abdomen and immediately cut off the energy veins in his lower Dantian. The internal energy in Li Chengqing's hand instantly stagnated. He knew something was wrong, but Qin Xiao did not give him a chance to recover and drew his sword again and again.
"Puff puff puff" sounds were heard repeatedly, and Li Chengqing was hit by the inner sword again and again.
If the Red Heart True Sword hits the opponent's vitals, it can indeed kill him instantly.
But another powerful thing about the Red Heart True Sword is that even if it misses a vital point, as long as the energy enters the body, it can instantly cut off the opponent's meridians.
The pulse will block the opponent's internal Qi, and he will soon lose his combat effectiveness.
Su Baoping originally taught him how to transform three swords into one breath, but Qin Xiao's accomplishments in the True Sword of the Heart have actually surpassed that of his teacher, Shen Wuchou.
As for the swords in the Sword Valley that Li Chengqing knew about, he had never heard of them being able to transform three swords into one.
Because of this, Qin Xiao suddenly used the skill of transforming one Qi into three swords, catching Li Chengqing off guard.
In such a duel between masters, if the meridians are cut off by the opponent, it will be equivalent to a fatal result.
Qin Xiao was ruthless in his attacks. Although the power of each sword qi would be slightly weakened after one qi transformed into three swords, it was still more than enough to cut off the meridians in the human body.
Li Chengqing only felt stabbing pains in the many meridians in his body, as if someone was touching the meridians. The true energy in his Dantian could no longer circulate, as if he had a precious sword but couldn't lift it at all.
