Thunder struck through the sea of clouds pressing overhead, and countless twisted electric snakes spread toward the sky.
Raindrops as big as soybeans hit the giant black monument. The two silhouettes on the left and right, as small as grains of rice compared with the Qianzhang platform, became the focus of the entire world at this moment.
Tens of thousands of martial arts warriors were all staring at the two peak swordsmen in front of the stone monument. When they heard the words "My sword is faster than Kuang Yazi", no one laughed at it.
After all, that's what martial arts is. It's about stepping on the shoulders of the predecessors and using "the best" from generation to generation to elevate the concept of martial arts to the extreme. There is no fastest, only faster, no highest, only higher. There has never been one.
What is the most powerful move that will never change.
But everyone in the world knows this, but it’s not that easy to do.
Martial arts moves are chess records. Although it is said that "no game is the same through the ages," it has been passed down for thousands of years. The geniuses of all generations have figured out the strongest way to the point where "one more chess piece will be a burden, and one less chess piece will reduce the firepower."
Not only can future generations create a peerless martial arts out of thin air, but even if they just introduce new ones, slightly optimize the methods of their predecessors, and improve them even one cent, it will still be difficult to reach the sky.
The eyes of everyone present were focused on Ye Jingtang, who appeared in the world for the first time. They felt that if Ye Jingtang didn't innovate and surpass Kuangyazi, they wouldn't dare to say arrogant words on such an occasion.
But Ye Jingtang's age seems a bit too young.
Although 90% of the contemporary Eight Immortals, Two Saints and Eight Great Leaders reached the top before the age of thirty, so it is not unusual for them to be young.
But Nightmare Hall seems to be around twenty-four or five-year-old at most, and a man's physique is not fully formed until he is twenty-four or five years old. It can be said that he has not yet reached his peak at this age.
If he could surpass Kuangyazi now, his talent would already be at the level of a banished immortal, and he might be able to shake Fengguan City in the future.
Xuanyuan Chao stood quietly in the rain. Facing Ye Jingtang's arrogance, he just replied calmly:
"Speak with the knife."
Wow~~
It rained heavily, and the lake suddenly became silent.
After Ye Jingtang glanced at Xuanyuan Chao, he turned around and walked past the stone monument to the inner organs of Junshan Terrace.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan pulled out the Junshan Sword, took off the leather shoulder strap from his waist, hung it on his back, and walked deeper from the other side.
Tap tap tap~~
Steady footsteps became the only sound between heaven and earth.
Qiu Tianhe was a little hesitant when he saw this. After all, the fight was in front of the stone monument, and those who fought had the opportunity to jump off the ring. According to the established rules of the arena, if the winner is defeated, the winner will jump off the ring to pursue him. This is an act that cannot be tolerated. Generally, no one can afford it.
Will do this.
Fighting in the middle of a thousand-foot platform is almost like a fight to the death in a cage. The weaker party has no possibility of escaping from the ring. Whether they can survive depends only on whether the winner will spare someone.
Qiu Tianhe walked behind, hesitating to speak, wanting to persuade Ye Jingtang not to be so arrogant, but with tens of thousands of people watching, it was obviously not advisable to inflate others' momentum and destroy his own prestige.
Master Xuanji was holding a bunch of weapons, his demeanor was much calmer, his eyes were on the back of Ye Jingtang, secretly wondering why Ye Jingtang could use the knife faster than Kuang Yazi.
Junshan Platform is too big, and the countless Jianghu people floating on the lake are too far away to see clearly. Seeing outsiders coming onto the stage, some brave swordsmen also landed on the edge of the platform.
Although standing on the stage, being hacked to death without saying a word, and having to be scolded, this risk is nothing compared to watching this level of confrontation at close range.
Tap tap tap...
Soon, the two of them arrived at the very center of Junshan Terrace, far away from the surrounding waves and fleets, leaving only the sound of wind and rain in the sky and earth.
Ye Jingtang took off his hat, revealing his long hair tied up with a black belt. He stood in the rain with his hands naturally hanging down. His eyes turned from sharp to dull, and there was no more fluctuation in his aura, turning into a stone that blended in with the environment.
Qiu Tianhe was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. After all, in the capital city a few days ago, the Night Jing Hall did not have this kind of harmony between man and nature.
At this level, Ye Jingtang cannot see through Xuanyuan Chao, and Xuanyuan Chao cannot see through Ye Jingtang either.
For this reason, Xuanyuan looked more squarely in his eyes, putting all the old and new grudges behind him, his hands drooping naturally, his mind only on the knife, and looking at Ye Jingtang's eyes.
The two sides stood ten feet apart, and the dense crowd around Junshan Terrace had their hearts in their throats.
And a confrontation that will surely be famous all over the world and affect the world of the world for decades to come also officially begins at this moment!
thunderbolt--
Cang Lei resounded through the sky, and a sharp sword cry also sounded in the center of Junshan Terrace.
Choking——
Ye Jingtang's figure changed from stillness to movement without any warning.
The moment the thunder sounded, the whole person had already shot out of the air. All the stone bricks under his feet were shattered. The dense raindrops were smashed by the body into water mist and then were carried by the strong wind, turning into a long dragon-like white mist.
Boom——
The night terror broke out and the sword was unsheathed at the same time. When the tip of the sword left the sheath, the figure had already come to Xuanyuan!
Such an astonishing speed, not to mention the nearly 10,000 warriors who were watching, even Qiu Tianhe was shocked. After all, he could 100% confirm that even if he could see the sword clearly, he would never be able to react. When the sword came out of its sheath, his head
It's gone.
After all, Xuanyuan Dynasty was the master swordsman who had dominated the world for decades. Although he had reached the end of his peak period, he was still at his peak. This shocking sword did not cause any fluctuation in his aura.
Seeing the sword coming as fast as thunder, Xuanyuan Chao's eyes even flashed as if it was a lifetime ago.
After all, when he first met Kuangyazi when he was young, what he saw was such a sword, flawless, shocking to the world, and inevitable. Although it was just a strike, it left him with an image that he would never forget. For this reason
I have been chasing for decades at all costs.
Seeing this sword again made Xuanyuan Chao feel as if he had returned to the day when he fought with Kuang Yazi to determine the sword master.
But unfortunately, the sword is still the same as before, without any changes, and he is no longer the same person when he first came out of the world!
boom--
At the same moment when Ye Jingtang's figure moved forward to attack, Xuanyuan Chao had already taken action.
The burly figure nearly two meters tall exploded in an instant, with towering muscles and even a head of gray hair that exploded and stretched in the air.
He raised his two arms like a dragon and python, stepped back with his left foot and raised his back, and the Junshan Heavy Sword, which weighed 108 kilograms, broke through the rain curtain from behind:
"drink--"
Ye Jingtang burst out with all his strength and slashed horizontally with his sword. His speed had increased to the limit, but what stood in front of him was the Junshan Sword that struck him head-on.
Neither side used any feints, they just used their peak moves to the extreme, fighting the fastest against the fastest, and the result was already clear to the masters who could see it clearly.
Ye Jingtang's explosive power is sufficient, but this sword must be stopped by the Dragon Slaying Order.
As long as the two blades are connected, it is impossible for Ye Jingtang to catch the heavy sword forcefully, let alone fly the Junshan sword and hit it with one blow.
The only result was that he was cut off by a knife and lost his balance, and then he was killed by the Dragon Slaying Order for an infinite series of deaths.
Not only the warriors gathered around this scene, but even the real person Xuanji saw that something was wrong, and had quietly moved forward, preparing to rush to the rescue when Ye Jingtang was sent flying, to prevent Xuanyuan Chao from directly hacking Ye Jingtang to death with two or three swords.
But to everyone's disbelief, the scene where the two blades met did not appear!
Xuanyuan violently struck Gongbei with his sword, and with the half-step distance he gained by taking a step back, the heavy sword was already above his head.
But in the next moment, Xuanyuan Chao suddenly realized that the swordsman in black in front of him took the last step in front of him, shaking the mountains and rivers like a giant pagoda, instantly shattering stone bricks several feet in radius.
Boom——
And Ye Jingtang, who was slashing with a knife in his left hand, his handsome cheeks instantly turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were torn to pieces, and his hairband exploded. His explosive speed, which was already at its peak, suddenly turned over in just half a step.
twice as much!
?!
Xuanyuan Chao's eyes were astonished. The first time he saw this sword, he understood that this sword was fused with Honghualou's 'Wind Pool Counter Blood'.
‘Wind Pool Counter Blood’ can indeed double the instantaneous explosive power by hurting yourself before hurting the enemy.
However, the spear move of 'Wind Pool Reverse Blood' has its Qi veins running along the ridge line, which is integrated with the luck veins of the Overlord Spear, and has nothing to do with the starting position of the Eight-Step Crazy Sword. The result of applying it mechanically can only cause the meridians to be damaged by the misaligned Qi.
The Night Jingtang can only use this sword by completely dismantling the moves of Fengchi Blood Counterattack and Eight-Step Crazy Sword, and then re-constructing the veins of luck and combining the essence of the two peak martial arts into one. Although the appearance is the same as the Eight-step Crazy Sword.
There is no difference between Bu Kuang Dao and Bu Kuang Dao, but there are two completely different sword techniques inside.
After three sword attacks, Kuangyazi began to mutilate himself, killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred to himself. He was so crazy that he did not hesitate to kill himself for killing power, so his sword technique was called "Crazy Sword".
But Ye Jingtang's sword was obviously better than his previous one.
When he draws the sword, he does not hesitate to injure him severely to increase his explosive power. Life and death depend on this sword, leaving no escape route at all. It can be said that he has implemented Kuang Yazi's philosophy to the extreme. It is already considered the most insane sword technique in the world!
Xuanyuan Chao's amazing swordsmanship skills allowed him to figure out the details of this sword in an instant.
But faced with this life-threatening ghost sword technique, he still fell into a stretched situation.
As Ye Jingtang said before the battle, his sword is faster than Kuang Yazi's sword!
What makes him fast is not his physical strength, but his sword skills.
Even if he is on the same level as Kuangyazi, his sword is faster. If he hits him a hundred times, Kuangyazi will lose.
Xuanyuan's "step back" to start his hand was to prevent Kuangyazi's starting hand, exchanging space for time.
Faced with this sword that suddenly doubled in speed, it has obviously reached the upper limit of what the bowed sword can handle. If both sides are at the same level, they will still lose if they fight the Dragon Slaying Order a hundred times!
Sa——
The sword was so fast that it reached the waist and abdomen of Xuanyuan Chao before it struck down hard.
If nothing else goes wrong, after Xuanyuan Chao's sword fell, Ye Jingtang had already used his terrifying speed to dodge past him, completely ending Xuanyuan Chao's undefeated record.
But after all, Xuanyuan Chao was the master of swordsmanship. After chasing Kuangyazi for decades, it was impossible that he had not thought about the situation where this sword could not be defended.
The moment the strange aura appeared in Ye Jingtang, Xuanyuan Chao had already given up on drawing his sword, and his rock-steady figure turned to sideways to evade.
Boom——
Amidst the roar of the earth shattering, Ye Jingtang turned into a black afterimage and passed through Xuanyuan, leaving a bloody line behind it.
Xuanyuan flashed a few feet to the side of his body and distanced himself from Ye Jingtang. A bloody mouth more than an inch deep appeared under his left ribs.
Compared with Xuanyuan Chao's body shape, this little skin injury was not much different from nothing, but the red blood spilled on the gray and black stone platform still caused an uproar in the whole place!
"Oh..."
After all, this is the first time Xuanyuan Chao has seen blood in the ring in the forty years since he became famous!
When Qiu Tianhe saw this scene, his eyes were dull and he didn't understand it at all.
Master Xuanji was secretly speechless, unable to figure out where Ye Jingtang came up with such a move.
It didn't take long for Ye Jingtang to come up with this trick.
He had never seen the strength of Bada Kui before, and his vision had always been on "seeing tricks and dismantling them", and he had been studying external conditions such as weapons and movements.
And after seeing Master Xuanji's "one punch is one punch" yesterday, he opened his eyes and understood that in the eyes of the giant on the mountain, "moves and weapons" are not important at all, what is important is the inside.
Then he spent the other half of the night adjusting the Overlord Spear, Dragon Slaying Order, Eight-Step Crazy Sword and other luck techniques, learning from each other and exploring how to make the original moves stronger.
As long as he has the right idea, constructs a method of luck, and finds the optimal solution, it is really a matter of time for him.
At this time, a knife passed through the body, leaving a wound on Xuanyuan Chao's body. Ye Jingtang's eyes, which had always been as calm as water, also showed a rush of passion.
"drink--"
The moment Ye Jingtang rushed behind Xuanyuan Chao, he stepped heavily on the ground with his feet, turned his body at a sharp angle, and moved the knife from his left hand into his right hand. He pushed the knife forward to slash, and instantly pulled out a line of white mist on the thousand-foot platform!
Boom——
There is no gap between the two swords, giving the opponent no time to backhand.
Xuanyuan dodged to the side and barely landed, but Ye Jingtang was already in front of him again!
Xuanyuan Chao has been studying the Eight-Step Crazy Sword for half his life, and he knows the moves very clearly. It is impossible to be defeated by a set of moves without any backhand strength. At the same time as he sidestepped, the heavy sword had already turned around and struck at the Night Jingtang.
direction.
But Ye Jingtang also knew the shortcomings of the Dragon Slaying Order. With the light sword retracting and releasing freely, the speed dropped sharply in the middle of the assault, just in time for the Junshan sword to sweep across the front, and then the speed exploded to the extreme again!
Sa——
Although Xuanyuan Chao was able to use the Hundred Jin Junshan Sword at his fingertips, in a fight of the same level, with a weapon weighing one hundred Jin, it would be impossible to maintain the same reaction speed as Ye Jingtang.
Seeing the night terror, Xuanyuan Chao stopped his sword without hesitation and drew it horizontally, using it as a shield in front of him.
clang--
A thunder suddenly sounded on the Junshan platform.
Ye Jingtang burst out with all his strength and rushed forward with a knife in both hands. Seeing Xuanyuan block with the drawn knife, he directly turned his slashing attack into a stabbing strike and hit the broad blade.
This sword condensed Ye Jingtang's lifelong learning, and its power was terrifying. The sword opened the rain curtain and stabbed a hole in front of him.
If it falls on the Junshan sword, even if Xuanyuan Chao is holding a magic weapon, it may be penetrated directly until it pierces the heart.
For this reason, Xuanyuan Chao reacted very quickly. He pushed the knife with his right hand and made the Junshan knife form a bevel. When the Chilong knife was stabbed, it slid to the left and rear. The fire wiped out a blood-letting groove on Hou Chuang's body, and sparks flew everywhere!
Cha——
The Chilong Sword in Ye Jingtang's hand was not like the Junshan Sword that he couldn't hold back and stabbed into the air. He immediately closed the knife and pulled it down, slashing toward Xuanyuan's abdomen.
However, Xuanyuan Dynasty's experience was also exaggerated. Although he could not keep up with the speed, he had used all Ye Jingtang's attack methods and was one step ahead of the others.
Whispering rustling——
Dang Dang Dang——
On the Qianzhang platform, the heavy rain was driven by the cross wind, turning into turbulence and flying in all directions.
The nearly 10,000 warriors watching the battle could only see a black afterimage, darting back and forth around Xuanyuan Chao, bringing out dots of fire and harsh thunder.
Although Xuanyuan Chao was as tall as a mountain, his movement was as light as a butterfly. His heavy sword, which weighed a hundred kilograms, flashed back and forth around his body. He blocked Ye Jingtang's almost crazy attack with ease, seemingly without losing any chance.
However, top experts such as Master Xuanji could tell that this fight was over as expected.
Because Xuanyuan Chao was forcibly interrupted by Ye Jingtang twice when he raised his sword, there was no chance for him to use his sword a third time. He just used the heavy sword as a shield to passively block.
If the Junshan Sword cannot rotate, it cannot rely on the inertial accumulated speed and blade force to pose a threat to Ye Jingtang. If you want to hit Ye Jingtang with a piece of iron weighing hundreds of pounds, unless water enters Ye Jingtang's head and hits the knife edge.
Collide.
However, Ye Jingtang has the initiative and may miss a hundred cuts, but with one hit, the Xuanyuan Dynasty will be gone.
"Buzz..."
Although the warriors who were watching around Junshan Terrace realized later, they quickly realized that Xuanyuan Dynasty's Dragon Slaying Order seemed to have been crushed to death, and a thunderous noise gradually sounded on the lake.
When Qiu Tianhe saw this scene he had fantasized about for countless years, his hands trembled slightly, and he actually felt tears filling his eyes.
But before Qiu Tianhe could get excited, a sudden change in the arena suddenly plunged the entire world into deathly silence!
Everyone could see that Xuanyuan Chao was bound to lose. As a contemporary swordsman, how could Xuanyuan Chao himself not be able to see this?
Just when Ye Jingtang turned around again, trying to take advantage of Xuanyuan Chao's half-circle to pierce his ribs with a knife, the sound of a knife suddenly sounded from the ring!
Choking——
Xuanyuan Chao's hair was flying, and his originally smooth eyes also showed the fanaticism that belongs to a swordsman. In the midst of an angry roar, the hands holding the Junshan Sword twisted slightly, and then his figure suddenly exploded, pulling in the rain.
A bright white light appeared!
The hair in Ye Jingtang's heart stood up, and his body suddenly stopped, and he changed his thrust to block. His pupils narrowed slightly and he looked carefully, but he saw that the thick-backed broad knife flew out, leaving only the blade and no handle.
Xuanyuan Chao, whose speed increased dramatically, was holding a long knife over four feet tall in both hands. The blade was slender with a cold glow. It weighed no more than six kilograms according to visual inspection. It almost left an afterimage in the air, and it was already in front of him in the blink of an eye.
block--
With the two blades connected, Xuanyuan Chao's terrifying explosive power was finally revealed.
Although Ye Jingtang responded in time, the difference in body size was due to this. Under the heavy blow, his feet stepped on the gravel bricks, and his whole body slid back more than ten feet before he stopped.
This scene not only shocked the night hall, but also Master Xuanji and others were stunned.
Although everyone knew that Junshantai disciples would carry secondary weapons in case they failed to raise the sword and were unable to backhand, they did not expect that Xuanyuan Chao himself also hid a light sword.
After the blow, both parties stopped in unison.
Ye Jingtang was covered in mist. He looked at Xuanyuan Chao in the distance and said:
"If you lose the world-famous Junshan Sword, you will admit that the Dragon Slaying Order has been broken."
"Oh——"
The countless people watching around Junshan Terrace didn't dare to breathe until now, and they were whispering to each other, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Xuanyuan Chao was naked from the waist up, with blood staining the left skirt of her armor. The four-foot-long knife pointed diagonally at the ground, and his eyes remained arrogant:
"I lost the Dragon Slaying Order, but I did not lose. The Dragon Slaying Order is a sword technique that I learned in my twenties. It took me more than forty years to break it. Do you think that I have been standing still in the past forty years?
"
Ye Jingtang knew that Xuanyuan Dynasty could not only have this little background, but he still said:
"I can break Kuang Yazi's eight-step mad sword, and I can break any sword technique in the world. It doesn't matter what you suppress."
"I practiced swordsmanship when I was three years old. The person I admire most in my life is Kuangyazi. I also know the truth of 'Only the fastest is not broken'. The Dragon Slaying Order can defeat the eight-step Kuangyao. It is true that the victory is because Kuangyazi's sword is not fast enough and cannot defeat the eight-step sword."
The mad sword is polished to its peak."
Xuanyuan flipped his wrist slightly and held the long knife upside down in his left hand:
"If you practice the Dragon Slaying Order, you will be broken by a faster sword sooner or later; but only by practicing the sharp sword can you be truly indestructible.
"Do you think you are the only one in the world who can master the Eight-Step Crazy Sword technique by one foot?"
"Oh..."
Countless people in the arena were watching with disbelief when they heard that Xuanyuan Chao was preparing to use the eight-step mad sword to strike the night terror hall, but it made sense after thinking about it carefully.
Xuanyuan Dynasty was able to defeat the Eight-Step Crazy Saber, which must have been painstakingly studied for decades. With Xuanyuan Dynasty's understanding, it is not unusual to study the Eight-Step Crazy Saber like a cat and a tiger.
Although they are the same sword technique, Ye Jingtang's luck technique is completely different from Kuang Yazi's.
The same was obviously true for the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
This move cannot be said to be a rivalry with the same sect or to steal from others, but rather to create two new schools based on their own research and understanding based on the martial arts concepts of their predecessors. They compete with each other to see who has learned a better new sword technique!
When Ye Jingtang saw that Xuanyuan Chao was about to defeat him, he joined in and fought with him with the Eight-Step Crazy Sword. After being silent for a while, he said:
"The sword technique concept of the Dragon Slaying Order amazes me. It has its own advantages and disadvantages like the Eight-Step Crazy Sword, but they are all interconnected and impeccable. It is the top sword technique in the world.
"If the eight-step mad sword can't defeat the dragon-slaying order, it's just a human being. If the dragon-slaying order can't beat the eight-step mad sword, it's still a human being.
"It's a pity that you gave up the Dragon Slaying Order and turned to study the Eight-Step Crazy Sword."
Xuanyuan frowned and said nothing.
Ye Jingtang stuck the Chilong knife on the ground and raised his hand:
"There are thousands of martial arts in the world, and they are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. There is no absolute strength or weakness. It just depends on who is using it."
"You show me what the Eight-Step Crazy Sword is, and I'll show you what the Dragon-Slaying Order is!"
"Oh——"
The people watching the battle nearby were furious when they heard this.
After all, after the battle, changing weapons and fighting again is no different from the grandson's game. Losing both games is a shame and humiliation, and you can just commit suicide on the spot.
Qiu Tianhe was stunned. Although he knew Ye Jingtang was domineering, he didn't expect him to be so arrogant.
Teach Xuanyuan Dynasty to use the dragon-slaying order, and kill people with heartache...
Xuanji, the real person, did not expect Ye Jingtang to be so arrogant. Looking at the high-spirited young handsome man in the ring, something strange flashed in his eyes.
If the occasion was not suitable, according to her temperament of not taking things too seriously, she would have to say, "If you can win, sister, I will grant you any wish" to stimulate the night terror.
It was a pity that with tens of thousands of people watching, it was impossible for Master Xuanji to act like this, so he just threw the Junshan sword and shoulder strap to the Night Terror Hall.
Huhu~
Snapped--
Ye Jingtang caught the flying heavy knife with one hand, put on the shoulder strap and hung it on his shoulder.
The wind and rain in the sky also fell into deathly silence at this time, leaving only the two people standing in the middle of the Qianzhang Platform.
Xuanyuan Chao stood quietly in the rain, his brows furrowed, and his eyes suddenly lost the sharpness they had maintained for forty years.
Because Xuanyuan Chao actually discovered that the person he is now is indeed not the person he was before he was thirty years old.
Thirty years ago, facing Kuangyazi who was at the height of his power, he still dared to go to the door with Junshan sword like Ye Jingtang does now to see who is the contemporary swordsman.
But now that I know a lot more and have gained a lot of experience, the stubborn mentality of not hitting the wall and never looking back has disappeared.
It’s a good thing to know that ‘it’s only fast but not broken’, but if everyone has a thorough understanding of how to practice fast knives, and there are no fools and fools to find new ways to delve into the heresy, how can there be today’s world where a hundred flowers are blooming?
The arrogance and absolute self-confidence in Ye Jingtang were like an enlightenment. Xuanyuan Chao suddenly woke up and realized that he had been working behind closed doors for forty years and had unknowingly followed the crowd and forgotten his original intention of practicing swordsmanship!
If a swordsman has self-doubt and no longer believes in his sword, how will his eyes show the sharpness?
Xuanyuan Chao held the handle of the knife. After being silent for a long time, he took a gentle breath, suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his heart, and said:
"It's a pity that you were born too late. After this battle, there will no longer be a swordsman on the equal footing with you and me. I feel invincible, but also indescribably confused and lonely."
Xuanyuan Chao's words were a sigh: "Only when you have an equally matched opponent can you realize your own mistakes and grow diligently."
Ye Jingtang understood the meaning, his hands naturally dropped, and he responded calmly:
"If it hadn't been for the turmoil that year, which destroyed the spirit of young swordsmen, today's Junshan Terrace would be full of heroes and a hundred flowers blooming.
"The swordsmen in the martial arts world are in such a good situation today, not because there are too few swordsmen in the martial arts world, but because you, the leading swordsman, are not worthy of being regarded as a role model for young people to look up to and follow."
"Ah……"
Xuanyuan Chao was over seventy years old and had already understood what was right and wrong in this life. All he wanted now was a smooth sword blow. He said no more and strode forward to the Night Terror Hall.
Boom, boom~
Dull footsteps sounded again from the rain curtain.
Ye Jingtang's body was covered with mist, his body was as still as a pine tree, and the fervor in his eyes had turned into the usual tranquility.
thunderbolt--
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky again.
Xuanyuan Chao's steps became faster and faster. When he was ten feet away, his feet suddenly exerted force. His stalwart figure bowed and popped up, breaking through the rain curtain in an instant. The long knife in his left hand slashed towards the middle door of the Night Terror Hall.
This knife is also incredibly fast!
Xuanyuan Chao was able to see through the details of Ye Jingtang's sword skills, and Ye Jingtang also saw the secret of this sword at a glance - using the method of "bending the knife with a back", changing the sword to a person, greatly strengthening the eight steps
The attack speed of the crazy sword's initial strike.
This improvement can be said to be very subtle, because Ye Jingtang only thought about the left-hand knife and the right-hand knife, and did not consider working on the waist and legs to make the knife in his hand that has reached its limit even half a minute faster.
Although this sword is not as terrifying as Ye Jingtang's self-destructive sword method of 800, it is better than not having to damage 800, and it is enough to break the Dragon Slaying Order.
But it is a pity that the Night Terror Hall does not use the normal Dragon Slaying Order, but the new version of the Dragon Slaying Order that was developed using the same idea yesterday when improving the Eight-Step Crazy Sword.
"drink--"
At the same time that Xuanyuan Chao made his move, Ye Jingtang took half a step back with his left foot and held the handle of the knife behind his back with both hands. The exposed skin all over his body instantly turned red, veins popped out all over his muscles, and there were even bloodshot eyes gushing out from the corners of his eyes.
Boom——
The violent running force instantly pushed away the rain curtain and broken bricks on the ground, clearing a vacuum in the surrounding area.
The Junshan Sword hanging on his back also bounced up in the blink of an eye, slashing forward with an almost crazy speed.
In this scene, even a martial artist who does not know martial arts can see that the moment Ye Jingtang raised his sword, his whole body's energy and veins were shocked, and his muscles and bones must have been strained.
But this does not hinder the destructive power of this sword to destroy heaven and earth.
Xuanyuan Chao exploded with all his strength and rushed in front of Ye Jingtang at the fastest speed in his life. He was unable to bypass the retreat step that he had worked on for decades to flick the knife with his back!
The half-step that Ye Jingtang took back was like a natural chasm in front of him. No matter how much he squeezed his body, waiting in front of him was the Junshan knife that would chop him down without giving him any chance.
It was also at this time that Xuanyuan Chao understood how Kuang Yazi felt when facing him, and also how all swordsmen felt when facing the Junshan Sword.
It was an overwhelming despair!
It was like a high mountain was pressing down on him. He tried his best, but he couldn't get out of the affected area. He could only watch helplessly as this mountain of ten thousand feet fell on him.
This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and violent sword techniques in the world.
Even if they can't defeat the eight-step mad sword, they are still evenly matched, it just depends on who is using the sword.
If he had seen this knife when he was young, he would probably have been haunted by it for the rest of his life...
But now, why do we see this knife in other people's hands!
This is his knife...
Boom——
The two blades connected, and the rain curtain in the sky was shaken back to the sky.
The strong wind of the knife was raging and leveled a layer of floor tiles in an instant.
And whether on the battlefield or in the arena, the Xuanyuan Dynasty, which has always stood firm for a lifetime, is no different from all the swordsmen who have received orders to slay the dragon.
Pressed down by the terrifying force of splitting mountains and breaking seas, Xuanyuan Chao Wei's figure could not stand at all. The back of the knife struck Huashan with such force that it hit his forearm, and his whole body fell backwards to the ground.
Boom——
Rubbles flew from the thousand-foot stone platform, and a huge dent was instantly made in the center.
Xuanyuan Chao, wearing half armor, flew out of the pit diagonally, fell to the ground again, and slid dozens of feet along the smooth platform.
"drink--"
Ye Jingtang's sword fell behind without any space, and he jumped forward again, dragging the sword with both hands to spin around and strike at the landing point of Xuanyuan Chao.
Sa——
Xuanyuan Chao reacted extremely quickly, turned over and dodged sideways, dodging the dangerous blades, but the next one struck him again.
Huhuhu~——
But in the blink of an eye, the terrifying sound that thousands of swordsmen in the martial arts world regarded as nightmares rang out from Junshan Terrace again.
Ye Jingtang's body rotated with the knife, but it turned into a windmill in an instant. From a distance, only the circular bright light of the knife could be seen, and it was impossible to tell where the knife body was.
The pouring rain on the Junshan platform was also turned into a vortex by the spiral energy, like a waterspout, moving rapidly on the platform.
Xuanyuan Chao's huge figure of just over two meters appeared to be insignificant in front of the vast power of heaven. His skills were still as fast as thunder, and he quickly moved around on the high platform, but he could no longer touch the pursuing gun.
Heavy knife.
There are nearly ten thousand people around Junshan Terrace, whether they are knowledgeable or not, they all know that the outcome has been decided.
The dragon-slaying order is basically invincible when the sword is strong. If you want to fight, you can only use long weapons.
Ye Jingtang has accumulated the power of the sword to such a terrifying level that no one can see clearly. Not to mention Xuanyuan Chao, even if Ye Jingtang himself uses the improved eight-step mad sword, if he dares to take advantage of the loophole, he will probably die in exchange for death.
.
Because once you go in, you don’t have time to get out, and no matter where you are stabbed, you will be hit by at least one knife.
Just now, everyone thought that the Eight-Step Crazy Sword was indeed superior, but now it seems that the Dragon Slaying Order is really not weak, it's just that one fights in the early stage and the other fights in the late stage. The strong period is different. It just depends on whose hand the sword is in.
Huhuhu——
Nearly ten thousand people were paying full attention, looking at the waterspout on the Qianzhang platform.
And this confrontation concerning the identity of Dao Kuai has also become the personal stage of Night Terror Hall at this moment.
The power of the sword has been accumulated to this point, and the speed and power are already perfect. Xuanyuan Chao cannot break the sword technique for which he is famous. All he can do is keep dodging to avoid its sharp edges.
But after the dragon-slaying sword becomes powerful, as long as you know how to control the sword, the hundred-jin Junshan sword will fly on its own without much effort at all, and it won't be too slow to dodge and move.
Unless Xuanyuan Chao turned around and ran away, it was impossible to get rid of the pursuing blade. Even if he got rid of Ye Jingtang, he obviously would not stop the already formed sword and would still pursue him.
"drink!"
This may be the first time in Xuanyuan Chao's life that he has been thrown into such a hopeless situation. He has been in the rivers and lakes all his life. He did not admit defeat. Instead, his eyes were as wide as copper bells. He suddenly hit the spinning heavy knife with both hands and pushed the knife with both hands.
Remember to make a straight stab and take the torso of Night Terror Hall.
This move is to exchange life for life and forcefully stop the force of Ye Jingtang's sword.
But Ye Jingtang didn't give him any chance at all. He retreated half a minute while turning around, and struck a powerful and powerful sword directly on the stabbing blade.
clang--
In the explosion of gold and iron, the terrifying destructive power of the hundred-jin sword was revealed. When it hit the six-seven-jin long knife, it was completely crushed.
Xuanyuan Chao could hold the handle of the knife, but the blade could not withstand such a brutal blow. The blade was bent and turned into a corner.
But in just an instant, the heavy sword spun around in a circle, splitting Huashan Mountain with force, and fell towards Xuanyuan Chao's head again, without giving him any chance to react.
Xuanyuan raised the bent long knife to block it. The terrifying energy contained in the heavy knife was directly vented on his body. The long knife did not break, but it was smashed into the chest. The ribs were shattered and flesh flew everywhere. His whole body was shaken.
Embedded among the gravel on the ground.
Boom!
"drink--"
The moment Ye Jingtang's sword fell, the next sword had already exerted force, and he spun around and struck Xuanyuan Chao again, who had not yet bounced up.
With Xuanyuan Chao's background, he could still turn over and move away at this time, and then pull for a while.
But Xuanyuan Chao did not make any move. As the chief swordsman, he understood the current situation better than anyone else, and there was no point in pushing further.
Xuanyuan Chao stared blankly at the heavy sword falling in the sky with his old eyes that had seen the world for seventy years. There was no fear, regret, regret, or unwillingness in his eyes, but only a touch of relief.
After all, this is Jianghu.
New life, old man dies.
The world of martial arts is a succession of old and new generations, and all top warriors cannot avoid this fate.
He once lived under the sword, traveled across the battlefield, dominated the sword world, accomplished feats that ordinary people in the world could only dream of in their lifetime, and stood on the top of the mountain all his life.
But now he died under the sword, and he died at the peak of his powers. He lost in a fair and dignified manner, without leaving any trace of unwillingness because of old age and physical weakness.
This is indeed a good death for a top martial artist.
Even if he is alive after this battle, his ribs are all broken and his roots are damaged, and he will only live for a few years. Facing his fading halo and old and sick body, what awaits him is probably the endless regret of dying alone.
And if you die by the sword, whether you are right or wrong in this life, it will all return to dust, and you don’t need to think about it anymore.
But it was a pity that the knife was very long and did not fall on the head until the end.
Shashasha~~
The Qianzhang Platform fell into dead silence, leaving only the sound of heavy rain.
Ye Jingtang held the knife in both hands and stopped three inches above Xuanyuan's head. He was panting like a cow and sweating, but his eyes were very calm. He looked at those old and dim eyes and said:
"You have harmed your children for a lifetime, and you have harmed my father for a lifetime. You have been a master swordsman for decades, and you want to die happily on my sword if you can't beat him. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
"You have two choices now, continue to live without children and no hope, and live out the last few years in regret; if you can't bear the pain, you can also commit suicide and be free, and die like a pure charlatan.
"
After Ye Jingtang finished speaking, he put away the Junshan knife and inserted it on the edge of the pit. The broad blade looked like an unmarked tombstone.
Xuanyuan Chao, who was covered in blood, moved his eyes, and then anger appeared:
"If you want to kill, then kill, why bother talking such nonsense?"
Ye Jingtang raised his hand to wipe away the rainwater, looked to the distant northwest, and said calmly:
"My father's life was not miserable. He had a son who stayed with him every day for more than ten years, helping to take care of the family business. He would also help with extra clothes on windy and snowy days. After his death, he also had a son who wore sackcloth and mourned him to support him until his death.
I can leave my last wish to my son, and my life will be complete.
"If you weren't so greedy back then, you should have a successful son now.
"Sitting on the stage at your age, you may be able to watch your son compete with me. You will laugh heartily when you win, and when you lose, you will say something comforting, 'The world is about the waves behind pushing the waves ahead. Dad is not dead yet, so you will have plenty of time in the future.' .
"Maybe you will have some smart grandsons. In your free time, you can sit under the eaves and watch the little kids drawing with wooden knives in the yard, laughing and giving some pointers..."
"Night Terror Hall!"
Xuanyuan Chao's face flushed red from the irritation caused by these heart-wrenching words, and loud shouts resounded throughout Junshan Terrace. His eyes were like ferocious tigers.
"Unfortunately, you are not so lucky, so it makes no difference to me whether you are dead or alive."
After Ye Jingtang finished speaking, he turned around and came to the Chilong Sword, pulled out the saber and sheathed it.
Cha~
With a soft sound, the sky filled with wind and rain returned to complete tranquility at this moment.
"Oh..."
"Ouch——!"
"Awesome..."
…
At the edge of the overcrowded Qianzhang Platform, the roar of the mountains was like a tidal wave at this moment.
Countless swordsmen, whom they knew or didn't know, were screaming for unknown reasons, and some even jumped directly onto the giant wordless monument and beat their chests and feet. They didn't know what they were excited about.
The birds hovering in the sky also landed on Ye Jingtang's shoulders at this time, assuming a majestic posture, spreading their wings: "Chi chi chi chi..." in response.
Ye Jingtang stood on the Junshan platform and looked around at the crowds of people. He fulfilled his adoptive father's last wish and felt a lot relieved. It was also a pity that Da Benben, Ning'er, Sanniang and Xiao Yunli were not here, otherwise they would definitely rush over. If you give him a kiss, you might be able to fire three shots at night...
Qiu Tianhe looked back at Xuanyuan Chao, who had a ferocious but somewhat absent-minded look, and sighed secretly, with a bit of sadness on his face.
Xuanyuan Dynasty spared Zheng Feng's life because of Xuanyuan Tiangang, and Ye Jingtang has not personally killed Xuanyuan Dynasty now. This is undoubtedly the most reasonable way to clear up the grudges.
As for Xuanyuan Chao's choice of regretting for the rest of his life or committing suicide, Qiu Tianhe didn't care, he had to choose whatever he chose.
Qiu Tianhe retracted his gaze, showed a smile, walked over and patted Ye Jingtang on the shoulder:
"Oh, I have been thinking about Dao Kui for half my life, but in the end, I was intercepted by your kid. This senior has to give in to the juniors and cannot compete with you. There is no hope in the future."
Ye Jingtang knew it was a joke, but he still said:
"Don't worry, I won't be able to be a leader for long. As long as I defeat the top three Bagui, I won't be included in the secular world. The title of Bagui will automatically be passed to the next one."
Qiu Tianhe blinked his eyes and felt that this was indeed the case. As long as Xuanyuan Tiangang didn't jump out, no one in the world would compete with him for the position of second child. He then said:
"Not many people will recognize the postponement. When the time comes, we will still have a fight and try to avoid defeat..."
Master Xuanji also stood in front of him. Looking at the grand scene of the rivers and lakes filled with people, he felt very proud. He thought about taking off the wine gourd from his waist and handed it to Ye Jingtang:
"On the wedding night, when the gold medal is named. To win the title of swordsman is to be named on the gold medal in the world. Why don't you take a bite on such a happy occasion?"
Ye Jingtang did not refuse. He took the gourd of vermilion wine and took a big gulp of it.
Master Xuanji narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Ye Jingtang shouting at each other, but he didn't care and continued:
"I will draw this scene for you later and show it to Li Ren and Ning'er..."
"Ahem——"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Jingtang suddenly coughed twice, his face turned red, he covered his mouth with his fist and said:
"Let's go quickly. I'll be embarrassed on stage if I faint later..."
Qiu Tianhe and Xuanji, who were enjoying the admiration of thousands of people, saw their expressions change. They knew that Ye Jingtang's desperate attack just now had hurt their bodies, and it was definitely not serious.
Qiu Tianhe said: "I'll help you send the Jianghu people here to get close to you. You can find a place to recover quickly."
When Master Xuanji saw that Ye Jingtang's aura was completely messed up and it was difficult to stand still, he made a very intimate gesture, raised his hand to hug Ye Jingtang's arm, secretly supported Ye Jingtang's body, and walked towards the lake.
"Oh——"
"Ye Da Xia..."
…
Mountain roars and tsunamis resounded through the sky, and even thunder and heavy rain could not suppress it.
Ye Jingtang was held by Xuanji's little watermelon, which looked like a hot water balloon. He made a calm gesture, nodded to the heroes on the shore, and then got into the boat, amidst the waves of greetings.
Driving into the lake full of mist and rain...
