The battle on the competition ground became more and more intense. Ji Guangyuan wielded a broadsword. The high-quality sword was swung as easily as a branch in his hand. Facing his thunderous attack, Li
Zi Xiao is also flawless in parrying.
The two continued to attack, but the battle reached a stalemate.
They are all looking for that breaking point.
Li Zixiao, who was initially ready to seize the opportunity, is now on the defensive. Compared to Ji Guangyuan, she is actually under greater pressure.
She was calm, her figure kept flashing, and the Ice Xuan Sword in her hand shone with ice-blue sword light. From the battle to the present, her eyes had always been on Ji Guangyuan's movements.
In the previous games, Li Zixiao was keenly aware of a problem, that is, the soldiers of the Tianling Army who came out of the battlefield often did not hold back during the battle. Regardless of offense or defense, as long as they were looking for
If you get a chance, you will try to give the opponent a fatal blow.
There are referees supervising the field, so they don't have to worry about actually killing anyone.
This kind of fighting method will put a lot of pressure on people, but at the same time, it is equivalent to revealing their fighting habits.
A qualified practitioner should understand that once such things as fighting habits are discovered by the enemy, the subsequent battle will be very dangerous.
Li Zixiao's eyes were clear and bright, while Ji Guangyuan's attacks were particularly ruthless, showing no compassion for the woman.
However, it was under such a ruthless attack that Li Zixiao, who was on the defensive side, finally figured out the pattern of this man's attacks.
The knives and swords were intersecting. It looked like a clash of weapons, but in fact it was a clash of spiritual powers between two people. Li Zixiao's breakthrough to the peak of psychic power did not last as long as Ji Guangyuan's, so her spiritual power foundation was not as good as Ji Guangyuan's.
of.
Under this premise, the longer the battle lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be to her. This is something everyone from the players to the audience knows very well.
Dang!!
After another fight, Li Zixiao's figure shook slightly and took two steps back.
‘Opportunity!’
Ji Guangyuan's eyes narrowed, and he stepped hard, causing gravel to fly. He held the knife in both hands and slashed towards Li Zixiao's neck.
"It's over!"
In the audience, the expressions of the disciples in the inner hall all changed, and many of them were filled with despair.
"Oops!"
Behind the players, Ling Xiaoyun and others also felt nervous. They all knew that in the process of being repelled like this, if the opponent landed a follow-up blow, it would be fatal.
While everyone was nervous about Li Zixiao, only a certain young comrade sitting between the two Huatings had a smile on his face, a strategizing smile.
‘Won.’
Comrade Yun Xiaoxi said from the bottom of her heart.
The broadsword cut through the sky, approaching Li Zixiao amidst the sharp whistling.
Ji Guangyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that it was finally over. This woman named Li Zixiao was really difficult to deal with.
However, just when he thought that this battle was finally going to end by himself, a bone-chilling chill suddenly surrounded his arms.
His pupils trembled, and he suddenly discovered that beside Li Zixiao, a cold wave was coming. The cold wave appeared suddenly but not in a hurry, as if he had been waiting for it for a long time.
The cold wave is just an image, it is actually the embodiment of Li Zixiao's spiritual power. The cold mist turns into frost, and the frost turns into ice. The black ice instantly covers his blade and quickly spreads towards his arm!
‘Fooled!’
Ji Guangyuan noticed this immediately and knew that this was a flaw that Li Zixiao deliberately sold. He immediately shook the spiritual knife, and the sharp knife intention chopped the Xuan Bing into pieces. He held the handle of the knife hard with his cold hands and continued to move towards Li Zixiao.
Zixiao waved away.
Li Zixiao's sword was already thrusting towards his chest. At this time, it was too late to defend, so he could only use his strength as strength to force the opponent to return to defense.
But he soon discovered that Li Zixiao had no intention of sheathing his sword.
‘This woman, does she want to die with me?’
Ji Guangyuan thought in shock.
The sword and the knife struck together. In terms of speed, Li Zixiao's sword was undoubtedly faster, but even if her sword successfully stabbed Ji Guangyuan, it could not stop Ji Guangyuan's knife from striking her.
At this time, it is not the key who strikes first, but who can block the opponent's attack.
Li Zixiao gave her answer.
The black ice shattered by Ji Guangyuan flew down in mid-air, like a swarm of meteors.
But the meteors did not fall to the ground. Instead, they met in mid-air and condensed into a pure white lotus of ice and snow - on a pair of jade fingertips as white as onions.
Ice Lotus Sword Technique: Ice Lotus·Ju Ming!
Sharp and fierce sword intent burst out from Li Zixiao's fingertips. Her free left hand actually put two fingers together and performed a sword technique.
Everyone in the audience was shocked. No one thought that Li Zixiao could actually use his fingers as a sword.
This woman who has been loyal to kendo for twenty years has now made achievements in kendo that have shocked countless people.
Using the jade finger as a sword, a condensed ice lotus blocked Ji Guangyuan's weak sword. Even if it only lasted for a moment, it was enough for Li Zixiao's long sword to pierce the opponent's chest.
The tip of the sword broke through Ji Guangyuan's protective spiritual power, penetrated his clothes, and penetrated into his skin. The blood slid down the sword body, and the "tick-tock" sound on the ground was like the cheers of a victor.
.
The referee's voice echoed around.
"The first game of the sixth round is over! Winner: [Yunxi Force] Team Li Zixiao!"
Wow!!
Cheers, wails, and discussions echoed in the Zhutian Spiritual Field. Li Zixiao's counterattack at the last moment shocked everyone. No one could have imagined that she could actually hide such a skill. p>
But in fact, compared to her methods, her fighting ideas should be more admirable.
Li Zixiao, who won the victory, did not show the slightest joy. She just put the Bing Xuan Sword back into its scabbard, held the sword, and walked silently towards the audience.
"You are amazing."
A strange voice came from the side, and Ji Guangyuan took the initiative to speak to Li Zixiao.
"Thank you."
She responded calmly, without even stopping.
"Um..." Ji Guangyuan hesitated for a moment and then asked boldly, "Can I still discuss with you after the game?"
"I have someone to discuss with."
Li Zixiao's voice was clear and sweet but did not contain a trace of emotion. Her pace remained steady and she answered Ji Guangyuan's questions quickly without even looking at him.
Ji Guangyuan was a little surprised by such a clear rejection. He looked at Li Zixiao's leaving figure with a trace of bitterness on his face.
Things in the world are impermanent, and so are feelings. In the world of spiritual practitioners, it is inevitable that there will be troubles that ordinary people also face.
Many times it is just an accidental encounter, a distant look, and a lifetime is missed...
Yun Xi looked through the glass at the figure who walked off the stage calmly after winning, and felt sincerely happy for Li Zixiao. Indeed, even she didn't know that Li Zixiao's control of the sword had reached this level.<
/p>
She can also use her fingers as swords, but she has never seen Li Zixiao do it. Maybe we have spent less time together in the past few years, and our understanding of each other is slightly insufficient.
The reason why she thinks Li Zixiao can win is just because of her trust in her.
She would not show her flaws so easily. Yun Xi, who had fought against Li Zixiao many times, knew this very well, so after seeing Li Zixiao's flaws, her first reaction was not to think that things were bad, but to know that
,Li Zixiao found a way to win.
‘In a few years, everyone is actually growing up.’
Yun Xi thought this way, and warned herself in her heart not to relax in practice.
"This girl is really smart."
Zhuge Shu's voice sounded, and he gave Li Zixiao a high evaluation. For him, Li Zixiao's fighting methods were only secondary. What really impressed him was her tactics.
Qiu Jinlai said: "But this can be regarded as a reminder to the players behind. It will be difficult for the next players to rely on catching the opponent's shooting habits to win."
When a person falls in one place, the remaining people will be reminded to be extra cautious.
Dongfang Wenyuan smiled and said: "This is the really interesting part of this game. On the battlefield, you need more than just strength."
Tactical layout, on-the-spot changes, and even luck... are all important factors in winning.
Mr. Wei turned to look at Yun Xi and asked: "Yun Xi, what do you think, how [Yun Xi Force] will arrange the players in the future?"
"..."
Yun Xi, who originally wanted to answer, changed her face after hearing the words [Yun Xi's power]. She turned to look at Mr. Wei, saw the smile in his eyes, and knew that he said that on purpose.
of.
‘Lord Alliance Leader, I swear, I really didn’t come up with this name. I am really loyal to the Tianling Alliance! I will go back and find the culprit who came up with this name!!’
After expressing her sincerity to the leader of the alliance whom she had yet to meet, Yun Xi said: "I think... Xiao Lingyuan and the others should arrange for Xia Qingyao and Lu Qi to play."
"Tell me why."
The general seems to be particularly concerned about Yun Xi.
Yun Xi said: "Because... Nangong Yao and the others will definitely appear last."
"Oh?"
Everyone who heard her explanation was a little surprised. They originally thought Yun Xi would have some insights, but in the end, she explained it like this?
The general smiled and asked with interest: "Why do you think so?"
Yun Xi glanced at Dongfang Yao. From the moment she saw the general and Dongfang Yao, she knew that Yaozi was under different pressure from others in this game.
But based on her understanding of Nangong Yao, that guy is not only not a person who gives up when faced with difficulties, on the contrary, he always faces difficulties head-on.
Just like in the Buddha's secret realm, they knew that they and others were no match for Qingyan Tongmu, but they still chose to come to rescue Yun Xi and Xiaoying without hesitation.
For Nangong Yao, he must not only win this game, but also win well enough to defeat his opponents in the areas they are best at. This must be what he thinks!
Yun Xi can be sure.
"Because they are all very good people."
Yun Xi replied with confidence and trust in her tone, making people look slightly sideways.
At the same time, the referee's loud voice came from outside.
"The second game of the sixth round of the team competition: Xia Qingyao, Lu Qi versus Hu Weihai, Cao Xiangzhi!"
The players on Yunxi's power team are no different from what Yunxi judged.
Mr. Wei and others didn't say anything. They looked at the competition stage, waiting for the game to start.
On the court, four people faced each other in pairs. Xia Qingyao and Lu Qi looked at each other and recalled information about each other in their minds.
Hu Weihai, peak psychic, deputy captain of Tianqing First Army, weapon Yanyue Sword.
Cao Xiangzhi, late psychic, weapon with two-handed axe.
The weapons of the two are relatively rare compared to their previous opponents, but this is not surprising in the army.
Anyone who knows something about the military knows very well that on the battlefield, the best weapon is always the weapon that can cause the most damage to the enemy. The sword that is widely favored by spiritual practitioners is actually not very popular on the battlefield. It has neither the ferocity of swords and axes, nor the length of guns, nor the super long range of arrows. Except for some people who have made great achievements in the art of swordsmanship, such weapons are rarely used on the battlefield.
……
Of course, no matter how special the weapon is, the outcome of the game is still determined by the person using the weapon.
When the referee said "the game begins", four spiritual powers on the field burst out at the same time.
With two clanging sounds, Xia Qingyao and Lu Qi's swords came out of their bodies at the same time. One on the left and the other on the right, they rushed towards Hu Weihai and Cao Xiangzhi respectively. The other party also gained momentum and rushed over with weapons in hand.
Hu Weihai and Cao Xiangzhi were very close to each other. The moment they approached Xia Qingyao and the others, they suddenly exerted force, their directions changed instantly, and they all rushed towards Lu Qi.
Hu Weihai swung the Yanyue Sword, and the long blade flew through the air, slashing hard towards Lu Qi's waist. Cao Xiangzhi threw a hand ax at the same moment, and the hand ax whirled around, like a round of darts surrounding Lu Qi.
behind her, blocking her retreat.
The two men's attack transition was extremely quick, and their coordination was flawless, leaving no time for everyone to react.
But with such an exquisite cooperation, when he was about to approach Lu Qi, he was blocked by the opponent's slender spiritual sword!
Hu Weihai's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that Xia Qingyao could rush to help so quickly. Has her speed already reached this level?
No, that’s not right!
When Hu Weihai's eyes fell on Lu Qi, he found that the other party had actually left his attack range. These two people had been following the action as early as the moment they took action, and even... they actually moved faster.
!
Xia Qingyao's Wenqing Knife blocked Hu Weihai's Yanyue Knife. The broad long knife collided with the slender Demon Knife. Hu Weihai could feel his hand retreating towards the periphery.
‘What a powerful force!’
While he was amazed that Xia Qingyao, a woman, could possess such powerful power, he turned sideways, giving Cao Xiangzhi behind him room to take action.
Cao Xiangzhi held an ax in his hand and slashed towards Xia Qingyao. At the same time, he controlled another flying ax with his other hand to strike behind the opponent!
It doesn’t matter if Xia Qingyao moves quickly, the worst they can do is eliminate her first!
Zheng!!
The sword chanted and the moment Cao Xiangzhi took action, Lu Qi also reacted. She held the sword in one hand to block the opponent's hand axe, and slapped her behind with the other hand.
Maple!!
Spiritual power surged out like a tide, gathering into a spiritual shield in mid-air, firmly guarding Xia Qingyao's back!
Bang!!
The sound echoed, and in the first round, no one took any advantage!
