For Gu Daoren, this half-life shadow comes from Sword Valley.
More than thirty years ago, when the previous headmaster was still in office, although Sword Valley was already a powerful force in the Western Region, it was still rarely known in the Tang Dynasty.
The former Taoist Gu had a high level of cultivation, but his temperament was completely opposite to that of the current Taoist Gu.
Today's Taoist Gu is low-key and restrained, but the former headmaster Gu has a free and bold temperament, and is very happy with his achievements. He is an outlier among the past heads of Bashan.
The previous headmaster was extremely talented and brilliant, and finally reached the eighth level. He was the strongest person among all the headmasters in Bashan. The "Nine Swords of Bashan Phoenix Dance" created by him was even more peerless swordsmanship.
When he was still in the seventh level, Master Gu challenged all the major sword sects with his sword skills and defeated the thirteen strongest swordsmen in the world in a row, making Bashan famous in the world.
It's just that Bashan Fengwu's swordsmanship was too sharp and ruthless. Nine of the thirteen swordsmen who were defeated were injured by the sword and were disabled for life.
The former head coach didn't take this seriously, and even thought it was a talking point that could shock the world.
That is to say, in the year when he defeated the Thirteenth Swordsman, Sword Valley Linghu Changle went to Bashan alone to persuade the master of Bashan to relearn the way of swordsmanship.
Swordsmanship is the king's way, and swordsmanship is a competition. You should not leave your opponent disabled for life. If you keep practicing swordsmanship with this intention, you will eventually go down the wrong path.
The former headmaster didn't know Linghu Changle's skill at that time, so he only regarded the other party's persuasion as an accusation. The former headmaster who was at his peak was arrogant and could not tolerate being criticized, so he proposed a sword competition. If Linghu Changle
If we can win, Bashan Fengwu Nine Swords will no longer be visible in the world.
The Sword God finally agreed to the opponent's challenge. The moment the former master drew his sword, he sealed the former master's lower dantian with an inner sword.
A three-year letter!
Within three years, the former headmaster's lower dantian was unable to gather Qi, and the seventh-level realm was in name only.
This scene was seen by many Bashan disciples who were watching the battle at that time, and the current Gu Daoren, who was still young at that time, also witnessed it with his own eyes, and the inner sword energy that sealed the previous headmaster for three years became a lingering thought in Gu Daoren's mind.
nightmare.
Since then, the Bashan Phoenix Dance Nine Swords has been discontinued. During those three years, the former headmaster was in a state of despair, like a ghost shackled.
Everyone on Bashan Mountain knew that the reason why the high-spirited headmaster turned into a soulless ghost overnight was all because of that sword energy.
From then on, everyone on Bashan was angry and afraid of Jiangu. After Jiangu became the holy land for swordsmen in the world, Bashan's fear of Jiangu was engraved in his bones.
Although many years later, the former headmaster received a letter from the Sword God, he was inspired again, and even reached the eighth level, but he has been unable to break into the ninth level grandmaster level since then. More than ten years ago, after that battle, he has never been able to break into the ninth level.
The former headmaster who came out of the mountain died in depression.
Gu Daoren does not know what was written in that letter, but he does know that the Sword God used a sword energy to depress the former headmaster, but then used a letter to cheer up the former headmaster. The former headmaster spent his whole life
, was greatly influenced by the great master of Sword Valley.
Although he didn't know the content of the letter, his former headmaster practiced hard for the rest of his life, so he could guess a little bit about the content of the letter.
Perhaps the purpose of the former headmaster's hard training was to hope for another battle with the Sword God.
In any case, Gu Daoren was deeply influenced by his predecessor's life. The sword energy that changed his predecessor's second half of his life has become an existence that makes Gu Daoren shudder even when he thinks about it. Even today, you are the Master of Bashan.
Teaching, that was still a nightmare he couldn't get rid of.
At this moment, Qin Xiao's sword energy hit him, and the shock to Gu Daoren's heart was simply unparalleled.
He forgot to attack for a moment, but Qin Xiao found this opportunity, no longer hesitated, and fired another sword energy from Shaochong point. Gu Daoren looked at the seemingly invisible sword energy coming towards him, his heart was horrified, and he hurriedly
He dodged, but he just thought in his heart: "He is from Sword Valley, he is from Sword Valley...!"
Abbot Guangyuan also saw it clearly. When he saw Qin Xiao poking his fingers and shooting at Daoist Gu one after another, he was shocked. He opened his eyes wide and murmured: "Sword Valley, he...
..He is from Sword Valley!”
He spoke very softly, but there were several monks around him who could hear him clearly.
In today's world, there are two holy places, one in the east and one in the west, which are known to the world.
Dongji Tianzhai, Western Sword Valley!
This is an existence that makes all factions in the world change their minds when they hear about it.
Dao Zun is dead, Tianzhai is weak and has fallen into a desperate situation, but Sword Valley is still there!
Compared with Tianzhai on Penglai Island, Sword Valley far away from the pass is even more mysterious in the hearts of people in the Tang Dynasty.
Several monks were confused when they heard the abbot mentioning Sword Valley, but when they saw the abbot staring at the field and suddenly realizing something, they were all shocked.
After Qin Xiao appeared, he had been wearing a mask. No one knew where Qin Xiao came from, and they were confused. However, after hearing the abbot's murmur, several monks understood that the masked man in front of them was actually a disciple of Sword Valley.
, this is really beyond everyone’s expectation.
Sword Valley is far outside the Kunlun Pass, and has almost never been involved in the disputes in the Central Plains martial arts. Who would have thought that the disciples of Sword Valley who were thousands of miles away would actually appear on Penglai Island.
The Sword God is naturally famous all over the world, and the name of the Six Jue of Sword Valley is also spread in the Tang Dynasty. Few people know how deep the cultivation of the Six Jue of Sword Valley is, but everyone knows that since he is a disciple of Sword Valley, his strength must be
It cannot be underestimated.
When Xiahou ascended the throne, Ziyi Jian, under the instruction of the Xiahou family, gathered hundreds of martial arts masters from the Central Plains to go out of Kunlun Pass to fight against Sword Valley, but they came back defeated and suffered heavy casualties. Since then, the world has become more hostile to Sword Valley.
Awe-inspiring.
Although there are rumors in the world that the Sword God is no longer alive, the Six Jue of Sword Valley are still in charge of Sword Valley, and it is rumored that there are hundreds of sword masters in Sword Valley. Their strength is unrivaled by other sects in the world.
Several monks learned that the masked man might be a disciple of Jiangu, and they suddenly realized. No wonder Gongyang He was easily defeated by that man. Since the other party was a disciple of Jiangu, it was natural that Gongyang He lost.
.
When Suzaku saw the scene, his original solemn expression gradually relaxed.
She naturally understood that although Taoist Gu injured Qin Xiao and put Qin Xiao into a desperate situation, in this moment, the situation suddenly changed and Qin Xiao had turned from defense to offense, and the sword energy in his inner sword flowed freely and continuously.
, Gu Daoren, who had previously attacked sharply, could only block with his sword. The sound of "ding, ding, ding" was endless, which was the sound made by the sword energy striking the blood-glow sword body.
This blood glow is worthy of being the sword of Bashan's masters in the past. It is full of toughness. Although it was hit repeatedly by the inner sword, it did not break. Its material is naturally extraordinary.
It was just Qin Xiao's luck that his whole body was filled with energy, but the blood from the wound was flowing out.
But at this moment, he couldn't care about that. He knew that Gu Daoren's sword skills were fast and sharp and would never give him any chance to counterattack, so he kept his sword energy intact.
Fortunately, he has now reached the Great Heaven Realm, and his energy circulates continuously, so he doesn't have to worry about the rapid depletion of his internal energy.
It's just that he didn't care about the people's panic at this time.
Gu Daoren has a bone-deep fear of Sword Valley. Bashan has kept a low profile for decades. Although part of the reason is because of Tao Zun, the bigger reason is because of the nightmare of Sword Valley.
In Gu Daoren's view, even if the Sword God dies, the inner sword kung fu will definitely still be passed down in Sword Valley. The disciples of Sword Valley who have mastered the inner sword will be enough to restrain Bashan.
The Sword God defeated the enemy with one move and defeated the previous headmaster with just one inner sword sword energy. This shows the terror of the inner sword.
This is like a person who has seen a scary scene and has a shadow in his heart. Whenever he encounters the same situation afterwards, the fear in his heart will naturally arise. That fear is engraved in his bones and will never go away.
Every time Qin Xiao's sword energy hit him, Gu Daoren's heart trembled. He couldn't even think of launching an attack. He just tried his best to resist, but his whole body was already breaking out in cold sweat.
Since he believed that Qin Xiao was a disciple of Jiangu, he did not dare to have any murderous intention towards Qin Xiao.
If one of the disciples of Sword Valley is killed and Sword Valley is angered, and Sword Valley comes out in force, the Bashan Sword Sect may completely disappear from the world.
There were many distracting thoughts in his mind, and he suddenly heard a "click" sound, but another sword energy from Qin Xiao came towards him. Daoren Gu swung his sword to block, and this time the sword energy finally broke the Xue Mang Sword.
Gu Daoren held half of the sword in his hand and was stunned for a moment, but the sword energy came suddenly. In panic, he waved half of the sword to block it. With a "ding" sound, he blocked the opponent's sword energy again, but then he heard two "puff" sounds.
, and then he felt a stabbing pain in the Yunmen point on his right shoulder and the Zhongfu point on his arm. His entire right arm instantly lost consciousness, and half of the sword in his hand had already flown away.
When Gu Daoren's long sword broke, everyone around him saw it and exclaimed. They really couldn't understand how Qin Xiao was able to break Master Bashan's sword into two pieces with his bare hands, leaving nothing left in Gu Daoren's hand.
The lower half of the sword was released, and there was another burst of exclamations from all around.
Gu Daoren did not expect that Qin Xiao would turn into three swords at this moment, Shao Chong, Guan Chong and Shang Yang.
When he saw the Sword God sealing his Dantian with his sword, and Qin Xiao fired more than ten sword qi in a row, he thought that the inner sword was just a single sword, so he didn't expect that the inner sword could also fire three sword qi at the same time.
The bloody sword broke, and he was shocked. In a panic, when he saw the sword energy coming, he reflexively raised his sword to block one of the sword energy, but unexpectedly there were two sword energy following him. If he thought about it, his reaction was already
It was too late, and the two sword energy directly hit the Yunmen and Zhongfu acupoints.
The power of this true sword is more lethal than a sharp sword that cuts iron like clay. The two sword energy penetrated directly into these two acupuncture points with a sharp blade, cutting off the meridians of the right shoulder, instantly
As a result, Gu Daoren's entire right arm was disabled.
Xue Mang lost his hand and his right arm was disabled. Qin Xiao knew that the overall situation was decided, but he did not stop. He still continued to draw his sword again. However, Gu Daoren was like a wooden stake at this moment, without making any reaction. He felt that several acupuncture points on his limbs were being blocked.
The sword energy was sealed, and the acupuncture points on both knees were also hit by the sword energy. His legs softened and he knelt down involuntarily.
Qin Xiao raised his right arm and stretched out three fingers. At this time, he could easily take away Gu Daoren's life by drawing out his sword again. However, he slowly lowered his arm and did not use any more assassins.
But he was a little strange in his heart. After he fired his first inner sword, Gu Daoren seemed to have suddenly lost his mind and was frightened. Logically speaking, with Gu Daoren's skill and swordsmanship, he would never be unable to fight back.
, but in fact, Gu Daoren seemed to have lost his soul, only struggling to his death, and he was completely different from when he first took action.
Naturally, he didn't know that the moment he fired his first sword energy, Gu Daoren was already haunted by nightmares. Otherwise, even if he fired his inner sword, he might not be able to defeat Gu Daoren so easily.
What really defeated Gu Daoren was his own inner demon.
The place fell silent for a moment, dead silent.
Everyone saw the Bloody Sword falling to the ground in two pieces. The dignified Master Bashan and the first swordsman of the Tang Dynasty, Gu Daoren, knelt in front of Qin Xiao, lowered his head, and even his bun was scattered.
Shaped like a beggar.
No one would have thought that the fate of Taoist Gu would be much worse than that of Headmaster Gongyang of the Sun Moon Alliance.
"Headmaster!" The disciples of Bashan were horrified when they saw this, and several of them wanted to rush forward. However, Qin Xiao suddenly raised his arm again and said sternly: "Whoever dares to come forward, take his life immediately!"
The disciples of Bashan were all shocked and did not dare to step forward.
Qin Xiao is only three steps away from Gu Daoren. Although most people still don't know how Gu Daoren was defeated, Qin Xiao was able to break the Bashan sword into two pieces and now wanted to kill Gu Daoren who was kneeling on the ground and seemed to have lost his mind.
As a Taoist, that is naturally even easier.
"Amitabha!" Abbot Guangyuan shouted the Buddha's name and said to Qin Xiao: "Donor, the winner has been decided, why not let Master Gu heal his wounds quickly? Why commit the crime of killing?"
The wounds on Qin Xiao's right rib and arm were already dripping with blood, staining his clothes red. Seeing that the winner was decided, Suzaku, without caring about anything else, immediately ordered: "Junior Brother Shangfu, hurry up and get medicine to stop the bleeding and heal his injuries!"
She wanted to go forward by herself, but she was a woman after all. If she healed Qin Xiao with her own hands in front of everyone, it would be nice or not. She was the first disciple of Tianzhai, so even if she was worried about Qin Xiao, she had to take Tianzhai's reputation into consideration.
Seeing that Taoist Gu was hanging his head and not moving, Qin Xiao was in despair, and since he had sealed the acupuncture points on his limbs, he was unable to fight back. Then he turned to Abbot Guangyuan and said word by word: "Abbott, everyone is in danger soon.
Do you know?"
Everyone was startled and looked at each other in surprise. They didn't know what Qin Xiao meant by "a catastrophe is approaching".
Abbot Guangyuan also clasped his hands and said: "May I ask the donor, what do you mean when you say a catastrophe is coming? Where does the disaster come from?"
At this time, Tianzhai disciple Shang Fu had already taken the wound medicine and came forward, respectfully saying: "I will apply the wound medicine for you!"
Qin Xiao originally didn't have a good impression of the disciples of Tianzhai. No matter Chongmingniao or Golden Crow, including Bi Fang, who was once captured by him as a prisoner, they were all weaklings. However, today he discovered that this group of disciples on the island was different. This kind of payment was not greedy.
He was afraid of death and led the disciples of Tianzhai in a bloody battle to the end. He was considered a good man. Seeing that his wounds were bandaged, he nodded slightly and said, "Thank you!" He stretched out his right arm and let Shangfu apply the medicine on his wounds.
