Chapter 7 The Battle of Talent
Seeing that the other party dared to stab the flying sword at him, Xu Yan's face was gloomy, but he was not surprised.
In the Lotus Sect, the disciples of the Chunzi Sect have been strong for a long time and have already surpassed the other three sects to become the core main force of the sect. In addition, three years ago, they obtained disciples with excellent talents and excellent roots like Zhou Xian, and will undoubtedly continue to be strong for a long time in the future.
Zhou Xian is the most proud disciple in the Spring Sect. Not only is he second only to Xu Yan in terms of talent, but his own strength is also quite strong. Before joining the Lotus Sect, he was already a real second-story sword cultivator, and it was only a slight difference from the three-story. It can be said that he was the top-notch person, and undoubtedly became the key training target of the sect.
Now, as he upgraded his strength to the peak of the lower three realms, his identity has also risen with the rise, and he can basically be on par with ordinary elders in the sect. On weekdays, as long as it is not violated by some "too excessive" sect rules, he can even enjoy the truly senior elders in the sect and turn a blind eye to him.
As a result, Zhou Xian was undoubtedly rampant and arrogant in the sect with all the special treatments he could enjoy. He even often took other disciples under his sect to do some dirty things such as bullying men and women and bullying others with his power.
For example, not long ago, he beat an inner disciple of the Qiuzi Sect to seriously injured, and the injury almost endangered the other party's foundation of cultivation. However, this bad incident, which was originally expelled from the master according to the rules of the sect, became a normal martial arts exchange among the sect disciples under the deliberate protection of the elders of the Chunzi Sect.
It is obvious that it is precisely because of the protections that Zhou Xian dared to act so unscrupulously that he dared to take his disciples to the main peak with his many disciples to make great efforts to find Xu Yan's trouble. You should know that the punishment faced by fighting on the main peak is doubled. Not only will the person who is provoking trouble be expelled from the master's sect, but his cultivation will also be destroyed.
But even so, Zhou Xian still firmly believed that as he is now, as long as he does not kill or traumatize the other party, he will never be punished by the sect. Moreover, when he learned that his brother's accidental death caused him to lose control of his emotions, it is reasonable to see such a thing.
Zhou Xian is not a fool, so he naturally had some concerns about it in his mind before acting.
However, the most unfortunate one is Zhou Mi, who was nominally his cousin, but the two had no blood relationship. Because he would never have expected that he would try his best to get rid of Xu Yan for his cousin. The plan to win "Fuyao" was not only not implemented successfully, but he accidentally lost his life. What's even more sad is that he did not get any sympathy from his cousin from beginning to end.
Zhou Xian went to Xu Yan to trouble this time, of course, not to avenge Zhou Mi. For him, the latter was just the orphan left by his father's righteous brother who was formed by his son when he was young. With his noble status, he was already quite condescending to be able to call him cousin. Moreover, the Zhou family gave him his surname to provide him with food and clothing and sent him to practice in the Lotus Sect. The kindness he deserved had long been paid back.
On the contrary, Zhou Mi originally vowed to help him get rid of Xu Yan and seize Fu Yao, but he was useless. Not only did he fail to plan, but he also exposed Zhou Xian's plan too early. Therefore, Zhou Xian naturally would not have any sympathy for Zhou Mi's death, and even brought Xu Xu's anger to it.
He hated Zhou Mi for being exaggerated and incompetent, and eventually forced himself to kiss the main peak.
But after reaching the main peak, Zhou Xian always felt a little uneasy along the way, but he couldn't explain the specific reason. Although he had long relied on this matter, he did not dare to make too many moves, such as killing Xu Yan or crippling them, but this did not prevent him from letting the other party spend the next few months on the bed.
Zhou Xian knew very well that as long as he could let the other party lie for a few months, the other party would have to wait for another twenty years if he wanted to attend the "Six Sects Conference" held in the next dynasty. And once he lost this great opportunity in front of him, the latter's status in the Lotus Sect may plummet.
...
Xu Yan didn't know that the other party would put so many bad thoughts on him, but the flying sword called "Red Candle" was approaching his chest at this moment, but he was not panicked at all, because when he walked out of the room, he was ready to face the enemy at any time.
A clanging sound!
A splash of gorgeous Mars flashed in the air.
Fu Yao and Hongzhu collided suddenly in the air and then bounced away from each other.
The two flying swords circled in the air like a sanity at the next moment before flying back to their master.
Zhou Xian saw that his sword was fruitless and his face became even more gloomy. He immediately pinched the sword technique again, and continued to spit out a word from his mouth, "Wind!"
So, the red candle in front of him flashed like a wind, flashing in the air and continued to stab Xu Yan's chest.
Facing the opponent's successive attacks of flying swords, Xu Yan was also angry, but he did not dare to be careless. Obviously, the disciple of the Chunzi Sect who was extremely talented was highly expected by the sect, otherwise he would not have been taught sword control skills at the lower three realms. After all, for most sword cultivators in the world, they really had to pass the middle three realms to defeat the enemy. This was not just a matter of talent, but also included having a suitable sword technique, a suitable flying sword, and an excellent bone that could sense the flying sword.
It can be said that if you want to practice sword control in the lower three realms, you must have very strict conditions.
However, Xu Yan did not know that although Zhou Xian was inferior to him, he was also a rare "earth spirit root" physique. Moreover, this physique is like the "celestial spirit root", which is rare and rare seeds of sword cultivator.
Therefore, the confrontation between Zhou Xian and Xu Yan at this moment is not so much a confrontation between sword control techniques, but rather a talented battle between the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. They did not know that after each showed their strong background, they had already attracted the group of disciples of the Chunzi Sect who could only fight with swords behind them, and their eyes were full of jealousy.
For them, it would be fine if the powerful Zhou Xian in front of them. He was at least an inner disciple of the Chunzi Sect. But what they couldn't accept was that the personal disciple who had been circulating three years ago was able to compete with Zhou Xian, who had at least twice as long as he practiced, and he was not at a disadvantage.
It's really a terrifying person.
However, while many disciples of the Chunzi Sect were still immersed in their own jealousy and enviousness, the red candle driven by the Fengzi Sect had approached Xu Yan again.
The speed of this sword was significantly improved compared to before. Zhou Xian looked at the red candle that was only left like a shadow in the air, and he sneered in his heart. He didn't believe that the four-character sword technique he was most familiar with, and the other party could take it all. Although the Fengzi Jue was too pursuing the advantage of speed, its power was more than one step worse than the Jizi Jue, as long as it could hurt the other party, the weak body of the opponent as a sword cultivator would be seriously injured by the flying sword.
But just when Zhou Xian was confident that Xu Yan would be stabbed by Hongzhu, the latter held Fu Yao in his hand and directly blocked the chest with his not-wide sword body. At the last moment, he directly blocked Hongzhu's extremely sharp sword tail.
A slight sound of "nail" came from the patio!
In Zhou Xian's unquestionable eyes, Hongzhu stopped responding!
Then, Zhou Xian's eyes were full of anger, but his face also had a little more solemnity. It was obvious that the genius disciple in front of him could take his two moves in a row, which was not a lucky chance. After all, he was not Zhou Mi. He was only the last floor of window paper away from the fourth floor of the Middle Three Realm, and he could break through at any time. Using his peak realm of the third floor, he should undoubtedly crush the opponent on the second floor, but the opponent made him return twice in succession.
So, Zhou Xian was really angry at this moment, and even his eyes also curled the contempt he had originally had.
The invisible sword intent suddenly burst out on him, replacing the repeated traces surrounding him. The sword intent seemed extremely solid and majestic. Zhou Xian took a deep breath, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his eyes.
After two breaths, Zhou Xian continued to spit out a word from his mouth, "Suddenly!"
As soon as the word "sudden" came out, the red candle in the air completely disappeared. Immediately afterwards, a lightning flashed in the courtyard, emitting a dazzling silver light, slashing straight towards Xu Yan's head.
Faced with this bizarre and powerful sword, Xu Yan finally felt a sense of crisis in his heart. Obviously, the opponent's absolute advantage in realm finally brought him a sense of unfundable gap. This is also the reason why he has been passively beaten since the battle, but is unable to fight back.
Xu Yan did not dare to hide his weakness anymore, so he immediately gave his all. He held Fu Yao in his hand and slashed with anger. The power that was originally used reasonably also poured out like a tide. He instantly turned into a red candle above his head and slashed out with great force!
The next moment, an extremely dazzling light burst out from the sky, but then Xu Yan's figure suddenly flew back and directly hit a pillar in the patio, shaking a pile of broken wood.
A bang!
After Xu Yan's body collided with the corridor column, it made a solid sound of impact. Xu Yan's right hand holding the sword in one hand kept trembling. Without looking at him, he knew that his tiger's mouth must be full of skin and flesh.
The blood immediately flowed down the river, dyeing the Fuyao, which was originally a cold light, made it particularly charming. This was the first time since Fuyao recognized the Lord, it had been stained with the blood of his master.
Xu Yan's face was pale, and there were also slight blood stains on the corners of his mouth, but it was quickly wiped out by him.
Obviously, Zhou Xian's sword really hurt him, and it was not a minor injury. If it weren't for his physical condition, he had changed a lot compared to the past, and he might even be injured by the other party.
However, the strangest thing is that the other party's sword is not all about huge force. It is because of the flying sword that transforms into lightning, which contains a mysterious thunder and lightning power. This thunder and lightning power directly enters his body, trying to destroy the Qi Mansion and acupoints in his body. This is tantamount to destroying his foundation of practice.
