book of troubled times

Chapter 359 The discussion begins

The area around the chamber suddenly became tense, and the guards were sweating all over looking at Zhao Changhe who drew his sword, wondering if they should go up to stop him.

This seems to be completely different in nature from the imaginary door-to-door asking for trouble, it might as well be a discussion.It's like an invitation to fight on the long street in the rivers and lakes. People are looking forward to it. People don't regard it as an offense, and they cherish each other if they fight well.

And this kind of internal invitation to fight is more private than meeting on the long street. He also gave pointers first, made it clear and confirmed each other. This nature is really infinitely close to the sect's internal discussions. None of them flash.

A thought suddenly popped up in Sun Jiaoxi's mind: this guy's showing such a magnanimity, could it be intentional, he just didn't want to replace Xue Jiaozhu's position because of this, and he was afraid of being laughed at by his wife?
Obviously others would not think of this level, at this time Xue Canghai was really touched, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "If Zhao Shaoxia doesn't mind, you and I can compete in the martial arts arena, and let the congregation observe and confirm, Everyone benefits."

Zhao Changhe held the knife handle upside down and cupped his fists: "Master Xue is a good leader."

Xue Canghai shook his head slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Please."

The congregation next to him was anxious, and whispered: "Master, Maitreya envoy..."

Xue Canghai froze for a moment, and almost forgot about it.

But it's not a big problem. The Maitreya envoy will not know what happened outside in the secret cave of the sect. He lowered his voice and ordered: "Go to a few people, and we must stop the envoy from intruding. Remember to be strict with your mouth. Don't say that Zhao Changhe is here."

The congregation looked a little bitter: "Master, we also want to watch the contest."

Xue Canghai couldn't help laughing: "Your little understanding of cultivation and sword skills is useless. If you don't work hard at ordinary times, holding Buddha's feet is useless at this time. Go."

He stretched out his hand to Zhao Changhe again: "Some small things are delayed, please."

Zhao Changhe actually heard the words 'Messenger of Maitreya', but he didn't care, and said politely: "Please."

When he arrived at the Grand Martial Arts Field, Zhao Changhe discovered that the layout of the Beiman Village was basically imitated from here, but this side is bigger. The Martial Arts Field can accommodate at least thousands of people performing martial arts. No matter how you fight here, you won’t be afraid of accidentally injuring the surrounding area. .There are crowds of people outside, and there are more and more onlookers. It feels like there is no end in sight.

Well, judging by the crowd of people around here, at least there is no pit here...

The number of people is probably in the tens of thousands. The Blood God Cult has secretly developed so many people. Is this going to heaven?Where do they get their supplies?Did you hit the granaries in the surrounding counties?

No wonder Maitreya envoys came here. This is a rebel force that has grown into a large scale... But the problem is that their development should be supported by Suzaku. Suzaku himself is a rebel, and organized This kind of manpower is for you to use when the time is right. Do you want to use it for Maitreya?

Think too much...

Zhao Changhe was too lazy to think about it. This feeling of competing in the arena under the eyes of everyone, recalled that it was the first time in his life that he gave it to Master Xue, and it was worth remembering it for so long.

"Choke!" Xue Cang raised his sword out of its sheath, and signaled: "The sword is named Blood God, and it uses...uh..."

He paused for a moment, and said with a broken smile: "At first, I wanted to say that the materials used and the casting of sword intent are the most suitable for the exercises I teach, but Zhao Shaoxia said that before, and this is meaningless. Although I don't agree with Zhao Shaoxia too much. I would like to confirm my understanding to Your Excellency with this saber."

Zhao Changhe also didn't introduce Longque, there's no way to introduce him, he just stood with a knife, quietly looking at the bloody red knife in Xue Canghai's hand.

The spring breeze blew, but the atmosphere was chilled in an instant.

"Whoosh!" The next moment, as if they had made an appointment, the two of them drew out their knives and swept at the same time.

Unlike other martial arts, Xuesha Saber Technique pays attention to "ceremonial moves" such as "green pine welcomes guests", every move is aimed at killing people.

The two of them used the first move of the Blood Fiend Saber Technique at the same time, which was regarded as a starting etiquette.This style is nameless, and it can roughly be regarded as an advanced level of the basic sword technique, which includes more follow-up changes and movement skills than the basic knife technique. The difference between the same style of horizontal chop in each school is implied here. Potential and fortune.

Don't look at Zhao Changhe's moves that he can freely and freely change at will. It seems that he can change as he likes, but in fact there are traces to follow.Its roots lie in the Blood Fiend Saber Technique, and the energy movement method and the inertia of subsequent transfers are all based on the Blood Fiend Saber Technique. Those who are knowledgeable can know that this person's foundation is the Blood Fiend Saber Technique as long as they perform two moves. This reason.

In the same way, the so-called studying someone's sword technique and deciphering it is also the same principle.Because every move of his will definitely follow those kinds of trends. As long as you are prepared, you can completely predict what he will do and get the upper hand.

As for the competition between the same sects, if the practice is still the same, it depends entirely on who has mastered the sword technique better and more proficiently.

In the eyes of everyone, the two swords met.

What puzzled the onlookers most was that it was only the first move, but the moment the two knives met, their eyes turned red at the same time, and blood appeared on the knives at the same time. Xue Canghai's original red knives were as bright as blood, and Zhao Changhe The originally dull broadsword had a dark red light.

"Gods and Buddhas are scattered!" Someone exclaimed in a low voice: "Why don't they move the gods and Buddhas at all, but they have the meaning of both gods and Buddhas?"

"Choke!" Shi Ting's explanation was impossible, the two knives collided heavily, and before the man finished speaking, the two knives flew at the same time, and in an instant, they clashed with more than ten knives.

It was only at this moment that Sun Jiaoxi explained to others: "Their God and Buddha Scattering has long since broken away from the level of using moves. As long as the intention is there, every knife is God and Buddha Scattering."

If Zhao Changhe heard it, he would explain it in more modern terms: The Separation of Gods and Buddhas has become a kind of enchantment, with +20% attack power and special effects of fright.

Its foundation is the use of evil energy. When Xue Canghai was cultivating blood magic skills, he could not do this with every knife attached to the gods and Buddhas, and his combat power was far inferior to what it is now.

And Sun Jiaoxi and other sharp-sighted congregants can also see that Xue Canghai and Zhao Changhe seem to have the same sword intent, but in fact there are subtle differences.

It is exactly the difference that Zhao Changhe said before.

Xue Canghai's gods and Buddhas are all scattered, bloody and vicious, with a deep evil spirit, just looking at it from a distance, it gives people a feeling of frightening fear, those with low cultivation and timidity, even dare not look more, and turn their heads .

Zhao Changhe's God-Buddhist Scattering in the early days was also of this nature, but it was not so bloody. After all, there were not enough kills, but the frightening effect and power explosion were enough, and it helped him reverse the situation many times.

But now Zhao Changhe's sword is slightly different from Xue Canghai's and his own before.

The bloody and ferocious feeling is relatively light, and the blood-colored pupils are not as scary as Xue Canghai. If Xue Canghai is like a bloody demon god slashing furiously, then Zhao Changhe is a bit like... he is not a demon god, but In the battlefield full of corpses and blood, the earth is vast and bloody, and the sky is quiet and starry.

Among the stars, there is a faint eye of a god and Buddha, watching the killing on the battlefield indifferently, people gather like ants, life is like grass, in the eyes of gods and demons, it is just a game.

So the man who was still standing amidst the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood swung his sword towards the sky without slashing at the enemy.

Gods and Buddhas are scattered!

"Bang!" There was an earth-shattering explosion, and everyone in the martial arts field retreated.

Zhao Changhe took three steps back.

Xue Canghai took five steps back, his expression extremely shocked, but thoughtful.

At that moment, he was like a demon god, while Zhao Changhe's gods and Buddhas were all scattered.

What is the meaning of this sword?
