Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1328 Gathering Qi into a Blade
  Faced with Meng Tian's toughness, Gai Nie stopped trying to persuade him, his eyes sank slightly, and finally said, "It's a pity..."

After the words fell, the invisible and colorless sword energy spread quietly on the wooden sword. Meng Tian couldn't see it, but he could feel it, and felt the biting coldness that made his whole body tremble.

This was the killing intent of the Sword Master, but it was more than just killing intent, so much so that even Meng Tian, ​​who had been on the battlefield for decades, was trembling with fear.

However, this is just a stress response caused by physical stimulation, and is not controlled by Mengtian's subjective will. His current state of mind is actually good, and he can still laugh at this time:
  "Sir wants to kill me... I'm afraid it's not that simple."

As Meng Tian's words fell, Gai Nie suddenly raised his head and looked forward. At the same moment, a powerful infuriating energy suddenly burst out in front of him.

The scorching blue Qi was like a ghost fire from the underworld, giving almost no reaction time, and appeared in an instant less than an arm's length in front of Gai Nie.

Such an urgent attack still did not cause any emotional ups and downs in Gai Nie. He blocked with a backhand calmly and indifferently. After a few wild swings, the dark yellow wooden sword flashed in the air in a dazzling trajectory, blocking it with ease. All the anger was gone.

However, this blue infuriating energy is very sticky. Although most of it was directly scattered, a small part was still attached to the fragile wooden sword.

It seemed that the zhenqi was floating like a flame. In fact, it did not burn Gai Nie's wooden sword, but it did damage this ordinary wooden sword.

At this time, Gai Nie did not care about protecting his new weapon, and his eyes quickly turned to one side, only to see Meng Tian behind him not accurately seizing the opportunity, and taking advantage of the situation, he slashed at him with his sword.

This sword poses no threat to Ganie, but he does have to give in.

Gai Nie tapped his foot lightly, dodged Meng Tian's attack with a back flip, passed him again, and then stepped on the horse's head without stopping for a moment, using the force to fly backwards.

The moment Gai Nie retreated, a short figure emerged from the army. The five fingers of his right hand were pressed together in front of his chest. The rich zhenqi condensed in his palm, turning into a deep purple zhenqi straight sword. , wide at the bottom and wide at the top, like an elongated triangular pyramid. The whole thing looks illusory and hazy, with its specific shape erratic, like air or mist.

It is one of the most powerful and profound Yin-Yang techniques of the Yin-Yang family - gathering energy to form a blade!
  The identity of this short figure is naturally obvious. Among the two guardians, five elders and seven masters of the Yin and Yang family (there are indeed only five elders, one is vacant and one is double yellow), only one is good at the art of gathering energy to form a blade. Then Even the Zuo Protector Star Soul - he is the only one so short.

In fact, the characteristic of being taller is more recognizable.

I don't know whether it was because he was too short, weighed less, had less inertia, or because the Yin Yang family's Qinggong was relatively strong. Xinghun easily caught up with Gai Nie who was retreating. After getting close, he passed the air blade in his hand forward. .

Gai Nie easily deflected Xinghun's attack, but he couldn't close the distance between the two sides, and he got closer.

After the two sides exchanged several moves, Xinghun didn't take advantage of him at all, but the two of them were almost fighting hand-to-hand.

And this is exactly what Star Soul wants.

Gathering Qi to form a blade, Xinghun always said that he used sword skills, but in fact, in his hands, the sword he used was closer to a short weapon that was one inch shorter and one inch dangerous.

Of course, if the enemy's strength is inferior to him, he can do anything and don't have to be rigid about how to use it. But Gai Nie's strength... Although Xinghun is very conceited, he is not so conceited as to look down on the best swordsman in the world.

After getting close, the length of the wooden sword in Gai Nie's hand was fixed. He could only use exquisite swordsmanship to defend against and resolve attacks that were too close. However, the air blade in Xinghun's hand was gathered and dispersed by the heart. It rose when he thought about it, and scattered when he thought about it. It's up to him to decide whether he's strong or weak. With a flick of his hand, the blue air blade can attack Gai Nie from any undefeable corner.

In this case, even Gai Nie can only do anything, and can only dodge first.

The two of them were in mid-air, moving and entangled within a few inches.

It was clearly visible that the blue-purple true energy of Star Soul was flowing around the two of them. As his thoughts flew and flowed, one second the energy gathered into a blade, and the next moment it dispersed and turned into energy.

During this process, Gai Nie kept flying up and down, leaning to the left and right, bending down or turning sideways, mostly dodging.

This kind of close combat is often faster and more dangerous.

In just over ten breaths, the two had fought for no less than ten rounds. The whole process could be said to be full of dangers, especially for Gai Nie, who seemed to be in danger of capsizing at any time.

Fortunately, it only looks like it.

This close sword fight ended with the two of them exchanging sword blows, and Gai Nie took advantage of the situation to pull away and retreat.

The star soul was light and floating, slowly and calmly falling from the air.

After landing, Gai Nie glanced at the zhenqi stained on the sword, but still didn't rush to clean it up.

Opposite him, Xinghun didn't intend to stop just yet.

In the previous confrontation, overall he had the upper hand, which made the already pretentious Zuo Guardian of the Yin Yang Family even more confident.

"Ah!"

Following Xinghun's disdainful sneer, his left and right hands were simultaneously covered with thick blue Qi. The Qi moved freely and turned into two Qi blades in the blink of an eye. Then he immediately stepped forward and rushed towards Gai Nie. .

Gai Nie waved his wooden sword and faced him bravely without any intention of giving in.

This time, it was a real swordsmanship showdown, with Xinghun's double swords facing off against Gai Nie's single sword.

The speed of their moves was so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to recognize it. In addition, the star soul had its own light pollution. Even if Meng Tian looked at it from a distance, he could only see a messy blue-purple light and shadow.

Three weapons that were constantly clashing, two air blades, and a wooden sword, which did not contain any metal elements, still produced a large clanking sound of gold and iron, as if there was a group of armed mobs fighting. .

This time, Ganie, who was not in an inconvenient position in the air to exert force, gave Star Soul no chance to get close. The two sides always maintained a normal fighting distance and could only openly compete with their abilities.

Gai Nie used simple and unpretentious swordsmanship throughout the whole process, not even the slightest bit of sword energy leaked out. He only wrapped the wooden sword with layers of true energy and launched the attack calmly and sharply.

Although Xinghun can no longer engage in "short-hand combat" with Gai Nie, he still has tricks. The air blade in his palm is sometimes long and sometimes short, sometimes a sword and sometimes a knife. Sometimes it looks like an ordinary sword, and sometimes it turns into a curved weapon several meters long. Use a broadsword to attack from a distance.

As expected, Xinghun quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Although he was the one who took the initiative to attack, after just a few moves, he lost almost all the initiative and could only passively deal with Gai Nie's offensive.

During this period, he also tried to distance himself, using his infuriating sword that could be stretched to several feet in length to ease the situation, but unfortunately it only delayed one and a half moves, which was meaningless.

In the end, Gai Nie executed four consecutive attacks without leaving any chance to breathe, and was lifted high into the air, causing his body to become unbalanced.

Of course, he himself would not use the situation that Ganie worked so hard to create.

Following closely behind him, he accurately calculated where Star Soul would land, and it was a straight thrust that would never return.

Xinghun used the force to flip back in mid-air and reorganized his posture. Naturally, he caught a glimpse of Gai Nie's move and was prepared in advance.

Gai Nie's calculation was spot on. Just before the star soul was about to touch the ground, the tip of the wooden sword pierced the opponent's abdomen.

Xinghun's preparation was just right. He gathered Qi with both hands in his belly, and blocked Gai Nie's wooden sword with his tyrannical Qi.

If he were facing the famous sword Yuan Hong, this operation would most likely only prevent him from being stabbed directly, but what Gai Nie is holding now is just a blunt wooden sword without an edge. , just blocking it with true energy is enough.

Xinghun, whose feet had not really touched the ground, was inevitably pushed back all the way by Gai Nie's force. After more than ten consecutive steps, he finally managed to stop his decline, and the two sides entered a state of wrestling.

Gai Nie had no intention of competing with him like this, so he changed his thrust into teasing, directly lifting Xinghun and flipping him backwards.

However, at this moment, Xinghun, who was standing upside down, counterattacked with a backhand sword, temporarily forcing Gai Nie back a few steps and giving himself a chance to breathe when he landed on the ground.

After he landed and stood still, Gai Nie's sword struck him again, carrying an unstoppable forward momentum. The distance of ten steps was instantly crossed, and the edge of the wooden sword went straight towards the star soul from bottom to top. Come to the door.

He had expected it, and he calmly raised his hand to gather Qi and condense the blades, crossed them into a cross, and blocked the wooden sword from top to bottom. The power of this sword was no less than the previous four consecutive strikes. Star Soul was knocked away again, and the whole person was thrown high in the air.

But this time, he was already prepared. His body was not messed up, and he adjusted his posture in the air. His Dantian was filled with Qi, his hands were united, and he rotated forward to accumulate strength. All the Qi in his body surged and gathered in his palms, turning into a handful. The exaggeratedly large solid blade struck Gai Nie fiercely from top to bottom.

Seeing this, Gai Nie raised his sword with his backhand, placed it on his shoulder, and caught the sword head on.

After the two sides wrestled for several breaths, it finally ended with Xinghun being forced back by Gai Nie.

After this move, Xinghun was pushed back to the front of the army, while Gai Nie stood on the spot, holding his sword and facing the enemies coldly, but the wooden sword was stained with more true energy, almost the entire blade.

Xinghun had a sarcastic smile on his lips. He raised his hand in a leisurely manner to dissipate the energy in his palm, and put his hand behind his back in an old-fashioned manner.

Seeing this, Gai Nie casually wiped away the zhenqi stained on the sword.

It looked like the two of them had given up.

In other words, Xinghun did not intend to fight, but Gai Nie was not keen on taking the initiative.

"From the perspective of a sword master, is such swordsmanship acceptable?" Xinghun asked Gai Nie with a smile.

This sounds like he is being taken advantage of, and he is still so arrogant even though he is at a disadvantage. However, with Xinghun's age and Gai Nie's strong character, he has achieved such a record. It is reasonable and reasonable for him to be proud, and no one can fault him. .

After all, he was only at a disadvantage and did not show signs of defeat. The battle did not clearly favor Ge Nie.

"..." Regarding this question, Gai Nie was silent for a moment.

If Gu Xun were present, he might answer directly like this:

From the perspective of a sword master, your swordsmanship just now is not called swordsmanship!

To say you are unsightly is to beautify it!
  Do you really have no idea at all?
  Not to mention your strength, just think about how many years you can live!

Wait, wait... words like that.

But Gai Nie is a good old man, and he usually doesn't speak so harshly.

He never hesitates to praise anyone's strength. Specific terms include but are not limited to:

You are the only martial arts wizard I have seen in my life;

I really don’t have the confidence to win, etc…

I’m sure there will be more to come.

Not only in terms of martial arts, sect strength, extraordinary skills, but also in any aspect of outstanding people and things, he did not hesitate to praise him and was very humble.

However, it needs to be emphasized that there are two special people, one is Wei Zhuang, and Gai Nie praises Wei Zhuang, but rarely, because the strength of the two is indeed very close.

The second is Gu Xun. Gai Nie will never praise Gu Xun's strength in any words, because he really can't beat him.

He doesn't judge those who can't be beaten.

When facing Xinghun, he naturally would not displease the other party. After considering his words, he avoided answering the other party's question and said:
  "Fortunately, your energy-gathering blade only has four successes, otherwise Gai may have been seriously injured at this time."

Pay attention to the ingenuity of the language. The word 'possibly' should be emphasized. This fully reflects Gai Nie's rigor - if there is no need to lie, there is still a possibility no matter how low the probability is!

Xinghun was obviously very pleased with what he heard, and the corners of his mouth widened a bit.

Meng Tian was not interested in hearing Xinghun indulge in himself.

He doesn't understand martial arts, but he understands interpersonal communication. He is just polite and polite, but how can he really take it seriously?

Hitting the sword with a wave of his hand, Meng Tian shouted loudly, "The whole army obeys the order! Attack the formation!"

Then he said to Xinghun who was standing in front of him, "Lord Xinghun, leave the rest to the empire's army."

Again, he knows how to interact with people. Although he thinks this kid is a bit too cool, he is after all the senior member of the Yin Yang Family that His Majesty values ​​the most, so his attitude must be in place.

Gai Nie looked at the Golden Fire Cavalry who was about to charge, and immediately retreated without any hesitation. His figure gradually disappeared into the fog, and he left the last sentence:

"I'm waiting for you in the mist."

Facing the retreating Gai Nie, Meng Tian did not rashly order a pursuit. After all, dealing with martial arts masters was different from fighting in battle, so it was better to consult professionals.

"Lord Xinghun, do you think we should pursue Gai Nie?"

Xinghun smiled crookedly, raised his hand and waved, "Don't be impatient yet, wait for the news."

"News?" Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, then thought of some not-so-good possibility, and his face became much uglier.

The fact was exactly as he guessed. Soon a messenger rushed over from behind on horseback:

"General, urgent report!"

"The rebel was kidnapped!"

Meng Tian, ​​who had expected it, did not show any surprise, but his face became more gloomy and he looked at Xinghun:
  "Lord Xinghun, look..."

Xinghun was not too anxious about this. He looked in a certain direction and asked in a confused manner, "Are all the people in the net so incompetent?"

As Xinghun finished speaking, a person flashed out from the side.

It was obviously a piece of flat land without any cover, so I didn’t know how this person had managed to hide himself from others.

Meng Tian looked at the mysterious man who suddenly appeared wearing white clothes, wearing a white mask, and holding a white sword, and asked sternly, "Who are you!?"

The other party calmly cupped his fists and saluted, and replied in a hoarse voice, "Luo Wang is a first-class person, but he is evil. I have met the general."

Xinghun had obviously discovered Quexie's existence a long time ago and continued to question, "Why didn't you stop that person? Don't tell me that Luowang's Tianzi Yiyi can't even stop a thief now."

When Meng Tian heard this, he immediately looked at the Tianzi First Class who had appeared out of nowhere with an unkind look on his face - he really didn't know that Luo Sheng had secretly sent experts.

Of course, the key question now is that the star soul is entangled with Gai Nie. Why didn't you, the first-class person in the world, keep that person alive?
  In the face of doubts, Ke Xie did not show any panic and responded calmly, "My first duty is to protect General Meng's safety, so I did not stay behind."

Xinghun didn't buy this answer and retorted with a sneer, "So what, I'm already here."

Que Xie also didn't buy Xing Hun's argument, and directly shouted back, "The opponent is Sword Master Gai Nie. If Lord Xing Hun comes here alone, he can definitely ensure General Meng's safety?"
