Chapter 204 Drawing the Sword
Not to mention Chu Tang's surprise, even everyone watching the battle was shocked by Xu Lingfeng's surprisingly high light kung fu.
Originally, when they saw Chu Tang's Qing Gong that he could lift his body out of thin air even when all his remaining strength was exhausted, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. They said that this was a Qing Gong that was rare in the world and that no one could match it.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lingfeng was able to catch up with Chu Tang just by using Qinggong. He kept pressing forward step by step with the Nine Heavens Luohe Sword, chasing Chu Tang.
"It is said that Chu Tang is the only one in Liangzhou in Qinggong. He is unparalleled. Now it seems that Xu Lingfeng is not far behind! But I have never heard that Xu Lingfeng is good at Qinggong!"
"Have you seen Xu Lingfeng take action before?"
"No."
"Then how do you know that someone is not good at Qing Gong?"
"Well...actually, you see, Chu Tang's Qinggong and body skills are better. Although he was chased by Xu Lingfeng in a panic, Xu Lingfeng really couldn't catch up."
"It's only a matter of time before we catch up! It's said that Xu Lingfeng is a master of the six realms. How can Chu Tang, who is only in the fifth realm, be able to outlast him?"
"So, Chu Tang's only advantage has been lost? Damn it! I bet a thousand taels on Chu Tang!"
"..."
Tao Ying listened to everyone's discussion, her face was ugly and her heart was worried.
Like everyone else, in her mind, Chu Tang's only advantage was that she was the best in Qinggong in Liangzhou. She never expected that Xu Lingfeng was also good at Qinggong, so in a duel with him, she lost her advantage and opportunity.
"Tang Yue, in your investigation report on Xu Lingfeng, you didn't say that he was brilliant in Qinggong." Tao Ying began to complain about Tang Yue next to her.
Tang Yue's eyes kept flickering back and forth between the two dueling men. Hearing this, he said without looking back: "Xu Lingfeng rarely walks out of Luo Shen Valley, and few people see him take action. It is understandable that the information is incomplete and missing."
Tao Ying was speechless and said: "You can understand this, but it has put Chu Tang in a dilemma. What should we do now?"
Tang Yue turned to look at Tao Ying and said sternly: "Xiaoying, this is a duel to seek military orders. Don't be stupid and interfere easily. Otherwise, if Shen is blamed, I won't be able to protect you. You have to know , The existence of the Yiyi Guards is to protect the royal family, and the order of martial arts is also one of the rules of the royal family!"
Tao Ying snorted and said nothing, just feeling annoyed in her heart——
Careless!
Wrong place too!
It is indeed unexpected that Xu Lingfeng's light skill is so high, but compared to Chu Tang, it is still inferior. Looking at Xu Lingfeng's sword light all over the sky with the Jiutian Luohe Sword, he only pursued Chu Tang in embarrassment and did not succeed.
Chu Tang flew up and down, moved left and right, and was always able to dodge Xu Lingfeng's boundless sword.
Based on this calculation, the top floor of Guanyue Building is not a large platform, which still limits the performance of Chu Tang's Qing Gong.
If it were on a wide flat ground with enough space and plenty of room for jumping and jumping, Chu Tang would not be in such a dilemma as he was now if he had used Qing Gong to the extreme.
Tao Ying also saw that although Xu Lingfeng's sword was fierce, it did not use its power to show off its power.
It is still unknown what the situation of the Jiutian Luohe Sword will look like!
Glancing at the sight of Huang Changfeng watching the battle not far away, Tao Ying was moved in her heart and couldn't help but ask loudly: "Master Huang, it's so hard for you to hide it from us! Is this Xu Lingfeng's Qinggong, which is so high, also the secret skill of Luoshen Valley? "
Huang Changfeng was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Tao Ying, and then looked at the curious faces around him. He couldn't help but smile: "Isn't this the Nine Heavens Luohe Sword? It is indeed one of our Luoshen Valley's secret arts!"
Tao Ying was surprised: "The Nine Heavens Falling River Sword includes Qing Gong?"
Huang Changfeng laughed and said: "Nine Heavens Falling River Sword, as the name suggests, the sword's power is like falling from the Tianhe River. It is originally a sword move from top to bottom! Not to mention that the whole process requires stretching in the air, at least most of it requires superb Qinggong. Driven! It’s just the Sixth Realm. If you understand the force of the Nine Heavens Falling into the River and use this sword technique, it will be a real Heavenly River Falling, majestic and shocking!"
"That's it!" Tao Ying was stunned, her eyes were incomprehensible, and she suddenly thought of the "Flying Fairy" sword technique mentioned by Chu Tang before.
It is also a condescending swordsmanship, like a flying fairy from the sky, it is difficult to resist.
The Nine Heavens Falling River Sword...the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Sky...
Thinking about it this way, it seems a bit similar, but I don't know who is more powerful.
"Chu Tang..." Tao Ying's heartstrings tightened, "Everything can only depend on you."
Their conversation was not only heard clearly by those watching the battle, but also by Chu Tang, who was fighting the decisive battle three or four feet away.
Being as smart as him, he immediately understood that Tao Ying was using Huang Changfeng's explanation to remind him and let him know Xu Lingfeng's martial arts methods.
With gratitude in his heart, Chu Tang also determined his combat strategy - he must fly higher and faster than Xu Lingfeng to avoid falling into a ground war.
The Jiutian Luohe Sword can exert more power when it is at a higher position. Once Chu Tang is on the ground and Xu Lingfeng has control of the air, it will be even worse.
Lingbo Weibu could not rely on him for the time being, so Chu Tang could only try his best to use Tiyunzong and Taxue Wuhen to deal with the opponent in the air.
Whoosh whoosh!
Two figures, one black and one white, were chasing each other in the air.
Hoo ho ho!
Figures passed by, the wind blew loudly, and the afterimages intertwined, making it almost impossible to tell who was who.
After a moment, Xu Lingfeng shouted while chasing: "Chu Tang, can you just hide and hide like a turtle? Can you fight me head-on like a man?!"
Xu Lingfeng was really angry.
From the beginning to now, it was him who took action, and Chu Tang has not made a move yet.
Faced with his fierce pursuit, Xu Lingfeng also found that Chu Tang seemed to be dodging in the direction of the crowd of spectators intentionally or unintentionally, forcing him to restrain his strength sometimes, otherwise the sword might be drawn from the crowd. pass.
This made Xu Lingfeng very frustrated!
Chu Tang was in the air, laughing loudly: "Why don't you stop and stand and receive my sword-drawing technique?"
Having lost the opportunity, he could only stimulate Xu Lingfeng like this.
The Jiutian Luohe Sword is indeed powerful. Its attack surface is too wide. Once it seizes the upper hand, it will envelope everyone in the sword's aura, making it impossible for people to face it directly.
Facing Xu Lingfeng's large sword light, Chu Tang thought of the Cheng family's four-image battle formation.
The four-elephant battle formation of four people joined forces, and after tacit understanding, they attacked one after another, which was dizzying.
Xu Lingfeng's Nine Heavens Falling River Sword also has a similar attack.
In other words, Xu Lingfeng was able to fight off a formation of four people by himself. This shows how powerful the Nine Heavens Falling River Sword is!
After experiencing the elegance of this swordsmanship, Chu Tang felt a little regretful. He really shouldn't have given up the opportunity.
I thought that since I had great light skills and fast swordsmanship, I would have a chance to get back even if I lost the initiative. However, after taking action, I discovered that Xu Lingfeng's light skills were not good and his swordsmanship was amazing, so he lost the chance to make a move.
"Okay, it's up to you!" Xu Lingfeng responded suddenly, then stopped and fell to the ground, waiting for Chu Tang.
"Huh?" Chu Tang was stunned in mid-air. He just said something irritating casually. Did Xu Lingfeng take it seriously?
It's not a scam, right?
After cautiously floating in the air for a while, and seeing that Xu Lingfeng showed no sign of further action, Chu Tang turned around, swept two feet away, and landed lightly on the platform, two feet away from Xu Lingfeng, to confront him.
Looking at Xu Lingfeng again, holding the long sword, looking at him expectantly.
"Isn't this guy stupid?" A thought came to Chu Tang's mind, "Who would have the advantage to not insist on anything, but instead agree to such an unreasonable request after being provoked?"
For a moment, Chu Tang was also stunned, staring at Xu Lingfeng inexplicably.
The onlookers were also confused. Many people whispered to each other:
"Is Xu Lingfeng's head wet? He's clearly beaten Chu Tang to pieces, but as long as he persists, when Chu Tang's internal strength is almost exhausted, there will always be a chance to defeat the opponent!"
"That's right. Keep using Qinggong to move in the air. It consumes the most energy and is beyond the capabilities of anyone. Xu Lingfeng can definitely wait until Chu Tang is at a disadvantage within half an hour."
"Is this the atmosphere of a holy land of martial arts? Is it to win the opponent with dignity?"
"Ling Feng, what are you going to do?" Huang Changfeng also frowned. If he hadn't been worried about Shen Zuo's thoughts, he would have scolded Xu Lingfeng again and told him not to hold back.
However, he knew that Xu Lingfeng was not so dizzy, so he couldn't help but doubt other things: "Is there any difficulty that I can't think of?"
Tao Ying also expressed doubts to Tang Yue: "What's going on with Xu Lingfeng? Someone voluntarily gave up their advantage?"
Tang Yue's face became more solemn and he said slowly: "He may have wanted to kill Chu Tang head-on, while the other party was at his peak."
"Why?"
"Inner demon!" Tang Yue said in a deep voice, "Why did Chu Tang become Xu Lingfeng's inner demon? It wasn't because Chu Tang killed Shi Ziqian with a knife in front of him! He may also want to kill Chu Tang in this way, so as to completely eradicate the inner demon in his heart. Demonic barrier!”
Tao Ying's face tightened and she asked, "So he is very confident in killing Chu Tang head-on?"
Tang Yue opened his mouth, and finally looked at Tao Ying and said: "No matter what, you can't take action, otherwise Wutong Academy will suffer the wrath of the imperial court. You can't bear it, and neither can the academy formed by the hard work of three generations of your ancestors. .”
Tao Ying's eyes flickered and finally fell silent.
In the field, Xu Lingfeng approached Chu Tang step by step, and did not stop until the two were less than one foot away. He stared at Chu Tang and said, "That day, you were standing so far away and killed Junior Brother Zi Qian with one knife. Tonight , I am also standing here, wanting to see your sword-drawing technique again!"
Chu Tang looked cautious and slowly held the handle of the knife with his right hand. He looked at Xu Lingfeng who looked eager and said, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to catch it?"
Xu Lingfeng chuckled: "If I can't catch it, it will be my life. But once I catch your most powerful killing move, I will take your life."
He spoke lightly, but his voice was filled with cold murderous intent.
The moonlight shone on Xu Lingfeng's haggard face, reflecting the endless vicissitudes of life in his eyes.
He is obviously a handsome martial arts master, but at this moment, he makes people feel terrifying and gloomy.
The long sword in his hand was raised and pointed at Chu Tang. Xu Lingfeng was full of fighting spirit and roared: "Come on!"
"Then I will help you!" Chu Tang replied lightly, resting his right hand on the handle of the sword, and immersed himself in the realm of sword drawing.
Boundless fighting spirit permeated his body, but his figure under the moonlight was like a black whirlpool, making it impossible to grasp his location for a while.
"Position?" In the distance, Tang Yue uttered a surprised voice. At that moment, he seemed to have lost sight of Chu Tang, unable to identify his position. He only felt a coldness rising from the bottom of his heart.
He had never seen the sword-drawing technique, but just for a moment he thought that Chu Tang had used the power of "shi".
"That's not potential." Tao Ying shook her head slightly and retorted, "It's just the use of spiritual power. The level is still relatively shallow, and there is still a long way to go before potential."
Tang Yue tilted his head slightly and asked, "Have you ever experienced his sword-drawing technique?"
"I've seen it before, but it's not a complete sword-drawing technique. The sword-drawing technique, when the knife comes out and blood is seen, without his killing intent at this moment, is not a true sword-drawing technique."
Tang Yue said oh, his eyes turned to Chu Tang, and he concentrated on it.
The same thing as him is the crowd watching the battle.
Many people have heard of Chu Tang's sword-drawing technique. It was Shi Ziqian who was killed by him, leading to tonight's duel.
However, these people only heard about it and did not see it with their own eyes. They only heard that the sword-drawing technique was as fast as lightning. Once the sword was drawn, it would not come back until it saw blood.
They tried their best to watch the battle tonight. In addition to wanting to see the unique skills of the holy land of martial arts, they also wanted to see the art of drawing swords.
Now, Chu Tang is ready to go, and the real sword-drawing technique is about to be unsheathed.
The most nervous person in the audience was Huang Changfeng.
Shi Ziqian didn't even have time to react to draw his sword, and was killed by Chu Tang's sword drawing technique.
As Luo Changying's most valued disciple, even if Shi Ziqian didn't achieve great success in the Nine Heavens Falling River Sword, he still had the perfect state of the Five Realms, and his swordsmanship also had some success. However, he still couldn't master the sword drawing technique. Of course, Huang Changfeng was worried that Xu Lingfeng would also succeed. Don't take this blow.
"Ling Feng, you have to withstand it!" Huang Changfeng clenched his fists tightly and prayed, "As long as you take the first blow, everything will be easy."
Huang Changfeng believes that the same principle applies to the sword-drawing technique. If you can't gather the energy after one blow, your energy will be exhausted.
No one outside could know Xu Lingfeng's mood at the moment - his heart was as calm as water.
He calmed down, holding the long sword, not even looking at Chu Tang with his eyes, but sensing with his six senses.
He also entered a subtle state: using his spirit as his eyes and ears and all the pores on his body to sense everything around him.
It senses wind, senses air, senses night, and senses people.
He could feel that Chu Tang was less than a foot in front of him, holding the handle of his knife, watching his movements closely, looking for an opportunity to use the knife.
"Keng!"
A sound of metal scraping and colliding rang through the sky.
coming!
Xu Lingfeng's eyes radiated dazzling light. He didn't need to look or search, he just "listened" and he felt a flash of white light like lightning strike towards his chest.
Draw the sword!
Chu Tang's knife is here!
Very fast indeed!
Xu Lingfeng even felt the sharp sword energy stinging his skin, and without thinking twice, he slashed with the long sword once, twice, and again...
He kept stroking the long sword, and layers of dazzling white sword gangs rolled up on his chest, like waves, one after another, with him as the center, rippling to all sides.
The buzzing sword gang pierced the air, rolled up small whirlpools, and thrust forward like the waves behind it pushing the waves ahead!
when!
There was a long, deafening sound of metal clanging together.
With a bang, the air vibrated, rippling in all directions layer by layer. With a bang, the sound waves extinguished several torches around him.
Buzz!
It seemed like the whole building was shaking, and many people were shaking along with it.
Looking at the two duels in the field again, they stood quietly, deadlocked together.
A knife and a sword, as if they were crossed and stuck in mid-air, they were almost the same.
"The sword drawing technique was blocked!" Someone sighed with regret.
