Drawing The Sword - C107

“Deacon Hu, disciple Liu Zhengnan requests an audience.” Liu Zhengnan led Qi Xing to a house and cupped his fists as he spoke.

“Oh, Zhengnan is back?” An elderly voice came from inside. It was so calm that no unnecessary emotions could be heard from it, “Come in.”

Only then did Liu Zhengnan lead Qi Xing into the room. Qi Xing seemed a little restrained. From time to time, he would look around and find nothing special about the room. He thought to himself, It’s just like an ordinary house. At this moment, an old man with white hair and a beard was sitting on the seat of honor in front of the lobby. With an ashen face, the old man had an unusually vigorous aura. His eyes were sharp, and his entire body exuded an imposing aura, causing people’s hearts to tremble. As Qi Xing sized up the old man, the old man also looked at Qi Xing, before casting an inquiring gaze at Liu Zheng Nan. Qi Xing felt as if the elder had seen through him, and his heart trembled violently when he saw that the elder had seen through his disguise. Qi Xing immediately realized that the old man in front of him was not simple.

“Deacon Hu, this is a friend that Zhengnan made outside. Now, he wants to join our Liu Clan. What do you think?” Liu Zhengnan stood a few steps away from the old man and said.

“Greetings Deacon Hu.” When Qi Xing saw the old man look at him again, he clasped his hands and said.

“So that’s how it is. There’s no rush in this matter. “Bring him down to rest first. I need to consider this matter.” Deacon Hu’s expression didn’t change as he ordered. Saying that, he picked up a cup of tea from the table, Liu Zhengnan knew that Deacon Hu was sending him off. He did not stay any longer and bid his farewells to Qi Xing before leaving. After lining up Qi Xing, Shi Hao, and the others, Liu Zhengnan left. He had just returned to the sect and had some matters to take care of, so he needed to meet some people.

Qi Xing did not say anything. Now, he just needed to wait for Deacon Hu’s nod and he would be a disciple of the Liu Clan. This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about trivial things and could concentrate on practicing martial arts. There were some things he still needed to do, but he was currently lacking in strength. Shi Hao and the others didn’t have any disagreements with Liu Zhengnan’s arrangements. After so many days of being together, they had a better understanding of each other. An acquaintance was naturally happy from the bottom of his heart.

But strangely, on the second day, the entire day, Qi Xing did not wait for Deacon Hu’s response. Liu Zhengnan had come on a trip and said that he would wait for the results to come. Helpless, Qi Xing could only sit in the room and cultivate the Xuan Yin energy. Feeling the abundant internal energy in his body, Qi Xing was full of hope for the future of the path of martial artists!

At this moment, Qi Xing brought his sword to the training field. From far away, the sound of clashing weapons could be heard. Upon entering, Qixing saw two swordsmen sparring on the Sword Testing platform. Extremely curious, Qi Xing squeezed in and carefully observed it.

“Ma Shaodong, today I must defeat you!” One of the people on the stage burst out laughing, looking extremely excited.

“Sikong, don’t be too happy. That’s what you said last time. In the end, you still lost to me.” Ma Shaodong teased. He didn’t comment.

“This time is different. My martial arts have improved. I will definitely defeat you this time!” Si Kong confidently said. He did not care about what Ma Shaodong said about the previous incident. Si Kong and Ma Shaodong were from the same batch of disciples who had entered the Liu Gate. They had a good relationship with each other and viewed each other as their opponents. Because they often sparred together, the strength of the two of them had greatly improved. In the same batch of disciples, their strength was pretty good.

“Cut the crap, look at the sword!” Ma Shaodong didn’t say anything else. Just as he finished speaking, his eyes changed and instantly became sharp as he raised his sword. The tip of his sword was infused with inner force as it flashed with a cold light and pierced forward with an unparalleled sharpness. A sharp, sharp sword flashed as it swiftly flew forward.

When Si Kong saw Ma Shaodong raise his sword and knew that the attack was coming, he revealed a surprised expression. However, he did not panic and shouted, “Ma Shaodong, you little rascal, you actually dare to launch a sneak attack! “See how I’ll break through you!” With a swish, the long sword in Si Kong’s hand was sent flying. As he poured his Qi into it, his momentum greatly increased. He then clashed directly with the incoming sword attack. Clang! Flames flew in all directions. The right hand holding the sword suddenly stopped in mid air and swung downwards. At this moment, Ma Shaodong’s body was exposed to Si Kong’s sword.

Ma Shaodong felt his heart tighten as his whole body suddenly moved out horizontally, avoiding Si Kong’s long sword. Si Kong was stunned. Qi Xing had noticed that Ma Shaodong had moved horizontally because he had taken a strange step forward. His entire person seemed to have suddenly appeared on the other side. Qi Xing was surprised by this. When Ma Shaodong saw Si Kong, he was stunned. The long sword that was sent flying was now retracted into his hand. A sword flower swooshed towards Sikong like a beautiful flower.

When Si Kong saw this, his heart trembled and he did not dare to be careless. He hit the ground with his foot and quickly backed up. At the same time, he slashed out with his sword. The sound of breaking air could be heard as he tried to seal off Ma Shaodong’s incoming sword. After sealing up Ma Shaodong’s sword flower, Si Kong swiftly brandished his sword. They did not respect each other! Si Kong suddenly shouted, “Take my sword!” When Ma Shaodong saw Si Kong’s sword attack, he instantly had the illusion of being targeted by a venomous snake. His expression slightly changed. Ma Shaodong was very clear on the power of this move. He had frequently sparred with Ma Shaodong, so naturally, he was very clear on the power of this move.

“I’ve finally started to put in a lot of effort. Since this is the case, I can’t continue hiding my true abilities.” Ma Shaodong’s heart was filled with anxiety. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Three sword strikes that could barely be seen with the naked eye rapidly flew forward. The three clashing sounds of the swords made Qi Xing’s heart tremble. What a fast sword, what an accurate sword! The swords in the duo’s hands didn’t stop at all as they continuously struck out.

The group of disciples watching from below were enjoying the show with their eyes wide open, hoping to learn something from it. Each exchange of pointers was a test of the opponent’s strength, and it also gave everyone a chance to learn. Everyone had different comprehensions of martial arts, but it did not hinder them from learning from each other. Moreover, Ma Shaodong and Sikong Yi were fourth heaven disciples. Their strength was considered quite good within the sect. Most of them were new disciples under the second heaven. Of course, there were also a few senior disciples who had entered the third heaven at the same time as Ma Shaodong and Sikong.

Fighters usually don’t have an obvious time limit, but the most suitable time for martial arts practice is 12 years old! The first stage of Fighter 1-dan could be reached in a few months. The second stage and the third stage were both relatively easy to achieve. Some people with good aptitude would be able to reach it within two years or so, while those with normal aptitude would be able to do so within three years or so. However, the true difficulty for a martial artist would begin from here. The three levels of the Heavenly Dipper Realm would suddenly have to be blocked! And this was preventing countless warriors from advancing! This was also the reason why the number of fourth heaven or higher disciples in each sect was directly reduced to less than one tenth of the original disciples! As for martial artists above the seventh level, there were even fewer. This was because they had to face an earth realm acupoint that was several times more difficult than a human acupoint!

At this moment on the stage, Ma Shaodong and Sikong came and went dozens of times. Each of their strikes was extremely sharp and one sword was faster than the last. That exquisite sword-art caused the feeling in Qi Xing’s heart to tremble. At this moment, the two were already exhausted. After all, it wasn’t easy to use their swords for a long period of time. Ma Shaodong took a step back and opened up the stance as he gripped his sword with both hands. The inner strength in his body surged up and poured into the blade of the sword. Immediately, light began to circulate on the surface of the sword. The piercing sword light sliced through the air and charged towards Si Kong.

In the end, who will win and who will lose.
