Drawing The Sword - C114
Ignoring the strange gazes of the disciples, Qi Xing found a quiet place. As he practiced the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, his mind was completely immersed in it, carefully experiencing the changes within. His every move was like a floating cloud, ordinary and indifferent. His entire body moved along with the sword, as if he was one with the sword.
Only by getting closer would one be able to feel a cold wind blowing around the star. The Xuan Yin energy on Qi Xing’s body leaked out at this moment. Although it wasn’t much, the cold air caused the surrounding temperature to drop significantly. The dark Yin power had eroded the breeze, which had been stirred up by the movement. The chilling cold spread throughout the air, causing the breeze to feel cold. In the minds of the fellow stars, he too was practicing the Flowing Cloud Sword Art. He was constantly revising the movements of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique and using it on his own body. Qi Xing’s movement was not fast, it could be said to be slow. to ensure greater efficiency.
“Is that true?” This shocked voice was filled with disbelief, “This person must be of use to me!” The person who spoke was Zhao Xiaoliang. The moment he finished his sentence, Zhao Xiaoling strode forward like a meteor. Several disciples with extraordinary strength followed closely behind him.
“We must pull him into our camp!” Just like a oriole coming out of a valley, the voice was melodious and pleasant to listen to. Although his voice was incomparably soft, the determination contained within it was incomparably firm.
“This is really surprising, Qi Xing!” The low mutters coming from a side hall of the Liu Clan could not be heard by anyone. They sounded extremely familiar. If Qi Xing heard about it, he would know who it was.
“Genius, what a genius!” Geniuses should join our faction! “Haha!” At a distance away from the training field, a tall martial artist wearing a long green robe heard the news of the disciple outside the door and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
At this moment, the various factions within the Liu Clan were secretly discussing amongst themselves. For a moment, a undercurrent was brewing.
As for Qi Xing, he was still practicing his Wanderingcloud Sword Technique at a moderate pace. Just at that moment, a disciple walked up to Qi Xing and shouted to Qi Xing who was immersed in the Wanderingcloud Sword Technique, “I am Liu Zheng! I’ve heard that you have excellent swordsmanship and have come here specifically to seek guidance! ”
Qi Xing’s hands stopped moving and he came back to his senses from the Flowing Cloud Sword Art. Looking at the young disciple who was disturbing his practice, he silently nodded his head. The young man had an average appearance, but there was a scar on the tip of his nose. Qi Xing could tell at a glance that it was a slash that added a bit of ferocity to the opponent! His eyes were calm, but his expression was one of arrogance!
Despite his displeasure, Qi Xing did not explode on the spot. Following Liu Zheng to the Sword Testing Platform, the moment the two of them appeared, it attracted the attention of many disciples.
“Look, isn’t that the fighter called Qixing?” Some sharp-eyed disciples immediately recognized Qi Xing.
“Is that Liu Zheng?” Below the stage, a disciple asked with some doubt.
“Ah, it’s really him!” the disciple exclaimed, recalling Liu Zheng’s story.
Liu Zheng, who joined the Liu Clan two years ago, was just an ordinary person. However, since the opponent became a First Sky of Sky Realm martial artist within a month, he should not be cultivating inside, but a First Sky of Sky Realm martial artist! A few months ago, it was said that he was already a Third Sky of Sky Realm warrior. This talent was very good. One must know that the majority of the disciples that entered the sect at the same time were only at the Second Sky of Refinement Realm. But what was truly shocking was the existence of Liu Zheng surpassing levels to battle, defeating a fourth heaven realm martial artist! The knife marks on the tip of his nose had been left during that match. There were only a handful of people who were able to jump ranks to fight in the Liu Clan. Apart from Liu Zhengnan, Zhao Xiaoliang and a few others, there were only a handful of people who were able to do so. It was almost impossible for an ordinary martial artist to jump ranks and fight. However, this person was a lone wolf. He was not in the sect all year round. Going out to gain experience again and again! It appeared very mysterious! A person like Jiang Da naturally could not be compared with a disciple who had a higher cultivation level like Liu Zheng.
The crowd of disciples recalled Liu Zheng and let out soft exclamations of surprise. Of course, there were also new disciples who did not know of this person. The old disciple then told the new disciple about Liu Zheng’s deeds. Especially those that had surpassed the fourth level, they were extremely excited, as if they had defeated their own opponents. They were incomparably excited.
Liu Zheng and Qi Xing, who had been standing silently for a long time, did not move. Qi Xing really didn’t want to stand there foolishly. With an indifferent expression, he clasped his hands and said, “So it’s senior brother Liu. I apologize for not recognizing Mt. Tai!”
“Hm, no problem.” Liu Zheng spat out a few words indifferently, then said, “I’ve heard that Sir’s swordsmanship is impressive. How about we just compete purely in swordsmanship?”
“How do we compete?” Qi Xing asked Liu Zheng doubtfully.
“There’s no need for inner strength. I’ll only compete in sword-arts.” From the looks of it, you only have the strength of the Second Heavenly Layer. With my current strength as a Fourth Heavenly Layer practitioner, compared to you, I seem to be bullying you too much. ” Liu Zheng’s strong confidence exuded from his body, shocking the onlookers.
Liu Zheng’s words sent the disciples into an uproar! Fourth Heavenly Layer! Liu Zheng had actually reached the fourth heaven! This talent could be said to be a little genius. Many of the disciples present were at the fourth level, so they had a deep understanding of the difficulty of the Mortal Realm. That required an extraordinary amount of willpower. Because of this, many people began to genuinely think highly of Liu Zheng. Their hearts were at loggerheads.
Qi Xing was also shocked. He spent two years to reach the 4th Heavenly Layer. Qi Xing asked himself if there was any time for him to clap his hands, thinking that he was half a year short of four years for his martial arts practice, it was only the beginning of the third heaven. However, Liu Zheng seemed to be overly confident in himself. He did not even bother asking about his own strength and directly called it the Second Sky. Qi Xing touched his nose. Could it be that the other party could not see through it? Or was it really because of the special Xuan Yin Power? In fact, this was indeed the special characteristic of the power technique. The Xuan Yin energy transformed from the Yin power into the dead Yin power. Although the dead Xuan Yin power weakened the dead Xuan Yin power by a little bit, it had activated the cold attribute. However, the Xuan Yin energy couldn’t change that deathly still characteristic, and wasn’t as active as the normal inner force. It was like comparing a pool of stagnant water to a pool of still water. No matter how much more active water one’s body looked, it was better than stagnant water. Looking at it from the same angle, one would feel that the surging inner strength was stronger.
“Alright, let’s compete in pure swordsmanship and swordsmanship.” Qi Xing was too lazy to bother with these things, and this was exactly what he wanted. If both sides were to use inner force, it wouldn’t be long before they would be able to compete with each other. The sword could only be tempered through continuous combat.
“Take out your sword!” Liu Zheng said softly, the sounds of discussion in the crowd gradually fading. At this moment, there were still quite a few disciples rushing over from afar. There were also quite a few fourth heaven disciples and even a few fifth heaven disciples coming over to watch. Qi Xing had nothing to say, his heart was not satisfied, but he did not act rashly. The confidence exuded by Liu Zheng was not something that the arrogant and powerless Jiang Da could compare with.
After an instant, he no longer hesitated. Sword Draw! He raised his right hand, and the third move of the Flowing Cloud Sword Art appeared. It floated towards Liu Zheng like a floating cloud. The corners of Liu Zheng’s eyes lifted as he looked at the attacking Flowing Cloud without dodging or avoiding it. With a swoosh, Liu Zheng instantly struck out with his sword. His astonishing speed made everyone below the stage let out a cry of alarm as his sword struck the back of the Qi Fang Star Sword. Qi Xing only felt that the wooden sword in his hand was about to fall out of his grasp, and the force that came from it was astonishing. He turned the wooden sword in his hand, and at the same time, dispelled the force, he thrust it out.
Qi Xing had always been using the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, and the disciples below the stage were even more shocked. Although Liu Zheng’s strength was strong, the Qi Xing before him was a sword arts genius! He knew how to use it after one look, and he even used it so skillfully. Liu Zheng was equally shocked, he did not expect Qi Xing’s Flowing Cloud Sword to reach such a level. Although he had only used seventy percent of his strength, this was already shocking enough. Furthermore, Liu Zheng reckoned that Qi Xing also did not use his full strength. Liu Zheng could not understand why Qi Xing was doing this.
