Bamboo horse has several faces

Chapter 24 Fierce Battle

Duan Songyang has a small problem, that is, once he is nervous, he will re-grip the spirit sword in his hand, but this usually only occurs when he is sparring with his father, the current sword master.

Formal disciples of Guiyuan Sword Sect have an opportunity to formally compete with their master every year.

Different from the advice given in normal days, the master will not be merciful in the official sparring. At most, he will suppress his cultivation to the same level as the disciple, and then use his full sword intent to fight the disciple, and the disciple is not trying to defeat the master. , but trying to get some inspiration for himself in this opportunity to fight Da Neng seriously, and strive to make more moves in the hands of the master.

This is not only a test of my one-year study results, but also an adjustment of my cultivation direction for the next year.

Duan Yincang will not regard Duan Songyang as his son at this time, but will treat Duan Songyang solemnly like a lion king who accepts the challenge of a young lion.

Duan Songyang would be a little nervous in this situation.

Ye Huai once teased him when he discovered this, saying that he never thought that you were as afraid of father as those little ghosts at the foot of the mountain, but Duan Songyang didn't care, he said——

"It is inevitable for a cultivator to be nervous when facing an opponent stronger than himself."

Ye Huai didn't take it seriously: "Whoever said that, I wouldn't know it."

"That's because your expectation is that they won't hurt you," Duan Songyang looked at him seriously, "If one day, you face someone with a higher cultivation level than you, and he won't show mercy to you, You'll be nervous too."

Ye Huai chuckled and said, "Then I can't run away if I can't beat it. It's not shameful to run away for your life."

Duan Songyang stared at him speechlessly, but finally couldn't help laughing: "Okay, when the time comes, you run, and I will cover."

Ye Huai looked at the two people on the ring, golden and red sword energy intertwined, Duan Songyang's always meticulous combo began to show flaws, Gu Heng seized the flaws and attacked to expand his advantage.

There is a formation around the arena, and the sword energy hits the barrier generated by the formation, causing violent vibrations, and the barrier protects the audience from being affected.

But Duan Songyang on the ring can't avoid, can't run.

Ye Huai now understood why Duan Songyang was a little nervous before doing it, because he felt Gu Heng's cultivation.

Both of them belong to the foundation-building stage, but not long after Duan Songyang entered the foundation-building stage, Gu Heng has already entered the final stage of foundation-building, as rumored, and begins to attack Jindan.

The difference in the small realm needs sword intent to make up for it. Although both of them are in the stage of sword energy that has not yet achieved sword intent, Gu Heng's sword energy cannot be underestimated.

Ye Huai clenched his hands tightly. Gu Heng is Duan Songyang's heart demon, and has always been regarded as the head of the new generation of Guiyuan Sword Sect. If Duan Songyang loses today, then the reputation of Guiyuan Sword Sect may also be in jeopardy.

The next Juggernaut Competition is less than 20 years away. No one can guarantee that Duan Yincang, who narrowly won the last time, will still be able to hold the position of this Juggernaut. As the new generation of Duan Songyang, if he loses here, then he will Some people will say that the new generation of Guiyuan Sword Sect has no successors.

Once the momentum of the sect declines, it is difficult to turn back. Ye Huai stared at the ever-changing arena, and he kept calculating Duan Songyang's winning rate in his heart.

Is Gu Heng really so flawless?

Luo Zhi, who had already entered the Nascent Soul Stage, sighed softly. For high-level sword cultivators like them, the result of this competition has now been resolved.

"still have a chance."

A clear voice sounded from the side, Luo Zhi looked at Ye Huai who made the sound, Ye Huai had already entered the period of convulsions, different from the plump little doll he had just rescued from evil cultivators, the current Ye Huai body His body is long and slender, but the baby fat on his face makes him look like a child.

Luo Zhi stretched out his hand and gently pinched his cheek, then patted his head: "Ye Huai, you have to allow him to fail."

Duan Songyang has never been defeated by his fellow practitioners, no matter if he was a colleague who asked for advice, or a person who came to challenge him, he defeated these opponents calmly and calmly.

Except Gu Heng.

The two of them are regarded as the most talented young sword cultivators in the cultivation world, and they seem to have maintained a tacit understanding that the king does not see the king. They know each other's existence, but they have never confronted each other head-on.

This competition is the first time they have played against each other.

Just for the first time, Duan Songyang felt a huge gap.

The spirit sword spun around in his hand, blocking Gu Heng's flaming sword energy, but the scorching heat came from his back, and he didn't care to roll his image forward.

Gu Heng has a single fire attribute spiritual root, and fire and metal can restrain each other. There is no room for relaxation in the confrontation of sword qi with two attributes.

Duan Songyang knew that he was almost defeated, he should admit defeat with dignity and magnanimity, and maintain the face of Guiyuan Sword Sect.

But he is not reconciled.

He is the young head of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and he has taken revitalizing the sect as his own responsibility since he was a child.

He is the son of a sword master. Although his mother died young, she was also an excellent sword master.

He has been strict with himself since he was a child, and he is more diligent than anyone else in learning classics and practicing swords.

Why... why... Could it be... really no chance?

"No, there is still a chance." Ye Huai stretched out his finger and pointed to Gu Heng's right side. Gu Heng had already started to lay down the phantom sword array, ready to give Duan Songyang the final blow. "There is the last chance."

Luo Zhi took a closer look and found that Gu Heng's sword array was of the flame attribute. He is now at the end of foundation establishment, and Duan Songyang has been cornered by him. Leave yourself a little room for defense.

"However, he is using offense as defense," Luo Zhi still disagreed, "Songyang has already struggled with his offense, and there is no need for him to defend."

"It's not unnecessary," Ye Huai narrowed his eyes, "Actually, the cultivation base of the same great realm is not much different. He also struggled against Duan Songyang, but he didn't show it. The current offensive is just his bluff, and he also wants to end it as soon as possible. This big competition, because, if the competition continues, he will not be able to cover up his flaws."

As long as Duan Songyang can survive this period, or Duan Songyang uses all his strength to attack Gu Heng's defensive weakness on the right side, the situation can be reversed instantly!

Duan Songyang drew his sword!

However, different from what Ye Huai expected, he spread out his sword aura and fought against it, choosing to face Gu Heng's sword aura directly.

Ye Huai's tightly clenched hands shook, and he closed his eyes.

ended.

The sword formations formed by the phantoms of the two sword qis collided, sending out a huge explosion of spiritual power, and even created tiny cracks in the formation barrier guarding the auditorium.

Duan Songyang lost.

He fell to the ground, the spiritual sword with red streamer pointed at his fatal point, Gu Heng raised his chin with a disdainful expression.

Watching this scene, Ye Huai's heart suddenly throbbed. It was the embarrassed Duan Songyang he had never seen before.

There was a moment of silence in the auditorium, and then whispers sounded one after another.

"Let me just say, this Guiyuan Sword School has exhausted its strength."

"I heard that Duan Songyang just used some secret techniques of the Guiyuan Sword Sect to push his cultivation high, just to compete with Gu Heng for the title of genius sword cultivator. No, it will be revealed to the Lord."

"True geniuses will not be buried, it's a pity that my spirit stone that bet on Duan Songyang, alas."

Ye Huai's body trembled, Gu Heng was very strong, but the ability Duan Songyang showed, how can this group of people talk about it like this?

Some of these people's cultivation and sword intent might not even be comparable to an inner sect disciple of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, but they are all talking nonsense here.When Gu Heng wins, it seems like they won, while when Duan Songyang loses, it seems like he owes them something.

It was you who asked the genius to make gods to put pressure on him, and now you are the ones who dragged him from the clouds and stepped into the mud because of a failure.

Luo Zhi tightly hugged Ye Huai's body and covered his mouth. He knew that if he didn't do this, with this kid's temper, he would definitely explode and quarrel with those people.

"Ye Huai, calm down," Luo Zhi whispered in his ear, "Don't argue with these people."

Ye Huai didn't want to worry about it, but when he saw the defeated figure in the center of the ring who staggered to his feet, his internal organs were twisted so painfully.

"Actually, I was looking forward to this competition."

Gu Heng in the arena casually put away the spirit sword, the voice was transmitted to the auditorium synchronously, the auditorium gradually became quiet, and everyone was waiting to see the winner taunt the loser.

Gu Heng, the young master of the Hongyan Sect, is famous for having eyes on his head. Even some elders of the same clan whose cultivation level is higher than him are not taken seriously by him. In his perception, those people are the ones who are at the end of his life. For the mediocre people who spend the rest of their lives in cultivation bases, swordsmanship is just used by them as a tool to prolong their lives.

But because his cultivation is indeed the best among his peers, the arrogance of a genius is always tolerated.

Duan Songyang lowered his head, and did not move as if his soul had come out of his body.

Luo Zhi was a little worried, and planned to hand Ye Huai over to other disciples, and then go up to fetch Duan Songyang back, but the young master of Hongyan Sect didn't say enough.

"After all, I'm attacking the Jindan stage now," Gu Heng looked down at his defeated opponent, "but looking at it now, you are really no different from those mediocre people. The only genius young master of the Guiyuan Sword Sect is Is that so? Then, the legend of the sword master of "The World's No. [-] Sword Cultivation School" seems to be coming to an end. "

These words not only looked down on Duan Songyang, but also belittled the Guiyuan Sword Sect and the reigning Sword Master.

People have great enthusiasm for such things as the end of the legend, so except for the disciples of the Guiyuan Sword Sect who are psychologically uncomfortable, almost everyone was quiet for a moment after Gu Heng said these words, and then burst into a huge explosion. Cheers.

Looking at the cheering crowd around him, Luo Zhi frowned slightly. He was more worried about Duan Songyang's situation on the field.

Duan Songyang has always tied his cultivation to the reputation of the sect. He is most afraid that his poor cultivation will affect the reputation of the entire sect. Now, his worries have become a reality.

This child...is going to have a demon.

It can't go on like this.

Luo Zhi was about to set off to fetch Duan Songyang back, but Ye Huai rushed towards the ring, not wanting to lose his hands.

"Ye Huai! What are you doing!" Luo Zhi was anxious for a moment, he wanted to push forward, but was blocked by the cheering crowd, "Don't make trouble! Come back quickly."

Relying on his thin stature, Ye Huai took aim at the gap and reached the edge of the big formation. The disciples of Tianji Pavilion who were about to close the formation were startled.

"Hey what are you doing!"

"Feel sorry!"

Ye Huai saw the small crack in the protective barrier that was hit by the two sword qi just now, rushed to the ring, stood in front of Duan Songyang, and blocked Gu Heng's contemptuous sight for him.

"Young Master Gu," Ye Huai smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes at all, "Isn't it a little early for you to say that?"
