Chapter 731: The Temptation of Drawing the Sword
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left, and when he reached the door, Shui Lingling stopped him suddenly. watermark ad test watermark ad test
Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks and said, "Is there something else, big sister?"
Shui Lingling closed her eyes, her soft face fell into a state of contemplation, she opened her eyes after a while and said, "I will wait for you to come back in a year, and then you will not only have to face Bai Wuxue's appointment, Tianjiao You should also be eligible to compete in the battle of saints and sages on the list of outstanding people."
"Finally, take care all the way, and come back alive no matter what."
Xiao Chen's body paused slightly, he could feel the concern in Shui Lingling's words, and stayed for a moment.
I wanted to say something, but in the end I left without saying anything.
The stars are twinkling, and the night is like a chessboard, ever-changing.
On the outskirts of the Wild Beast Forest in Haotian Prefecture, there are many big trees that support the sky, and the dense branches and leaves block the starlight even if it does not let it fall.
In the dark forest, one after another, beast roars sounded from far and near. It sounds like the roar of a ghost, and it is especially frightening in such a world where you can't see your fingers.
However, warriors who come here to take risks, I am afraid that no one will be intimidated by this dark night. If they are timid, they will not have the courage to venture into the famous wild beast forest in the Tianwu Domain.
Somewhere in the forest, a bonfire was burning, and the erratic firelight brought a piece of light that was not too dazzling to this dim world.
In the endless darkness, this fire can be reflected ten miles away, except for the rookies who just came to the wild beast forest. No one would light a bonfire at night, that would undoubtedly commit suicide.
The ferocious nocturnal spirit beasts will be spotted immediately, and then they will rush towards you one after another.
But at this moment, a thousand meters away from the flames, a pair of green eyes stared at the white figure beside the campfire, but hesitated, not daring to take any action.
On the big tree thousands of meters away, hung a few disembowelled fire spirit monkeys. The blood on their chests hadn't solidified yet, and the fishy smell lingered for a long time.
The fire spirit monkey, the eighth-level spirit beast, is like an overlord in this periphery, and no one dares to provoke it.
Seeing the corpse of the spirit beast hanging on the tree, the spirit beast with a little bit of instinct will not act rashly.
Beside the bonfire, an unfolded picture scroll floated in mid-air. The white figure half a meter in front of the picture scroll was staring at the person in the picture intently.
A girl with a petite and cute face but an extremely hot figure was adding branches to the campfire bit by bit.
The flickering flames illuminated the creamy and tender face, and the girl smiled and counted softly: "One, two, three, four..."
When the count reached nine, the white figure in front of the picture scroll seemed to have experienced something terrible, with a frightened expression on his face, he flew back dozens of steps.
A man and a woman are naturally none other than Xiao Chen and Ao Jiao who left Haotian School.
It is not allowed in any sect to travel long distances after less than a year of entry. Firstly, I am afraid that accidents will happen if I am not good at learning, and secondly, I am afraid that the disciple will leave immediately after getting the benefits.
However, with Shui Lingling's personal jade card, the Great Elder of Haotianzong's inner sect, in desperation, accepted Xiao Chen.
Yue Chenxi and Gongyangyu each went out to do sect missions, and Xiao Chen couldn't say goodbye to them. After Long Wenguo was entrusted to Yue Chenxi, he went on the road alone.
From Haotian Prefecture to Yaoyu, the quickest way is to go all the way west through the Wild Beast Forest, and after crossing the most remote Hunluo Prefecture in Tianwuyu, you will arrive at Yaoyu.
Ao Jiao looked at Xiao Chen who took a few steps back, and said with a smile: "That's right, you lasted for nine seconds this time, and it won't be long before you can break through ten seconds."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand and rolled up the picture of the Qing Emperor drawing his sword, and sighed: "I have been able to discover the direction of drawing the sword in thirty-two places, but his starting style seems to change endlessly. There are always directions you don't expect."
After entering the wild forest, Xiao Chen had nothing to do. After all, he couldn't bear the temptation of the picture of the Qing Emperor drawing his sword, and unfolded the picture scroll again.
In fact, any real swordsman will be like Xiao Chen, after witnessing a sword technique that subverts his common sense, even if it is weird, he will find a way to get a glimpse of it.
Slowly Xiao Chen discovered that the sword of the man in the painting can be blocked, but you have to guess the direction of his sword in advance, otherwise you will still be killed by a single sword.
Even though Xiao Chen had experienced the real feeling of being on the verge of death many times, he was still not used to it, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
However, this behavior of seeking death has also benefited Xiao Chen a lot in the past few days. His understanding of the sword drawing technique is much better than before.
The process of pulling out the knife is only a moment, but at that moment, it moves with the inclination of the body's footsteps, or the slight change of the angle of holding the knife.
The trajectory of the knife will immediately become very different, and even the surrounding environment will be different. Even a knife with the same trajectory will evolve into another situation.
Going up a level, integrating the artistic conception and state of mind into the sword drawing technique, can also form a new change.
At a higher level, it is in harmony with the heaven and the earth. The moment the sword is drawn contains the perception of the heaven and the earth, and the control of the way of heaven. At that time, the sword is no longer a sword.
In that state, Xiao Chen is far behind now, he is still at the most basic stage. How to control the angle and the environment, deriving different changes.
As far as he knew, no one among the younger generation in the Tianwu Domain had studied the art of drawing swords so deeply. If he can go one step further, it may not be impossible to become his new trump card.
Xiao Chen held the picture scroll, his eyes showed deep thought, and murmured: "I always feel that this picture scroll is not just that simple, it should contain a bigger secret."
Aojiao raised her eyelids slightly, and said, "What's so unusual, I've seen this kind of baby a lot, but it's just my own perception of martial arts, turned into will and projected on paper, and many of the Emperor Wu passed on to future generations. Human martial arts are like this."
"Your jade slips that hide the sound of the dragon are also similar in purpose, but the sword drawing technique is more difficult to comprehend."
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, put the picture scroll into the Qiankun Ring, and said: "Maybe, but I have a hunch, if I can grasp all the directions of his swords, the answer will be ready at that time."
Bo's petite mouth was slightly raised, obviously not believing that there would be any big secret.
Looking around, Xiao Chen looked at those green eyes and said, "Get up, I have to work."
With a palm of his hand, he blew out the bonfire in front of him, turned it into a ray of light, and escaped into the fairy ring.
The surrounding light disappeared, and the night completely obliterated Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen moved his hands and feet, and after locking his prey, he quickly ran and jumped between the flat ground.
Whoosh whoosh!
The night did not cause any hindrance to Xiao Chen's line of sight. The white figure jumped up and down among the trees, like a nimble cheetah, overcoming obstacles one after another.
The distance of a thousand meters was reached in an instant, and a strong, tiger-shaped spirit beast covered with snow-white fluff appeared in front of Xiao Chen.
This is the more powerful ice tiger among the seventh-level spirit beasts, but it does not pose any challenge to Xiao Chen, and uses it as prey for another purpose.
Xiao Chen's powerful aura was restrained in his body, contained but not released, no different from ordinary people. When Binghu looked at Xiao Chen, he felt a little weird at first, but after all, he was not as intelligent as humans.
After he couldn't feel the dangerous breath, he finally couldn't help it. He stepped on his limbs and walked forward. The surging power between the soles of his feet beat the ground rhythmically.
Dongdongdong, there was a deafening sound, and it disappeared after a long distance in the darkness.
Seeing the ice tiger getting closer and closer, Xiao Chen was smiling, without any intention of moving his footsteps.
It's just that the crowded purple clouds at the dantian spread out one by one, turning into thick true essence, which flows in the meridians like a river.
The circuit through which the true essence flows is extremely strange, it is just a small circulation in the three meridians inside the chest cavity.
In the end, the true essence flowed faster and faster, and it spun frantically, driving the blood, bones, skin and muscles in Xiao Chen's body, making a subtle clanging sound.
Clang clang!
The voices gathered together, like a deep and angry dragon chant, spinning with the true essence in the chest cavity, trying hard to find a vent to release it.
But he couldn't get out, he could only spin, spin, and keep spinning. The deep dragon roar became more and more urgent, and the accumulated power made Xiao Chen feel as if his chest would be exploded at any moment.
If Xiao Chen looked inside at this moment, he would find that the true energy that had been circulating in his chest had turned into a blue dragon shadow, and the dragon shadow changed from emptiness to reality.
As the deep dragon chant became more and more urgent, the dragon shadow became more and more solid, as if all the voices converged on this cyan dragon shadow true essence.
The feeling of swelling in the chest has completely reached the critical point. If this force is not vented, it will directly blow Xiao Chen to death.
The huge figure of Binghu was only five meters away from Xiao Chen, and a tiger claw slapped towards Xiao Chen fiercely.
Without any movement, no matter how hard the head is, it will be turned into a pulp when it is slapped by the ice tiger.
break!
Xiao Chen, who had not moved all this time, finally moved, not with his feet or hands, but let go of his throat and roared out.
The dragon-shaped true essence that had been waiting in the body for a long time, wishing to rush out immediately, rushed out with a whoosh. The dragon-shaped true essence turned into a vortex-shaped invisible sound wave, and spread out from his throat quickly.
A huge sound surged out along with this roar, the sound was more violent than thunder, and the dragon's might was swaying, as if it could shake thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
Five meters in front of the ice tiger, a trace of blood spilled from the ears, nose and mouth, and with a bang, the whole body fell down feebly.
The next moment, the gust of wind suddenly blew up, and the giant trees supporting the sky within 500 meters around exploded from the heart of the trees. Roots and mud splashed out, smashing tree trunks all over the sky, dancing in the sky.
The ice tiger on the ground was not completely dead, its limbs were twitching non-stop, blood was slowly flowing from the corner of its mouth, and its eyes were fighting.
Xiao Chen bent down, put his right hand on Binghu's back, sent out a ray of consciousness, and checked carefully.
After a while, Xiao Chen showed a dissatisfied look on his face. Binghu's internal organs were not broken, but a crack was opened.
In such a short distance, a seventh-level spirit beast can't be killed instantly by using the Long Yin Jue. It has to be said that Xiao Chen needs to strengthen too much.
