Chapter 449 Stronger Technique

In the palace martial arts hall, Bai Zhan was honing his sword skills.

Since his injury healed, he would spend nearly half of his time here every day, and would not stop until his qi was exhausted.

At the beginning, there would be Taoist priests who would come to practice with him, but after several exchanges and injuries, fewer and fewer people came here.

Weak, simply too weak!

With a blank expression, Bai Zhan swung his training wooden sword at the wooden stakes at the four corners of the hall -

These wooden stakes were at least twenty steps away from him, but under the exquisite effect of Kunshu, the sword still landed on the top of the four wooden stakes in turn, and it was so fast that it almost seemed to hit at the same time!

Snap, snap, snap, snap!

The heads of the four wooden stakes cracked!

The level of those people was almost the same as that of the wooden stakes. Bai Zhan withdrew his sword indifferently, thinking to himself that he had only used a little more force to beat them to the point of ghosts howling. This is just a wooden sword, which can only break one or two bones at most. If it is replaced with a sword made of gold and iron, wouldn't those people be unable to take a single move?

How can such a weak Taoist fight against the enemy?

But he is not much better.

Baizhan clenched his fists and let the sweat drip down his eyebrows - as long as he closed his eyes, he would recall the scene he encountered that day: the sky was covered by dark clouds, and purple lightning fell all over the sky, like a thunderous rainstorm.

In front of such magic, his proud swordsmanship became a laughing stock.

His sword can penetrate space and go wherever he wants, but in the Nine Heavens Thunder without dead ends, it is meaningless for him to attack or defend. As long as the shock technique is successfully performed, his defeat is doomed.

In the past month, Baizhan has deduced the contest with Xia Fan countless times in his heart.

And there is only one conclusion, unless it is a sneak attack and succeeds in one hit, otherwise he will die.

That spell was not something he could break.

But could he get close to Xia Fan in the upcoming war and give him a fatal blow?

The answer is undoubtedly no.

Baizhan knew very well that he was not good at hiding his breath. Even if he was dealing with Qingjian Yanqing, the latter could still detect the abnormality before making a move. The perception of the change of qi is the basic skill of a Taoist priest. There is no reason why Xia Fan can't do this with his level.

What's more, he has a helper like Luo Qingqing behind him.

In the final analysis, he is too weak!

Ning Qianshi is just a cover for Tianshu Envoy, Weihuang and Yu Linglong are too unconventional. He thought that in the entire Daqi territory, he was only second to Yu Yiqian, but he didn't expect that there would be another Xia Fan.

And Luo Qingqing - he had a hunch that this rising star of the Luo family should not be underestimated in the future.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Yunshang Jushi!

Thinking of this, he swung the wooden sword again - this time, his blade was full of killing intent.

The wooden stakes at the four corners were instantly turned into powder!

"Good sword." Someone suddenly praised.

Bai Zhan frowned and turned around, only to see Fei Nian walk into the gate of the martial arts hall.

"Shouldn't you be collecting intelligence on the front line?"

"Something unexpected happened, so I had no choice but to go back to Shangyuan first." Fei Nian replied, "Senior Bai, are you practicing sword?"

"No need to greet each other, if there is nothing important, you'd better not stay here." Bai Zhan said coldly. He was not very interested in the new generation of disciples of the Fei family. As a young generation, this person might be quite talented, but compared with Xia Fan and Luo Qingqing of the same age, he was undoubtedly dwarfed. He agreed with the idea that the core members needed to absorb fresh blood, but he was not interested in wasting time on these fresh blood. If you want to attract his attention, you have to raise your level to the garrison level.

Fei Nian not only did not leave, but approached the center of the hall. "Just now I have been observing the sword skills of the senior. It can be said to be strange and unpredictable, and extremely sharp, but... there are also shortcomings."

"What did you say?" Bai Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly sank.

He had never been criticized by a junior like this.

What's more, Fei Nian practiced magic instead of swordsmanship, so how could he know the tricks in it?

"The senior may think that I know nothing about sword skills, and it is arrogant to say so, but skills have a certain commonality in themselves." Fei Nian's expression seemed very frank.

"Then what do you think is the shortcoming?"

"The senior's sword is too slow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhan had already slashed at him with an unstoppable blow!

Fei Nian retreated quickly and threw a bag of medicine into the air at the same time.

Bai Zhan's eyes suddenly shrank, and the sword force turned sharply, changing the straight stab to an upward thrust! The wooden sword turned a strange right angle and cut the medicine bag in half. The contents scattered out, not copper wire pendants, but just a lot of copper coins.

How brave! In a rage, he used the remaining momentum to chop out the second sword, which fell mercilessly on Fei Nian's shoulder blade.

The latter's shoulder was broken, and cracks appeared on the wooden sword itself!

Seeing Fei Nian kneeling on one knee after being chopped by this sword, Bai Zhan said coldly, "If you were slow, you should be able to dodge it."

Fei Nian covered his shoulder and took a long breath, "Slow is relative. If the caster just now was Xia Fan, could the senior still swing these two swords?"

This question almost pierced Bai Zhan's heart!

"What do you mean?" He almost bit the word.

"Senior, didn't you notice that ordinary swordsmanship only requires the weapon in your hand to be wielded, while each of your attacks is essentially Kunshu, with the additional step of conception and casting, so each attack will be a little slower. However, since its route is unpredictable and it can often catch the opponent off guard, being a little slower will not have a big impact. But when the opponent is also a Taoist priest above the Qingjian level, and happens to have a large-scale attack capability, this speed difference is enough to determine victory or defeat."

"Not to mention Xia Fan, even Lord Weihuang has the means to perish together with Senior Bai - if Senior can't succeed in one move before the opponent casts the magic, it can't be said to be fast enough."

Although Fei Nian spoke slowly, Bai Zhan couldn't refute any of his words.

He stared coldly at the Fei family disciple, and spoke for a long time, "That's a nice way to put it. My swordsmanship is based on Kunshu. Do I have to give up this strength and pursue the ordinary fastest sword?"

"Of course not. Without the spell, the sword itself is not worth mentioning."

"So you say this just to laugh at me?"

"How could it be." Fei Nian shook his head, "The biggest limitation of the senior is that he is only proficient in Kunshu. If you can break through this limitation, the situation will naturally become completely different."

"Humph," Baizhan sneered, "You should know how difficult it is to practice spells across the mind."

"Indeed, but the listener is not limited by this. No one knows how to classify those immortal arts, and they don't seem to conflict with the mind and eight trigrams. And as far as I know, there is an immortal art that fits the senior's swordsmanship very well..." Fei Nian stood up and approached Baizhan, whispering a few words in his ear.

The pupils of Yunshang Jushi suddenly shrank!

"How did you know this?"

"When collecting intelligence, you will always hear some inside information. Don't worry, I haven't disclosed it to anyone else." Fei Nian smiled softly, "Besides, although this is just my personal opinion, it is also a good thing for the Seven Star Privy Council. What do you think, senior?"
