Chapter 232 Cicada and Sparrow (6000 Words, Extra Chapter for the Leader Jun Xinxu)
Pei Ye, this is the name that Gu Yunfu has been most impressed with in the past month.
He wrote the letter on a piece of paper that cost half a cent, sealed it in an envelope that cost two cents, and sent it to the cheapest post station. Finally, the letter was sent to Ming Qitian.
Then Master Ming Jian replied on the spot.
Gu Yunfu had long been curious about who this name was that he could not find in the Hefu Book. Was he a hermit? A mysterious sword master? A wandering senior? Or a new junior brother of the Sword Master?
But he really did not expect to hear it in this martial arts competition.
"Pei Ye is also a good friend of Cui Yu." Li Weiru answered with a smile, and turned back, "Hey, adults, why is the ring divided like this?"
"You have to ask Xu Sigong."
"Xu Sigong is downstairs, haha."
But Gu Yunfu on the side didn't have time to chat and laugh. He grabbed Li Weiru's arm and said, "Which two words?"
Li Weiru turned his head. The man's performance just now had surprised him. He wrote in the air: "Surname Pei, Taiye Jinchi."
"."
"What's wrong?" Li Weiru was curious, "Do you recognize him?"
Gu Yunfu still didn't answer. He looked at the young man who walked onto the ring very seriously. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an upright posture, wearing a green suit and a sword, and the clearness between his eyebrows had not yet settled.
Just the way he should be at this age-his temperament is shallow, his eyes are also shallow, not hiding much, but because of the shallowness, he is clean and bright. There is also a rare gentleness in him, not aggressive, which makes people feel quite friendly at first sight.
Looking at his clothes and sword, they were neither good nor bad. Although he did not look shabby, he could not see some of the wonderful things he wanted to see.
Is this "Pei Ye"?
To be honest, Gu Yunfu's eyes were very careful, and he even had goodwill and respect, ready to welcome the boy's sudden turn of his head.
But he obviously thought too much, the boy never looked back from beginning to end.
However, this made Gu Yunfu feel more reasonable, because his first reaction when he heard this name just now was - he didn't care about his face, people from Yunlang Mountain came to this place to bully people?
But now, this "Pei Ye" seemed to be an ordinary boy, not only too young, but also seemed not to be a Yunlang Mountain native.
Another old man asked, "What is the origin of this young man?"
"What origin?" Li Weiru was puzzled. "Fenghuai is one of the seven counties of Bowang. 'Fenghuai Peiye' means he is from Fenghuai."
"Born in Fenghuai, raised in Fenghuai, never been to other places?"
"He said no." Li Weiru looked at him, "Why are you so interested in my friend?"
Gu Yunfu adjusted his sitting posture, put on a serious attitude, and said slowly: "I'll watch."
"?"
Gu Yunfu didn't want to say anything anyway, and said with a turn of his eyes: "Who do you think will win this game, Master Li?"
"If Peiye really doesn't cheat as he said, then I think Piaoqing should have a 70% to 50% chance of winning."
This is indeed fair. In the discussion about winning and losing in the state city in the past few days, there are a few pairs that are hard to tell apart, and no one can convince anyone. For example, Yang Yan and Zhang Mozhu, Gu Guang and Shen Yao, and Peiye and Li Piaoqing.
Needless to say, Li Piaoqing is a swordsman in the martial arts world, and is currently in the limelight. The supporters of the Cuiyu Sword Sect before are finally proud of themselves. Even if Shang Huaitong is put in front of them, they will not admit that the girl is no match, let alone Pei Ye who suddenly became popular in the poetry meeting.
And from a practical point of view, the girl is definitely enough to compete for the title of the strongest five students in Bowang. Pei Ye is said to have just entered the fourth grade. He came from a country martial arts school. What is there to compare with.
But Pei Ye does not have so many emotional supporters. Everyone is not familiar with him. Most of the arguments on his side only focus on one fact-regardless of his cultivation background, he broke Yu Yingcai's sword with one sword. Can Li Piaoqing do it?
Gu Yunfu was clearly on which side he was standing on. He smiled and said, "Impossible. Master Li's beloved disciple will definitely lose."
Li Weiru glared at him, "This is the first time you've seen them. Do you know their cultivation? Pei Ye is only at the fourth level."
"I don't need to know. You'll definitely lose."
"Just watch."
"Just watch." Gu Yunfu spoke without taking his eyes off the ring.
——
On the ring, Pei Ye was already standing with his sword in hand.
Pei Ye didn't feel anyone was looking at him at all. Or rather, he felt that a large platform and tens of thousands of people were looking at him.
This felt really good.
In the impressions he had built up in the previous few matches, many people said that he didn't have much of a desire to win or lose, and was kind, polite, gentle, and so on.
This was a complete misunderstanding.
He came to the martial arts competition with only one purpose at the beginning, and that was to win! Win! Win!
Victory and standing at the height of the only crown have always been his aspirations.
It's just that the first few matches were too boring.
Looking at those opponents who were not as good as him and whose sword skills were full of loopholes, he found it hard to convince himself that he could find any passion and joy in those battles. He even felt a little guilty and embarrassed for defeating them too quickly.
So the other side of the boy's attitude was revealed inappropriately on the ring. It was not a fight, but a chat and making friends.
But it was different this time.
After leaving aside those magical gifts, he faced the Bowang Martial Arts Competition completely as a swordsman. What he had been looking forward to was to see how far he could go with the strength he had gained in the past few days.
Li Piaoqing, the true disciple of Cuiyu, Wusheng, possessed the unique skill "Yellow Jade", and was about the same age as himself.
This was the real opponent.
To be honest, Pei Yezhen didn't dare to say that he would definitely defeat her.
He bowed briefly and drew out his sword. This sword had experienced many fights with him, and the sheath and handle had become a little old, but the blade of the sword was still bright and flawless after being forged for a hundred times. It was won in the Mid-Autumn Martial Arts Competition, and now it was used to win him higher honor.
On the other side, Li Piaoqing had just come on stage with his sword.
She didn't have any inexplicable excitement. As for the young man in front of her, she just remembered the subtle silence he brought to her when they first met - "If you defeat me in the martial arts competition, I will admit defeat and step down, and I will not use stronger swordsmanship against you."
Now it's really here. She thought a little unconvinced.
Li Piaoqing stood still on the stage, and suddenly felt that the sleeves of this dress seemed a little longer and wider today, not very suitable for fighting.
She glanced at Pei Ye who couldn't wait to put on the sword stand, motioned him to wait, and rolled the wide part of the sleeve into a strip, tied it on her forearm, revealing her white wrist.
At this time, the sound of the tripod had sounded.
Li Piaoqing was still tying the other arm leisurely. She knew that the picture would be a little too harmonious, but anyway, the opposite was Pei Ye.
Then she was suddenly startled, and felt a strong wind coming from the front, blowing her hair apart. She looked up in astonishment, and in front of her, the boy's sharp start was about to hit her eyebrows!
He didn't wait for any time at all, not even half a breath! As soon as the first tripod sounded, he immediately rushed up!
"Pei Ye!!" Li Piaoqing shouted, busy and busy, tying, leaning, and drawing the sword at the same time, the green light of the Shicui sword flashed, and it had "ding" to block the incoming sword.
"It has already started." Pei Ye said confidently.
On the high platform, Gu Yunfu, who was watching seriously, slowly hugged his arms together and frowned - Master Mingjian likes to make friends with such people?
No one expected that the duel between the two young talents would start like this, but when the girl opened the first sword and turned out the second style, the duel suddenly returned to its proper temperament.
For those who have never experienced the prelude of the sword of will just now, this is the most peak duel so far.
The boy's first sword was peaceful and upright, just like the gentle temperament he has shown these days. [Breaking the Earth], three out of seven, this is a perfect starting style, which can not only pick out the opponent's moves of sufficient weight, but also will not be caught by any tail, and it is also very smooth to connect with the moves behind. After learning this style, Pei Ye still likes to start the sword with it.
At this time, it is just the right sword to scare the girl and give her time to react.
Li Piaoqing drew his sword and blocked it, then the Shicui Sword flipped, and the sword suddenly dimmed, as if it disappeared. Pei Ye's eyes blurred, and it was really with the reaction force on the sword that he caught the sword again.
The next moment, the bright water jade suddenly returned, followed by the girl's flying skirt. If this was a meticulous painting, then now the green color suddenly exploded on the stage, and a sword was suddenly in front of Pei Ye.
In the past three days, many Cuiyu disciples have appeared on this stage, and the audience has seen the "Emerald Chapter" written by different people. In the first game just now, Shen Yao also showed them the "green light" and "jade shadow" with both form and spirit. Many people who are more sensitive to swords can already distinguish this unique sword technique with their eyes.
But the girl still brought them a strange sense of surprise as soon as she made a move.
《Yellow Jade》 · [Hide the Clouds and Catch the Birds]
Shen Yao only had a solitary move. Among the 128 people, only the girl could really fight with this supreme sword of Bowang, and she was its only successor.
Pei Ye didn't catch the start of this sword at all, because it could be perfectly hidden in the sword-holding move just now.
Combined with the sword of Shi Cui, a sword that switches between light and dark, the swiftness of this sword made Pei Ye feel like a fault, it was really a hidden cloud jade.
You carefully [Break the Earth], then I will hide in the clouds and mist, and suddenly extend my claws without warning.
[Break the Earth] will only be targeted so accurately in front of the girl, and Pei Ye was indeed surprised.
But he happened to have an equally accurate move.
Pei Ye's body moved, [Break the Earth] was not retracted to block, but smoothly connected to the next move.
The man was clearly in front of her. All the trends on the sword, footsteps, and torso were telling the girl's brain that the man was in front of her and would continue to be in front of her in the next moment, but in one step, he had disappeared.
Li Piaoqing only felt that her long sword had pierced an illusion, and the same sense of discontinuity was now fed back to her. In the real world, the boy had already leaned to the left to the extreme, and the long sword pulled out a sharp fold to cut her.
Look at the left, and suddenly it's on the right.
"Feng Yao Chapter" · [Shelling]
After exchanging dangerous moves, Li Piaoqing was forced into a dead end first. This should have been a sword that was enough to make a contribution, but when it cut towards the girl's neck, there was still a "clang" sound.
"Yellow Jade" · [Stepping on Water to Pick Scales]
The green light flashed and had already touched the boy's sword blade, knocking it behind him. With the speed of this sword, as long as the sword master could react, he would almost certainly have time to make a move.
Of course, it takes a deep enough attainment.
If the speed of the girl's sword was borrowed from Shen Yao, the outcome of the previous match would still be uncertain.
After the collision, the continuous wonderful exchanges between the two finally had a gap - five lives against four lives, and the difference in the meridian trees was immediately revealed.
Even though the boy had a good root bone support, there was still a power gap of seven or eight meridians between the two.
Yes, Pei Ye couldn't beat Li Piaoqing in arm wrestling, and he had already humiliated himself.
In the gap when the audience finally had a chance to take a breath and blink, Li Piaoqing immediately seized the gap created by [Treading Water to Pick Scales], and kept connecting with force slashes, straight piercings and other full-strength attacks.
In an instant, the sword light flashed, and the sound of "ding" rang out. Li Piaoqing tried to break Pei Ye's defense, or break an empty door, but although Pei Ye had no chance to breathe, she could always cleverly resolve her offensive with a higher level of sword realm, and tried to regain some territory from time to time.
However, the effect was minimal.
In the long run, after nearly twenty moves, the advantage was accumulated little by little by the girl.
Pei Ye had already felt in the daily sparring that the girl was a very difficult opponent. She was sharp, courageous and smart. Thinking three steps ahead and two moves at a time was also Pei Ye's preferred style, but when playing against the girl, he often couldn't get any advantage, and he felt like he was facing himself.
At this time, after the girl got an advantage, Pei Ye had to immediately endure her desperate attack, and her move made the gap bigger and bigger.
As soon as the gap became large enough, Li Piaoqing suddenly twisted his wrist and connected the first killing sword of "Yellow Jade".
[Swept Fire Through Waterfall].
A very fast and strong light penetrated into the center of Pei Ye's chest. The struggle for the initiative since the battle finally came to a complete conclusion. Li Piaoqing took the lead in killing, and Pei Ye had no choice but to retreat. [Eat Leaves] "ding" thirteen times in a row, dissolving the sword.
The girl refused to give in and rushed forward, and the next sword was the stronger [Broken Leaves and Returning Waves]!
This was an even more decisive killing move, both stronger and faster. [Eating Leaves] was not unable to neutralize this "strength", but with the addition of "speed", he didn't have time to slash so many times.
This was the swordsmanship bond between the Jade and Fei veins. They certainly didn't target each other in order to defeat each other, but in this mutual warning, they constantly broke through new moves, reminded each other of loopholes, and improved their own flaws.
So for the strong and fast attack sword [Broken Leaves and Returning Waves], does the "Yuqiong Book" have a way to crack it?
Yes.
After "transformation" reached the extreme, facing this more powerful attack, the "Feng Yao Chapter" found another way to deal with it - attack against attack.
And this is exactly what both of them knew at this time, the decisive point of this battle is about to arrive.
In the continuous collision just now, Pei Ye, who suffered from the disadvantage of strength, has been at a disadvantage, but both of them know that this situation will not continue.
Because this is the process of the cicada [Spreading Wings]
In the "clashes" where the girl tried to break through the boy's defense, [Qingming] had been accumulating.
Now, it was time to release it. What was waiting for [Duanye Huilan] was a collision that was enough to decide the outcome.
Let's see whether [Duanye Huilan] was more powerful, or [Qingming] was more indomitable!
The two people looked at each other expressionlessly, their faces were actually closer to each other than the swords, and their faces were as firm and resolute as ever.
But no one drew their sword.
You go.
You go!
You go first!
You go first!!
Li Piaoqing was a little furious. Of course, she couldn't go first, because what she held in her hand was not [Duanye Huilan] at all, but [Xishu Tongying] that she had just learned.
This sword needed the cooperation of the true qi technique to burst out the strongest power, but it was still a strong enough sword without the true qi technique.
After Cui Yu had a soaring posture, the girl's mood suddenly became bright, and her understanding of "Yellow Jade" also became smooth. She realized [Washing Tree Bronze Shadow] the day before yesterday.
This sword is also a killing sword, but it is not that clean and powerful head-on collision. It is in all directions, and the sword shadow is like snow.
It can just avoid [Clear Sound].
So of course she had to trick the boy into making the first move.
I didn't expect this man to be so cunning and treacherous, and he didn't give me a chance at all.
It's all because I had sparred with him too many times before, and he had figured out my fighting style.
You go first!!!
Okay, I'll go first.
Pei Ye smiled maliciously-this is what you asked for. The boy shook his arm, and a lightning-like sword light suddenly jumped forward from behind him.
Li Piaoqing was so scared!
The two were too close at this time, and it was a distance that a sword could easily penetrate.
But this distance is enough for the girl to react to a sword like [Qingming], because the ultimate of this sword is strength and straightness, and the speed is average.
But she can't react to [Treading Water to Pick Scales]!
Just as she quietly learned new sword moves, the boy also has his own progress. He got the "Yellow Jade" the night before yesterday, and he has already learned the first move today!
And to be fair, this sword really doesn't have too many flaws, at least it is higher than Shen Yao's level.
Li Piaoqing definitely can't react to this sword, and Pei Ye also knows that she can't react, so.
Ding!
With a sound of sword blades clashing, the girl's sword has been blocked on his neck, blocking his long sword.
It is specially prepared for such a sudden and quick killing move - "Yellow Jade"·[Unmoving Dangerous Wind].
In the first game, Shen Yao thought that he could use it to catch Zhang Junxue's repeated waves, but in fact, catching such heavy blows was not what this sword move was really good at.
This sword is somewhat similar to the True Qi technique called [Six Arms]. It is not just used, but must separate a stream of True Qi hidden in the body from the beginning to support the hard work of [Unknown]. React in a dynamic manner.
This pose is not the one that requires the most talent in "Yellow Jade", but it is definitely the most difficult one to master. The practitioner needs to incorporate the twenty-four directions of sword return into instinct to give the body the state of "immobility". In this way, When danger suddenly approaches, there is no need to pass through the brain, and there is no time to pass through the brain. The body has already returned the sword to block it.
It is said that a bird stands on a high branch and does not move in danger of the wind.
But after taking the sword, the girl's expression did not change much, because she fully understood the boy's method of victory.
——At this time, the [Washing Tree Bronze Shadow] she held in her hand had been broken, and the opportunity to use it to make a move was gone.
But to the boy on the opposite side, this fight was just another [Spreading Wings], with [Qing Ming] still following closely behind.
He deliberately used his brisk sword to force out his [Unmoving Dangerous Wind], allowing himself to dissolve his hidden killing move, and then used his sword to use [Qing Ming] to win.
Just as he wanted to secretly avoid the collision with his strong sword, he also didn't want to confront him head-on. As early as during the sparring session, we knew that the two of them were always cheating when they fought.
Sure enough, the sword she held on the side of her neck immediately began to vibrate powerfully, accompanied by a clear sound that forcefully broke through her defense.
"I lost." Li Mingqing glanced at the boy.
Pei Ye pretended not to hear, but still opened the girl's sword with a complete "Qing Ming" move. This "Qing Ming" move had been "Spreading Wings" for too long, and at this time, it was so powerful that it made the spectators look at her.
Before such a stunning sword move, the Lost Cui Sword was weakly deflected, and the girl's posture was shattered. Pei Ye calmly placed the sword on the girl's neck.
At this time, the lingering sound of the clear cry disappeared, and Pei Ye raised his head and looked around the stands calmly.
".The third game of the Quis competition, the winner is Feng Huai Pei Ye!"
There was thunderous applause and cheers.
In the three days since the competition began, this was definitely the most exciting and purest sword fight. It is different from a duel between knives and swords, sticks and swords, or between swordsmen with widely different levels. This is a confrontation between two equally excellent swords. Testing, changing moves, advancing and retreating, attacking and defending. This dazzling subtlety is the unique beauty that only the sword can bring to the viewer.
The audience didn't know about Jade Vein and Fei Vein, nor did they know that the two young men had discussed each other many times. They were sincerely worried about every thrilling attack, and the next moment they couldn't help but worry about the other. One party's accurate cracking shouted applause.
Pei Ye smiled and waved to the stage, which indeed aroused another burst of cheers.
On the other side, Li Suiqing rolled her eyes, sheathed her sword, and walked straight off the stage.
Pei Ye trotted and followed her several times, and finally was able to force herself to stand side by side with her.
On the high platform.
Li Weiru sighed softly, but Gu Yun helped him down without teasing him proudly. His eyes still fell on the ring, he sighed slowly and touched his palms and said: "It's really amazing."
"You're right." The old man tilted his head and smiled, "How about you comment on these two young people?"
"The word "spiritual charm" is indeed imbued with the word "Ling disciple." Gu Yunfu sighed softly with a smile, "Also, I don't know how to learn a sword, but I am really good at using it."
"He also learns sword very quickly."
"That's really a top-notch talent."
Li Weiru laughed: "Where is Young Master Pei?"
"I won't say anything about this. Just watch and admire." Gu Yunfu said with a hesitant smile.
"Huh? Why are you so squirmy again?"
"Okay then," Gu Yun shook his head, smiled, and said seriously, "This Young Master Pei's sword is the best I have seen in three games."
Li Weuru opened his eyes slightly: "Oh? You don't know, there has been a heated discussion in the city, that is, who is better in swordsmanship, Shang Huaitong or Pei Ye."
"Shang Huai Tong's Yi Jian is naturally superior to others, but a person's skill with the sword is not determined by the quality of the sword itself." Gu Yunfu said seriously, "Both of them are at the pinnacle of humiliation, but Shang Huai Tong The sword has a stubborn craftsmanship, and Mr. Pei's use of the sword is closer to the state of the sword itself - to be honest, superb sword moves may not be learned through hard work or adventure, but this kind of natural perception of the sword. But it’s really unique to talent.”
Li Weiru frowned: "Really? Is it so mysterious?"
Gu Yunfu thought of his junior brother Shang and sighed: "Of course, I am very familiar with the way geniuses like them use swords."
