Chapter 225: Golden Sword Showdown
In the following days, Xiao Mian defeated his opponents easily and advanced smoothly. Of course, Bai Zhenzhen, Hu Ying, Ding Kaishan and others also defeated their opponents.
As the competition progressed, the scene of the competition became more and more intense, but it was just intense.
For those monks who were not lucky enough or unable to participate in the sword fighting meeting, these competitions were certainly worth watching, but for people like Xiao Mian, it was as dull as water.
After knowing that there would not be too much trouble in the Binghuo Arena, Xiao Mian was too lazy to watch other people's competitions every day. Of course, he did not want to be observed by others. Therefore, as soon as his competition was over, he returned to the small courtyard of Bibotan and devoted himself to practicing the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" to strive to complete it as soon as possible.
On the seventh day, in the competition to decide the top 20 in the Binghuo Arena, Xiao Mian finally met an opponent who could fight.
Walking onto the stage, Xiao Mian was slightly startled when he saw a young man in gray cloth standing opposite him. The young man was only about the same age as Xiao Mian, of medium build, thin body, but his waist was straight, like a flying sword pointing to the sky.
Sword cultivator!
When his eyes met with the other party's, Xiao Mian came to this conclusion sharply: his opponent this time was a sword cultivator!
And a sword cultivator with strong strength!
While Xiao Mian and the other party were waiting for the Jindan referee to announce the start of the game, many cultivators in the audience were already discussing.
"If I'm not mistaken, the green-shirted cultivator who just came on stage should be Xiao Mian from the Bibotan lineage of the Five Elements Sect, right? He defeated his opponents with one sword in the first seven elimination matches, and never used a second sword. Although he is only a high-level foundation-building cultivator, it is said that his strength is no less than those top-level foundation-building cultivators! He is considered a hot candidate for the top 20 of the Binghuo Arena. But who is his opponent? So cool!"
"Xiao Mian is indeed powerful, but his opponent is also not ordinary!"
"Yes! This boy is called Jingchu, and he is a casual cultivator, and a sword cultivator among casual cultivators." A cultivator seemed to know the situation of the sword cultivator. Seeing that many people were looking at him, he whispered: "Don't look at this boy as a casual cultivator, but His swordsmanship is superb, and his cultivation is also at the top level of the foundation building period, which is not inferior to the direct disciples of the sect. Moreover, this boy is determined to cultivate swordsmanship, and he has bet all his belongings on that sword. It is said that his "Shangless Sword" is already at the top level of magic weapon, which can be called the best! "
"With the cultivation of the top level of the foundation building period and a flying sword of the top level of magic weapon, it is no wonder that such a sword cultivator is a little arrogant and looks down on others."
"Look at Xiao Mian, who is only at the high level of the foundation building period. Although the flying sword is powerful, it is only at the top level of magic weapon. I am afraid that Xiao Mian is also in danger this time!"
Amidst the chattering, at the order of the Jindan cultivator, the competition on the stage began.
"My name is Jingchu, nice to meet you, Brother Xiao!" After the match started, Jingchu put away his previous arrogance, raised the flying sword in his hand towards Xiao Mian, and whispered: "This time I have to ask Brother Xiao for some advice, I hope Brother Xiao will not hesitate to teach me!"
"Brother Jingchu is too polite! Please!"
The two nodded slightly, and then almost at the same time controlled the flying swords to attack each other.
Jingchu's various tricks were on the Wushang Sword. He was afraid that Xiao Mian would use the Xuanfeng Sword to entangle the Wushang Sword, and then use other means to attack him. After all, the Five Elements Sect has always been famous in Nanyuezhou for the Five Elements magic. Although Xiao Mian had always used only one flying sword to attack the enemy, no one would suspect that Xiao Mian still had the Five Elements magic that he had not used.
To the surprise of Jingchu and everyone, Xiao Mian did not use the Five Elements magic, but put his hands behind his back and leisurely watched the two flying swords fighting in the air.
Sword fight, the fight is the flying sword!
Seeing Xiao Mian nodding at him with a smile, Jing Chu was stunned: Could it be that Xiao Mian was going to fight with a sword cultivator like him? Was he deliberately letting him win, or was he really confident that he could fight with a sword cultivator like him on the road of flying swords?
After thinking about it, Jing Chu put away other ideas. Since Xiao Mian had no intention of using other means, he would fight with him with all his strength.
At that moment, Jing Chu was concentrating on controlling his Wushang Sword. Suddenly, the already flexible Wushang Sword seemed to be injected with a new spirit and became vivid. The speed, which was originally slower than the Xuanfeng Sword, increased by three points, becoming on par with the Xuanfeng Sword. Even in the process of turning and moving, it was more flexible and changeable than the Xuanfeng Sword, so that the Xuanfeng Sword could not keep up with the rhythm of the Wushang Sword and was cut three times in a row.
Although the Xuanfeng Sword was cut, it was unscathed. Instead, the Wushang Sword that launched the attack trembled slightly, and finally cried in grief.
With a frown, Jing Chu suddenly retracted his Wushang Sword. Seeing that the flying sword was intact, he felt relieved, but his eyebrows were furrowed. He never thought that although Xiao Mian's flying sword was also a top-level magic weapon, it was so sharp. When it was passively attacked by the Wushang Sword, it could actually counter-injure the Wushang Sword. It was really unfair!
How can this battle be fought?
Even if the opponent's flying sword did not move and let him attack as much as he wanted, he would not dare to do it!
While Jing Chu's brows were not opened, Xiao Mian also frowned slightly. He did not blame the Xuanfeng Sword for being too sharp, but was a little curious. Since the opponent was a sword cultivator, he must have only practiced such a Wushang Sword. Why is it so rubbish?
While thinking about this, Xiao Mian recalled the Xuanfeng Sword with his backhand, put it in the storage bag, and then took out a new flying sword.
"What is this Xiao Mian of the Five Elements Sect doing? Could it be that the flying sword just now could not defeat Jing Chu's Wushang Sword, so he changed swords at the last minute? This is too bullying!"
"That's right! Isn't this obviously bullying Jing Chu for only having one flying sword? Humph! The sect cultivators are awesome, they even have more than one flying sword, but they are bullying us casual cultivators so blatantly, but it depends on whether we casual cultivators agree or not!"
"What are you talking about!?" Just as the scene was getting more and more noisy, a voice stunned everyone at the scene. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the referee of the ring who spoke. He was a Jindan strongman, so everyone was naturally angry but did not dare to speak. But the Jindan strongman said: "It's not that Xiao Mian's flying sword just now is not weak, but too powerful! Using that flying sword just now is bullying Jing Chu and Wu Shang Sword!"
"That's right! The flying sword was slashed three times by Wu Shang Sword just now, but it was unscathed. Instead, Wu Shang Sword made a mournful cry, which was obviously shocked!"
"So, Xiao Mian changed the sword, and he wanted to fight with Jing Chu fairly?"
"Who said it wasn't! Look at him, this demeanor, this style, a sect disciple is a sect disciple, if I have the chance, I also want to join the Five Elements Sect!"
"You? It seems that you were the one who made the most noise just now? And join the Five Elements Sect? It depends on whether they want you! Haha..."
While the crowd was playing in the audience, the two people on the stage started fighting again.
Xiao Mian put away the Xuanfeng Sword, and took out a flying sword that was also a top-level magic weapon. It was also a gold-attributed flying sword, but it was one of the five-element flying swords that he had obtained from the treasure cave of Yuan Yuan Zhenren. There were two ancient seal characters engraved on the flying sword - Golden Teeth!
The Golden Teeth Sword was extremely fast, and it was even faster than Jing Chu's Wushang Sword.
But Jing Chu's ability to control the flying sword was really amazing, and he used the Wushang Sword and the Golden Teeth Sword to fight evenly.
Privately, Jing Chu admired Xiao Mian's openness, and at the same time, he was also impressed by the wealth of the sect disciples.
You must know that his Wushang Sword was a top-level magic weapon flying sword that was made by melting all the cultivation resources he had obtained in the past ten years of cultivation.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mian not only had the Xuanfeng Sword that was enough to damage the Wushang Sword, but also changed it casually, and it was a gold-attributed flying sword of no less quality than the Wushang Sword.
Xiao Mian has a high-level foundation-building cultivation, but he has at least two top-level flying swords. How can Jing Chu, who is usually very satisfied with his Wushang Sword, not feel indignant?
This is exactly the biggest difference between casual cultivators and sect disciples. You should know that the spiritual materials used in Jing Chu's Wushang Sword were purchased bit by bit by himself. It can be said that every inch of spiritual material on the Wushang Sword is the product of Jing Chu's hard work; on the other hand, Xiao Mian's Xuanfeng Sword was originally a flying sword taken from Nie Sheng of the Demon Shadow Sect. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold and Blue Extreme Ice Flame that were added later were all gifts from the scholar of the Yuanying Patriarch. As for the Golden Tooth Sword, it was directly obtained from the treasure cave of Yuan Yuan Zhenren, which is considered to be the secret library of the Jinxiao Peak lineage.
One went through untold hardships, and the other took it by trickery. How can they be compared?
"Brother Jingchu's swordsmanship is exquisite, I admire you! If it were another occasion, Xiao would definitely admit defeat, and then drink and talk with Brother Jingchu, and sit down to discuss swordsmanship! But today's battle is of great importance, please forgive Xiao's unfair victory!"
Xiao Mian's words clearly admitted that he was not Jingchu's opponent in swordsmanship, but the sword fighting competition was not limited to sword fighting, he would use other means.
As Xiao Mian's voice fell, strands of Gengjin divine light emerged from Xiao Mian's body and condensed into a Gengjin divine light sword.
Just when Xiao Mian's Gengjin divine light sword was suspended, Jing Chu, whose face changed several times, gritted his teeth, resolutely took back his Wushang sword, and saluted Xiao Mian.
"Brother Xiao is so young, he has practiced the Gengjin divine light of the Five Elements Sect. He is really a genius. Jing Chu is not talented enough to compare with Brother Xiao!"
Jing Chu's words determined that he would not be among the top 100 of this sword fighting competition!
