Chapter 53: Sword Test, Cui Tiegu Asks Dugu Qingxiao for the Sword

Six days later.

Zhenwu Jiangui Association, the day of the first round of competition.

The competition has not yet begun, but the Jianping stand at the top of Qilin Peak in Taiyue Mountain is already crowded with people.

"Senior Sister Linglong, what did Second Senior Brother say about Wenjian Cui Tiegugu?"

After Xu Taiping took his seat in the stands, he suddenly asked Zhao Linglong curiously.

Although Xu Taiping's group's sword-asking competition was scheduled for tomorrow, because the competition between his second senior brother Dugu Qingxiao's group was today, he still came early with his senior sisters Zhao Linglong and Lingyue Fairy. Went to Qilin Peak Jianping to watch the battle.

Zhao Linglong sighed helplessly and said:

"We have said everything that needs to be said, but how much Second Senior Brother can listen depends on today."

Xu Taiping nodded and said:

"That's all it can do."

At this moment, the elder of the mountain guard of Jiufu Qilin Peak suddenly jumped up with a "boom" and landed directly on the sword flat.

Follow, just listen to the elder's voice:

"Today, the first round of the True Martial Sword Leader Meeting is the Sword Questioning Test. The sword questioners who appear on the stage are the thirty sword cultivators selected from the Sword Leader List."

"Please invite all the sword cultivators of the size of the sky to appear!"

Immediately, streaks of sword light flew up from the seats where the sword cultivators were competing under the Wenjian Ping, and landed on the Sword Ping one after another.

Everyone sitting on the seats recognized Dugu Qingxiao standing in the east of Jianping at a glance.

Zhao Linglong immediately said nervously:

"Second Master, just listen to my junior sister's advice. Don't take the initiative to ask Cui Tiegu about the sword, or choose to refuse when Cui Tiegu asks you about the sword."

In this Sword Questioning, in addition to the three Sword Questioning Tokens each sword cultivator has, they also have a Fighting Sword Token.

After showing this order to stop fighting, you can refuse a monk's sword request.

That's why Zhao Linglong said this.

At this time, the elder guarding Qilin Peak said loudly again:

"Everyone, please hold your sword-asking orders in the palm of your hand. The order of the sword-asking orders will be selected by the sword leader."

After he finished speaking, thirty sword cultivators, including Dugu Qingxiao, all raised the Sword Asking Order in their hands.

"Zheng!"

next moment.

Accompanied by the sound of a sword, it suddenly exploded over Qilin Peak like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

The sword-asking orders held up in the hands of thirty sword cultivators suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.

Immediately, the dazzling golden light began to turn into golden smoke, gathering in the sky above the Golden Scale Peak.

In just an instant, the golden smoke gathered into a name——

"Cui Tiegu."

After seeing this name, the monks in the surrounding stands burst into an uproar.

Even most of the twenty-nine monks on Jianping had expressions of surprise.

Obviously, even these elite swordsmen who have obtained the Sword Asking Order do not want to be asked by Cui Tiegu.

As for Zhao Linglong in the stands, her heart suddenly rose to her throat when she saw Cui Tiegu selected from the sword leader list to be the first to question the sword.

In her opinion, Cui Tiegu would most likely choose to ask Dugu Qingxiao for swordsmanship.

While Xu Taiping was worried, he also took a serious look at Cui Tiegulai.

I saw this Cui Tiegu, with a long face, a head of gray hair casually pulled into a bun, a thin but tall figure, wearing only a gray gown that had been washed a little white, and an ebony sheath around his waist. The long sword hung loosely.

In addition, what people are most concerned about are his big feet without shoes.

Although he was tall, he still couldn't hold down his big feet.

"Pap, tap, tap!..."

At this time, Cui Tiegu walked towards the center of Jianping step by step with very heavy steps.

Although he seemed to be walking extremely slowly, the eyes of everyone in the stands could not keep up with his pace.

Finally, in just three or five steps, Cui Tiegu had already reached the center of the Jianping with a radius of a thousand feet.

This incredible pace and movement once again caused an uproar among the people in the stands.

After Fairy Lingyue stared at Cui Tiegu for a long time, she said with a hint of admiration in her tone:

"It is really rare to be able to cultivate one's body skills to such a natural level under the shackles of the cultivation of Wentian Realm."

Only monks who have reached the realm of Fairy Lingyue will understand that the cultivation of monks' steps and body skills is not just about speed.

"boom!"

At this time, Cui Tiegu took off his long sword with an ebony scabbard and slammed the scabbard on the ground. Then he held the hilt of the sword with both hands and glanced at Jianping with his turbid eyes. The twenty-nine monks standing at the edge.

Although Cui Tiegu at this moment did not deliberately release his power.

But when his gaze swept across, many sword cultivators lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

Among them, Dugu Qingxiao and a few sword cultivators are exceptions.

Several people were not afraid of Cui Tiegu's gaze, and looked at him with eyes that were neither humble nor arrogant.

After a long time, Cui Tiegu lifted up the ebony-sheathed long sword in his hand, pointed at Dugu Qingxiao who was facing him at the edge of the sword platform, and said: "Dugu Qingxiao, do you dare to take my sword?"

Although many monks were present, they had long known about the grudge between Dugu Qingxiao and Cui Tiegu.

Knowing that Cui Tiegu would most likely ask Jian Dugu Qingxiao.

But after Dugu Qingxiao said these words, there was still a commotion in the stands around Jianping.

Zhao Linglong in the stands turned pale after hearing this.

Amid the noise of the cultivators in the stands, Dugu Qingxiao's voice suddenly cut through the noise like a sharp sword - "Cui Tiegu, you are not asking for the sword. If you want to ask me for the sword, follow the rules of the Zhenwu Tianjian Kuihui."

As he spoke, Dugu Qingxiao took a step forward, as if waiting for Cui Tiegu to ask for the sword formally.

Zhao Linglong, who saw this scene, immediately said helplessly:

"Second Senior Brother, this is not a joke!"

Almost at the same time as Zhao Linglong's voice fell, Cui Tiegu's voice sounded again -

"The Great Emperor Zhenwu, the casual cultivator Cui Tiegu, today asks the Qingxuan Sect disciple Dugu Qingxiao for the sword!"

Cui Tiegu, who was standing in the middle of the sword platform, held a long sword in his hand, raised his head and bowed to the sky in a very solemn tone.

"Zheng!"

As soon as the voice fell, a sword sound suddenly rang out above Qilin Peak.

At the same time, the shadow of the Zhenwu Sword Champion flashed in the sky above Qilin Peak.

Seeing this, Zhao Linglong's heart sank.

The sound of the sword and the shadow of the Sword Champion clearly showed that the Sword Champion recognized Cui Tiegu's sword-asking.

Seeing this, Zhao Linglong clasped her hands again and said:

"Second Senior Brother, I beg you, please use the Stop the War Order to refuse this sword-asking, refuse this sword-asking!"

But just as Zhao Linglong finished speaking, Dugu Qingxiao's voice exploded on the Qilin Peak Sword Terrace -

"Zhenwu Great Emperor, Qingxuan Sect's disciple Dugu Qingxiao is willing to accept this sword!"
