Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 192
In fact, the martial arts handed down by the Shi family has never been known for being strong and domineering. Instead, it follows the route of agility and flexibility to overcome strength with softness.

For example, the Shi family's ancestral exercise is called "Luozhao Yanguang Jue";
For example, the ancestral movement method of the Shi family is called "Falling Flowers and Flying Catkins";
Another example is the Shi family's ancestral swordsmanship, which is called "Colorful Clouds and Light Rain Sword";
It's a pity that Shi Xiaohan's temperament has become particularly rebellious since she entered puberty.

She doesn't like to practice swords with her father. Instead, she insists on going to the Exorcist Department of Qingzhou Prefecture to exchange the "Kunwu Sword" which is more than one meter long and weighs more than ten kilograms, and the "Overlord Sword Technique" which is famous for its fierceness. I think these things can better highlight her "heroic temperament".

Because Shi Lei was worried that she would not be able to get married, he begged her in letters more than once, hoping that she could learn some more ladylike moves.

But Shi Xiaohan has always been disapproving of what he said, and repeatedly said that "this heroine has long since given up being that damn lady", "ghosts are immortal, and I will never marry".

Of course, just because she likes "Bawang's Sword Art" doesn't mean she only knows "Bawang's Sword Art".

Since she is determined to be the ultimate winner tonight, she doesn't mind sacrificing a little bit of the domineering and fierce "hero" character.

So, she used the "Falling Flowers and Flying Catkins" sword technique, and stepped back quickly with light steps.

The smoke condensed by Qi Yuanshan's sword energy exploded instantly at the position where she was standing, bursting out with extremely majestic power.

Shi Xiaohan's eyes froze slightly.

She knew that if she didn't dodge in time, she would definitely be severely injured at the moment when the sword energy exploded.

…………

offstage.

Qi Yan, a young man in white, glanced at Gu Xu with a surprised expression: "You're right. I really don't know her well enough."

Gu Xu smiled: "Xiaohan has been staying in Yishui County to kill ghosts for the past few years, and has no experience of competing with Daqi Tianjiao. It's normal that his reputation is not obvious."

"Do you think she can win this competition?"

"In the next round, she will definitely win."

"You have so much confidence in her?"

"To be precise, I have confidence in the difficulty of "Ping Tian Jian Jue"."

"How difficult is "Ping Tian Jian Jue"?" Qi Yan obviously didn't understand Gu Xu's words.

""Pingtian Sword Art" is indeed the secret of the Jiange. Its power is really extraordinary. Just learn a little bit of it, and it is enough to defeat monks of the same realm." Gu Xu looked at the ring and analyzed lightly, " However, it is extremely difficult to completely conquer a high-grade martial art.

"If you can't fully comprehend the true meaning of the Dao, not only will the moves you use be full of loopholes, but it will also consume a lot of true energy.

"The name 'Ping Tian Jian Jue' is taken from the poem left by the ancestor of Jiange before his ascension - 'The three-foot sword in the box on the back is the sky and shows the injustice'. The sword of Jiange Su Xiao is called The natal sword of the 'Three Foot Sword' also got its name from this.

"If I'm not mistaken, the true meaning of "Ping Tian Jian Jue" lies in the chivalry of hatred and hatred, and the determination to eradicate violence and bring peace to the good.

"However, Qi Yuanshan's sword style didn't give me such a feeling.

"On the contrary, I think he is using power to overwhelm others - this obviously goes against the true meaning of "Ping Tian Jian Jue".

"So, after performing the first two moves of "Ping Tian Jian Jue", Qi Yuanshan should be exhausted.

"However, although Shi Xiaohan's moves are only middle-grade, she has mastered them very skillfully - the power she can display in her hands is no less than Qi Yuanshan's half-baked sword moves."

Qi Yan listened carefully to his analysis, and looked at him with more surprise.

Although Qi Yan already knew that Gu Xu was well-read and understood all the world's Taoism, law and martial arts.

But now, while watching the battle, Gu Xu directly analyzed the "true meaning of the Dao", which still surprised Qi Yan very much.

Qi Yan took a deep breath.

"In my impression, it seems that Mr. Gu also masters a very powerful high-grade spell?"

""Seven Forms of Burning Heaven"," Gu Xu replied calmly, he knew it was no secret in the capital, "but I am not talented, and I only mastered its first form by luck."

Qi Yan stopped talking.

…………

While they were talking, the competition between the two on the ring was still going on.

After Shi Xiaohan avoided the opponent's sword intent, he didn't give the opponent time to breathe.

While Qi Yuanshan was in a trance, she waved the "Kunwu Saber" in her hand again.

But this time, what she used was not the "Overlord's Saber Technique", but the moves in "Colorful Clouds and Light Rain Sword".

It seems incredible to use a sword that weighs more than ten catties to perform such a dexterous sword technique as "Colorful Clouds and Light Rain Sword".

However, the "Kunwu Saber" in her hands at the moment seemed very light and elegant.

It was only because she was too familiar with the "Colorful Clouds and Light Rain Sword".

Since she started practicing, Shi Lei has been teaching her how to practice this set of swordsmanship, and accompanied her to practice day after day.

She had already engraved it firmly in her bones.

Even if the sword is replaced with a branch, a wooden stick, or a broom, she can fully display this set of sword skills.

As Gu Xu said, the first two moves of "Ping Tian Jian Jue" consumed a lot of Qi Yuanshan's real energy.

Qi Yuanshan was already unable to use its follow-up moves.

He could only rely on muscle memory to use the basic sword style of Jiange, trying to resist Shi Xiaohan's attack.

But his movements were still slow.

The sharp edge of "Kunwu Knife" soon pointed at Qi Yuanshan's throat like a ghost.

Qi Yuanshan was stunned for two seconds.

Then he looked at Shi Xiaohan who was opposite, and said sincerely: "I lost.

"Miss Shi's moves are both rigid and soft, I admire them very much."

"Your Excellency's swordsmanship also impresses me deeply." Shi Xiaohan put away the knife and complimented him.

"I heard that when Miss Shi was in Yishui County, she was a colleague of Mr. Gu who saved the Qingzhou Mansion." Qi Yuanshan pondered for a moment, then made another request to Shi Xiaohan, "If you see him, can you help me?" Give him a word?"

"It's easy to do, of course." Shi Xiaohan nodded.

"My senior brother Su Xiao is very interested in Master Gu," Qi Yuanshan continued, "he will come to the capital in the near future to participate in the Luoshui Conference. He hopes to meet Master Gu during the Luoshui Conference. Master Gu discusses the profound meaning of the Great Dao."

"no problem."

After hearing Shi Xiaohan's affirmative answer, Qi Yuanshan turned and walked down the high platform.

Today's battle has benefited him a lot.

He decided to retreat and think about it before the Luoshui Conference, trying to improve the flaws in his swordsmanship as much as possible.

…………

At the same time, Qi Yan once again glanced at Gu Xu next to him with meaningful eyes.

Gu Xu has not yet appeared on stage today.

But his name has been resounding over Luoshui over and over again.

PS: Sorry for being a little bit Calvin, this chapter is a bit late.There will be another chapter later.
