He was wearing a simple yet elegant sword robe with a dark green base and moon-white edges, with clouds surrounding him behind him and a green flying sword under his feet, as if he was a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Almost all the important people who came could be recognized at a glance, although the image of the visitor had changed, such as changing her hairstyle and tying her long black hair up high, which gave people a brand new feeling, from a girl to a woman.
Su Ruoli from the Divine Strategy Mansion.
This girl who seemed only a pretty vase when Bai Yu was around, showed her talents in the half year after he left. She seemed to have the potential to revive the sword art of Da Xia and restore the world after eight generations of decline.
Her appearance here is both strange and reasonable.
As early as the palace examination, the whole capital city tacitly accepted that Su Ruoli was Bai Yu's future daughter-in-law; even though Bai Yu was gone, it was impossible for Su Ruoli to ignore Bei Ming Yao's safety.
Coincidentally, when the Shen Ce Mansion went out to Xuan Tian Si for team building to improve performance, the Su sisters both disappeared, suspected to be guarding Bai Yu's body.
Now that he suddenly appeared here, it was hard for Nangong Shan to doubt whether this had been planned in advance.
She secretly thought that Bei Mingque looked like an icy-faced innocent man, but in reality he was as bad-intentioned as a kitten!
Su Ruoli came flying on a sword, looking extremely impressive. Nowadays, swordsmanship has been weak for too long and few people can see the elegance of flying on a sword... Actually, this can also be blamed on Huo Qiushui for establishing the Martial Saint Pavilion and spreading its influence. From then on, swordsmanship is much easier to learn than swordsmanship.
"How are you?"
"I won't die." Bei Mingque said, "It's just that my cultivation base increased too quickly, and my meridians have frozen... I need to thaw it for a while."
"Running water never rots, but rotten grass turns into fireflies."
Su Ruoli shot out a sword energy that shot into Bei Mingque's back. The latter instantly felt relaxed all over his body, and the cold air around him gushed out hundreds of feet high.
Bei Mingque felt that the sword energy passed through his body without damaging his tendons and foundation at all. What a great control he had.
Then, incredible thoughts came to mind.
"You, have you already..."
"As you think."
Su Ruoli raised his head and drew his sword towards the sky. The sword instantly tore through the atmosphere above the capital.
"I am already a land immortal."
"From now on, I will be the number one swordsman in Daxia."
Chapter 876: Sword Saint's Happy End, White Clothes Guard the National Gate
Autumn Wind and Autumn Rain, perhaps the two strongest swordsmen in Daxia, were less than thirty steps apart.
A goose-feather knife against a pair of dragon and snake swords.
Perception spreads.
Huo Qiu Shui stared at the young man in front of him. He didn't know that the other party was Qianji Rakshasa, the third of the Ten Evils, nor did he understand the other party's moves; but Huo Qiu Shui's swordsmanship had already been finalized over the years and could be studied and researched.
Even the most powerful boss will fall in front of the challenger because his moves are seen through. This is also a destined fate.
No matter how strong a warrior is, once his moves are formed and finalized, his swordsmanship will become outdated. As swordsmanship is constantly updated from generation to generation, sooner or later someone will launch a targeted fighting style against his swordsmanship.
Qianji Luosha has been trying to seize Huo Qiu Shui's position as the leader of swordsmen for so many years in order to kill him, so it is impossible for him to be unprepared. He must have come here with enough confidence and a way to break the sword skills of the Sword Saint.
The Sword Master knew this very well.
He has been the sword master for so many years, and there has been no shortage of challengers in the past. Everyone has tried to crack his sword skills, but in the end no one has succeeded. After the next hundred years, not even a challenger can be seen.
Huo Qiu Shui had not experienced this kind of life-and-death fight in the ring for many years. His swordsmanship was known to the opponent, but the opponent was a complete unknown to him. Judging from his movements and postures, he had no way of judging the direction of the opponent's swordsmanship.
Should we end the game decisively or observe for a while longer?
Huo Qiushui pondered in his heart. After the Sword Saint finally calculated thousands of different sword-drawing sequences, he no longer hesitated. He expected that the opponent's first sword attack would be to step out with his left leg, then cut horizontally and then slash...
Clang——!
The dragon and snake swords slashed out, and the fight between the two top swordsmen was not fancy at all, and went straight into the close combat stage.
The fights between martial saints are always quick and decisive.
The Martial Saint focuses on attack, is not good at defense, has no sanctuary, and his skill effects are plain and simple, all adding are critical hits and burst damage!
Therefore, the fight between martial saints looks very similar to the duel between top masters, and usually the victory or defeat is determined by just one crucial move!
Qianji Luosha stepped forward with his left foot, bent down and launched a charge. He changed his left hand from an overhand grip to an overhand grip, turned his body, and swung the Viper Sword across, like a flash of white lightning, a very fast horizontal slash. At the same time, his right hand was also ready, and he launched an upward slash almost at the same time as the horizontal slash.
It was exactly the same as the sword technique route that the Sword Saint had silently calculated in his mind, except that the speed was slightly faster than he expected, but it was not a big deal.
Huo Qiu Shui stabbed the Yanling knife to the ground, and slapped the tip of the knife with his palm. The Yanling knife went three inches into the ground. The Viper Sword slashed forward, but was blocked in the middle. The upward slash that Qianji Luosha's right hand burst out was also blocked in the middle, because the Sword Saint kicked the back of the knife, and the Yanling knife flew out of his hand, flying forward like a blade roller.
Dang Dang Dang——!
A series of metal collision sounds were heard, and the Sword Saint leaned forward, grabbed the rolling goose-feather knife, and wielded the knife like the wind. The sword danced so densely that it was impenetrable. This close-range knife move looked quite ordinary and simple, but if one underestimated the power of the sword, one would surely die miserably.
The Wandering Sword does not emphasize the use of hands to move the sword, but uses the various joints of the body to replace the hands to move the sword, keeping the flying sword within three meters of the body, and can reach the position you want the blade to reach at any time. Combined with the Martial Saint's terrifying close combat ability, it is quite terrifying. In the past, Huo Qiushui relied on the Wandering Sword to break the gun circle of the Gun Devouring Ghost at close range! This is also the reason why the Gun Devouring Ghost has been circling the Sword Saint, and he can't break this Wandering Sword.
However, this almost flawless Youshen Sword was interrupted and repelled after just three strikes. The smooth sword movement was blocked. The two swords of Qianji Luosha were used in parallel, but it still looked like a very ordinary attack route. There was nothing special about it, and it was even not as spiritual as Lin Haiya.
But the Youshen Sword was broken.
This is because……
"His knife has become faster?" Huo Qiu Shui felt strange, and then he twisted his wrist and cut out an arc with the knife, which looked like a full moon.
The sword's path was blocked as soon as the full moon drew a half-moon. Qianji Luosha intercepted it with his left hand sword and stabbed at Huo Qiu Shui's armpit with his right hand sword.
The Sword Master felt even more strange. Even if he knew his sword skills well, he shouldn't have such a strong perception and be able to intercept in advance.
He changed the way he held the Yanling knife from his right hand to his left hand, and while passing by, he performed the cutting technique. There were moves in the Qi family sword that were specifically designed to target Japanese sword techniques. By chopping the middle of the blade, the blade could be cut off... Because Qianji Rakshasa was the child of Tokugawa Sen Gozen, there were inevitably traces of Japanese sword techniques in his sword techniques.
Qianji Luosha was very smart. He switched the blades in his left and right hands, and used the Chilong Sword to block the blow. The relatively fragile and narrow Viper Sword stabbed towards Huo Qiu Shui's throat from under the sleeve, but the Sword Saint pinched the blade tightly with his thumb and index finger.
Bah, bah, bah—!
The sound of metal friction was heard, and the sound of metal colliding was heard as the Viper Sword stabbed and pulled out, the sound of iron and stone was harsh and sharp.
Qianji Luosha really pulled out the knife in front of Huo Qiu Shui, then he spun and leaped up, his body turned into a big wheel, and every knife strike was a critical hit. He slashed at Huo Qiu Shui more than twenty times in a row, each knife forced him to take a step back, and he retreated more than thirty meters away. His feet sank directly into the ground, leaving only his ankles.
This is truly incredible.
The Sword Saint is not only the leader in swordsmanship, but also the undisputed number one in the art of fighting. He is a Martial Saint who has lived for more than two hundred years. In an era when there were no Sword Leaders or Spear Leaders, he was the number one Martial Saint in Daxia. However, he was suppressed by Thousand Machine Rakshasa and was slashed with more than thirty swords, leaving him unable to fight back.
When Bai Yu was facing two Martial Saints at the same time on the Yellow River, he didn't do this. He just used every move back and forth in an orderly manner... But seeing that Huo Qiu Shui couldn't fight back, Qianji Luosha waved his two swords with extreme ferocity, as if he was madly facing a duelist who had used up all the cards in his hand and couldn't draw any cards. He was ruthless and showed no mercy.
This wasn't because Huo Qiu Shui was letting himself go, but because he couldn't find the opportunity to draw his sword... Qianji Luosha's sword was simply too fast.
Even for a Martial Saint, there is an upper limit to his attack speed, and there is an upper limit to his reflex speed... A Martial Saint can shatter the void, but that is destructive power, not speed.
Usually when one reaches the realm of Martial Saint, what everyone devotes their heart and soul to is how to manifest their own dominance, and to embody it through martial arts moves, reaching perfection... but they do not pursue greater speed and destructive power.
But Qianji Luosha is different. Every one of his sword strikes is within Huo Qiu Shui’s calculation. But starting from the first sword strike, he is always ahead of Huo Qiu Shui in reaction, always one step faster than him, one step ahead, step by step!
Eventually, the lead increased to the point where the opportunity for counterattack was completely reduced, completely suppressing Huo Qiu Shui's possibility of counterattack.
If you must say it, it is similar to Luohou's first arrow that reached the pinnacle of his skill.
Huo Qiu Shui really didn't know how fast Qianji Luosha's double swords could be before the attack was over, but if he took a few more blows, he would not even be eligible to exchange injuries for injuries.
He acted decisively and tried to cut off the opponent's continuous sword attack even at the risk of getting injured.
You won’t let me draw my sword?
I will use my sword even if I get hurt!
Huo Qiu Shui put down his goose-feather knife and took a blow on his left shoulder. The blow hit the sword saint hard, and the blade of the viper cut into half of his shoulder, breaking his shoulder blade. The relatively fragile physique of the martial saint was completely exposed by this blow.
Most of his left shoulder was cut off, and with one cut, one could almost see the blood spurting out of the lungs and the broken ribs.
Qianji Luosha's second knife aimed at the neck, but he was too late to make a move because the Sword Saint paid the price of being injured in exchange for the first knife.
——Cross the river!
The peerless martial arts skill instantly broke the deadlock.
There are three cuts to cross the river.
The first sword strike was "Crossing the River", and the sword's momentum was powerful... The Yanling Sword and the Chilong Sword collided, and the space collapsed the moment the weapons crossed.
Qianji Luosha's double swords paused briefly, and then danced again, and the speed was still faster than before!
Huo Qiu Shui didn't have time to catch his breath before slashing out with the second knife.
——Rampant!
The pawns crossing the river can run rampant!
Run rampant without restraint and sweep through thousands of enemies!
The knife was a horizontal slash, and in the instant it was pushed out, all the grass, trees and buildings within a hundred meters were cut in half!
Compress the knife force to the extreme and strike from all directions.
But this knife also has a flaw, which is that it cannot defend the back.
Because once a pawn has crossed the river it cannot turn back.
The price of being rampant is that you can't turn back.
Qianji Luosha naturally knew the flaw in this sword, but he chose to take on the second sword instead of avoiding its edge and going around to the back, because the flaw in the back was not a real flaw. The flaw in the back concealed the third sword that could destroy the world.
Therefore, he decided to decide the outcome before the third strike!
Amidst the sword power that was rampant in all directions, Qianji Luosha turned his two swords, whirling and flashing around the center, and the sword light rotated around his body, brewing some kind of terrifying divine power... It was by no means a simple move to shatter the void, but was more like the terrifying attainments of a seeker's inner and outer manifestations.
Obviously, he had already used his own unique martial arts, but it was too simple and too single.
The only feature is speed!
The Sword Master could no longer grasp the location of Thousand Machine Rakshasa at this time. He closed his eyes and gathered all his strength for the third strike.
--overbearing!
This is the third knife for crossing the river, which can repel immortals and demons and can kill saints.
Once it is swung out, it will be a mighty power that can cause the Yellow River to flow backwards and split Shu in one stroke.
pity……
Huo Qiu Shui couldn't make this cut.
The two knives appeared in the most suitable position again. The Viper Knife cut off the knife's route, creating a flaw and pause that should not have appeared. The Chilong Knife cut into the flaw and gap, breaking the solid knife force, like removing armor with one knife.
Huo Qiushui's middle door opened and was slashed in the center of his chest by the two knives. The knife wound immediately spread and blood gushed out. The figure of the withered sword saint staggered backwards continuously. He was about to make a third strike, but was hit on the head by the two knives. This time, the back of the knife was used, but his crown was damaged and his gray hair turned dark red.
Before the Sword Saint's knees touched the ground, he used his sword to support his body and refused to kneel down, his body trembling constantly.
The sword master for more than two hundred years, the number one martial saint in Daxia...all these titles have become a thing of the past today and at this moment.
He looked at the pair of dragon-snake swords, a myriad of emotions welling up in his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, he wanted to say something, but it was stuck in his throat... A myriad of emotions flashed through his eyes, regret, sadness, pity, unwillingness... and finally turned into calmness and acceptance.
In fact, as a warrior, being defeated here today is not unacceptable.
In his life, he had experienced the ultimate glory of being enthroned as the emperor, but also the sadness of his family's misfortune and decline.
In the end, the bloodline that survived came to seek revenge, and he died in a fair duel of life and death...
It's all due to cause and effect.
Qianji Luosha said in a low voice: "I won... why don't you cry?"
Huo Qiushui said dully: "I am a warrior. I died at the peak of my career. I died by the sword. It is considered a good death."
Qianji Luosha sneered, "A good end?! After you die, the next ones to go are Zhonghu and the Huo family, and then the Wusheng Pavilion... until everything you left behind is destroyed. You are dead, but you have left such a great disaster for future generations. Do you still think it is a good end!"
Huo Qiu Shui's eyes had begun to blur, and then the blurred vision suddenly became clear again.
In the blurry scene, he was the only one who saw a figure approaching and standing there. His clothes seemed to be shining. He was standing in the night, but the surroundings were as bright as day, and the clouds in the sky dissipated.
Someone used a sword to split the sea of clouds, and the drizzling rain turned into a bright moon.
"..."
The Sword Saint stared at the young man silently and opened his mouth.
The young man in white seemed to understand what he meant. He nodded slightly to the old man and gave him a thumbs up in reassurance.
Huo Qiu Shui seemed to have figured something out.
He let out a delighted laugh.
This serious and old-fashioned old man laughed like a child for the first time in his life.
He closed his eyes while laughing, supported the knife with both hands, and died with a smile on his face.
