“Examiner, I’m ready.”
At this time, Xu Taiping turned his head and looked at the examiner not far away.
“I’m also ready.”
Lu Yuan also spoke up to signal at this time.
At this time, the confusion on his face had disappeared, and instead, it was full of curiosity and excitement.
He thought to himself, interesting. I have been in Yunlu Mountain for seven years, and there are few people at the foot of the mountain who dare to use a knife in front of me anymore.
“Since both of you are ready, then let the competition begin.”
The supervising examiner loudly announced a sentence, and then with a wave of his arm, he rang the gong beside him with a “clang” sound.
“Ceng!”
“Ceng!”
Almost at the same time as the gong sounded, the long knives of Xu Taiping and Lu Yuan were unsheathed at the same time.
The two knife qi were like two suddenly blowing strong winds, whistling out from the east and west sides of the ring respectively, and finally collided with a “clang” sound.
“Boom!”
Amid the collision sound and the air explosion sound, the blades of Xu Taiping and Lu Yuan touched and then separated immediately, and their figures flew back to their original positions at the same time.
Obviously, this knife strike was used by both of them to test the reality of the other party, and neither of them used their full strength.
But this one-touch-and-separate strike made the disciples watching the battle off the field boil.
“This young person really knows how to use a knife!”
“Although it was only one knife strike, it already has quite a bit of skill and doesn’t look like someone who has just started using a knife.”
Xu Taiping, of course, was not using a knife for the first time.
In these two years, in order to have more trump cards in the Seven Peaks Selection, he has spent a great deal of energy on practicing the Seven Kills Saber.
Coupled with Lingyue’s guidance beside him, the speed of progress is quite remarkable.
“We still underestimated Taiping.”
In front of the bronze mirror, Qingxiao’s mouth raised after seeing this scene, and the tense expression suddenly relaxed.
“Besides practicing boxing, little Taiping also practiced saber. Has he ever rested in these three years?”
Zhao Linglong had a look of horror on her face.
“The situation is still not optimistic. Taiping has only been practicing saber for at most three years, while that Lu Yuan has practiced for at least twenty years, and there is also a famous teacher beside him. His foundation is not comparable to Taiping’s.”
Zi Yan still didn’t look favorably on Xu Taiping.
“Boom!”
But as if refuting her words, in the bronze mirror, Xu Taiping, who had been pacing and confronting Lu Yuan with a saber for a long time, suddenly twisted his footwork, and his figure rushed towards Lu Yuan like a gust of wind. Then the fine steel long saber in his hand slashed diagonally upwards from bottom to top.
Facing this saber strike, that Lu Yuan was also prepared.
I saw that the precious saber in his hand, while the saber light flowed like a raging flame, slashed down towards Xu Taiping’s saber edge. However, the momentum of his saber strike was far more powerful than that of Xu Taiping. The golden saber shadow transformed by the saber energy was even several feet long. If one was slashed by it, they would be either dead or seriously injured.
And just as Zhao Linglong and the others’ hearts were in their throats, Xu Taiping’s blade suddenly turned, and the blade and the man merged into one, turning into a dazzling blade light. With a “boom”, he flew past that Lu Yuan and appeared behind him while dodging Lu Yuan’s blade edge.
In the perspective of the bronze mirror overlooking, the blade light around Lu Yuan that had not yet had time to disappear was like a full moon.
And in the moment when the full moon was drawn, Xu Taiping suddenly held the handle of the knife with both hands and slashed down from behind Lu Yuan with a boom.
”Bang!”
Although at the critical moment, Lu Yuan finally reacted and his knife to take this blow he was still shocked by the huge force transmitted from Xu Taiping’s long knife and took several steps back in succession before stabilizing his figure.
”This is the sixth kill of the Seven Kills Saber, the Full Moon!”
Zi Yan exclaimed.
”In just two years, he has actually learned the Full Moon?”
She had a look of disbelief on her face.
As a top-notch martial art of the Qingxuan Sect, although the Seven Kills Saber has good power, it is easy to learn but difficult to master. Many outer disciples have learned it for two or three years and often haven’t even learned the third or fourth kill, let alone the Full Moon, which is one of the most difficult among the seven kills.
”Little Taiping really had a plan!”
Zhao Linglong was so excited that she kept patting the table.
The move of Full Moon involves luring the enemy, evading the enemy, and slashing the enemy. These three steps must be completed in one go. Without thousands of practices, it is impossible to be so smooth. It seems that Little Taiping has indeed put in a lot of hard work for this Seven Peaks Selection.”
Qingxiao’s gaze towards Xu Taiping in the bronze mirror suddenly became serious.
“But relying solely on this move of Full Moon, he won’t be able to defeat Lu Yuan’s Blazing Sun Saber.”
He then added another sentence.
Just as Qingxiao said, after being hit by that move of Full Moon, Lu Yuan instead became excited and began to attack with all his strength.
“Rumble…”
As a result, the saber shadows of the Blazing Sun Saber, like golden flames, began to dance all over the field, forcing Taiping to continuously retreat and only having the ability to defend.”
The situation of the two sides reversed in an instant.
“Although the Seven Kills Saber is also considered a top-notch martial skill, it is still much inferior to the Blazing Sun Saber. Unless he can master the complete Seven Kills Saber and then practice those two ultimate moves, otherwise, he has no chance of winning.”
Ziyan said with a frown.
“Maybe Little Taiping will surprise us again.”
Zhao Linglong, who was staring closely at the bronze mirror, suddenly said excitedly.
At this time, she suddenly had great confidence in Xu Taiping.
And this time, neither Qingxiao nor Ziyan refuted.
Even the two of them also began to look forward to it, and their eyes were tightly fixed on the bronze mirror in the front of them.
“Boom!”
In the bronze mirror, on the Heaven Rank arena.
Xu Taiping merged his body with the saber light and flew out when Lu Yuan’s saber edge swept past. While narrowly avoiding this saber strike, he once again used the Six Kills Full Moon to circle behind him.
Junior Brother Xu, the same move is useless against me, Lu Yuan!
At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly shouted loudly with his back facing Xu Taiping.
As his voice fell, his body suddenly spun around like a top.
“Boom!”
In an instant, One by one golden saber shadows like the sun suddenly blooming with ten thousand rays of the sun. suddenly spread out towards the west and north.
“Bang!”
Xu Taiping’s Full Moon was first broken by these One by one flying saber shadows.
“Whoosh!”
But just as the Full Moon was broken, Xu Taiping’s figure suddenly disappeared from the original place.
“Shua!”
Then, Xu Taiping’s seven afterimage suddenly surrounded Lu Yuan from all directions.
“It’s actually the Killing Blow of the Seven Kills Saber!
Seeing this scene, Zi Yan in front of the bronze mirror suddenly stood up and said in a tone of some disbelief.
