“Shua shua shua! …”
As soon as as Zi Yan’s voice fell, she saw Xu Taiping’s seven shadows suddenly turn into seven dazzling saber lights.
These seven dazzling saber lights, seven consecutive slashes, each slash landed on that Lu Yuan, first cutting off the saber energy around his body.
“Shua!”
Then, these seven afterimages suddenly merged into one.
Xu Taiping, holding the long saber with both hands, appeared above the head of that Lu Yuan.
“Boom!”
He didn’t hesitate to slash down with a single strike.
“Peng!”
Although Lu Yuan exerted all his strength, he still couldn’t block this fatal blow, and his body flew backwards from the original place.
While flying out, the bodyprotecting gash around his body was cut open, and a big gash appeared on his chest.
“So satisfying!”
However, in the end, when he was about to fall off the ring, he stopped his figure and then roared.
Immediately, the “flames” around his body rose again, and he held the handle of the precious saber with both hands and shouted loudly:
“Fiery Flame Slash!”
“Boom!”
As soon as the words fell, the fluctuation of the atmosphere around his body suddenly surged like a tide.
The True Qi like “flames” boomed and spread out, and then all merged into the precious saber in his hand.
“Zheng!”
Amidst a harsh metallic tremor, Lu Yuan, who was one with the saber, suddenly turned into a saber shadow more than ten zhang long and slashed horizontally towards Xu Taiping in front of him.
“Boom!”
The terrifying saber shadow over ten zhang long swept across the arena like this.
“Swish!”
But at this moment, Xu Taiping and the long saber in his hand turned into a spinning silver saber glow together, like a flying saber breaking through the air, suddenly crossing the entire arena, breaking through Lu Yuan’s blazing saber qi like a flame while slashing at Lu Yuan’s body.
“Bang!”
Lu Yuan, who was caught off guard, was hit squarely in the chest by this saber.
“Crack!”
His life-saving breastplate also shattered.
Then a blood mist rose around his body, and his body was chopped by the huge force in Xu Taiping’s saber and flew backwards towards the outside of the arena in a straight line.
This saber also came from the Seven Kills Saber and was the second ultimate move of the Seven Kills Saber, the Absolute Kill Soul Chaser.
It could fly dozens of zhang in an instant and slash at the escaping opponent with one saber.
Both the examiners on the field and the onlookers watching off the field were dumbfounded.
Lu Yuan lost.
Not only did he lose, but he also lost in the saber technique.
The young person won.
Not only did he win, but he also won’t this round with the opponent’s most good at martial skills.
“The second ultimate move of the Seven Kills Saber, Life-taking, Soul Chasing…”
In front of the bronze mirror, after being dumbfounded for a long time, Ziyan muttered in disbelief with a face full of incredulity.
“To actually have someone learn these two moves within three years.”
She turned her head to look at Qingxiao who also had a look of surprise in his eyes.
“Senior Brother, is the Seven Kills Saber really that difficult?”
Xu Taiping defeated Zhao Linglong who had a look of joy on her face, and at this time also curiously looked at Qingxiao.
“Rather than saying it’s difficult, it’s better to say it’s stupid.”
Qingxiao thought for a while and then replied.
“Stupid?”
Zhao Linglong had a look of confusion on her face.
“The moves and mental method of the Seven Kills Saber are not complicated in themselves. Understanding them is even simpler than the Green Ox Fist. The difficulty lies in that you have to practice every single move extremely proficiently.”
“So proficient that the saber moves become an instinctive reaction of yours. It is to make your muscles and bones remember these moves, not your mind.”
“So to practice the Seven Kills Saber well, there is only one stupid way, and that is to keep practicing day after day, year after year without interruption for a single day until the moves are mastered.”
“And the two ultimate moves, Soul Chasing and Life Taking, can only be further practiced after the body remembers all the moves of the Seven Kills Saber. Its difficulty is like that of the foolish old man moving the mountain.”
“Therefore, many people say that this Seven Kills Saber is a saber technique for stupid people.”
Qingxiao very seriously explained to Zhao Linglong.
This kind of practice method is very boring. To practice the two ultimate moves within three years requires great perseverance.”
Zi Yan also nodded at this time.
After listening to the explanations of the two, Zhao Linglong was stunned for a moment first, and then looked at the slightly thin figure in the bronze mirror again.
How much has Little Taiping really devoted in these three years?
She suddenly found it a bit hard to imagine.
“Jiji!…”
Just at this time, a skylark with snow-white feathers came to the sky above the bamboo forest.
“This seems to be the messenger lark of your Sixth Peak Master.”
Qingxiao looked at the skylark, and then looked at Ziyan beside him.
“Well, it should be that the Peak Master has something to look for me.”
Ziyan nodded.
As she spoke, she stretched out a hand towards the skylark, took it down, and took off the letter on its foot.
“Sister Ziyan, what does your Peak Master want you for?”
Zhao Linglong looked at Ziyan curiously.
At this time, Xu Taiping had already won in the Dragon Gate Meeting, and her somewhat hanging heart was also relieved.
Ziyan glanced at the content of the letter, and then said with a smile:
“The Peak Master asked me to inquire about the news of Xu Taiping from you. If possible, she wants to ask you to make a match and let him go to our Sixth Peak.”
Obviously, the Sixth Peak Master already knew something about Xu Taiping’s past with the Seventh Peak.
“Impossible!”
Zhao Linglong refused flatly, and then pulled Ziyan’s hand and said:
“You go and tell that bad woman that Xu Taiping is a disciple of the Seventh Peak, and let her give up this idea.”
When Zi Yan heard Zhao Linglong call their own Peak Master a “bad woman”, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing with a “poof”.
Then she patted Zhao Linglong’s shoulder and said:
“Alright, I will tell the Peak Master about these things, but…”
Halfway through her words, she suddenly turned her head to look at Qing Xiao and smiled again, saying:
“Based on Taiping’s performance today, I’m afraid not only our Sixth Peak, but also the other five Peaks will probably send people to contact him and offer him better conditions than our Sixth Peak. What do you think he will choose?”
Upon hearing this, Qing Xiao immediately furrowed his brows.
And Zhao Linglong beside him, after hearing this, suddenly also realized this problem.
She thought in her heart that if Taiping really stood out from the selection, he would probably be fought over by all the Peaks together, right? Their Seventh Peak ranked the lowest among all the Peaks. Would Taiping really choose them?
“Don’t worry. At least before the last Seven Peaks Meeting, Taiping won’t make any choice.”
Qing Xiao glanced at Zhao Linglong, who had a worried look on her face, and smiled faintly.
Zhao Linglong thought for a while, and then very freely spread her hands and said: “If Taiping doesn’t choose the Seventh Peak at that time, I can also understand. Who made my father such a lazy person and always come last in the Seven Peaks Competition every year? He even said it was called being indifferent to fame and fortune, which caused the best medicine garden and spirit beasts to be taken away by the other six Peaks.”
“If Master hears what you said, I’m afraid you’ll be put in confinement for half a year again.”
Qingxiao couldn’t help but smile wryly.
“You must never tell him.”
Youdaoplaceholder0 that she had slipped her tongue, Zhao Linglong quickly instructed Qingxiao.
“It’s still too early for us to talk about this.”
Qingxiao shook his head, and then took out a painting scroll from his bosom, spread it out on the table and said:
“This list was obtained by me from a senior brother who is in charge of the examination this morning. The seven people on this list were originally the candidates I predicted who could finally become formal disciples, but now that Lu Yuan has to be removed.”
He raised his hand and wiped the portrait of Lu Yuan, erasing it from the scroll, and then continued: “And among the remaining six people, if Taiping meets them, the probability of winning is less than 30%.”
