Sometimes the difference between victory and defeat is not just about strength, because behind every choice, there are infinite unknowns.

Geng Qi's sword hit Liu Ying's blade firmly, but the force of the rebound was far less than expected. It was like a heavy hammer hitting catkins, with a low sound and continuous force.

Liu Ying's sword followed this blow, but like a grinning rattlesnake, the tip of the sword suddenly changed direction.

That was actually a soft sword! When Snake Letter swiped across Geng Qi's belt, the light in the latter's eyes was suddenly defeated, casting a layer of dark gray despair.

The two of them separated as soon as they touched each other in the air. Geng Qi, who landed on the ground, said nothing with a livid face. He held his waist tightly with his arms close to his body and strode away.

Some people with less knowledge did not understand what happened, but everyone with a discerning eye understood the embarrassment that Geng Qi had to cover up just now.

"Good! Very good! What do you think, Your Majesty?" Little Dragon King stood up with his palms raised, obviously very excited.

Before the prince could say anything, Qiongqi cupped his fists and said, "Prince, Qiongqi wants to give it a try."

"You?" The prince was so shocked that he straightened his limp body, "Seriously?"

Qiongqi nodded, and although his expression was hidden in the thick facial lines, no one could fail to read his determination.

"Don't strike too hard!" The prince warned cautiously, his outstretched fingers trembling slightly, revealing his concerns.

He knew Qiongqi too well, there was no victory or defeat, only life and death, and he didn't want to really cause death in a public place where the master of Snake Killing Villa was.

Qiongqi laughed loudly, "Don't worry, young master, Qiongqi has his own sense of proportion." After saying that, he walked straight towards Liu Ying.

"You just had a fierce fight, do you want to rest?"

Liu Ying felt the pressure from his opponent, which was far beyond what Geng Qi could compare to just now.

Winning against Gengqi is already seven points of luck. In this match against Xiongnu, the chances of winning are naturally slim. It can only be a single try.

So he slowly shook his head.

"It's good to know how to work hard! Please use the sword!" Qiongqi said without any nonsense, not even a superfluous word, and his tone did not have the air of a senior.

As long as both parties agree, it is fair, and both parties should complete the contest seriously and fairly.

This was the message conveyed by Qiongqi, and Liu Ying happened to understand it.

In other words, they are the same type of people.

Therefore, the seriousness on Liu Ying's face at this time was composed of respect and seriousness. Qiongqi happened to understand it.

Draw the sword first, and the sword shows no mercy. This is Liu Ying's way of showing respect.

Qiongqi grinned. The young man in front of him really liked him, so he couldn't show any weakness with his sword.

Then there was a flash of cold light.

Liu Ying was still where he was, but he stepped back in that flash of light, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

Qiongqi was still in the same place, never moving from beginning to end.

Liu Ying didn't even see clearly what the opponent's sword looked like, but he felt the murderous intent, cutting straight towards his empty door!

If you don't retreat, you can only die.

"I'm sorry, I should let you see my sword clearly, you deserve to see it.

But according to this method, the sword in the scabbard is the most unpredictable to the opponent, and the sword can mean life or death.

I drew my sword in the hope that it could still hide its power and not humiliate it."

Qiongqi slowly pulled out his long sword, and the scratching sound scratched the eardrums of everyone present.

The sword was clean and bright, obviously well-maintained, but its style was very simple and there was nothing eye-catching about it.

The blade of a long sword has a slight arc, so the friction sound when the sword is drawn will be noisier than that of a straight sword.

The scabbard was thrown aside by Qiongqi. He firmly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, bowed his waist slightly, and said please to Liu Ying.

Liu Ying nodded and suddenly rushed forward from the left.

Qiongqi's eyes were fixed on Liu Ying's sword-holding hand without any movement.

Liu Ying suddenly twisted around five feet in front of Qiongqi, and the sword was handed out from the right side. The cold light flashed again, and Liu Ying retreated again. The two of them landed on the same spot again.

"can you do it?"

Liu Ying was stunned by Qiongqi's question, and only heard the latter say, "I'm going to draw my sword!"

Qiongqi moved as fast as he could, like a rabbit taking off a rabbit, changing several steps in a row.

Liu Ying's eyes did not look at his opponent's footsteps, and he had no time to analyze the changes.

He just stared at the opponent's hand. Seeing Qiongqi exerting his strength to draw out the sword, the soft sword in his hand shook and passed through the top of the curved sword. The tip of the sword rolled down to suppress the opponent's sword.

Like a snake letter, it stabs the figure behind the sword wind.

This sword not only blocked the opponent's fierce incoming force, but also forced the opponent to make changes in his body skills. So Qiongqi retreated faster than when he came.

The two fell back to where they were. Qiongqi looked up to the sky and laughed, and actually said, "I lost!"

"What?" Everyone present was confused, even Liu Ying was confused.

"When I was young, I didn't have such a good understanding, and my swordsmanship was not as good as yours, so I lost. Since it was my challenge to you, the content of the challenge and the judgment of victory or defeat were mine. I lost." Qiongqi.

The assertion is straightforward and candid.

His swordsmanship is like that of a master, but he can still maintain such simplicity and simplicity, which is really rare.

"Senior is too modest. Just now, senior is giving guidance to juniors. Even though it is only a three-in-one, it is enough to last a lifetime."

"Yes, that's why I insisted on ending the game. You are very keen in observing the changes in your opponent's moves, which is why you can skillfully use the Gu Ying method, and at the same time, you are very decisive in your attacks. These two elements are exactly Xizong's moves.

The two most core requirements. If you are interested in learning Xizong swordsmanship, your future may not end today, and I am willing to do my part for this."

"Boom..." The crowd really exploded and started talking, which was very different from the whispers just now.

Xizong does not spread the word to outsiders. This is a rule known to everyone in the world.

At this time, Qiongqi actually expressed his intention to accept a disciple in front of everyone in the hall, which is really a strange thing in the world.

"This, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this, right?..." A Tiannu reminded at the side, he was probably a master of Xizong.

Qiongqi said proudly, "What's wrong?

The Xizong's talent had been withering before. Ultimately, it was due to being too attached to blood ties. In addition, the swordsmanship of this sect had strict requirements on talent.

There are very few people in the Ma family who can understand its profound meaning in every generation.

As a result, many excellent sword skills were lost and lost.

If things go on like this, we will not be able to protect the legacy of our ancestors.

During my stay at Zhan She Villa, I saw with my own eyes the various benefits brought about by Jian Zong’s wide-ranging source of resources and openness and interoperability.

If our sect continues to cling to its own status, how will it stand alongside the other four sects a hundred years later?

Now that there is such a good young man in front of me, can it be said that I should follow the example of King Li of Chu and abandon the good and hide myself?"

Qiongqi's words were spoken on this occasion, in front of many powerful people from all walks of life, including the young owner of Zhan She Villa, and the veteran sword slaves of various sects, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of their sect.

It can be seen that the speaker is not unintentional, and the listener is also not unintentional.

However, although Master Liu Shao and the other three evil slaves looked gloomy, none of them dared to speak sarcastically. This shows that this Qiongqi is no ordinary person.

Yuan Yu seemed to have remembered something and asked Liu Chengwu in a low voice, "Is Ma Zhexian, the Kongtong hermit who resigned as head of the Western Sect because of his excessive murderous intent, still in your village?"

The young owner of the village leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, you have good eyesight."

Yuan Yu was greatly surprised, "Given Ma Zhe's character back then, he could actually hide his name here and become a sword slave, killing snakes at the Villa..."

"Don't talk about right and wrong behind others! Back then, I went to the Snake Mountain Villa to have a sword fight with the King of Song. I lost one of his moves, and I am willing to admit defeat. I will never mention the false reputation I had before."

Qiongqi ignored the two of them, but asked Liu Ying, "What do you think, little brother?"

Liu Ying originally admired Qiongqi very much and had no intention of rejecting him.

But when I heard what Yuan Yu and the Young Master said just now, I was a little unsure about paying attention, "Senior. If you are really that senior, I'm afraid there is something wrong."

Qiongqi changed his color and said, "What? Do you think I have too many enemies in the world?"

"No, no! This junior knows that the current leader of the Western Sect, Ma Beizhen, is also a direct disciple of my senior. It would be inappropriate for this junior to learn swordsmanship from my senior!"

"Pedantry!" Qiongqi raised his eyebrows with a sullen look on his face.

Ma Zhexian was once a mythical figure in the world of martial arts. He was known as the Gentleman with a Smiling Face.

If he gets angry, it will be really unreasonable.

Xiao Longwang had a good impression of the two people on the field. When he saw that the momentum was not right, he laughed wildly and left the field. "Old hero, if you want to accept a disciple, it is naturally a good thing, but it is a bit unreasonable to accept a disciple here today.

.”

Qiongqi raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I don't know where I disobeyed the prince's wishes? I would like to hear the details."

The Little Dragon King clasped his hands in his fists and replied unhurriedly, "Senior, today Yuan Mou entrusted Snake Killing Villa to select a good teacher according to the rules of the world. This matter comes first.

Now that the selection has not yet ended, if the seniors cut off Hu and accept disciples, wouldn't this mess up my eagerness to choose a teacher?

Besides, people who are targeted by seniors can still find their way out of Wuzhishan?

It's just that everything has its own priorities. If today's seniors use their seniority to suppress others, it will be very embarrassing for Snake Killer Villa and Mr. Yuan."

If Xiao Long Wang uses his identity as a prince to suppress Qiong Qi, Qiong Qi will naturally not accept this trick.

But at this time, the other party was arguing with Jianghu rules and complained that he was using his seniority to suppress others. Qiongqi was speechless for a moment and could only respond,

"The young prince is right. Let's leave this matter aside for now. Brother Liu, I hope you will consider it seriously. I won't give up so easily." After saying this, he laughed and retreated behind the young master.

Liu Ying bowed to the Little Dragon King, the young master of the village, and King Guangling respectively, and then made a long bow to Qiongqi alone and stepped aside.
