Chapter six hundred and sixty fourth sword guard(1/6)
Since the battle with Ku Mu who had just left the seclusion that day, both Zhang Wuji and Qingtan have begun to practice crazy during the period when the Dao Enlightenment Competition is about to begin.
Even though Qingtan, who is usually a little lazy, got up early in the morning to practice swordsmanship in the past few days, and she remembered what Ku Mu said to her at that time and dared not forget it.
Yes.
Her Qingtan's talent is also extremely outstanding. If she had half of Zhang Wuji's hard work, now she would have at least one more level of cultivation.
Some of the people who were already far inferior to her in the past are now gradually getting closer and closer to her, and some of them are now almost the same as her.
These facts were clearly placed in front of Qingtan. Even if Qingtan was unwilling to face them, it was difficult for her to control her thoughts.
This priest-winning competition is the most anticipated session in recent years.
Although the previous Taoist proof competitions also gathered the enthusiastic participation of countless talented sword cultivators in the world at that time, compared with the genius sword cultivators in this era, the past Taoist proof competitions have become much dimmer.
Even in the era when the sword saint Feng Buping was the only one who was the most powerful genius. Apart from him, there are very few genius sword cultivators.
Let’s look at the current generation’s enlightenment competition.
There are no less than a hundred genius sword cultivators who can make their names known, and some of the best among them may have the foundation and qualification to win the leader in the past enlightenment competition.
In today's era, the top 12 games are a hurdle that they cannot overcome in their hearts.
The three swords of Nanli will naturally not take the top 12 games in mind.
Of course, it is also the premise that Ai Song also came to participate in the competition.
Because among the three major swords, to be honest, only Ai Song and Ku Mu can be considered to be truly true without having to take the top 12 games in mind.
And as for Qingtan?
Qingtan is slightly weaker. Although she is also one of the popular candidates for the top leaders of this year, she is not sure when facing the sword cultivators in the world.
As for Zhang Wuji, who is much weaker than the three major swords, if he can reach that level, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Wuji will completely correct the name of the registered disciples of Nanli Jianling Jian Pavilion in the eyes of the world.
But, the difficulty of the top 12 matches is as high as the sky. Zhang Wuji knows how strong he is. Even in the top 40, he is a little overwhelming, let alone the top 12 matches?
Will Zhang Wuji retreat if he knows that the road ahead is difficult?
Now, at least I definitely won't.
After experiencing it from Ku Mu, Zhang Wuji also clearly realized how much difference he was from the top sword cultivator of this era.
However, this blow is nothing to him now.
Just do your best. As a disciple of Jiange, although he is only a registered name, Zhang Wuji will never allow him to defile Jiangge's reputation because of him.
All you have to do is just to fight for all your strength.
As for the outcome, he also admitted it.
Zhang Wuji is like this, but Qingtan is not.
Qingtan knew very well that his strength was only one step away from the top of the younger generation, so if he worked harder, he might also make it to the finals.
But, it’s not easy to be just one step away.
His senior brother Ku Mu is a monster, and both talent and cultivation are real monsters.
I have talent, but my practice is lazy and unreasonable.
Just as Qingtan finished practicing swordsmanship today, he was about to rest for a while, bitter wood appeared.
Zhang Wuji also appeared with the bitter wood.
But at this time, Zhang Wuji lowered his head and followed Ku Mu, like a child who had done something wrong. It was really confusing to see this way.
When the two of them came to Qingtan, Qingtan also frowned and looked at Zhang Wuji behind Kumu, and then asked Kumu.
"Senior Brother, what does this mean? Did this guy Zhang Wuji do something wrong?"
"Sister Qingtan, what you said is so worrying about me, why did I do something wrong?"
Zhang Wuji curled his lips and walked out from behind Ku Mu. He raised his head and looked at Qingtan with some displeasure.
"Hey, this is not something you did wrong, so why are you following Senior Brother Kumu with your head hanging down like a thief?"
Zhang Wuji waved his hands repeatedly.
"Sister Qingtan, you are just thinking too much. I followed Senior Brother Kumu, mainly because Senior Brother Kumu said that he would explain to you and me if he had something to do."
"ha?"
Qingtan was a little puzzled, then raised her head and looked at Ku Mu.
Is there anything else that my senior brother wants to explain to them?
Immediately afterwards, Ku Mu took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, handed it to Qingtan, and said softly
"This is the popular list of contestants this time that Ji Wuying has brought. All the sword cultivators on the list are expected to rush into the top 100. This list is not very useful to me, but you two need to take a good look."
When Senior Brother Kumu said that the bamboo slip was written on the list of sword cultivators in this Dao Enlightenment Competition, Qingtan's strength suddenly came up. She quickly reached out to take the bamboo slip. Zhang Wuji's reaction was fast enough, so he quickly crossed Kumu and came to Qingtan, lowered his head to look at the bamboo slip.
After Qingtan put the bamboo slips on the stone table and spread them out, the two of them looked at the names on the bamboo slips in unison.
"Central Zhou, Ji Chong, Western Qin, Ying Hua, Dong Xun, Shen Xu."
These three names were slowly revealed from Qingtan's mouth, and these three people were all famous figures among the young sword cultivators today.
The middle Zhou refers to the Holy Zhou, while Ji Chong is a genius sword cultivator named the Holy Zhou Xiaojian Immortal. After several years of seclusion, he had only barely left the seclusion before the Taoist qualifying competition. His accomplishments in sword cultivation are definitely not weak.
Ying Hua from the Western Qin was the first genius sword cultivator in the northwest kingdom of the Western Qin in a century. Whether it is talented or otherwise, they are the most talented among the century-old sword cultivators of the Western Qin. They have a great sword art. They are said to be sword art, but in fact they contain a killing aura.
And the Shenxu of Dongxun.
This person is no stranger to Qingtan.
Shen Xu is now the consul of Shen Baoxu, the first Qianlong of the Dongxun Empire.
Although Shen Xu's appearance gives people a thin and sickly appearance, Qingtan clearly knows that this guy's appearance is his biggest disguise.
Who would have thought that under such an appearance, Shen Xu is also the first sword cultivator among the younger generation in Dongxun Empire?
The first young sword cultivator in the empire, you can imagine how powerful Shen Xu's sword skills are.
If you talk about swordsmanship, he is not inferior to Qingtan.
Qingtan himself also knew this very well.
The reason is nothing else, just because Qingtan and Shen Xu have fought no less than ten times over the years.
In these ten battles, the two of them won and lost each other.
However, with such a victory and defeat, Qingtan had a stable advantage from the beginning, until in recent years, Shen Xu was able to find some flaws under Qingtan's sword to turn defeat into victory.
Especially in the past two years, the two of them fought six times, and Shen Xu won as many as four times.
It can be said that if it continues to develop according to this momentum, Qingtan will be no match for Shen Xu in a few years.
Therefore, after seeing the name of Shen Xu on the list of participating in this competition, Qingtan still felt a hint of unhidden excitement flashed through her heart.
Finally, I can fight this guy again.
After more than half a year of poetry, I still don’t know whether this guy’s swordsmanship has improved.
As for the Beigen swordsman, Qingtan was naturally ignored.
Although the Beigen Empire is also an empire and the cultivator's background is also very strong, it is also good, but if it comes to the younger generation of sword cultivators, hehe, that's really not enough.
For example, this is the swordsman from Beigen.
His swordsmanship has only been a small success until now, and his cultivation is not as good as Qingtan. If he fights Qingtan, Qingtan has enough confidence to win him down.
In the past few decades, Beigen has suffered a lot of losses in the sword cultivator competition.
However, although this is true in Qingtan's eyes, in Zhang Wuji's eyes, any person on the bamboo slip is a powerful enemy that he is difficult to conquer at this moment.
No matter who it is, Zhang Wuji is hard to be an enemy.
Ku Mu naturally saw the change in his expressions. He shook his head and then spoke.
"Zhang Wuji, the guys on this list are naturally superior to you, but your unique swordsmanship may not be able to surpass them. Therefore, as the prince said, give you more confidence. How can those who hold the sword retreat?"
After saying this to Zhang Wuji, Ku Mu looked at Qingtan again and said coldly
"As for you, such as Shen Xu and Ji Chong, who are not your strong enemies? Among them, Shen Xu, I don't know how strong he is, but even if there is a difference compared to you, it is still not far different. Qingtan, you have many strong enemies."
When Qingtan heard this, she could only nodded silently.
"You two have to neglect your sword practice these days. Although there is not much time left, no matter what, you must show your strongest state to greet those opponents, and use the sword in your hands to let them know what is the sword cultivator in the world."
Ku Mu looked at it coldly, and this glance made Zhang Wuji's heart swell.
Sword cultivator of the world?
Senior Brother Kumu actually said this.
This sentence was first said when the sword saint Feng Buping defeated the strongest sword.
At that time, even if Feng Buyan defeated the strongest with one sword, his words still caused dissatisfaction among many strongest in the world.
Sword cultivator of the world?
What does this mean?
