Hidden Corner

Chapter 511 Chapter 511 Calamity Qi Five

 One former chief is number one, and the other is the current chief.

 The difference between before and after is only a few years. For other disciples, the change will not be much in just a few years. But for top talents like Huo and Bai, a few years is enough to widen the despairing gap.

And now, the two contemporary geniuses of the Faceless Sword Sect are about to fight. Suddenly, the news spread to all the surrounding disciples and deacons at a jaw-dropping speed. Even the remaining elders couldn't help but project it from their residences. Sight sensing this way.

 In the attic of Kuiling.

Kui Ling and Yun Chen were sitting cross-legged and drinking tea opposite each other. When they heard the news from their disciples, the two of them stopped immediately.

“Bailu has excellent qualifications, and he seems to be born with Yuan Yin, but compared to Huo Qingkong, his qualifications and understanding are much lower. He will definitely not be able to beat him, but it depends on how much he loses.” Kui Ling said seriously.

“Junior brother is progressing very fast.” Yun Chen said, “Based on his previous performance, he should be able to hold on for ten moves even if the senior brother lets go. If he can suppress his realm to a certain level.”

“Then what realm do you know about Bailu?” Kui Ling asked.

 “Eh” Yun Chen was speechless.

 She really doesn’t know what level Bailu is. After all, no one would spread such secrets as cultivation level everywhere every day. Generally, only when there is a qualitative change, such as breaking through a certain level of the sect, will it be exposed during active registration and verification.

 After all, once you get up the ladder, your treatment, status, voice, and resources are all different. It will also affect relatives and friends, which is of great benefit.

 But no one will tell about ordinary small improvements.

This is also the reason for the deeds of many sect masters who have no news at all on weekdays. Suddenly one day, a loud roar shakes the sect, and they jump to the top.

Of course, there are very few such masters, and most of them actually die in silence, quietly.

"Bai Lu is a kid who is very guarded. I don't know what level he is in, but I estimate that even if he breaks through a qualitative change, he won't be willing to expose himself." Kui Ling has been with Li Chengyi for so long, and she somewhat understands Li Chengyi's character.

“After all, even if it is reported, the resources he can obtain will not change much, and whatever I have here will be used by him.”

“Master is right.” Yun Chen nodded, “Fortunately, my junior brother has successfully established his reputation in previous battles with people from the Time Sect, so it’s understandable even if he loses this time.”

“.” Kui Ling smiled and stopped talking.

 She often secretly observes the white deer in the dark, so she often sees a carefree attitude in the child's eyes, treating everyone as an equal.

 Even Huo Qingkong, whose strength far exceeds his, has the same attitude as Bailu.

 This made her feel more and more that the little guy was a rather special child.

 Inside the Faceless Hall.

The Taoist Holy Spirit opened his eyes slightly, as if he could see the competition outside and below.

 Compared to three years ago, there were more and thicker wrinkles on his face, and there was a faint air of twilight about him.

 “Ming Cong.” He suddenly said.

 “Here.” An ugly Taoist boy with half of his face covered with golden scales quickly came in from the door.

 “What do you think of White Deer?” the Holy Spirit Taoist asked softly.

Ming Cong has followed him for thousands of years. He looks like a Taoist boy, but in fact he is his disciple and is extremely powerful. The experience and insights are also extraordinary.

“Junior Brother Bailu, he has great potential and looks like an elder.” Ming Cong thought carefully for a moment before answering.

 The Holy Spirit Taoist nodded slightly.

“The Four Little Swords can be Qingkong’s deputy in the future, and Bailu can be the leader, which is good.”

 “It’s just to see what Bai Lu is thinking. If he is dissatisfied, he might cause trouble.” Ming Cong said seriously.

"Don't worry, Qingkong will take care of everything." Holy Spirit Taoist said calmly.

Both of them stopped making any sound, and gathered their senses at the competition site, waiting for the result.

 One is the strongest in the previous generation, and the other is the strongest in modern times. It is really exciting to see what kind of changes and reactions they can produce when they collide.

 At this time on the competition stage.

Huo Qingkong's figure flashed and appeared fifteen meters directly in front of Li Chengyi as if teleporting. He stood still, holding the sword in his right hand and looking this way.

“Junior brother, you can strike first, no need to hold back.” He smiled calmly. It was obvious that with his current state, it was too easy to face Bailu at this level.

This is the first time Li Chengyi has truly faced the future of the faceless scholar.

From now on, no matter how you look at it, this senior brother does not look like he can turn into that kind of twisted monster.

Some kind of drastic change must have occurred in the future, leading to the emergence of the faceless scholar.

　　Before, I got along with him as a teammate and junior brother, but now I look at him from the perspective of an opponent.

Li Chengyi just felt how perverted this guy was.

On the competition stage, Huo Qingkong was like a huge black hole, continuously swallowing up and confusing all the approaching auras around him.

 Some of the air that is closer has a strange change of condensing into a sword shape.

“This is definitely not something that the Faceless Sword Technique and the Holy Spirit can do. Even the other elders who practice the Thousand Faced Sword Technique have never seen this happen. ’ Li Chengyi felt awe-struck. Compared with Kui Ling, he actually felt that the Huo Qingkong in front of him was more oppressive than the cheap mother.

 “That’s offending.” After the observation, Li Chengyi clenched the Dingyuan Sword.

 He is thinking about how much strength he needs to unleash.

 This is the sixth year of entry. In the first five years of practicing this technique, no matter how talented you are, you still have to have a basic building process.

 So within six years, the maximum cannot exceed six seals. This is because it is assumed that he himself has a natural Yuan Seal.

 The two fell silent.

 Swords of wisdom appeared beside Li Chengyi, converging and superimposing on the Dingyuan Sword.

Ding.

In an instant, he disappeared from the spot, like a green light, passing through a distance of fifteen meters, and stabbed Huo Qingkong in the torso with a sword.

 But this sword was as expected. Blocked with ease.

 A slender sword blade that was slightly purple in color accurately held the tip of the Dingyuan Sword.

The superimposed wisdom swords on the two swords exploded and collided, making a crisp sound around them.

 "Awesome! Come again!" Li Chengyi suppressed his power to the level of six seals, swung his long sword and suddenly used the killing move of the Faceless Sword.

Step on the shadow!

His figure flashed and walked around behind the opponent. But the same shadow flickered and disappeared, and Huo Qingkong actually used it as well.

The two men quickly chased each other on the small competition stage.

 More than ten figures appeared one after another in one second.

Similarly, Li Chengyi's attainments are no worse than Huo Qingkong's.

 The surrounding spectators, even those with five seals and below, could not see clearly the true positions of the two men. Everyone exclaimed.

 The elders could see clearly, but their expressions were no longer relaxed.

Fortunately, Huo Qingkong had become famous in a previous battle, but Bailu, a rising star, was actually no less impressive with his Shadow Step.

 This is a bit of an exaggeration.

After the two of them chased each other at a terrifying speed of ten times the speed of sound, Huo Qingkong suddenly stopped and blocked the situation behind him with a backhand sword.

 Dang!

 The two long swords collided head-on and exploded in a circle of substantial air waves.

‘Instant prison! ’ Li Chengyi suddenly pinched his sword fingers, and a golden sword light flew out from the sword pouch on his waist.

The speed of the sword light was extremely terrifying. As soon as it appeared, it reached sixteen times the speed of sound. Like a golden arc, it hit Huo Qingkong at close range.

But this sword burst out from close to the body, but it actually failed.

Huo Qingkong tilted his head slightly, just in time to avoid the trajectory of the golden sword light flying past his face.

 The terrifying speed of the golden sword also shocked him.

 Sixteen times the speed of sound can already cause him to vibrate a little.

Although it was a sudden explosion in the sword pouch, it is a bit exaggerated that Bailu, with his relatively low level of cultivation, could be able to store a sword of such strength.

Immediately, he held the hilt of the sword in his hand, shook slightly, and a hidden light flickered out.

 Mingguang can forcefully control the opponent's movements and even the flow of power. With his current skill, using Mingguang means overwhelming the opponent with force, and the plan is completely over.

Unexpectedly, he just used bright light.

Li Chengyi withdrew his sword light, stepped back suddenly, distanced himself and clasped his fists.

“As expected of a senior brother, Bailu is willing to be the inferior.”

The field suddenly became quiet.

Li Chengyi's move was a bit abrupt, but everyone could understand that once he entered into a competition of Holy Spirit Kung Fu, he would definitely lose.

 After all, no matter how strong he is, he is still far from being able to rival the senior brother who has already sealed the ring.

 In the past, you could compete purely in moves, but once you enter the cultivation competition. Of course there is no need to continue.

Huo Qingkong also realized this.

 He actually failed to take advantage of White Deer in the faceless sword duel before, which made him feel a little surprised.

Although the speed of the last golden sword light was too fast, it can be understood as the backup plan prepared by Elder Kui Ling, which is normal.

"It's amazing that junior brother can perform like this at this age." Huo Qingkong looked at Li Chengyi with admiration. He could feel that the opponent definitely had a trump card that was useless.

But this is just a game of hunting, not a decisive victory for the enemy, so it is naturally impossible to use the expensive trump card.

 It is enough to try the normal strength.

“Thank you for your advice, senior brother. There is still a big gap between you and us, and we still need to work hard.” Li Chengyi replied seriously.

  Crash.

 The onlookers around him applauded one after another, and before he knew it, hundreds of people had gathered around him.

Had the competition not ended too quickly, more people might have gathered.

Li Chengyi didn't take it seriously. From the beginning to the end, his performance was not beyond the strength of Liuyin, except for the last shot of the sword bag, which exploded with sword light.

The sword light sixteen times the speed of sound, even if his own body explodes, can only go so far.

Yes.

 He did it on purpose.

 With the help of the name of Kui Ling and Sword Raising Bag, it is excusable and acceptable for everyone to only explode once.

 He just wanted to try to see if Huo Qingkong could catch the sword just now.

 The result left him feeling chilled.

Huo Qingkong easily avoided the golden sword light. In his eyes, the terrifying speed of sixteen times the speed of sound was as normal as normal speed, and he could solve it easily.

 This speed and strength exceeded Li Chengyi's expectations.

‘It seems that in terms of killing speed, I don’t need to use fancy words now, so I must be completely at a disadvantage. ’ Li Chengyi judged in his heart.

However, it is understandable that he only has two markings to increase his speed.

 The subsequent condensed engravings, or Yuan Seals, were all enhanced by his ability to nourish the blade.

 A Yuan Seal enhances and sublimates consciousness to nourish the power of the sword.

 Now he can nourish three sword blades at the same time.

 And the nourishment speed is three times faster than before.

  The sword pouch is a very good magic weapon.

It can be nourished by the user's consciousness, constantly improving their self-quality, and the nourished sword blade can be like a well-strung crossbow. When needed, it can be fired easily by just pressing the trigger.

This kind of launch does not require any consumption of consciousness or physical strength. It can accumulate its own peak sword, and it can also freely adjust the intensity and reduce the power.

This magical weapon ensures that masters of the Faceless Sword Sect can hide a comeback at any time and in any place, even when seriously injured.

While the average person's sword pouch can only nourish one sword, Li Chengyi can now nourish three, and the nourishing speed is three times that of other people, which means that he can quickly increase the power of the sword in a very short period of time.
