At this moment, if the scene in the martial arts practice field was fixed, it would be a very funny scene: Qiu Chuji and Hao Datong held hands and turned their heads to look at the center of the arena. Their expressions were filled with panic. Wang Chuyi's hands were stretched out, stunned in place, his face full of regret and regret, just in time to echo Liu Chuxuan, who still hadn't reacted and was still maintaining his interception. In the middle of the arena, Xue Xin and Tan Chuduan were hugging each other while Ma Yu caught Sun Bu 'er. The four of them had extremely awkward expressions on their faces. The disciples who were watching the battle by the side of the field finally reacted to the storm-like change just now. They let out a cry of surprise and hurriedly rushed into the field to support their respective masters, their mouths still constantly greeting them.
After being disturbed by the disciples, the eight people finally recovered from the tense atmosphere. They immediately dismissed the disciples and sat down on the ground to discuss the gains and losses of the competition. Qiu Chuji was the most impatient person. He did not care about losing the competition. Instead, he laughed a few times and said,"Awesome, awesome. Ever since master taught us the Big Dipper Formation, this is the first time the seven of us have used it against each other. I didn't expect it to be so enjoyable. Junior Brother, you were able to break such a powerful array on your first encounter. You really didn't let down Master's expectations of you.”
Xue Xin hurriedly said," Senior Martial Brother Qiu, you flatter me. This Big Dipper Formation is indeed extremely profound and mysterious. This time, I was able to break the formation because I used a trick and it wasn't considered real martial arts. At the same time, it was also because this was the first time that all of you set up the formation to fight an enemy, which gave me an opportunity to take advantage of it. To be honest, this Big Dipper Formation is not something that can be broken after seeing it a few times. I'm afraid it's impossible for me to break it again in the future.”"Junior Brother, you're too humble. No matter what, you've defeated the combined forces of our seven senior brothers." Qiu Chuji smiled. There was no need to say that clever tricks were not real martial arts. If they really fought with the enemy one day, they would probably not be stingy with using tricks. Oh right, what kind of martial arts did you use at the end? I clearly saw you use your fingers to press against me a few times, but why did the force come from the side when it reached me?”At this moment, Ma Yu also asked," That's right. The punch you threw at Junior Brother Qiu just now must be quite famous now. I wonder what kind of extraordinary technique it is?"”At that moment, he told Tan Chuduan what he felt at that time. Only then did the seven sons know why Ma Yu and Tan Chuduan were so nervous at that time and didn't make a move according to the change of the formation. It turned out that they thought that Xue Xin didn't stop and attacked Qiu Chuji.
Xue Xin hurriedly replied,"The punch that I threw at Senior Brother Qiu just now was the Eastern Echo of the Great Vajra Fist. Then, I pressed down three times with my thumb, which was the Three Entrances to Hell of the Maha Finger. Both of them are techniques that can change the direction of the attack of the inner energy that I threw out.”As he spoke, he explained the subtlety of these two moves to the crowd. When the Seventh Son heard that there was such a wonderful martial art in the world, it opened his eyes. However, when he heard Xue Xin explain the subtle control method of internal energy, he understood that these two martial arts were magical, but not ordinary people could practice them. Especially the "Three Steps to Hell", it really lived up to its reputation. Xue Xin's three strokes, every time he practiced it, he had to experience the pain of going to hell.(Of course, what Xue Xin used was a trick of the Minor Non-Phase Method.) The eight of them chatted for a while longer before they dispersed. They had all benefited greatly from this battle, and now they needed to spend some time to digest it.
Three days later, at the same place, the Quanzhen Seven invited Xue Xin to test the array. At this time, Xue Xin already knew that it was very difficult for him to hurt the senior brothers under the protection of the array, so this time he used his full strength from the beginning. Last time, he had only used his lightness skill to win in one strike with a strategy, so the Quan Zhen Seven only knew that his lightness skill was very fast. But this time, when Xue Xin truly displayed the miraculous aspect of the Wave Subtle Steps, the seven people realized that their little junior brother had still hidden his strength last time. Although they still surrounded Xue Xin in the array, they couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes. They clearly saw his figure, but when the palm force arrived, they found that they had only hit empty air, and Xue Xin's real body had already appeared elsewhere.
Just as the Quan Zhen Seven were feeling depressed and the surrounding disciples were getting dizzy, Xue Xin started to attack. At this moment, the sword technique he used was also different from the last time. Last time, it was purely defensive, but this time, it was an active attack. After being actively urged, the speed of his sword was a little faster than last time.
It was said that speed was the only thing that could not break the martial arts in the world. Now, the Quan Zhen Sect's Seven Disciples had a deeper understanding of this saying. Although they thought that Xue Xin's sword technique was extremely crude, and he only had a few moves such as straight thrusts and horizontal cuts, coupled with his ghost-like body movements and extremely fast sword speed, it was impossible to guard against. Before Qiu Chuji, who was in charge of the operation of the array, could react, except for Sun Bu 'er, the clothes of the other six sons had already been torn by Xue Xin. Qiu Chuji couldn't be reserved anymore and quickly shouted,"Everyone, draw your swords and set up the sword formation!" For a moment, the sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard on the training field. Then, the seven of them no longer stood there as targets. Instead, they followed the direction of the array and began to shift positions.
This Tiangang Big Dipper Formation was researched by Perfected Chong Yang after spending countless painstaking efforts. Naturally, he had long thought of how to deal with an opponent with such a high lightness skill like Xue Xin. The seven of them kept walking, and they didn't care if there was anyone in front of them. They just stabbed their swords forward. Just now, they had all aimed at Xue Xin's figure before launching their attacks, but how exquisite was the Water Subtle Steps? If you waited until you were accurate before striking, then you would never be able to hit it. The situation was different now. No matter how Xue Xin ran around in the middle of the formation, the Quan Zhen Sect's Seven Sons were just focusing on their own sword techniques. This was actually the perfect way to deal with the Wave Subtle Steps. Moreover, they were in a formation. The seven of them could instantly form a sword net and trap Xue Xin in the middle. Xue Xin had sensed danger after the Seven Sons unsheathed their swords, so how could he dare to let them set up the sword net? But at this moment, the weakness of his sword technique was exposed. Every time he rushed forward a few steps to destroy the formation of the sword net, he would be forced into a panic by the swords that came from all directions. Although his sword attack speed was several times faster than ordinary people, everyone here was an expert in using the sword. Before he could finish using his moves, the tip of his sword would tremble, and he could actually transform into two or three sword flowers. Every sword attack could envelop half of Xue Xin's body, making Xue Xin not know where he would be attacked in the end. Moreover, at least four long swords were stabbing at him from all directions at every moment, causing Xue Xin to feel a great pressure. After blocking three waves of attacks with great difficulty, Xue Xin had no choice but to quickly retreat to the center of the formation and watch as the seven sons 'sword lights merged into one.
After the sword energies of the seven people formed a sword net, they slowly compressed toward the center under Qiu Chuji's command. As the sword net compressed, Xue Xin felt the pressure increase, and the space for him to perform Wave Subtle Steps became smaller and smaller. In the end, Xue Xin could only stand on the spot and passively defend like last time. However, this time was a hundred times more dangerous than the last time.
In the previous situation, even if he couldn't block the palm force, he could still rely on his body to withstand one or two hits. But now, all the attacks were sharp sword tips. If he wasn't careful, he might have to open a few holes in his body. After barely resisting for another incense stick worth of time, Xue Xin finally couldn't hold on any longer and hurriedly shouted,"Senior brothers, stop. This little brother can't hold on anymore.”When the Seven Sons heard this, they simultaneously slowed down the speed of their sword attacks. However, their feet did not stop, and they continued to circle around Xue Xin. After a long time, it finally stopped. At this moment, when he looked at Xue Xin, he saw that he was already drenched in sweat, and his figure was a little unsteady. He hadn't actually used up much of his internal energy, but in his previous state, he still had to carefully calculate the position and timing of the sword under the heavy pressure. The consumption of his mental strength was unimaginably large. If it was an ordinary person, they would be completely restricted by the large formation in the end. At every moment, there would be more than ten swords stabbing at them from different directions. It was impossible for them to last a few rounds, let alone the time for an incense stick to burn. Compared to his miserable state, the Quan Zhen Seven were much better. After they stopped, they were only panting a little. When Xue Xin saw this, the sense of defeat in his heart grew even greater.
Ma Yu saw that Xue Xin's spirit was a little dispirited, and knew that this time, he had dealt a blow to this little junior brother. He hurriedly said,"Little Junior Brother, don't be discouraged. Actually, just now, our Senior Brothers had already lost.”As he spoke, he pointed to the place on his right sleeve where Xue Xin had cut it and said,"If it wasn't for you showing mercy just now, we probably wouldn't have been able to last until the sword formation was set up.”
Qiu Chuji also said,"That's right, Little Junior Brother. The seven of us have practiced martial arts decades earlier than you. Now, we're relying on the array left behind by our master, so it can be said that we won unfairly."”
After all, this was the first time Xue Xin had tasted failure, but he was also proud and unwilling to show his discomfort in front of the younger disciples. Therefore, he forcefully suppressed the frustration in his heart and changed the topic. He asked,"I see that all of you are clearly not as fast as me, but every time you want to stab me, the tip of the sword will tremble and transform into two or three sword flowers, making it take me a lot of effort to deal with it. I wonder what happened?"
The Quan Zhen Sect Seven could see that Xue Xin was still not feeling well. However, this was also a hurdle that he had to cross on his own. Otherwise, no matter what others said, it would not be of much use. Hence, they followed his words and began to discuss the gains and losses of the previous battle.
