Nangong Xiaoxiang couldn't hold it in anymore. These eight people were all at the Tri-Talent Realm. There was not much difference in the exact realm, so there was no need to look carefully. It was equivalent to the standard of an elite disciple of the four great clans, so it was nothing to worry about.
What was scary was the bearded man. He was at the First Order of the Four Symbols Realm, which was on par with Nangong Xiaoxiang. His mystic qi was much greater than Nangong Xiaoxiang's, so he should be close to the strength of the Four Symbols Second Order. However, he seemed to have been stumped by something and refused to make a move.
"You are a true martial artist, so you should know that we are competing based on the skills of our sects, not the number of people. Although there were eight of them, they were using the authentic Four Gates of Qi Saber Techniques. This was not considered unfair. May I ask which sect you are from and what martial arts you have learned?”The bearded man explained Nangong Xiaoxiang's words.
This explanation was reasonable. This was the so-called martial arts competition. You can't say that a sect that has mastered a sword formation will bully you, right?
However, Nangong Xiaoxiang was afraid that they would be shocked if she told them the name of the Nangong family of the Tianchu Kingdom, so she said,""I don't belong to any sect. I've created my own set of Eight Trigrams Palm.”
"Excellent! Are you able to use the full set of your Qi Eight Trigram Palm?”This big-bearded man was also a skilled mystic qi xiuzhe.
"I wouldn't dare say that I've reached perfection, but I can be considered to have 70 - 80% of it.”Nangong Xiaoxiang said honestly. Ever since the last battle with Dongfang Liuyun, she realized that there were some problems with the connection between her palm technique and her movement technique, as well as the lack of mystic qi. The former could be achieved through daily training. The latter was the weakness of all female xiuzhe.
Nangong Xiaoxiang's Xuan Qi was outstanding among female xiuzhe, but she could never compare to male xiuzhe of the same realm. This was also the reason why she was slightly inferior to Dongfang Liuyun. Therefore, her main purpose for coming here this time was to cultivate to increase her mystic qi.
"In that case, if I attack, it will be even more obvious that I'm bullying you. Then you will fight with the eight of them and deal with the two four-gate sword formations at the same time. If you win, I will not make things difficult for you and let you go.”Big Beardy said.
"Aren't you guys used to bullying people?”
"Bullying within the rules is not bullying, it is called saving.”
There was such a shameless way of saying it! Anyway, they were the ones who set the rules. Nangong Xiaoxiang indeed did not have the intention to deal with all nine of them at the same time. It was almost difficult to deal with just one bearded man.
"Today, I'll teach you how great the impact of martial arts cultivation on the realm of mystical Qi in actual combat is!”Big Beardy said.
This was the part that the elder of the Nangong Family had not given to Nangong Xiaoxiang yet. He didn't expect to learn it here.
However, could Nangong Xiaoxiang really learn it if Big Beard didn't do it himself?
"I also want to say that this is just a martial arts competition. This is the first time our sect has officially competed with others since its establishment. There were a few principles. They could hurt people, but they didn't have to kill. It can hurt the body and skin without hurting the bones and muscles. Under the premise of learning and communicating, he would preserve the dignity of his opponent to the greatest extent!”
The bearded man was still very principled. He let those people change into wooden sabers.
Thus, the eight people were divided into two groups. Four people stood in a row with their legs hooked together. From the front, they looked like one person.
So this was what she was practicing while sleeping on the beam. Because the beam was extremely unstable, they hooked their legs together. If one of them fell, it would definitely implicate the entire row of people. Until no one else fell. As time passed, they formed a tacit understanding of borrowing each other's strength and helping each other.
"Qi and power combine, and power comes from the ground. The four gates merged into one, and Mount Tai collapsed. Saber Drawing Stance!" Big Beardy ordered. The person who led the two groups immediately drew his saber out of its scabbard. The other three drew their sabers to their waists and pressed them against the backs of their predecessors, just to conduct their mystic qi.
Thus, two Tiger Tyrant Saber Qi crossed each other. This was just a greeting, and it wasn't difficult for Nangong Xiaoxiang.
Nangong Xiaoxiang dodged it easily. The blade energy slashed the wall, and two gashes appeared on the wall.
The wall hasn't fallen yet. Who are you trying to scare? Anyone with slightly greater strength could do this.
The wall did not collapse because the saber Qi had only passed through it. Then, it exploded, stirring up a wave of air that was more than four meters high.
He even said that the wooden saber would not hurt people. If it hit the body, at the very least, he would lose an arm or a leg!
Nangong Xiaoxiang had to admit that this attack was indeed powerful! However, with Nangong Xiaoxiang's movement technique, it couldn't hurt her at all. If he couldn't hit her, what was the point?
Therefore, Nangong Xiaoxiang immediately felt bored." Pardon me for being blunt, but you'll definitely lose. There's no point in continuing the competition.”He still wanted Big Beardy to take action personally.
"Is it meaningless? According to what you said, most of the martial arts in the world would lose their meaning. Your movement technique is fast, but how many people in the world can be as fast as you? How long can you maintain this kind of fast movement technique in the intense confrontation between the two sides?”
The bearded man was right. He could already tell what kind of person Nangong Xiaoxiang was.
In terms of speed, Nangong Xiaoxiang was not the fastest. She was used to fighting fast with dexterity and was good at both offense and defense. This was her strength. However, she was only an assassin, and was not suitable for a long battle. After a long battle, the situation would slowly show.
The eight people in front of him had already tasted the bitterness of the human world. Day and night, they cultivated both physically and mentally. Coupled with Big Beardy's careful training, the combat techniques of these eight people had become increasingly mature. Their realms were also at the same level, making it easier for them to cooperate.
Moreover, these eight people did not have a fixed number of people. They could match up at will, and their coordination was still as perfect as one. The eight of them often formed a saber formation or acted alone. Such a seamless transition had never been seen in the Nangong family's training methods.
Nangong Xiaoxiang instinctively felt that this bearded man was not an ordinary person. He must have had a military background, and only in the military would there be such a systematic and complicated training method.
Although the eight of them had a hard time dealing with the top experts, they were still able to defeat the top experts. However, if they were placed in an ordinary army, such an elite team would definitely be able to display extraordinary power.
It could be seen that every martial artist had their own suitable path. Not everyone wanted to be a peerless hero like Nangong Xiaoxiang. There were also people who wanted to serve in the army and walk the path of an official.
Therefore, it was too early for Nangong Xiaoxiang to declare victory!
Facing such a precise battle formation, Nangong Xiaoxiang had to take their core if she wanted to win.
However, their core had always been Big Beard, who had stayed out of the matter.
If the eight of them were an elite team, the bearded man would be their commander. It was not easy to take down the commander in a battle. Moreover, Nangong Xiaoxiang was alone now.
Therefore, she could only wait like this. Even if she occasionally injured one of them, there would immediately be others to fill the empty spot. Moreover, he would ensure that there would be no gaps in his attacks.
The bearded man had already seen through Nangong Xiaoxiang's fighting style, and this mystic qi four-door saber battle formation method almost completely restrained Nangong Xiaoxiang's power to win in one blow.
Then what was considered a victory? Nangong Xiaoxiang only knew that since everyone was still standing, there would be no losers. This was Nangong Xiaoxiang's deepest experience after coming to Liushang Kingdom.
Suddenly, the Celestial Chi Four Gates Saber Array changed its formation and surrounded Nangong Xiaoxiang. Because it was already past the fourth watch, if they didn't decide on a winner, there would be no winner. It was impossible for Nangong Xiaoxiang to stay here during the day.
But now, only Nangong Xiaoxiang was eager to win. Sometimes, as long as an army could restrain the enemy, it would be considered a victory.
Therefore, when the wooden saber swung with mystic qi, Nangong Xiaoxiang thought of the street acrobatics.
Liushang Country was located in the land of three links, with rivers, lakes and seas, and nine continents. The people who came were all capable people and traveling artists from various countries. They practiced wrestling, lifting stone locks and holding their heads in the streets. They looked like they were performing arts, but in fact, they were all martial arts with unique skills.
This was something that only true martial artists could see.
On the street, Nangong Xiaoxiang did not see anyone carrying a weapon except for the soldiers. When the soldiers came to clear the area, the artistes were also in fear and trepidation. They would not hesitate and immediately left.
Logically speaking, with their abilities, they would definitely not be afraid of these small soldiers. If it was Tianchu, the soldiers would definitely not offend street performers with martial arts skills. Because you don't know which sect he comes from.
Then why did they have to give in? What were they planning? Nangong Xiaoxiang instinctively felt that the waters of Liushang Kingdom were a little deep. Judging from the atmosphere on the street, it seemed like a new force had just taken over. There were also soldiers patrolling the streets and markets.
For example, the eight people that Nangong Xiaoxiang was facing now were considered top-notch masters in the performing arts industry. Why were they willing to live in a dilapidated temple and become beggars?
And now, they were throwing knives at each other. It was a lively scene when they watched the performance. However, when he was in it, he did not expect it to be so lethal!
"Why? Haven't you always looked down on us beggars? It seems like you can't handle it now!”Big Beardy said.
"My original intention was to force you to make a move, so I didn't show my true ability. I didn't expect you beggars to have such skills. Alright, I'll show you!”
Nangong Xiaoxiang indeed wanted to see Big Beard's four saber techniques, but she couldn't lose to the Nangong Family's reputation first.
Although Nangong Xiaoxiang didn't like some people from the Nangong Family, she was still proud of being a disciple of the Nangong Family. The martial arts of the Nangong Family were also profound and mysterious. This was what Nangong Xiaoxiang was aiming for.
Thus, Nangong Xiaoxiang's Four Symbols Qi Gates were fully opened. She was about to show her true abilities, causing the big-bearded man to click his tongue in amazement.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:43AM
