Chapter 19: Master and Novice

  The warning came quickly, but Rokuto's speed was even faster. With a swift and deadly blow that drained all his internal energy, although it was only executed by a player who had barely entered the game, for newcomers, it was like Mount Tai crushing them, unavoidable!

  Even if I was happy, after experiencing a long period of high pressure, my whole mind was focused on understanding the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, but I still couldn't immediately think that this was the Blood Wheel Reversal Slash.

  It wasn't until he realized the situation was strange that the dazzling blood-colored light had already violently flashed before his eyes, and his current skills were unable to completely avoid it...

  Life and death in an instant!

  With a happy heart, almost without thinking, he unconsciously used the "Python Flip" from Shaolin Changquan, and at the same time, his gentleman's sword flashed out of his hand, executing a move that he had mastered in his past life...

  People are like movies, rapidly rewinding, the gentleman's sword shoots out with electricity, just hitting the blood wheel that must be killed by Kuang Xiaotian's back slash.

  Liao Xiatian had not yet reached the level of freely entering and exiting, and for this secret technique that required a strong inner force as its foundation, he was temporarily unable to control it with ease. As he saw the flying sword rushing towards him, his heart also panicked, and suddenly his mind was in disarray.

  Clang!

  A clear and crisp sound of metal clashing, the gentleman's sword pierced into the ground three meters away, sinking in over half a meter.

  Mysterious skill falls short, Jiao Xiaotian is shocked and furious, furiously shouting "Come and take my life!" With the remaining momentum of his secret skill, he pounces on Kaixin's face, and the blood shadow reappears! Without a weapon, see how you can still resist his Blood Wheel Knife Technique!

  However...

  A single move of flying sword dissolves the worries of life and death, after standing firm, re-immersing oneself, like a top, steps become more stable, more agile, and momentum suddenly increases greatly.

  BOOM!!

  A faint blood shadow had just appeared in front of him, but a fist wind with a hidden shockwave came from the side and heavily punched the empty-faced Ruo Xiatian's face.

  The tenth-level boundary of the Shaolin Long Fist, its killing power is not inferior to the ninth-level ordinary swordsmanship of the Pei Junzi Sword. Lu Xiaotian had not yet reacted from the sudden burst of energy from his opponent when a powerful force directly sent him flying.

  In mid-air, a loud laugh shocked and startled him, his eyes wide with surprise.

  Fist Wind!

  Although it has not yet reached the realm of a grandmaster's wind spirit, the fist intent has been initially formed and has clearly reached the tenth level boundary.

  "How is it possible?!"

  Liu Xian Tian struggled to control the intense dizziness, quickly scrambled up and looked towards the blue-shirted youth, only to witness Wu Hou being unable to withstand two moves in his opponent's hands, just like him, being directly found vulnerable and shoulder-slammed flying...

  But Wu Hou was obviously worse off.

  After a fierce shoulder collision, he was pulled back by the Golden Dragon's claws, and his swordsmanship was completely useless. His off-balance body rushed straight into the opponent's consecutive heavy punches, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.

  "Thank you for your guidance."

  The young man in blue did not continue to pursue, glanced faintly at the two on the ground, drew out the gentleman's sword and sheathed it, before re-entering the official path, gradually going further away.

  Two men with internal injuries were left staring at each other in dismay, their faces bitter and unyielding.

  "What a formidable guy, the tenth level of Shaolin Long Fist, not a undeserved defeat." Wu Hou also recognized his opponent's boxing technique and sighed repeatedly, losing interest in learning from the masters of Suzhou City along the way.

  "It's indeed not unjust."

  Luo Xiaotian glanced at his companions and felt a pang of sympathy.

  I thought the other party was just a novice who knew how to dress up and show off, but unexpectedly they not only learned Wudang Sect's "Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword", understood the moves of "Blood Wheel Knife Method" and "Quanzhen Sword Method", but also hid a profound fist method, even the Blood Wheel Reversal Slash could be easily avoided. No wonder with one against two, they dared to look down on the two of us who were just starting to practice the basic sword method, not putting the two of us in their eyes at all...

  "We have underestimated the heroes of the world."

  "This kid is going to be somebody!"

  They picked up their swords and silently memorized this number one person in Gusu City, walking towards the city's station.

  After this battle, they already knew that relying on their skills was not enough to dominate in the "Jianghu", and they still needed to continue cultivating... In the future, perhaps there would be a place for them in the "Jianghu".

  ……

  Little did they know, letting them off lightly was a deliberate decision.

  In "Jiang Hu", whenever there is a fight outside the city, the passive party has the moral high ground and can counterattack freely, even killing the enemy is not a problem.

  Especially in the last battle, with fewer people winning more, and with weaker people winning stronger ones, the appearance of the "Blood Wheel Return Slash" secret technique can be fully evaluated by the system's automatic evaluation. As long as you kill your opponent, you might even get a little extra reward, and your level will increase slightly.

  But the joy of venturing out for three years is clear.

  It's better for enemies to make amends than to break off relations.

  Young people who have just entered the world of Jianghu are always proud and arrogant, relying on their sense of justice to get things done. He was like that in the beginning, offending countless people and having many lives lost under his hands, which led to the incidents of being ambushed at Mount Hua and being besieged at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.

  Now, starting from scratch, I'm not going to bother making enemies over a small profit. Anyway, the previous match didn't put me at a disadvantage, and I even got to practice with my opponent. There's no need to kill them, just crippling their cultivation is enough.

  When you have a chance to spare someone's life, then spare it.

  After leaving, Kai Xin met an old acquaintance, Li San, on his way to the wine shop.

  Drunk with wine, holding a silver withdrawal machine, the image is very clear, it's hard not to recognize...

  Although he was drunk, Li San's vigilance was still there. As soon as he saw the blue-shirted youth approaching him, he immediately took notice. When the other person got closer, two flames burst out of his eyes, "It's you, you stinky brat! Come and die!" He hung his wine gourd on his waist and directly drew his fine steel sword to chase after him, with a momentum as if he had encountered an arch-nemesis.

  Haha.

  Laugh and turn around to run, leading Li San into a secluded forest.

  An hour has passed...

  On the official road, someone saw a blue-shirted young man panting and coming out of the forest, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle. Before he could understand what was happening, he saw a bloody sword-wielding man with over a dozen flying knives stuck in his body, gnashing his teeth and cursing as he ran out of the forest.

  Players who witnessed this scene immediately ignited their curiosity and began discussing it enthusiastically.

  "Is that Li San?"

  "It seems..."

  "Who beat him up?" "...... Who is that kid anyway?"

  "Don't you know him? He often comes and goes from the Murong family, as if he's already been listed on the Murong family's household register..." A seemingly well-informed 'old hand' player said with a tone full of envy.

  Everyone suddenly looked surprised.

  "The people of the Murong family from Gusu!"

  As more and more players outside the city discovered the "Blue Shirt Gentleman Sword" sweeping away evil gangs, for a time, the title of "Blue Shirt Gentleman Sword" of the eldest brother of the Murong Fu in Suzhou spread like wildfire.

  The parties were 'happy' but completely unaware, still diligently running for the ninth layer of "Jiugong Bagua Sword" and "Willow Leaf Flying Knife".
