The 33rd Swallow Returns to the Nest

  True martial arts require a thousand refinements and a glimpse of the abyss to achieve some success, relying solely on one's own subjective practice can only lead to deviation! As in the past, Ximen Qing could only cultivate himself, every day wielding the Fang Tianhua halberd to stab at human dummies, practicing spear techniques, or finding a small bandit to practice with. This kind of practice without any sense of crisis, challenge, or competitiveness, although it may bring progress initially, will eventually become difficult to make further progress. Just like Ximen Qing is now stuck in the realm of minor accomplishments.

  And now, his match with Xu Zhanfeng was like a ray of light breaking through the gloom, allowing Ximen Qing to once again feel the subtlety and profundity of spear techniques.

  Xu Zhanfeng's shooting skills became more and more fierce, making Ximen Qing's hands and feet more and more flustered. But Ximen Qing not only didn't show any panic, but his mind was as calm as water, without any ripples.

  At this time, Ximen Qing was like a lonely boat in the stormy weather, no matter how the wind and waves beat against me, I went with the flow, without struggle or worry!

  "The Offensive Character Key", "The War Character Key", "The Hegemony Character Key", "The Killing Character Key"...... All the character keys that Ximen Qing had practiced, he was thoroughly familiar with. Xu Wenzhong also saw through Ximen Qing's intentions, and his long spear slowly changed, beginning to guide Ximen Qing's halberd techniques, making Ximen Qing's halberd techniques even more proficient.

  Ximen Qing originally thought that the attack was just a sudden burst of energy, destroying everything in its path. However, after his battle with Xu Zhanfeng, he discovered that the true essence of the attack lies not just in brute force, but also in a sharp and unyielding determination. Without this determination, even the most powerful aura is useless. Only when one possesses both a strong aura and an unwavering determination can they achieve victory. With this realization, Ximen Qing's attacks became unstoppable, capable of conquering all under heaven with just one strike.

  There are many such insights.

  This is the realization, the realization of the spear method, a realization of life and death in battle!

  Noticing Ximen Qing's change in momentum, a smile appeared on Xu Zhanfeng's face, and he secretly thought: Indeed, he is a genius! With just one battle, he can comprehend the emotions of his weapon and grasp the true essence of his moves. At this rate, how can he not reach the Great Completion Realm? Ning Er also has talent, but compared to Qing Er, haha, she still falls short by a few points, a few points!

  Xu Zhanfeng immediately shouted: "Nephew, be careful!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhanfeng's body suddenly leapt up, like a great wild goose soaring into the sky. The golden spear transformed into lightning and struck down vertically. In an instant, by Ximen Qing's ears, layers of golden armor and iron horses rose up, shaking Ximen Qing's eyes with dizziness!

  "Wild Goose Cuts Off All Hopes!" One of the three killing moves in Wild Goose's shooting technique, using an unstoppable force to sweep away everything and eliminate all distractions.

  Ximen Qing suddenly felt his hair stand on end, and immediately hurriedly calmed down, with a clarity of mind he had never experienced before.

  You have a desperate killing move to seal all, then I will have the God of War's Battle Halberd Reversal Technique, reversing all attacks!

  Facing a mighty blow, Ximen Qing used the "returning character" technique to block Xu Zhenfeng's golden spear with his Fang Tianhua halberd. The halberd's internal energy surged and sent the spear flying back. However, although he had blocked it, Ximen Qing's legs were already bent halfway down, his knees almost touching the ground.

  Xu Wenzhong knew that Ximen Qing's spear technique was profound, so he didn't have any unexpected moves. He retracted the golden spear and moved his right hand forward to grasp the tip of the spear, while pulling the long spear handle back into his body. Then Xu Wenzhong stretched out his foot and kicked directly at Ximen Qing's chest. If this kick had hit Ximen Qing's chest, it would have been enough for him to drink a pot. Moreover, at this time, Ximen Qing's legs were bent, and his feet had no strength to exert, so he had no choice but to use the Fang Tianhua spear to block Xu Wenzhong's foot.

  But unexpectedly, Xu Zhanfeng exerted force with his foot and suddenly flew backwards like a wild goose, while at the same time, the treacherous golden spear shot out from his right hand and stabbed back towards Ximen Qing's neck.

  At this time, Ximen Qing was already stunned and didn't even have time to counterattack.

  From the moment Fang Tian painted a halberd to block Xu Zhanfeng's kick, it was only an instant, but in this instant, Xu Zhanfeng had already turned around and stabbed his spear at Ximen Qing's neck.

  The Horseback Gun, originally the most vicious killing move in a horse-to-horse combat, has now been cleverly applied by Xu Zhanfeng in actual combat, and it's not inferior to its original form at all! The golden gun flashed like a venomous snake and arrived at Ximen Qing's neck, making Ximen Qing's attempt to resist come to an abrupt halt, leaving him stunned.

  And this remodeled repeater is no longer a repeater, but called "Flying Swallow Returns to Nest"!

  Xu Zhanfeng had already calculated everything. The wild goose was about to make a fatal blow, forcing Ximen Qing into the alley, and he couldn't help but block it. But as soon as his foot kicked out, it was like drawing a line in the sand, causing Ximen Qing to dig his own grave, and he couldn't help but stop his own kick. And with the final blow, the flying swallow returned to its nest, directly targeting Ximen Qing's neck, leaving him no way to resist anymore.

  At this time, Ximen Qing's legs were half bent, and although Fang Tianhua held a halberd in front of him, the golden spear was at his throat. How could he block it? So, Ximen Qing had already lost!

  However, Ximen Qing did not feel the slightest loss. After all, he was only a minor achievement in spear technique and could not be compared to the great achievement of gun technique. If he had achieved the great spear technique, then the one who would have been forced into a dead end at this time would have been Xu Zhanfeng.

  "Uncle Xue, I've lost! Your 'Reversed Spear' move is indeed formidable, it's so fast that I couldn't even see the direction of the spear!" Ximen Qing said with a smile.

  Withdraw the Golden Spear, Xu Zhan smiled and said: "Qing Er, your spear technique is also very formidable. If it weren't for your low cultivation level, I'd be the one in trouble now. The Heaven-Painting Halberd, a nightmare for light-weapon wielders...it seems that's indeed true."

  At this time, Ximen Chuixue and Zhang Wenyuan also walked over. Then they heard Zhang Wenyuan laugh and say: "Alright, let's go inside to talk about it later. You two uncle and nephew had a great fight, watching you made me feel so itchy!"

  Xu Zhanfeng blew his beard and immediately joked: "Then why don't we practice?"

  Zhang Wenyuan hastily shook his head and said, "Forget about practicing with you, I'd rather practice with Qingzhong. Besides, I still have to teach him the secrets of shooting featherless arrows. What's the point of competing with you?"

  "Alright, alright, Second and Third Brothers, stop arguing. You've been quarreling for so many years and still haven't figured it out. Come on, let's go inside!"

  The four of them entered the living room and sat down in their respective seats.

  After sitting down, Ximen Chuiyan said to Ximen Qing: "Qing'er, you are currently learning a skill, so I won't force you to get married early. However, after the age of 16, you must get married and have some children for me, and also have some grandchildren for your two uncles! Did you hear that?"

  Ximen Qing nodded and said: "Don't worry, old man. After I turn 16, I'll go to my uncle's house to marry the two sisters, okay?"

  Xu Zhanfeng chuckled and said, "Alright then, I'll be waiting at home. But by that time, who knows how formidable Qing's spear technique will have become? Maybe even old man me won't dare to compete anymore! Haha..."

  Zhang Wenyuan also smiled and said, "Yes, Second Brother, our innate talents are limited. Until now, we have only reached the peak of Grandmaster, not even comparable to Qing Shao's half. In a few more years, who knows how strong Qing Shao's martial arts will be? By the way, Qing Shao, I want to teach you the Featherless Arrow technique. Are you willing to learn?"
