Hidden Corners

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 Kuiling attic.

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

"Bailu has excellent aptitude, and he seems to be born with Yuan Yin, but compared to Huo Qingkong, his aptitude 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.

"Uh" Yunchen was speechless.

She really didn't know what level Bailu was. 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, when 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.

"The kid Bai Lu is very guarded. I don't know the specific state, but I estimate that even if he breaks through a qualitative change, he will not 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 the report is reported, the resources he can obtain will not change much. What 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. It is 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 children's eyes, treating everyone as equals.

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 very special child.

Inside the Faceless Hall.

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

There were more and thicker wrinkles on his face than three years ago, 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 in golden scales quickly came in from the door.

"What do you think of Bailu?" Taoist Holy Spirit 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 has great potential and looks like an elder." Ming Cong thought carefully before answering.

Holy Spirit Taoist nodded slightly.

"The Four Little Swords can be Qingkong's deputy in the future, with Bailu as the leader, which is good."

"It just depends on Bai Lu's thoughts. If there are many dissatisfactions, I'm afraid there will be trouble." Ming Cong said seriously.

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

Both of them stopped talking and gathered 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. When they collide, what kind of changes and reactions will occur is really exciting.

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. Obviously, with his current state, it was too easy to face Bailu at this level.

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

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

There must have been some drastic change in the future that led to the appearance 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 at this time, continuously swallowing 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 was thinking about how much strength he should unleash.

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

Therefore, in six years, he cannot exceed six seals at most. This is assuming that he himself has a natural Yuan Seal.

The two fell silent.

Wisdom swords appeared next to Li Chengyi, gathering and superimposing on the Dingyuan sword.

Ding.

In an instant, he disappeared from the spot, like a green light, crossing a distance of fifteen meters, stabbing Huo Qingkong's torso with a sword.

But this sword was as expected. Blocked with ease.

A slightly purple slender blade accurately held the tip of the Dingyuan Sword.

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

"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 other party.

But the same shadow flickered and disappeared, and Huo Qingkong actually used it as well.

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

In one second, more than ten figures appeared one after another.

Li Chengyi's attainments in shadow-stepping 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 not inferior to the shadow he used.

This is a bit exaggerated.

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

Dang! !

The two long swords collided head-on, causing a substantial ripple of air waves to explode.

‘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. It was like a golden arc and hit Huo Qingkong at close range.

But this sword explosion unexpectedly failed.

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

The terrifying speed of the golden sword also shocked him.

Sixteen times the speed of sound can already cause some vibrations in him.

Although it was a sudden burst from the sword pouch, it was a bit exaggerated for Bai Lu to be able to store such a strong sword with a relatively low level of cultivation.

Immediately, he held the hilt of the sword, 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 senior brother, Bailu is willing to be the inferior."

The place suddenly became quiet.

Li Chengyi's actions were 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 far from being able to rival the senior brother who has already sealed the ring.

In the past, it was still possible to compete purely in skills, but once it entered the cultivation competition. Of course there is no need to continue.

Huo Qingkong also realized this.

He actually failed to take advantage of Bai Lu in the Faceless Sword Duel before, which made him feel surprised.

Although the speed of the golden sword light at the end was too fast, it could be understood as the backup plan prepared by Elder Kui Ling, which was 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 other party definitely had a trump card.

But this is just a competition to see the enemy's heart, not a decisive victory for the enemy. Naturally, it is impossible to use the expensive trump cards.

It is enough to try the normal strength.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior brother. There is still a big gap between you and me, and we still need to work hard." Li Chengyi replied seriously.

Wow.

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

If the competition hadn't ended too quickly, more people might have gathered.

Li Chengyi didn't take it seriously. From the beginning to the end, he showed no strength beyond the six seals, except for the last moment when the sword light from the sword pouch exploded.

Even if his own body explodes with a sword light that reaches sixteen times the speed of sound, it 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 only broke out once, which is excusable and acceptable to everyone.

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

And the result left him chilling.

Huo Qingkong easily avoided the golden sword light. The terrifying speed of sixteen times the speed of sound, in his eyes, seemed to be normal speed and could be solved easily.

This speed and strength exceeded Li Chengyi's expectations.

‘It seems that in terms of killing speed, I am definitely at a complete disadvantage now that I don’t have to use flower language. ’ Li Chengyi judged in his heart.

But it's 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 blade.

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-stringed bow and crossbow. When needed, it can be easily fired 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 nourishment speed is three times that of other people. This means that he can quickly increase the power of the sword in a very short period of time.
