Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 598 The Battle of the Grandmasters

Fan Xian was surprised.

It should be noted that the Four-Looking Sword Technique was created by Four-Looking Sword, the city lord of Dongyi City.

Ordinary people simply cannot learn this sword technique.

However, how could this young man, who was about the same age as himself, possibly have mastered the Four Directions Sword Technique?

"Is this so-called 'Four-Looking Sword Technique' really that difficult?"

Zhu Ying smiled calmly.

He then casually brandished his longsword, using the Four Directions Sword Technique to engage Fan Xian in combat.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The two swords clashed repeatedly, with countless sword techniques colliding.

however.

Both sides used the Four-Looking Sword Technique. No matter how Fan Xian thrust his sword from a tricky angle, it would soon be blocked by Zhu Ying.

The clanging of metal echoed continuously as the two men went head-to-head, neither willing to give in.

"Bang bang bang!"

Another fierce clash ensued.

Fan Xian's internal energy erupted, making his sword intent even sharper and more ruthless, with each strike containing powerful internal energy.

"boom!"

The air crackled and popped as yellow sand rolled in.

However, the more Fan Xian erupted, the more serious his expression became.

"boom!"

at last.

After his sword was blocked once again, Fan Xian took half a step back and looked at Zhu Ying in front of him with some shock.

His hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, and the area between his thumb and forefinger was a little numb.

"how is this possible?"

Fan Xian's expression remained one of surprise, but inwardly he was utterly horrified.

In the few moves they had just exchanged, his Four-Looking Sword Technique had actually been suppressed.

Yes.

His swordsmanship, which involved looking around, was completely suppressed by the person in front of him.

Even though Zhu was using the Four-Looking Sword Technique, and he was also using the Four-Looking Sword Technique, even if they were from the same school, it was impossible for him to be suppressed.

Moreover, his strength already ranks among the Grandmasters.

Even if Zhu Ying is strong, he couldn't possibly be stronger than him.

So why is his swordsmanship, and his understanding of the Four Directions Sword Technique, deeper than mine?

Can't figure it out.

Fan Xian simply couldn't understand it.

However, before he could finish his thought, Zhu Ying took the initiative to launch an attack.

He still used the Four-Looking Sword Technique, without any fancy moves.

Using someone else's tricks to defeat them is tantamount to killing them out of their spirit.

of course.

Zhu Ying naturally didn't think so. After all, the Four-Look Sword Technique that Fan Xian and Si Gu Jian were so proud of sounded very high-class.

They don't focus on the front and ignore the back, or the left and ignore the right; their main strategy is a comprehensive, all-around attack with no blind spots.

Moreover, there are no real sword moves or routines; all that exists is an understanding of the sword.

In fact, isn't this just the Dugu Sword Technique?

The Dugu Nine Swords is about "using no moves to defeat moves," meaning that it can break through the martial arts of all schools and sects with just nine moves.

Moreover, every move emphasizes offense, which means that the enemy has no choice but to defend when attacking. Doesn't this highlight a comprehensive and flawless approach?

The enemy was forced to defend, and they had no chance to attack.

The Dugu Nine Swords and the Four-Look Sword Technique are actually quite similar in their essence.

However, the Dugu Nine Swords is a step above, since Dugu Bubai can be called the number one in the world with the Dugu Nine Swords.

Even Dugu Bubai eventually reached the half-step Gangqi realm, and his achievements far surpassed those of Sigu Jian.

Although Si Gu Jian is not bad, having reached the Divine Power Realm, he is still far inferior to Dugu Bubai, who is at the Half-Step Qi Refining Realm.

Having mastered the Dugu Nine Swords, Zhu Ying naturally acquired the Four Directions Sword Technique.

Moreover.

Although he was using the Four-Looking Sword Technique, it was actually a modified version of the Dugu Nine Swords, making it more comprehensive and without any blind spots.

And it's even more tricky.

So, with a series of loud bangs and clangs of metal clashing, Fan Xian was once again forced back by Zhu Ying.

"puff!"

Zhu Ying's sword pierced Fan Xian's heart an inch deep before being swiftly withdrawn, causing a stream of blood to gush from Fan Xian's mouth and heart.

Fan Xian took several steps back, his eyes fixed on Zhu Ying in front of him.

How come you're so skilled?

Fan Xian clutched his injured chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He still couldn't understand why Zhu Ying was slightly better than him, even though they both practiced the Four Directions Sword Technique. Every time they clashed, Zhu Ying's attacks were more cunning and deadly.

"You want to learn?"

Zhu Ying twisted his neck and looked at Fan Xian with a faint smile.

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, and in that instant, Zhu Ying transformed into a blur, his sword flashing as it was drawn from its sheath.

Swah——

With a whooshing sound, Zhu Ying thrust his sword at Fan Xian with one hand, while simultaneously grabbing the hilt with the other and thrusting forward with force.

"boom!"

His internal energy suddenly erupted, increasing his speed to another level.

Swah——

Before Fan Xian could react, Zhu Ying's sword had already pierced through Fan Xian's arm.

"Splash—"

Zhu Ying stopped directly in front of Fan Xian, his sword piercing deeply into Fan Xian's shoulder, causing a stream of blood to spurt out.

Fan Xian turned his head blankly and looked at Zhu Ying, who was standing close to him with a faint smile on his face. Fan Xian felt a chill run down his spine.

That intense chill and profound deathly aura almost completely crept over his entire body.

"you……"

Fan Xian felt the pain in his shoulder and looked at Zhu Ying, speechless.

Zhu Ying slowly drew his sword with one hand and made a shushing gesture with the other, looking very elegant.

It is the kind of etiquette and attitude that only true royalty would have.

Zhu Ying looked like a true leader.

He looked calmly at Fan Xian, then slowly uttered a few words.

"If you don't go all out to deal with me... you'll die!"

talking.

Zhu Ying drew his sword and slashed it towards Fan Xian's neck.

Fan Xian's eyes widened instantly. The moment the sword light came, he covered his neck and quickly distanced himself from Zhu Ying.

"boom!"

He stumbled back several steps, his gaze fixed on Zhu Ying, who had already drawn his sword.

"Hoo-ha, hoo-ha!"

After he left, he was panting heavily, as if he had survived a disaster.

However, he suddenly felt that the hand he was using to cover his neck was icy cold. When he took it off, he saw that his hand was stained with blood.

original.

Zhu Ying wasn't just bluffing; the slit in the throat had genuinely injured him.

However, Fan Xian's reaction was equally quick. If it weren't for his extreme reaction when facing the threat of death, that sword strike would have already taken his life.

He touched his neck, where there was a not-so-small wound, and blood was still flowing from it.

"What a fast sword!"

Fan Xian felt that Zhu Ying seemed to have become a different person at that moment.

He was like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered, while Zhu Ying was the butcher with the knife. If he wasn't careful, he would be at Zhu Ying's mercy.

terrible.

That's absolutely terrifying.

Fan Xian felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed Zhu Ying was serious. If he didn't take it seriously and show some skill, he might really die here.

"No, I can't just give up like this!"

Fan Xian took a deep breath. He still had a mission to complete. He couldn't just collapse like this, he couldn't just die without knowing why.

There are still many mysteries surrounding him that he needs to unravel.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony!"

Fan Xian wiped the blood from his neck, raised his hand and tore a piece of cloth from his sleeve. He then quickly wrapped the cloth around his hand and sword.

This way, the sword won't slip due to excessive force or blood.

Of course.

This also serves as a message to the opponent that they are determined to fight to the death.

The sword is my weapon.

Sword dies, man dies!

Zhu Ying looked at Fan Xian and shook his head. This kind of fake show couldn't scare him at all.

However, at this moment, Fan Xian spoke again, saying, "Honestly, you shouldn't have gotten close to me, you shouldn't!"

Fan Xian shook his hand, looked at Zhu Ying, and then smeared some powder from his neck.

He had been playing with poisons with Fei Jie since he was a child. As Fei Jie himself said, he was a master of poisons, and Fan Xian, who had inherited Fei Jie's skills, was the same.

He is not just skilled at using poisons; he himself is composed of countless poisons.

Just now, in order to kill himself, Zhu Ying stabbed himself in the arm and slit his own neck. Unbeknownst to him, the poison powder had already entered Zhu Ying's body.

If these poisonous powders were released, even a grandmaster would be severely affected.

However, faced with Fan Xian's confidence, Zhu Ying just rubbed his temples with a slight headache.

"Can you and that old man please stop showing off your limited skills? I wouldn't even look at your little bit of poison!"

As Zhu Ying spoke, he casually released a burst of true energy, and the moment that burst of true energy erupted, an invisible wave of energy seemed to erupt around him.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a series of buzzing sounds, this invisible wave of air transformed into ripples that spread in all directions.

Fan Xian was surprised once again as he felt the wave of air rushing towards him.

His eyes were fixed on Zhu Ying before him, and he asked incredulously, "You, you are also a Grandmaster?"

This aura... no doubt about it, a Grandmaster, absolutely a Grandmaster.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ying in front of me is also at the Grandmaster level, and his aura is so pure that it seems to be even stronger than that of an ordinary Grandmaster.

No wonder!

No wonder he could easily kick Fei Jie away and learn Si Gu Jian's Si Gu Sword Technique. Perhaps the changes in Dongyi City and the fact that Si Gu Jian has not shown up for so long indicate that something is wrong.

"Ah!"

Zhu Ying listened to Fan Xian's guess, but just smiled and didn't answer. Since Fan Xian thought he was a Grandmaster, then so be it.

Just don't cry if you get blown up later.

After his initial shock, Fan Xian's expression turned serious. He knew he had to give it his all.

Even if it means revealing the power of a Grandmaster, there's nothing that can be done.

He originally wanted to hide his talents, but now it seems unnecessary.

"boom!"

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted, causing Fan Xian's clothes to flutter wildly, and invisible waves of energy to surge around him.

Ripples spread outwards in all directions, centered on him.

boom--

boom--

A series of explosions echoed in the air as Fan Xian unleashed his full power. He merely threw a punch and flicked his wrist, and countless explosions resounded.

His gaze became dangerous and profound, and his entire demeanor changed.

"call!"

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and looked up at Zhu Ying again.

"I didn't intend to expose myself!"

Fan Xian wiped his sword and said softly, "To be honest, I've suppressed my cultivation for too long and hidden it too deeply."

He had endured so much for that moment, but before it even arrived, he was exposed.

But it doesn't matter, he still has a backup plan; what he's experiencing now is just a little hardship.

"We have no grudge against each other, I don't want to kill you, you can still leave now!"

Until the very end.

Fan Xian was still warning Zhu Ying that he didn't want to fight with Zhu Ying, as it would be a losing proposition.

He doesn't do business that loses money.

He could tell that Zhu Ying was very strong, extremely strong, and that this Ming Kingdom was probably the Ming Dynasty he had in mind.

Therefore, he did not want to start a war rashly without figuring out Zhu Ying's identity.

However, Zhu Ying simply smiled at Fan Xian's seemingly well-intentioned advice. He looked at Fan Xian and calmly said, "It's not certain who will leave yet!"

seriously.

Although Fan Xian's future achievements may indeed be very high, he may even reach the legendary Dharma Aspect realm.

However, Fan Xian now is far inferior to the great cultivator he will become in the future.

If it were Fan Xian, who had reached the Dharma Aspect Realm in the future, negotiating with him, perhaps he would consider whether or not to agree.

But now, Fan Xian, fresh out of school and reckless like a greenhorn, issues a warning to Zhu Ying, who finds it all rather amusing.

Zhu Ying didn't waste any more words, brandishing his longsword, about to make a move.

However, Fan Xian acted even faster. Knowing that Zhu Ying disagreed, Fan Xian made what he believed to be the most correct choice at that moment.

That is……

A swift and decisive victory!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the two of them charged at each other at the same time, unleashing their terrifying Grandmaster power.

Two powerful streams of true energy swept across the area in an instant, creating a raging storm. The aftershocks of the battle spread in all directions in a flash, raising billowing dust.

At this moment, everyone, including Yan Ruohai and Fei Jie who were already on the run, as well as Shen Zhong and the others who had just arrived in Northern Qi, were shocked.

Those who reach their level are already quite strong.

When grandmasters engage in a great battle, the aftershocks of that battle are so obvious that anyone who isn't a fool can recognize them.

They all looked in horror at the spot where the battle had broken out.

Fei Jie's expression gradually turned grim, and he murmured, "A battle between Grandmasters?"

He never expected that a battle between Grandmasters could break out in this small Dongyi City. This is really bad.

Yan Ruohai's reaction was completely different from Fei Jie's; he was so shocked that he was speechless.

"He's actually a Grandmaster?"
