Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 55: The Road to Shu
In all the previous four rounds of ring battles, Lu Qingshan was guarding his own ring number seven.
Now, he finally became the challenger for the first time and launched an attack on the No. 3 ring guarded by Cao Xiaoxin.
As soon as the news of the Hanging Saint Master's match was released, there was a commotion among the monks watching the game.
This ring competition is indeed more exciting than the previous one, and the fifth round is even more exciting, which is worth everyone's expectations!
Bai Guandao and Yu Xu, one has mastered the true meaning of the origin, and the other has practiced the ancient body-refining secret art of the Eight Gates Ninjutsu. Both of them have been crushing the opponent all the way. Now they are facing off against each other. Who wouldn’t be looking forward to it?
Lin Guihai faced Mo Yan. One was a master of both magic and body and was invincible in thunder magic; the other was a master of several kinds of strange fire. He was the strongest dark horse in this Seven Realms Forum. It was hard to predict who would win or lose.
Cao Xiaoxin and Lu Qingshan, the former is recognized as the strongest inner sword in the Seven Realms Forum, and his sword formation skills are unparalleled.
The latter is an expert in both internal and external swordsmanship. After defeating Yu Cibei, he has become the strongest external swordsman in everyone's eyes. Apart from that, his internal swordsmanship is also extraordinary.
Both of them give people a feeling of being invincible.
When the strongest inner sword meets the strongest outer sword, who is the strongest swordsman in the Seven Realms?
Hearing the announcement of the matchup by the Hanging Saint Master, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Cao Xiaoxin, and this glance happened to collide with Cao Xiaoxin's.
At this time, he also turned around and looked at Lu Qingshan.
"I didn't expect that I would have to fight Cao Xiaoxin so soon. I thought I would have to wait for another round," Lu Qingshan turned around and murmured, "But this could be intentional... When the difference in strength is not too big, putting cultivators of the same school together increases the viewing experience..."
In the eyes of many monks watching the battle, the fifth round of the competition was the most exciting battle between Lu Qingshan and Cao Xiaoxin.
"Lu Qingshan has a better chance of winning. After all, he is a master inside and outside, very comprehensive, and has no obvious weaknesses ." Some people support Lu Qingshan.
"How can this be calculated? In a fight, both sides should play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. What they are competing for is who can outperform their respective strengths." Someone objected.
Both Lu Qingshan and Cao Xiaoxin have many supporters.
Of course, if we really count, Lu Qingshan still has more supporters.
Because Lu Qingshan's inner sword is equally strong, and he is also younger and... more handsome.
The noise and discussions did not affect Lu Qingshan. He closed his eyes and rested, silently recovering himself.
It was not until an hour later that Lu Qingshan opened his eyes.
The battle for the strongest swordsman with Cao Xiaoxin is about to begin!
Even most of the powerful monks of Dao Sect were paying close attention to this battle.
Among them were the Master of Shuiyue Temple, the Master of Taibai Sword, the Master of Taiyin and the Master of Yishui Palace, all of whom focused their attention on Lu Qingshan and Cao Xiaoxin.
Lu Qingshan jumped onto the stage and stood diagonally opposite Cao Xiaoxin.
"Cao Xiaoxin, the name of the sword is Shudao." Cao Xiaoxin stared at Lu Qingshan and said seriously.
"Lu Qingshan, the name of the sword is Peach Blossom." Lu Qingshan responded seriously.
"The fifth round of the ring battle begins!" the Hanging Saint Master announced loudly.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, be careful!" Following the order from the Xuankong Saint Master, Cao Xiaoxin shouted loudly , and suddenly a green sword appeared in front of him, with waves like flowing water flashing on it, and then it split into twelve slightly thin flying swords.
Cao Xiaoxin waved his hand lightly, as if he was deploying troops.
"Cancong!"
One of the swords, named Cancong, immediately crossed the sky.
Wherever they passed, it was as if a ragtag army was passing by, with the sound of horse hooves and the sound of swords and spears.
The sword went straight towards Lu Qingshan.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan just smiled lightly.
go!
The Peach Blossom Sword made a faint thunderous sound and without any evasion, it directly killed Cancong, who had transformed into Xiang Shudao.
clang!
The peach blossom was chopped directly on Cancong, "tsk tsk tsk!"
As the momentum of the fighting stopped, the two flying swords collided with each other.
This is a test between the two.
However, Cao Xiaoxin, who was originally preparing to escape quickly, was surprised to find that Lu Qingshan had been moving in the original area since the start of the battle, with no intention of getting close at all.
——This was completely different from what he had imagined.
Lu Qingshan, who is the strongest external swordsman, was fighting against him who was good at sword formation, but he didn't plan to get close to disrupt his sword formation?
This scene made many monks watching the battle secretly gasp in amazement.
Some people have already vaguely guessed an extremely outrageous possibility.
"Is he planning to defeat Yu Cibei with his outer sword first, and then defeat Cao Xiaoxin with his inner sword?" A round-faced female cultivator standing next to Lingyue said in disbelief.
"It seems like this..." Lingyue's eyes were full of ripples as she stared at Lu Qingshan, who had a smile on his face on the stage, without even moving her eyes.
"Can Lu Qingshan win?" the round-faced female cultivator asked subconsciously.
"We will definitely win!" Lingyue said firmly with shining eyes.
"Why must it be..." The round-faced female cultivator was puzzled, and then suddenly reacted. Looking at Lingyue's excited expression, she wondered: "When you were eliminated by him just now, weren't you still talking bad about Lu Qingshan to me? How come you suddenly become so supportive of him..."
Ling Yue pursed her lips when asked by the round-faced female cultivator. Her earlobes turned slightly red. She said angrily, "The higher his ranking, the more face I will have! There is a huge difference between being eliminated by the top scorer and being eliminated by the top seven!"
Afterwards, Lingyue muttered subconsciously, "Although he can't possibly take the first place, he still has a chance of taking the second place..."
As for the fact that Lu Qingshan not only has a good appearance, extraordinary swordsmanship, and behaves unrestrainedly - he used his outer sword to defeat Yu Cibei, who is known as the strongest outer sword, and then used his inner sword to challenge Cao Xiaoxin, who is known as the strongest inner sword. All these behaviors made her feel particularly fond of and admired him, but she would not tell anyone about it!
Cao Xiaoxin could not hear the discussions of the monks watching the battle outside, but after discovering Lu Qingshan's actions and intentions, his competitive spirit was completely aroused.
He uses the inner sword because he only knows how to use the inner sword. Lu Qingshan uses the inner sword because he only wants to use the inner sword.
He would not allow his inner sword, which he was most proficient in and proud of, to lose to Lu Qingshan.
"A ray of light!" Cao Xiaoxin shouted softly.
Seven tiny flying swords, Cancong, Yufu, Mangran, Emei, Huanghe, Yuanhuai and Qingni, lit up and connected into a line, a frost line, flying towards Lu Qingshan.
There are seven flying swords, with seven levels of superposition. This sky-high formation will launch seven continuous attacks.
Lu Qingshan did not dare to underestimate it and immediately went all out. The killing sword intent and the embryonic form of the immortal true meaning were attached to the Peach Blossom Sword at the same time.
boom!
Bursts of thunder!
With the support of the two sword intents, the Peach Blossom Sword once again reached the realm of sword explosion and thunder sound.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Seven collision sounds were heard in succession.
The first four sounds are the clash between the Skyline formed by Cao Xiaoxin's seven flying swords and the Peach Blossom Sword.
After four strikes, the Peach Blossom Sword was running out of power and could no longer stop Yi Xian Tian.
Then, Lu Qingshan summoned the Five Elements Sword Armor and barely blocked the last three swords.
