Chapter 111 My useless apprentice
At the critical moment, a smile appeared on Li Xiyun's lips.
He did not withdraw his downward kick in the air, because this went against mechanics and was impossible to do, but this did not mean that he had no way to deal with this "Moon Sets and Crows Cry" move.
If it were him, he would not have completed "Moon Sets, Crows Cry". The sword was too round, and the force was too blunt. It seemed unstoppable, but in fact, the moves were old, and there was no change except for this sharp stab.
The sword's light, shining with a cold glow, was about to pierce Li Xiyun's ankle, but Li Xiyun twisted his upper body, supported himself with his hands, and lifted his body up half an inch.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Han She's forehead. He watched Li Xiyun's ankle tremble, tilt to the side, then make an arc in the air and accelerate towards his right shoulder!
After a faint muffled sound, Han She's knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground!
Fortunately, the person in front of him was his master, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for a chief of the palace to be beaten to his knees.
Han She had been the head of the guards for several years and had his own pride in his heart. Even if he faced his master, he was confident that he would not be easily defeated, not to mention that his master was unarmed, while he was armed with a dagger and a long sword.
But the reality dealt him a heavy blow - even if his master was lazy all day and he practiced diligently, his master was still an insurmountable mountain for him in martial arts.
Since he chased his master, the two had three direct fights. Even though he was holding a sharp weapon, he was at a disadvantage three times.
"Do you know where you are lacking?"
Li Xiyun placed his feet on Han She's shoulders and did not move away in a hurry. Instead, he began to teach his apprentice slowly and leisurely.
"Impatient, complacent, arbitrary... you are so far off, so many that I can't even count them all."
Han She thrust his sword into the ground, the tip of the sword sank three inches into the soil. He held the hilt of the sword, forcing himself not to kneel down under the pressure of his master.
Li Xiyun said that he was "impatient, complacent, and arbitrary," which he found difficult to understand.
If you say "impatient", maybe he is somewhat close. It is a bit impatient to recklessly chase the enemy, but other guards would do the same. If nothing else, just for the generous salary they can get every month, they should work hard for the royal family.
But where does complacency come from?
Since he started practicing martial arts, Han She has always adhered to the routine of "getting up at yin time and resting at zi time", not only for inspecting the palace, but also for morning exercises with the guards.
Han She dared to swear to Li Xiyun that he had never slacked off in his martial arts.
What puzzled him most was the comment "arbitrary". Han She had no idea whether Li Xiyun was saying that he was too hasty or that he was too stubborn in his focus on getting the box back.
"The disciple does not understand what the master means."
Han She's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he immediately drew his sword from the ground. Li Xiyun raised his eyebrows and took two steps back leisurely, but saw that Han She did not stand up to fight again, but instead made a familiar starting move -
Forget River!
"Master, please give me some pointers!
Han She shouted angrily, as if thunder roared in his throat. He drew out the dagger from his waist with his left hand at lightning speed, crossed his hands, holding the sword in one hand and the dagger in the other, and slashed at Li Xiyun at the same time!
The Six Styles of Wangchuan are shocking!
Li Xiyun never expected that Han She would use Wangchuan in a kneeling position.
Wangchuan is not a technique of the Daxu Sword School, but a technique of the Japanese sect Bo Xingdao. Bo Xingdao is good at two-sword style, and Wangchuan Nine Styles is the sect's core technique.
Although Han She became Daxu's disciple, he was devoted to the pursuit of perfection in martial arts. He searched for martial arts manuals from all over the world and mastered almost all the martial arts in the martial arts world.
Now, Han She obviously cannot win with just the Great Void Sword Technique. Although the Great Void Sword Technique is powerful, his opponent is Li Xiyun, who has a deeper understanding of this art. Moreover, Li Xiyun knows him very well. As long as Han She raises his hand, Li Xiyun knows which move he is going to use.
If Han She only confines himself to this path, the result will inevitably be like an egg hitting a rock.
So he changed his tactics, and "Wangchuan" became his first hidden weapon.
The cold sword moves attacked, and Li Xiyun had to take several steps back. The double-sword style was not easy to deal with. He didn't have any weapons with him, and he didn't want to get close to Han She. That would be like sending pork to the butcher to be chopped into stuffing.
Han She's eyes fixed and he changed his sword-holding posture.
——This “Qionghua Sword” is his second weapon.
Li Xiyun also noticed that after Han She used the "Jingshen" move, he was no longer obsessed with using the remaining eight moves, but instead changed his sword technique and used the "Qionghua Sword" of the Xihai School.
The Qionghua sword rises and the white water surges!
Han She flew into the air, put the dagger back to his waist, and swung the sword with great force. It seemed as if there was a surging wave hidden in the sword energy.
For a moment, the air between heaven and earth was wetted by the tide. As for Li Xiyun, who was facing the "white water tide", what he felt was not the surging waves, but the huge waves that could swallow the sky and the earth!
"it is good!"
Li Xiyun couldn't help but cheer.
When facing an opponent with higher martial arts attainments than oneself, changing sword techniques is undoubtedly a smart move, so as to make the opponent unpredictable.
"White Water Rising" is indeed the best solution to take over "Jing Shen", and Han She's smooth transition is also due to his mastery of hundreds of martial arts.
However, this is not enough to defeat Li Xiyun.
A true martial arts master does not need to display any fancy skills. With simple responses, he can eliminate sharp attacks without them becoming visible.
The heavy sword hides its edge, and great skill is not elaborate.
With solid foundation, quick response and the ability to move heavy objects with little effort.
Li Xiyun looked at Han She with a little more recognition in his eyes. He put a little more strength in his fist and enthusiastically prepared to meet Han She's next move -
Three styles of Fengling Yueying swordsmanship, "pass the level without any damage"!
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” Li Xiyun had already anticipated Han She’s choice. He laughed heartily a few times, then his expression gradually became solemn, “Well done!”
Then, he threw a plain punch, facing the "no-injury clearance" that was falling like a meteor!
Fighting with fists against swords seemed to have no chance of winning. But Han She did not dare to be careless, because his opponent was his master, the inheritor of the Daxu Sword School - Li Xiyun.
If he was fighting against his junior sister, Han She would definitely deflect the sword before the fist and sword made contact.
This is not underestimating the opponent, but protection of the younger generation by the seniors.
But Li Xiyun was different. In Han She's mind, Li Xiyun was extremely great, and no one in the world could defeat him, not even his first disciple.
Even if his first disciple held the "Zhengxin" in his hand and his sword was as powerful as a rainbow, he still couldn't do it.
The fist and sword touched for only a moment, but the bloody scene that should have occurred did not appear.
Han She was not surprised at all. It was normal for his master to be able to deal with every one of his moves. He was just curious about how his master dealt with them.
Li Xiyun had nothing to explain. He just threw an ordinary punch, a punch that all martial artists in the world can use when they first learn martial arts.
With just this one punch, the tip of the "Zhengxin" sword broke, bringing this ridiculous contest to an end.
