Chapter 41: The Challenges That Follow
"What a weird attack!" Feeling the sharp pain in his arm, Xu Xiang was shocked, and couldn't help but take a step back.
In this collision, not only did he not destroy the ice steel sword in Xiao Ning's hand, but he also faintly received a trace of trauma.
Swish......
Xu Xiang swung his sword again, but this time he was more careful, and he didn't dare to easily contact the ice steel sword in Xiao Ning's hand again.
Xu Xiang restrained his hands and feet, but Xiao Ning's attack had been fully rolled out.
The sword rays were like wicker swinging in the wind, looking slow, but they always attacked Xu Xiang's approach when they were unexpected.
Faced with such a situation, Xu Xiang could only raise his sword to meet him, but once the long sword in his hand met Xiao Ning's sword, he would feel a sharp pain, as if all Xiao Ning's attacks could directly attack his body through the long sword in his hand. I changed the way I switched gears several times in a row, but to no avail.
For Xu Xiang, Xiao Ning only had scruples about the long sword of the pseudo-spirit weapon in his hand, and the other Xiao Ning would not take it seriously.
Although Xu Xiang's strength is not weak, there is a big gap between him and the real inner disciples, Xiao Ning has fought with the inner disciples of Tianhua Sect, and the one named Ximen Lie is a master among the masters, and he is at least a figure in the inner disciple gold list when he puts it in the Five Elements Gate.
Although there are some tricks when dealing with Zhao Teng, tricks are also a kind of strength. There is also Liu Yong, one of the nine king scorpions of the Scorpion Palace, who is a tough opponent. Compared to them, this Xu Xiang is obviously much more immature. The main reason why Xiao Ning didn't make a quick move to solve the battle was that he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of others.
The battle lasted for about a stick of incense, Xu Xiang gradually felt a little strained, although Xiao Ning's sword technique looked extremely soft, it had a strong restraining effect on Xu Xiang, every time his long sword was stabbed, it was as if it was in water, not only did it cost more strength, but it was also very difficult to control. It is easy to be led astray by Xiao Ning's sword momentum.
He couldn't beat Xiao Ning, and he didn't dare to take Xiao Ning's attack, and this battle has been going on so far, not to mention how aggrieved Xu Xiang's heart is.
Of course, in addition to these, Xu Xiang also had to face a more cruel reality, that is, in the battle with Xiao Ning, his spiritual power and physical consumption were very serious, but he could only follow the rhythm set by Xiao Ning, and he couldn't even get out.
As time went by, Xiao Ning was playing more and more easily, but Xu Xiang was miserable, and the whole person was so tired that he was about to collapse!
"I throw in the towel!"
Finally, Xu Xiang couldn't hold on, and if he continued like this, it was estimated that he would have to die of exhaustion on the spirit fighting platform.
"Senior Brother Xu concedes!"
said that he would concede, but Xiao Ning felt a pity in his heart, if Xu Xiang was stubborn and didn't admit defeat, Xiao Ning could make him consume so much that he couldn't get out of bed for half a month.
Xu Xiang gasped, sat on the spirit fighting platform, and said to Xiao Ning: "I lost, I will send you the bet as soon as possible this time, but don't be complacent, someone will look for you later!"
Xiao Ning didn't care, and said lightly: "As long as there is a bet, I will accompany you at any time!"
"Humph!"
After resting for a while, Xu Xiang finally regained a little strength, snorted coldly, and got off the Spirit Fighting Stage.
Xiao Ning stood on the Spirit Fighting Platform, still with a smile on his face, and said: "Everyone, this time I seem to have won again, if anyone still wants to challenge, as long as there is a bet, I will definitely accompany you!"
Xiao Ning knew that even if he didn't say this, there would be many people who would come out to challenge him later. So Xiao Ning no longer cared about it, and simply expressed his attitude.
"Boy, don't be arrogant, since you defeated Xu Xiang, you can be regarded as having some skills, but if you feel invincible in the world, then you are wrong, now I will challenge you!"
Rub......
As he spoke, a figure jumped onto the platform.
This person Xiao Ning is very familiar with, it is Zhao Fei, who has always had a grudge against him.
Zhao Fei didn't expect that today's situation would occur, originally he thought that the few people he found before would be enough to solve Xiao Ning, but he didn't expect that those people not only didn't solve Xiao Ning, but also put in a lot of resources.
Those people's bets, the Pure Spirit Pill and the Pei Yuan Dan were all given by him, no way, who let him take the initiative to invite those people, if he doesn't come up with this bet, it is estimated that he will not want to mix in this Five Elements Gate in the future, although there is the support of the ninth elder Dongfang Zhaori behind him, but the others are not alone, and Zhao Fei does not dare to offend too many people. He could only stubbornly divide most of his cultivation resources, and now that these resources had all entered Xiao Ning's pocket, Zhao Fei couldn't even feel more aggrieved in his heart.
Moreover, today he made another mistake, that is, to let Xu Xiang challenge Xiao Ning. Xu Xiang is one of the top ten disciples of the outer sect, if he wins, everything will be fine, but if he loses, there is no doubt that Xiao Ning will become the new top ten disciples.
As the top ten disciples who have been promoted, Xiao Ning and Zhao Feide's identities are almost the same. At this time, Zhao Fei had no one to invite, and among the top ten disciples, Xu Xiang ranked tenth, and he ranked ninth. It was just a little bit, and that pushed him to the forefront.
If he doesn't come forward, it's easy to imagine what others will think. Therefore, at this time, Zhao Fei also had to personally go out and challenge Xiao Ning.
Seeing Zhao Fei, Xiao Ning's eyes instantly turned cold, this kid has been looking for trouble for him, for this person, Xiao Ning no longer intends to teach him a good lesson, so he said: "You want to challenge me, but this bet has to increase, so let's not gamble more, how about half a year's sect welfare?"
Xiao Ning didn't plan to let Zhao Fei go easily, although it might be a bit troublesome for this Spirit Doutai to cause a human life, but no one could say anything if they added more bets!
"Okay!" Xiao Ning didn't mention the bet, but when he mentioned the bet, his teeth were crushed. Especially when Xiao Ning fought with him, he swore to increase the stakes, which obviously didn't take him seriously, and Zhao Fei naturally had a lot of anger in his heart.
Xiao Ning smiled slightly and said softly, "Please!"
Swish......
Before Xiao Ning's word "please" was finished, Zhao Fei had already made a move, what he was cultivating was the Haojin Sword Technique, and the long sword was wielding golden light, dazzling eyes.
In addition, Zhao Fei's current long sword has also been changed, and like Xu Xiang, it is a pseudo-spirit weapon long sword.
This Zhao Fei is worthy of being the ninth of the top ten disciples of the outer sect, and he is even stronger than Xu Xianglai.
Whew......
In the face of Zhao Fei's extraordinary sword technique, the expression on Xiao Ning's face remained the same. The ice steel sword in his hand kept swinging, still adopting an entanglement strategy, firmly controlling Zhao Fei's sword technique.
As soon as he handed it over, Zhao Fei felt bad. A very familiar feeling, once again welling up in my heart.
It was one day three months ago, and he was confident trying to teach someone a lesson, but the battle didn't go the way he expected. The final result turned out to be that he was beaten all over his head and lost his face.
"I'll kill you!" Thinking of this humiliating scene, Zhao Fei's emotions became a little excited, it was a nightmare in his life.
Seeing that Zhao Fei was getting more and more excited, Xiao Ning smiled instead. The reason why he used this entangled attack was to let Zhao Fei know that he could defeat him in this way at the beginning, and he still can.
"Kill, kill!" Zhao Fei's emotions became more and more excited, and the murderous aura became stronger and stronger. Because he felt that his sword technique was under Xiao Ning's intentional control, and it was becoming more and more laborious. Moreover, Xiao Ning's sword trick is very special, almost every sword is issued according to the way of the original fight, but Zhao Fei is powerless to change it, his sword trick is almost preset by Xiao Ning, so he can only follow Xiao Ning's rhythm.
A battle with predictable results, and everyone will feel crazy. Zhao Fei is naturally no exception, the more he beats, the more he feels that he can't win against Xiao Ning, and the more he fights, the more he feels that he will follow the old path.
"I'll fight with you, Haojin Feihong!" Zhao Fei insisted on holding on for a stick of incense, and his spirit finally collapsed. After a roar, the original scene was repeated again.
Xiao Ning was very cooperative, and quickly retreated when Zhao Fei issued the beckon of "Haojin Feihong", and then quickly rushed forward in front of Zhao Fei, intending to impress Zhao Fei with the ice steel sword.
However, when Xiao Ning's body approached Zhao Fei, he saw a smile on Zhao Fei's face.
"Do you think I'm really going to be as reckless as I used to be?" Zhao Fei's face showed a happy smile, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out towards Xiao Ning's chest, so close, he didn't believe that Xiao Ning still managed to escape.
Zhao Fei is also a character, after experiencing that blow, his mood has become much more mature, and he actually knows how to counter Xiao Ning.
Swish......
However, Zhao Fei still misunderstood Xiao Ning, and at the moment when Zhao Fei's long sword stabbed out, Xiao Ning's body suddenly twisted incredibly, and then reached Zhao Fei's side.
Bang Bang Bang ......
Xiao Ning's figure had just reached Zhao Fei's side, and the ice steel sword in his hand swung up, and a series of crisp sounds came out, and the spine of the ice steel sword flashed with cold light, and smashed down towards Zhao Fei with a slash on his head and face.
Xiao Ning came back from the Xiling Wasteland after several tests of life and death, and his state of mind was not comparable to that of Zhao Fei, a flower cultivated in the sect. Zhao Fei thought of leaving a move, how could Xiao Ning not think of it? So Zhao Fei was tragic again.
The ice steel sword in Xiao Ning's hand kept waving, and it didn't take until a cup of tea had passed before he finished fighting.
After Xiao Ning withdrew, Zhao Fei had completely changed his appearance, his head was blue and purple, and his face was more like a dyed bun.
At this time, Zhao Fei was completely stiff, and he still wanted to take revenge after being slapped on his head and face by Xiao Ning for the first time, but this second time, Zhao Fei didn't even have the intention of revenge, so he just stood there stupidly.
"This Senior Brother Zhao, it seems that I have won again!" Xiao Ning said with a faint smile.
"Wow......"
Zhao Fei didn't talk again, holding his head and crying. The same person, the same way, he actually lost twice in a row, even if his psychological endurance is strong, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand it.
"Xiao Ning, you are so vicious, you can't kill people too much, you humiliate him so much, it's good, then it's up to me to challenge you!" At this time, an angry voice came from under the Lingdou stage.
Xiao Ning didn't need to look at the person, he also knew who this person was, it was Xing Yun, who was ranked fifth among the top ten outer disciples.
