Gu Qing was Gu Han's younger brother, and also Guo Nanshan's sword boy.
He was not born with Taoist quality, but he was very talented. Because of Gu Han, he was sent to Liangwang Peak as soon as he was born, and he had been learning sword from Guo Nanshan all these years.
Among the new generation of sword-washing disciples, his Realm was second to none. In the eyes of those who knew Liangwang Peak well, he might even be stronger than Zhao Layue.
However, he had been staying at Liangwang Peak all these years and rarely appeared by the Stream of Sword-Washing, so not many people knew of his existence.
Gu Qing walked to the Stream Rock and stopped.
The discussion among the cliffs and the stream didn't stop, but became louder and louder.
Gu Qing didn't take another step forward.
The position was the most important thing.
The Stream Rock he was standing on was dozens of feet away from Jing Jiu.
What did it mean? Such a long distance was beyond the attacking range of the State of First Preservation. Did Gu Qing enter the State of Inherited Will when he was at the stage of sword-washing? Not only did he get a glimpse of Tao, but he also possessed the attacking ability of the State of Inherited Will?
People were shocked. They didn't know that Liangwang Peak was hiding such a talented young man.
The expression on Guo Nanshan's face was quite calm.
Gu Qing had been his sword boy for many years. In fact, they were half master and half disciple, so Guo Nanshan knew Gu Qing's Realm and strength very well.
Guo Nanshan had planned to use Gu Qing to break Zhao Layue's spirit, but he didn't expect Jing Jiu to stand up in advance. Gu Han made this request again.
He knew Gu Han's mood, so he didn't stop him.
As for the result of this sword competition, of course there would be no surprise.
Gu Han stared at Jing Jiu below with a sneer on the corners of his mouth.
He didn't like Jing Jiu when he saw him for the first time at the foot of Sword Peak, because of Liu Shisui and some other reasons that were hard to explain.
Ma Hua said with a smile, "An uncut jade is worthless. I hope Junior Brother Jing can understand our painstaking efforts when he comes to Tao."
…
…
In the Inherited Sword Competition, the disciples could show off their best sword-riding skills, but when someone challenged them, it was better not to refuse.
Aoyama Sect cultivates the way of the sword, and they despise people who avoid battles.
Therefore, when Lin Yingliang challenged Liu Shisui, none of the teachers felt that there was anything wrong with it. Liu Shisui also accepted it very naturally.
But everybody knew that Jing Jiu was different from the regular disciples. For someone as lazy as Jing Jiu, who knew what kind of reaction he would give.
Including Xue Yong 'e, Junior Sister Yushan, and other old disciples of the South Pine Pavilion, many disciples were wondering if he would say, "I won't fight with you."
Other than Jing Jiu's temperament, the other reason why the disciples thought this way was because they could not see any hope of Jing Jiu winning.
Even if Jing Jiu had reached the Consummation of the Realm of Perfect Preservation, how could he be a match for a genius disciple who had entered the Inherited Will State in advance?
Separated by a distance of several dozen zhang, your sword couldn't even touch your opponent's body, so how could you talk about defeating him?
Since he was bound to lose, surrendering naturally became a possible option, even though it was a little embarrassing.
"Please."
Gu Qing cupped his hands, and the flying sword flew out of his sleeves. He stood still in front of his body and performed a sword salute.
Jing Jiu said, "Okay."
He didn't directly surrender.
There was a slight commotion by the stream between the cliffs.
Some people felt it was a pity, some were satisfied, and some sighed.
More people felt that what was going to happen next would be very embarrassing.
Junior Sister Yushan covered her face, and Young Yuan from Lelang Commandery comforted her in a low voice.
"Is this the so-called training? Or do you just want to humiliate him? "
Zhao Layue raised her head and looked at the cliffs.
The disciples of Liangwang Peak were standing there.
Of course, she remembered the fight with Master Zuo of Bihu Peak in the clouds of Sword Peak that night.
The gap between the realms couldn't be made up by talent and means.
Even if Jing Jiu had a magic treasure to protect himself like her, how could he use it in public?
Moreover, if Jing Jiu hadn't helped her that day, she would still have been killed by Master Zuo's sword.
As she was thinking about this, Gu Qing drew his sword.
Just like the disciples who had appeared before him, his attack was very simple.
As his robe sleeves fluttered, the sword light appeared and then suddenly disappeared.
A gray line appeared on the surface of the stream.
The ancient flying sword flew over a distance of hundreds of feet in an instant. Its speed and power didn't decrease at all, and it went straight to Jing Jiu's face.
Zhao Layue's black pupils shrank slightly.
Gu Qing had not only entered the State of Inherited Will, but was also close to the Consummation, which was similar to her real state.
When Gu Qing's flying sword arrived in front of Jing Jiu, he still didn't move, as if he was scared out of his wits.
Of course, this wasn't the real reason. People knew it was because Gu Qing's sword was too fast, so fast that ordinary disciples couldn't react at all.
Next, the flying sword would stop in front of Jing Jiu, only a few inches away from the center of his eyebrows.
Gu Qing said calmly, "Thank you for letting me win." Then the winner was decided.
Everyone thought they would see this scene.
However, it didn't happen.
A voice resounded from the surface of the stream and spread in all directions.
The sound was very clear, very crisp.
The wind blew across the stream.
The gray line suddenly stopped.
The flying sword fell diagonally and landed in the stream, causing a splash.
It was deathly quiet.
Countless shocked gazes fell on Jing Jiu.
What had happened?
Jing Jiu stood on the rock, as if he hadn't moved at all.
He held his sword casually, like a hunter holding a stick, looking for pheasants in the forest.
When Gu Qing's sword flew in front of him, he really swung it and smashed it down.
The flying sword was accurately hit by his sword, like a pheasant hit by a stick. It fell into the stream without a sound.
It was very quiet, and the sound of the stream was very clear.
Gu Qing even thought he could hear the sound of his blood flowing quickly.
At first, he wasn't sure what had happened to him.
Until he saw the very familiar sword in the stream.
His face was a bit hot, but it grew paler and paler, and a wild fire started burning deep in his eyes.
He suddenly raised his head to look at Jing Jiu, his eyes full of shock and anger, and shouted.
"Ah!"
Following this shout, the flying sword that had fallen into the stream flew up again.
This time, the flying sword was obviously faster, and its power was even more amazing.
More shockingly, the water in the stream turned into steam before it could drip off the sword. It was not hard to imagine how hot the sword was at the moment.
When the flying sword came to the middle of the stream, it started burning!
A line of fire illuminated the cliff wall, pointing directly at Jing Jiu with an amazing momentum.
…
…
"The Six-Dragon Sword!"
"How could he know this sword style?!"
Many surprised screams broke out among the cliffs.
The high standard of the Six-Dragon Returning to Sun!
What Gu Qing used was obviously the sword style of Shiyue Peak!
People were shocked.
The elder of Shiyue Peak who presided over the Inherited Sword Competition had a terrible look on his face.
The disciples of Liangwang Peak could learn any sword style of the nine peaks. Gu Qing grew up on Liangwang Peak, so it was not surprising that he could learn the Six-Dragon Sword.
The problem was that Gu Qing was only a sword-washing disciple, and Liangwang Peak taught him the sword style of the nine peaks in advance, which was something that couldn't be revealed to the public.
It was too unfair for those ordinary disciples who had no background.
Seeing Gu Qing use the Six-Dragon Sword of Shiyue Peak, many people in the cliffs were dissatisfied.
Yet, they understood why Gu Qing exposed his true prowess at the risk of being punished later on.
It was because Gu Qing was very angry at the moment, and wanted to defeat Jing Jiu in the simplest and most brutal way.
In the previous fight, he had lost in a very embarrassing manner.
Though he had underestimated his opponent, he couldn't accept that his precious flying sword was shot down by a colleague in a lower state in such a crude and unaesthetic way.
The burning flying sword flew toward Jing Jiu like a horrible Fiery Dragon.
Seeing this, Zhao Layue thought that if she didn't want to dodge the attack, she would have to rely on her Sword Heart to kill Jing Jiu.
She knew clearly that Jing Jiu didn't hide his Cultivation state, so he couldn't counterattack like she did. But she wasn't worried. She trusted this youth in white very much, and felt that he would have a way to deal with it. She didn't know if it was because of the encounter that night or some other reason.
