Chapter 28: Fighting and Defeat

After the two of them saluted, Lu Xueqi stood with a sword behind her back, as if waiting for Su Changqing to launch the first attack.

“Senior sister, watch out!”

Su Changqing understood what he meant and took swift steps immediately. In an instant, the sword flashed and he leaped towards Lu Xueqi as fast as lightning. He slashed out with a sword in the air and shot out with the sword energy. Su Changqing followed closely behind and moved forward, slashing several more times with the sword.

This set of sword moves was linked together extremely skillfully, and the attack was powerful. To everyone, it seemed that Su Changqing had already used all his strength and wanted to defeat Lu Xueqi with one set of sword moves.

In fact, Su Changqing has already restrained his power. He only has a fancy appearance but is actually weak inside.

He didn’t want to reveal his true strength in a competition, but he couldn’t lose too badly, otherwise it would be easy for people to notice the clues.

In contrast, Lu Xueqi did not move at all. When the sword energy reached her, she slowly took out her long sword and held it horizontally to block it, instantly blocking all the sword energy.

“Huh? Why are you so powerless?”

Lu Xueqi muttered to herself in her heart, this sword move looked very aggressive, but when it came to blocking it, it was just like a gust of breeze.

Before Lu Xueqi could think about it, Su Changqing had already arrived with a sword in his hand. The sword in his hand immediately shone brightly, and he rushed forward and connected with several moves.

Suddenly, there was a bright light in the dojo.

I saw two figures intertwined together, making it difficult to capture them. Two kinds of sword energy, one white and one blue, were swung out continuously, making crisp sounds of swords colliding.

After trying a few moves, Su Changqing slashed again with his sword. Lu Xueqi flew away in the air, and fell down like a fallen leaf, and landed on the tip of Su Changqing’s sword. She stood on one foot with the sword on her back, as if she was supported by Su Changqing on the sword tip, her clothes fluttering in the wind!
The scene was so beautiful!
“Junior brother, how long are you going to hide?”

Lu Xueqi looked at Su Changqing seriously and asked silently in her heart.

After two or three moves, Lu Xueqi had actually realized that Su Changqing had no intention of fighting at all. Instead, he was using some ordinary sword moves to fight against Lu Xueqi.

There is momentum but no strength, it’s like she is being tricked.

The same behavior was exactly the same as when she first started learning kendo and her master taught her in person and made her fail time and time again.

“Since you don’t use any strength, I’m going to force you!”

Thinking of this, Lu Xueqi immediately focused her mind and directly regarded Su Changqing as the real opponent.

She leaped into the air, and the fairy blue sword suddenly soared into the sky. Her body was as fast as the wind, and it struck down right above Su Changqing’s head.

Before the sword hit the ground, Su Changqing’s white clothes fluttered and strong winds blew around.

Su Changqing felt the sword’s extremely sharp power and was stunned.

“Isn’t this a sparring partner? Why does Senior Sister really want to kill me?”

Although he didn’t know that Lu Xueqi would suddenly become so powerful, and even had the power to kill him, Su Changqing knew that if this sword really hit him, he would be seriously injured even if he didn’t die. He suddenly had a strong desire to survive and didn’t want to die from this sword because of his lack of ability.

Su Changqing was not panicked and had no intention of retreating. He drew out the sword and swung it above his head. Immediately, the sword energy was so strong that it cut out a breeze barrier on the sword edge.

In a flash, the two swords clashed together.

“Zheng!”

With a crisp sound, Lu Xueqi’s fierce attack landed on Su Changqing’s Qingfeng Barrier. Although the Qingfeng Barrier shook violently, it was intact and showed no signs of being cut through.

This scene naturally caught the eyes of everyone.

“How is it possible that Junior Brother actually blocked this sword!”

“When I was fighting with Junior Sister Lu just now, although I was able to block it, I was also defeated by this sword. Junior Brother was able to block it!” “Looking at Junior Brother’s appearance, it seems that he is still at ease and is not affected by this sword at all!”

Suddenly, everyone was amazed. Many of them had fought with Lu Xueqi before, so they had naturally experienced the power of this move.

However, the falling sword that none of the senior sisters could resist was easily blocked by the junior brother.

Of course, it was not just the group of sisters who were watching the fun who had such thoughts. Even the parties involved, Lu Xueqi and Shuiyue, were slightly shocked.

Others may not know but Lu Xueqi herself knows that although this “Ling Luo Sword Move” is not her ultimate move, it is one of her top three moves.

With her strength at the fifth stage of foundation building, even cultivators at the same level would have to use all their strength to block it. There was no possibility of blocking it at the third stage of foundation building or below.

The fact that so many senior sisters were defeated by this sword is enough to show its power, not to mention that she used all her strength in this sword attack on Su Changqing.

She originally thought that if her junior brother really had no strength, she would take back her power at the last moment. Although it might hurt her junior brother, she could find a way to make it up to him later.

But now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

“Damn! This is too big!”

Su Changqing only reacted when he heard the discussions around him.

Just now, he was only thinking about blocking the sword, relying entirely on his natural reaction in danger, without giving it too much thought, and inadvertently revealed 80% of his strength.

“No! We have to think of a way!”

Immediately, Su Changqing thought of the most helpless and worst way. He directly caused the spiritual energy in his dantian to surge. The spiritual energy in his body surged, and he retreated repeatedly and stood on the ground with his sword behind his back. A mouthful of blood was forced out by the spiritual energy. He looked at Lu Xueqi with a tired smile.

He looked like someone who was seriously injured by the sword energy.

Everyone was shocked.

Wasn’t it fine just now?
Why did it suddenly become like this?
“Senior sister is truly extraordinary! With just one strike of her sword, Junior Brother was unable to resist.”

Su Changqing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said to Lu Xueqi with a wry smile.

However, after a trace of worry flashed in Lu Xueqi’s eyes, she quickly returned to her cold expression, and even had a hint of anger in her eyes. She was not moved by Su Changqing at all, and she just fell to the ground and looked at him quietly.

She knew all about this little trick.

My move was completely blocked by him and I didn’t hurt him at all. Not to mention that this sword move only causes external injuries. Why is my junior brother pretending to have internal injuries?
It’s despicable that you’re still trying to hide your abilities at this time!

“Changqing, are you okay?”

Shuiyue descended from the sky on a flying sword and asked Su Changqing with a concerned look on her face.

“Master, I’m injured, but it’s nothing serious. I’ll be fine after a rest.”

Su Changqing stood up with the sword in his hand, and answered Shuiyue with a smile on his bitter face.

“Well, I’m glad you’re okay!”

Shuiyue nodded. She saw the entire battle. She knew exactly how Su Changqing was injured, and she also knew what Su Changqing was doing.

“Since you’re alright, why don’t you attend the ‘Seven Veins Martial Competition’ in a week?”
