Heavenly Hall Back mountain, deep in a bamboo forest.
Ying Xiaoxiao is practicing her sword, dressed in black clothes, with green silk like a waterfall, Azure Luan Sword turns into a stream of cyan light in her hand, the sword light is like a rainbow, Sword Qi cuts the surrounding bamboo leaves in various directions.
Sword Intent is harmonious, the sword moves are sharp, each sword is just right, and can be retracted and released freely.
Luo Heng looked at her sword skills and nodded secretly in his heart.
<Tai Xu Swordplay> In the second form "Void Slash", she has practiced to the Dacheng state, and Sword Intent has also been completely stabilized in the perfection state.
Her talent is already high, but she has never been exposed to this level of swordsmanship before. Now with the guidance of Luo Heng, her progress is rapid.
Ying Huanhuan stood next to Luo Heng. When he saw his sister practicing swordsmanship, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes and he murmured in a low voice, "How handsome. My sister's swordsmanship is getting better and better."
Luo Heng smiled and did not answer.
After a while, Ying Xiaoxiao put away his sword, turned around, saw Luo Heng and his sister, was slightly startled, and said, "Why are you here?"
Ying Huanhuan said with a smile, "Brother Heng said he wanted to come and watch his sister practice swordsmanship, so I brought him here."
Luo Heng glanced at her, this girl, she obviously insisted on bringing him here, but now he wanted to come.
Ying Xiaoxiao looked at Luo Heng, a hint of complexity flashed in his cold eyes, and said softly, "Senior Luo Heng... Brother, what do you think of my swordsmanship?"
I'm really not used to calling him senior brother. Luo Heng has not yet been a member of the sect for a year, but he has become the strongest disciple.
"Sword Intent is smooth and can send and receive freely. The basic second move of <Tai Xu Swordplay> has been completely mastered." Luo Heng nodded and praised, "With your current attainments, your understanding of the sword is far beyond that of your peers."
Ying Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She was happy to be praised like this by Luo Heng.
"But." Luo Heng changed the subject.
Ying Xiaoxiao's heart tightened and she looked at him seriously.
"When you used 'Void Slash' just now, the integration of Sword Intent and Primal Energy was not close enough." Luo Heng walked up to her, reached out and took Azure Luan Sword, and said, "The essence of 'Void Slash' does not lie in the action of 'cutting', but in the artistic conception of 'empty'."
He waved his hand casually, and a very light gray sword mark swept out from the tip of Azure Luan Sword, making no sound, but it cut a huge boulder a hundred feet away, and the cross section was as smooth as a mirror.
"The sword comes out without a shadow and cuts things without a sound. This is 'Void Slash'." Luo Heng finished speaking and returned the sword to her.
Ying Xiaoxiao took the sword and looked at the huge cut stone a hundred feet away, his eyes gradually changed from thinking to a hint of understanding.
She closed her eyes and slowly raised Azure Luan Sword in her hand.
Sword Intent condenses but does not vomit, Primal Energy induces but does not vomit.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
She opened her eyes suddenly and slashed out with her sword.
A light gray sword mark swept out from the tip of the sword, silently, cutting a crack several feet long in the bamboo forest a hundred feet away.
Although it is not as light as Luo Heng, it has improved a lot compared to before.
"Not bad." Luo Heng praised.
Ying Xiaoxiao put away his sword, looked at him, slightly curved his mouth, and said softly, "Thank you, senior brother, for your advice."
When she called "senior brother", her tone was very soft, with an indescribable feeling.
Luo Heng smiled and said, "You're welcome, your talent is already good, I just pushed you from the side."
Ying Huanhuan watched from the side, snickering secretly in his heart, but his sister always looked cold, Brother Heng had to work harder.
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore." Ying Huanhuan said with a smile, and then added, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
She blinked at Luo Heng, turned around and ran away, her ponytail flying in the wind.
Only two people, Luo Heng and Ying Xiaoxiao, were left in the bamboo forest.
Ying Xiaoxiao looked at his sister's leaving figure, and of course he knew what that girl was thinking. He sighed in his heart and said nothing.
Luo Heng The corners of her mouth twitched, this girl...
Then he looked at the crack cut by Ying Xiaoxiao in the bamboo forest and suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, Sect Tournament is coming soon, how are you prepared?"
Ying Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment and said, "Little Three Kings of the Yuan Sect is stronger than Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage. Yuan Cang has even half-stepped into Life Xuan Stage. I just don't know if they have broken through to Life Xuan Stage now."
She paused and continued, "With my current strength, I don't have much chance of winning against Yuan Cang, but fortunately I have you."
"That guy has liked Qingzhu for a long time. After hearing so many deeds between me and her, there will definitely be a fight in the future." Luo Heng spoke calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but with a faint smile on his lips, he said, "That fight will be when he dies."
Ying Xiaoxiao looked at him, a hint of complexity flashed in his cold eyes.
She has seen many sides of Luo Heng, including his ruthlessness and decisiveness towards his enemies, his gentleness and calmness towards his friends, and his pampering and tenderness towards his sister.
But at this moment, she saw the murderous intent in his eyes, which was not directed at her, but she felt an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.
Yuan Cang, Yuan Sect Little Three Kings Leader, Eastern Xuan Region is a genius second only to Ling Qingzhu among the younger generation, and a strong man who has half a foot in Life Xuan Stage.
This name, in Luo Heng's mouth, seems to be just an ant that can be crushed to death at any time.
"Are you sure?" Ying Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
Luo Heng glanced at her and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Ying Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
She thought of Luo Heng's calmness in cutting through a hundred-foot-long boulder with just one sword, and how he had been able to move Hall Examination with ease from the beginning to the end without exerting all his strength.
This man never does anything he's not sure about.
"Then I'll be relieved." Ying Xiaoxiao said softly.
Luo Heng looked at her and suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, what are you worried about?"
Ying Xiaoxiao was slightly startled and said nothing.
"Sect Tournament, you just need to protect yourself." Luo Heng looked at her seriously, and then said, "I'm here for the rest."
Ying Xiaoxiao looked at him, and a warm current surged in his heart.
She knew that Luo Heng just said something casually and nothing special, but the three words "I'm here" made people feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
"Okay." She nodded.
Luo Heng smiled and said nothing more.
The two stood side by side in the bamboo forest, with the breeze blowing and the bamboo leaves rustling.
Ying Xiaoxiao Looking at the long shadows of the two people on the ground, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
She and Luo Heng have not known each other for a long time. Over the past six months, the two of them have gone from strangers at first to familiarity to now... like this.
She didn't know how to describe this relationship. It was closer than a friend, but worse than a lover.
Maybe it's the feeling of breaking through the window paper.
"Luo Heng." Ying Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
"Huanhuan, that girl always brings us together." Her voice was very soft, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was asking him, "You just let her do whatever you want?"
Luo Heng was silent for a moment, then turned to look at her.
Ying Xiaoxiao also turned his head, and their eyes met in the air.
The sun shines on her face, and her beautiful face looks particularly soft in the light and shadow. Her green hair is like a waterfall, her clothes are like ink, and her cold eyes contain a hint of indescribable emotion.
"Do you think she's fooling around?" Luo Heng asked.
Ying Xiaoxiao was slightly startled, looked away, and said softly, "I don't know."
Luo Heng didn't ask any further questions, just smiled and said, "Then let nature take its course."
Ying Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment and said softly "Hmm".
The two stopped talking, just stood side by side, watching the sea of clouds billow in the distance.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Deep in the distant bamboo forest, Ying Huanhuan squatted behind a big tree, stuck out half of his head, and secretly looked at the two figures standing side by side in the bamboo forest, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"Sister, sister, I'm helping you, you have to seize the opportunity."
