The technique Li Yan used was naturally the Undying Seal Technique.
This skill, to put it bluntly, is an advanced method of power utilization, mobilizing the fascia, using the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces to dissolve the power within the body.
Using the muscles and bones for execution, it naturally becomes more handy.
His current skill of force-dissolving is no less than that of the Taiji Sect.
But Gousheng obviously doesn't think so.
If it were Taiji skill, how could he not see through it?
"Why do you care what kind of kung fu others have?!"
Before he could ask further, the blind old Daoist behind him directly scolded: "There are countless martial arts in the world, different in name but similar in principle, nothing more than using strength against strength."
"Just focus on your own fight, talking so much for what!"
"Remember, the Five Elements seem to have form, rising and falling at your will; the energy should smoothly follow the sword, the eyes follow the sword. The steps should follow the waist's movement, the waist moves and the hands and feet become agile…"
Li Yan's eyelid twitched, and he glanced at the blind Daoist.
What a nonsense Chopping Wood Swordsmanship.
Does he really think I've never heard of the Emei Sword Technique?
No wonder this young boy's swordsmanship looked so familiar just now.
Swordsmanship emphasizes "seizing the outer gate."
The footwork of the Emei Sword pays special attention to stepping out obliquely.
The movement technique requires twisting, folding, inhaling, and exhaling, bowing and soaring.
The swordsmanship should resemble a swallow in flight, landing like a wind stopping.
He doesn't know the specific name of the sword technique, but the characteristics are extremely similar, the truth cannot be concealed.
It is definitely not any Chopping Wood Swordsmanship!
This blind old Daoist definitely has a deep connection with Emei.
But if someone wants to teach a disciple in secrecy, they must have their own reasons. Since they don't want to say, Li Yan is also too lazy to expose it.
"Yes, Master!"
Gousheng, being reminded, also came to his senses.
He focused his mind, formed a mantra with his left hand, stood on one foot, held the sword in his right hand, with the tip pointing at Li Yan, and even his expression changed.
There was a kind of awe-inspiring majesty.
Swoosh!
Another aggressive attack, closing in within a few steps, stabbing with the sword.
But this time, the swordsmanship was even swifter and more fierce.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Li Yan swung the wooden stick, blocking left and right.
As before, he still used skillful force, easily deflecting the sword, trying to disrupt the young boy's sword momentum.
But this time, the young boy also changed tactics.
His speed of sword strikes suddenly increased, combined with his footwork and wrist turns, like a continuous torrential rain.
Chink! Chink! Chink!
Sword light flickered, wood chips flew.
Although Li Yan could still easily block it, he was no longer able to interfere with his sword technique, and the wooden stick in his hands was about to be shaved down.
"Good lad!"
Li Yan was not frightened but delighted, retreated his body, retracted the wooden stick in his hand, and when the fast sword attacked, he suddenly drew with his right hand, side-stepped to switch shoulders, and leaned forward.
Bang!
The young Gousheng exposed his middle gate, got a shoulder hit, and flew straight out, performing a Kite Flipping in the air, landing firmly, and taking two steps back.
"You…"
Gousheng blushed, "How come you used boxing?"
Li Yan shook the wooden stick, smiled, and said: "Boxing comes from weapons, the body itself is a weapon, there's no need to be rigid."
"But you, what swordsmanship have you switched to?"
Gousheng licked his lips, "Pig Slaughtering Swordsmanship!"
Poof~
Li Yan almost burst into laughter hearing this.
The previous sword technique, he might not recognize.
But this set was famous.
It is Qingcheng Sect's "Female and Male Dragon Tiger Sword"!
It is said that this sword technique was created by Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling.
Not only that, but it is the "Sword Mother" of the Qingcheng Sect, many sword techniques are derived from it.
The Qingcheng Swordsmanship has another characteristic.
When first practiced, it focuses on speed and accuracy, using attack to stop attack, seizing the dangerous moment and intercepting. But once masterful, it deters opponents with its unparalleled sword momentum, returning to the true self with uncomplicated changes.
This Gousheng seems to be a few years younger than him, at such an age, to have grasped the true essence, his aptitude is terrifyingly remarkable.
And there's that blind old Daoist.
He was wrong, it must be a predecessor from the Qingcheng Sect.
"What are you laughing at!"
Seeing Li Yan smiling, Gousheng thought he was being mocked, and suddenly felt somewhat ashamed and angry, stepping left and right, coming with sword.
No doubt it's a Taoist sword technique, its footwork, clearly derived from Astral Step, stepping on the Nine Palace.
Young as he is, he still has much progress to make in Dao.
His sword strikes embody the changes of Yin Yang, achieving the wonder of this sword technique, but the sword momentum is insufficient, lacking the might of Dragon and Tiger.
And Li Yan at this point, having already roughly figured out the other's foundation, was too lazy to continue coping, held the wooden stick with increased power.
Clang!
Just when Gousheng's sword move missed again, Li Yan suddenly stepped forward, changing the distance between them.
In weapon combat, distance is crucial.
Movement technique, weapon length, these are decisive factors.
Apart from diligent practice, there's also real-time combat experience.
Many times, life and death are only a hairsbreadth apart.
Li Yan's sudden shift in distance also immediately disrupted the young boy's offensive, taking the opportunity before he reacted, the wooden stick abruptly braced against the opponent's sword hilt, avoiding the blade, twisting it with a flick.
Clang!
Gousheng's sword flew out of his hand, then his body froze.
Li Yan's wooden stick was already pressing against his throat.
"I lost."
The young Gousheng felt somewhat dejected.
Li Yan chuckled, shook his head, and said: "I am a few years older than you, have experienced countless battles, naturally, my experience is somewhat richer."
"With your aptitude, a few years later your swordsmanship will surpass mine!"
With that, he patted the young boy's shoulder, turned away with Wu Ba.
He originally wanted to probe into the blind Daoist's background.
But every time he glanced with peripheral vision, he found the other was always that nonchalant, uninterested appearance, as if indifferent to all this.
This blind Daoist, his Dao is beyond his understanding.
Curiosity may very well lead to self-embarrassment.
"Five years later, I'll come to find you again!"
Seemingly encouraged by Li Yan, the young boy earnestly said.
"Hahaha, good!"
Li Yan laughed and walked away without looking back, waving his hand.
It was only after they left that the young Gousheng picked up his sword.
