Chapter 51 Golden Summit Nine Styles
Chapter 51 Golden Summit Nine Styles
Song Qingshu spared no praise, showering Zhou Zhiruo with admiration.
"Senior Brother Song's Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate are also extremely powerful; I almost couldn't withstand them."
Zhou Zhiruo said with a smile, but she felt quite helpless inside.
I had been thinking of sparring with someone since I came down the mountain half a month ago, so as not to become rusty in my martial arts skills.
Who would have thought that Song Qingshu would hold back during their sparring sessions, making it a complete waste of time and failing to hone their skills?
Suddenly, Zhou Zhiruo's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Qianbei return.
This seems like a better opponent.
Last night, Zhou Zhiruo saw Gu Qianbei break through to the late stage of the Acquired Realm and knew that his strength was not simple.
Although I am an elite disciple of the Emei Sect and have already broken through to the late stage of the Acquired Realm half a year ago, I might be stronger than my opponent, but my opponent should have the strength to spar with me.
"Manager Gu!"
Zhou Zhiruo waved to greet Gu Qianbei. Gu Qianbei snapped out of her reverie, smiled and nodded, but her mind was still replaying the swordplay they had just exchanged.
"The sword techniques of Emei and Wudang are indeed exquisite."
Gu Qianbei sighed inwardly.
He now wants to learn a weapon, so he is quite interested in the sword sparring between the two.
Moreover, the cultivation levels of these two individuals were the same as his, both being at the late stage of the Acquired Realm.
As expected of an elite disciple of Wudang and Emei, their strength is truly formidable.
"Manager Gu, how about we have a friendly spar?"
Zhou Zhiruo extended an invitation to Gu Qianbei.
Gu Qianbei agreed without much thought.
Because he also wanted to see Zhou Zhiruo's swordsmanship again.
"Junior Sister Zhiruo, how can we trouble Manager Gu with such a matter? Let me continue our sparring."
Song Qingshu, not wanting to miss the opportunity to practice swordsmanship with Zhou Zhiruo, spoke up to stop her.
"Senior Brother Song, I would like to learn about more different schools of martial arts."
"Well... okay."
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo's words, Song Qingshu had no choice but to give up.
At that moment, Gu Qianbei walked up to Zhou Zhiruo and said with a smile, "Miss Zhou, please."
"Watch out, Manager Gu!"
Zhou Zhiruo drew her sword, a flash of clear, cold light passing by quickly, and immediately unleashed the Golden Summit Nine Forms!
This is one of the basic sword techniques of Emei, a sword technique that the predecessors of Emei comprehended on the Golden Summit of Emei.
Its moves are meticulous and rigorous, combining offense and defense, and blending strength and flexibility.
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo unleashed a move called Golden Peak Buddha Light, her long sword thrusting straight at Gu Qianbei.
The sword energy pierced the air with a subtle sharp sound, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of Gu Qian's cup noodles.
Gu Qianbei calmly took a step forward, then soared into the air, like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying high.
Phoenix Dance in Six Illusions!
Gu Qianbei's figure swayed, seemingly transforming into two phantoms, drifting left and right, his toes lightly touching the bluestone slabs without making a sound.
Zhou Zhiruo's sword tip was only half an inch in front of him, but it only grazed his sleeve and ultimately only struck a piece of empty air.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked surprised.
Clearly, he hadn't expected his sword strike to be so easily dodged.
At the same time, she was also amazed by Gu Qianbei's lightness skill.
So fast!
Of course, Zhou Zhiruo wasn't the only one who was shocked; Song Qingshu was also deeply moved.
Upon seeing this, Song Qingshu's pupils contracted, and he looked at Gu Qianbei in disbelief.
"I never expected to misjudge him. This Manager Gu's cultivation level is actually no less than mine. Moreover, the mystery of his lightness skill is astonishing."
I wonder if Junior Sister Zhiruo can win.
Song Qingshu looked at Zhou Zhiruo with concern, only to see Zhou Zhiruo flip her wrist and suddenly change the sword's momentum!
The second move!
A fierce wind pushes the clouds!
Suddenly, his sword speed increased, catching up with Gu Qianbei's figure. The sword light was like a whirlwind, layer upon layer, covering everything within three feet of him!
The sword hummed softly, like a thunderclap, and its tip swiftly struck, aiming straight for Gu Qianbei's vital chest and abdomen!
This sword strike combines both strength and gentleness, showcasing the exquisite and ever-changing nature of the Nine Golden Peak Techniques.
Gu Qianbei took in all the changes, but his movements were not slow at all.
He moved with surprising agility, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes left, sometimes right, effortlessly dodging the fierce sword strikes.
Its figure was ethereal, leaving two afterimages, seemingly real yet illusory, making it difficult to grasp.
Zhou Zhiruo's airtight sword moves were always off target by the slightest margin, unable to touch his body at all.
After several moves, Zhou Zhiruo failed to achieve anything, while Gu Qianbei witnessed the exquisite beauty of the Nine Golden Peak Forms.
"These Nine Forms of the Golden Summit combine strength and gentleness; they are quite a good sword technique."
Leaving aside Gu Qianbei's thoughts, Zhou Zhiruo was becoming increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.
She had practiced the Nine Forms of the Golden Summit since childhood and was well aware of their power.
Ordinary martial artists would not be able to dodge, let alone even see the shadow of a sword.
Gu Qianbei not only moved with incredible speed, but also always managed to narrowly avoid being attacked.
One or two times could be a coincidence, but the fact that it has been happening all the time clearly indicates that the Nine Golden Peaks pose no threat to Gu Qianbei.
This is clearly an old man teasing a mischievous child!
After several more moves, Gu Qianbei saw that Zhou Zhiruo's moves were becoming repetitive, so he lost interest in continuing the fight and immediately decided to end it.
Gu Qianbei's figure suddenly froze, and he stopped dodging.
He quickly raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers forming a sword-like gesture, all his internal energy gathering at his fingertips, a sharp and unstoppable force subtly emanating from them.
Sunflower Acupuncture Technique!
Gu Qianbei moved like a white phoenix, his fingers like shooting stars, aiming straight for the spine of the longsword in Zhou Zhiruo's hand.
This is exactly where Zhou Zhiruo's hesitation lay when she changed her move!
Ding!
With a clear, crisp sound, the finger force collided with the spine of the sword!
A seemingly casual flick of the finger contains an unparalleled and powerful force.
Zhou Zhiruo felt a tremendous force surge through the sword, penetrating her wrist and causing her hand to go numb.
With a whoosh, the longsword flew out of his hand, drawing a bright silver arc in the air before piercing diagonally into the stone wall beside him.
The blade had sunk several inches deep, and the sword was still trembling slightly, emitting a buzzing sound.
The outcome is decided!
"Junior Sister Zhiruo!"
Song Qingshu was shocked and quickly stepped forward to check Zhou Zhiruo's right hand.
Are you alright?
Zhou Zhiruo shook her head slightly and said to Gu Qianbei, "Manager Gu, your lightness skill and finger techniques are truly amazing. I am no match for you at all."
"Thank you for your concession."
Although she lost, Zhou Zhiruo was not angry at all; on the contrary, she was quite happy.
She benefited greatly from this battle.
However, there are always people who disagree.
"Manager Gu's martial arts skills are indeed impressive. I would like to learn from him. I wonder if Manager Gu could give me some pointers?"
Song Qingshu looked at Gu Qianbei, his eyes filled with fighting spirit and anger.
His beloved woman's hand had been numb by Gu Qianbei's attack, so of course he had to do something to help her get revenge.
Firstly, it would prove his strength, and secondly, it would be a way to avenge Zhou Zhiruo.
In Song Qingshu's view, Zhou Zhiruo must be very sad to lose, which is a good opportunity for him to play the hero and save the beauty.
"Young Master Song is willing to offer his guidance, and I would be most grateful."
Gu Qianbei saw through Song Qingshu's little scheme, but he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to spar.
Having just witnessed the Nine Forms of the Golden Summit, he also wanted to see Song Qingshu's Wudang Kung Fu.
