Chapter 120 Mental tricks
Gu Lan naturally didn't know the undercurrents among the audience.
She just knew she was angry.
Seeing that Lin Qingyu seemed unwilling to answer, Gu Lan pressed her further.
"What? Senior Brother Lin knows he's in the wrong and has nothing to say?"
Seeing Gu Lan questioning aggressively.
Lin Qingyu knew that she must be very angry.
After fighting with Gu Lan just now, Lin Qingyu also felt that Gu Lan's strength was not as bad as the rumors said.
Although it was still in the early stages of the fusion, he was very skilled in swordsmanship, and the two of them fought more and more smoothly, and in the end he was even forced into a corner.
The sword that was swung just now was a subconscious move.
I just don’t know what kind of force was involved in the process, which is strange?
Who wants to kill Gu Lan?
Lin Qingyu suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked at the opponent in front of him seriously.
He underestimated the enemy before, but now it seems that he needs to be more serious.
In this way, Lin Qingyu's anger towards Gu Lan subsided a lot.
He swallowed the sweet taste in his throat and wiped the corners of his mouth.
Lin Qingyu's expression finally straightened out.
In fact, when Lin Qingyu is not angry, his features are kind, and he is as elegant and refined as the scholar in the storybooks.
Following Gu Lan's words, Lin Qingyu said, "Although it is a competition, how can we win if we don't go all out? Neither you nor I need to worry, please."
Lin Qingyu was unwilling to explain more, he had his own pride.
If you can't gain the upper hand in swordsmanship, you have to use spiritual power to counter the sword skills.
Seeing that Lin Qingyu didn't explain much, Gu Lan became even angrier.
This person is so annoying.
It's very confusing.
Feeling angry, Gu Lan made a sword flower with the sword in his hand. He said "OK" and decided to go all out and definitely beat Lin Qingyu down.
The sword technique tests both one's sword skills and spiritual power. Lin Qingyu believes that his skills are higher than Gu Lan's, so he will surely win if they compete in sword techniques.
But Lin Qingyu took it for granted.
He never expected that Gu Lan's spiritual power was endless and inexhaustible.
Lin Qingyu, who was already struggling, was now stretched to the limit under the endless sword moves.
"The universe is my way!"
"Everything is hidden!"
...Several sword moves collided with each other, causing the wind to shake and the trees to tremble.
As the last sword move was uttered, Gu Lan turned his wrist, and the sword made of ordinary iron in his hand suddenly bloomed like a thousand flowers and shot towards Lin Qingyu as fast as lightning.
The sword energy continued to press towards him with a thousand pounds of gravity. Lin Qingyu felt as if there were mountains and rivers in front of him, or a surging ocean, completely submerging him.
In a panic, he had to use the Tianyan Sect's Thunder-Attracting Technique to deal with it.
"Heaven and Earth Thunder Type, respond to my magical power and break it!"
There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, followed by a bolt of lightning that struck down, but Gu Lan's sword skills were even better. It was like a roaring mountain torrent that broke through the thunder and lightning, and rushed towards Lin Qingyu with unstoppable force.
The sword techniques collided, and for a moment there was a glittering light, the sound of metal and stone was endless, and the figures of the two people became blurred.
In the trial field, two figures flashed by as fast as lightning.
Soon, Lin Qingyu's spiritual power was exhausted after he struggled to hold on, and he fell down with a feint.
The two sides were competing. Before Gu Lan could give his best, Lin Qingyu was already exhausted. He stood to one side with his sword, gasping for breath.
The gauze coat was torn by the sword energy and hung on the body like rags on a beggar. The cuffs and collar embroidered with golden silkworms were also torn by the sword energy in many places, revealing bloodstains.
On the other hand, after the sleeves of Gu Lan's clothes were pulled off by her, other parts of her body were not cut by the sword energy and remained intact.
It is obvious that Gu Lan is better in sword skills.
Gu Lan was leading by a large margin in points on the disc.
Lin Qingyu's face finally turned gloomy. Before anyone could react, he staggered, fell to the ground, turned his head, and spat out another mouthful of blood.
He lost.
Lin Qingyu felt confused.
Gu Lan saw blood on Lin Qingyu's body and realized that she had not dealt enough damage to him, so she hurried over and asked, "...Are you okay?"
Lin Qingyu looked up at the girl who was walking towards him anxiously, and suddenly felt disgusted.
No wonder, no matter how useless he was, he had never been beaten like this in the sect.
"No need to be hypocritical here." Lin Qingyu waved Gu Lan's hand away.
With a "pa" sound, it hit Gu Lan's hand, and Gu Lan's hand swelled up.
Even Gu Lan, who had a good temper, got angry.
Thinking that Lin Qingyu was still angry about the argument last time, it was too petty.
So he said in a cold voice, "I never thought that you, Senior Brother Lin, were so petty that you attacked me to death just because of a verbal dispute. I attacked me just now because you invited me to do so, and I did my best. Why do you have to be angry here?"
Seeing that Lin Qingyu didn't say anything, Gu Lan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
After a few breaths, he explained.
"Before, outside the competition arena, I saw you speaking rudely about my friend. I was angry and cursed you without restraint. Afterwards, I realized that I had said something wrong and tried to find opportunities to apologize, but I never found the chance. If you are angry at me because of this, then I apologize now. I just hope Senior Brother Lin will not blame me."
When Lin Qingyu heard Gu Lan say this, she knew she had misunderstood.
But he didn't want to explain, he just said calmly: "I don't care about that."
After he finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood foam. Seeing Gu Lan's red and swollen hands, he suddenly felt guilty for what he had done just now.
But subconsciously he glanced towards the audience and saw that Lingyao, who was originally sitting there, had disappeared at some point.
I don't know when she left.
Do you see yourself in such a mess?
Lin Qingyu suddenly felt bored and stood up silently.
He knew that his skills were not as good as others, and now he lost to Gu Lan, who was at the early stage, at an intermediate level. This was a great shame.
Naturally, I could not avoid being scolded by my master.
He said he wanted to vent his anger for his junior sister, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Gu Lan instead.
Lin Qingyu laughed at himself.
Losing is losing, and Lin Qingyu is not the kind of person who can't afford to lose.
In fact, as time went on, Lin Qingyu felt that Gu Lan was far more than just at the initial stage of fusion.
Because logically speaking, her spiritual power shouldn't be so abundant.
Moreover, she was actually standing in front of him very easily, which showed that she had not tried her best in the competition just now. This made Lin Qingyu very curious.
Lin Qingyu looked at Gu Lan's hand again and saw that her hand was red and swollen. She knew that she had hit her too hard just now and felt a little sorry.
"I didn't take the slip of the tongue to heart."
Lin Qingyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and repeated, "Don't remember this."
He then took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and said, "This is medicine. Just apply it on your hands. I lost my composure just now. I apologize for offending you. Please...don't blame me."
Seeing Gu Lan taking the medicine bottle, Lin Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Gu Lan was not a petty person.
Lin Qingyu couldn't help but look at Gu Lan.
He had not had much contact with Gu Lan, and most of the Gu Lan he knew was the Gu Lan mentioned by Lingyao and the gossip about Qianji Sect by his fellow disciples in the sect. The Gu Lan that was pieced together from those words was sarcastic and vicious.
He hated this kind of people the most in his life, so he couldn't help but stand up for Lingyao and felt very disgusted with Qianjimen.
The next few contacts and verbal conflicts with her deepened his disgust for Gu Lan.
But after this battle, Lin Qingyu realized Gu Lan's true appearance in swordsmanship.
If a person is really sarcastic and vicious, how can he use such pure sword moves?
At this point, Lin Qingyu's prejudice against Gu Lan was somewhat shaken.
He couldn't help but continue to explain, "I'm angry with you because of your character. People say you're mean and harsh, and often use despicable means to torture others. The disciples of the Divine Seal Sect have also been harmed by you using talismans. If a person who practices swordsmanship has an evil mind, he will never be able to master the swordsmanship."
"What now?"
