Chapter 277 Yin Zhiping vs Zhen Zhibing

As a junior fellow student, Zhen Zhibing saluted Yin Zhiping first, and Yin Zhiping returned the salute. Then Zhen Zhibing attacked first, and Yin Zhiping fought back.

Many fourth-generation disciples originally thought that this fight would not end so quickly. After all, they were all brothers from the same school and their martial arts skills were comparable. They had all practiced all the moves, so it might take several hundred moves to determine the winner.

However, as soon as the fight started, Yin Zhiping quickly gained the upper hand. Although his moves seemed ordinary, they suffocated Zhen Zhibing.

The fourth generation disciples were confused, but Qiu Chuji, Li Zhichang and others saw clearly that Yin Zhiping's swordsmanship skills were obviously far superior to Zhen Zhibing's.

After a hundred moves, Zhen Zhibing was already overwhelmed and completely unable to resist. He had to retreat quickly and then bowed in defeat.

Not only was Zhen Zhibing confused and puzzled, but even Yin Zhiping was stunned and speechless after his victory.

Xin Zhen nodded. His estimation was correct. Yin Zhiping's swordsmanship had now reached an extremely high level. Even if Qiu Chuji came, he might not be able to defeat Yin Zhiping in swordsmanship.

Qiu Chuji said: "Zhiping, wait and see how you perform the entire sword technique."

Yin Zhiping suddenly came to his senses after hearing this, nodded quickly, and then meticulously performed the entire set of sword techniques one by one.

After this performance, the fourth generation disciples immediately started talking about it.

"Hey, this move of soft oars has so many variations, why is it not like this when I learned it?"

"Ah, is the position of the small boat wrong? It should be three inches down, but now it's three inches higher, it seems to be more powerful."

"No, how can Tiaoxi Fishing be performed like this? This doesn't make sense. It rotates twice in the air... ah, yes, these two times are just enough to block the enemy's swords from all directions. Then, with a stab like this, the enemy will be absolutely unstoppable! Wonderful!"

……

The fourth generation disciples could still see it clearly, but Qiu Chuji could actually see even more. In his opinion, this new Quanzhen sword technique was more than ten times more profound and mysterious than the original version, and its power was incomparable.

Qiu Chuji was so shocked that he couldn't express it in words. He felt like he had seen a whole new world.

He has studied Quanzhen swordsmanship for decades, but he didn't know that Quanzhen swordsmanship could be used in this way!

Qiu Chuji couldn't help but glance at Xin Zhen in the crowd, but saw Xin Zhen nodding slightly at Yin Zhiping who was performing sword skills in the field, as if he was praising his apprentice for learning the sword method. For a moment, he just felt it was ridiculous.

But thinking back to the day when Guo'er faced Prince Huodu alone, he was frightened away with just a few moves. That foreign monk with amazing strength couldn't even block Guo'er's palm. Thinking this way, it seems that it is acceptable?

Zhen Zhibing had just accepted defeat sincerely, knowing that his senior brother Yin Zhiping was much better than him in swordsmanship. But when he saw his senior brother performing this swordsmanship, he was stunned and could not help but look at the young man.

Zhen Zhibing smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that his senior brother's luck was still better than his own. If he could accept such a disciple, then he would probably be the one leading the way today.

While Zhen Zhibing was daydreaming, Yin Zhiping had already stopped. Qiu Chuji said in a clear voice: "Today's small competition ends here. Your master will let you know after the candidates for the big competition are discussed. You can leave now."

The fourth generation disciples saluted in unison and then dispersed.

Xin Zhen was following the crowd and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Qiu Chuji say, "Guo'er, you stay. Zhiping, Zhibing, Zhichang and you third-generation disciples should also stay." The fourth-generation disciples dispersed one after another, leaving behind Qiu Chuji, Xin Zhen and a group of third-generation disciples. In addition to Yin Zhiping, Zhen Zhibing and Li Zhichang, there were also Cui Zhifang, Wang Zhitan, Shen Zhifan and about twenty other people.

Qiu Chuji glanced around and said, "Zhi Bing, Zhi Chang, what do you think of this sword technique?"

Zhen Zhibing cupped his hands and said, "Exquisite and powerful!"

Li Zhichang said: "I have been learning Quanzhen swordsmanship for twenty years, but I just realized today that Quanzhen swordsmanship is so profound and mysterious! I guess it's because I am too dull."

Qiu Chuji shook his head and said, "It's not because you are dull, it's because this is not the original Quanzhen sword technique.

The Quanzhen swordsmanship passed down by the ancestors is indeed not so profound and mysterious.

Guoer, tell me what's going on."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "This is indeed not the original 7749 moves of Quanzhen Sword Technique. The original one is the one I just practiced. Basically, I practiced the entire content of the original Quanzhen Sword Technique. I'm sure my Grandmaster and all the uncles can see it."

Qiu Chuji and others nodded. Although there were some mysteries in it that they themselves did not understand, they had seen them and they were basically in line with reality.

Xin Zhen continued, "As for the sword technique that Master has practiced, it is an evolution of my understanding of Quanzhen sword technique, based on the core of Quanzhen internal energy and the core of Quanzhen sword technique, so it is actually a pure Xuanmen Quanzhen martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji sighed and said, "Guo'er's swordsmanship may have surpassed that of Master Chongyang, otherwise he would not have been able to evolve the Quanzhen swordsmanship to such a level.

Now that the Quanzhen Sect has this set of swordsmanship, the world’s swordsmanship will be based on Quanzhen…”

When Qiu Chuji said this, the other disciples already understood what Qiu Chuji meant.

The reason why Quanzhen Sect is known as the orthodox Taoist sect in the world is, on the one hand, because of its status in Taoism, but it is the Quanzhen Sect's internal skills that laid the foundation. The Quanzhen Sect's internal skills are known as the orthodox internal skills in the world, and it is precisely these Quanzhen Sect's internal skills that established the Quanzhen Sect's status.

However, although the Quanzhen Sect's internal strength is amazing and can be regarded as the best in the world, as long as the disciples practice step by step, they can reach an extremely high level.

However, the Quanzhen swordsmanship is difficult to be ranked among the best. Although Master Chongyang defeated the other four masters in the Huashan Sword Contest, he actually relied on the Xiantian Gong, not the Quanzhen swordsmanship.

Quanzhen swordsmanship is considered first-rate in the martial arts world, but it is difficult to match Quanzhen internal strength.

As a result, ever since the passing of founder Chongyang, the Quanzhen Sect has not been able to produce a person who can become one of the Five Great Masters by relying on Quanzhen internal energy and Quanzhen swordsmanship.

The reason why Zhou Botong's junior uncle became one of the Five Great Masters was because of his skills in fighting with both hands and Kongming Fist, not his Quanzhen swordsmanship.

Basically, it can be concluded that Quanzhen internal energy is indeed one of the top internal energy techniques in the martial arts world, but Quanzhen swordsmanship is not a top martial arts move like the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and One Finger Zen.

Therefore, even if Master Qiu Chuji has strong internal strength today, it is still difficult for him to be among the top five masters!
