"Ah! She flew up!" Qingpin Jian's small body drew a flying curve in the sky and then perfectly crashed into the back of Guhan! In less than three seconds, Qingpin Jian had failed spectacularly.
The precise process was as follows: Yixian attacked with her sword, and Qingpin Jian blocked with her sword. Unfortunately, Qingpin Jian swung her sword upwards, while Yixian thrust her sword towards her chest. Thus, Qingpin Jian was naturally pierced by Yixian's sword and was thrown back by the immense force, landing on Guhan.
"This sword maiden doesn't know any sword techniques at all!" Liunian Lin immediately saw that Qingpin Jian had swung her sword chaotically, just like a child randomly swinging a stick, with no discernible pattern. If it weren't for the personal shield protecting Qingpin Jian, that sword would have pierced a hole as big as a bowl.
"Guhan, does your sword maiden not know any sword techniques?" Liunian Lin asked, puzzled.
"Qingpin Jian doesn't need sword techniques when fighting!" Qingpin Jian climbed off Guhan, stomped her feet a few times, wiping the dust off her feet onto Guhan's shirt, and then brandished her Qingpin Jian, charging at Yixian.
"Hold on! My Zhanlong will be here in eight minutes!" Old Liu Lei shouted with a strong voice. Zhanlong was his sword maiden. She had already put down the items she had obtained from the battle and was rushing back to the Sword Burial Ground. However, in eight minutes, it was uncertain whether Liunian Lin could hold on.
At least, it was hard to believe that Qingpin Jian could hold on after being thrown by Yixian for the third time.
After Qingpin Jian was thrown by Yixian for the fourth time, Guhan was almost certain that Qingpin Jian really didn't know any sword techniques, just like the Sword of Goujian, the first awakened sword maiden, who had forgotten her sword techniques due to confusion.
Every sword maiden is born with one or several sets of sword techniques. For example, the Zhiyun Tiejian, as the sword of Yuntianhao, is born with the Zhiyun Sword Technique; Yixian, as the sword of Sun Yixian, knows the Cannon Sword Technique; even the Sword of Goujian is born with the Goujian Sword Technique, although she forgot it due to being the first to awaken and being a bit confused.
However, Qingpin Jian seemed to know no sword techniques at all. Even if she was a sword maiden who practiced square dancing, she should at least know some square dance sword techniques! But, whether she knew or not, it didn't make much difference.
"Fine, since I can't test it, it's my turn to take action!" Guhan thought and decided to let Qingpin Jian return to her sword form and fight Yixian himself.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Liunian Lin grabbed Guhan's sleeve. "Don't let Qingpin Jian fight anymore. If she continues, her shield will be broken!" Liunian Lin's expression was somewhat sad. This cute and pitiful little girl had been thrown by the enemy multiple times to protect herself, and she didn't want to see it anymore. It seemed that she had to take a risky action, such as temporarily cultivating a sword master.
"I don't plan to let Qingpin Jian fight anymore!" Guhan patted Qingpin Jian's head, his expression serious. "She has done her best. Now it's my turn!"
"I didn't expect you to have such courage!" Hearing that Guhan planned to fight, Liunian Lin showed a look of admiration. She had been unsure how to persuade Guhan, but he had offered to do it himself. Since he had such courage, she shouldn't be stingy with the techniques of the Liunian family!
At this moment, Yixian, having dealt with Qingpin Jian, once again aimed her sword at Liunian Lin and Guhan, who were lying on the ground.
"You have only one minute. Please remember these five sword techniques!" Suddenly, in this critical moment, Liunian Lin's personal terminal touched Guhan's personal terminal. Just as Guhan heard the prompt "You have received data from an external terminal. Do you want to import it into your consciousness?" Liunian Lin pushed Guhan away.
"I can only buy you one minute! My life is in your hands!" Liunian Lin said, struggling to get up from the ground, drawing a broken sword, and engaging Yixian in battle.
"One minute! Does she think she can hold on for one minute?" Guhan's lips curled, thinking to himself, "Overestimating herself, she can only hold on for 40 seconds at most!"
Although he didn't know why Liunian Lin was buying him one minute, the answer must be in the data she had just transmitted to him.
Guhan immediately imported the data into his consciousness and found that it was a set of sword techniques, a set of five moves.
From Guhan's perspective as a master of sword techniques, these five moves were very rudimentary and simple, just a combination of basic sword techniques with many flaws. The only advantage was that they were easy to learn and use.
However, when the five moves were combined, they were quite impressive. Depending on the combination, they could complement each other's flaws. And depending on the sequence, they could handle various types of enemies with different attack styles. When mastered, this set of sword techniques would be no less impressive than the specialized sword techniques of ancient martial arts schools.
Realizing this, Guhan understood Liunian Lin's plan. She was counting on him to remember these five moves and use Qingpin Jian to defend against Yixian. This Liunian Lin was planning to temporarily cultivate Guhan into a sword master, using Qingpin Jian in sword form to fight Yixian, competing in sword techniques!
In theory, when Qingpin Jian was in sword form in the hands of a sword wielder, Guhan's physical abilities would be enhanced to the same level as Qingpin Jian's, so he wouldn't be at a disadvantage in brute strength compared to Yixian.
Moreover, Yixian's sword techniques weren't particularly advanced, as she had learned the Cannon Sword Technique from Sun Dapao. He didn't need to master the techniques thoroughly; just being proficient in the moves would be enough to match Yixian.
However, the problem was that if Liunian Lin randomly picked someone, they wouldn't be able to master a completely unfamiliar set of sword techniques in one minute. Guhan would cut off his head and let her kick it if anyone could do that. In one minute, even a genius of Guhan's caliber who had never touched sword techniques could only memorize the moves.
"What are you waiting for? Start practicing!" Liunian Lin, who was fighting Yixian and covered in blood, shouted in anger when she saw that 20 seconds had passed and Guhan was still standing there.
"..." Guhan didn't know what to say. With his 12 years of sword technique foundation and extraordinary talent, he didn't need a minute; in ten seconds, he had already mastered the techniques in his mind. However, he didn't want to reveal his true strength. Since Liunian Lin was fighting to the death, he should at least make her feel better!
So, Guhan pretended to be clumsy and practiced the five moves.
"Amitabha, this guy isn't a complete fool!" Seeing Guhan practice, Liunian Lin sighed in relief. She didn't expect him to have such talent. Although his moves were clumsy and full of flaws, they were already 70-80% similar and could be used in combat!
Relaxing, Liunian Lin's sword technique also loosened, and Yixian immediately found an opportunity to break through her defense, piercing her abdomen and creating a wound the size of a ping-pong ball.
"Ah!" Liunian Lin groaned and fell to the ground heavily. Her bones felt like they were falling apart, and she couldn't muster any strength, only closing her eyes and waiting to die.
From the moment she pushed Guhan away to the moment she fell to the ground, exactly 40 seconds had passed!
"Haha, I overestimated myself! That kid is probably still practicing the sword techniques... Well, I have to use that thing!" Liunian Lin's mind entered the dimensional bag, planning to use something she had brought from her family. However, once she used it, the entire Sword Burial Ground would likely be destroyed.
"Yixian! Your opponent is me!" Just as Liunian Lin was about to use the item, a loud shout saved her. Guhan, holding Qingpin Jian, had somehow appeared in front of her.
"Have you learned the 'Five Moves of Liunian'?" Liunian Lin asked in surprise.
"Not yet, but I've memorized them!" Guhan replied humbly. He had not only memorized the moves but could also improve them.
"Memorizing them is enough!" Liunian Lin said quickly. "Now, listen to my commands. Do exactly as I say, and use the moves I tell you. Understand? You must follow my commands!"
"Understood!" Guhan understood everything. The mystery was finally solved. Liunian Lin had planned this. A newly awakened sword master who only knew the moves couldn't match Yixian's Cannon Sword Technique. However, if a highly skilled sword master directed this new sword master, the situation would be different. As long as the genius followed orders, blocking Yixian wouldn't be difficult.
By the way, the Liunian family was also known as the sword master family. Even the lowest-ranking family head had unparalleled sword technique skills.
Seeing Guhan's expressionless face, Liunian Lin thought he was afraid and encouraged him softly, "Don't worry, Linlin is a powerful sword master. As long as you follow Linlin's commands, you can hold on until Zhanlong arrives!"
Hearing Liunian Lin's words, Guhan's facial muscles twitched. The situation was too amusing. He, a master of sword techniques, was going to be taught by someone else... even if she was from the Liunian family.
