The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Top Ten Battle!
 

“This is Qingfeng’s most powerful sword strike! This sword has claimed countless lives!” Even Ying Qingfeng, who was watching the fight from below the stage, couldn’t help but stand up at this moment. “Victory or defeat hinges on this one strike! The sword descends from the sky, its force, True Qi, martial skills, momentum… All have been brewed to the pinnacle state! What’s more, Qingquan has today played beyond his level out of humiliation, the strongest sword he has ever struck in his life! The ultimate sword attack!”

The strongest sword of Ying Qingquan comes from the swordsmanship [Zhuri Falling Shadow Sword] passed down by Ying Kexin in the past. This swordsmanship has been passed down to this day, only half complete, but in the traditional martial arts of Huaxia, it is already a treasure in today’s constantly disappearing world. Half a sword scroll is enough to support the rise and fall of an ancient family.

This sword move, named “Falling Shadow”, is a killer move. Few in the Ying family can master it. Only a super genius with outstanding insight can demonstrate its strongest power!

In the blink of an eye, just as the sharp tip of the sword was about to strike Huang Xiaolong’s forehead, Huang Xiaolong stabbed upward with his longsword.

The longsword was still in its sheath. This stab was made with the sword and its sheath together.

Huang Xiaolong’s stab was very archaic, very simple.

This is basic swordsmanship.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The so-called basic swordsmanship is the swordsmanship practiced by martial artists when they first start. It includes chopping, stabbing, lifting, sweeping, poking…

Basic swordsmanship is so simple that even young children in the Ying family have already mastered it.

Yet today, Huang Xiaolong uses a move from basic swordsmanship to combat Ying Qingquan’s strongest attack!

It’s simply inconceivable and illogical, like someone using a kitchen knife to fight against fully armed special forces.

Whoosh!!!!

In the blink of an eye, Huang Xiaolong’s longsword, still in its sheath, collided with the tip of Ying Qingquan’s attacking sword as if it had eyes!

In an instant, the magnificent sword light extinguished!

Huang Xiaolong’s strike, like a snake darting out of a hole, has broken Ying Qingquan’s swordsmanship!

This seemingly simple stab hit Ying Qingquan’s swordsmanship’s most significant flaw, its greatest weakness!

What Ying Qingquan practiced was only half of [Zhuri Falling Shadow Sword], while Huang Xiaolong had mastered the entire scroll. Moreover, he had also absorbed Ying Kexin’s swordsmanship experience.

Ying Kexin created this swordsmanship, so his comprehension of it is incomparable to that of his successor, Ying Qingquan.

The gap between the two is as wide as the distance between heaven and earth.

The next second…

Clang!!!!

The sword in Ying Qingquan’s hand bent and broke.

Huang Xiaolong’s longsword, still in its sheath, relentlessly pressed forward, aiming straight for Ying Qingquan’s throat!

At this moment, with his sword technique broken and falling through the air, and his mind in confusion, Ying Qingquan couldn’t avoid this strike!

Just as he was about to be pierced through the throat by Huang Xiaolong’s sword and die a wrongful death, Ying Qingquan shrieked in fear and bent his head with all his remaining strength.

Thwap~~!!!!

Huang Xiaolong’s sword pierced through Ying Qingquan’s left shoulder, and blood spurted!

Huang Xiaolong laughed lightly, slowly pulling his sword from Ying Qingquan’s body.

A fountain of blood spurted out. Ying Qingquan fell to the ground heavily, rolled to the side in a great state of disarray, gasping for breath.

“Heh, I’ve said it before, I don’t even need to draw my sword to deal with you because you’re not worth it.” Huang Xiaolong taunted, looking at Ying Qingquan.

Ying Qingquan looked dazed after a narrow escape from death, clamping a hand over the wound from which fresh blood was pouring. His gaze was malignant, resentful, aghast, and shocked beyond words. “Basic swordsmanship… basic swordsmanship… you actually used basic swordsmanship to break my strongest move… how is this possible? It’s completely impossible…”

Ying Qingquan was devastated. His pride, his talent, his narcissism– all shattered by a single simple strike from Huang Xiaolong.

“In fact, you don’t understand swordsmanship at all,” Huang Xiaolong stated coolly. “What’s wrong with basic swordsmanship? It may be the simplest form of swordsmanship, but it’s also the most direct and has the fewest openings. Every advanced form of swordsmanship is based on the basics. If one can’t master the basics, they won’t be able to effectively utilize advanced techniques, and instead, their technique will be full of flaws.”

Huang Xiaolong’s words seemed to bring enlightenment to the many members of the Ying Family present at the square, as if they had been struck by the chime of an awakening bell, realizing the true essence of swordsmanship.

In the area of the Elder Group, the Family Head muttered repetitively, “Basic swordsmanship is the simplest, but it’s also the most direct and has the fewest openings… Good! Record what my son-in-law just said immediately! Let it be a family rule to guide the future generations! These words are truly insightful!”

Due to Ying Qingquan’s severe injuries, the referee declared Huang Xiaolong the winner and announced Ying Qingquan’s withdrawal from the competition.

With a smile, Huang Xiaolong hopped off the stage.

It was only then that Ying Chong’s faction finally registered the fact — Ying Qingquan had lost!

He was defeated by Huang Xiaolong!

And what’s more, he was defeated effortlessly using the simplest basic swordsmanship!

The situation was almost unimaginable, unbelievable, perplexing, and utterly terrifying… These descriptive words could barely express one-thousandth of the feeling.

“Qingquan! Qingquan was also defeated by that mongrel…” Ying Chong looked pale with a hint of fear showing up in his heart for the first time, and instinctively, he turned to Ying Qingfeng for help.

Ying Qingfeng’s face was ashen. “Hmph! Don’t worry, dad, I’m still here! Everyone will soon realize that I’m the true prodigy of Ying Household! No one can defeat me! Although that mongrel managed to defeat Qingquan, but it’s not a big deal if I were to fight with Qingquan, I would defeat him in a split second!”

Ying Qingfeng’s confidence and fighting spirit were unshakeable!

In the camp of Ying Xiao.

“Son-in-law is so formidable! Far beyond my expectations! It seems like his martial arts skills are at least on par with Aotian’s!” Ying Xiao marveled.

“No, father, I’m not his match. He always seems enigmatic as if he holds a deep, unfathomable secret. During his battle with Ying Qingquan, did he really give his all? It seemed as if he was just messing around. How terrifying is he really? I dare not imagine…” Ying Aotian admitted, looking deeply impressed.

Returning to his seat, Huang Xiaolong sat down with a lighthearted smile.

“Little Long, how much of your true strength did you use just now?” Ying Aoshan couldn’t help but ask.

“A tiny bit,” Huang Xiaolong replied nonchalantly.

A tiny bit?

All the members of Ying Xiao’s line were utterly flabbergasted.

The group stage was now over, and the top two scorers from each group would advance to the final round of the competition!

The Ranking Battle, also known as the Top Ten Battle!

Ten wood boards, each inscribed with the names of the top ten contenders, were placed into a wooden box by the elders.

“Fellow clansmen, what we are about to start is an exciting battle! The ultimate battle of this competition! The Ranking Battle, or the Battle for the Top Ten! It’s also point-based, with two points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. At the end, the top three with the highest points will be rewarded!” The Family Head loudly declared.
