The moment their eyes met, Sato had already launched his attack.
Although he still didn't know the origin of that young man, he could already feel the obvious murderous intention and the pressure of being an absolutely powerful enemy.
In the face of this situation, saying one more word or wasting any effort may cause you to lose the opportunity.
The only way to be stronger is to strike first, please give me a quick word!
Quick! quick! quick! quick! quick!
It was just a moment, an action for him to draw the sword.
But after this action, thirty or forty shining afterimages of sword light burst out in mid-air.
It was a half-moon-shaped sword light, flying out from the bow of the ship and speeding away against the sea.
The light of the knife cuts through the waves and cuts through the water droplets. It is extremely thin and surprisingly sharp.
Su Hanshan didn't even look at the bright sword lights. Without any warning, his body suddenly rose more than thirty meters. He pushed forward with his right hand and swooped down towards the ship.
Strangely enough, he was clearly out of the range of those bright sword lights.
But the palm in front of him made the sound of hundreds of sharp blade collisions as he dived down, accompanied by constant flashes of sparks.
It seemed like there was a high-speed blade that was invisible to the human eye, slashing horizontally and vertically, layer upon layer, on his palm.
That is the sword of eight virtues! !
The so-called eight virtues are the names for the eight body functions in the Buddhist Tantric martial arts theory, which are divided into eight manifestations: firmness, moistness, warmth and tranquility.
In essence, these eight merits are similar to the seven souls method, but the seven souls method only needs to cultivate seven kinds of vitality, so that one's own skills can be harmonized to the extent that they naturally react with the vitality of heaven and earth, while the eight merits method, It is necessary to cultivate eight kinds of vitality.
But within Fusang Kingdom, the authority in martial arts theory is basically divided into two parts. Half of them learn the Three Pills and Seven Spirits method of the Central Plains, and the other half learn the Eight Merit Methods.
If there were one more step and no additional benefits, it would be impossible for the eight tantric virtues to be so widely spread and continue to this day.
The last two of the eight merits are called "no sight" and "no hindrance".
A person who has cultivated "invisibility" has such strong concentration that neither humans nor non-humans can observe his actions.
Those who have cultivated "no obstacles" can walk through walls without any hindrance, just like playing freely.
Layers think that these two kinds of merits refer to magical powers such as becoming invisible and walking through walls, but this is not the case.
The eight merits and virtues are, after all, also a way to practice qi.
Invisible and unobstructed, it refers to cultivating the vitality of the human body to a state of colorless and formless. When it penetrates the physical object, there will be no refraction phenomenon and no loss of its own power until it hits the target. Only then did the effect explode.
Sato Keimori Saitaro, in the Fuso Kingdom, is known as the unparalleled contemporary swordsman who can "break trees through paper".
Use a piece of imported rice paper so thin that you can see the portrait of the person on the opposite side, fall with the wind, stick it to the tree trunk, and suddenly draw the knife.
The blade hit the paper, but the paper was not damaged. However, the old tree, as thick as five people could hug it, broke on the spot, and the fracture was as smooth as ice.
If you drop water on the fracture, it will slide to the side just like dripping on the best mirror, leaving no trace of water.
This is a manifestation of cultivating the Eight Virtues to the extreme.
The bright sword light that Sato drew and swung was just a cover-up. The invisible sword energy that arced across the sky and hit Su Hanshan overwhelmingly was his real killing move.
But Su Hanshan's response method made Sato's heart suddenly sink. He stepped on his feet and his figure was about to retreat quickly.
That’s all if you can intuitively detect the existence of the Eight Merit Sword Qi.
But those sword qi should have penetrated all-pervasively, looked for flaws, launched attacks on different parts of Su Hanshan's body, and even penetrated into his body to take effect.
The moment Su Hanshan raised his right hand, it all hit his palm uncontrollably, and all collided and canceled out on the surface of his palm...
Yes, Su Han Shan did not use his palms to fight against the sword energy, but let all the sword energy collide with each other and destroy each other.
This made Sato realize that the other party's knowledge of the human body's internal energy and external energy was better than his own.
If such an opponent only fights alone in his current posture, the chance of winning is definitely less than half! !
When Sato's figure suddenly retreated, Su Hanshan was already above the bow deck.
The straight-line distance between the two people was shortened to less than twenty meters.
Sato roared, and the steel knife in his hand suddenly exploded.
The broken triangular steel blade did not hit Su Hanshan directly, but scattered and spun around.
Each blade fragment is like a spring, spewing out thousands of drops of water and thousands of invisible sword energy.
The entire air above the deck suddenly expanded violently, causing the sight to be distorted. The entire front half of the ship seemed to be deformed and distorted by this airflow.
That is not really an anomaly caused by changes in air volume.
But because in a short period of time, the amount of sword energy spewed out was so large that it filled the entire space on the deck without leaving any gaps.
At the same time, these sword energies were moving at high speed, cutting outwards, creating an effect as if the entire environment was expanding outwards simultaneously.
Compared with Fa Wuchang's gravitational waves, Sato's sword technique, even though it is said to be "invisible" and "innocuous", is still inferior in terms of concealment, and its range of action is less than one kilometer. external extent.
However, Fa Wuchang's method requires the joint operation of seven dead men. In order to interfere with the gravitational waves, he lost the ability to react with the normal energy of heaven and earth. When he encounters an attack from the enemy's pure energy body, , the defense seems somewhat insufficient.
Sato's eight virtues and ultimate sword skills are more flexible and versatile at this point.
At this moment, the energy of heaven and earth, which was at least seven or eight times his own skill, was transformed by those blade fragments, and all was squandered in the blink of an eye.
Even Su Hanshan, who was swooping down, crashed into such a large mass of sword energy, and his speed was affected and suddenly slowed down.
"Come!!!"
Sato seized the moment and retreated into the ship's control room, spreading his arms wide and letting out a roar.
The six Fuso people in the control room were still instilling their skills and entered the power furnace. For a moment, they did not realize what was happening outside.
But they were able to perform missions with Sato because they were all carefully selected elite officers, impeccable in terms of loyalty and quality.
Even if their brains didn't react, their bodies had already reacted naturally when they heard Sato's order.
The clothes of the six people exploded at the same time. After the loose robes flew away, the hidden things were revealed, which were black starfish plastered all over their upper bodies.
All starfish seem to have been specially treated and are as shriveled as cowhide, with stiff mouthparts and no vitality at all.
But when the six people's skills were rushed and poured into the bodies of these starfish along the acupuncture points closest to the body surface, the shriveled starfish suddenly swelled up and became full, as if inflated. Full of luster.
At the same time as they became full, the starfish on these six people had already escaped from their bodies like six black water streams, and all converged on Sato Saitaro.
The adsorption force of the starfish broke through some of the clothes under his ribs, back, and shoulder blades, and directly stuck to the surface of his skin, absorbing his blood and skill.
Boom! ! !
Su Hanshan blasted through all the obstacles of sword energy on the deck, shattered the blade fragments into powder, and rushed into the control room. The sight that greeted him made his eyelids twitch slightly.
The Black Starfish, which inherited the bloodline of prehistoric rulers, connected to Sato Saitaro's body, hugged each other, and spliced together to shape.
Just like six black arms, stretched out from the body of this Fuso swordsman.
The end of the black arm actually formed the shape of a palm and five fingers. The part used as the mouthparts was right in the palm, gathering strong light.
The blade of vitality that looks like a sword, seems to be blazing white, and seems to be transparent, extends from the palms of the six arms.
Sato Saitaro's original palms were just on his chest, folded together devoutly.
There is no need for his limbs to move any more. The new six arms seem to take on the role of wings.
The moment the six arms relaxed, Sato Saitaro's body seemed to have knocked out a hollow passage like a statue of gods and ghosts in the air, and appeared in front of Su Hanshan.
Six arms and six blades cut out extremely messy lines in the entire area in front of him.
If Su Hanshan is a painting, then at this second, the lines cut by the six blades are crisscrossed and dense, enough to smear the painting until the original appearance is completely invisible. .
Not only has the frequency of attacks doubled, but the intensity of each of these six arms' attacks will be stronger than when Saitaro Sato held the knife with his own arms.
These starfish on his body are called enhanced experimental bodies, and they are more than a thousand times more precious than the detection experimental bodies that caused the tragedy on Chongming Island.
Every enhanced experimental subject must be soaked in drugs for mutagenesis before laying eggs. During the growth period, someone needs to be on duty 24 hours a day to instill the operating skills so that these The meridians that are naturally present in Haixing's body have become more suitable for the skills cultivated by humans. After they are completely mature, defective products have to be selected, with the elimination rate as high as 99.9%.
As the official finished product of the enhanced experimental body, the complex and changeable meridians in the body are more than ten times more capable than the meridians of a human warrior.
Many unique tricks that warriors cannot use themselves can be realized on this starfish arm.
In this state, Sato Saitaro was even confident that he could temporarily fight against a strong man in the Huandan realm.
Although that young man’s origins are unknown and his martial arts skills are shocking, he doesn’t even have a weapon on him. He might be the most rigid old-school warrior.
Such people don't even know how to apply the principles of chain saws and guns in martial arts, let alone the most cutting-edge technology and the most exquisite equipment such as the Black Starfish Experimental Body.
So when faced with Sato Saitaro's six-armed magic sword, he had no choice but to retreat.
This retreat was all expected by Saitaro Sato.
The reversal of form, the switching of advance and retreat, will allow Sato Saitaro's six-armed sword to be used more smoothly and more happily.
After adapting to the initial attack rhythm, the vitality blade will become invisible and attack in a more difficult to defend posture.
However, during this step of retreating, Su Hanshan actually just adjusted his slightly unbalanced and forward-leaning posture due to the dive, into a posture with his arms slightly apart and his feet standing firmly.
Just as his upper body changed from leaning forward to standing upright, in a flash, more than 80,000 golden-red Qi needles shot out from his whole body.
People with poor eyesight can't see the traces of the fine needles, they can only feel the strong red-gold light emanating from the person's body.
Sato Saitaro's heart trembled, and the six-armed magic sword was swung at full speed, making a series of jingling sounds.
In fact, the speed of these six black starfish arms far exceeds the speed of sound. Once they are swung with all their strength, outsiders can only hear the roaring sound of air explosions, and it is impossible to hear such tinkling sounds.
But the Qi needle erupting from Su Hanshan and the blade condensed from the black starfish are not normal substances.
When the two weapons collided, the sharp sound they made was penetrating beyond imagination.
Ding ding ding ding! ! !
Although the roaring sound of gas exists, it is completely reduced to a foil.
On the afterimage barrier where the six-armed magic swords were waving in an interlaced manner, tens of thousands of gold stars flashed, flickering on and off.
Those are all the strange phenomena displayed by the red gold Qi needles that are constantly impacting the sword shadow.
Sato Saitaro had just adapted to the opponent's intensive and endless offensive when he felt six soft pops coming from behind him.
He was shocked and immediately understood what happened.
After those golden needles collided with his magic sword, although some were chopped into pieces, most of them were just bounced away.
What’s even more strange is that such a powerful golden needle, with such terrifying penetrating power, turns into something that is only elastic but not very lethal when it hits the wall of the control room.
While the walls of the control room were being beaten into holes, a large number of golden needles were refracted away.
All six subordinates behind Sato have been turned into powder.
The Qi needles erupting from Su Hanshan's body accumulated more and more, but they were always confined inside the control room, refracting repeatedly.
His eyes shone brightly, like golden glass, and his figure finally moved again, waving his palms to attack.
When Sato Saitaro used the six new arms, even his own sight could not penetrate the barrier formed by the six-armed magic sword. He could only rely on the spiritual sense of a warrior to sense the surrounding situation.
If he looked at it with the naked eye, Sato would only be able to see pure black.
In this pure black, suddenly there is a touch of gold.
That was Sato Saitaro. When the first black starfish arm on the left was swinging a knife, he was suddenly hit on the wrist by Su Hanshan's palm, and there was a pause.
Although the other arm's blade immediately came to the rescue, causing Su Hanshan to shrink his hand.
But from this moment on, in the black wall in front of Sato Saitaro, a golden hand shadow flashed from time to time.
Su Hanshan's palms kept hitting Sato Saitaro's six new arms, creating more and more pauses.
Mottled and flickering golden palm shadows appeared on the black wall, mixed with many red-gold light spots.
"How could this happen? He only has two hands, how could he suddenly fight with my six-armed magic sword with nothing?"
Sato Saitaro's heart was horrified, with thousands of thoughts and crazy ups and downs. , realized why.
It's not because of the speed of the opponent's hands, it's really to the extent that even the elixir return shouldn't be possible.
It's because his six new arms have slowed down.
At the beginning, when the six black arms were the fastest, Su Hanshan was not sure. He used his hands to avoid the blade and accurately hit the opponent's arm.
However, as more and more golden needles are reflected around, the total reaction force on the six arms becomes larger and larger.
No matter how carefully the six-armed knife is moved, the trajectory is still perfect, but the reduction in speed is inevitable.
Sato Saitaro, who has six new arms, even if he is a real ghost and god, encountering this kind of influence that gathers sand to form a tower and drops of water to form a sea, it is like being caught in a dragnet.
And Su Hanshan's Pure Yang Three Divine Palms are the punishment for completely killing ghosts and gods! !
When Sato Saitaro realized this, the black wall in front of him had been torn apart by Su Hanshan's palm technique, with gaps visible to the naked eye.
Several golden needles shot into his face at random, grazing his cheek and piercing his shoulder.
“Don’t even think about it!”
The hands that had been shrunk on Sato Saitaro’s chest in order not to affect the cooperation of the six black star arms, at this time did not care much, and with the roar, struggled Attack.
As long as he uses these palms to buy time for the six black hands to regain full speed, he will not hesitate to chop these two hands into pieces. Then he can seize the opportunity, break the boat and escape from the bottom of the sea.
However, a big hole had been broken in the black wall, and Su Hanshan's hands rushed in from outside the cave before Sato Saitaro's hands could punch out.
The four palms faced each other, and there was a thunderbolt! !
Sato Saitaro's arms were broken, and when his face was congested with severe pain, a large number of gold needles were stuck all over his face.
Su Hanshan's palms turned into claws and pulled back, tearing into pieces one after another the six black starfish arms that had lost their power supply.
At this time, all the golden needles wandering in the control room no longer need to bother to restrict.
The next time they hit the wall, the entire control room turned into powder and exploded.
The parts of the ship above the deck were all destroyed, and thousands of golden rays of light burst out.
Su Hanshan stood there, grabbing Sato Saitaro's neck with one hand and restraining him from flying out.
"You...you did it on purpose..."
Sato Saitaro moved his mouth and managed to make a sound.
If from the very beginning, this young man had unleashed so many red gold divine needles and unleashed a combat power that was truly like returning pills, Sato would have broken the boat and fled into the sea immediately.
The situation in the deep sea is extremely complex, coupled with the eight methods of collecting merit and virtue.
Sato is fully capable of escaping from the elixir master in this kind of terrain.
But from the moment the two sides met, the strength displayed by this person was just right.
By the time Sato noticed it, he could no longer escape.
“Of course I did it on purpose.”
Su Hanshan looked at the black starfish that had just been torn apart, and put more force on his hands.
"Just like how you raise these starfish, they are also very useful!!"
