Chapter 86 The Swordsman
Transforms the power of radiation and melts his body, but his veins are increasingly invaded, and the mottled spots are visible..."
"Even if you have advanced to the realm of Grand Master, this body is probably close to the age of rotten wood, right?"
"How can we control each other?"
"The reason is that the exercises I learn are the essence of nature. The three elements of wind, cloud, and frost are intertwined and complement each other!"
"In the blink of an eye, the power of your radiation can be eliminated. Have you realized it?"
"Then, this moment is your end——!"
Emperor Qing was furious and roared to the sky: "It's absolutely impossible——!"
"How can I say defeat——!"
The true energy in his body boiled, the blue light gathered into a monstrous storm, and the magnetic field was invisible but powerful, distorting the surrounding space.
The sky suddenly changed, with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, like a doomsday scene.
"Did your Majesty get help from God? The momentum is so huge——"
"Retreat quickly, the thunder seems to be about to fall..."
"It's really the emperor's order, even the sky is helping him..."
Everyone was amazed at Emperor Qing's power.
Fan Xian looked solemnly and turned to Haitang Duoduo: "Have you ever noticed? Li Chengze's martial arts seems to be suppressing His Majesty..."
Haitang Duoduo nodded slightly and said: "Although the theory of radiation is unclear, I can still understand it based on the principle of softening and softening hardness. In martial arts in the world, there is no absolute invincibility. It is normal for each other to restrain and strengthen each other."
"But in my opinion, what Li Chengze did was not just restraint, but more like devouring——!"
Fan Xian was shocked when he heard this: "Swallow?!"
Indeed. In past confrontations, my domineering Qi came into contact with the opponent's inner strength. Not only was it unable to suppress it,
Instead, it seems to have been quietly absorbed by it and turned into one's own use... Moreover, the extreme coldness contained in it is like a maggot attached to the bone,
Once it confronts the domineering Qi, it will be tightly entangled and gradually swallowed until the opponent's Qi is completely dissipated——
Thinking of this, Fan Xian immediately shouted loudly and warned Emperor Qing: "Your Majesty, beware of Li Chengze's true energy, it can swallow up the overbearing true energy!"
"Swallow? Humph!" Emperor Qing showed a fierce look on his face, a trace of disdain curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hands suddenly.
In an instant, the sky seemed to respond to his will. Dozens of dazzling lightnings pierced the sky and crashed down, vowing to turn all obstacles into dust. Thousands of miles away, the sword shines brightly.
Si Gu Jian's battle frightened him even more!
Who is this person?
To be able to control six flying swords and shuttle freely is beyond the reach of ordinary swordsman masters. He is a swordsman with six skills, which is shocking to the world!
Looking at those six swords, they are all extraordinary. If it weren’t for the sword in his hand that has been nourished by true air for many years,
plus the full infusion of true energy every time the sword is drawn, I am afraid that he would not be able to survive such a fierce confrontation. Downstairs, it was already vulnerable and in pieces.
"Clang!"
After once again successfully resisting the opponent's fierce sword power, Si Gu Jian said in a deep voice:
"Your sword skills are indeed extraordinary, but if you rely solely on these, your end will be the next moment!"
Jian Jiuhuang Youran recalled the flying sword and said with a smile: "That's right, that guy Li Chengze told me the same thing."
"He also said that you take the wrong approach with your sword and use your killing intent to forge the way of the sword. Once the sword intent comes out, it is enough to capture people's hearts."
"But... I also have a secret skill. Hehe, I wonder if you can take it?"
When Si Gu Jian heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Oh? It turns out that the person who truly understood the essence of Si Gu's sword technique was the second prince of Qing Kingdom.
It's a pity that if he hadn't suffered any accident, I would definitely accept him as the successor of my mantle. He gently stroked the sword in his hand and continued: "Everyone in the world knows that the swordsmanship is fierce and unparalleled, leaving no room for error." However……"
"They all misunderstood. Entering the Tao through killing is the surface of my swordsmanship, but the deeper meaning contained in it is far more than that."
"Let go of emotions, give up hesitation, and even cut off the hope of life. This is the root of the power of Sigu Sword Technique.
When the sword is unsheathed, the opponent has nowhere to hide and nothing to rely on. Therefore, looking around at swordsmanship is really a dance of death. "
After finishing speaking, Si Jian's eyes turned to Jian Jiuhuang, this old man who looked unkempt but was actually very secretive.
There was a surge of respect in his heart. He had not met an opponent who could make him go all out in many years. It was like a famous chef meeting a close friend. There was an indescribable tacit understanding and appreciation between them.
For this rare encounter, Sigu Jian unreservedly shared his kendo philosophy, just like an artist showing the soul of his work to the world.
He knew that only in this way could his opponent truly appreciate the essence of swordsmanship.
Jian Jiuhuang felt this sincerity, a humble smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "I am a sword maker, not a master of swordsmanship.
Therefore, my swords have more stories and emotions incorporated into them. By chance, I entered the art of swordsmanship and advanced to the level of Grand Master.
Originally, I was accompanied by seven swords, but one of them stayed in Emperor Wu City forever and became a scar in my heart. "
"Since then, I have kept the remaining swords hidden and unwilling to take them out easily again.
Because every time I swing my sword, it reminds me of the powerlessness and despair I felt in Emperor Wu's City.
However, in the past three years, traveling around with my young master, I gradually realized that no matter what your status is,
Everyone is struggling to survive, and fear and anxiety have become the driving force for us to move forward. "
Speaking of this, Jian Jiuhuang's eyes became firm and deep, as if the haze of the past had turned into a sharper edge in his sword.
"Thus, I realized a sword technique. This sword may be the glimmer of hope I can get from the desperate situation in Emperor Wu City."
Si Gu Jian's heart was filled with ups and downs, and he looked at Jian Jiuhuang in disbelief. How dare this person challenge Wang Xianzhi of Emperor Wu City and escape without a trace?
Such a feat, the swordsmanship is unfathomable, far beyond the tip of the iceberg just revealed.
Although he has not experienced Emperor Wu's city in person, he is familiar with the legends there.
Wang Xianzhi is a legend who stands at the pinnacle of swordsmanship and has never been defeated. Faced with such an opponent, if it was not bound by his duty, he would also be eager to see his grace and even fight.
Now, the old man in front of him not only stepped into that forbidden land, but also miraculously survived. How could this not make him feel shocked and curious?
Jian Jiuhuang seemed to have seen through Si Gu Jian's thoughts, with a hint of self-mockery in his wry smile: "The reason why I came back alive is not because my sword skills are invincible, but because I cherish my life. At the critical moment, I chose escape."
After saying that, he changed the topic and suggested: "In this case, we might as well decide the outcome with one sword and see whose sword is faster and more ruthless.
I think the battle on Li Chengze's side is coming to an end. "
Si Gu Jian nodded in agreement and asked at the same time: "Have you asked me your name yet?"
"Jian Jiuhuang, just call me Lao Huang." Jian Jiuhuang replied calmly.
Immediately, the two top swordsmen concentrated their sword intent at the same time. In an instant, two completely different sword realms collided in the air, forming a sharp contrast.
Within the realm of Sigu Sword, all life is gone, as if the God of Death is coming in person, constantly devouring the surrounding life energy, making his sword's will become more and more powerful;
What Jian Jiuhuang shows is another realm. Although it does not directly deprive life, it reveals an indescribable tenacity and unyieldingness, as if even the God of Death must give in to it.
