Text: Chapter 941. Two different life courses
What is the concept of this age that the ghost is talking about?
That's twenty times the size of the Terrans!
That is, a person can be born again nineteen times! And every time you live a long life!
If this number were placed on any one of the Terrans, it would probably make people crazy.
The Heavenly Dao has different restrictions on different races, and the strictest restriction that the human race has always received that is different from other races is the maximum limit, that is, age.
Age is a direct determination of the length of years a person can go through from birth to death.
If, after a person is born, he knows that he can live for a thousand years, imagine whether he will have a higher achievement than a person who can only live to be a hundred years old?
Ordinary people may say, of course, with this lot of time, you can spend more time studying and working hard, and you will naturally be able to go further in any field.
However, have you ever thought that if you have a thousand years of life, your IQ and understanding may become 10 percent of what you are now, that is, with the same level of effort, what you can accomplish and reach in this thousand years at the age of 1,000 is actually not much different from what you can accomplish and reach in this hundred years when you are 100 years old?
The only difference is that it takes you longer to reach your destination, which is the end of your life.
To use a more intuitive analogy, it's like a multiplication arithmetic problem, where a hundred times ten and ten times a hundred have exactly the same result.
The end of a person's life is a thousand results, and whether it takes a hundred years or ten years to complete, the scenery at the end is probably no different.
Of course, this is just a quantitative statement, just an analogy, and does not explain everything, the real situation, or depends on reality.
Because no one really lives past a thousand years, this assumption can only be a hypothesis forever, and it cannot become a reality.
Although it is a hypothesis, people have their own independent thinking, and everyone thinks about things in different ways, some people may not think about this problem, but some people do.
If we didn't know that there were other races of this age in this world, human beings might not have studied this comparison specifically, but now that they know, people with a little curiosity can't help but compare.
A person will think, do I like to live a little longer, have a worse understanding, and walk slowly to the end of my life, or do I like to live for less than that long, take a thinking rocket quickly, and reach the destination I want to reach faster?
There will never be an answer to this question.
Just as these two hypotheses cannot appear in the same life form at the same time, allowing him to enjoy two different life courses one after another.
As long as it does not appear in the same life form at the same time, then the problem will always be a matter of opinion between the wise and the wise, and it is impossible to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.
Of course, there is no difference between good and bad.
If you knew now that you would live to be 2,000 years old, what would you do now? Do you feel completely at a loss, a feeling that you don't know what to do?
That's right, it's an ordinary person, I'm afraid it will be like this.
Without waiting for Duan Xuan to finish speaking, the ghost spirit directly erupted and slashed at Duan Xuan with a knife.
Shoot fast and accurately!
The pale cyan light flickered in the dark night, and the ghost's iron ring broadsword was wrapped in a cloud of wind, cutting through the night sky at an extremely fast speed, slashing straight towards Duan Xuan.
This knife, although Duan Xuan had dodged with all her might, but with her speed that had slowed down a lot at the moment, she still couldn't completely dodge it, and was left with a wound on her chest by the iron ring big knife, which pierced the entire chest, and the gushing blood stained the clothes on Duan Xuan's chest into blood red in a moment.
The ghost smiled fiercely, without the slightest pause in his movements, and when Duan Xuan had not yet distanced himself from him, he immediately stepped forward to close the distance between him and Duan Xuan, and the pale cyan light of his right foot flashed, and he kicked Duan Xuan in the chest at lightning speed.
"Bump!"
Duan Xuan's body was kicked out by the ghost like a cannonball, and his body was still in mid-air, and a mouthful of blood couldn't help but spray out of Duan Xuan's mouth, and his body flew a distance of more than twenty meters before he fell to the ground in embarrassment, and then, another mouthful of blood couldn't help but spurt out of Duan Xuan's mouth, and his face had become pale.
With a flash of blue light, the ghost had already crossed a distance of more than twenty meters and appeared in front of Duan Xuan, looked at him with a sneer, and said: "I'll give you one last chance, beg me for mercy, I will spare your life today, otherwise, die!" ”
There was a scorching light in the ghost's eyes, he had already won the battle, so he was now qualified to speak condescendingly to Duan Xuan.
And Duan Xuan's current situation, it seems that she has no power to backhand, and she seems to have no other choice than begging for mercy.
"Ask me for mercy!" The ghost threatened again.
The thought of his opponent begging for mercy on his knees at his feet made the ghost feel his blood boiling all over his body, and his heart was excited, and even the look on his face became a little excited.
Duan Xuan wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, slowly stood up from the ground, looked at the ghost with a little excitement on his face with cold eyes, and couldn't help but show a sneer, "I'm afraid you don't have this ability." ”
Although he had already suffered a lot of internal injuries at this moment, Duan Xuan did not show the slightest fear of the ghost whose strength was stronger than his own. As she spoke, Duan Xuan's whole body was also making slight adjustments, at this time, her whole body was completely relaxed, as if she was not the slightest defense, and her right hand, which was originally holding the sword hard, also became a little lax, and her current state looked defenseless, not at all like she was fighting.
Duan Xuan's words suddenly made the expression on the ghost's face sink, and he snorted coldly: "With your current strength, you are not qualified to say such a big thing, since you are unwilling to beg for mercy, then I have to make you suffer." ”
As soon as the words fell, the ghost swung the iron ring broadsword in his hand and slashed at Duan Xuan's right shoulder.
Facing the ghost sword, Duan Xuan did not make the slightest dodge action, but raised his sword and took the initiative to meet it, although the speed of this sword was equally fast, but it gave people a sense of lightness and powerlessness, which was completely inconsistent with the fierce and murderous sword move before.
When the long sword and the iron ring broadsword collided together, there was no sound, the two touched each other completely silently, and then, the longsword that seemed to have no strength was like a maggot attached to the bone, tightly pasted on the iron ring broadsword, and in a very ingenious way, the iron ring broadsword deviated from the original attack route, and drew a few circles left and right in mid-air, directly unloading the terrifying force on the iron ring broadsword, and then leading to the side, so that the iron ring broadsword slashed into the ground of the ring next to it.
The ghost's face changed slightly, and his eyes looked at Duan Xuan with a little surprise, because just now, he couldn't control his iron ring broadsword, such a strange thing might not be a big deal if it happened to an opponent who was stronger than him, but at this time, the other party was an opponent who was much weaker than him, which made the ghost a little unacceptable.
"What kind of means are you?" The ghost asked in a surprised tone.
"You don't have to worry about that." Duan Xuan opened her mouth and said, she was not proficient in the swordsmanship just now, but she had a lot of contact with Qin Hai in the competition, which made her gradually understand the principle of this swordsmanship to overcome the rigidity with softness, and at this moment, when the strength was not as good as that of the ghost, and she had been forced to the point of being almost exhausted, Duan Xuan had no choice but to learn the fur and show her unproficient swordsmanship to resist
This swordsmanship pays attention to overcoming rigidity with softness, braking with static, defeating strong with weakness, and also contains the power of four or two thousand catties, this kind of magic technique can indeed play a very big role in the predicament that Duan Xuan is encountering now.
However, the only drawback in this is that Duan Xuan only knows a little about this swordsmanship, and she is not good at using swords, but despite this, it is enough for Duan Xuan to support himself in the hands of the ghost for a while.
Hearing this, the ghost frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head slightly, and muttered in a low voice, "Hmph, carving insect skills." ”
Immediately, the ghost's gaze fell on Duan Xuan again, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes, and he sneered; "I didn't expect you to be weak, but you have a lot of combat skills, it seems that it would be a pity to kill you with one sword."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost moved again, and the iron ring dagger in his hand attacked Duan Xuan with a powerful energy, and now, he had already made up his mind to pay attention, and he would capture Duan Xuan if he said anything today.
The ghost didn't pay much attention to the sword technique that could lead him away from his attack, and what really made him excited was the secret of Duan Xuan's speed.
Next, Duan Xuan barely entangled himself with the ghost with his swordsmanship, which was not very proficient.
With the subtlety of this swordsmanship that he stole away, every attack of the ghost can be defused by Duan Annihilation, and this method of traction makes the ghost unable to control his iron ring broadsword many times.
In front of Duan Xuan's unskilled swordsmanship, the powerful strength of the ghost seems to no longer exist, but Duan Xuan is not as easy as it seems, although the swordsmanship can allow her to overcome the rigid with softness, and the strength of four or two thousand catties, but with her current strength, she must go all out to barely meet the requirements of these four taels to resolve the terrifying power on the ghost iron ring broadsword.
Therefore, every time he resisted the attack of the ghost, Duan Annihilation seemed easy, but it was very difficult.
However, using this sword technique, Duan Xuan can only use defensive means to temporarily protect himself, and he is not able to fight back at all, he can only blindly resist, without the slightest chance of winning, if it is not for the point of being forced by the ghost to almost exhaust her skills, Duan Xuan will definitely not use the swordsmanship that she is not good at.
After fighting Duan Xuan for a few rounds, a trace of anger gradually appeared on the ghost's face, and each of his attacks was not only unloaded in a wonderful way by a person who was much weaker than himself, but also made him unable to control his weapon, which was definitely a shame for the ghost.
"Bastard, I don't believe I can't help you today." The ghost was annoyed and angry, and finally couldn't help but scold, and with the scolding, the shot became more ferocious.
As the strength of the ghost's attack increased, it became more and more difficult for Duan Xuan to resist, his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, his face had become extremely pale, and the qi in his body was about to be exhausted.
The strength of the ghost is already much stronger than Duan Xuan, Duan Xuan can be entangled with him for so long, it is already a lot of effort and strength, it is definitely not a long-term solution, if it continues like this, just consumption, Duan Xuan will also be consumed to death!
After all, her capital is much less than that of her opponent!
She simply can't afford it!
Qi energy is directly linked to cultivation and strength, and the cultivation of the ghost is much stronger than Duan Xuan, fundamentally speaking, that is, the amount of qi energy stored in the body is many times more than that of Duan Xuan.
If it was a simple fight, it would be enough, but now the two of them are caught in a war of attrition, every confrontation is accompanied by the consumption of energy, and the recovery of this energy also takes a while, the two have been fighting like this, the consumption rate is greater than the recovery speed, you can imagine what a terrible fact it is for Duan Xuan.
Once her energy is exhausted, what will she do to fight her opponents?
At that point, will she have any other options than to be retired?
Thinking of this, Duan Xuan bit his lip and thought of a way to break the deadlock in front of him.
The frantic attack of the ghost caused a lot of pressure on Duan Xuan, after all, Duan Xuan had to go all out to unload the ghost's attack with that unskilled swordsmanship, it can be said that every time Duan Xuan unloaded the terrifying power on the ghost ring broadsword, it would cause a lot of consumption to her energy.
Duan Xuan's fierce battle with the ghost before, which consumed most of the not strong energy in her body, and she was seriously injured at the moment, so after holding on for a while, Duan Xuan gradually felt a little powerless to follow-up, and it was becoming more and more difficult to resist the ghost's attack.
Duan Xuan was able to deal with a ghost who was much stronger than herself for so long, not only because of her swordsmanship, but also because of the role played by her battle-hardened combat experience that could not be ignored.
If it were a different person with the same strength as Duan Xuan, it would be difficult to say whether he would be able to save his life in ten rounds under the fierce attack of the ghost like a raging storm.
After all, the difference between cultivation is too great, and cultivation is an important factor that determines success or failure.
As the pale cyan light pierced the sky again, when the long sword in Duan Xuan's hand was lightly attached to the rapidly slashing iron ring broadsword, he finally had no strength left to unload the terrifying power on the iron ring broadsword.
The long sword was directly reversed by the iron ring broadsword, and finally under the pressure of the iron ring broadsword, the long sword returned the same way without Duan Xuan's control, and finally the sword body bombarded Duan Xuan's chest fiercely.
Duan Xuan's body was directly knocked upside down, and he flew a distance of more than ten meters before falling to the ground in embarrassment, and a mouthful of hot blood surged up from his throat uncontrollably, and finally sprayed out directly from his mouth, marking the sky into a blood mist.
"Now I'll see what else you can do to escape from my palm." The ghost sneered, and then did not give Duan Xuan the slightest time to breathe, and when his body shook, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye and came to Duan Xuan's body, stretching out a pair of big hands and grabbing Duan Xuan's neck.
His eyes coldly looked at the phantom's rapidly approaching palm, and his sharp gaze flashed away from Duan Xuan's eyes, but in his heart he secretly sighed, "Alas, it seems that there is only one last move." ”
The last move is Duan Xuan's life-saving stunt, and it is also the only life-saving means when she is alone - fighting for her life.
Fighting for one's life is a self-preservation skill that Duan Xuan has learned in constant battles.
However, just as Duan Xuan was about to use his final trick to fight for his life to deal with the predicament in front of him, suddenly, a long sword identical to Duan Xuan's hand swept across the air and slashed straight towards the ghost's arm that was grabbing Duan Xuan.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the long sword that looked at his arm, and the ghost's eyes showed a look of disdain, and with a light snort, the arm that was grabbing Duan Xuan suddenly stopped, and then the pale cyan light on the palm of his hand skyrocketed, directly enveloping the ghost's palm completely, and then, the ghost's palm wrapped in light cyan energy swung directly towards the slashed long sword, and finally grasped the long sword in his hand steadily.
Duan Xuan was ready to fight for his life with the ghost, but the ghost still looked a little ignorant as if he hadn't reacted yet.
Duan Xuan didn't give him much time to react.
She immediately launched her own fierce attack.
The ghost was in a hurry, so he could only stand on tiptoe and slash over, Duan Xuan saw the right time, and saw that the big ring knife had already been used, and it was impossible to be slashed again in time to confront him. So, she worked hard.
Wave after wave of air, drowning the ghost in it.
The long sword moves, cutting in the waves of air.
The heat of the split air permeated the entire heaven and earth.
The ghost's body was roasted by this heat, and at the same time, it had to constantly defend against attacks from Duan Annihilation, and finally, without paying attention, was cut on the arm by Duan Annihilation's long sword!
After another injury, his state turned down, followed by sword wounds to his other arm, legs, and all parts of his body.
Finally, he fell to the ground and could not get up again.
The ghost should have no strength to stand up and fight again this time.
He said before that he was immortal, and Duan Xuan would definitely not believe it, so Duan Xuan never gave up to fight him.
Now, she's finally done it.
In fact, although Duan Xuan had thought about using psychological tactics to disturb the opponent's state of mind, why didn't the opponent think about doing so?
He said that he was immortal, wasn't he disturbing Duan Xuan's state of mind?
Duan Xuan didn't believe it, so she held on until the victory, but if she did, the result would definitely be a different story.
Just imagine, now that you know that your opponent is an unbeatable guy, do you still have the confidence to continue fighting? Absolutely not!
This is like a protracted battle, and at the same time, it is also a psychological war, Duan Xuan persevered, she resisted the psychological pressure, and she had enough confidence to accept any result, so she successfully survived until the final victory came!
