Chapter 14: The Sword of Blood
The red color is the mist produced by the collapse of the blood. The pure white girl was dyed red, and the limits of physics were easily broken by her.
Her movements were completed before the sound could be heard, the tip of the knife piercing the air, and even the air was in the way of this terrifying speed. Before cutting Zhou Yan, the blade had already begun to cut through the air. A blade that heats up by rubbing against air
Soon it turned red, leaving a trail in the air like a shooting star.
In the short moment when the white sound hit, it was even much faster than the blink of an eye. Zhou Yan stabbed out with a sword, and the process of stabbing out the long sword was so fast that there was no afterimage left. It's not a response, it's a prediction. Based on the opponent's initial movements, judge the next opponent's movements. This ability originated from "Dugu Nine Swords", otherwise Zhou Yan would not have had time to react under Bai Yin's terrifying explosion speed.
Zhou Yan did not move forward, but flew backwards while stabbing his sword. However, the speed of Bai Yin is much faster than Zhou Yan, and the flying Zhou Yan is no different from Bai Yin compared to being stationary.
The long sword stabbed out for less than half a minute, and it had already touched the blade that had turned red from friction with the air. There was a huge force from the place where the weapons collided, and Zhou Yan's arm continued to bend.
However, while his arm was bent by the tremendous force brought by the extreme speed, Zhou Yan's wrist flexibly used the long sword to drive the short knife to start circling in a circle.
With each turn, the power on the short sword was unloaded by him, and in this extremely short time, the long sword and the short knife turned in countless circles. The circle is as good as it gets, and it is endless.
When Zhou Yan's arm was pressed to the limit, Bai Yin's huge kinetic energy brought by his extreme speed was also completely unloaded by him. This style is nameless and derived from the Taiji sword.
When Bai Yin's kinetic energy was unloaded, a balance was also reached between her and Zhou Yan, and it became a relatively static state, and Bai Yin's face that stopped was not only surprised but also surprised.
"What's that?"
However, Zhou Yan ignored Bai Yin's surprise, the long sword was attached to the blade, making a grinding sound, and sparks stabbed at Bai Yin.
Bai Yin, who had not yet lifted the state of blood corruption, twisted her body in the air, and Zhou Yan's pitch-black sword blade swept past her bangs, and a few strands of silver hair floated in the air.
Bai Yin, who twisted his body to dodge Zhou Yan's sword, attacked Zhou Yan's neck with a leg sweep at the same time, and Zhou Yan, who couldn't return the sword, had to raise his hand to block Bai Yin's whip leg.
However, when he was swept away, there was a slight cracking sound from Zhou Yan's arm. Zhou Yan's long sword, which snorted, pressed down, but Bai Yin, who was in a state of blood corruption, couldn't handle it with common sense.
Bai Yin's hand suddenly grabbed in the air, and the huge friction formed by the air at the extreme speed was enough to borrow force like a solid. When Zhou Yan's long sword was pressed down, Bai Yin grabbed the air like this and forcibly climbed to a high place, a somersault and a leg split.
Zhou Yan was able to avoid this leg sideways, but the swept gale left a red mark on his face, and at the same time, there was a burning pain.
Originally, I thought that I would continue to deal with Bai Yin's unreasonable attack and completely break through the laws of physics that Zhou Yan was familiar with. But Bai Yin suddenly retreated, instantly widening the distance between him and Zhou Yan and relieving the state of blood corruption.
The skirt on her body was not stained red by the blood that leached and cracked, because the blood had long since dissipated into the air under the high-speed operation.
At this time, Bai Yin gasped for breath, and at a glance, it seemed that he was already a little unsteady even standing up.
Although so many words were used to describe it before, the whole process from Bai Yin's initiation of blood damage to her retreat from the new one only added up to three seconds. However, in this short period of time, Bai Yin and Zhou Yan both put a lot of effort into this attack and defense.
And Zhou Yan was even swept into the arm by Bai Yin's leg, and at this moment, his left arm had completely lost his strength, and there was the pain of broken bones.
"You hid your strength yesterday?" Bai Yin asked out loud, she was deliberately delaying her time to calm her breathing. At the same time, he is also trying his best to calm the sequelae caused by his excessive use of blood damage.
Of course, Zhou Yan saw Bai Yin's intentions at once, but at this moment he was also faced with a dilemma: whether to attack or not to attack?
If you choose to attack at this time, you can certainly suppress Bai Yin, who is tired due to excessive consumption. However, if you can't quickly solve the problem and let the other party catch your breath, then it will become a crisis on your side.
Zhou Yan has already made a choice. Without giving Bai Yin time to breathe, Zhou Yan attacked Bai Yin with his sword.
The true qi in the body was mobilized in an instant, and it flowed throughout the whole body with every breath and every step. Zhou Yan's speed, which was strengthened by True Qi, suddenly went up to a new level, and the sword blade pointed to it had a great momentum.
Bai Yin, who was in a weak state, didn't dare to hide his edge, and he didn't have the strength to confront Zhou Yan. When Zhou Yan made a move, Bai Yin had already taken the lead in retreating.
However, the sequelae caused by blood damage made her movements a little sluggish, and she could only exert her usual speed and agility. And Zhou Yan didn't care about urging the true qi and forcibly improving the state at this time, in order to win Bai Yin in one fell swoop.
In a few flashes, Zhou Yan caught up with Bai Yin, and Wang Yujian's slender and narrow black blade let out a whistling sound, piercing Bai Yin's throat. Bai Yin, who was retreating, waved the short knife in his hand and opened the sword blade outward, but it also made his door wide open.
Zhou Yan, who seized the opportunity, flicked his wrist dexterously, and the black long sword slashed through a delicate arc in the air, and circled back from under Bai Yin's short knife.
Jian Feng pointed again, because of the misjudgment at the beginning and lost the first hand to guide Bai Yin, who was suppressed at the moment, saw the life and death crisis appear, and let out a short voice: "Meow! ”
The cold touch of the sword blade had already touched Bai Yin's flesh and blood, and if he didn't move again, he would stab into Bai Yin's chest the next moment. At this moment, Zhou Yan's heart was also extremely nervous, but his hand did not tremble at all, even if he understood that it was very likely that he would pierce Bai Yin's chest and kill her on the spot in the next moment.
Although Zhou Yan still has some resistance to killing people in his heart, his hands are not like when he fights against goblins, and he will unconsciously reduce his strength because of fear. This has to be said to be a huge improvement.
Of course, Zhou Yan didn't hide his strength, in fact, when he fought against Bai Yin yesterday, Zhou Yan had already taken out all the strength he could exert at that time. It's just that at that time, because he was hit by Bai Yin in a bloody state again and again, Zhou Yan suffered extremely serious internal injuries, and then encountered an ambush by a mysterious man's steel needle, of course Zhou Yan didn't have the opportunity to fight Bai Yin in his peak state. This is also the reason why Bai Yin misjudged Zhou Yan's strength.
However, these are not all the reasons why Bai Yin was suppressed, nor are they all the reasons why Zhou Yan was able to exert a strength that far exceeded Bai Yin's expectations.
The real reason still comes from Zhou Yan's first killing before.
The ancients had a sword every ten years, and Zhou Yan had been sharpening his sword for more than 14 years since he was four years old. On the way to the sword, he had gone high enough, far enough.
However, there have been a few restrictions that have prevented him from truly applying what he has learned.
That is tempering and the nature of the mind.
Swordsmanship is used to kill, and no matter how flowery the rhetoric is used, its essence has never changed. However, the world in his previous life was a relatively peaceful world, at least Zhou Yan never had the opportunity to fight with others with a long sword. Because of this, Zhou Yan had such a violent reaction after killing the goblin before.
"Only swordsmanship that has seen blood is the real swordsmanship."
When I was a child, my mother just said something about my self-confident self. Then he easily beat Zhou Yan to the ground, and the chickens flew and the dogs jumped.
And only now did Zhou Yan really understand the meaning of that sentence. After seeing blood, Zhou Yan's fourteen years of training finally made a qualitative leap, and he precipitated because of the blood.
What the long sword pointed at was Bai Yin's beating heart, and in the face of the shadow of death, Bai Yin's heart beat suddenly, leaving only a sentence in the air: "Blood is bad!" ”
The momentum of the explosion, easily away from the speed of Zhou Yan's long sword, the girl who was dyed red by the color of blood exploded her strongest and most terrifying ability regardless of it.
Even if you want to die, you have to die under your own power. With such a belief, even if her flesh and blood body will fall apart in the next moment due to the huge load caused by blood damage, she doesn't care about it. kicked his legs again in the air, forcibly used air resistance to turn the invisible air into a pedal, and crashed into Zhou Yan in reverse.
Bai Yin had just opened up a few minutes of distance, so that he would not be stabbed by Zhou Yan's long sword. The distance is too short, the time is too fast, this is even shorter than just now. Even though Bai Yin barely turned sideways, he still couldn't completely avoid Zhou Yan's sword. And Zhou Yan didn't have time to pull back the long sword defense. Naturally, he couldn't use the speed and power of the endless swordsmanship to unload Bai Yin.
"Bang", it was a dull impact. At such a short distance, Bai Yin's speed of recoil was even faster than the speed at which she slashed.
The long sword pierced the body and brought tearing pain, the short knife was still in the air and the knee had already hit Zhou Yan's chest.
"Wow!"
Zhou Yan spat out blood and flew out screaming. It was as if his chest had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and the sullen feeling made Zhou Yan's eyes change black and white constantly, and his brain crashed for a short time.
If it were an ordinary person under this knee blow, I am afraid that now the chest has been completely shattered, and the broken ribs have pierced the heart. However, Zhou Yan still mobilized the true qi of his whole body to his chest in that brief moment just now, and carried it stiffly.
flew upside down and fell to the ground, and Zhou Yan couldn't get up for a while. That crash was by no means as simple as it seemed. Even though the sternum was not broken, but after such a big impact, Zhou Yan felt that his internal organs were in severe pain. Moreover, Bai Yin's terrifying blow knocked away the true qi gathered in his chest, and the true qi was chaotic, so that Zhou Yan really enjoyed the pain of a meridian tearing.
"Kill you, Meow!" Bai Yin gritted her teeth, wanting to take a step, she only needed one step to reach Zhou Yan's place, and as a result, she lost his life.
But, but! Can't get by! Bai Yin only took that step, and the moment she took the step, her momentum suddenly converged.
"Meow!" made an unwilling sound, but it was Bai Yin's body that withdrew from the battle before her will.
It has the ability to bring terrifying explosive power to the user, and it is also the ability to put a huge load on the user itself. While gaining power beyond the limits of physics, it is at the cost of the collapse of his own blood, and even the destruction of **.
Under normal circumstances, Bai Yin rarely uses blood damage, and even if it does, it will control the time in a very short time. But in the past two days, she has used the ability of blood damage many times in a row.
The strength of Bai Yin's whole body, who was overwhelmed, disappeared in an instant, and he fell to the ground in a dejected manner.
Zhou Yan's situation was no better than Bai Yin's, and under Bai Yin's terrifying physical ability brought about by using blood damage, Zhou Yan was hurt more severely. If it weren't for the protection of True Qi, he would have died here at this moment.
Slowly smoothing out the true qi surging in the meridians, even though his whole body was in severe pain, Zhou Yan still stood up earlier than Bai Yin. Bai Yin, who was lying on the ground and couldn't move, could only look at Zhou Yan with an unwilling gaze mixed with despair.
As if he hadn't seen that look, Zhou Yan walked towards Bai Yin step by step with his sword, looking down at her condescendingly.
"If you want to kill, kill meow!" Bai Yin stared, although it was a stubborn word, but when he said it, he didn't have much strength.
Zhou Yan didn't say anything superfluous, and aimed the tip of the sword at Bai Yin's heart and was about to stab it, but at this moment, a huge roar came. Zhou Yan subconsciously stopped the movements in his hand and looked into the distance. In this direction, it is where Winterstone City is located.
