Chapter 18: Sword Fight
The war has entered a whole new realm.
The two people who were using the surging spiritual energy were fighting with their swords with a fierce momentum that did not give in to each other.
Damn it...... This guy is so strong that people have nothing to say.
Although he was very unhappy with Genji's serious style on weekdays, at this moment, Ping Qingle once again realized that the other party was a genuine and powerful martial artist. The otherworldly swordsmanship, as well as the fighting spirit as sharp as the blade, fully prove this. This made her have a little more respect for the female warrior in front of her.
Over the past few hundred years, she has been cultivating very hard. I didn't expect to be inferior in the end, could it be said that Genji is a genius who is better than himself?
No, it's not like that.
Almost immediately, Ping Qingle threw this negative thought into the abandoned area of his mind, which was responsible for storing useless memories.
Indeed, she is now in a state of disadvantage. However, the strength of the two is almost the same, which means that as the most important part of the body, the heart, technique, and body of a warrior, she is on par with Genji. As for the heart part, she is confident that her fighting spirit and desire to win will not lose half a point to the other party. Then all that's missing is ...... This aspect of technology.
That's right, Taira Qingle is indeed very good at close combat, and he also has a lot of experience in the two sword streams used, but before Genji's magical swordsmanship, he was obviously inferior to her.
It is not surprising that there will be such a gap, and if Taira is an excellent warrior, although he is also eager to fight strong opponents, he is more eager to win. Genji, then, was a noble samurai, a seeker who made martial arts a goal that he had no regrets about spending his entire life. The different attitudes towards Wu have already determined their differences.
Although I understand this truth, I ...... That's too much.
Ping Qingle secretly scolded the dilemma he was facing in his heart.
Did you perceive Ping's agitation? The situation that had remained silent from the beginning of the battle until now was broken by Kira.
"It's really an extraordinary swordsmanship, and although it's not otherworldly, it's clearly a sword of steel that can only be perfected after full training. I'm impressed with you, Ping."
Qiluo, who said this in a leisurely tone, should be praising Ping Qingle. There was no sarcasm in her handsome countenance, but her words still didn't match reality. In the face of this sword that has always been calmly dealt with, she has to look at it better.
"Do you want to impress me?!"
Roaring loudly, the small Taida, which had always been wrapped in red aura, turned into red lightning and galloped towards Genji's head with the swing of his right hand. Ten times the speed of sound, just waving it attracts an atmospheric roar within a radius of 100 meters.
This sword with abundant power is undoubtedly a killer move -- anyone would think so.
But in fact, this murderous move is just a false move as a disguise, and as long as the enemy parries hard, he will definitely be pierced through the heart by another thrust in his left hand.
But will it be so easy to succeed?
Of course not. This is something that even Hei had expected.
Looking at the red light that came from the upper right of him, the long knife with the name of authenticity struck again. Not a violent thrust, but an accurate blow to the incoming blade that deflected it from its original trajectory. Kira made the most correct move.
Zuo Jian, who was originally ready to attack, didn't keep up, because if the second attack was fruitless again, Ping Qingle would fall into the embarrassing situation of opening the door wide, and once he fell into that situation, it was already equivalent to losing. And, if she's not bad...... Kira's counterattack is about to arrive.
Sure enough, after a ten-thousandth of a second, or an even shorter fraction of a second, a swift slash came.
Aiming at the whole body, it seems to cut off Ping Qingle's waist, and it seems that it is too late to dodge. The only remaining option is to resist.
That's what Kira wants.
Ping used the small knife in his left hand to hold off Kira's sword, and the force of making the wrist bone vibrate was already familiar to her, who had been in a hundred battles. But there was another kind of pain that made her feel uncomfortable.
Every time he struggled with Genji's sword, Taira felt hundreds of completely different forces invading his body.
A sword that should be simple actually contains spiritual power with different attributes such as yin or yang, strange or positive, or rigid or soft, not only that, but also contains a variety of luck methods, containing hundreds of spiritual energy within a single blow. Not to mention that Pingqingle has never seen it, it is simply unheard of. She couldn't help but feel the urge to scold.
Every time the swords intersect, hundreds of qi will invade from the outside in, and even though they are still uninjured on the outside, in fact, Ping Qingle has already suffered a lot of internal injuries.
The Taira clan believed that Kira must have suffered some internal injuries, but even in the best case, it would not be worse than her own injuries, because although her spiritual energy gushing with each sword was strong, it was not as ever-changing as Kira's, and she could not resist it.
In other words, in fact, Ping Qingle has fallen into the dilemma of eliminating the advantages of one and the other, if he doesn't want to come up with a countermeasure. Then in the end, there was only one word waiting for her.
-- I will win.
Kira has such confidence. And she has a strength commensurate with self-confidence.
In front of everyone, she always maintains a calm and unhurried demeanor, just to make her every move not fall into the name of Genji, and the effort she puts in behind the scenes is unimaginable to ordinary people.
But she doesn't underestimate her opponent because that's an insult to herself.
Realistically speaking, Ping Qingle is indeed a good opponent. I didn't expect this Meng Lang generation, who had always been displeasing to his eyes, to have such strength. Kira raised her opinion of her opponent inwardly.
It's just that...... I've been using [Guiyi] since just now, but at least now Ping Qingle still doesn't show any different colors on the surface, although this is because she deliberately showed mercy because it was not a battle of life and death, but the other party must be the same. It can only be said that the internal injuries suffered by the Ping clan are not enough to make her combat power decrease.
This judgment is correct. But it is also one-sided.
Because the Taira clan not only has the strength to continue fighting, but also the strength to win.
"Ahh
The roaring Taira forcibly forced Kira back with his sword, and the distance was widened.
Then, not caring about the faint colic pain in the internal organs at all, with a bright smile on his face, Ping Qingle raised his sword and pointed at Qiluo and said.
"Hey...... Although I usually look like you look demented, I didn't expect it to be so fierce when I fight. If you want to be impressive, I'm the one who is right."
Hehe smiled, even if it was a rare praise for the enemy, Ping's tone was so improper. But in the next moment, her tone became as if all the cheerfulness she had so far had been an illusion, and it was hard to believe that she had been cold.
"The next trick I didn't really want to use. But in that case, there is nothing you can do about it--then, be prepared to bleed."
In the face of this murderous aura, Kira remained silent. No, strictly speaking, this is not murderous intent, nor is it hostile...... It's just a simple story of the fighting spirit of "wanting to win".
Kira understood. This young girl is not looking for meaningless battles, she craves only pure victory. Only this one makes sense to her.
Authentic reversal, the tip of the sword pointed at the Ping clan. Calm down, the current Kira has entered the realm of the heart like water...... No matter what kind of attack, she can deal with it without falling behind.
The injuries she suffered...... There weren't many--looking at Genji, Taira judged so. By now, it's almost time to admit that Genji's swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary, above himself. The longer she dragged out the fight, the worse it would be for herself, so she decided to do it quickly.
The strength is equal, the skill is inferior...... So, where are the factors that let yourself win.
For Ping Qingle, the answer is self-explanatory.
The aura that was already permeating her body became brighter and brighter, and even the surrounding space was dyed extremely red, and red thunder flashed around her. That's the power that makes the laws of physics collapse.
"Come on—let me see if you can still hold off my attacks."
As soon as the words fell, Ping Qingle disappeared in front of Qiluo's eyes.
That's right, it's disappearing. Without any signs, Ping Qingle disappeared.
By the time Kira realizes what is happening, her body has become the prey of Kotaito.
"Hmm!"
Kira couldn't help but let out a heavy **, and blood gushed out from her right hand and left leg. The tendons in her right hand and the Achilles tendon in her left leg had been severed, and in short, she could no longer hold her sword hard or move at high speed - until these wounds were healed. With Yuedu's technology, it is certainly not difficult to re-repair the body.
And the initiator of everything, as if he had never done anything, had never moved, and did not know when he was standing in the position he had just been. Looking at Kira's bleeding limbs, a smile appeared at the corner of Ping's mouth.
"How? Genji, is this sword still satisfying you?"
The white clothes had been soaked in blood, which made Kira's beauty look so poignant. But even in the depths of this unfavorable situation, she still did not change her face. The composure is amazing.
"Is that a super-high-speed movement...... My eyes can't even catch up, it's amazing."
If it was a simple spatial movement, Kira would definitely be able to detect it, but in fact, the attack was over before she even noticed it just now. This can only mean one thing, the speed of the other party is far beyond imagination.
That's not something that can be described with hypersonic actions. For any of the four squares, if you are serious, you can reach a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound, but that is a completely different dimensional concept just now. In Kira's eyes, it's more like ......
"Time suspended...... No, it should be a change in the flow of time."
"That's a good point. I'm just changing my speed by changing the flow of time, but I'm afraid it doesn't make a difference to you."
Genji's wise judgment gave Taira an urge to applaud.
"You shouldn't be able to use this trick for a long time...... Time is one of the higher concepts involved in the composition of the universe, and it is not easy for people to use this trick unless they are born with special attributes."
"Not bad."
Hei admitted the matter without any hesitation. Because for her, just one thing is enough.
"I'll hit you before then, though...... How about the next move?"
Contrary to his arrogant rhetoric, Ping Qingle's attitude was very calm. She seemed to be quietly announcing something insignificant.
Heiji indifferently raised the small knife in her right hand, and she decided to rush to Kira at high speed in a moment, and knock Genji unconscious with the handle of the knife with the inertia of movement.
The red thunder that wrapped around Ping's body reappeared. It was also a harbinger of her imminent entry into the realm of speed, and if there was any weakness in this move, it was the only and fatal portent.
-- I couldn't see the enemy's trajectory, a fact that Genji had learned from the round he had just played. Her eyes of pride couldn't catch up with Ping's figure at all...... To make matters worse, because her tendons and Achilles tendons were severed, she couldn't hold her sword or run hard.
None of this is a problem, though.
Kira closed her eyes.
The difference between a warrior and a warrior is evident here.
Unlike the Heping clan, Kira doesn't really have much desire for victory in his heart. What she expected was a simple battle, a ritual of questioning herself, asking about the meaning of her existence.
Let the heart merge into this land, and there are only four beings in this field. And her opponent was not far in front of her.
As if trying to defeat the opponent in front of him by an overwhelming margin, Taira struck Kira, and the speed at which he entered a new realm seemed to be unbelievable. However, at this moment, Kira is also different from just now. She didn't have any confusion in her insight into everything, and she didn't have any determination in her heart, and her consciousness may not have kept up with the attacking Ping, but her sword still preceded her consciousness without confusion.
It's not a slash, it's just a simple one, raise the sword forward, and let the tip of the sword rush towards the Taira.
With a thud, their swords pierced each other's bodies.
