Chapter 373: Competition
Three days later, Jax and Yi made an appointment to go to the top of the mountain to prepare for the competition they had agreed upon.
After adjusting her schedule, Kahnkasha naturally did not miss this showdown of the century, and got up early in the morning to cheer.
The scenery on the mountain has changed a lot from before, and it is no longer full of desolation and death.
Although the distance is still covered with mottled snow, the Shousheng Koshita has long since regained spring.
The withered vines turn into spring mud, the bare roots are covered with a green carpet, dotted with white flowers adorn it, and the spirits sing happily, full of spring.
"The natural magic of Shoushengmu is so strong, and it has only been a few days before the lily has bloomed." Kai'Sa looked at the cemetery not far away and let her thoughts fly: "Maybe next year, the entire old site of Wuji Village will be turned into a lily garden." ”
Karn imagined for a moment the white lilies blooming all over the hills, the green grass clustering the sword mounds, and the tall mushrooms growing beside the sharp weapons that symbolized death, wasn't that the harmony that the Ionians revered?
I hope Yi can let go of his grief.
"That must be beautiful, right...... If we were Wuji disciples, maybe we would have made a love under the tree. ”
"Commitment?" Kai Sha thought for a moment and suddenly stood up: "Do you want me to ask Master Yi to take us as apprentices?" ”
"Don't, don't!" Karn hurriedly grabbed her, "I'll just talk about it, don't take it seriously." Everyone has their own life trajectory, and there is no need to envy another life. ”
With other purposes, they will definitely not be able to learn swords, and Wuji Kendo is not suitable for them. According to Karn's reasoning, the power of this sword technique would be greatly limited after leaving Ionia, after all, there was no other place with the same thin realm as Ionia.
Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, and the material realm returned to him. He had finished meditating and was back in shape.
"Are you ready? Master Yi. Jax lowered the lamppost he was carrying on his shoulders and watched Yi's every move intently.
Yi said: "I thought that when I didn't have time to clean up these vines, I would burn this place down and give up completely. ”
"It's irresponsible, but there's no way around it." Jax said.
He is indeed qualified to say so, because even after three thousand five hundred years, he has not given up on the fight against the Void that destroyed his homeland, and has been putting it into action.
"I don't have to do that." A fleeting smile rubbed into Yi's face, completely purifying the evil qi on the mountain, and it was also a wish. He drew his piercing sword and held it at his side: "Let's start!" ”
Fierce battle intent bloomed from the two of them, and the collision of spiritual pressure caused ripples on the green carpet on the ground. Before they made a move, the two seemed to have invisibly clashed hundreds of times.
Karn felt two completely different battle intentions, and the confrontation between the masters in front of him had a kind of artistic conception of a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City. He seemed to feel it, and the sharp eyes of the two sides pierced through the heavy goggles, and they exchanged fierce views in the air.
Yi attached the power of the spiritual realm to the sword, and the sword body glowed with emerald green light. He turned into an afterimage and rushed out, and the green grass was slightly low where the sword light went.
The Eternal Flame burst into flames, rushing out of the lampshade and enveloping the entire column head in the flames, Jax swept across the column, and the elongated flames formed a ring around his body, colliding with the sword light.
……
It's been a week since the two masters fought under the Mori Tree, but each time they reminisce, Karn has something to discover.
Karn once thought that in the Infinite Sword Path, the sword was the carrier of power, and the power drawn from the spiritual realm would attach to the sword and kill and injure the enemy.
But in the slow release of time magic, he saw that Yi's sword blade never slashed at people, but only swept through the air from a distance. Even the movement of swinging the sword is very casual, and it does not follow the moves of the sword technique.
And this just shows that Yi's swordsmanship has been extraordinary, back to basics.
The sword is not a carrier of magic, but the person who wields the sword. If you focus all your attention on the movement norms of the sword dance and focus on the state of meditation, you will ignore the essence of the swordsman.
If you want to communicate perfectly in the spiritual realm, you have to forget everything outside of yourself.
Therefore, once you enter this realm, even if you are holding only a branch in your hand, you can release great power.
The spirit sword can help the swordsman communicate with the spiritual realm, but the Wuji Kendo is not the sword, but the swordsman himself.
As for why the Wuji Swordsman did not enter the turbid world and did not stain blood, it was because the spirit on the sword was taboo to shed blood and kill.
Once the taboo is violated, the blessing of the sword spirit will lose its effectiveness, and it will be difficult for the swordsman to communicate with the spiritual realm to gain power.
If it is easy to do this, and you can communicate with the spiritual realm without the sword spirit, then this taboo can be completely bypassed.
In his hands, there is no difference between a scabbard and a bladed sword.
On the other side, Jax was under pressure that could be imagined, and through the sword in Yi's hand, he was facing the entire spiritual realm.
So he also showed real skills.
As a master weapon, he has fully understood and mastered the weapons in his hands. This is the opposite of Yi, where the former controls the weapon and the latter controls itself.
So from the very beginning, he saw that Yi's attack did not rely on the sword in his hand, and he couldn't and didn't plan to do it. He played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, gave full play to the advantages of his weapons, and frequently pushed Yi's sword out of the way.
The Eternal Flame seemed to burn a person's potential, and every blow from Jax was like giving it all out. And his endurance is almost infinite, like a flame that burns forever. This allows Jax to perform every move perfectly and efficiently, and every move that Yi Wuxin makes can be dismantled by him immediately when he finds a suitable move, as if it is an instinctive reaction engraved in the depths of his soul.
If Karn were to judge the outcome of this battle, it would be a real dilemma for him.
Rivalry is competition, and no one will use their full strength.
He felt that this battle would go on and there would only be two endings in the end.
Either Yi took out the strength of a sword to open the mountain and split Jax. Either it was easy to fight until the end, and he was defeated by Jax.
Jax is the first time to fight the Ionian masters, and Yi is also the first time to fight the people who use the lampposts, and both have gains.
……
Winter in Ionia is very short, and most of it has passed in a blink of an eye, and Yi is ready to go to Weili to wait for Zhan Chun.
Karn was a little surprised when he received the notice.
"Master Yi, didn't you just pay homage to the Wuji Rank? Why do you want to participate in Zhanchun? ”
"No amount of memorial service is better than meeting with a loved one who has passed away, not to mention that there is good news waiting for me to tell in person." Easy to touch his beard, a rare smile of expectation.
The so-called good news is nothing more than that the miasma in the hometown has been cleared by Shoushengmu, and the rank can rest in peace.
