Chapter Ninety-Seven: My Sword

It was at this time that the ice-blue figure turned its head to look at Xiao Yihan, as if he had seen some cherished prey, holding two swords, and quickly slashed towards Xiao Yihan. The speed of the ice blue figure was extremely fast, but Xiao Yihan also relied on the instinct accumulated from many battles to dodge the moment when the twin swords were about to slash at him.

Although he didn't know what the situation was, Xiao Yihan knew that this was an inevitable battle, so he quickly pulled out his long sword to face it. But it was at this time that he realized that he couldn't mobilize the cold qi of his cultivation, he was stunned in place for a moment, but the ice-blue figure would not give him this opportunity, and the sharp short sword immediately pierced his left shoulder, and the familiar coldness made Xiao Yihan react instantly when he was knocked back a few meters-

"Damn, my chill was absorbed by that guy!"

Knowing the reason why he couldn't use the cold qi, Xiao Yihan was not afraid, holding a long sword and rushing towards the ice-blue figure, he knew that this ice-blue figure came from the cold qi released by the mysterious bead, so the weakness of this figure must also be that bead. Thinking of this, Xiao Yihan aimed at the beads on the ice-blue woman's chest, stepped forward with an arrow, and stabbed it fiercely.

But how can things be so simple, the tip of the sword was caught by the two short swords before it had time to touch the body, and then the cold air around the ice-blue figure surged, condensed into several ice edges and smashed towards Xiao Yihan, Xiao Yihan saw that the situation was not good, and he stepped back, but after only a few steps back, he found that his right foot was frozen without knowing when, and those ice edges had rushed to him, he subconsciously waved the long sword in his hand to cut it off, but at this time, the ice-blue figure had also been killed, and the two sharp broken swords carried a terrifying cold and smashed on Xiao Yihan's sword, his whole body was directly smashed away by that huge force. However, even so, the ice-blue figure still did not let go of Xiao Yihan, taking advantage of Xiao Yihan's chance to be smashed into the air and not dodging, the surrounding cold air quickly condensed into dozens of sharp ice picks and stabbed towards Xiao Yihan.

"Sanhua!"

Seeing that he was no longer able to dodge this blow, Xiao Yihan gritted his teeth, and with a rapid swing of his wrist, the tip of the sword danced countless sword shadows in the void, like a white lotus blooming in the lake, and the sword shadows that were purely condensed by sword qi poured out like white lotus petals, destroying all the dozens of ice picks that surrounded him. However, in the next second, the bead condensed into an ice-blue figure and reappeared in front of Xiao Yihan's body, Xiao Yihan didn't even have time to react to how he appeared, and the two short swords had already slashed towards his throat.

"Kanri!"

Xiao Yihan instinctively raised his head back, then his wrist stopped waving, and quickly changed his sword style, and a mighty sword qi instantly gushed out from the tip of the sword, and the abdomen of the ice-blue figure was suddenly punched out of a fist-sized hollow. Xiao Yihan also fell to the ground because of the loss of balance in his body, looking at the ice-blue figure suspended in mid-air, his expression was extremely solemn, although the sword just now did not hit the chest but hit the abdomen, it stands to reason that it should be enough to seriously injure him. However, Xiao Yihan clearly saw that the place that was pierced by the sword he had just stabbed was recovering rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The speed, reflexes, bursts, strength, and even recovery are far superior to me, and I can use my cold energy...... This guy ...... I'm not an opponent......" Xiao Yihan said to himself, panting as he spoke, a tired look, the cold qi was absorbed by the mysterious bead, that is to say, Xiao Yihan could not use the battle qi to fight at all, he could only rely on his years of combat experience and the sword skills taught by Cao Wuming to deal with him, but without using the blessing of the battle qi, even the 'circumference' was a great challenge for Xiao Yihan's physical fitness.

"It's useless to hit other places, he can repair himself, and he can't attack the beads directly, not to mention the active attack and even parry in this state...... That destroys the body along with the beads...... Uh! it's now!" Xiao Yihan was still thinking about what to do, and the wound of the ice-blue figure had been repaired, and then quickly flashed in front of Xiao Yihan, and the two short swords were like two scythes of death, carrying a cold aura and slashing down. Xiao Yihan hurriedly resisted with the long sword in his hand, and the figures of the two were stalemate there, at this time, Xiao Yihan quickly changed his moves, surrounded by the mighty sword qi around his body, and a terrifying sword qi vortex spread out with Xiao Yihan as the center, however, in this sword qi vortex, the ice-blue figure seemed to have only received a slight impact, it did not move the short sword in its hand, but kicked Xiao Yihan's abdomen fiercely, and kicked it away again.

"Still can't do it?It seems that you can't do it without enough power, and the power must be at least at the level of Guanri, but, how can there be that kind of sword move? It's not an opponent, it can't be an opponent's......" Xiao Yihan's eyes dimmed, as if he had lost his fighting spirit, whether it was strength, speed, defense, and the degree of recovery of his body, he was far above him, and he couldn't use his battle qi, this was the most fatal point, and the only thing he could rely on was the sword in his hand-

"The sword in your hand?"

Xiao Yihan was in a trance, as if he suddenly recalled something-

Six years ago -

"Ahh

A wail came from a remote courtyard, and then a child who looked less than ten years old was sent flying several meters away, landing on the hard stone slab, and the wooden sword in his hand also fell to the ground, as if feeling the pain all over his body, the child's body tightly curled into a ball, trying to alleviate the pain from the wounds on his body.

"Pick up your sword and stand up, are you worthy of being a swordsman like this?" A slightly heavy voice came into Xiao Yihan's ears, he raised his head a little stubbornly, the corners of his eyes were full of tears that were about to burst out, and he asked weakly towards the owner of the voice:

"Uncle Wuming, I can already use my battle qi, why do you still want to seal my battle qi, you are so powerful, you are not allowed to use my battle qi, how can I beat you." ”

"Did I use the battle qi?Yi Han, the battle qi may be very important to others, but it is always only an auxiliary role for the swordsman, let me ask you, what is the most important thing for the swordsman?" Cao Wuming looked at Xiao Yihan lying on the ground, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said heavily.

"Yes...... Sword...... It's a sword in your hand......"

"Yes, we must never forget at any time, this is the most basic bottom line of a swordsman! The power of a swordsman does not come from the battle qi, not from the body, not from the soul, without the sword in the hand, without the sword in the heart, he is not worthy of being a swordsman!"

"Understood...... There is no need for battle qi, a sword is a sword...... The sword in the hand, which is ...... My sword!"

Xiao Yihan's eyes slowly opened, at this moment, his whole person's momentum had become completely different, and the mighty sword qi suddenly erupted from his body, beside him, roaring on his sword body, and there were bursts of sword sounds in this boundless darkness. It seemed to feel the changes in Xiao Yihan's body, the ice-blue figure did not stop, and rushed forward with an arrow, like a lightning glowing with ice-blue light in this darkness, rushing towards Xiao Yihan with lightning speed. It was at this time that the sword qi around Xiao Yihan quickly condensed behind him a giant sword phantom more than ten meters long, and this giant sword phantom could feel the endless sword intent contained in it just by appearing there-

"Yantian Sword Might!"
