Chapter 60: Fighting Qi Turns into a Sword
I once heard that there are sword immortals in the east.
That is to go further than the sword of the Fengjian Gate, a crazy cultivator who is obsessed with the sword.
Not satisfied with the mundane sword made by others.
Nor is it satisfied with a sword that can turn everything into a sharp sword.
Their obsession tends to be close to the Tao, with the body as the furnace and the soul as the sword guts, refining the internal force of a body and their soul together into a sword, which is the sword of their own destiny.
The sword is in the people, the sword is dead, the demons are changing, and the gods and Buddhas are not dang.
It's a pity that this kind of sword immortal is only a flash in the pan after all, even if one of them has not been seen for thousands of years, and all of them are short-lived, it seems that these immortals were born in order to exchange a life with a certain extraterritorial evil god, although it is claimed to be the ultimate of [solid] internal strength, but there are too few surviving records, it is difficult to say which is stronger or weaker than the sword of Fengjianmen.
Its sword art has been passed down in Wawu Mountain, and it exists in the martial arts as an inner swordsmanship sect that is not up or down.
Then the filth came, the Qin and Han dynasties marched westward, the United Kingdom was established, and the great exchange of warriors from the East and the West arrived, and this sword immortal method actually ushered in a turning point at this time.
There are often people who believe that internal force is stronger than vindictive spirit, saying that vindictive spirit is just an extreme inferior internal force.
Gone to extremes, indeed.
Inferior, but not necessarily.
At least the Wawu vein has succeeded in finding a new path on top of the fighting spirit.
The method of cultivating the sword immortal with fighting energy, although it cannot reach the realm of turning the whole body into a sword, it greatly reduces the threshold for cultivation, and it can refine more than one sword of fighting spirit, and when the sword of fighting qi is damaged, it will not affect the life as much as the natal sword is damaged, and with the mature method of the sword, the method of battle is endless.
Although the Wawu family has studied this kind of swordsmanship, they are faced with the embarrassing situation that no one is willing to practice.
Sword immortals have always been high in the martial arts, mysterious legends, the Wawu lineage can rely on the sword art without the natal sword to exist in the martial arts for a long time, more actually rely on people's admiration for them, and now they want to refine it with fighting spirit, how can people accept it?
And the Wawu family itself is not willing to let Westerners easily learn their own secret traditions, and civilians who don't even have a surname naturally can't look down on them, they must be nobles with surnames, and they must be willing to give up their surnames and change to the surnames of Qin and Han to prove their sincerity and teach secret methods.
When the true god was still alive, there were still people who were willing to accommodate these stubborn Wawu people, and after the true god fell into a deep sleep, except for those who had joined the Wawu lineage and their descendants, there were almost no outsiders who practiced this fighting qi sword technique.
Hundreds of years have passed, the United Kingdom has gradually developed, and the human population has gradually expanded, but the practitioners of this Douqi Sword Technique are still only internal generations.
And even if this method of fighting qi and transforming the sword greatly reduces the difficulty of cultivation, the foundation of the method of sword immortals is still too high, and the reduction is only relative, there are many people who cannot practice famous among the descendants, and there are more and more people in the younger generation who are tempted by other martial arts that are easier to cultivate.
Duchem Lee is the product of Vawu's change, he is a commoner from the Wicken people and does not have a surname, the surname "Li" was given to him by his master, and every time he can only get a layer of cultivation, and he must constantly prove that he is worthy of this surname in order to get the next level of cultivation.
What is blocking him at the Adamantite level now and preventing him from becoming a modern legend is not his talent, nor his actual combat experience, but precisely the lack of the next step.
That's why he's the most active Adamantite adventurer right now, and he's in need of credit and honor.
Duchem withdrew the three swords of fighting energy from the first strike.
These three swords deliberately strengthened their speed, so their strength was weakened, and even if they injured the opponent, these three swords might not be able to recover even if they were forced to attack.
Black thorns appear out of thin air, and the way these thorns attack seems to be their very existence rather than assassination or entanglement.
When they appear, they will squeeze out the existence that originally existed in that space, and their destructive power is not comparable to simple physical attacks, and the physical means that can block such attacks may be almost non-existent.
Fortunately, Duchem sensed the movement in advance, raised his sword finger, and eight fighting swords surrounded him, causing those black thorns to shatter when they appeared.
Duchem couldn't help but look at the battle situation on the ground with distraction, this shadow has such a means, so what kind of casualties should the adventurers on the ground have?
However, the situation was far better than he expected, and with the exception of some unlucky adventurers who were known for their defensive strength and tried to resist hard, most of the adventurers who adopted this strategy of evasion survived.
Particularly striking is a two-sword warrior surrounded by a strange wooden wheel, who shuttles through the city's battlefields, constantly rescuing and keeping some of the adventurers out of the way.
Another thorn appeared, still easily dealt with by the sword of fighting energy, and Duchem found this shadow a little strange.
First of all, the strength of this thorn, the fighting spirit of that dual-sword warrior seems to be only at the peak of the silver level, the bottom level of the gold level, and the wheel of unknown purpose did not play a role in the process of cutting the thorns.
Although in terms of the attack method of this thorn, its own strength is actually not important, after all, it attacks directly with its [existence], but this level that even silver-level adventurers can easily cut is still a bit strange.
And the behavior of the shadow standing still on the top of the castle is also very strange, it is not just fighting back, it can also see the adventurers who did not attack it at all being attacked, but it is not a strong desire to attack, even for Duchem, who has attacked it, the two counterattacks use exactly the same means, even by the standards of the shadow, it is too monotonous.
Normally, the more powerful the shadow means before death, the more repetitive the attack pattern is, and the more repetitive the attack pattern is, using the exact same means twice in a row can only mean that this guy has no other attack methods.
I thought it would be a great achievement, but it would be disappointing if it was only to this extent...... In Duchem's opinion, the evaluation of the Adventurers' Association is very strict, and it may be difficult to say whether there will be a loss of credit, but there is never a case of one more point.
Duchem found that there seemed to be some brave adventurers fighting in Castle Black, but they had to face the elusive thorns and other shadows in the castle, which was full of dangers.
Duchem's sword fingers flipped over, and eight more Douqi swords appeared, and in addition to the previous eight, a circle was encircled, and the two circles of Douqi swords rotated staggeredly, and Duchem rushed into the black castle, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, making countless holes in the mountain-like black city, sweeping away the enemies around the adventurers in the castle.
"Don't be reckless! With me here, you guys retreat first!"
A few adventurers seemed to be a little unwilling, but after discovering that it was him, they still had no choice but to retreat.
It must have been the same to discover the strangeness of this shadow, for Duchem this shadow is a bit disappointing, but for the ordinary gold level may be a rare good opportunity.
But no matter how good the opportunity is, there is no way, you can grab anything from Duchem, just don't take credit from him.
Duchem glanced at the Magic Eye in the sky, pretending to be looking for other survivors in Castle Black, but in fact he picked the most suitable angle, and then soared into the sky!
Sixteen swords of fighting qi merged into one, and a giant sword like blue glass appeared, enveloping Duchem like amber, destroying the castle all the way, rushing straight to the shadow at the top of the castle.
A huge black warhammer slammed into the greatsword, sending it slightly off course, but shattering itself.
The closer you get to the shadow of the city lord, the more black thorns appear, jagged and staggered, like the tail of a dragon.
Although the strength of the individual was limited, the sheer mass limited the Blue Greatsword's movements, preventing Duchem from correcting its trajectory in time.
The greatsword took half of the Castle Lord's Shadow's body, but failed to destroy it with a single blow.
Duchem was annoyed in his heart, if this feeling of being done in one go was gone, the sensory stimulation to the person who evaluated it would be greatly reduced!
The blue greatsword spun in the air and rushed towards the Shadow of the City Lord again.
At this moment, the shadow of the fainter and fading female guards in the city finally disappeared completely.
Although the city lord in the black lady costume was only half of his body left, he showed a strange smile instead.
A small sword hidden deep in Duchem's dantian trembled suddenly, he did not hesitate to disperse the giant sword, and shot out these sixteen fighting swords one by one with the method of Dou Qi explosion, attacking the enemy while using the power of reaction to open the distance at an extremely fast speed!
"Ahh ”
With a single hand, the space where Duchem had been instantly shattered, like a mirror smashed by a hammer, and at the same time, she herself was almost dissipated by the sixteen flying swords, but the filthy power that made up the black castle quickly filled its body, restoring it to its original state.
The last of Duchem's sixteen Fighting Swords was swept away by the spatial crack, almost dissipating, but he was not surprised.
"You have that kind of strength!"
Without hesitation, he smashed the almost shattered Dou Qi Sword along with the other seven, and the thick and liquid Dou Qi was absorbed by the original eight Dou Qi Swords, making them look like real objects.
"God's Presence!"
With an order, an eight-door sword formation instantly took shape.
The shadow of the city lord reached out and shook it again, but it couldn't shake the space where Duchem was.
It then stretched out its left hand to hold a cup, and a goblet appeared in its hand, and the liquid in it was black from the power of filth, and the smell came from it, but it still reminded those who saw it of blood at a glance.
The Shadow of the City Lord's hand holding the cup tilted slightly, and black blood flowed out of the cup like an endless stream.
Duchem was vigilant in his heart, and constantly stimulated the sword qi to attack the shadow of the city lord with a sword array.
The shadow of the city lord has no defense, and allows the sword qi to add to his body, and the wound has healed at the same time as it appears, and those with poor eyesight will definitely mistake it for a phantom because they can't see the wound appear.
The blood poured in that cup didn't seem to be much, but when it came into contact with the black castle that had collapsed half of it because of Duchem's giant sword before, the castle was like a torrent falling from the sky, and the black blood erupted like a torrent, rushing towards the adventurers who had not completely evacuated!
The shadow of the city lord looked at Duchem with a defiant smile.
Duchem was terrified in his heart, this kind of reaction did not seem to be the shadow of repeating the act of overlooking!
He knew that the most likely situation was that there was a situation similar to the legendary powerhouse leading troops to attack the city, and the city lord used this hand to contain the enemy, at this time, the shadow just invoked the past, but he felt indescribably strange in his heart.
So he made a decision to send only the three fastest Fighting Swords to cover the other adventurers, with the highest priority of killing this City Lord's Shadow!
The three fast swords carried the billowing sword qi and split the torrent, winning a temporary escape space for the adventurers.
However, the three Dou Qi swords, which lacked strength, soon made a sound like ice breaking, and cracks continued to appear on the sword body.
"Excalibur, come!"
There are many ways to use these eight sword formations, and if you want to exert the maximum power, you still have to trap the enemy in the sword formation.
If he used sixteen flying swords, he should have a chance, but since he had already injured one, then forcibly doing so would only expose flaws in vain, because he chose to strengthen the eight swords and use the method of divine presence to cast the sword formation.
"God?" the Shadow of the City Lord chuckled.
But I saw a giant who looked like Duchem himself, but was dressed in the traditional Qin and Han uniforms, appeared on the sword array, and the giant raised his sword finger and swung down towards the shadow of the city lord!
The sword finger turned into a sword blade in the process of swinging down, and by the time it pointed to the shadow of the city lord, the giant's whole body had turned into a divine sword!
This Dharma is called Divine Presence, but it is the one who regards himself as God and summons the stronger self of the future!
The shadow of the city lord changed slightly, and he raised his wine glass, which actually resisted the huge divine sword, but the black blood like a mountain torrent was also cut off from the source.
It spread out its right hand, and a black staff immediately appeared, and a round of black moon slowly rose and smashed into the sword array!
At this time, the three fast swords that had been liberated were on the verge of shattering, and in an instant, they had already killed the shadow of the city lord and slashed at the staff.
Although the three Dou Qi swords immediately shattered completely, the Dou Qi that erupted when they were destroyed further disrupted the spell casting, and the black moon shook slightly, like a moon in water.
A small sword spat out of Duchem's mouth, suddenly came out, and suddenly returned, its voice was indifferent, and its shadow was indifferent.
Like a leaky balloon, the Black Moon became smaller and smaller as it traveled, and finally it was powerless to shake the sword formation.
The glass was eventually shattered by the Excalibur, but the lord was not killed as Duchem thought.
A black handpiece appeared on the city lord's right hand, and it grasped the Excalibur so firmly that it could not advance any further.
One person and one shadow were so deadlocked.
Duchem knew that something was wrong, although this place was not a polluted area, but there was still a black castle under the shadow of the city lord, and unless it was to consume the entire mountain-like castle, there was no reason why this shadow could not be supported.
The amount of Fighting Qi he possessed as a Adamantite Gold level could already be regarded as exceptional, because he could compress it by refining the Fighting Qi into a sword, although the amount of Fighting Qi contained in each sword and the total number of swords were limited, but it could also be two or three times that of the ordinary Adamantite Gold level.
However, he didn't feel that he had the power to exhaust as much filth as a mountain.
What to do...... That's right, since the shadow of the castle lord is in a stalemate with himself, then just let the other adventurers attack the castle!
He looked at the Eyes of Magic, and after the battle heated up, there were many more Eyes of Magic in the sky, and although most of them were affected by the aftermath, and even if they were not completely destroyed, they were no longer functional, but there were still two Eyes of Magic in the sky that survived.
Great, it seems that the watchdog of the association is good!
He forced out a mental power and sent a message to the Eye of Magic.
The members of the Adventurer's Guild, who were originally organizing the adventurers' retreat, received a notice from the association and hurriedly began to reorganize the adventurers, asking them to return to the castle, but even if the words of the guild members gradually changed from requirements to orders, from orders to threats, most of the adventurers could not change their minds.
Just kidding, it's all like that, who would dare to go back?
The Adamantite level can't hold on, do you want us to be cannon fodder?
It doesn't matter if you are demoted, what is the point of being promoted by three levels if you die?
What is needed to purify the filth is the population, and the act of killing people to supervise the war has long been abandoned even in the army, and the adventurer's guild does not have the right to take action against adventurers who just avoid war.
Although there are some gold level people who are okay with their own strength, and some silver level with a strong sense of responsibility have returned to the castle, this point is really a drop in the bucket.
Duchem could only hold on.
The operation of the sword array began to become sluggish, and cracks began to appear in the eight fighting swords that made up the sword array.
At the moment when the sword array completely collapsed.
Just when Duchem showed a desperate expression.
A small sword left the strange sound behind and appeared in the center of the city lord's shadow!
However, the sword failed to penetrate.
The Excalibur shattered instantly, and Duchem's body instantly appeared in front of the City Lord's Shadow with the last momentum of the Excalibur, and the fingers of his right hand merged with the small sword and stabbed into its head.
With the sword finger of his left hand on his right shoulder, Duchem used the last of his strength to slash down with his right hand, and the blue light cut the entire mountain-like black castle in half with its owner!
"Whew, whew, uh, grate. ”
Severely overdrawn, Duchem almost vomited blood, barely floating in the air to prevent himself from falling into the power of filth.
It would be too ...... to drown in the black mud like this
...... Why is Castle Black still the way a castle looks?
The core has been destroyed, and even if there is no ebb tide, it should at least lose its form and turn into black mud!
He looked up in disbelief and saw the shadow of the woman who kept her hands in half and smiled at him.
There was a bit of innocence in that smile, and it was a beauty that was almost overwhelming.
But in his eyes, it was like the embodiment of terror.
The Shadow of the City Lord easily spelled herself back, she had been just playing since the beginning.
There was real desperation on Duchem's face.
At this moment, a trace of blood broke through the dirty black, revealing the castle and the shadow of the city lord.
The Shadow of the City Lord suddenly cracked open, and Rot, who had used his pocket watch to transform back into the appearance of the Qin and Han people, appeared together with Lijielit at the original location of the Shadow of the City Lord.
One pair of eyes looks at two pairs of eyes.
Lot hurriedly used the temporary connection that Lijielit had established to take him out with him, and frantically passed on his heart.
"Jam! Jam with me!"
