Chapter 4: The Shadow of the Sword
The sound of the sword did not stop, and Shangguan Wuji endured the pain, but he also showed an excited look.
The essence outside the valley kept condensing into the valley, and finally became human shapes, all of which were composed of energy and became translucent. They come in various colors like green, gold, red, and many more, some hold swords in one hand, some hold swords in both hands, and some swords hang above their heads.
Some of them stood on the ground, some leaned their bodies, and some flew in the air, with different powers, and when they counted them, they found that they were exactly one hundred and eight people.
Luo Yi sighed in his heart: "It really appeared, even if it was death, it was enough to be proud, many people couldn't go this far!"
The one hundred and eight figures did not immediately attack Shangguan without a trace, they first stood still, then retracted into a normal standing posture, and slowly evolved into the previous moves.
Luo Yi said, "Could it be that they are teaching him swordsmanship?"
Shangguan Wuji, who was proficient in swordsmanship, saw this process and had a big head for a while, and at first he thought he was demonstrating it to them, but after looking closely, he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't get any inspiration except that he felt that the moves were strange. Even Master Dong and Gu Xi felt the same way, so they guessed that only the Shangguan in the valley could understand the mystery, and those demonstrations were just for him?
They moved their gaze to Shangguan Wuxian and found that he did not look happy, but his face was even heavier. In fact, Shangguan Wuxian in the valley also felt very speechless, he couldn't understand anything at all, he only felt murderous, and he was like a lamb stared at by dozens of wolves at the same time.
moved, one hundred and eight people moved at the same time, but fortunately, they still did not attack Shangguan without a trace, but only changed their original position. Each sword style stood in a more advantageous position, and the speed at which they moved was called a fast, far from being comparable to the previous stone sword, if they attacked Shangguan without a trace like this, they would not be able to dodge at all.
"Whew~" Shangguan Wuji suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes again. With a smile on his face, he spun around and glanced at each sword style. He completely relaxed himself, stretching out his arms at shoulder height.
Shangguan Wuxian read the word "come" from his lips, and saw that he slowly closed his eyes, and knew that something was wrong. He shouted, "No!" and rushed in without hesitation.
However, those figures were faster than him, and the one hundred and eight types attacked instantly, hitting directly, without a single stab, instantly making Shangguan Wuxian become like a hedgehog. Immediately after that, the figures rushed by, leaving Shangguan Wuxian faint and transparent, and those sword shadows froze a few meters away from him. In the end, Shangguan Wuxian turned into a translucent energy body like those sword shadows, and dissipated into the air with them, and the sound of the sword stopped.
Shangguan Wuxian rushed to the position before Shangguan Wuji, but there was nothing, leaving nothing in vain and hatred.
Shangguan Wuxian shouted, "No trace." ”
Gu Xi said regretfully: "Sure enough, it still failed." ”
Master Dong let go of his divine sense and sensed the surroundings, but he couldn't sense anything, and said sadly: "How can this be, there is no room for salvation!"
Gu Xi said: "You can imagine how powerful the Sword Saint was back then. ”
Shangguan Wuxian searched everywhere to no avail, drew his sword out of the sheath, and roared angrily at the sky: "Ah!" A sword slashed out at the opposite mountain, and the sword light left a deep mark on the mountain. Tears also hung on his sunny face, which made people feel heart-wrenching when they looked at it.
Although Luo Yi was hurt, he was calm, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while. He began to carefully recall the whole process, and when he suddenly seemed to have figured out something, he showed a little excitement, and he said to Shangguan Wuji: "Wait, Senior Brother Wuji shouldn't be dead yet." ”
Shangguan Wuxian seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, stopped sobbing slightly, looked at Luo Yi hopefully, and asked, "What do you say?"
Luo Yi analyzed: "Since he is known as the Sword Saint, he must have made great merits during his lifetime, and he left one hundred and eight supreme swordsmanship for future generations, and he should not let future generations only die without life." Presumably, he set up a defense in order to keep his swordsmanship from falling into the hands of ordinary people, or those with improper mental skills, and did not want to disgrace his swordsmanship. ”
Everyone looked at him, and although it made sense, what should be done next?
Luo Yi continued: "Those one hundred and eight moves are all big killing styles, with a fierce murderous aura, not to mention someone who has just finished the tribulation, even if it is you, the master, you should not be able to finish all the moves!"
Gu Xi nodded, and Luo Yi continued: "So there is a life gate here. Thinking back to the fact that Senior Brother Wuji finally closed his eyes, his whole body relaxed should not be self-abandonment, but wanting to experience its sword intent. Presumably, only by being stabbed into his body by these sword shadows and accepting it with a completely non-resisting mentality can he deeply understand his sword intent. Otherwise, it is difficult to learn from their self-presentation, which you should also feel. ”
Everyone nodded, and Luo Yi continued: "So I speculate that Shangguan Wuji did not die, but was taken to another place by the sword shadows. ”
Shangguan Wuxian asked, "Where is it?"
Luo Yi replied: "I don't know. ”
Everyone else was very disappointed, but Master Dong fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said, "What you said is not unreasonable, I have heard of a legend, one flower is one world, one leaf is one Bodhi, which means to recreate the world in this world. And the person who has reached this level is extremely powerful, but if it is a sword master, it should be able to do it. ”
Shangguan Wuxian lit the flame of hope again and asked, "Then how can I enter that world?"
Master Dong said: "I'm ashamed to say that I only heard the legend, and I couldn't do that." ”
Gu Xi said: "I heard that this kind of world is extremely difficult to find, even if you enter from the same place, it may be another world. Except for the caster, even if he can get in, it is difficult to get out. ”
Shangguan Wuxian asked Luo Yi: "Do you have a way?"
At this time, everyone looked at him, and Luo Yi said, "You can give it a try, but the chance of success is only seventy percent." ”
Shangguan Wuxian was delighted: "This is already very high, you say, what should we do?"
Luo Yi explained: "You and Senior Brother Wuji are brothers, and the two are of the same blood, if you enter through the same entrance, it is more likely to enter the same world." As long as you use the Juggernaut's one hundred and eight style exhalation entrance, then there is a high possibility of entering the same world, because it is the world created by the Juggernaut that is exhaled with the Juggernaut's technique. The combination of the two conditions makes it seventy percent certain. We'll send you in the same way as a brother without a trace, and you can bring him out. ”
Shangguan Wuxian said: "I have no problem, but who knows that swordsmanship, if you don't say that it is a god, even if you have its shape, no one can do it." He looked at the two masters, who shook their heads helplessly.
Luo Yi said: "I can give it a try, those sword styles are still relatively clear in my mind, and you must open your heart when the time comes, and you can't have the psychology of Sihao resistance." I'll change my moves to stab at you, try to avoid the key points, and maybe it will be a good opportunity for you. ”
No one could believe it, but there was no other way around it. Shangguan Wuxian said, "Okay." ”
Luo Yi asked, "Can I use your sword?"
Shangguan Wuxian handed the sword to Luo Yi and said, "Yes, it is not a spiritual weapon at present, and I have not recognized the master, so I will ask you next." ”
Luo Yi took the sword and said to the others, "You guys retreat outside the valley for a while. Everyone quickly left, staring down.
Shangguan Wuxian stood in the position of his former brother, his whole body relaxed, and looked at Luo Yi.
Luo Yi walked into the distance and came to the position of the previous sword shadow, he closed his eyes, and the sword styles were projected in his mind one by one, as if he had moved.
Suddenly, Shangguan Wuxian smiled happily because he heard the sound of the sword, and it was getting louder and louder. Yes, this is the kind of voice before, it can be determined that Luo Yi has achieved his god, and the hope of saving his younger brother has greatly increased. The sound of the sword is getting louder and louder, but for the current Shangguan Wuji, it is not enough to make him bleed.
The two masters outside the valley also heard the sound of the sword, and they were both very shocked, and Master Dong exclaimed: "The future life is terrifying." ”
Gu Zhong Luo Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze was like two sharp swords flying out, very sharp. He moved, he started in an unusual way, and the movements, positions, and arcs were very weird. At the same time, the wind moved in all directions, and the aura gathered towards him, Luo Yi paused slightly, and then jumped away.
At the same time as he jumped away, he left behind a sword shadow, which was formed by the gathering of surrounding essence, forming a translucent shape, only with its human form, and its appearance could not be distinguished, and it was the same as the previous sword shadow.
Luo Yi is another strange sword style, the sword goes sideways, tilts upward, the tip of the sword spits out the sword slightly, and after a slight pause, a sword shadow is formed. He moved away again, changing one strange move after another, jumping or crouching, his movements getting faster and faster, and he could only see the sword shadow forming out of thin air behind him.
After a while, all the 1008 forms were formed, all distributed in the previous position, exactly the same as before.
Luo Yi stopped, sweating profusely, and stuck the sword in his hand on the ground. He faced Shangguan without a trace, raised his right hand into a posture of holding a sword, and the sword shadow of the four directions flew towards his hand, gradually becoming a five-color lightsaber.
He threw it forward, and the lightsaber flew towards Shangguan Wuji's chest, the sword constantly changing in the air, and the previous one hundred and eight styles kept rotating. Where the sword passed, the space distorted, cracks appeared in the ground, and the wind rose on both sides.
Shangguan Wuxian saw that the sword was menacing, but he had no fear, and when he got closer, he closed his eyes. The people outside the valley were first frightened, then worried, and finally they were actually afraid of that sword, and if they were themselves, what kind of state of mind would they be!
The sword pierced through Shangguan Wuji's chest and then from his back, everything was in an instant, but people felt that this scene was so long. Shangguan Wuxian became ethereal, and finally became translucent.
The sword stopped flying a meter or two away from his body, froze in the air, and suddenly turned into fluorescent light and dissipated in the air, and the same was true of Shangguan Wuxi.
Luo Yi sat on the ground in prostration, panting for breath and revealing a faint smile.
