Chapter 10: The Meaning of Battle
A flick of the finger is twenty moments, a moment is twenty thoughts, and one thought is twenty breaths.
And one breath is sixty moments.
Now, in this short moment, the short knife flashing with golden-purple light cut through the defenses, and it was completely different from the last time, it easily broke through the spirit body of the law phase giant, and fell straight in front of Gao Chuan, only to see the aura vibrate the blade, turn into strength, condense the fierce wind, and cut the flesh and blood with the sword light!
"Hmph—"
Caught off guard, because his attention was completely attracted by Cang Shaobai himself, who could move instantly, so this attack on Gao Chuan was undoubtedly successful, only to see a flash of purple light, blood gushing out of his right shoulder, and his arm collapsed to the side, Gao Chuan didn't have time to stop the short knife that quickly retreated after achieving results, so he could only frown, raised his left hand and pressed it on his right shoulder, expelling the foreign spiritual power in his body and healing the wound.
This time, if he hadn't turned his head sideways in the nick of time, it would have been cut off not his shoulder, but his head.
"Come to think of it, this is the first time I've been slashed by a blade. ”
With a self-deprecating sentence, Gao Chuan raised his left hand and pointed forward, and the huge spiritual power giant made the same action at the same time, and suddenly the violent fluctuations swept around, and one after another shock waves bombarded the place where Cang Shaobai was originally located, and the earth collapsed, and the ice and snow mixed with dust splashed up, raising a huge dust mist.
But when the dust and mist fell, there was no figure of Cang Shaobai.
"Sure enough, this ordinary attack couldn't be hit. ”
Thinking about it, Gao Chuan did not rashly shake the atmospheric space again and force the latent white-haired cultivator out, although he could use such a technique many times with his spiritual power reserves, but the momentary pause at the end of the shock might give Cang Shaobai a chance to attack, and he seemed to be able to easily break through the defense of the magic body, if the air attack was exposed......
As before, just a little carelessness would result in the flesh and bones being severed by the sharp blades, though the injuries were nothing to him. But it can also make him temporarily lose the combat power of his right hand.
Even if it is comparable to the physical fitness of a demon beast, it is just as fragile in front of the short knife that can be called a fine in the magic weapon - it can move with teleportation, and the sword light can tear through space, although the spiritual power cannot be released. But just such a spiritual skill is powerful enough.
This is a completely different type of attack from those demon beasts and demons and cultivators encountered in the past, this guy Cang Shaobai is not so much a cultivator. It's better to say that it is a martial artist with the power of a cultivator, and his attack is simple, but unexpectedly powerful.
Unlike Yun Xiaochen, who was restrained by Gao Chuan, this white-haired and red-eyed man was the nemesis of all those who did not have defensive magic weapons.
"The stand-in you said earlier ......"
Urging the law phase, Gao Chuan raised a translucent barrier, although these things did not have much defensive power, but they were in touch with him and could give him time to react. Now that Cang Shaobai is gone, he doesn't know where the next attack will come from. However, even if it is a teleportation, there will be subtle fluctuations in spiritual power before that, as long as he detects this omen, he can react and resist.
After getting ready, he continued to ask suspiciously towards the empty void, "Is that the reason why you can't release your spiritual power out, but you can manipulate the sword in the air?"
The so-called Imperial Weapon Technique is not uncommon, but if a person is unable to exert spiritual power, then it is absolutely impossible to do so.
"That's right. But compared to that. I'm more interested in the fact that you've been stabbed in me, but your arm hasn't been broken. ”
Simply admitted, Cang Shaobai's voice came from all directions, and Gao Chuan couldn't tell his direction through this. Even because of the spiritual power contained in this voice, people's senses will be affected, resulting in confusion, "My twin swords...... They are far beyond mortal swords, and as the best of the magic weapons, they are divine weapons that can be upgraded to magic weapons. Even if it doesn't stimulate spiritual power. With their sharpness alone, they can also hit the demon's carapace bones in two pieces at a time, but when I hit your body before, I had a feeling of condensation that I hadn't felt in a long time......"
His voice paused slightly, and he seemed to be sighing, "Even if there is a law phase as a medium to resist, it is impossible to do this, the strength of this body is too strong...... Are you really human?"
Not only that, but there were also some words that were not spoken, this attack seemed to be effective, but in fact it was far from Cang Shaobai's estimate.
Although he couldn't use the spatial rift due to the problem of charging time, the blow he urged the spiritual power of half of his body only cut off the bones and flesh of his shoulder, and he couldn't even cut off his arm, as an attacker, he was shocked more than the injured Gao Chuan.
The Cang family is a family of one son, and the heir needs to stand out from many brothers and sisters, distinguish between high and low in battle, and prove that his bloodline is the best and most powerful - so compared to other cultivators, Cang Shaobai's combat experience is extremely rich, although his attack is very simple and direct, only unpretentious sword light and splitting air slash, but he uses this simple power to defeat countless strong enemies and demon beasts, proving his strength.
Flowing in his vein, is the invincible concept of 'segmentation', under the urging of this power, his double knife is all cut, cutting is continuous, with the family tradition of the 'Open Domain Splitting Yu Zheng Shen Heart Method', under the condensation of the mind, even the space must be cut, and even ...... With his gift, even the existence of the self can be 'split in two'.
The stand-in is the half of Cang Shaobai's body, which is the division of his existence...... No, both of them are 'him', but one can be seen by others, and the other can only be perceived by himself, it is a real nothingness, it cannot be touched, and it cannot be attacked, if it weren't for the double knives being Cang Shaobai's natal magic weapon, it already belongs to a part of his existence, and the stand-in can't use them.
The body and the stand-in can teleport and exchange positions with each other, forming a teleportation phenomenon, through this, Cang Shaobai can easily make all kinds of surprise attacks, even if there is no long-range attack method except for tearing the space, he is not afraid of any enemy at all who cannot release the spell, and the attacks carried out by the two are staggered, which can make all those who despise him taste the bitterness.
But, this guy in front of you......
"My attributes are impact and light...... In the enveloping range of my spiritual power, most of the impact will be spontaneously canceled - no matter how sharp the blade is, it is impossible to cut anything without force, and the same is true for spiritual power, even if my law is cut, the nature of spiritual power will not change. ”
Squinted his eyes, as if he saw Cang Shaobai's doubts. Gao Chuan casually explained, and as he spoke, he vaguely felt that a strange wave was moving back and forth around him, and the speed was extremely fast. Even the Divine Consciousness Spirit would be difficult to keep up with, and if it weren't for the translucent barrier he had laid before, which could sensitively sense the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power, he wouldn't have been able to detect it.
This should be a precursor to an attack.
"I see...... It's a pity that even if you know it, you can't deal with it, and it seems that only the trick of cutting through the space can cause you fatal damage. ”
A solemn voice came from the void. After accumulating strength for a long time, the long and short double knives named Zhengge and the Bundle Blade appeared out of thin air, cutting through the waves of fluctuations, tearing the space apart, and a huge cross-shaped spatial rift appeared in front of Gao Chuan's eyes out of thin air, as if it was going to be cut into four sections in the next moment.
"Just in time!"
Secretly said in his heart, Gao Chuan's eyes lit up, and the violent spiritual power impact erupted from within the Fa Xiang, and a terrifying roar exploded in this moment. The huge amount of spiritual power that was enough to blast over the mountain turned into an impact and poured into this spatial rift!
In his Fa Phase, all phenomena related to physics, spiritual power, and spirit will be controlled by him, even if this control is still very superficial, and there is no good way to deal with it in the face of spatial rifts, but at least he can do such a thing.
Through this space-time gap that has been opened up, this violent spiritual power impact will be sent to the opposite side!
The cutting of this spatial rift, even Gao Chuan's ** could not bear it, but in order to aim at the target, he really blasted out his spiritual power. He took half a slash before he began to dodge and retreat, using his spiritual power to dissolve the dark gap.
But in just half a stroke, his legs were neatly cut from his knees, and bright red blood surged. There was a blue-blue spiritual power that continued to rise from it, turning into clouds.
"This blow is really sharp, there is no way to resist it at all, no matter how tough ** is, it is as if it does not exist under the cutting of the spatial rift. ”
Gao Chuan sighed, and then used his spiritual power to control the broken legs and slowly returned to their original places. I saw countless tiny granulations grow and spread, completely linking the sections, and in an instant, except for blood stains and faintly visible incisions, his legs returned to their original state.
At the same time, in the mid-air not far away, a cyan blue flash of light burst out violently, shooting straight towards the clouds, knocking out a hole in the distant clouds, and there was a figure like a stone, falling straight from the sky, and only turned a few times when it was about to land, using spiritual power to reduce the impact, and standing on the ground with some staggering.
"I've forgotten that the strongest attack is the most vulnerable......"
There was a fire burning in his eyes, even if he was hit hard by a sudden attack, Cang Shaobai was excited, "I really didn't expect that your reaction speed was so fast and you could do so many things in an instant...... Ahem!"
Spit out a mouthful of bright red blood, and purple aura escaped from it, turning into flying smoke,
"It's time for it to end. ”
The injury in his right shoulder has also improved by half, and he moved the legs that he had just connected, but Gao Chuan was like persuading, "I already have a general understanding of your strength, and it is indeed not weak, but it is only because you don't understand my attributes that you will lose a move because of an accident...... You are not lightly injured now, and if you continue to fight, you will not be able to participate in the sect competition the day after tomorrow. ”
"What is that...... A strong man like you is right in front of me, how can I give up my roots?!"
muttered in a low voice, but the white-haired and red-eyed cultivator pursed the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly hideous smile, and said, "My Cang Shaobai has no brothers and sisters, only two swords as companions...... My knives are limbs that I have forged for myself with my own hands, they are my arms, they are part of my being. ”
"They're saying to me -- I haven't used my full strength, and you haven't used my full strength. ”
"If we don't even use all our strength, how can we distinguish between high and low results like this? How can we prove who is strong and who is weak on both sides? In this case, the meaning of the battle will not be achieved in the near future?"
Explaining the reason and Tao of his own battle, Cang Shaobai and Gao Chuan looked at each other and said, "Let's shoot!"
“...... I see, what you say seems to me to be hypocritical. ”
Nodding slightly, Gao Chuan understood the determination of the person in front of him, and he said slowly, "Since this is the case, then I will use pure strength to defeat you in a dignified manner...... However, I have a question that I want to ask from the moment you draw your sword. ”
A phantus of the past appeared in his mind, and he looked directly into Cang Shaobai's eyes and asked, "On your knife, there is a breath that is very familiar. I once had a sword that accompanied me through many battles, and it had the same aura as yours. ”
As if deliberately giving the other party time to rest, Gao Chuan told the story of encountering a beast in the woods of the West Mountain, rescuing the Wei family and receiving a sword.
"You saved Grandpa and their family...... The waves separated from the clouds, and it turned out to be the sword from the clouds...... It was the first weapon I forged, and it was meant to make up for my lack of ranged attacks. In the end, I still couldn't activate its spirit pattern, so I had to regret leaving it in my mother's hometown...... Ha, that's great. ”
With a laugh, Cang Shaobai coughed up the remaining blood in his throat, stood up straight, and after taking a deep breath, the momentum in his body climbed up and temporarily returned to his peak state - at the same time, the short knife in his right hand rose out of thin air, as if he was being clenched. Now, he and the stand-in each held a knife, the blue-purple spiritual power condensed on the blades of the double knives, the spirit pattern was activated, and invisible fluctuations came out, tearing the space apart, and the ethereal spiritual fluctuations completely locked Gao Chuan, and even transformed into the shape of two knives, as if he was about to cut off his head.
A moment before the attack, the white-haired cultivator smiled at Gao Chuan and said, "Liyun's destination is a strong man like you, it will definitely be happy." ”
Then, the twin knives that gathered all his spiritual power slashed down in the air.
"--A Thousand Blades Prison!"
At this moment, in Gao Chuan's eyes, the drifting snow mist, the blowing cold wind, and the entire heaven and earth disappeared, leaving only the two sharp blades to exist in the blank world.
"Click. ”
With this clear sound, countless spatial cracks appeared out of thin air beside Gao Chuan's Faxiang, they connected to each other, turned into a cage, and quickly tightened towards him.
"Okay! This trick is powerful! But the form of the real self!"
Without the slightest fear, there was a light of excitement in his eyes, and at the sound of Gao Chuan's order, the blue-blue giant made the same movement as his own body - his fists were clenched, the light converged, and his will and spiritual power condensed here and turned into fluctuations and impacts, and the wind danced wildly, rolling the atmospheric space out of the Dao Dao depression.
"The Fist of the Whole Spirit!" (To be continued.) )
