Volume 2 That World Chapter 51: Metamorphosis VS Drawing the Sword!
Dao Lian walked onto the stage and Qi Ji was looking at him with a smile.
Dao Lian smiled back and said softly, "Compassion, I am the last person in this competition of Wu Xiang Temple, Dao Lian."
Qi Ji also said politely: "I am Qi Ji from Jian Ge, please give me your guidance from now on."
"I don't deserve your advice. Since you can defeat Daoqing with force, then I must be inferior to you physically..." Daolian's expression was calm, and then he asked: "I saw that you used a burst secret method similar to my school's 'Dragon Riding' in the competition with Daoqing just now. Do you need to rest for a while?"
This guy is worthy of being a monk, so polite.
Qi Ji shook his head: "No need, I had already adjusted my breathing before you came up."
Dao Lian looked at the edgeless sword in Qi Ji's hand and said gently, "I heard that this edgeless sword is not a weapon you are good at using. My Qingyu sword technique is light and agile, swift and unpredictable, and it naturally restrains such heavy weapons. It will be a bit unfair to you. It is better to change to the sword weapon you are good at."
In just a few words, Dao Lian's mood was calm and neither hot nor cold, but Qi Ji clearly felt his confidence in winning and he did not intend to take advantage of his opponent.
I'm afraid he's not an easy one to deal with.
So Qi Ji followed suit and raised his hand to signal Yu Chengen to exchange weapons.
Yu Chengen glared at him, nodded unhappily, and spoke loudly.
"With the permission of Wuxiang Temple, Qi Ji of Jian Ge chooses to change weapons!"
Qi Ji immediately stepped down from the stage, picked up his sheathed sword and returned to the stage again.
…
In the Armor Palace.
"Look! He changed his knife!" Lu Lian immediately patted the champion Ning Bai.
Ning Bai glared at Lu Lian unhappily: "Didn't you say he was good at using a long sword?"
"Ah... this..." Lu Lian scratched his head awkwardly.
"Can you be more reliable? Palace Master Lu shouldn't have let you out." Ning Bai turned back unhappily, intending to rely on his own eyesight to confirm the so-called super genius on the field who was highly praised by Lu Lian.
On the other side, on the viewing platform of the Divine Sword Tower, Young Master Nie Ming rested his face on the table with one hand, looking relaxed and contented.
It was not until he saw Qi Ji change the sword into a knife that his eyes moved slightly and he became a little interested.
Ah Hu beside him came closer, like a mountain blocking the sun. He said excitedly: "Just now I saw this guy was able to defeat Daoqing of Wuxiang Temple with the Wufeng Sword. I thought he was actually a powerful swordsman. I didn't expect that he really used a knife!"
Nie Ming nodded, and returned to his contented expression. He tilted his head slightly and asked, "A Fei, what do you think?"
On the other side of Nie Ming, a thin, white-haired, handsome young swordsman said indifferently, "They are just chickens and dogs. Including the champion Su Jingqiu who has already reached the 'God-Entering' realm, the people of Jian Ge are no match for the young master."
It was obvious that his young master was only at the eighth level, while Su Jingqiu was already at the ninth level. Why did the expression on this young man's face look so matter-of-fact when he said this?
The Demon Exorcist Association's viewing platform.
All four members of the congregation wore black metal masks that covered the lower half of their faces.
After a while, a cold voice came from under the mask of the tallest man among them: "This Qi Ji is behaving strangely, is there a problem?"
"The feedback from the 'Secret Office' is that he is indeed from the inner realm, so he should be safe." The Ghost Face next to him replied immediately.
The tall man nodded slightly, his expression softening slightly: "People from the Inner Realm are indeed the least likely to be associated with 'them'."
"So, who exactly are they referring to when the Secret Office mentioned that 'they' will appear at this conference?" another ghost face whispered.
"In short, observe carefully, and kill on the spot once you find him!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
…
All the major forces had different reactions, some were curious, some were expectant, and some were disdainful, but all eyes were seriously cast on the two people on the stage.
Qi Ji looked at Dao Lian opposite him, gently drew out the single sword in his hand, but did not throw away the scabbard with his left hand, and smiled: "Then, shall we begin?"
Dao Lian smiled and nodded, and also drew out the light feather sword in his hand. This was a one-handed long sword about one meter and one meter long, and the blade was about two fingers wide. Although it was not sharpened, it was indeed cold and sharp, and it was intimidating.
He gently threw the scabbard back, and the disciple named Dao Xin immediately reached out to catch it and stepped back.
The two men confronted each other with weapons, and the noise from the stage and the audience gradually weakened until it disappeared.
Yu Chengen looked at the two people's conditions and simply raised his hand.
"The competition begins!"
The two men's postures did not change.
But their eyes were fixed on each other. If someone could see their bodies through their clothes, they would find that their muscles were bulging and their meridians were tangled, ready to attack and kill the enemy at any time.
Everyone present was an elite at the mortal stage. How could they not understand that this was a close battle of spirits between the two men? It seemed like there was no movement, but it was the most draining of people's will and spirit.
Ten seconds later, Qi Ji grinned, stepped lightly, and rushed out in an instant. The distance between the two sides, which was less than ten meters, was crossed in half a second due to his terrifying speed.
In just a moment, Qi Ji's sword arrived in front of Dao Lian!
So fast!
The eyes of the spectators from all major forces narrowed.
Qi Ji, who was only using a light sword, was incredibly fast. Several eighth-level masters were wondering whether they could withstand such an attack.
Many people had cold sweat on their foreheads.
Dao Lian faced this extreme speed personally, and a flash of inspiration in his instinct gave him a crazy warning. His body, which had been trained and adapted for a long time, reacted in an instant faster than his thinking.
Raise your hand and sword!
The long sword instantly clashed with the single sword.
Dao Lian then subconsciously took the Lingxu step corresponding to the Qingyu Sword Technique, and instantly flashed to the right side of Qi Ji. Then he moved his wrist continuously, and suddenly stabbed out three swords, aiming directly at Qi Ji's shoulders and heart.
Qingyu Sword Technique—three unique skills in one sword!
Qi Ji's dynamic vision, enhanced by his transcendence, was amazing. Facing the opponent's three rapid stabs, he wasn't panicked at all, and he didn't even need to rely on his sixth sense to dodge.
He simply swung out three swords in sync with Dao Lian at the same or even faster speed, and each sword accurately hit the opponent's sword.
clang clang clang!
The short and sharp sound of metal collision scraped the eardrums of the audience.
People with poor eyesight could only see Qi Ji and Dao Lian changing positions continuously in a short moment, followed by several flashes of cold light colliding back and forth.
The swords swung away from each other, Qi Ji and Dao Lian took a step back at the same time, then stepped forward again, slashing at each other with high-speed combos like a storm!
Qi Ji's slashing was like a strong wind, and Dao Lian's assassination was like a heavy rain!
To others, it looked like a large, chaotic white light suddenly appeared between the two of them.
This is the metallic light reflected by the high-speed clashing swords in the sun.
Clang! The light paused!
The high-speed attack lasted less than three seconds before it ended.
It turned out that Dao Lian saw that his strength and speed were inferior to Qi Ji's, and that continued sword fighting was becoming increasingly disadvantageous to him, so he took the initiative to strike out with a heavy sword, and at the same time, he took special steps and retreated three meters away in an instant.
Qi Ji took a deep breath and recovered from his fatigue in an instant. He looked at Dao Lian who had retreated and asked calmly, "Is the test over?"
Dao Lian smiled bitterly and said softly: "You thought it was a test, but what I did just now was the result of my best efforts."
"So?" Qi Ji tilted his head slightly. No one would believe that this guy had no trump card.
“So…” Dao Lian took a deep breath, his eyes shone, and his voice carried a wonderful charm: “Next, it’s a desperate move!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly became ethereal and his pupils became empty and hazy.
"This is the core secret of the Light Feather Sword Technique, called 'Feather Transformation'. Please appreciate it."
When he spoke again, Dao Lian's voice had become ethereal and vague, as if possessed by an immortal.
He held the sword behind his back and made a Taoist gesture with his left hand in front of his chest.
The next second, Dao Lian tapped the ground lightly.
Suddenly disappeared from the spot!
Qi Ji's eyes suddenly widened, and his sixth sense gave him a crazy warning at this moment!
The method of nourishing the meridians, start!
At that moment, Qi Ji saw a flash of cold light before his eyes.
Too fast!
It was so fast that Qi Ji even felt that his meridian nourishing method had not yet begun to take effect, but Dao Lian's sword tip had already reached his chest!
Tornado flash!
In desperation, Qi Ji's steps crossed at high speed, and his body suddenly turned sideways at the limit. The opponent's bladeless but threatening sword scratched his chest, leaving a long bloody mark.
Qi Ji himself also completed the effect of the meridian nourishing method in the process of being driven by the tornado flash. The tornado flash accelerated again in the middle and instantly brought Qi Ji to Dao Lian's side.
Then at this moment, the single sword also relied on centrifugal force to chop out with the backhand at a speed far beyond the normal speed .
But Dao Lian seemed to have never thought that this move of his could hit Qi Ji. He pushed off the ground and changed his position the moment he launched the attack!
In just a few seconds, the two of them moved around in a small space nearly ten times.
Due to the high speed, the movement frequency is too high.
As they moved, they seemed to turn into a trail of afterimages, and at the moment when the swords intersected, there would be an extremely brief freeze frame.
Viewers with poor eyesight even felt that the fight between the two was as if the video was skipping frames.
Dao Lian's posture was ethereal and he was as swift as a fairy, but he knew in his heart that his "feathering" state was extremely physically demanding and wore out his joints, and was even more difficult to sustain than Dao Qing's "riding a dragon" state.
Since Qi Ji was able to block it now, it basically meant that he was already defeated, unless he could...
Dao Lian thought and did it. He suddenly stepped back and made a special gesture!
Opposite him, Qi Ji seemed to sense something the moment he stepped back, and he sheathed his sword instantly, holding the hilt tightly with his right hand!
On the side of the group of heroes below the stage, Iwamoto Kiyomi had already taken off his blindfold when Qi Ji and Dao Lian met. Now, seeing Qi Ji sheathing his sword, the pupils of his cat-like eyes suddenly shrank like needles!
" It's coming!" he whispered.
What's coming? The three teammates closest to him reacted immediately and fixed their eyes on Qi Ji who had received the sheath.
That sword-drawing technique.
It’s coming!
