Volume 2 That World Chapter 90: Transcendence!
Su Jingqiu looked at Qi Ji with fighting spirit in his eyes and said with a smile: "Since you are here, shall we start right away?"
Qi Ji was so stimulated by the other party's momentum that his blood couldn't help but boil.
"Okay! Let's start now!"
He happily left the court, walked to three meters in front of Su Jingqiu and asked with a smile: "How do you fight?"
Su Jingqiu glanced at Yuan Weizong next to him and said confidently: "I have invited Elder Yuan here, so of course it will be a real sword duel, a fight to the death!"
After saying that, she suddenly drew out the long sword from her back.
Qi Ji looked carefully and found that this sword was not the common sword that Su Jingqiu had always used, but a precious sword with a bright divine light.
The entire sword exudes a pale blue glow, and the hilt and guard are made from the claw bones of some unknown creature. Obviously, this is a magical weapon with a sword body made of hard gold and supplemented with extraordinary biological materials.
"This is the extraordinary weapon that Jian Ge prepared for me. It's a two-handed sword. After I become extraordinary, it will be a great helper in cutting iron like mud." Su Jingqiu said softly: "Although I am only one step away from becoming extraordinary now and have not yet fully exerted the power of this sword, it is still a bit of an advantage to use it to duel with you."
Qi Ji nodded slightly, and also picked up his sheathed single sword from his waist, and said with a smile: "It's okay, without considering the blessing of Qi, there is no obvious difference between my single sword and your sword."
The two exchanged a few words briefly, then stepped away, about ten meters apart from each other.
Yuan Weizong stepped forward at the right time and waved his hands vigorously to signal all the onlookers to move away and make room for the venue. Then he said loudly to Qi Ji and Su Jingqiu: "Although I will be watching over you during the sparring within the sect, I hope you will not get too aggressive and try not to attack the opponent's vital parts with a high lethality rate. Do you understand?"
Both of them nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Su Jingqiu assumed the starting stance of the Tide Sword and said loudly, "This battle will be my last before I become a transcendent. Allow me to seriously beg you to fight me with all your strength and the determination to kill me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jingqiu's momentum suddenly rose, and the whole person was like a bright moon on the sea, with a clear sword heart. The next moment, the bright moon was covered by the sudden surge , and the violent waves seemed to be roaring towards Qi Ji in the next second.
Qi Ji smiled faintly, drew his sword from its sheath with his right hand, stood tall, and responded in the same loud voice: "In that case, please take a good look at my full strength, Senior Sister!"
Facing Su Jingqiu's overwhelming momentum that was like a huge wave from a sea disaster, Qi Ji's aura became even more restrained.
Su Jingqiu remained unmoved. She knew that Qi Ji's next outburst would be earth-shattering.
Sure enough, it was just as she expected.
Qi Ji was seen pressing down his body, pulling back his right hand holding the knife, and making an obvious posture of accumulating power for a thrust.
"Watch carefully, my next attack will be a stab." Qi Ji directly told the other party his purpose.
Since you've already requested it, I'll show you my strongest form!
The next second, his eyes flashed, and the spiritual light that had gradually cultivated and grown deep between his eyebrows suddenly exploded.
The whites of the eyes become completely bloodshot and red, and the exposed skin can be seen bulging due to nerves.
Conquer the demon!
The image of an endless sea of blood rushed towards everyone around.
A huge sense of horror filled the hearts of everyone present.
Qi Ji's smiling expression just now disappeared, and turned into absolute calmness.
Then he pushed off the ground hard, and in an instant he disappeared from the sight of most people at the scene!
Kui Ren thrusts!
The next moment, he appeared in front of Su Jingqiu in a sliding posture, and the tip of the knife in his hand silently reached her abdomen.
It’s too fast!
Su Jingqiu looked solemn. Facing Qi Ji's rapid downward stab, he swung his sword with all his strength to block the attack.
The next second, the muscles in her arms bulged, her waist and legs exerted force at the same time, the strength in her body overlapped like clouds and surged like waves, and the long sword in her hand slashed out with unparalleled power!
Tide Sword——Clouds rush and tide surges!
Qi Ji gave up on the subsequent changing moves of Kui Ninja's assassination, raised his sword and made an Ashina-ryu blocking stance similar to the Niu style, steadily blocking Su Jingqiu's full-strength slash.
It can be felt that Su Jingqiu is extremely powerful. With the special fixed pattern of Chao Sword, the attack power he launches is close to half of Qi Ji's.
That’s right, only half!
Qi Ji's power was fully unleashed under the blessing of demon subjugation and transcendence, and the output was close to two tons.
Su Jingqiu does not possess the terrifying "True Devil Blood" like Nie Ming. Although she is talented, her body is essentially that of an ordinary person. After taking the Blood Bodhi, her physical fitness has been improved to the limit of ordinary people, and her strength has only been increased to about 300 kilograms, which is similar to Qi Ji's basic level. By using the explosive move of the Tide Sword, her instantaneous output will reach nearly one ton.
This is probably the limit of ordinary human beings.
Obviously, such a power gap makes it difficult to break through Qi Ji's block.
After Qi Ji steadily took on Su Jingqiu's attack, he easily removed the opponent's surging power with the "flowing water" technique of the Ashina School. The next second, he shook his sword alone, deflecting Su Jingqiu's sword and emitting a strange shock force, which was transmitted along the weapons of both sides to Su Jingqiu's hand.
It is the anti-shock technique of Ashina-ryu's "Dengli".
Su Jingqiu's hands shook violently, the long sword was suddenly swung away, and his body paused.
Qi Ji, who was in the demon-subduing state, had a blank expression on his face, and he thrust his single blade towards his opponent's throat.
After just one confrontation, Su Jingqiu, who could be described as "half a step beyond the ordinary" or "a perfect mortal", was defeated and faced defeat in the next moment!
Of course, there is no such old-fashioned term as "half step" or "great perfection" in this story.
Simply put, Su Jingqiu, who had already reached the limit but still controlled himself and did not absorb Qi to enter the extraordinary state, was killed instantly by Qi Ji at first sight.
In a critical moment, the sharp tip of Qi Ji's sword stopped steadily at Su Jingqiu's throat.
He released the demon-subduing state, which was only activated for less than a second, causing his mental damage to be almost zero.
He said calmly: "The difference between our physical bodies is too big, you are at a disadvantage."
Then he took two steps back and said softly, "Promote yourself and fight me with an extraordinary attitude."
Although Qi Ji in the demon-subduing state is not affected by emotions, it does not mean that he has no intelligence.
He knew clearly that the purpose of this duel was to have a thrilling duel with Su Jingqiu, so naturally he had to let Su Jingqiu fully display his strength.
Otherwise, if Su Jingqiu was defeated this time, she would definitely have to fight with me again after she became extraordinary.
Su Jingqiu stood there for a while after hearing this, then he heaved a sigh of relief, put away his sword and said softly, "I'm a little overconfident in trying to fight you with my less than extraordinary strength."
After saying that, she stood up straight and her eyes began to emit a dazzling light.
The next second, an invisible breeze began to blow, and it seemed as if some mysterious existence between heaven and earth gathered in the square in front of the temple, and quickly converged towards Su Jingqiu.
At this moment, Su Jingqiu seemed to have turned into a human-shaped black hole, and a terrifying amount of Qi was pouring into her body frantically.
Even the non-transcendent people present could sense something was wrong.
The most peculiar anomaly was that a fierce wind suddenly blew up on the field without anyone noticing.
Her clothes fluttered, and her aura rose rapidly as the Qi between heaven and earth continued to flow into her body!
After a moment, her rapidly rising momentum suddenly converged and all returned to herself.
Su Jingqiu felt the surging power in her body, raised her head and looked at Qi Ji. Her entire temperament at this moment was greatly different from before.
Her voice was as clear as flowing spring water, carrying some inexplicable mysterious charm.
"Sorry for the long wait, let's officially get started now!"
