Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 18: Level 4, Desperate Situation
When Breathing of the Sun is upgraded to the maximum level, it brings more enhancements than just a transparent world.
First of all, the speed of body refining that comes with "Changzhong" has been doubled.
Then there is "Stripes". Based on Qi Ji's current feedback from this skill, it seems that the burden on the body has been further reduced.
So after using it, will you die on the spot?
Qi Ji frowned and thought.
He did activate the Mark during his duel with Isshin in the tower, and he did not die on the spot, but firstly, the Mark state was not used for a long time, and secondly, the Tower of Transcendence directly healed him to full health after the battle.
It is difficult to arbitrarily judge that he can also open the stripes in reality.
Put the stripes aside for now.
The maximum level of Sun Breathing also brought him a huge improvement in his ultimate moves.
He learned the final sword form of Sun Breathing - Form Thirteen.
A combo technique that combines the characteristics of all twelve types of Sun Breathing moves.
In the blink of an eye, he launched twelve attacks in succession, and each move combined the characteristics of the other moves.
The difficulty of catching Huanrihong's body movements, the unpredictable blade of Feilun Yangyan, the unexpected turn of Xieyang, the scorching flames of Huihui Enguang, the rapid flow of Halo Dragon...
It can be said to be a high-level version of Nine-Headed Dragon Flash with special effects.
As Qi Ji moved forward, he carefully comprehended the newly acquired powerful skills, and from time to time he drew out the single sword at his waist to slash in the air to adapt.
The three companions on horseback had long disappeared.
In fact, he can now move much faster than a horse when he is in a burst.
But the reason why the burst speed is burst is because that speed cannot be sustained. Moreover, his purpose is not to run fast, but to stay and block the enemy.
At this point, his goal would soon be achieved.
…
A few minutes later.
As a violent sound of wind breaking through the air was heard, a figure appeared in front of Qi Ji.
He was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with gorgeous decorations, with brown hair and blue eyes, and a calm and sacred face.
A layer of transparent armor appeared on the surface of his body. The armor did not look solid or gorgeous, but one could roughly tell it was in the shape of a piece of armor.
Qi Ji immediately reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife, took a step back slightly, his eyes filled with unwillingness and panic.
"You are the only one here, and this aura is only at the first level, so you are a discarded pawn?" Bishop Charlie asked in a low, indifferent voice.
While questioning, he slowly drew out the cross sword from his waist and placed it in front of his chest.
The next second, before Qi Ji could answer, his figure disappeared instantly, with a cross sword raised in both hands, and he appeared in front of Qi Ji in an instant.
'No matter whether this first-level kid is a discarded pawn or not, I can just beat him up first, and then torture him to find out the whereabouts of the witch...' Charlie thought.
Qi Ji's panicked expression was clearly visible in Charlie's eyes, and he seemed unable to react to his attack.
However, although Qi Ji's facial expression was filled with panic, his heart was as calm as a pool of water.
Facing Charlie's indifferent expression, as if he was about to pinch a bug.
There was a hint of smile hidden deep in his eyes.
The fish finally took the bait!
Ever since he acquired the skill branch called "Changzhong", Qi Ji's body has always been filled with abundant oxygen.
At this moment, facing the enemy's attack, the Sun Breathing that he had been suppressing violently activated, and the oxygen stored in his body immediately acted on various parts of his body, instantly increasing his body functions to the maximum.
At the same time, a flash of inspiration exploded in his mind, and the demon-subduing state was activated.
At this moment, his physical functions and mental state were stretched to the limit.
Not only that, in his sight, the whole world is clear!
The middle-aged man dressed as a clergyman opposite him seemed to be divided into different parts in Qi Ji's eyes.
Skin, muscles, blood vessels, bones, organs, brain...
It was the ability that Qi Ji had just acquired—"The Transparent World".
Qi Ji held the scabbard in his left hand and the handle in his right hand, and at the moment the two men fought, he drew the sword out of the sheath!
Everything seemed to freeze at this moment.
A magic sword!
The blade light, wrapped in a vision of fire, meandered through this stagnant world like lightning, and was about to cut Charlie in half!
At this moment, Charlie's cross sword had just been swung out, but the expression on his face had changed from indifference to shock.
The moment the blade hit the body, the illusory armor on Charlie's body that seemed to be there and not there burst out with a ray of light. Qi Ji's blade slashed on the illusory armor and immediately encountered a noticeable blockage.
It was this momentary delay that allowed Charlie to react.
The target of his cross sword was adjusted from Qi Ji's body to the single sword that chopped down on Qi Ji. At the same time, he quickly retreated half a step.
clang!
Bang!
The loud sound of swords clashing and the sound of blades cutting through flesh sounded almost simultaneously.
Although the sword's path was cut off by Charlie's cross sword, Qi Ji's blade still broke through the defense of the extraordinary armor and cut a huge gash on Charlie's waist.
If Charlie had not stepped back half a step in time, he would have been cut in half and killed.
Charlie jumped back and quickly retreated ten meters away, his face ashen.
He gritted his teeth and said, "He is clearly a first-class, low-ranking knight, but he was able to possess such speed and cut through my "magic armor" and hurt me. Has the forbidden "magic" technique been able to achieve such a degree..."
Although the wound on his waist was hideous, strangely no blood flowed out. The crack was completely sealed by his illusory armor, which had almost no effect on his combat effectiveness.
Qi Ji did not pursue. In the previous round of fighting, he could already feel that there was still a gap in strength between himself and his opponent.
The main difference is power.
After activating Demon Subjugation and Sun Breathing, his strength had reached twelve tons, but his opponent's long sword easily deflected his attack route.
This brief fight made Qi Ji realize that the opponent's strength was at least 40% higher than his own, reaching the level of seventeen to eighteen tons.
When he had fought with Lord Frye and White Eagle before, he had estimated that the strength of a third-level master from the Outer Realm was about six to ten tons.
That's why Qi Ji was able to easily defeat the opponent by using his explosive strength that was several times higher than that of a third-level master , combined with many wonderful moves.
But now he faced his first fourth-level enemy.
Judging from the strength of the fourth-level masters he had seen in his memory, such as Yu Chengen, Gu Chong'an and Yuan Weizong, it seemed that this clergyman's fourth level was still in a very preliminary stage.
His extraordinary armor cannot be compared with Yu Chengen's armor, which is as real as a real thing and extremely gorgeous and complex.
Even compared with a weaker fortune teller like Yuan Weizong, it seems particularly crude.
But even so, the opponent's overall strength is still stronger than his.
It was so strong that even if he pretended to be a pig and tried to eat the tiger, and successfully launched a sneak attack, he still couldn't kill it.
This is an enemy that must be treated with extreme caution.
Qi Ji, who had entered the demon-subduing state, was not affected by his personal emotions and his mentality was impeccable.
He naturally wouldn't attack rashly.
Qi Ji had a blank expression on his face and did not answer Charlie's question.
He just silently assumed a standing bull posture.
Making the opponent unaware of the full extent of your strength and fearful of it is a very basic psychological confrontation technique.
Charlie's probing words received no response, and his expression, which had been pretending to be angry and reckless, slowly turned into calm and gloomy.
He said no more words, holding the cross sword in both hands, and the illusory armor on his body glowed.
The next second, he pushed off the ground and rushed forward, and his figure seemed to disappear on the spot.
In fact, if an ordinary person were to watch the explosive speed of a fourth-order master, what he would see would indeed be like teleportation.
The lowest level super masters like Charlie, who has just entered the fourth level, can reach a burst speed of nearly two hundred meters per second. Judging from the dynamic vision of an ordinary person with 24 frames per second, a speed of two hundred meters per second can be achieved in an instant within a distance of ten meters.
In other words, from the perspective of ordinary people, the actual situation of a super master who runs 200 meters per second is that during this second, from the starting point to the end point, an afterimage of the master appears every eight to ten meters.
If this isn't teleportation, then what is it?
In an instant, the two collided with each other.
The sound caused by the high-speed collision of the swords was so fast that it was almost like a stretched-out buzzing sound with varying pitches.
Amidst this huge metallic humming sound, there was also the sharp sound of two sharp blades cutting through the air.
The air turbulence caused by the high-speed swinging of the sword was like a violent wind, causing the branches and leaves of the forest to tremble wildly.
The two attacked and defended more than a hundred times in a few seconds.
The next moment, as the intensity of their attack and defense escalated, it was no longer just a simple sword fight.
Charlie saw that he had the advantage in strength but was unable to break through Qi Ji's defense, so he began to coordinate his steps and started to attack Qi Ji from more dimensions in a mobile warfare manner.
As soon as the two of them moved, the forest was immediately in trouble.
The loud noise, like a cannonball plowing the ground, shook the earth.
In a short period of time, as the two men attacked and chopped, many thick trees were cut down by their sharp blades.
They didn't mean to cut down these big trees.
It was because the forest was too dense . When the two men were moving and attacking at high speed, they had no time to take into account these "obstacles". They simply cut through them naturally, or used them as leverage and stepped on them hard.
The terrifying blade and terrible force became the most efficient means of destruction.
In just a few seconds, with two super masters with speeds of 100 meters at their disposal, the battlefield immediately moved away from its original location and moved more than 100 meters away.
Soon after, the combat range was expanded to one kilometer in radius.
The battle was so massive that even Melina and her companions who had escaped several kilometers away, as well as the Knights of the Church who were chasing in another direction, were dumbfounded.
Everyone on both sides knew that their strongest fighters had already encountered the enemy.
The battle lasted for more than a minute.
Although he had not shown any signs of defeat at this moment, Qi Ji was already facing a desperate situation of life and death.
His time to subdue the demon is running out!
