Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 20: The Ultimate Level, Black Swordsman
late at night.
Inside the cave, Qi Ji lit a bonfire.
Above the campfire, there was a simple grill made of a few branches, and on the grill was a huge bird leg.
This was the leg of an ostrich-like creature that Qi Ji had randomly hunted in the forest after he had recovered a little strength. It was his dinner.
After killing the fourth-level priest, Qi Ji was at his weakest. Fortunately, he did not encounter any enemies or ferocious beasts or monsters that could threaten his life.
Then, with the recovery ability bonus granted by his meridian nourishing method and transcendence, his physical strength recovered to about 70% within a few hours.
He is now in a low mental state and his physical strength has not fully recovered.
Naturally, no burst techniques can be used.
The overall combat capability of the person is roughly on par with that of an ordinary second-order transcendent. If he is not too unlucky, self-protection will not be a problem.
The reason why his condition recovered so "slowly" this time was mainly because he activated "Formless" and "Stripes" at the same time during the battle.
The stripes allowed his body functions to break through the limits once again, and the formlessness allowed him to instantly unleash the maximum power of this body that had broken through the limits.
This also resulted in his entire body falling into an unprecedented state of exhaustion after his many states of being restrained.
Speaking of stripes, Qi Ji couldn't help but smile slightly.
I can only say that thanks to the demon-subduing state, I am absolutely rational in this state, and I don't worry about the cost of "whether I will die at the age of 25 after the markings appear" like normal situations.
Even though his body and subconscious mind have told him that his physique is far superior to that of ordinary people and the markings will not cause his death, it is a matter of life and death after all, and it is difficult for him to deal with it without being emotional.
Now he doesn't need to make a decision based on his emotions, as the demon-slayer brother can help him get rid of the entanglement.
And the facts have proved that after using the stripes, he is still alive and well.
Although it puts a heavy burden on the body, it does provide an additional reliable trump card.
Now, it is no longer suitable to go out and cause trouble. What Qi Ji needs is to keep a low profile and wait until his condition returns to his peak.
After a while, Qi Ji hastily ate the casually roasted bird legs, leaned against the campfire deep in the cave, and fell asleep.

Since the Secret Record of Rebirth was stuck in front of an insanely powerful person again, Qi Ji could only try a new level to see if there would be a chance to steal another level.
The result was the ultimate level.
As the scene changed, Qi Ji appeared in a wasteland.
He immediately summoned out the titanium alloy plate armor. The armor on his left hand was discarded because the sword bag could no longer hold it, and now he used the wolf shield.
The weapon is naturally the wolf sword that comes with the wolf shield.
Then he looked up and saw a tall man standing a few meters away, looking at him silently.
The man had a resolute face and a tuft of hair in his short black hair had turned pale.
He was wearing a black, ferocious-looking metal full-body armor, and on his back was a huge sword that was over two meters long and as wide as a door panel.
The only parts of the body not covered by armor are the head and hands.
If you look closely, you can see that his left hand is still a metal prosthesis.
This is a black swordsman.
The black swordsman looked at Qi Ji quietly, and remained unmoved even when he saw the strange way Qi Ji summoned weapons and armor.
"You have the ability to conjure up armor and weapons out of thin air. Are you a magician? Or are you an apostle?"
A deep, tenacious voice came out of his mouth.
Then he immediately denied his guess: "No, the "brand" has no reaction. You are neither an evil spirit nor an apostle."
Qi Ji was silent for a moment, raised the shield with his left hand, and held the wolf sword behind his shoulder with his right hand.
Seeing this, the black swordsman silently drew out the huge sword behind him.
Qi Ji's eyes narrowed slightly.
If you say it is a sword, it is a little too huge... It is wide and heavy, just like a block of iron.
If it was made of steel, it would probably weigh at least two hundred kilograms.
The black swordsman's hands were shaking slightly, as if he couldn't hold the giant sword.
Then he was silent for two seconds and sighed softly.
The next moment, in Qi Ji's eyes, the black swordsman's arms that were exposed and not covered by armor slowly emerged with a black, mud-like substance, and then condensed into a pair of arm armors that matched the body armor.
After being covered by the arm armor, the black swordsman, who could hardly hold the terrifying giant sword with both hands, raised the giant sword with one hand and pointed it at Qi Ji.
"Come on." He declared softly.
Bang!
Following this declaration of war, the two silent men suddenly stepped forward, and a handful of mud exploded under their feet at the same time. Their figures disappeared from the spot in an instant, and then reappeared in front of each other, and the two swords collided with each other.
The heavy weapons combined with the heavy force caused the compressed and vibrating air to explode, blowing the dry grass on the ground and making it sway continuously.
The two men kept moving their hands, and in the same instant they launched countless attacks at each other again.
In just a few breaths, the two had fought for hundreds of rounds.
After hundreds of rounds of confrontation, Qi Ji quickly found out the strength of his opponent - slightly stronger than a normal third-level extraordinary person.
It’s the Welfare Bureau!
I can encounter the Welfare Bureau every time I get stuck, which is great!
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he planned to rely on his strength to crush the opponent and end the battle quickly.
So he activated the Breathing of the Sun, and with a loud inhalation sound, a vision of fire immediately appeared on the Wolf Sword.
At the same time, he opened up the transparent world.
The black swordsman's body hidden under the black armor was completely revealed before his eyes as he moved.
The dynamics of breathing, the changes in eyes, the contraction of muscles, the flow of blood...
Everything about the black swordsman was exposed in Qi Ji's eyes.
It has been mentioned before that before becoming extraordinary, Earth and the outside world divided mortals' martial arts realm into several levels. Among them, the fifth level "Use of Wisdom" and the sixth level "Insight into the Mysterious" refer to the ability to see through the enemy's current attack point in battle, and even predict the enemy's next move.
The abilities of these two levels are essentially the skills a person acquires by materializing his combat experience after many battles.
The more experienced a person is, the more accurately he can predict his opponent's attacks.
But this is just experience.
The characteristic of the skill of seeing through the world is far from this kind of experiential skill.
Instead, it is about being able to truly see through the enemy's entire body movements, and using these movements to fully predict the opponent's actions!
The next second, Qi Ji calmly avoided the opponent's fierce slash, and at the same time, the wolf sword in his hand swept heavily and chopped the black swordsman more than 20 meters away.
Qi Ji had seen through all of the black swordsman's actions!
In the battle with the fourth-level warrior in the evening, the most important reason why he was able to withstand the enemy's offensive with a physical fitness far inferior to that of his opponent was the almost predictable effect of this transparent world.
Now, his strength, speed, and skills are all stronger than the black swordsman in front of him. With the ability to accurately predict his opponent's movements...
The result was like playing with a child. With one strike, the black swordsman was chopped away and flew far away. It was visible to the naked eye that the black swordsman's left arm was obviously fractured after being chopped by Qi Ji.
But the black swordsman was extremely tenacious. He supported himself on the ground with his right hand, raised his head, gritted his teeth, and looked at Qi Ji with endless anger.
Immediately afterwards, under Qi Ji's astonished gaze, accompanied by a few teeth-grinding sounds, the black swordsman's broken left arm was forcibly straightened by the black armor that seemed to come alive!
His arm was restored to its original state in an instant!
The black swordsman rushed forward again and slashed at Qi Ji countless times with a life-threatening attitude.
This opponent possessed greater strength and agility than Arthas and the Smoke Knight. In his hands, a giant sword weighing at least 200 kilograms was wielded several times faster than an ordinary person wielding a normal sword weighing three to five kilograms.
If it was Qi Ji before he comprehended the transparent world, he might have to try his best to defeat him.
But now Qi Ji, as if he had been given a cheat, completely crushed the black swordsman.
Qi Ji dodged every attack from the opponent with the smallest movement, and discovered every flaw in advance and hit the opponent accurately. Within a few seconds, the black-clad swordsman was slashed by Qi Ji again and his bones were broken several times, and then he was kicked away by Qi Ji.
The black-clad swordsman who was kicked ten meters away again quickly got up. Soon, with blood splattering on his body, the fractures on his body were straightened and fixed again by the armor that seemed to have life .
It was precisely because this enemy had such a tenacious recovery ability that Qi Ji gave up the idea of a quick victory and decided to use this person as a whetstone to hone his newly acquired skills, and no longer insisted on killing him directly.
He stood there with sword in hand, waiting for the black-clad swordsman to rush forward again.
Unexpectedly, this time the opponent did not rush over immediately, but let out a low gasp from his throat, and his whole body was trembling, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.
But he couldn't suppress the impulse after all, and the next second, he raised his head, and his low breathing turned into a violent roar!
It's like a beast.
Not only does it sound like a beast!
Qi Ji could clearly see that the black swordsman was originally wearing armor but had no helmet, but at this moment the armor was like a living thing. A section of armor suddenly rose from behind his neck and covered his head like a wolf's kiss.
At this point, the black swordsman was completely wrapped in this terrifying black armor.
The shape of his helmet is like a bloody wolf head filled with endless hatred!
He carried the huge sword on his shoulder and squatted slightly. The material of the black cloak behind him seemed to be affected and turned into some kind of fur-like texture, fluttering backwards in his endless violent aura.
Then, he suddenly raised his head, and the eyes of the wolf-shaped helmet stared at Qi Ji with blood-red light!
