Volume 5: Return to Donghua Chapter 31: The First of the Four Symbols
Yu Cheng'en has been controlled in some way through demonic energy. Even if he still has a little consciousness, it is difficult for him to regain control of his body.
He was not afraid of Qi Ji's fierce and strange aura. As soon as he landed from the air, he stepped on the ground without hesitation and rushed towards Qi Ji at supersonic speed.
What followed was a quick step forward and a slash in the nick of time.
The dragon emerges from the water and emits green light!
Although his mind was in a frenzy, he was able to maintain his top-level combat awareness and used his most familiar sword moves against Qi Ji one after another. His accuracy and ruthlessness were so perfect that it could be called the pinnacle of "skill".
Back then, the reason why Yu Chengen was invincible below the fifth level was because he had the best combat awareness and talent for swordsmanship among the hundreds of billions of people on Earth.
With this kind of talent, even in the outer realm, when his cultivation was not yet deep enough, he was already able to crush his peers all the way and earn the title of "Sword King".
Now, Qi Ji was personally facing this powerful warrior with top combat awareness. Just like before, he should have been completely unable to fight back after the initial fight and was suppressed in an instant.
But he didn't.
The state is full, the explosive power is enhanced, and it is equal to or even exceeds the power of the demonized Yu Chengen, but this is only one aspect.
On the other hand, after he maxed out the Nameless Divine Wind Style, in addition to obtaining new powerful secrets, he also gained a branch of skills.
[Yin Yang: Having understood the essence of the flow of "skill" and "power", swinging the sword with power is unparalleled and invincible. Swinging the sword with skill is as difficult to predict as Yin, and can tolerate everything.]
The introduction of this branch of skill in the Beyond panel was obscure and strange, but Qi Ji's understanding based on his own experience made it extremely clear.
To put it bluntly, in the martial arts system he knew before, the essence of confrontation was "head-on confrontation", which was a confrontation of strength.
Even if it is a skill, it is to make one's own power greater, and then while offsetting the opponent's power , one's own power can be poured onto the enemy.
The branch of the Wuming Shenfengliu technique allowed him to more deeply understand how to make more power effective, and at the same time, he realized the realm of "another aspect".
That is the technical realm called "Yin".
The improvement of this realm allowed Qi Ji to deeply understand another way of fighting - not confrontation, but absorption and elimination.
It is to use "yin" against "yang" and "nothing" against "something" to completely dissolve the enemy's attack.
This was demonstrated in actual combat, when Yu Chengen launched a ferocious and terrifying attack on him, it was all eliminated by Qi Ji's moves.
Every time Yu Chengen swung his black sword, it would come into contact with Qi Ji's sword for a moment, and before he could use his full strength, Qi Ji's sword would lead it to the side in a strange way.
In a blink of an eye, the two sides had fought hundreds of rounds.
During these hundreds of rounds, Qi Ji's feet didn't even move too much. He just used ordinary sword swings to resolve Yu Chengen's fierce attack.
This strange attack quickly wore out the patience of the demonized Yu Chengen.
He suddenly retreated ten meters away, an extremely painful expression appearing in his eyes. The black lines on his body, stimulated by the shining purple beads, once again exuded a huge amount of demonic energy.
The next moment, these huge amounts of demonic energy turned into additional modules for his Qi armor.
Those were a pair of huge wings made up of countless pitch-black swords of different sizes, and each Qi sword was a feather on the wings.
Sword Wings!
In addition, there was a large amount of demonic energy attached to the black sword in his hand, which also added a huge Qi blade to his weapon.
This is no longer Xue Tu's trick of using blood to gain extraordinary factors through physical exercise.
But it is the real ability that is beginning to approach the fifth level, which is to transform the extraordinary factors outside the body into forms other than armor.
After being demonized, Yu Chengen, with the help of demonic energy, has become infinitely close to the fifth level!
These changes took a very short moment.
Yu Chengen, who had condensed part of the external appearance, was now emitting a sharp aura. The black sword in his hand, wrapped in Qi, turned into an extra-long weapon over five meters in length, and slashed towards Qi Ji in an instant. Not only that, the sword wings behind him also swung with his attack, and began to stab Qi Ji from countless different directions at the same time.
Even when facing Yu Chengen's fifth-level attack method, Qi Ji remained calm.
He continued to use the Sword of Yin to resist Yu Chengen's endless and domineering attacks, but what he was thinking in his heart was how to save Yu Chengen.
In the demon-subduing state, he is just calm and rational, subduing all emotions, instead of truly turning into a mindless, cold and mechanical inhuman.
He certainly wouldn't just kill Yu Chengen in front of him with the ultimate secret of the Nameless Divine Wind Style for the sake of saving trouble.
However, I can't think of any suitable solution at the moment.
If you defend for too long, you will lose. Qi Ji made a quick decision - no matter what, he must subdue Yu Chengen first.
The next second, his sword force changed from "yin" to "yang"!
Both sides instantly launched countless explosive slashes at their opponents.
It was not until this moment that Yu Chengen felt the terrifying force after Qi Ji's explosion.
Even though Qi Ji did not have any external characteristics on his body at the moment, with the superposition of various explosive skills, his physical strength alone was far more than two hundred tons!
One hundred tons is the maximum output of the conventional fourth stage, while two hundred tons is the basic output of the fifth stage that reaches the minimum standard.
Now, Yu Chengen and Qi Ji have both used their own unique methods to gain equal and enormous power without officially advancing to the fifth level!
They attacked each other frantically, their figures changing rapidly within Xuancheng. Their fighting figures could be seen everywhere in the streets, alleys, squares, and rooftops.
Every time the position changed, all the objects under the feet were crushed to pieces, and the air was blown into a strong wind by the air pressure from the impact of both sides.
Several top-level fourth-level warriors who could see the fight between the two of them, including the remaining two masters of Mirage, all quietly stopped fighting and hid in their respective positions in fear, for fear of attracting the attention of the two.
Boom boom boom boom!
Above the mirage, three senior fifth-level warriors were fighting each other, almost completely demolishing the mirage in the sky and causing it to crash.
The entire Xuancheng, like the mirage high in the sky above the city, made a huge and terrifying bombing sound.
The threat to the environment and others in a fifth-level battle is terrifying, almost like a moving natural disaster.
Finally, Yu Chengen and Qi Ji, who were fighting fiercely in Xuancheng, were the first to arrive at the moment of the decisive battle.
After countless sword fights, even though Yu Chengen had fallen into the state of demonization, he was still keenly aware that he could not easily defeat Qi Ji, so he decisively chose to use his strongest and most domineering fatal attack.
The peerless sword technique created by Pei Jui, the Sword Saint of the Sheng Dynasty, in a foreign land.
Kaiyuan sword technique - prosperous times!
The black sword Qi blade in his hand suddenly expanded and turned into a giant black sword ten meters long. He lifted Qi Ji into the air and then instantly completed the accumulation of strength. The terrifying giant blade formed by the black Qi blade slashed through the sky with black Qi, and all targets were locked on Qi Ji!
The moment Qi Ji was lifted into the air, he had already assumed the posture of the Nameless Divine Wind Style. Amidst the strong wind, he quickly raised his sword in the face of Yu Chengen's terrifying attack.
The next second, a huge dark black turtle-shaped figure appeared outside his body!
Yu Chengen's giant black Qi sword slashed frantically on the extremely hard tortoise shell. The power of each slash was instantly dispersed to the entire outer appearance of the tortoise, and not even the slightest trace could be left!
Upon seeing this, Yu Cheng'en immediately stopped these lighter attacks, exerted force with his legs, and in an instant jumped to a position higher than Qi Ji.
Then the sword wings behind him swung at high speed, allowing him to dive and rush towards Qi Ji.
At this moment, all the armor on his body was integrated with the giant black Qi sword in his hand. Man and sword became one, and he attacked Qi Ji fiercely.
At this moment, Qi Ji's sword momentum changed, and a huge snake suddenly emerged from the shell of the giant turtle that wrapped him!
The giant snake suddenly shot out, swam in a winding manner, and in an instant wrapped around Yu Chengen's giant sword that was rushing forward at high speed. Although the snake's body was cut by the black giant sword, it finally completely wrapped around it and fixed it in the air.
Mr. Yu, you are also bound by the extremely strong airflow between heaven and earth.
This is not a turtle, but the four sacred beasts that are a turtle and a snake in one - Xuanwu!
However, Xuanwu's ultimate move focuses on control and defense, and it is the only ultimate move in the Nameless God Wind Style that has no lethality.
Lacking lethal control, Yu Chengen would soon break free.
To this end, Qi Ji quickly took up his stance again, and this time, as his stance was formed, an endless and terrifying gale blew violently.
Faintly, a majestic appearance emerged on the surface of his body.
Deer horns, cow heads, shrimp eyes, snake bodies...
It was a dark green divine dragon - the Azure Dragon!
Among the four mysteries of the Nameless God's Fengliu, the sacred beast that symbolizes the strongest attack is now ready to go!
