Volume 5: Return to Donghua Chapter 44: Secret Sword
Qi Ji had already activated Demon Subduing and Crazy Armor. Sasaki Kojiro's sword speed, which seemed to be at the peak in the eyes of ordinary people, was completely bearable in his eyes.
The next second, the two weapons collided and sparks flew.
The high-speed collision of the two swords produced a long series of sharp sounds that merged into one in an instant.
In the demon-subduing state, Qi Ji felt it the moment his weapon collided with his opponent's - his strength was not great, at least far less than his own.
But he is very fast.
No, the word "fast" is too one-sided.
It should be said that the opponent is very "agile".
To be honest, this goes against common sense and goes against the laws of physics.
From a scientific point of view, under normal circumstances, strength and speed should be linked.
The stronger the force and the smaller the mass, the faster the theoretical speed can be achieved.
But this was not the case for Kojiro Sasaki on the opposite side. His performance seemed to have nothing to do with the rules of physics. Although his strength level was far inferior to his own, his speed was equal to his own.
That can only be attributed to the effect of "supernormal".
"A worldview where martial arts are low and magic is high?"
Qi Ji thought silently, his hands moving non-stop, and in a blink of an eye he had exchanged hundreds of moves with his opponent.
Then, he discovered other strengths of his opponent.
First of all, he is like himself when he activated the demon-conquering power. Even when facing such a high-intensity battle, his face is still as calm as water, as if he can deal with any situation with an "empty" attitude, and his fighting posture is not affected by emotions.
This is the realm of still water and clear mirror known as the realm of the Sword Saint.
Secondly, his swordsmanship has reached an extremely high level.
How should I describe it?
In fantasy works, there should be many protagonists or high-profile villains who often use words like "the same tricks are useless to me" to show their contempt when facing opponents using repetitive moves.
However, the swordsman in front of Qi Ji, who was named Sasaki Kojiro and whose actual strength surpassed countless ordinary people, refuted the above theory with his profound swordsmanship.
You know, when the speed reaches Qi Ji's level, the frequency of attack may be a bit exaggerated to describe it in milliseconds, but it is well deserved to be described as a span of one hundredth of a second.
The two men fought for only a few seconds, but they had already exchanged hundreds of moves.
During these hundreds of moves, Qi Ji had already used several moves that repeated the previous attack routes.
The same goes for opponents.
However, no matter how many times this Kojiro repeated his attacks, for Qi Ji, it was as tricky and brutal as the first time he faced him, and he had no experience of fighting against him before.
That’s right, every slash, stab, hack and lift gave Qi Ji a completely different feeling.
Kojiro's swordsmanship has reached the level where even if he uses exactly the same attack route, he can make the enemy feel completely different from before.
It is just like a wild imagination, and there is no trace left like an antelope hanging its horns.
This is a character who has reached the pinnacle in terms of sword skills alone.
The fight between the two seemed to last for a long time, but in fact, less than a minute had passed.
Not only were they wielding their weapons, their steps also never stopped. If an ordinary person were to watch the duel between the two, they would only be able to see that within a certain range, accompanied by the fierce sound of weapons clashing, the ground was crushed by the force of their feet in various places, and every time the ground was broken, the afterimages of the two people would appear.
Qi Ji and Kojiro, who were in the demon-subduing state, also had calm expressions. They neither used the Muming Shen Fengliu nor any other superpowers.
Instead, it is a rare opportunity for him to compete with his opponent purely based on his sword skills.
Flying Sword Style, Heavenly Fairy, Japanese Sword Art, Fiore Sword Art, Bar Style, Ashina Style, Divine Sword Slash, Fifteenth Sword...
All the sword and knife moves were performed at his will, which also brought countless new experiences to Kojiro.
Soon, after a fierce knife fight, Kojiro retreated a few steps.
Qi Ji seemed to have sensed something and stood quietly where he was without following.
"It's really refreshing. I didn't expect that I could experience the same satisfaction in the duel with those 'few people' as I did in the battle with you."
Sasaki Kojiro showed an elegant smile and said softly to Qi Ji: "Qi Ji, this is a name I have never heard of. Are you the "Sword Class" Servant this time?"
Qi Ji calmly replied: "What do you mean by 'Sword Servant'? I am not a Servant, I am just an ordinary human being."
"Human!?"
It seemed that Qi Ji's answer was too outrageous. Sasaki Kojiro, who had always been as calm as a well, showed a very confused expression for the first time.
He then couldn't help but exclaimed: "I believe you are not lying. I didn't expect that there are humans in this world who can fight against me as a Servant with just their physical strength and skills."
Qi Ji looked at the other party's sigh, but still calmly made the moves he made for the first time in this battle, which was the posture of Wuming Shenliu.
The sword finger swept across the blade, and an invisible gust of wind began to blow.
Sasaki Kojiro looked at Qi Ji, whose aura had become extremely fierce, and could not help but pause for a moment, then smiled: "I see, you haven't used your full strength yet..."
As he spoke, he assumed a horse stance, drew his sword, turned around and placed it at the side of his face, making a posture that was somewhat like a variation of Meyer's bull style of swordplay with his back turned to the enemy.
He didn't let Qi Ji wait too long, and the invisible magic power began to boil.
"Since this is the final blow, I will also respond with this move."
Kojiro Sasaki's expression returned to being as calm as a mirror and still water.
"The name of this move is——"
"Yan Fan!"
As he spoke the name of the legendary secret sword, he instantly took a step forward!
The first knife!
He slashed out with his front hand, the blade cut through the air and instantly cut Qi Ji's waist!
Time stops! The figure goes back!
Just as he maintained the posture he had when he first drew his sword - he quietly and miraculously returned to the posture he had before drawing the sword, this time holding the sword high with both hands.
The second knife!
It chopped down from above his head , and in an instant the blade had reached Qi Ji's face!
The space is folded and the figure reappears!
Then, as if a clone appeared out of nowhere,
The third knife!
He swept out from the left waist with his backhand and reached the other side of Qi Ji in an instant!
In the reflection of Qi Ji's slightly widened eyes, a picture appeared that was completely inconsistent with reality.
At the same time, the same person, three figures, three knives, three routes, triple fold!
The real three swords in one instant!
This is an incredible sword skill that uses only the highest level of skills to break through the limits of mortals, mobilize magic power, and achieve multiple folding phenomena!
Kojiro's expression was as calm as water. At the moment when the three swords were out at the same time, the memories of his seclusion in the mountains and practicing sword skills involuntarily came to his mind.
A smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.
happy!
Avoid worldly ties, sing the praises of desire as a living being, and pursue infinity with the sword in hand.
The ultimate sword was finally completed, and the sword light flashed on the moon in the void and disappeared!
At the same time, facing Sasaki Kojiro's fatal sword.
Qi Ji's face was as calm as water, and for a moment it became blurred.
A special mark also appeared in his eyes.
Wagtail eyes!
