Volume 5: Return to Donghua Chapter 45: Return of the Swallows
Wagtail eyes!
Faced with Sasaki Kojiro's incredible secret sword, Qi Ji brazenly activated this magical eye technique.
In an instant, his dynamic vision, thinking speed and body coordination were greatly improved.
His already excellent eyesight and keenness were now enhanced several times, with the direct result that everything in the world seemed to be stagnant in his eyes.
Including Sasaki Kojiro's secret sword move, which was impossible to use in reality, and which used three swords in an instant, it was almost frozen in front of Qi Ji at this moment, and turned into a slow sword that moved as slowly as a snail.
However, this kind of slowness does not only mean that his opponents are slowing down in his eyes.
Qi Ji himself is also as slow as a snail.
If three snails attack one snail at the same time, the only one that will die is probably that one.
At the critical moment, Qi Ji's face blurred for a moment in Sasaki Kojiro's eyes.
Infinite meanings arise from one Dharma.
One of the methods is "no form".
The figures of those opponents he had killed before flashed quickly in Qi Ji’s mind.
"Subduing demons" is further upgraded to "no form"!
The battle consciousness of countless enemies he had defeated gathered in his body, and countless ideas for countering their moves emerged in his mind.
The seemingly unsolvable Yan Fan problem immediately became solvable.
The first method is to immediately use the secret technique of the Muming Shen Fengliu, "Xuanwu", and use the Xuanwu Armor to forcibly withstand Kojiro's triple slash, which is swift and fierce, difficult to dodge, but actually has limited power.
The second method is to break the attack with the attack!
Yan Fan's three slashes occurred and hit at the same time, but it does not mean that they did not have a process of movement.
In Qi Ji's wagtail eyes, Yan Fan's triple attack was coming towards him extremely slowly.
It was so slow that he could even observe carefully, and then use Wuxiang's supreme wisdom to accurately find a knife path.
A sword path that can, at a certain point, block all three attacks with one strike!
So, at this moment, Qi Ji moved!
At the most appropriate time, using the shortest route, strike the most perfect blow!
Divine·Sword·Cut!
clang!
A crisp metallic collision sound was heard.
Qi Ji's spiral curved sword and Kojiro's "three" large swords clashed fiercely!
Two people passed each other.
A long sword blade flew out, spinning.
Qi Ji maintained the posture of drawing the sword and remained silent.
The next second, a large amount of blood suddenly spurted out of Kojiro's mouth, and a hideous wound appeared from his left shoulder to his right hip.
But his expression was one of admiration and joy.
He staggered forward two steps, then stood calmly as if he was not injured, muttering: "I didn't expect... my Yan Fan would have such a way to break it, what a wonderful sword path!"
He exhaled lightly and smiled with satisfaction: "It was a perfect duel. I have no regrets. You won."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body turned into countless starlights, which then quietly turned into a large amount of mist, and were quickly absorbed by Qi Ji's body.
[Kill the target, seize 2000 spiritual points, and convert the excess spiritual points into transcendence]
Qi Ji had already dispersed his explosive state. He silently turned back to the place where Sasaki Kojiro disappeared and gently touched the skill blood crystal he left behind.
The text appeared in the mist.
[Permission "Choose One from Three" is effective, please choose one of the following three skills to obtain it]
[Option 1 - Clear Mirror, Still Water: People should not learn from flowing water, but learn from still water. Once entering the battle, they can completely eliminate all influence of emotions on themselves and exert their due abilities.]
[Option 2 - The state of no moves: Completely integrate the martial arts skills learned, to the point where even if you use the same moves, you can make the opponent as difficult to deal with as if they were facing it for the first time]
[Option 3 - Secret Sword Swallow Return: It flashes once from the real world, and then ignores the concepts of time and space and flashes twice at the same time . It is a secret sword that transcends simple technical concepts such as speed and sophistication, and has already triggered magic power to form a multi-dimensional folding phenomenon - the real three swords in one instant]
Is there any need to choose?
Although options one and two are both powerful and practical, they are ultimately realms that humans can achieve. What's more, Qi Ji possesses the states of "subduing demons" and even "formlessness". This short-term "realm of emptiness" is essentially higher than the so-called realm of stillness and without moves.
What's more, the secret sword of the third option is a super sword skill equivalent to time and space magic. Although it was cracked by Qi Ji, that was because Qi Ji possessed stronger strength and speed than Kojiro, as well as various magical status skills.
If Qi Ji used it, there would probably be no one else in the world who could break it with such skill.
Qi Ji didn't hesitate at all and directly chose the third option.
The red crystal shattered in Qi Ji's hand, turning into a stream of light that drilled into Qi Ji's brows.
An image emerged in his mind of a swordsman deep in the mountains, silently practicing his sword skills.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the swordsman's face was exactly his own.
Draw the sword, strike out, put the sword away...
I have lost track of my age, and my appearance is no longer the same as before.
Day after day, year after year, persisting tirelessly.
From the first sword that appeared in the world, to the second sword that transcended space, to the third sword that folded time...
Until his death, the swordsman slowly exhaled his last breath in the mountains with a faint smile on his face.
Qi Ji also opened his eyes and showed the same smile.
…
Early in the morning, Qi Ji opened his eyes and immediately flew high into the sky from his resting place.
Then he opened the transcendence panel, intending to add points to the newly learned skills.
[Transcendence: Qi Ji]
[Transcendence: 8640]
[Secret Sword Swallow Return (0/5000): This move has reached the limit of human skills. Three slashes are made from three directions in an instant, completely blocking the opponent's retreat. Even a swallow flying in the air has no way to escape.]
emmm……
Qi Ji touched his chin - this was completely different from what he had imagined!
Does this mean that I have to tap into all 5,000 points of transcendence in order to complete the breakthrough from mortal skills to extraordinary skills?
Qi Ji hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and used his transcendence.
[Transcendence: 8640 → 3640]
[Secret Sword Swallow Return (5000/5000) → Secret Sword Swallow Return·Ultimate (Cannot be upgraded)]
This time, he was not disappointed. The large amount of insights that flooded into his mind, as well as the muscle skills that quietly emerged in his body, made Qi Ji know that he had grasped the true essence of Yan Fan.
The principle behind this move is - there is no principle.
Qi Ji: oO?
He felt the insights that the Transcendence Panel injected into his mind and body, and discovered that this sword technique was beyond time and space, and the actual user himself could not explain the principle.
To put it simply, in Qi Ji's view, he only needs to naturally swing out three superb sword moves according to the prescribed sword paths.
Then some kind of mysterious secret will be triggered by his sword skill that has reached the pinnacle, turning his sword move into three sword strikes in an instant that transcends time and space.
To put it simply, Qi Ji just needs to exert his strength and leave everything else to miracles.
