Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 33: Who attacks whom?
The distance between the two was only six hundred feet.
According to the rules of the cultivation world, cultivators at this distance should take the initiative to stagger their bodies to show that they have no ill intentions.
Guiyuan Zhenzun did the same.
His figure was leaning to the right.
Lu Qingshan seemed to understand what he meant and also moved to the other side.
When Guiyuan Zhenzun saw this situation, he remained expressionless on the surface, but sneered in his heart.
The black Yin Sha sword in his dantian was already stirring.
At this moment, he was in a confrontation with Lu Qingshan .
Hedging means that the distance between the two is reduced at twice the speed, and it also means that once someone makes a move, the time for the other person to counter is also halved.
Not to mention, he is also a swordsman, famous for his swift and sharp attacks.
This was a deliberate plan, and if it went well, he could chop off Lu Qingshan's head with one sword and then escape.
Guiyuan Zhenzun had already figured everything out in his mind.
Just as his figure was about to deviate to the right, Guiyuan Zhenzun let out a low shout.
"Sword out!"
boom!
The black Yin Sha sword, in an instant, emitting black sword energy, burst out from his dantian.
A black light exploded in the sky, ready to greet Lu Qingshan.
"Good boy, let me show you how dangerous the world is!" Now that the sword was out, Guiyuan Zhenzun no longer concealed his true intentions and laughed sinisterly at Lu Qingshan.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when the sword light exploded, when Guiyuan Zhenzun raised his eyes, what he saw was not Lu Qingshan's panic-stricken expression, but a dazzling and bright sword energy.
A howling sound was heard, and the sword energy, after hitting him, suddenly turned into a mysterious Xiezhi, and used the single horn on its forehead to thrust straight into his body.
Then he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if a bomb exploded in his sea of consciousness.
While he was half conscious, he heard three explosions.
Fiery red, emerald green, and dark blue, three brilliant sword lights locked onto his body tightly.
"Who is attacking whom?" A trace of confusion flashed through Guiyuan Zhenzun's mind.
How come his planned sneak attack had not yet been carried out, but the swordsman on the opposite side succeeded first?
…
When two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins.
When two cultivators confront each other, especially when both of them are sword cultivators famous for their speed, the competition tests courage, judgment, speed... and who will strike first.
Guiyuan Zhenzun made preparations for a sneak attack and took action at the most appropriate time.
The timing of Lu Qingshan's attack was just a little faster than that of Guiyuan Zhenzun.
But this one line gave him the upper hand!
This brief advantage was not enough for Lu Qingshan to use too many tricks, so his choice was to use three swords at the same time.
There were three sword lights, two in front and one behind. The ones in front were Longque and Wangchuan, which were also Taoist weapons, and the one behind was Taohua.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fast, too fast!
Lu Qingshan's perfect killing sword intent showed its power in front of outsiders for the first time.
And it was the killing sword intent that evolved from the immortal true meaning.
The killing sword intent has reached perfection, and only the true meaning of its origin can make its power break through the upper limit and reach a higher level.
With the dual blessing, the speed of the flying sword that Lu Qingshan used through the Taoist weapon was...
Seventy-five times the speed of sound!
The speed of the flying sword is the most difficult to improve among the rigid indicators of inner sword cultivation.
No one dared to imagine that the flying speed of a sword cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage could be so fast.
Even Guiyuan Zhenzun didn't dare to think about it.
As a swordsman in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, regardless of the specific power of his flying sword, his speed alone is only around seventy times the speed of sound.
But no matter what, Lu Qingshan's flying sword has arrived.
The Dragon Bird invades like fire, and the Forgotten River surges like a tide.
Guiyuan Zhenzun, who had barely come to his senses, could only change his tactics hastily, using the black Yin Sha Sword and the white Yang Sha Sword in front of him, and using all his strength to defend against the two flying swords of Lu Qingshan.
Danger lurks on every side.
Four flying swords were chasing and colliding with each other in the space of dozens of feet in front of Guiyuan Zhenzun, drawing one arc after another that was like a half moon or a waning moon.
Due to their extremely fast speed, the four flying swords dragged long tails of flames, forming a dancing trail in the air, like four coiled dragons. In terms of visual effects, it was extremely beautiful.
"The cultivator of Lianxu should not be underestimated. He raised his sword to defend in a hurry, but his defense was airtight and no water could get in." Lu Qingshan murmured.
The third natal sword finally joined the battlefield at this time.
Guiyuan Zhenzun felt a tightness in his heart and made full preparations to deal with the situation, but found that his preparations were in vain.
Because after the flying sword arrived, it suddenly stopped.
The role of peach blossom...is not the main one.
Its function is to bring Lu Qingshan to the presence of Guiyuan Zhenzun.
Yes, Lu Qingshan has already completed the close combat.
In the brief moment of close range, he did one more thing.
"【Heaven-Severing Sword Scripture】(Nascent Soul Chapter) upgraded to level 6, spiritual power +10,000!"
"Your rank has been raised to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and your spiritual awareness has increased by 100!"
"【Heaven-Severing Sword Scripture】(Nascent Soul Chapter) upgraded to level 7, spiritual power +10,000!"
"Your spiritual power limit exceeds 10w, and your talent [Spiritual Power Transformation] (Intermediate) has been upgraded to [Spiritual Power Transformation] (Advanced)!"
[Spiritual Power Transformation] (Advanced): As your cultivation level increases, your control over spiritual power becomes more sophisticated and its power becomes more powerful. Spiritual power increase +60%.
…
"【Heaven-Severing Sword Scripture】(Nascent Soul Chapter) upgraded to level 11, spiritual power +10,000!"
"Your rank has been raised to the late Nascent Soul stage, and your spiritual awareness has increased by 100!"
"【Heaven-Severing Sword Scripture】(Nascent Soul Chapter) upgraded to lv15, Spiritual Power +10,000!"
Under the confused, puzzled and surprised gaze of Guiyuan Zhenzun, the aura emanating from Lu Qingshan suddenly rose from the early Nascent Soul stage to the late Nascent Soul stage as if it was a joke.
There are no so-called rules for conspiracy and assassination in the world of cultivation. It is common sense for the strong to bully the weak.
It is naturally more satisfying to use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
He can understand this behavior, but isn't it too much to use a gun to kill a chicken?
Lu Qingshan knew that he was a good fighter, and if someone was targeting him secretly, he would never send some small fry to die.
But in his estimation, it was most likely that a cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refinement would take action, or even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement would appear, which he could barely accept.
To dispatch a great cultivator in the late stage of refining emptiness is indeed too high a standard.
An opponent of this strength has already surpassed his level of strength.
In this case, he had no choice but to improve his strength.
Lu Qingshan, whose aura has reached the late Nascent Soul stage, is above Guiyuan Zhenzun, holding a peach blossom, and relying on his superior position, he chops down quickly.
The Peach Blossom Sword was dragged out by him, leaving a long sword shadow that tore through the void, and a sword whistling sound was heard.
In a split second, he used all his strength and performed two moves.
Longque and Wangchuan attacked with the power of flying swords.
He himself advanced through invisible sword escape and completed the close-range sword strike.
Both methods are offensive.
In other words.
Only attack, no defense.
There is progress, no retreat!
This is an extremely crazy act, but it is not a reckless decision.
Due to his gaming experience in his previous life, Lu Qingshan's combat experience was already much richer than that of any other cultivator. It was almost like muscle memory, so he chose this seemingly dangerous but actually the most correct way to fight the enemy.
Why only attack?
Because this was the initiative he had finally seized, and if he defended, he would be giving away the initiative.
When sword cultivators face off against each other, if they are a thousand feet apart, then they compete with flying swords. Although it is also clanging and looks extremely intense, when the strength is similar, it will become a protracted battle.
But once the flying sword gets close, no matter the strength of both sides, life and death will be decided in a flash.
Most sword cultivators would not easily do such a crazy thing.
Lu Qingshan was not afraid.
A swordsman who is afraid of close combat is not a good swordsman!
No matter how other sword cultivators view the distinction between inner sword and outer sword, in Lu Qingshan's mind, the flying sword of the inner sword is certainly the signature and unique skill of a sword cultivator, so cool, but the outer sword is the best means to test a sword cultivator's courage and skills, and it is the most ruthless killing move.
This is exactly what he is good at!
Sword light filled Guiyuan Zhenzun's eyes, and his back was covered with cold sweat.
Too fast, too fierce!
Obviously, he was a Void Refinement cultivator, and Lu Qingshan was only a Nascent Soul cultivator, but in terms of momentum, he had been completely suppressed by Lu Qingshan.
"How can you be so cruel?"
As his mind was wavering, Guiyuan Zhenzun quickly offered up a jade talisman.
Countless green runes flew out from the talisman, forming a jade belt that surrounded the body of Guiyuan Zhenzun and protected him inside.
This is his protective weapon.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan just sneered.
I'm waiting for you!
The next moment, a withered yellow color like fallen leaves flashed across the green peach blossoms.
The moment this ray of light flashed, all the light on the jade talisman dissipated, and it turned into a piece of ancient jade that seemed to have been sealed for thousands of years and had lost all its spirituality.
Those runes disappeared in an instant, and the jade belt collapsed, revealing the naked Guiyuan Zhenzun.
Avatar: Withering!
Everyone in the world knows that sword cultivators have the most fragile bodies. How could sword cultivators themselves not know this?
Just think about it, how could a swordsman who is aware of his own shortcomings not have means of self-defense?
The higher the level of swordsmanship, the more complete and sophisticated the means of self-defense will be.
However, no matter how sophisticated and varied the sword cultivators' self-defense methods are, they cannot escape the scope of two categories.
It's either magic or magic weapon, it's impossible to rely on one's own body like physical cultivators.
The withering magical power of peach blossom can make magical instruments of lower rank than it lose all five spiritual breaths.
Under his nurturing, the quality of Taohua has long been upgraded to a top-grade heavenly weapon. With a sword of this quality, how many people's magic weapons can exceed this grade?
At the very least, it is impossible for a swordsman in the late stage of Lianxu to have such a defensive magic weapon, unless he is also from a Taoist sect!
This is the reason why Lu Qingshan chose Peach Blossom as his melee sword.
In the instant of taking action, he also predicted Guiyuan Zhenzun's response.
What if Guiyuan Zhenzun’s means of self-defense is not magic weapons, but magic?
It’s already been said that it’s prediction, not foreknowledge. Isn’t it enough to have a half-correct rate?
Fortunately, he got half of the answers correct.
There was a flash of murderous intent in Lu Qingshan's eyes, and he continued to thrust the peach blossom sword downward, pouring out the spiritual power in his body.
Secret Sword: Cut the Wind!
Two sword shadows appeared above the peach blossoms, beckoning to Guiyuan Zhenzun.
Lu Qingshan can use three swords in one breath, so how can Guiyuan Zhenzun avoid them in one breath?
"Damn it!" A murderous look flashed in Guiyuan Zhenzun's eyes.
Between life and death, he didn't care about anything else. Black and white energy surged out of his body, as if covering him with a layer of gas mask.
The sword cultivator has a weak physique, so how can he feel at ease with a defensive magic weapon?
This was an additional self-defense spell that he practiced. He used his natal sword to generate golden qi, which was contained in his body. He could use it as soon as he thought about it, and it had infinite defensive power.
The only drawback is that this golden qi is a one-time resource and cannot be recycled. Once you use it, you have to start over from scratch.
He has acquired this magic spell for nearly a hundred years. Since he began practicing it, he has spent half an hour every day cultivating his golden energy.
Although there were losses in the process, the income was always greater than the expenditure. After years of accumulation, it would not be easy for a Nascent Soul swordsman, let alone a swordsman in the late Refining Void stage, to break through this golden Qi.
Guiyuan Zhenzun felt a little angry.
In his entire life, he had never encountered such a situation where he was led by the nose throughout a battle.
He has a lot of tricks hidden in his hands, but he can't use them!
When his two evil swords, black and white, are used together, they can form an endless Yin-Yang Sword Formation, which can grind him to death even a cultivator of the same realm.
The problem is, we have to give him a chance to draw his sword!
First, he was attacked by his soul, and then two flying swords flew towards his face. He was caught off guard and could only defend himself hastily.
Just when he had found his rhythm and was preparing to defend and counterattack, the swordsman came back with a desperate force and hit him in the face with both his body and sword. After a set of three axe attacks, his energy was disordered again and he lost all rhythm.
When sword cultivators fight, the most important thing is to take the initiative!
Guiyuan Zhenzun has no way to express his pain.
I am a cultivator of the Void Refining Realm, but I have fallen to this state when facing a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. I want to fight to the death, I want to attack violently, but I don't know where to start. Who can I go to for justice? Who will believe me if I tell others?
Fortunately, I have learned this defensive spell, otherwise I would be in trouble today.
"Three axes are only three axes after all." After offering the golden qi, Guiyuan Zhenzun was determined in his heart. He said to Lu Qingshan with a sneer on his face: "The gap in realm is there. Even if I sneak attack, what can you do to me?"
Lu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged, but a thundering sound came from his body.
Secret Sword: Heaven-Suppressing Sword!
The first sword of Zhentian was swung out.
clang!
A deafening crash was heard.
The golden Qi was flowing, and although about 10% of it was consumed, the Guiyuan Zhenzun in it was not hindered at all.
Lu Qingshan's determination to fight was extremely firm. He did not give up just because his first sword attack failed. He decided to do it. This is a basic quality of a sword cultivator, not an advantage.
Zhentian's second sword followed immediately, leaving no time for Guiyuan Zhenzun to react.
Sizzle!
Where the sword and the golden energy collided, spiritual power and golden energy scattered and floated in the air.
Another ten percent of the golden energy was destroyed.
However, there is still a long way to go before all the golden energy can be wiped out.
"Zhentian? It's useless." Guiyuan Zhenzun was extremely proud and laughed out loud again, intending to disturb Lu Qingshan's Taoism.
But this is also the truth. The two secret swords, Zhentian and Zhanfeng, are the means that Lu Qingshan has put on the table. He knows that unless Lu Qingshan is a cultivator of the refining realm, he will never be able to break his golden qi.
"It's useful." Lu Qingshan said softly, his eyes slightly focused, and he swung out the last sword to suppress the sky.
Behind Guiyuan Zhenzun, a graceful and elegant woman appeared.
In her hand, she held the Dragon Bird, which was supposed to be flying in the posture of a sword.
Qin Yitian took a step ahead of Lu Qingshan and swung out the dragon bird in his hand.
Dragon Bird: Break the law.
After one sword strike, the golden energy that could withstand the attack of the Lianxu sword cultivator melted and disappeared like snow in spring.
This is his killer move.
The two swords that suppressed the sky before were just to let Guiyuan Zhenzun get used to this rhythm, and then when he gradually became paralyzed, he would suddenly launch a big move.
Lu Qingshan, with the peach blossom in his hand, followed closely behind, cooperating perfectly with Qin Yitian. At the moment when Guiyuan Zhenzun's protective golden energy disappeared, he pierced into Guiyuan Zhenzun's abdomen with irresistible destructive power.
The sword energy was so violent that it easily shredded his Nascent Soul and body.
Severe pain came from the abdomen.
Guiyuan Zhenzun widened his eyes, looking at the green peach blossom pulled out from his abdomen and Lu Qingshan's expressionless face.
At this moment, he finally understood why the sword cultivators of the Sword Sect, after thousands of years of training, could still stand at the top of the sword cultivators' contempt chain.
Blood splattered, and the scene ended with Guiyuan Zhenzun's endless unwillingness and two questions.
"Do you know who I am? Why did you attack me without saying a word? Do you have any martial ethics?"
"Where did the woman behind you come from?"
…
The duel between sword cultivators was swift and vigorous.
In just twenty breaths, the two men were separated by life and death.
Lu Qingshan felt somewhat relieved.
When sword cultivators fight, rhythm is crucial.
Just like in an ancient game in the previous life, two ADCs met on a narrow road and PKed in the imperial city. Unless the equipment gap was too big, the one who took the first move would usually win.
If he hadn't seized the initiative and taken the lead, the fight would never have been so smooth.
Until his death, Guiyuan Zhenzun never figured out how Lu Qingshan knew that he had ill intentions and took decisive action first.
I hid it so perfectly.
He didn't know that although he appeared flawless on the surface, the increasingly dark murderous intent in his heart betrayed him...
Eye Technique: Identify Evil: Detect the murderous intent of other living beings, regardless of whether the living beings are experiencing emotional fluctuations.
When Lu Qingshan saw the appearance of Guiyuan Zhenzun clearly, although he did not find anything wrong, the lingering feeling of something wrong in his heart drove him to use the pupil technique of distinguishing evil for the final confirmation.
Black fish appeared in his eyes.
Then, he saw the murderous aura.
It seemed as if he was determined to fight to the death with murderous intent.
He didn't know Guiyuan Zhenzun, and he didn't have time to think about Guiyuan Zhenzun's background or whether he would really kill him.
He only knew that the Great Xia cultivator in front of him was murderous and suspected of following him.
The point is, this is a swordsman who has reached the realm of refining emptiness.
This has already posed a huge threat to his safety.
Lu Qingshan couldn't and didn't want to endure it.
So without hesitation, I took the initiative.
Then, the black fish turned into sword energy and rushed out.
More decisive than the most evil demon cultivator.
…
Looking at the face of Guiyuan Zhenzun's corpse, which still retained some of the previous sinister smile, he closed his eyes and fell straight down from a high altitude.
Lu Qingshan murmured softly, "Don't laugh like that next time. People who laugh like that usually don't survive more than a chapter in a novel."
