lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!
The sound of sword whistling sounded in Yu Ci's ears, and all the surrounding soil was pushed away, forming a nearly flawless spherical space about ten feet in diameter. It was the "Flawless Sword Circle", the secret technique of the Lichen Sect's swordsmanship. , can be said to be Yu Ci's most proficient defensive technique at this stage.
The next moment, the impact hit.
As soon as the sword energy collided with the shock wave, Yu Ci's body and brain were shaken violently, and he was unable to move for a moment. He was already pressed hard and locked in place. After one shock, he could no longer bear it, and a mouthful of blood The top of his throat, and the external pressure was so strong that he couldn't choke on the blood and poured it back.
For a moment, stars were flying in front of Yu Ci's eyes. Fortunately, when the flawless sword circle opened, the vitality of the whole body automatically adjusted and provided a buffer. In the void in his heart, the energy of the true form of the heavenly dragon also spontaneously protected and stabilized his mind. Keep the vitality flowing smoothly, otherwise you will be seriously injured, and then you will be crushed into pieces like the previous unlucky ones.
I have to say that this disaster is so unreasonable.
When Yu Ci was watching, he paid great attention to the safe distance from Xia Shuanghe and always kept it at more than fifty miles. This is the average sensing range of real monks according to Shadow Ghost. After the field experience some time ago, it feels reliable. , if there is a problem, he can respond in time.
But he never expected that the mutation would be so violent!
The two real monks only took about twenty breaths to return from a distance of nearly a hundred miles away, and with great momentum, they collided fiercely above the magma river! Even if Changsheng Zhenren wants to rush back hundreds of miles in such a short period of time, it is a task that is absolutely impossible to complete under normal circumstances. It can be imagined that some powerful secret method must have been used, and the power it aroused was even greater. Beyond imagination, the impact of the collision is undoubtedly the strongest since the battle for the "Hunting Ground"!
If this attack hits the center of the Hell Cave City, not many people in the city will survive. What does the distance of fifty miles mean?
Several ways to defend or escape flashed through my mind. The best one was to call out Tie Lan. With the help of this ghost cultivator of Buxu level, the pressure would be relieved a lot. However, Shadow Ghost called for an emergency stop. The auras of Bu Xu and Huan Dan were completely different. For the two immortal immortals, the Huan Dan cultivator did not need to be concerned at all, but if one suddenly jumped out, it was completely different from the previous one. The Buxu master attracted their attention, and the situation might be worse than now.
This method didn't work, and other ideas were worse than it. In a flash of thought, Yu Ci realized that he had no other option except using the flawless sword circle to resist!
The shock wave shook again. In fact, the current collision between the two real monks cannot create a stronger impact than the initial wave. However, the front wave is not over, the back wave is coming again, and the reciprocating shock caused by the front and back pushing is what The biggest pressure Yu Ci is facing at this stage.
If it was just a wave of impact, Yu Ci would have a way to relieve the force and buffer it, but now it was a continuous high-pressure shock. He had no time to buffer, so he could only resist with his sword. After a while, his face was full of blood. , bright red.
"Live within your means!" Shadow Ghost warned loudly, "Don't inspire your innate vitality..."
You must know that the human body always has a self-protection mechanism. For ordinary people, using innate vitality to stimulate life potential in a short period of time must always be presented in an "impossible" environment; for ordinary monks, to achieve this, There must also be corresponding Dharma practice, such as the famous Dharma of disintegrating demons, which is an example.
But for Yu Ci, because of the Marrow Burning Curse, the blood marrow vitality is already more active than ordinary people, making it easier to stimulate the body. The good thing is that it can always burst out beyond the limit of power; but the bad thing is that if it is not done well, the innate vitality will be excessively depleted and the lifespan will be reduced. It is difficult to make up for it before reaching the Buxu realm.
That's why Shadow Ghost asked him to be more cautious. After all, this situation of alternating continuous high pressure and super strong impact is the easiest way to drain the existing strength, directly stimulate the human body's potential, and cause a crisis. But it's easy to say that. How can it be so easy to control when faced with a power that has exceeded its limit? What's more, if your life is gone, what's the use of longevity?
Yu Ci did not deliberately control it, and could not control it. The flawless sword circle with a diameter of ten feet was compressed to more than a foot away from him in just one breath. The Seven Star Sword could not be used at all. Yu Ci had no choice but to Only holding the sword as a chest and using the sword energy to force the attack will consume even more energy.
His line of sight was level with the middle of the sword's spine. The faint light of the sword in the darkness reflected the expression on his face, which made him sweat like rain. Yu Ci was also looking at the Seven Star Sword itself. Due to Zhensha's full concentration, it inspired The seven twilight stones on the structure were destroyed, and the seven stars on the sword were extinguished one after another.
According to Lu Nan who forged this sword, every time a star is extinguished, the power of the sword will be doubled, and the power consumed will be more than one layer. With Yu Ci's current cultivation level, three stars will be extinguished. Going is an extreme point. If the starlight is extinguished again, there is no doubt that he has exceeded the limit!
"Idiot, the real evil in the six meridians of the hand needs to flow back here! The Chong meridians need to be nourished with Yang Qi... Your Dantian must be so hard when it vibrates..."
At the critical moment, Shadow Ghost didn't care about anything else, and kept thinking, always reminding him of Yu Ci's sword energy operation skills, asking him to achieve the greatest effect with the least effort. In terms of truth, Shadow Ghost's swordsmanship can't be said to be "unparalleled in the world", but can also be said to be "unmatched". As soon as it opens its mouth, it points to the secrets of swordsmanship with every word.
On ordinary days, if there was such an opportunity, Yu Ci would be all ears. However, in this situation, he just borrowed a little help and made some fine-tuning. Later, all the sentences flowed through like running water, and he listened He didn't hear it, and even he himself didn't know. Probably only the aura on the sword that kept dimming but never went out could answer the question.
Time passed slowly in his dazed state, which could be described as concentration.
I don’t know when, the flawless sword circle has been completely crushed, and the muscles, bones, skin and flesh are damaged, especially the epidermis, which is hot and blood red under the high pressure. I don’t know how many slender blood vessels have burst, and some places cannot support it, and they are hard. The gap was torn open. But under this situation, Yu Ci's figure began to move.
The pressure did not decrease at all. On the contrary, as the two immortal immortals fought, the accumulated impact burst out in all directions. Yu Ci's corner area was not immune. The pressure increased by 20%, which was equivalent to the initial explosive impact. It's not far behind.
But in this situation, Yu Ci held the Seven-Star Sword, just like a fish...or, in other words, a loach twisting in the mudflat. It looked clumsy, but in fact it was slippery. In the structure In the damaged soil layer, it moves faster and faster, becoming more and more flexible.
All high pressures on his side may be suppressed but not real, or diverted to the east and west, or melted on the spot. There are always traces of light and dark effects of sword energy, and the wonder of movement and transformation lies in one mind. Although the sword circle has been destroyed, the sword intention has become more perfect and flawless.
Finally, Yu Ci felt light all over and escaped from the fighting circle of real monks.
The sharp change in the pressure difference between the inside and outside made all his internal organs almost burst. The blood that had been accumulated for a long time finally spurted out, not only between his mouth and nose, but also everywhere on his body, turning him into a **** man in an instant. .
The appearance is terrible, but his spirit is surprisingly strong and his eyes are shining. Under the drastic changes, he was still unable to stop the blood boiling. A trace of innate vitality was extracted and transformed into the most refined and pure Zhensha, which was injected drop by drop; like a cloud of steaming clouds, it penetrated into the muscles, bones, skin and flesh. , in a blink of an eye, the body has recovered greatly, but the cost is at least three to five years of life.
Yu Ci clenched her fists, feeling the vigorous power within her body. Now that the cultivation level has increased by another 10%, and the return elixir will be formed in the future, the advantages of the same level should become more and more obvious, but it must be formed successfully!
At this time, Shadow Ghost's thoughts came in: "Hey, are you interested in becoming a swordsman?"
"Huh?" Yu Ci was surprised, "What do you mean?"
"It's rare. Under the high pressure just now, your mixed sword intention has become purified again. Although it will never reach the highest level, it can be dealt with in ordinary situations. If you are willing, within three days, you can maintain your sword power. Your sword has just formed, as for your subsequent practice..."
Yu Ci was excited: "Flying Immortal Sword Sutra?"
"You can dream!" Shadow Ghost sneered: "If you want to practice the Flying Immortal Sword Sutra, you have no hope in this life! But there is no problem with some superior methods extended from it. Sword cultivation is the fastest to improve, and you have a good foundation. As long as the methods are effective, It is not impossible to catch Bu Xu within thirty years. At that time, there will be a great opportunity to make up for the longevity."
"Forget it."
Yu Ci shook his head simply. It was undeniable that he was very moved, but it was a big taboo to be hesitant and unfocused on the way to practice. If he could practice the Feixian Sword Sutra, a swordsman classic, he would still be able to give it a try. If it were someone else, , the input-output is not proportional.
After all, there is only one step left before Tianyuan's natal golden talisman is first formed, isn't it?
Ying Gui laughed and said no more. In fact, he had a plan in mind just now. If Yu Ci takes the path of sword cultivation, not to mention his achievements in life, he will rely on it for guidance to a large extent. So The chance of turning over will be greatly increased. But Yu Ci doesn't follow Tao'er, and he can't talk too much to arouse suspicion. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.
Yu Ci has come to a conclusion, and his mind is relieved, and his thoughts naturally diverge. Suddenly he thinks of those swordsmanship secrets that Yinggui poured into him when the situation was critical. Problems, even overlooked areas that were not known to be problems, become clear. This causes the Qi machine to rotate and change, from the inside to the outside, just like washing it with clean water, which is of great benefit.
Swordsmanship practice is indeed more direct than talismans, but unfortunately...
At this thought, the ground above suddenly became silent, and the stacked high pressure slowly recovered. For a long time, no new impact was added.
The battle is over?
