Capítulo 107: Chapter 107: Striving for Life from Death
...
Such fast swordplay!
The two invisible sword energies came slashing towards Sword Douluo, leaving him somewhat astonished. As a master of the sword, he naturally knew that this wasn't a soul skill, but rather the manifestation of reaching a certain level of sword cultivation. This sword energy attack could be achieved solely through technique.
The Realm of Sword Qi!
Sword Douluo had immersed himself in the way of the sword his entire life, so he naturally understood the divisions within the way of the sword. The achievements of the way of the sword were divided into several realms.
Cut Steel, Sword Qi, Sword Intent, Empty Self, and Unity of Heaven and Man. These five realms were the divisions of sword Dao in his view.
Cut Steel represented the ability to use a sword and easily cut through tough steel. Sword Qi, on the other hand, referred to the ability to slash out sword energy from thin air, which was even more difficult than cutting steel. In the Douluo Continent, among those who used swords, very few could reach this realm. This was because Sword Qi wasn't generated by borrowing soul power; it was a manifestation of the realm of sword Dao. Nowadays, most sword soul masters relied on soul power and soul skills for their attacks, and very few had the dedication to comprehend the way of the sword, let alone reach the realm of Sword Qi.
As for the realm of Sword Intent, its name spoke for itself. Intent referred to the opponent's spirit and the ability to sever the opponent's spirit with sword intent, completely suppressing the opponent in terms of momentum, mental state, and technique, making them feel fear. This could be considered a spiritual realm. People who reached this realm were already sword Dao grandmasters. Sword Douluo knew that the number of people who had reached this realm was less than ten.
As for the remaining two realms, Empty Self and Unity of Heaven and Man, they could not be reached through mere cultivation. They required enlightenment! They were realms that couldn't be described in words.
To be able to reach the Realm of Sword Qi at such a young age, it was evident that this youth possessed extraordinary talent in the way of the sword. Perhaps he could break through that realm and go further.
What would that realm be like?
As sword energy and strong winds swept over, Sword Douluo's pure white long hair and clothes fluttered. His expression remained calm and composed as he waved his palm and revealed a silver long sword. The sword was four feet and three inches long, three inches wide, and had a hilt that was one foot and two inches long. It was called Seven Kills.
With a sharp gaze, Sword Douluo wielded the Seven Kills sword horizontally and unleashed an invisible, broad sword energy that clashed with the two sword energies from Zeng Yi. Instantly, these two sword energies were easily shattered like paper. The huge sword energy carried a sharp and fierce momentum, continuing to slash towards the charging Zeng Yi.
Although Sword Douluo didn't use soul power and only relied on sword techniques to attack Zeng Yi, the gap between them was still immense.
With a flick of his silver eyes, Zeng Yi quickly unleashed several pale blue sword energies using his Sword. These sword energies formed a net of sword energy in the air, accompanied by dozens of wind blades. Fierce winds howled, and the sword intent was chilling as they all collided with the huge sword energy.
The clash of sword energies caused a series of thunderous rumbles in the space, and the strong energy impact turned into endless sharp gusts, raging in all directions. The scene became chaotic, as if it had been cleansed by a tornado.
Sword Douluo waved his hand, pushing Yan Que and Xiao Ju several meters away with his soul power, forming a protective barrier around them. Meanwhile, the blade in his right hand blocked Zeng Yi, who charged out from the dust, slashing towards himself.
A clear clash of steel resounded as the sword and blade collided, sparking a shower of sparks from the friction.
Seven Kills clashed with Ronin Sword, the sharp sword intent filling the entire area. It seemed to be comparing which was the ultimate sword martial soul.
"To be able to contend with Seven Kills Sword, this martial soul is not simple."
This thought quickly disappeared in his mind. Sword Douluo's Seven Kills Sword trembled with momentum, and a strong killing intent surged out. The bloodthirsty killing intent momentarily stunned Zeng Yi's consciousness, causing a brief hesitation. Sword Douluo seized this opportunity; his sword quickly turned and slashed towards Zeng Yi's chest.
In an instant, with his consciousness regaining clarity, Zeng Yi swiftly executed a forward slash, quickly retreating.
Zeng Yi's figure retreated ten meters, and a neat cut appeared on his chest, with warm liquid flowing out, staining his green garment red.
Although his reaction was swift, he was still scratched by the fierce sword energy.
Silver eyes gazed at the Sword Douluo standing before him, who still wore a faint smile on his face. His sharp gaze stared intently at Zeng Yi.
This person was holding back; he only relied on his sword skills to render Zeng Yi helpless and suppress him. This must be the pinnacle of the Way of the Sword.
Although he felt unwilling in his heart, what else could he do? Others were simply stronger than him!
But being able to spar with a master of the sword was already a great honor.
His excited and exhilarated emotions numbed his nerves, making Zeng Yi oblivious to the pain from the wound on his chest.
What a sword genius!
Sword Douluo looked at Zeng Yi, his eyes also filled with excitement. To be able to engage in a pure sword fight with another person was something he had not experienced in a long time.
This young man was very much to his liking.
With the joy of discovering his prey, Sword Douluo didn't wait for Zeng Yi to launch an attack but instead stepped forward and initiated an attack himself.
The Seven Kills Sword in his hand flickered with a chilling sword light as his figure quickly rushed towards Zeng Yi.
In the blink of an eye, the clash of blades resounded, and sparks filled the air as they exchanged blows for more than ten moves in an instant.
Zeng Yi's sword moves were fast, and his reactions were quick, but Sword Douluo's swordsmanship was more subtle, and his reflexes were faster. With every clash, Zeng Yi was heavily suppressed, appearing extremely disheveled.
With a loud sound, Zeng Yi was sent flying several meters away, falling to the ground.
Getting up from the ground, he gasped heavily, his clothes in tatters, and his body marked with several sword wounds. Fresh, red blood flowed from the wounds, and his long black hair was extremely unkempt, making him look extremely miserable.
At this moment, Zeng Yi's grip on the Ronin Sword's hilt trembled involuntarily. Not out of fear, but due to the fierce impact from blocking Sword Douluo's attacks.
From the smoke and dust, Sword Douluo walked out with his sword held in his right hand. His expression remained calm and composed, with no signs of disorder in his attire, as if he hadn't just experienced a battle.
"Is this your full strength?" Sword Douluo asked calmly, his sharp gaze fixed on Zeng Yi, the unstoppable aura continuing to pressurize him.
Zeng Yi didn't speak, but he raised Ronin Sword, pointing it at the man in front of him.
"Since that's the case, then go die." Sword Douluo's voice turned cold, and a strong killing intent chilled the surrounding temperature.
Although he said that, he didn't intend to kill Zeng Yi, otherwise, where could he find such an excellent disciple?
In fact, Zeng Yi's performance so far had already satisfied him. After all, even without using soul power, he could kill a Soul King with just his sword skills. Yet Zeng Yi managed to hold on until now, which was beyond his expectations.
Indeed, he was worthy of being someone capable of killing a Soul King with the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor.
But he still wanted to know, in the face of desperation, how strong would his future disciple be able to explode with?
"Heh, it's not over yet."
Zeng Yi smiled faintly, determination gleaming in his eyes. He tightly gripped the hilt of Ronin Sword, activating all of his soul power. A fierce sword surge soared into the sky, and the three soul rings on his body radiated intense light. Among them, the sole yellow soul ring shone brighter than the two purple soul rings.
~Sword of Selflessness: Extreme!~
In an instant, his body erupted with an even stronger soul power fluctuation, shaking the surroundings. Countless withered leaves instantly turned into powder due to the shockwaves. The next moment, the soul power fluctuation dissipated instantaneously, returning to nothingness.
Standing there alone, Zeng Yi's aura returned to calmness, like an ordinary person, as if merging with the heavens and the earth, and blending into this space.
This scene greatly shocked Sword Douluo's heart. This realm, could it be the Unity of Heaven and Man?
No, it's not the Unity of Heaven and Man. He must have used some kind of method to temporarily touch this realm.
Seeing Zeng Yi's fluctuating aura, which was unstable yet had disappeared, Sword Douluo confirmed this in his heart.
But even so, this is already remarkable!
Zeng Yi opened his tightly closed eyes in an instant. The original silver pupils held no vitality at this moment; even the pupils had disappeared, leaving only pure whiteness, empty and hollow.
This was Zeng Yi's final fatal blow, the strongest stance of the Second Soul Skill, Sword of Selflessness. By accelerating the burning of all his soul power, he could achieve a three hundred percent comprehensive amplification of all his abilities, a threefold increase that could be sustained for one second. However, after this second, Zeng Yi would lose all his mobility. In other words, if he couldn't kill his opponent, then he would face death. Moreover, even if he killed his opponent, someone else might take advantage of him.
This was an absolute desperate move!
Of course, Zeng Yi knew that even if he did this, he wouldn't be able to defeat a Titled Douluo. However, being able to unleash his strongest attack right before dying was already without regrets.
Although the duration of this move was short, one second was enough for a swordsman.
There was no time for hesitation; Zeng Yi's body immediately moved, and Ronin Sword shone with a dazzling sword light. With an unstoppable sharpness, his sword intent aimed to break through the sky. The wind blew silently but grew furious in an instant. It blew up fallen leaves and stirred up dust, accompanied by Zeng Yi and the fierce sword intent, all rushing towards Sword Douluo.
Striving for life from death!
