With the addition of Li Mei who was literally culling the soldiers, Jian Shen knew that he wouldn't be able to train himself no matter how slowly he killed his enemies.
Therefore, he chose to rather train the new technique Qingyu had taught him to increase his control over the Intents of Heaven and Earth.
Jumping up high, Jian Shen loosened his grip on the swords and took a moment to calm himself.
The next instant, he once again took hold of the swords but no they were no longer in reverse grip but in the same way he normally held them.
Falling face-first towards the floor with the Myriad God Sword in his right hand in front of him and the Sword of Despair held to the side, Jian Shen didn't actually attack anyone when he landed on the ground.
Instead, after his feet touched the ground Jian Shen began moving as if he was possessed by a ghost and completely ignored the soldiers who were standing right beside him and we're looking at him with wide eyes.
Moving gracefully with every step he took, Jian Shen looked like he was... Dancing?
Waving his swords which had a lot of strength behind them, Jian Shen hadn't managed to hit a single enemy since he started doing this but there wasn't the slightest frustration on his face as he continued moving in the same way.
The original fear and confusion from Jian Shen suddenly moving like this soon disappeared from the soldiers due to which they started to launch attacks on him.
What was weird about the dance Jian Shen was doing other than not hitting any targets, was how no one was able to attack him either.
Whenever it seemed like their attack would just land on him, Jian Shen's body would move in a mysterious way and barely miss the attack allowing him to remain unscathed.
No matter how many were attacking from how many sides, not a single one of their attacks had landed on Jian Shen whose speed was visibly picking up alongside how long he kept on dancing.
Soon the soldiers could see gales of winds supporting Jian Shen from his back to increase his movement speed.
No, it wasn't the wind that was supporting Jian Shen. Jian Shen himself was turning into the wind?
Either way, it wasn't just Jian Shen's movement speed which increased but there was something special happening around his swords as well.
The original white and black sword still remained the same, but starting from their tips an extension of the sword appeared in the form of a blade made out of wind that increased the sword's range.
The Dance of the Wind God.
It wasn't a technique which directly increased Jian Shen's power, speed, or anything else. And no it wasn't an auxiliary technique which amplified any aspect of Jian Shen as soon as he used it.
The Dance of the Wind God was a technique which increased Jian Shen's speed depending on how long he could dance with being stopped, and the range of his swords would also be increased alongside his speed.
This technique wasn't something which was created to help the one who used it in a one on one fight, but instead to increase the cultivator's strength by a lot beforehand and allow them to fight against a large army by themselves.
Unfortunately, due to the major limitation of the boosted capabilities not lasting for a long time not many cultivators trained in this particular technique.
The only reason Qingyu had thought Jian Shen this technique wasn't to increase his strength or anything, but allow him to increase his control over the Intent of Wind which needed to be perfect if he wanted to use this technique.
Continuing the use of the Dance of the Wind God for as long possible, Jian Shen who was still unscathed finally stopped using it when he felt that the boost he received was enough.
With his speed having been increased by 8 times and the range of his swords by 4 times, Jian Shen saw that Li Mei had already taken care of half of the army leaving only the other half still alive.
Now that he stopped using the Dance of the Wind God, Jian Shen could use the other techniques as well.
Using the Wings of Kun Peng to further increase his speed, Jian Shen slashed his sword to the side which like usual didn't kill a single enemy but split a total of six soldiers into two halves.
At the same time, he used the sword in his left hand to slash all around himself and killed almost eighteen soldiers at the same time.
"What the... "
Seeing this, not just the soldiers who were attacking and Xue Ling who was watching, but even Jian Shen who had attacked them was also stunned.
Did he manage to do this from just dancing around?
Blinking his eyes in surprise, Jian Shen who could already feel the boost he obtained from the Dance of the Wind God fading a little by little due to which he focussed on eliminating as many enemies as possible before the boost ended.
Moving around non stop, Jian Shen managed to even surprise Li Mei who had turned to see how he was performing by how fast he was moving and killing so many soldiers by simply waving his swords around.
Other than using that technique which increased his speed, Jian Shen didn't seem to be using any other technique from the outside but how could anyone explain the number of soldiers he was killing by the second if he wasn't using any other technique?
