Chapter 277: The Sword Is Fast and Sound Is Near (3rd Update)
An old man with a special appearance stood at the entrance of the fourth floor staircase. His hair was gray, and his arms were much longer than those of a normal person, hanging down to his knees, like a monkey, with distinct joints on his hands, like sculptures.
Meng Qi sensed that he had true energy radiating from his body, forming a protective qi outside his body. He was a master with all nine orifices opened. However, his protective qi had distinct strengths and weaknesses, and there were many flaws in the flow of true energy. All the power was concentrated in his hands. His strengths and weaknesses were obvious at a glance. He was half a step behind Xiao Yue, and it seemed that he had opened his nine orifices after years of hard work.
"If you can repel me, you can go upstairs." The old man said briefly, and his attitude did not change because Meng Qi had passed through each level.
Meng Qi still did not pull out the wound of heaven, and stretched out his scabbard and sword: "Please."
The old man punched from a strange angle, and several joints could move freely. The punches seemed hard, but some of the true energy was restrained and gathered in the shoulders and back, as if he could change his moves unexpectedly at any time.
All this was clearly reflected in Meng Qi's mind, and he could not hide it at all. He stretched out his long sword, attacked and defended at the same time, and slashed at the old man's chest as fast as thunder.
The angle of this sword was cleverly chosen, and the timing was appropriate. It was a blow that the old man could not avoid no matter how he changed his hidden true energy. Moreover, the sword's momentum was mixed, the energy was restrained, and it was difficult to distinguish between hardness and softness. It seemed that both yin and yang were contained in it.
The old man had to punch the long sword back. The true energy wrapped around the fist could blast gold and break stones, and he was not afraid.
A muffled sound broke out, and the old man hit the blade. The energy was released, but he felt weak and unresponsive, like a mud cow entering the sea.
Softness turned into hardness, yin turned into yang, and the long sword suddenly burst out with surging internal force, mixed with the old man's own fist strength, and rushed towards the old man with an indestructible masculine posture.
Under the dual effects of the Immortal Seal and the Yin-Yang Triple Sword Move, and the terrible weight of the "Heavenly Wound", the old man's protective Qi was broken, and the whole person seemed to be pushed by a pair of big hands, stepping back to the edge of the wall. Every step back, a hole was stepped on the floor.
Meng Qi did not pursue, holding the long sword upside down, nodded and said: "Thank you."
After that, he kept walking and climbed the stairs to the fifth floor.
"It was still one sword!"
Exclamations rang out. Although the people in the lobby could no longer see the situation of the fight, the people queuing and watching outside the building could still see the battle at the staircase clearly through the special design of the Hero Building. Of course, the premise is that they have outstanding eyesight.
"Four consecutive battles, all with only one sword, even against the Nine Apertures, it's really terrible..."
This is really incredible to them. Always defeating the enemy with one sword is mostly only in the mouths of storytellers. Who has ever thought that they can encounter it in reality?
"All attack, no defense, win by force, worthy of being called a mad sword!"
Similar praises came one after another, and Meng Qi's mouth twitched. It is easy to be evaluated like this when using a sword!
At the same time, they naturally compared with another master on the human list who had just passed through the Hero Building:
"How many moves did the 'Five-Direction Emperor Sword' use the day before yesterday?"
"Three moves..."
"Could it be that the 'Mad Sword' will beat him?"
"Not necessarily, perhaps because of the styles of both sides, Taoist Qingyu's swordsmanship is majestic and majestic, and he suppresses people with a dignified momentum, with the noble and solemn aura of the Five Directions and Five Emperors, while Su Meng's swordsmanship is fierce and unparalleled, known for his wild and brute force, and is good at attacking and fighting hard. It is normal to have different results." Someone commented objectively.
Objective is weird! Meng Qi wanted to hit the ground with his head. Everyone practiced swordsmanship, why is he noble and majestic, while he is wild and brute force?
While thinking, Meng Qi turned the corner and saw the man guarding the entrance to the fifth floor.
He looked young, in his early thirties, with a restrained aura and a cold expression. Standing there, he looked like a long sword with a sheath, sharp as a knife, but hidden underneath. If he didn't make a sound, he would be amazing. If he didn't make a sound, he would kill the enemy.
Meng Qi straightened his back subconsciously. As soon as the "Aurora Electric Sword" Xiao Zhenhai met him, he gave him a sense of oppression. This was a struggle of qi and a confrontation of spirits. He was worthy of being a former master of the human list.
His spirit was half extended to the blade and half released. Through the skills of the Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Great Method, the senses of people suddenly changed. It seemed to form a harmonious whole with the surrounding environment, and it was inseparable from the curvature of the stairs, the number of steps, and the autumn wind blowing by. It was perfectly integrated and excluded Xiao Zhenhai, the only one who didn't belong there.
The discussion below stopped immediately. Just now, Meng Qi defeated the enemy with one move. With their eyes, they naturally couldn't see the difference between each move. They only knew that "Crazy Blade" Su Meng was very strong. He also defeated the nine-orifice master with one sword. As for how strong he was and to what extent, they couldn't say. At most, they were amazed.
And now, Meng Qi gave them the most intuitive feeling. His momentum was amazing, and he felt mysterious. There was charm in his every move, as if he was about to merge with the heaven and earth.
This is a master, a true master! Such a feeling emerged in everyone's heart.
However, this was just the momentum that Meng Qi forcibly simulated with his spirit and the method of changing the sky and striking the earth. It was still a long way from the real sympathy and unity of heaven and man. This could not be compensated by qualifications and talents. The nine orifices must be opened at the same time, the inner scene must be completed, and by adjusting the inner world, it can gradually resonate with the outer world, so that it can be truly felt, touched, and expressed.
Before the nine orifices, Meng Qi was limited by his own realm and could only deepen the degree of imitation and add a little power in this state.
Looking at Meng Qi like this, Xiao Zhenhai was finally moved, because he had a feeling that as long as he drew his sword, he would be rejected by the world, which was like being hostile to that environment. The sword in his heart became hesitant, and the hidden sharpness slowly faded.
Meng Qi stepped on the stairs step by step, getting closer and closer to Xiao Zhenhai, and in Xiao Zhenhai's eyes, the figure of "Crazy Blade" Su Meng became taller and taller, from far to near, filling his sight.
No, I can't wait any longer... Xiao Zhenhai is not a person who has gained fame in vain. He really realized in his heart that if he hesitated any longer, he really didn't need to draw his sword. Crazy Blade's momentum alone would be enough to crush him.
This is not a joke. When masters fight, the qi pulls. If the momentum of Crazy Blade accumulates to the highest peak, and the sword in his heart is suppressed and can't lift its head, then even if he makes a move, he can't exert 50% of his strength, and end up like the people downstairs!
Xiao Zhenhai was once a master on the Human Ranking. He was proud and proud. With a clear whistle, the world inside him was running, strengthening the sword in his heart. The sword energy was surging and the fighting spirit was rising rapidly.
Taking advantage of this momentum, he forced his sword out.
This sword was like a thunderbolt out of thin air. It was so fast that the people below could only see the flash of light and could not find the sword at all. It was so fast that Meng Qi's eyes, which had been amplified by the Eight or Nine Mysterious Arts, could only barely catch the shadow of the sword.
The sword had passed, and the sound was just shaking. In a trance, there was actually a bit of such a feeling!
Xiao Zhenhai's nickname "Aurora Electric Sword" was to describe how fast he drew his sword. He practiced fast sword all his life. He did not have too exquisite moves, nor did he learn the unique skills of the external scene. He relied on the word "fast" to gain a foothold in the martial arts world and climb onto the Human Ranking.
Once he fought with someone, both sides attacked at the same time. His sword had reached the opponent's throat, and the opponent's long sword had just been raised. The Aurora Electric Sword was evident!
So fast! The people outside the Hero Building had no time to make a sound, and could only have similar thoughts flashing in their minds.
The sword is faster than the sound, which is not just a description. Even if Xiao Zhenhai cannot reach it now, he will surpass it sooner or later when his internal and external powers merge and become the external scene!
The knife light flashed, like silver-white lightning, and it was also too fast to see clearly. It only took a moment to split the sea and split the river!
What a fast knife! Everyone thought of this again. "Kuang Dao" is indeed a master who has mastered many kinds of sword arts. The word "fast" is no less than others!
Dang!
The swords of both sides hit each other, and the sound was crisp and spread far away, like the sound of a temple bell.
This was the first time Meng Qi drew his sword since he broke into the Hero Building. He almost blocked Xiao Zhenhai's electric sword.
He broke out in a layer of white sweat on his back. He almost lost his hand just now. He made a rare mistake in judgment!
Xiao Zhenhai had not yet reached the level of hiding the flow of his true qi and muscle reactions, nor did he have any magical skills that would allow his true qi and muscles to change strangely, quickly, or full of deception. Meng Qi had already judged how he was going to attack through the mental knowledge of the enemy, the true qi to check the enemy, and the theory of the Dugu Nine Swords. There was no secret at all.
But what Meng Qi did not expect was that Xiao Zhenhai's swordsmanship was so fast that he almost couldn't react in time. Compared with "fast", even though he had mastered the essence of the sword, he had not practiced for a long time, and was still a moment slower than Xiao Zhenhai. In addition, he almost failed to block it because he attacked later!
As expected, every famous master has his own merits!
Xiao Zhenhai used the power of the long sword to prepare to attack again, and the sword was faster than the other, not giving the "mad sword" a chance to breathe, but as soon as he moved his wrist, he saw Su Meng's strangely shaped long sword slashing at him. If he swung the sword according to his original plan, it would be equivalent to giving his wrist to the blade.
Even with the protection of the Qi, Xiao Zhenhai did not dare to test the sharpness of Meng Qi's sword. He changed the route of the Qi flow, shook his wrist, and planned to stab.
But Meng Qi's long sword seemed to have anticipated it. It slashed halfway and suddenly slashed down, still aiming at Xiao Zhenhai's wrist.
Xiao Zhenhai's face changed slightly, and he changed his moves again, but he couldn't use one move after another. The opponent always came after him and rushed before he could draw his sword, forcing him to change his moves.
Meng Qi's heart was like a mirror, reflecting Xiao Zhenhai's Qi flow and muscle reaction. Starting from the unchanging rules and heights of the swordsmanship contained in the Dugu Nine Swords, he used the sword to break the sword, and attacked after each move.
Aren't you a fast sword near the sound? I really can't compare, but I can make you unable to draw your sword!
The heroes queuing and watching downstairs of the Hero Building were dumbfounded and speechless. When has the "Aurora Electric Sword" been attacked so hard that it couldn't even draw its sword?
It seems that "Calculating All Lives" has done it!
Can the Mad Blade Su Meng do this? This is simply unbelievable!
After seven consecutive moves, Xiao Zhenhai could no longer change, and could only sidestep to avoid the knife, watching the "Mad Blade" Su Meng pass by and climb the stairs.
He also had a killer move that he had figured out, but he suppressed the impulse after all. He had a killer move, but didn't the "Mad Blade" have one? His famous Ananda Breaking Precepts Sword Technique was the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Unless he attacked by surprise, he had no chance of winning.
Putting away the long sword, Xiao Zhenhai's expression became lonely. It was not a happy thing for a swordsman who was famous for his fast sword to be unable to use his sword when attacked by others. He felt discouraged, depressed, and painful.
When Meng Qi was about to reach the fifth floor, he looked back at Xiao Zhenhai below, shook his head and sighed: "What a pity."
If he had a fundamental magical skill that matched his swordsmanship, he would not have been able to see through his attack pattern so easily. It's a pity that he is a rare martial arts cultivator, otherwise he would not have been unable to break through the life and death barrier. This may be the main reason why he was recruited by the owner of the Hero Building.
"It's a pity for Xiao Zhenhai." Someone upstairs said.
This is a young Taoist priest with high eyebrows and thin lips. He looks gentle, but he is arrogant and reserved. In front of him is a sword that is neither long nor short. The scabbard is dark purple and decorated with "stars".
In Meng Qi's perception, he is majestic and upright, as if he lives above the nine heavens. The flow of his true energy is like smoke and fog, which is difficult to detect.
