Bai Yu could clearly see that the blade had already sliced through the hairs on the surface of Su Zimo's skin. If it had advanced by an inch, the latter's throat would have been slit.
However, the slash still missed.
It was a hair's breadth away!
The strangest thing was that Su Zimo did not open his eyes throughout the entire process.
This dodging action seemed to have been done subconsciously!
Su Zimo lowered his gaze like an old monk in meditation, immersed in his own world and oblivious to everything in the outside world.
"You still want to comprehend the Dao?"
Bai Yu sneered and no longer concealed the killing intent in his heart. Channeling his bloodline, his spirit saber buzzed and shone brightly with spirit light as he released his full strength and slashed towards Su Zimo.
The slash was extremely fast and arrived almost instantly!
Swash!
Su Zimo's expression was unchanged and his eyes were still closed. His figure drifted like a willow and he dodged Bai Yu's murderous slash once more!
"Hmm?"
Bai Yu frowned.
He truly could not understand Su Zimo's current state.
Su Zimo's eyes were closed and he could not see the trajectory of the saber because he could not see.
There was no time for him to dodge if he relied on his hearing to judge the sound of the wind. However, Su Zimo managed to dodge it just like that.
If the first time was a coincidence, avoiding two consecutive slashes …
"You can dodge? Let's see how long you can dodge! "
Bai Yu strode forward and his saber trembled, emitting a faint blood stench that enveloped Su Zimo.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Bai Yu slashed continuously and released his sect's secret manual, Shura Saber. Each slash was fatal and relentless. Furthermore, the angles of his attacks were extremely tricky!
Even in that situation, Su Zimo did not open his eyes and retreated continuously.
However, as time passed by, Su Zimo's space to dodge decreased and he was gradually enveloped by Bai Yu's saber techniques, sealing off his path of retreat!
The exchange between the two of them confused the surrounding cultivators.
To be precise, this was not considered a fight because one of them had not attacked the entire time and had been dodging the entire time.
"This person has guts. He's actually still comprehending the Dao. He really doesn't want his life anymore!"
"This person's eyes are clearly closed, but he seems to be able to sense danger. It's as if he has opened his Third Eye!"
"How did he do it?"
In everyone's eyes, it was as if Su Zimo had some kind of keen sense for danger and could calmly dodge.
In reality, Su Zimo was currently in a half-awake state.
Just as Bai Yu attacked him, his spiritual perception had already alerted him. Su Zimo could completely wake up from his state of enlightenment.
But this opportunity was too rare.
Su Zimo felt that he was just a little bit away from touching the secrets of 'Force'!
Therefore, Su Zimo forcibly ignored the interference of the outside world. He only relied on his sharp spiritual sense to subconsciously make dodging movements while he continued to comprehend wholeheartedly.
This was an extremely dangerous and crazy move.
If anything went wrong, Su Zimo would die on the spot. No matter what he comprehended, it would be useless.
It was only because he had cleared seven orifices and cultivated to lesser mastery of the Orifice Clearing section that his strength and speed had increased that he could hold out against the attacks of the fiend heir of Shura Sect for such a long time.
However, he would definitely lose if he defended for a long time.
Bai Yu's saber technique was getting sharper and the blood stench of his saber was getting heavier. Su Zimo's space was shrinking continuously and he could only dodge within an extremely narrow area.
The situation was critical!
However, he had yet to comprehend the secrets of 'Force'.
Su Zimo had to make a choice!
All of a sudden!
A thought flashed through Su Zimo's mind.
Bai Yu's attacks were like undercurrents at the bottom of the sea that came wave after wave in an endless manner.
Su Zimo recalled how he struggled to advance at the bottom of the sea and fought against the undercurrents. Gradually, he was enlightened.
Countercurrent stance.
The essence of that stance was mainly in the word 'reverse'.
What was' reverse '?
Cultivators who wanted to attain the Dao as a mortal and break free from the shackles of Heaven and Earth, that was reverse!
Reverse meant that one would not retreat and would advance bravely!
Su Zimo had been going against the current the entire time!
Back in Ping Yang Town, his knees did not bend and his spine did not collapse against the bullying of Perfected Being Cang Lang – that was his reverse!
Reverse meant that one had great courage and was fearless!
In reality, everything that happened in Ping Yang Town back then could not have escaped Die Yue's senses.
If Su Zimo had chosen to kneel down and submit back then …
Die Yue would have only killed Perfected Being Cang Lang and resolved the karma between her and Su Zimo before leaving.
It was because of Su Zimo's reverse that he gained Die Yue's recognition and was able to change his fate!
Fate could only be changed by defying the heavens!
One had to be able to defy the heavens to have the right to change their fate!
Defy to become an immortal.
Reverse meant that one was unyielding and did not retreat. It was fearless, unyielding and invincible!
Countercurrent was a reversal of the situation!
At that moment, Su Zimo could no longer avoid or retreat.
When he saw that, Bai Yu's eyes flashed with delight as he laughed menacingly. "You can't hide anymore, right? Hand over your life! "
Swoosh!
The saber in Bai Yu's hands slashed forward and there were layers of saber shadows. Blood qi filled the air and the stench of blood filled the air!
All of a sudden!
Su Zimo opened his eyes.
His eyes were like crystals in the deep sea, clear and bright, shimmering with a mysterious glint.
There was no panic or fear.
The moment he caught sight of those eyes, Bai Yu felt a sense of uneasiness.
Unknowingly, a blood-colored saber appeared in Su Zimo's hands, perhaps when he opened his eyes.
The saber was gigantic and shone with five bedazzling spirit lights!
"Countercurrent!"
Su Zimo said indifferently and waved his hands.
Swoosh!
As Blood Quencher was waved, the sound of a tide surging against the current could be heard from the saber!
Initially, Bai Yu's aura was domineering and he had the upper hand. However, with that slash, the situation between the two of them reversed!
A torrential force that could break through the seas burst forth from Blood Quencher's blade and crushed over like a tidal wave!
Instantly, all of Bai Yu's saber shadows dissipated.
The blood stench from the saber was washed away by the invisible tide as well.
In the face of that might, Bai Yu's saber technique appeared extremely crude and could not withstand a single blow!
"Saber force!"
Bai Yu's eyes widened in shock.
How was that possible?
Ever since he entered Shura Sect at the age of five, he had been practicing his saber.
He had been immersed in the Dao of the saber for dozens of years and had only reached the peak of Level 1 of the saber technique – he had yet to come into contact with the secrets of force.
The person before him had only cultivated his saber technique for 10 days and yet, he had already comprehended saber force!
In the face of saber force, no matter how intricate a saber technique was, it would only be superficial.
The two sabers collided.
Clang!
Bai Yu shuddered and his face turned incomparably pale. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he was sent flying weakly with a dim gaze.
Psst!
The surrounding cultivators were in an uproar!
A single slash!
Initially, Bai Yu had the upper hand. However, in the blink of an eye, Su Zimo opened his eyes and sent the fiend heir of Shura Sect flying with a single slash!
