Reincarnation under the Saber!
The meaning of this move was simple.
No matter who you were or how strong an expert you were, reincarnate under this saber!
Ling Xiaozui was shocked once again.
Logically speaking, even if it was a peak expert in the world, when faced with the unparalleled viciousness of the Inverted Blood River, the Blood World's Progenitor, eighty to ninety percent of the time, the priority would be to defend, and at most leave a bit of strength to defend and counterattack.
Ling Xiaozui, however, had an experienced eye. He had seen through the move before it could be countered. Not only had he hidden an attack within a defense, he had also laid down a space for counterattack. Once the opponent's attack was over, he would use the buffer space he had left to launch a counterattack. It was a marvelous counterattack.
Despite such a marvelous counterattack, it was still within the prediction of the creator of Saber Truth: Destiny Blade. Before the Inverted River of Blood reached its end, a peculiar whirlpool had manifested and formed an eerie aura field that separated both of them, causing Ling Xiaozui's subsequent plan to fall through.
If he had continued with his original plan and launched a pursuit now, he would have fallen into this peculiar aura field and be restrained. The loss outweighed the gain.
It was also at the moment the aura field was formed that Yun Yang's saber made a comeback, reversing the aura field and forming a new wave of counterattack. It was a marvelous saber technique that predicted the enemy's every move. It was marvelous!
Even with Ling Xiaozui's many years of battle experience, he could quickly tell that no one could escape the range of the saber, no matter who it was that faced this move. Only by resisting it with one's true cultivation base could one hope to escape!
However, resisting it was equivalent to facing a strange, contradictory aura field at the same time. How could one know the direction of the attacker's saber and where the tip of the saber that controlled the aura would land?
In fact, this was the greatest danger of this move.
Ling Xiaozui howled, his body spinning rapidly. Not being able to break the technique did not mean that he had to take it on passively. Using his spinning speed and dense sword energy, Ling Xiaozui constructed sword mountains that protected him from the wind and rain!
This was the best way to neutralize the opponent's attack with the purest and tightest defense, and it could even be said to be the best way to break the current attack. However, there was a precondition, and that was that the opponent had to have a much higher cultivation than the attacker!
Such a passive and extreme defense would definitely consume far more of his cultivation than his opponent. If their cultivations were the same, it would be impossible for him to completely withstand this move!
To put it more clearly, the Defender relied on his great strength to deal with things. He was strong enough to defeat ten people!
Dugu Chou, who was watching from the side, had his eyes widened.
Ling Xiaozui had suppressed his ability to a level similar to Yun Yang's, yet he was already at a disadvantage within a few moves.
It had only been four moves and Ling Xiaozui was already forced to elevate his realm to deal with it.
"I can't believe there's such a mystical saber skill in this world!"
Dugu Chou watched from the side. As the saying went, the onlooker had a clearer view of the situation. Putting himself in Ling Xiaozui's shoes, he wondered if there was any other way to deal with this move other than using Ling Xiaozui's method. As his thoughts raced, he had to admit that there was no other way to deal with it. Any other way would only put him in a more disadvantageous position and hasten his own defeat!
Besides, after witnessing it with his own eyes, if he were to go up and face the same move again, he would have no other way to deal with it!
"This saber skill is truly marvelous. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there's more than one such marvelous technique!"
Dugu Chou sighed as he watched and studied. Each of Yun Yang's saber skills was marvelous, filled with contradictions and impossibilities, but it was also because of this that they were the most perfect embodiment.
After all, was it not perfection to have contradictions and impossibilities?
Dugu Chou stared unblinkingly at Yun Yang's way of wielding his saber. To his surprise, he realized that each form and style of Destiny Blade contained more than ten, twenty or even more methods of channeling energy and qi.
All of the methods of circulating qi and circulating breath were operating in a way that defied common sense, yet they also carried a certain set of rules.
If one or a few of them were to be forcefully operated, the practitioner's meridians would only explode and he would die without a doubt. However, with the dozens of Qi Channeling methods before him, it formed an unusually unique cycle. Not only was it harmless, it was beneficial instead!
It was such a Qi Channeling method that increased the power of the technique by several folds!
"The person who created this saber skill is definitely not human!" Dugu Chou was filled with reverence. "It's God!"
If it wasn't for God's wisdom and understanding, how could he have created a flawless saber technique that should not belong to the mortal world?
With a soft clang, Ling Xiaozui's sword and Yun Yang's saber finally clashed.
When the offensive move could not be retracted and the defensive move was flawless, the final result would be a clash of weapons, a decisive battle of strength!
Ling Xiaozui did not exert his strength forcefully as the saber and sword clashed. He took three steps back, the sword in his hand swaying to protect his entire body. He was still defending while attacking, his defense impenetrable. His aura did not diminish, but grew instead as he was ready to strike.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yang's body had floated a hundred feet into the air, borrowing the force of the recoil.
Then, the tip of the saber pointed downwards and the blade swung horizontally, falling from the sky. There was not the slightest hint of smoke or fire, like the wind from the nine heavens, blowing into the mortal world soundlessly!
If one did not feel it carefully, one would not even be able to feel the breeze.
Perhaps, it should be said that when one could not feel it, this gentle breeze had already blown through the mountains and rivers, blowing through the mortal world!
It was silent and gentle!
The breeze was gentle but it was everywhere, not a village!
"That's right, this is … Wind Beyond the Sky!" Yun Yang's clear voice rang out amidst the saber light.
Ling Xiaozui's expression was unprecedentedly cautious.
As he drew his sword, the materialized sword light at the tip of the sword grew another three feet. It was as if he was facing a formidable enemy; he was giving it his all, displaying his lifetime's worth!
Ling Xiaozui understood very well that although the gentle breeze that caressed one's face looked gentle and harmless, it could actually turn into lightning and thunder at any time, turning into a violent storm!
However, there was still the same problem … one would never know when the wind would change. It could be at the next moment, or at any time!
This was the most fatal and unsolvable problem!
