"I'm not very good at talking."
When Zhu Shiyao, like a shy little girl, said this sentence, Wang Lu inwardly sneered. Could it be that the next sentence is: What did I do to offend you that you f * cking want to hit me?
However, the next moment, Zhu Shiyao pulled out the sword from her waist, and the bewildered look on her face disappeared. Instead, a biting cold intent that was even more severe than ice spread out from her pair of eyes.
"Therefore, I will demonstrate it with a sword."
As soon as her voice fell, the world changed color.
In Wang Lu's eyes, the world suddenly turned into black and white. The distant mountains and rivers were shrouded behind a fuzzy colored glaze cover, no longer clear. Inside the glaze cover, a haze floated up. Even Liu Li, who was very close to him, seemed to have lost her vitality and turned into a dead thing. Between heaven and earth, only Zhu Shiyao and the ancient sword in her hand were still glowing with color.
Zhu Shiyao stood there with the sword in her hand. She and the sword gradually merged into one, emitting an incomparably sharp sword light. Everything around her was dimmed by the light. Wang Lu felt that it was gradually difficult to breathe, as if his heart was being held by an invisible force.
Just as Wang Lu shook his Jade Mansion and Void Core, trying to expel this indescribable abnormal feeling from his body, the sharp sword light suddenly became ten times more intense.
Wang Lu subconsciously narrowed his eyes, but because of the focus, his eyes became even sharper. Facing the intense sword light, he clearly saw the true appearance of the light … It was countless fragmented light that blended together, emitting a sword light as blazing as the sun. And this sword light was clearly … the Stellar Peak's secret technique, Stellar Sword Qi!? And looking at the momentum of this sword light, it was clearly coming for him!?
Wang Lu was inwardly shocked. He never thought that Zhu Shiyao would actually attack him in full view of the public. The power of this Stellar Sword Qi was enough to split the mountain and reverse the river, but now, without any concealment, it came whistling towards him!
Almost subconsciously, Wang Lu summoned his Sword of Mount Kun and reluctantly used his Non-Phase Sword Art to parry the incoming attack. His Three Feet Sword Defense unfolded, propping up an unbreakable defense.
However, in the next moment, Wang Lu felt a chill on his forehead. A speck of dust fell on his head like a cold star.
What!? The Three Feet Sword Defense was broken!? Wang Lu instinctively took half a step back in shock.
Huala!
As if he had stepped on a piece of glass, Wang Lu clearly heard a clear shattering sound. Then, thousands of crisscrossing cracks filled his vision, and the world of black and white collapsed.
What replaced it was still the colorful Four Divisions Peak. The floating clouds on the horizon were still lazily floating, and the mountain breeze still carried a trace of fresh fragrance. It was just that, the surrounding seemed exceptionally quiet.
The hundreds of disciples who were originally noisy were now silent. When Wang Lu looked at them, he saw that all of them maintained their retreating posture. Some of them even fell to the ground, their faces were stiff, and some of them had large beads of sweat on their faces … Thinking about it, the illusion of his skull being pierced by the Stellar Sword Qi just now was not unique to him.
Forcibly suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Wang Lu had figured out the principle of Zhu Shiyao's move.
This was Zhu Shiyao's demonstration. She couldn't speak, so the only way she could express it was with her sword. Her harvest from this trip to the Southern Heaven Region was all in that sword strike just now. That sword strike might be her own sword intent, or it might be an illusion that was amplified by a high-rank spiritual treasure. However, in short, under her sword strike, none of the hundreds of cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect could withstand it head on, even Wang Lu was no exception. The awe-inspiring might of the Big Sister of Spirit Sword Sect was undoubtedly revealed!
At this moment, there seemed to be thousands of thoughts turning in Wang Lu's mind, but he was at a loss. Perhaps it was just an illusion, but everything that he experienced was so real. In his mind, the scene of Zhu Shiyao's Stellar Sword Qi attack and him being unable to resist it took a long time to disappear. Wang Lu believed that if he really fought with Zhu Shiyao, the result would not be any different from the illusion. Even the world's strongest Non-Phase Sword Defense could not block that unpredictable Stellar Sword Qi.
At this time, when he recalled the confrontation just now, every moment was particularly clear. How he propped up his sword defense in the first place, and how that Stellar Sword Qi broke his defense … had already been deeply imprinted in his mind.
In terms of pure attack power, although Zhu Shiyao's Stellar Sword Qi was powerful, it was far inferior to Liu Li's Brilliant Sword Heart, the destructive power of the twelve flying swords combined into one. However, there was a trace of elusive profoundness in her Non-Phase Sword Defense. His own Non-Phase Sword Defense didn't have any flaw, yet it was directly pierced through, pierced through the non-existent flaw, and then came out.
This was obviously unreasonable, but compared to complaining about the reasonableness of it, it was better to find a plausible explanation. Wang Lu frowned and thought deeply about the reason. Unknowingly, time quickly slipped away.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Lu suddenly woke up. He saw that the crowd around him had gradually dispersed, and Zhu Shiyao herself had disappeared without a trace. Only some cultivators were still immersed in their thoughts like him.
The noisy onlookers' ceremony hurriedly came to an end. Although there were still unsolved doubts in his mind, Wang Lu also knew that now was not the time. He patted Liu Li beside him, ready to call her to leave.
However, he heard Liu Li softly snort. Her body leaned forward and was about to fall. Wang Lu hastily held her up. The girl's face was pale, and the corner of her mouth overflowed with blood. Unexpectedly, she suffered an internal injury!
Wang Lu recalled that just now, under Zhu Shiyao's sword strike, hundreds of disciples on the square retreated. Even he himself had to take half a step back. Some of the others even retreated more than ten steps … Only Liu Li, not only did she not retreat, she even withstood the pressure and took a step forward!
It's indeed fierce and valiant. Unfortunately, other people's minds were only affected by it. Only you were injured by the backlash of your magical power going astray. Why bother … Wang Lu sighed with emotion that Liu Li would always be Liu Li, but at the same time, he also felt distressed for the little girl's injury. He could no longer ponder over the mystery of Stellar Sword Qi and immediately stuffed an expensive healing pill into her mouth. Then, he took Liu Li back to the Brilliant Peak to see his Fourth Uncle Zhou Ming.
Seeing that Liu Li was injured, Zhou Ming didn't blame Wang Lu. He just frowned and sighed. "This child is still eager to win."
Wang Lu curiously asked, "Why do you say that?"
Zhou Ming explained, "Just now, when Yao 'Er stimulated her sword intent, do you understand the principle behind it?"
Wang Lu said, "Although I don't know the details, it should be a kind of illusion."
Zhou Ming corrected, "It's Stellar Diffraction Technique."
"Stellar Diffraction Technique also has this effect?" Wang Lu curiously asked, "Could it be that what I saw just now was the scene deduced by Stellar Diffraction Technique?"
Zhou Ming said, "Yes, the essence of Stellar Diffraction Technique is to see through the change of cause and effect, reflecting all kinds of possibilities in the future into your perception. Yao 'Er used her supreme sword intent to stimulate Stellar Diffraction Technique, and then the result was reflected in each of your hearts. Thus, in your eyes, it was as if you were really fighting with Yao' Er. "
Wang Lu clicked his tongue and said, "And then she couldn't even block one sword strike and was defeated... Big Sister is indeed Big Sister. As soon as she returned to the mountain, she couldn't wait to show everyone her strength."
Zhou Ming smiled and said, "You misunderstood her. She doesn't have such complicated thoughts. Senior Brother asked her to demonstrate the harvest of this experiential learning to you, and she just acted according to the order. This Extreme Diffraction Sword Language is her harvest in the Southern Heaven Sword Tomb. Before this experiential learning, she couldn't do it to this extent. Moreover, don't you think that being dragged into the illusion of Stellar Diffraction Technique by her sword language and personally experiencing her Stellar Soul Sword is also beneficial to your cultivation? "
"Hehe, it's okay." Wang Lu smiled and vaguely responded. Indeed, after Zhu Shiyao's sword defense was broken, he was shocked, and Wang Lu faintly realized that there seemed to be many details of the Non-Phase Sword Art that needed to be perfected. If it weren't for this sword, perhaps he wouldn't have discovered it.
"Yao 'Er is the Big Sister of Lingjian School, so she has the obligation to guide the cultivation of her fellow disciples. Since she's not good with words, she used her sword language to show off her cultivation base and also let her fellow disciples gain something. This is killing two birds with one stone." Zhou Ming said and somewhat helplessly looked at Liu Li, who was curled up on the bed to recuperate. "Unfortunately, this child Liu Li still can't let go."
Zhou Ming said and then sighed. "You've been with her for the longest time, so you should be able to see that although this child is naive and without scheming, she's not without ideas, just eating and waiting to die. She's very devout in the way of the sword, and she's also very persistent in every opponent in the way of the sword. These years, you've fought with her for more than a thousand times, so you should have a deep understanding. "
Wang Lu was silent.
Uncle Zhou Ming was right. No matter how cute and silly Liu Li usually was, once she held a sword in her hand, it was as if she had changed into a different person. Her devout devotion to the way of the sword was even higher than his own. These years, in more than a thousand sword fights, Liu Li lost more than she won. However, Wang Lu could always see the desire to win in her clear eyes.
And in the face of Zhu Shiyao's Stellar Sword Qi, Liu Li would rather be injured to fight for that slim chance of winning. Obviously, although she usually admitted that her cultivation base was not as good as Zhu Shiyao's, deep in her heart, she didn't want to admit defeat. If there was a chance, she would always fight for victory. Unfortunately, in the end, she didn't get what she wanted.
Looking at the curled up Liu Li, the girl's brows slightly wrinkled as if she was still in a coma. Wang Lu sighed with emotion and gently touched her cheek.
"Why would the weak fight?"
However, he remembered that he was also defeated in one sword strike, so he didn't seem to have the qualification to laugh at others.
After a while, Wang Lu got up to leave and walked outside. Just as he walked out of the door, he felt a strange fluctuation coming from outside the courtyard. The surrounding air became a bit colder.
Then, a small, slightly helpless voice rang out.
"Fourth, Fourth Martial Aunt, I followed Master's instruction to come, to see Junior Sister Liu Li."
The voice was stuttering and full of jerkiness, as if it was difficult to recite unfamiliar lines. A moment later, the Eldest Martial Sister of Lingjian School didn't wait for anyone to greet her. She walked straight into the courtyard, holding a basket of fruits in her hand, and met Wang Lu who was walking outside.
Wang Lu suddenly stopped and was thinking about how to greet the Eldest Martial Sister. However, he saw that the other party didn't stop and went straight into the room. From the beginning to the end, she didn't even look at Wang Lu, completely ignoring him!
"My goodness, the Eldest Martial Sister of Lingjian School is really arrogant!"
Wang Lu's heart was moved, and some words were about to come out of his mouth. However, he immediately remembered that he was defeated by her, so what was the use of saying empty words? Thus, he suppressed it.
Heh, just now, he lamented that he didn't have a short-term goal after the experiential learning in Grand Cloud Mountain. Now, didn't a goal come knocking on his door? The Eldest Martial Sister of Lingjian School … This title was really cool, much more domineering than the lead disciple.
Just you wait, sooner or later, I will sign a contract with the immortal beast and become the Eldest Martial Sister of Lingjian School!
Hey, wait a minute, something seems wrong …?
