"A contest of endurance and willpower? You'll be the one to die." Illusionary Killer said to himself.
Back in the day, he had endured a lot of pain in order to master that special secret technique. Every kind of pain was directly applied to his body and went straight to the depths of his soul. After enduring it, not only did he master that special secret technique, but he also tempered his incredible endurance and willpower.
Until now, Illusionary Killer had never met anyone who could match him in terms of endurance and willpower among those of the same cultivation level.
Chen Zong had no intention of competing with Illusionary Killer in terms of endurance and willpower. His mind was working at lightning speed as he kept thinking about how to lock onto Illusionary Killer and hit him.
Only by hitting Illusionary Killer would he be able to kill him.
Although he had hit him once before, Chen Zong knew from the touch that he had really hit him.
"Even though I've condensed the Sword of Spiritual Awareness, it won't work if I can't lock onto him." Chen Zong said to himself.
As long as he could lock onto his opponent, the Sword of Spiritual Awareness would be unavoidable. He would be able to stop his opponent in an instant and then kill him with a swing of his sword.
Chen Zong failed time and time again, but he still didn't feel the slightest bit anxious. Because he knew very well that if he was anxious, it would only cause his heart to be in chaos. At that time, he would be unable to control every bit of his strength in his agitation, and his opponent would probably seize the opportunity to kill him.
Calm down!
Heart of Ice!
Unconsciously, Chen Zong thought of the sword insights left by Lingxi Sword King in the 57th, 56th and 55th sword pagodas.
With Chen Zong's superb comprehension ability, he gradually understood some of the profundities of the three pieces of Sword Insight. At this moment, Chen Zong suddenly recalled the profundities of the three pieces of Sword Insight.
"These three sword insights were all left by Lingxi Sword King. Although they are different, they are of the same origin."
"The most important one is about the application of the Spiritual Awareness."
True knowledge came from practice. Chen Zong tried to apply it.
It was just some comprehension, which was not enough for Chen Zong to use it as he wished. However, the Illusionary Killer King had become the perfect test subject.
Under Chen Zong's control, the soul sense began to change. It was slowly condensed, and the degree of condensation was getting higher and higher. This required extraordinary control.
Chen Zong had already merged his Lingwu and Spirit as One; he was a King-Ranked martial artist. He had shocking control over his own strength. This strength didn't just refer to his spiritual energy, his physical strength, and his spiritual senses.
Sensing the change in his spiritual sense, the Illusionary Killer seized the opportunity again. His thin black short sword tore the air apart soundlessly, and with an extreme killing intent, viciously pierced toward Chen Zong's heart.
If Chen Zong was stabbed, the terrifying power contained in it would explode in an instant and destroy his heart.
Once his heart was destroyed, even if he didn't die on the spot, he would be severely injured. At that time, only death would await him.
Sensing the alarming danger, Chen Zong's heart instantly contracted. He waved his sword and once again blocked the Illusionary Killer King's attack.
Immediately after, his spiritual sense condensed into a line in an instant, turning into silk threads. They were like invisible tentacles that were distributed in all directions. The spiritual sense threads floated slightly, like seaweed in the sea. Everything around him was incomparably clear, even clearer than before.
"It's not this feeling …" Chen Zong muttered to himself as he frowned slightly.
Of course, this spiritual sense was very condensed, but it didn't have any substantial effect.
Those three pieces of sword insights were left behind by the Spirit Rhino Sword King after he had comprehended the sword insights in the three sword pagodas and combined them with his own knowledge. They were rather complex, but they contained a portion of the Spirit Rhino Sword King's sword essence.
"Spirit Rhino …"
Legend had it that in ancient times, there was a spirit beast called the White Rhino. It had a single horn, and there were white spirit patterns on its horn.
This was just a legend, but perhaps the so-called White Rhino really existed.
Chen Zong wasn't sure how to control his spiritual sense properly; he had to rely on his intuition.
Spirit Rhino!
Perhaps this referred to a type of spirit beast in ancient times. It also referred to a kind of intuition. If he could feel it, he would be right.
As he withstood the pressure from the Illusionary Killer King, he continued to search for the correct intuition.
The Illusionary Killer King was a King-Ranked formidable martial artist and was extremely adept at assassination. His abilities were shocking. Facing him, Chen Zong didn't dare to underestimate him at all. He was constantly under the threat of death. Under such a situation, his potential was also stimulated. His comprehension speed was much faster than usual.
Try!
Fail!
This cycle repeated itself. Suddenly, as if he had an epiphany, Chen Zong once again activated his spiritual sense. His spiritual sense power was no longer forcefully condensed. Instead, it was spinning in a unique spiral and condensing naturally.
It was a very relaxed feeling; there was no burden at all.
His spiritual sense was like a thread. As it condensed, it also moved in a special way. It was within Chen Zong's control, but it also seemed to break free from Chen Zong's control.
This was a very special feeling; it was very mysterious.
After merging with it, Chen Zong seemed to have forgotten everything else. He looked like he was in a daze.
The Illusionary Killer King was secretly delighted. At once, he grasped this opportunity and closed in on Chen Zong once again.
"Invisible Void … Illusionary Formless … Illusionary … Absolute Shadow Kill!"
The low voice revealed a mysterious and sinister coldness. It was like a curse that penetrated Chen Zong's ears. It exuded an extremely shocking killing intent, causing Chen Zong to be shocked. A chill surged from the depths of his body and spread to every part of his body.
He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His entire body couldn't help but tremble.
The Illusionary Killer King's figure suddenly appeared in front of Chen Zong. Before Chen Zong could react, the Killer King suddenly flashed and split into ten afterimages. Each afterimage held a thin, short sword that was extremely sharp. As it moved at high speed, it pierced towards Chen Zong.
Every single afterimage was fake, and every single afterimage was real. Every single one of them contained an extremely terrifying might. They were mysterious, dark, and overbearing.
An extremely strong sense of danger suddenly exploded from the depths of Chen Zong's heart. It was like a volcano erupting, causing Chen Zong's hair to stand on end.
This move of the Illusionary Killer King had already threatened his life.
Soon after, Chen Zong felt as if he was struck by a stroke of luck. He could feel the trajectory of the Illusionary Killer King's attack, and his body seemed to react uncontrollably. As he twisted and turned, he was like a willow swaying in the wind, a fish swimming in the water, or an eagle in the sky.
Chen Zong felt as if he had become an outsider. He could see his own reactions from another perspective. However, these reactions were not completely out of his control.
In an instant, Chen Zong's miraculous reaction caused the Illusionary Killer King's ultimate move, the Illusionary Killer King, to miss. This caused the Illusionary Killer King to be extremely shocked.
This was a killer move. Ever since the Killer King used it, it had never missed. As long as one of the ten afterimages hit the target, the target would be killed instantly. Previously, the King-Ranked formidable martial artist had also died from this move.
Amidst the shock, an incredulous thought flashed across the Illusionary Killer King's mind. Suddenly, a bone-chilling feeling emerged from the depths of his heart. It was so sudden that he was caught off guard.
This was a crisis. A terrifying crisis that could threaten his life.
Run!
It had to be said that the Illusionary Killer King cherished his life very much. Although he did not know what was going to happen, once he felt the strong sense of danger, he immediately retreated. He would rather give up this assassination opportunity.
Chen Zong stood where he was and did not move. However, his gaze was fixed in front of him. Immediately, following his will and that faintly discernible hint of inspiration, Chen Zong swung the Heart Intent Heavenly Sword.
This sword was swung out diagonally, and the sword blade was a little crooked midway. It was as if he could not even hold the sword properly. It was as if he was a beginner who had just started practicing the sword.
However, Chen Zong did not feel awkward at all. Everything was so natural. He did as he pleased, and it was as if he was a part of nature.
His eyes could not capture the Illusionary Killer King's figure. However, unknowingly, a trace of his spiritual senses landed on the Illusionary Killer King's body and followed him like a shadow.
The sword that was swung out also followed that trace of spiritual senses and pierced through the air.
This sword seemed simple and did not seem to have much power. However, it made the Illusionary Killer King's hair stand on end. Goosebumps appeared all over his body, and his heart beat uncontrollably.
He executed his movement techniques to the extreme. However, he realized that he could not avoid Chen Zong's sword no matter how hard he tried.
The movement techniques that he was so proud of seemed to have lost their effectiveness at this moment.
The body of the sword seemed to extend endlessly without a limit. It directly struck the body of the Empyrean King of Killers. In an instant, a special secret technique was activated. The part of the body that was struck by the sword rapidly turned illusory and dispersed like smoke. The Empyrean King of Killers smiled proudly.
Although practicing this special secret method had made him suffer a lot and he had been on the verge of death several times, it had saved his life time and time again.
Just as the Illusionary Killer King was feeling smug, his body suddenly stiffened. A terrifying force was rapidly spreading to the rest of his body through the illusory area.
The illusory effect of this special secret method was only a small part of the body. It had always been successful, but this time, it failed.
The terrifying force instantly raged inside his body and cut through his body. The Illusionary Killer King felt as if his body was being torn apart from the inside out. Moreover, the terrifying force rushed straight to his brain.
In the blink of an eye, the Illusionary Killer King, who had fled to the edge of the Thousand-Sword Arena, suddenly froze and appeared in front of everyone's eyes. He stood still like a piece of wood. Suddenly, he let out a heart-wrenching scream and his stiff body fell backward.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
After a fierce battle that made people tremble in fear, they thought that Chen Zong would be killed. However, it turned out that the Illusionary Killer King was the one who was killed.
Everyone was dumbfounded by this result.
"This feeling is really wonderful," Chen Zong said secretly.
As if he had a flash of inspiration and a stroke of good luck, the sword struck out and hit its target.
"This sword is derived from the sword experience of the Lingxi Sword King, so it's named Lingxi." Chen Zong said secretly. He could not help but feel a little excited. "With the spiritual sense as the guide, it's like pulling strings to build a bridge … In this way, it's named Lingxi String Leading."
He was excited not only because he had created a new sword move, but also because he had made progress in the Heart Sword Principle.
