The game was completely different from the real world. As he leveled up, his physique would improve, and the sword ki's corrosion would weaken with each level up. Northstar Blade was completely immersed in the slaughter.
Even though he had once been heavily injured, he could still fight a Spirit-branded Retainer with his mortal body. But now, these players, who only relied on their stats without any combat techniques, were like beasts that had lost their claws and teeth, waiting to be slaughtered.
They were speechless as they watched Northstar Blade draw and sheathe his sword smoothly. In fact, they even felt as if they were riding on his coattails.
"Just who are you …" Ikazumi muttered to herself as she watched Northstar Blade sweep through the crowd as if he was invincible.
The excited Northstar Blade took two steps forward and swung his sword diagonally at the Hindustani team's leader.
"Ancient Sword Technique!"
Back then, he had sought guidance from all over the world in order to become stronger. The sword techniques he had learned were a combination of the strengths of many schools of thought and his own understanding of the sword.
Ikazumi's eyes widened in shock as she watched from afar.
As the golden light of leveling up flashed, the members of the Hindustani squad trembled in fear. They could not believe that this person was leveling up while fighting them, and they could not believe that his strength could be so terrifying. Even though they fought him hysterically, they could not stop the black 'Grim Reaper' in his hand.
Northstar Blade's level increased bit by bit as he fought. Soon, he reached Level 3 … Level 4 … Level 5.
Northstar Blade's attack didn't disappoint. The sword ki formed a black cross and pierced through the Hindustani team's leader.
When she was analyzing the Kikyou sword, she saw that the binder's name was Northstar Yidao, but she didn't think much of it at the time. After all, Japan didn't have the surname Northstar because of the One Blade Sect. But after seeing the sword technique Northstar Yidao was displaying, she was sure that Northstar Yidao was the successor of the Northstar family's One Blade Sect.
Northstar Blade's dormant Kenshin awakened. He was like a bloodthirsty beast, his eyes radiating absolute oppression and killing intent.
The Kikyo was like the Grim Reaper's scythe in Northstar Blade's hands. Every strike was ferocious and destructive.
This was a circle that respected the strong. As long as you were strong enough, you would be able to win the admiration and respect of others.
The Hindustani party's objective in the Withered Bone Forest was to loot and clear out players. Naturally, they didn't waste any time with words. After surrounding Northstar Blade and confirming that he couldn't escape, they launched an attack.
"Ha!" With a furious roar, he flipped the Kikyou in his hand and quickly struck out.
This was because he had comprehended Northstar One Blade's sword intent. It was a boundless, peerless sword intent that contained an aura of destruction. This was something that her senior brother in the Sword Pavilion, and even all the sword arts masters she had met, did not possess.
Northstar One Blade's attack had been a feint. He'd planned to find a weak point in the enemy's defense after the strike, but he hadn't expected that the "Kikyou" would suddenly tremble. Then, a black crescent of sword energy broke free from the "Kikyou" and slammed into the leader's shield, sending him flying.
"Wah! One Blade! You're actually pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!" Atomi Inoue exclaimed, laughing as he ran towards Northstar One Blade.
"Bei Chen?!"
She had only been seven years old at the time, but she'd heard of Northstar One Blade before.
What shocked the Hindustani players was that not only were Northstar One Blade's attacks incomparably sharp, but his movements were also domineering. Not only were they outnumbered, but they were also being used by Northstar One Blade to pin down each other.
But at this moment, Iumi once again recalled the time when she was a child, hiding in her room and calling out for her father, only to never see that stalwart figure.
"Scatter! Scatter! " The leader of the Hindustani players ordered them to scatter. He knew that they wouldn't be a match for Northstar One Blade if they continued to fight.
Northstar One Blade was using his emotions to wield his sword. Swordplay was merely a form of attack. His sword intent was the key to victory. This was his unique swordplay.
Northstar One Blade's movements were so practiced that the Hindustani players had no time to react. By the time they realized what was going on, Northstar One Blade had already killed three players and broken out of the encirclement.
Northstar One Blade slowly closed his eyes when he saw this.
"Retreat! Retreat!" At this time, the Hindustani team members who had been slaughtered to the point of collapse finally gave up on fighting and scattered in all directions.
His sword intent became more solid during the battle, and his sword heart was awakened bit by bit and improved.
At this time, the members of the Hindustani team surrounded Northstar Blade in a hubbub.
Iumi stood rooted to the ground, staring at Northstar One Blade who had become one with his Kikyou. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
[Game Notification: You have used the hidden skill 'Sword Ki' in the game. Please comprehend it on your own. You may create your own skill after reaching a certain level of proficiency!]
"That's not right. Why does he know Kiai-type swordplay?"
"Northstar One Blade, Legendary!" Iumi bit her lip and tightened her grip on her sword.
At this moment, Northstar One Blade was in the zone, and he could not help but smile.
Northstar One Blade was a miracle in and of itself.
However, she was different. She hated Northstar One Blade. She hated him for killing her father!
Northstar One Blade was surprised to discover that his body had become lighter, and his perception of his surroundings had become sharper.
Northstar One Blade smiled when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Iumi looking at him with a complicated expression. There was hatred in her eyes, as well as her reluctance to accept this "compromise."
Among them, Iumi was undoubtedly the most shocked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Northstar One Blade slowly raised his Kikyou and moved his left foot forward, assuming a saber-wielding stance.
"Sword Ki?" Northstar One Blade's expression froze when he saw this.
The corners of Northstar One Blade's lips curled up, and he dashed forward once more.
Although the EXP gained from killing other players was minuscule, Northstar One Blade, who was still Level 0, did not require much EXP to level up. Hence, after killing so many players, he still leveled up.
After learning that he could use his sword intent here, Northstar One Blade's eyes burned with fighting spirit. From time to time, he brandished his sword.
Amateurs enjoyed the show, while experts recognized the artistry. As one of the direct descendants of ancient swordsmanship's "Iumi Style," Iumi's hand trembled as she gripped her sword.
Suddenly, Northstar One Blade's eyes opened, and his aura changed.
Iumi, Inoue Atomi, and the others were dumbfounded.
"Don't worry! I can do it!" Northstar One Blade replied.
As his enemies fell, one after another, Northstar One Blade's body flashed with light. He had leveled up!
In Northstar One Blade's eyes, these players' defenses were weak points.
Northstar One Blade had combined the strengths of hundreds of ancient swordsmanship styles, yet his swordsmanship still contained his own unique style. He had even condensed a peerless sword intent. Iumi could not believe that a man with a severed right arm could possess such a sword intent.
As a member of ancient swordsmanship, she had heard too many legends about Northstar One Blade. However, these legends were all positive. They all said that Northstar One Blade was a legend, an unsurpassable Sword God.
While running, Iumi suddenly thought of Northstar One Blade. She turned her head and was dumbfounded to find that Northstar One Blade was standing there alone. He did not seem to have any intention of leaving.
Her mind was in a mess. Who was he? Why had she never heard of him?
At that moment, Iumi's face turned pale.
These two words suddenly appeared in Iumi's mind. It was like a sudden clap of thunder. Her face instantly turned pale.
"One Blade, run!" Iumi shouted anxiously in the party voice chat.
Flaws, there were flaws everywhere!
At this moment, Ikazumi was elated because she had obtained a Blood Essence after killing the Blood Demon. It was an unexpected surprise.
Although the attack didn't kill the three players instantly, it was a critical hit on their Fatal Weak Point. The three players entered a weakened state at the same time.
Were they noobs?
Northstar One Blade did not chase after them. After they left, he sheathed his sword in the traditional One-blade style and put the Kikyou back into his right arm.
The One-blade style he learned only had one purpose, and that was to attack again and again. The most violent attack was the best defense.
"Ha!"
However, there was one thing she remembered clearly. Her father, Iumi Tezuka, died in the hands of Northstar One Blade. Although he was killed in a sword competition, it was still a shadow in Iumi's heart.
Northstar One Blade could not believe it. He clenched the Kikyou in his hand and ran toward the leader. Then, he swung his sword according to the sword technique in Taiyuan Swordplay.
Facing the attack, he did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward and dodged the oncoming attack. Then, he swung his Kikyou forward. Accompanied by a flash of black light, three bloody marks appeared on the necks of the three players in front of him.
This scene shocked them, but they still rushed toward Northstar One Blade again.
"Shadow Stream!"
[Game Notification: Sword Qi Penetration Damage, Defense Break 80%. You have killed player Shalu Khan!]
Before they could come back to their senses, Northstar One Blade flipped the Kikyou in his hand and rushed forward again. With a swift and violent slash, the three of them turned into black mist and dissipated.
Since she had gotten the benefits, she was naturally unwilling to fight with the Hindustanis and decisively retreated.
Iumi, who saw this scene from afar, was furious. She immediately turned around and turned back. Atomi Inoue and the others were also helpless, but they still followed Iumi and ran toward Northstar One Blade.
However, at this moment, he did not have much time to think. He turned around and rushed into the crowd of enemies again, beginning his extreme massacre.
However, what shocked her even more was that Northstar One Blade's strength could not be so weak. As the number one swordsman in ancient sword techniques, even if he used his left hand, he was still at the peak.
"No, it's Niten One Blade!
"No, no, it's Shinto Stream!"
Although he had already understood how to release sword qi and was already familiar with Taiyuan Swordplay, this was a game!
"Is he that legend?" Looking at Northstar One Blade, Iumi's expression was incomparably complicated.
The game notification stunned Northstar One Blade. This was clearly beyond his understanding. He did not know why the Forbidden Sword Intent Sword in reality could be successfully used here.
"Impossible! Why does his sword technique have the shadow of all the ancient sword techniques?!"
Although it had been more than ten years, her hatred for Northstar One Blade had long faded, and she had almost forgotten about it.
