They both used swords, but after a short exchange, both of them realized that they were not the same kind of people.
Ao Jian was the kind of person who was obsessed with swords. His feelings for swords ran through his entire life. Swords used to be his everything.
Northstar Blade was the complete opposite.
He wielded his sword for love, using it to protect, to take revenge, to fulfill promises, and so on …
The sword was more like a tool for him to achieve his goals. His sword will was condensed with emotions.
But most of the time, his strength was not enough for him to put it into action.
Therefore, his sword will grew stronger as his emotions changed.
Although both of them valued the swords in their hands, the inner meaning was completely different.
At the end of the conversation, both of them stood still.
As Ao Jian waved his hand, the nine Spiritual Swords behind him floated up and lined up in front of him.
"Come on, let me see if your swordsmanship is stronger or mine!"
Northstar Blade nodded and reached out his left hand to grab his right arm.
His right arm fell off by itself and turned into a five-foot-long Tachi in a flash.
The battle was about to begin. At this moment, the onlookers were extremely excited. Some meddlesome players even opened bets on the forum and gave out odds, ready to earn some soul coins.
Of course, such players would be banned by Lu Wu for three days on the grounds that online gambling was prohibited.
The players had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.
Not only the players from the original server and the Asia server, but players from other servers also came after hearing the news.
They all wanted to see who was stronger between Ao Jian and Northstar Blade in this pinnacle level battle.
The number of spectators reached an unprecedented high in a short period of time.
Amidst the anticipation of the players, Northstar Blade, who was standing at the side of the arena, made the first move. He moved his right foot forward and slashed forward with his Tachi.
In an instant, a crimson sword will appeared in front of Northstar Blade and swept toward Ao Jian.
Seeing this, Ao Jian's expression turned solemn.
He did not dare to be careless against Northstar Blade. His fingers moved forward, and suddenly the nine Spiritual Swords rotated rapidly and lined up in a sword formation, shattering the incoming sword will on the spot.
At this moment, Northstar Blade moved. He suddenly took three steps forward and turned his left wrist. Three streaks of sword will condensed and swept toward Ao Jian from the front.
Ao Jian looked calm. He separated three Spiritual Swords to meet the red Sword Will, while the other six Spiritual Swords spread out and stabbed Bei Chen from both sides.
Northstar One-Blade didn't stop in the slightest. Letting out an enraged roar, he raised his katana high into the air and slashed it out in front of him.
[Taiyuan Swordsmanship — Fall]
The Platycodon turned black at this moment, and the pitch-black flames climbed up from the sword hilt, igniting the sword body.
Boom!
The raging flame attacked forward, repelling the three Spiritual Swords in front of Ao Jian. The six Spiritual Swords on the left and right sides were entangled in the air by the black flame and could not escape for a while.
Northstar Blade immediately seized the opportunity. He crouched down and passed between the three swords on his left and right, heading straight for Proud Sword.
The Tai Dao burning with black flames suddenly fell at this moment. The surging sword intent condensed on the sword body, releasing a dazzling light.
Ao Jian was shocked and immediately controlled the three spiritual swords in front of him to line up in a sword formation.
Boom!
Under the attack, the three spiritual swords trembled violently and made a buzzing sound. Ao Jian, who was behind them, was pushed several meters away by the violent sword intent.
"What a strong talent in swordsmanship, what a strong sword intent!" Facing Northstar One-Blade for the first time, Ao Jian found that he had completely underestimated the strength of Northstar One-Blade.
That was the truth.
Although Ao Jian's sword intent was pure, his talent in swordsmanship was far inferior to Northstar One-Blade, who was recognized as the most talented swordsman in the history of J Country.
Northstar One Blade's name was a legend in J country's circle, and he represented a legend.
He was an absolute powerhouse who broke through the catastrophe of life and death during the Age of Dharma Ending and comprehended the Spiritual Sword Technique.
Under this attack, the violent sword intent formed out of thin air and kept condensing, crazily attacking Ao Jian's nerves.
Ao Jian suspected that if he had not suppressed Northstar One-Blade in terms of level and attributes, he would not have been able to deal with such an attack calmly. He would have to pay a price.
The sword intent that formed out of thin air rushed towards him. At this moment, Ao Jian made a sword gesture with one hand and stretched his hand forward.
The nine spiritual swords that shared the same thought suddenly turned back and arranged themselves in a fan shape behind him. Then, Ao Jian stabbed the Tachi that was coming towards him with one finger.
His finger and the Tachi collided at this moment.
At this moment, Ao Jian no longer held back and released one of his strongest moves, the Tenth Sword.
And the Tenth Sword was himself.
With the support of the nine spiritual swords behind him, the sword intent condensed by this finger was far stronger than before. It was as if his entire body had transformed into a sharp sword that showed off its ability.
Boom!
In the midst of the Sword Qi, the two forces pressed against each other at the point of collision, forming two circular barriers that offset each other.
At this moment, the bricks on the ground of the arena were shattered and flew to both sides. The sword intent of the two began to strengthen in the stalemate.
At this moment, the two began to compete in the sword intent.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding players exclaimed in satisfaction. They were not even willing to blink their eyes. This was more immersive than those special effects films.
At this moment, the players from the original server and the Asia server were crazily spamming the live chat channel of the spectator seats, cheering for their own players.
At this moment, the nine spiritual swords behind Ao Jian trembled and he took a step forward.
The soaring sword intent emerged and slowly condensed a giant colorful sword behind him.
Northstar Blade slowly slid backwards under the pressure of the attack.
Seeing this scene, the players from the original server began to cheer.
"Awesome, my Ao Jian is indeed the best in the world of Sword Dao!"
"666, the battle of special effects. The funds are burning. This is too exciting. In comparison, the special effects of my skills are nothing!"
"Too wild. No wonder he is a powerhouse in the Ghost King Realm. His battle is so gorgeous and cool. It gives me the motivation to become stronger!"
…
At this moment, the situation gradually tilted towards Ao Jian's side.
As the giant sword behind Ao Jian gradually condensed, the sword intent continued to strengthen. At this time, the index finger of his right hand also bloomed with colorful streamers.
"Roar!" At the moment when the giant sword was completely condensed, Ao Jian let out a low roar. Then, he suddenly retracted his right hand. When his index finger pointed forward again, the giant sword behind him also stabbed forward.
"Boom!" The wind howled and the giant sword suddenly hit Kikyo.
Under the blow, Northstar Sword was sent flying and his body was thrown into the air. The giant sword below also followed Ao Jian's direction and flew towards Northstar Sword in the sky.
Seeing this scene, the players from the original server cheered, knowing that the battle was about to end.
On the other hand, the players from the Asia server could not help but sigh, feeling that they had lost to the motherf * cking original server again.
However, at this time, an unexpected scene appeared. Northstar Sword slowly dragged his Tachi in the air.
The speed was very slow, but it dragged out countless afterimages.
At the moment when the Tachi was raised horizontally in front of him, he whispered,
"Kikyo, come with me!"
The Kikyo sword trembled at this time as if it was responding to Northstar Sword. Countless lines appeared on its surface and the flame that was extinguished by Ao Jian's sword intent was ignited again.
Taiyuan Swordsmanship, Sacrifice.
As Northstar Sword murmured, his eyes became extremely determined and his Tachi suddenly slashed towards the giant sword below.
The black flame that was formed by the sword aura that filled the sky gathered and climbed onto the blade of the sword. Along with Northstar Sword's slash from top to bottom, it transformed into a crescent-shaped flaming sword aura.
At the moment when the sword fell, Ao Jian's face showed an expression of disbelief.
This was because he realized that the sword intent inside the giant sword was being drawn out and continuously surged towards the flaming sword aura, becoming a part of it.
In the confrontation between the two forces, one's loss and the other's gain, the disadvantage turned into an advantage in the blink of an eye.
When the flaming sword aura broke through the shadow of the giant sword and smashed it into specks of starlight, Ao Jian could not help but be stunned.
Not only was Ao Jian stunned, but even the players who were watching the battle were dumbfounded.
They had all heard of Northstar Sword's name. He was recognized as the number one expert in the Asia server and had never been surpassed by any other player in the Asia server.
On the other hand, Ao Jian was one of the strongest cheaters in the original server.
Even so, in reality, the players were more inclined to believe that Ao Jian would win.
This was because Ao Jian was almost an undefeated legend in the eyes of many people.
At least in the battles, he had challenged many experts and had never been defeated.
Moreover, his battle record of consecutive victories in the 1524 arena was even more proof of Ao Jian's terrifying combat strength.
Although the Asia server players were saying tough words, deep down in their hearts, they were actually helpless and felt that Northstar Sword would be defeated in this battle.
Many Asia server players grew up watching Ao Jian's videos, so they were very familiar with Ao Jian's combat strength.
In the eyes of many Asia server players, it was almost impossible for him to be defeated.
However, this time, Northstar Sword's slash shattered the impossible.
At the moment when the flaming sword aura smashed the giant sword, it seemed to symbolize the destruction of a legend. The players who were watching the battle subconsciously held their breath.
"Impossible!" At this time, Ao Jian's face was ferocious as he condensed all the sword intent in his body and pointed his right index finger.
At the moment when it collided with the flaming sword aura, Ao Jian's figure was engulfed by the flames. The sword intent was gradually weakened in the offset. Eventually, he could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground with a loud bang. He began to pant heavily.
At this time, Northstar Sword landed on the ground and waved his hand to disperse the sword aura. However, he did not attack again. Instead, he pressed the Kikyou on his right shoulder and turned it into his right arm.
"I … lost!" Ao Jian said with a pained expression.
Looking at Ao Jian who was a little lost, Northstar Sword could not help but sigh, but he did not know how to persuade him.
Sometimes, the competition between swordsmen was so cruel.
It was a competition between their sword hearts and sword intent. The defeat of one party would often cause the other party's sword heart to waver.
"I've been pursuing swordsmanship all my life. Even if I condensed such a pure sword intent … I'm still not as good as you!" At this moment, Ao Jian closed his eyes and felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
Hearing this, Northstar Sword shook his head.
"You're wrong. Your sword intent is actually stronger than mine, but you haven't achieved true purity. I found that your sword intent has been mixed with other things and has lost its original realm. If your sword intent could really be as pure as it used to be, the person who would be defeated today would definitely be me!"
When saying this, Northstar Sword's expression was solemn.
This was not him speaking blindly, but he had discovered Ao Jian's weakness during the battle.
If it was a pure sword intent, its lethality would inevitably increase by several levels, and it would not be used by his own sword intent.
When watching Ao Jian's battle video, Northstar Sword studied Ao Jian's sword intent and found that this person's sword intent was very pure, and its lethality was more than a level higher than his own sword intent.
This was also the reason why he asked Ao Jian why he could have such a pure sword intent before the battle.
However, this time, Northstar Sword found that Ao Jian's sword intent was not as pure as it used to be. It had obviously changed, and it was mixed with other things.
This was undoubtedly Ao Jian's biggest flaw, and it was also something that Northstar Sword did not expect.
In fact, although Northstar Sword did his best in this battle, it was more for the sake of learning and learning.
He did not think that he could beat Ao Jian. At most, it would be 3-7, with him having 30% and Ao Jian having 70%.
Upon hearing this, Ao Jian was stunned.
Have I changed?
At this moment, he suddenly thought of two people. It was also the appearance of these two fetters that disturbed his firm Taoist Heart.
One was Mo Xiaoxin, and the other was Mo Lanlan.
He thought that he was alone in the world, and he had no other pursuits other than the Way of the Sword.
However, their appearance shook his rock-solid pursuit of the Way of the Sword, giving rise to many emotions in his heart.
At this moment, Ao Jian's expression became complicated.
…
In the audience seats, Mo Xiaoxin's eyes widened at this moment.
He naturally heard the conversation between Ao Jian and Northstar Sword.
At this moment, he panicked and could not help but look at his mother, Mo Lanlan, and asked in a low voice,
"Mother, do you think father will kill us in order to recast a pure sword intent? If so, his pursuit of the Way of the Sword will become smooth again!"
Hearing this, Mo Lanlan slapped the back of Mo Xiaoxin's head. As if she was not satisfied, she slapped him twice in a row.
"Who are you calling father? Who is your father? I picked you up, and you don't have a father!"
Mo Xiaoxin wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
He quickly said, "I don't have a father, I don't have a father, I only have my most beloved mother!"
Hearing this, Mo Lanlan glared at him and did not answer Mo Xiaoxin's question. Instead, she looked at Ao Jian in the arena with a murderous look in her eyes, causing Mo Xiaoxin to tremble.
This family is so hard to live in.
Not only is his mother extremely cruel, but his father also pursues the ultimate pure Way of the Sword. Who knows, he might kill his wife and son to prove his Way.
'Damn it, it's a miracle that I'm still alive!
It's so hard for me … '
…
At this moment, in the arena, Northstar Sword looked at Ao Jian, who was struggling. He could not help but sigh, and then said,
"We are all human beings, and emotional fetters are inevitable. Since we can't get rid of them, why should we try to erase them? They are not burdens, but strength. These feelings that are hard to let go might make you stronger. You should try to accept them, not resist them!"
Hearing this, Ao Jian was shocked. He slowly raised his head to look at Northstar Sword and said,
"Emotion Sword?"
"That's right. My sword intent comes from my emotions. I've never regarded it as a burden. On the contrary, it has always given me endless power. Although the pure sword intent is strong enough, when you reach the end of this path, you will completely lose your emotions and become a puppet controlled by the sword intent. This is not the path we should take. At that time, you will no longer be you, no matter how strong you are!"
Northstar Sword's words were like a blow to the head, shattering the stubbornness in Ao Jian's heart.
At this moment, Ao Jian thought of the grief and helplessness he felt when he lost the love of his life.
The pure Sword Will gave him great strength, but it also cost him a lot.
Since it was so difficult to let go of those regretful things, why should he resist them? Since there was a chance to start over, he should firmly grasp it and not let it leave him.
"Crack!"
At this moment, Ao Jian's pure Sword Heart was broken. At the same time, a smile appeared on his face.
Ao Jian smiled as if he had been reborn.
No matter how many opponents he had defeated before, he had never smiled. However, this failure made him smile.
Seeing this scene, Northstar Sword also smiled.
"Congratulations, you've comprehended it!"
At this moment, Northstar Sword sensed a vigorous new Sword Will growing in Ao Jian's body. Although it was not as pure as before, it was full of vitality and vitality.
"Thank you!" Ao Jian looked at Northstar Sword sincerely and thanked him.
"You're welcome. I hope you can become stronger and return to your peak. I look forward to fighting you again!" Northstar Sword said with a smile.
"I will, I will definitely defeat you!" Ao Jian nodded solemnly.
"Alright, it's a deal!"
At this moment, Ao Jian's figure slowly faded out of the arena, choosing to admit defeat.
[In this cross-server tournament, the two parties are Beiqi player, Ao Jian, and Devil Spine player, Northstar Sword. The winner is Northstar Sword, and he has obtained Tournament Points …]
When the game notification sounded, the audience was in an uproar.
The Asia server players were howling crazily.
The top player of their server had defeated Ao Jian from the original server. This was definitely a legendary moment for them, worthy of being recorded in the server's history.
The feeling of ending a legend could only be described as "exhilarating".
On the other hand, the original players seemed to be in a daze. They could not believe that Ao Jian would lose to Northstar Sword. This was really unbelievable to them.
Ao Jian had always been so strong and was always regarded as one of the top three players in the entire server. But now, he actually lost …
At the same time, the players from the Naraka server, Africa server, and the European server were also ignited with passion.
This battle made them realize that the legend was not unbreakable. Even the latecomers could break through the legend and stand at the peak.
Northstar Sword's victory gave the players from the other four main servers, who had always been suppressed by the original server, endless fighting spirit.
At this moment, a concept was deeply rooted in the hearts of the players. Even the original server's cheat was not invincible. As long as one worked hard, everyone had a chance!
When the screen of the arena faded, the players returned to the game.
However, the popularity of this battle did not stop. The players were discussing it in the forum. Many professional players began to explain the battle and even provided data support to analyze the key reasons for the victory and defeat of this battle.
It could be said that the players in the entire server were shocked by this battle …
…
After exiting the arena, Mo Xiaoxin was still in a daze.
At this time, his friend list suddenly changed. Mo Xiaoxin subconsciously clicked on it.
Ao Jian: Are you there?
Seeing that it was a message from Ao Jian, Mo Xiaoxin shrank his neck, feeling frightened.
"Mom, dearest … Ao Jian seems to be attacking us. What should we do?"
Hearing this, Mo Lanlan slowly pulled out her machete and said with a cold expression,
"Kill!"
…
After the battle with Ao Jian, Northstar Sword also returned to the main city, Blazing Sky City.
He was greeted by the blessings and cheers of Iwaomi and other guild members. The whole Blazing Sky City was as lively as a festival.
Helpless, Northstar Sword could only brace himself to deal with them before he escaped.
After a short rest, Northstar Sword clicked on the Activity Menu again. Looking at the number of cross-server battles he had left, he clicked on the Match button with anticipation.
About five seconds later, a game notification appeared:
[Game Notification: Match successful. Your opponent is the Beiqi player, Hu He. Please prepare for battle!]
