Zhang Yu didn't plan to use any magical means in this battle. He only planned to use his sword to fight the enemy.
In fact, a pure sword cultivator like Ding Xuanping only used one method from the beginning to the end. Therefore, the Absolute Slash he mastered was enough to deal with his peers.
When he unsheathed his sword, the Cicada Sword flew out first.
Liang Yi stood in place without moving. If a sword cultivator only wanted to avoid the enemy, he wouldn't be able to defeat the enemy. He had to have the means to fight back. Otherwise, this battle wouldn't be able to continue.
A light flashed on his body. A visualization diagram with six legs, four wings, two heads, and two tails appeared behind him. It looked like a dragon and a snake. Then, it rushed out and took the initiative to meet the sword.
There were many kinds of visualization diagrams. Some were used to win, some were good at magical powers, and some could be used for charging and fighting. His visualization diagram, Yi She, was personally redesigned by Yu Xuanzun after he became Xuan Zun. In addition to having a certain magical power, it could also fight against all kinds of magic tools head-on, including flying swords.
With a clang, the flying sword cut right on the neck of the strange snake. A huge gap was cut there, and the head was almost cut off.
After a few battles, the Absolute Slash had become sharper and more powerful. After this sword was successful, the flying sword lengthened and wanted to expand the battle results.
At this time, the Yi She visualization diagram suddenly split into two. One of them used its body to block the flying sword, while the other rolled in the air with its injured neck. The cut part was healed. It flapped its wings and rushed up again.
Zhang Yu didn't mind seeing this. If a flying sword could delay the opponent's visualization diagram, then it was undoubtedly worth it. He took a step forward, his body flashed, and he slashed at Liang Yi with his sword!
It wasn't that Liang Yi hadn't made any preparations before coming here. He knew beforehand that Zhang Yu had two Flying Swords, one for the distance and one for the close-range. The tactic he chose was also simple, which was to use the visualization diagram's characteristic of not being afraid of damage and being able to split and combine to entangle one of the Flying Swords, while he himself went to attack Zhang Yu himself.
At this moment, Zhang Yu pointed with his finger, and a rolling ball of flame flew out from behind him. Then, it released thousands of light spots that shot towards Zhang Yu like a torrential downpour.
Because of the collision of the light of heart and will, both parties could accurately transmit the effects of their own Dao arts to the other party.
As for whether or not this kind of derivation would use a technique that didn't belong to him, there was no need to worry. Due to the convergence of the Heart Light and Qi Dynamic, even the slightest fluctuation could not be hidden from the opponent. It was absolutely impossible to achieve the same inside and outside when using other people's divine abilities. The moment it appeared, it would be detected that something was wrong.
When Zhang Yu saw the light spots shooting towards him, his figure didn't stop at all. He called out in his heart, and a layer of purple light appeared on his body. When the light spots fell, they were all blocked on the outside.
There was no need to doubt the defensive power of the Purple Star Sand. Back then, no matter how Chen Qianding attacked, he couldn't break it. But in this battle, he could use it at will and wasn't afraid of exhausting it.
When Liang Yi realized that his attack was useless, it was already too late to dodge, because the sword light had already arrived in front of him!
In a battle between cultivators, attack and defense were like this. One wrong choice would lead to the entire situation being passive. If there was no way to reverse the situation, it would lead to the collapse of the entire situation.
However, he didn't panic. As Xuan Zun's eldest disciple, the defensive Dharma Artifact he possessed wouldn't be inferior to Chen Qianding's Open Spirit Robe. The pearl on his chest faintly flickered, and a layer of incomparably soft seven-colored light suddenly appeared on his body. When the sword blade attacked, the power on it was immediately disintegrated by this light.
After Zhang Yu sensed that protective item, he turned the tip of his sword and slashed out again. Although the attack was blocked, it was within his expectations. Once he got close to his opponent, it would be his home ground.
Moreover, he realized that Liang Yi needed to concentrate on controlling the protective treasure, which meant that he couldn't be distracted for a moment. That was the best time for him to let go of his attack.
Under the continuous slashes of the sword light, the seven-colored light started to waver after a breath's time.
After all, due to the limitations of the Heart Light, both sides couldn't use Dharma Artifacts that were too powerful. So as long as Zhang Yu had enough time, it wouldn't be difficult for him to cut it open.
Liang Yi had rich battle experience. If he didn't immediately change his mind, he would only be waiting for defeat. Although he was forced to defend with all his strength, just like how his visualization diagram could be divided into two, he had a multitasking technique.
This multitasking wasn't just about dividing his mind. In an instant, there was an additional reflection of himself that had his complete Heart Force.
This magical ability was quite impressive, especially in a one-on-one battle. It was like the opponent had to face two of him at a time.
At this moment, he activated the magical ability. Yi She, who was tangled with the Cicada Cry Sword, suddenly hissed and released a ring of scarlet light.
Wherever the light shone, the atmosphere heated up. The wild grass on the ground immediately dried up and became scorched. Then the ground dried up and large patches of cracks appeared.
However, this was only the aftermath. Most of the power was directed at Zhang Yu.
However, when he saw this scene, Liang Yi was instead slightly stunned. In his past battles, these external scenes were only scenes. Sometimes, they even served as a reference for location and distance.
Normally, even if these things suffered attacks, they wouldn't change at all. After all, this was only a background. However, he didn't expect Zhang Yu to completely manifest it here. This was bound to use even more Heart Light.
However, he didn't speak up to warn him, nor did he insist on fairness or anything, because this was Zhang Yu's own choice.
At this moment, Zhang Yu watched as the scarlet light descended. He released all of the Purple Star Sand. Then, under the illumination of the light, he released several dozen sword strikes in an instant!
Under the destructive power of 'Severing All', a crack appeared on the precious bead in front of Liang Yi's chest. He sighed inwardly and suddenly withdrew the visualization diagram. Then, he raised his eyes to face the incoming blade.
Zhang Yu's sword had already reached the edge of his neck. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but stop and say, "Liang Daoyou, what is the meaning of this?"
Liang Yi said frankly, "There's no need to continue fighting. Although we've only exchanged a few moves, I admit that I have no chance of winning if we continue. I've lost this battle."
Once the defensive artifact was broken, he couldn't possibly hold on anymore, so he decisively stopped and admitted defeat.
In fact, he still had the 'Sky-Shaking Sonic Boom' technique. Once he used it, he was confident that he could perish together with Zhang Yu and force a draw. However, in a real battle, as long as it wasn't a life and death struggle, he wouldn't use this technique.
Moreover, he wasn't sure if he would become an enemy of Zhang Yu in the future, so he still wanted to leave a killing move for himself.
Zhang Yu looked at Liang Yi. In today's battle, he only used sword techniques from beginning to end. He didn't even use his full strength. This was because he didn't completely trust his opponent.
Although it was convenient to use the Observer to discuss Dao, it would allow his opponent to clearly understand some of his opponent's methods. He had to be vigilant here.
He could tell that Liang Yi did the same. He didn't reveal his true strength. However, since he'd already admitted defeat, there was no need for him to continue. Thus, he took a step back and withdrew his sword, slowly returning it to its sheath.
At this moment, Liang Yi looked at the Goddess Peak behind him, then looked at him and said, "Governor Zhang, I have a question. What do you think of creation?"
Zhang Yu pondered slightly and said, "It's beneficial to the people."
However, Liang Yi shook his head and said, "Liang thinks that it's actually more than that. For example, this' Observer 'that we're using now, if it can be used by Xuanxiu fellow cultivators, it'll definitely promote the prosperity of Xuan techniques once again, just like 70 years ago."
Zhang Yu took a look and said calmly, "The Observer is useful, but it's still too early to say that it's involved in cultivation now."
Liang Yi looked at him and seemed to want to say something. However, in the end, he didn't continue. He only said, "No matter what, I've lost this battle. I'll keep my promise. If Governor Zhang needs my help with anything, you can come and find me."
After he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery suddenly dispersed. Then, the two people's consciousness returned to reality.
Liang Yi clasped his hands and bowed. He said, "Governor Zhang, I've disturbed you today. My Junior Brothers are still waiting for Liang to return. It's not convenient for me to stay any longer. I'll take my leave now."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I'll send Liang Daoyou off."
After Liang Yi left Zhang Yu's residence, he didn't immediately return to the encampment. Instead, he came to a wasteland alone. There was a white-haired old Daoist waiting for him.
The old Daoist said, "You've gone to see Governor Zhang. What's the result?"
Liang Yi said, "I've lost this battle."
The old Daoist obviously didn't care about this. He stroked his beard and asked, "And then?"
Liang Yi said, "I don't feel that Governor Zhang discriminates against creations. He even has creations by his side. As far as I know, he doesn't reject riding the creation boat."
The old Daoist shook his head and said, "No, some things can't be seen on the surface. Those creations are just pure tools. Even if there's a problem, they can't pose a threat to him.
I'm afraid you don't know that the flying boat he's riding now was made for him by Zhen Xiu. As for his observer, we can't find any records. It's very likely that it's a true spirit made by Zhen Xiu.
From these details, it was easy to see a person's preferences. This meant that he was not at ease with his creation and even had a strong sense of rejection. Did you also say a lot of things to him to promote the Observer? "
Liang Yi nodded silently.
After receiving confirmation, the old Daoist asked again, "Then what's the result?
Liang Yi said in a deep voice, "He doesn't agree with my opinion. I can feel that he thinks I'm too radical."
The old Daoist said, "It seems that the result is very obvious."
Liang Yi said, "I think we can still fight for him. Even if he doesn't agree, he doesn't obviously oppose. We can't treat him as an obstacle."
"Then we still have to take precautions!"
The old Daoist's expression became serious. He said in a deep voice, "Pushing the observer from the outside will encounter all kinds of resistance. Sometimes it comes from the inside of Xuanxiu. In fact, it's not only the observer, but also the new things. However, we have to overcome them one by one. For the sake of the Xuanfa Sect's strength, we have to find a way to move away all the people and things in the way!"
