The distance between the two was now only six hundred feet.
According to the rules of the cultivation world, cultivators should take the initiative to avoid each other at this distance to show that they had no ill intentions.
That was what True Venerate Gui Yuan did.
His figure was moving to the right.
Lu Qingshan seemed to understand and also moved to the other side.
Seeing this, True Venerate Gui Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart.
The black Baleful Yin Sword in his dantian was already ready to move.
At this moment, he and Lu Qingshan were facing each other.
Facing each other meant that the distance between the two would be reduced at twice the speed. It also meant that once one of them attacked, the other's reaction time would also be halved.
Not to mention that he was a sword cultivator and was known for his speed and sharpness.
If everything went smoothly, he would be able to chop off Lu Qingshan's head with a single sword strike and then escape without a trace.
True Venerate Gui Yuan had already calculated everything in his heart.
The moment his figure moved to the right, True Venerate Gui Yuan let out a low roar.
"Sword out!"
Boom!
The black Baleful Yin Sword instantly shot out from his Dantian, engulfed in black sword aura.
A black light exploded in the sky, ready to greet Lu Qingshan.
Since his sword was already out, True Venerate Gui Yuan no longer concealed himself and looked at Lu Qingshan with a sinister smile. "Good boy, I'll let you know what the world is like!"
Unexpectedly, the instant the sword-light exploded, the Tenth Origin True Venerate raised his gaze. What he saw was not Lu Qingshan's panicked expression, but a dazzling sword qi.
A howl rang out. After the Sword Qi struck him, it actually transformed into a mysterious Xiezhi, and the horn on its forehead directly pierced into his body.
Then, he felt a stab in his mind, as if a bomb had exploded in his Sea of Consciousness.
While he was in a daze, he heard three explosions.
Blazing red, dark green, and dark blue. Three gorgeous sword lights firmly locked onto his body.
"Who was the one who ambushed who?" Tenth Origin True Venerate was perplexed.
He hadn't even executed the sneak attack that he had thought of. How was it that the sword cultivator opposite him had succeeded first?
.....
When enemies meet on a narrow path, the courageous one wins.
When two cultivators clashed, especially when these two cultivators were sword cultivators who were famous for their speed, the competition tested courage, judgment, speed … and who would make the first move.
Tenth Origin True Venerate was prepared to launch a sneak attack at the most opportune moment.
The timing of Lu Qingshan's attack was just slightly faster than Gui Yuan True Venerate's.
However, this one sliver allowed him to gain the upper hand!
This momentary advantage was not enough for Lu Qingshan to use too many tricks. He chose to use all three of his swords.
Three streaks of sword light, two in front and one behind. The one in front was the Dragonsparrow and the River of Forgetfulness, which were both Dao artifacts, while the one behind was the Peach Blossom.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fast, too fast!
Lu Qingshan's perfect stage slaughter sword intent was displayed for the first time in front of an outsider.
Moreover, it was the slaughter sword intent that had evolved from the Immortal True Intent.
The Slaughter Sword Intent had already reached perfection, and only the True Meaning of Origin could allow its power to break through the upper limit and reach the next level.
With the double support, the speed of Lu Qingshan's flying sword through the Dao artifact was …
Seventy-five times the speed of sound!
The speed of a flying sword was one of the hardest indicators for sword cultivators to improve.
No one dared to imagine that an early-stage Nascent Soul sword cultivator's flying sword could be so fast.
Even Tenth Origin True Venerate did not dare to think about it.
As a late-stage Void Refinement sword cultivator, regardless of the power of his flying sword, its speed was only around seventy times the speed of sound.
However, Lu Qingshan's flying sword had already arrived.
The Dragonsparrow's attack was like fire, and the River of Forgetfulness was like a raging tide.
Tenth Origin True Venerate, who had just regained his senses, could only hastily change his moves. The black Yin Fiend Sword and the white Yang Fiend Sword were placed in front of him to defend against Lu Qingshan's two flying swords.
Danger surrounded him.
The four flying swords chased and collided with each other in the space several hundred feet in front of Tenth Origin True Venerate, drawing arcs after arcs of half-moons or crescent moons.
Due to their fast speed, the four flying swords left long trails of flames behind them, forming a dancing trail in the air like four horned dragons. The visual effect was extremely beautiful.
"A Void Refinement cultivator is indeed not to be underestimated. He raised his sword in a hurry to defend, but his defense is impenetrable." Lu Qingshan murmured.
The third natal sword finally joined the battle at this moment.
Tenth Origin True Venerate's heart tightened. He was fully prepared to deal with it, but he realized that his preparations were in vain.
That was because the flying sword suddenly stopped after it arrived.
The peach blossom's function … was not to attack.
Its function was to bring Lu Qingshan to Tenth Origin True Venerate.
Yes, Lu Qingshan had already closed the distance between them.
In the short moment when he closed in, he did something else.
"Heaven-Piercing Sword Sutra (Nascent Soul section) leveled up to Lv 6. Spiritual force + 10000!"
"Your rank has been raised to Middle-stage Nascent Soul. Spiritual force + 100!"
"Heaven-Piercing Sword Sutra (Nascent Soul section) leveled up to Lv 7. Spiritual force + 10000!"
"Your spiritual force has exceeded 100,000. Talent [Spiritual Force Transformation] (Intermediate) leveled up to [Spiritual Force Transformation] (Advanced)!"
[Spiritual Force Transformation] (Advanced): As your cultivation base increases, your control of spiritual force will become more exquisite, and your power will become more powerful. Spiritual force increase + 60%.
.....
"Heaven-Piercing Sword Sutra (Nascent Soul section) leveled up to Lv 11. Spiritual force + 10000!"
"Your rank has been raised to Late-stage Nascent Soul. Spiritual force + 100!"
"Heaven-Piercing Sword Sutra (Nascent Soul section) leveled up to Lv 15. Spiritual force + 10000!"
Under Tenth Origin True Venerate's confused and surprised gaze, the aura emitted from Lu Qingshan's body rose from Late-stage Nascent Soul to Late-stage Nascent Soul as if it was a joke.
Assassinations in the cultivation world did not follow the so-called rules. It was normal for the strong to bully the weak.
It was naturally more refreshing to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife.
He could understand this behavior, but wasn't it too much to use a gun to kill a chicken?
Lu Qingshan knew that he was good at fighting. If there was someone secretly targeting him, they would not send some shrimp soldiers to die.
However, in his estimation, it was most likely an Early-stage Void Refinement cultivator. He could even accept a Middle-stage Void Refinement cultivator.
Sending a Late-stage Void Refinement cultivator was too high of a standard.
An opponent of this strength had already surpassed his strength.
Since that was the case, he had no choice but to increase his strength.
Lu Qingshan, whose aura had reached Late-stage Nascent Soul, was above Tenth Origin True Venerate. He held the peach blossom in his hand and slashed down with his advantage.
The peach blossom sword was dragged out by him, tearing through the void, and the sound of a sword whistling could be heard.
In the blink of an eye, he used all his strength and used a total of two methods.
Dragon Sparrow and River of Forgetfulness used the momentum of the flying sword to attack.
He used the Shapeless Sword Escape to rush forward and complete the close-range sword slash.
Both methods were offensive.
In other words.
Only attacking, not defending.
Only advancing, no retreating!
This was an extremely crazy behavior, but it was not a reckless decision.
The game experience in his previous life had already made Lu Qingshan's combat experience far richer than any other cultivator. It was almost like muscle memory that he chose this seemingly dangerous but actually the most correct way to fight the enemy.
Why only attacking?
Because this was the opportunity that he had snatched with great difficulty. If he defended, it was equivalent to giving away the opportunity that he had obtained.
When sword cultivators fought, if they were thousands of feet apart, it would be a competition of flying swords. Although it was also clanging and looked incomparably fierce, it would become a protracted battle if their strengths were close.
However, once they got close with flying swords, regardless of the strength of the two sides, life and death would be decided in the blink of an eye.
Ordinary sword cultivators would not easily do such a crazy thing.
However, Lu Qingshan was not afraid.
A sword cultivator who did not dare to fight in close combat was not a good sword cultivator!
Regardless of how other sword cultivators viewed the distinction between the inner sword and the outer sword, in Lu Qingshan's heart, while the flying sword of the inner sword was the trademark of sword cultivators and their specialty, which was very elegant, the outer sword was the best way to test a sword cultivator's courage and skill. It was the most ruthless killing move.
This was also what he was good at!
The sword light filled True Venerate Gui Yuan's eyes, and his back was already covered in cold sweat.
Too fast, too fierce!
He was clearly a Void Refinement cultivator, and Lu Qingshan was only a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, in terms of momentum, he was completely suppressed by Lu Qingshan.
"How can he be so fierce?"
As his mind wavered, True Venerate Gui Yuan hurriedly took out a jade talisman.
Countless green runes flew out from the talisman and formed a jade belt that surrounded True Venerate Gui Yuan's body to protect him.
This was his protective Dharma artifact.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan only sneered.
I've been waiting for you!
In the next instant, a withered yellow color flashed across the green peach blossom like a fallen leaf.
The moment this light flashed, all the light on the jade talisman dissipated, and it turned into an ancient jade that seemed to have been sealed for thousands of years and had lost all its spirituality.
Those runes also disappeared in an instant, and the jade belt collapsed, revealing True Venerate Gui Yuan.
Divine ability: Wither!
Everyone knew that sword cultivators' bodies were the most fragile. How could a sword cultivator not know?
Thinking about it, how could a sword cultivator who knew his own weaknesses not have any self-defense methods?
The higher the level of a sword cultivator, the more complete and brilliant their self-defense methods would be.
However, no matter how brilliant and versatile a sword cultivator's self-defense methods were, it could not be separated from two categories.
It was either a spell technique or a Dharma artifact. It was impossible to rely on one's own body like a body cultivator.
The wither of the peach blossom could make a Dharma artifact that was not of a higher grade lose all its spirituality for five breaths.
Under his nourishment, the peach blossom had already been upgraded to a high-grade Heaven artifact. How many people's Dharma artifacts could surpass this grade?
At least, a sword cultivator in the Late Void Refinement Realm would not have such a defensive Dharma artifact, unless he was also from a Dao Sect!
This was the reason why Lu Qingshan chose to use the peach blossom as a close-combat sword.
In the instant when he made his move, he also predicted True Venerate Gui Yuan's countermeasure.
What if True Venerate Gui Yuan's self-defense method was not a Dharma artifact, but a spell technique?
He already said that it was a prediction, not foresight. Was it not enough to have a 50% chance of being correct?
Fortunately, he got it right with a 50% accuracy rate.
Killing intent flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. The peach blossom sword continued to descend, and the spiritual power in his body poured out.
Secret Sword: Wind Slayer!
Two sword shadows appeared on the peach blossom and greeted True Venerate Gui Yuan.
Lu Qingshan could slash three times in a breath, so how could True Venerate Gui Yuan dodge in a breath's time?
"Damn it!" True Venerate Gui Yuan's eyes were filled with killing intent.
In the face of life and death, he could not care about anything else. Black and white qi surged out from his body, as if covering him with a layer of qi.
A sword cultivator's body was weak. How could a defensive Dharma artifact make him feel at ease?
This was an additional defensive spell that he cultivated. He used his natal sword to produce metal qi. The metal qi would be stored in his body, and he could use it with a thought. It had boundless defensive power.
The only drawback was that this metal qi was a one-time resource and could not be recycled. Once you used it, you would have to cultivate it from scratch.
He had obtained this spell for almost a hundred years. Ever since he started cultivating this spell, he would take out an hour every day to cultivate the metal qi.
Although there were losses, the income was more than the expenditure. After many years of accumulation, not to mention a Nascent Soul sword cultivator, even a Late Void Refinement sword cultivator of the same realm would not be easy to break through this metal qi.
True Venerate Gui Yuan was somewhat angry.
In his life, he had never encountered such a situation where he was led by the nose.
He had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but he could not use them!
His black and white dual baneful swords could form a Yin Yang sword formation. Even a body cultivator of the same realm could be tortured to death.
The problem was that he had to give him a chance to use his sword!
First, it was the Essence Spirit attack. Then, it was the two flying swords. Caught off guard, he could only hurriedly defend.
Just now, when he had finally found his rhythm and was preparing to defend and counterattack, the swordsman had once again gone all out and attacked his face with his sword. After a set of three axes, his Qi had once again become chaotic and he had completely lost his rhythm.
In a battle between sword cultivators, the most important thing was to seize the initiative!
True Venerate Gui Yuan was speechless.
As a Void Refinement cultivator, he was reduced to such a state in the face of a Nascent Soul cultivator. He wanted to go all out and fight, but he did not know where to start. Who could he reason with? Who would believe him?
Fortunately, he cultivated this defensive spell. Otherwise, he would definitely not have a good time today.
"There are only three axes." After releasing the metal qi, True Venerate Gui Yuan had already made up his mind. He smiled at Lu Qingshan and said, "The gap between our realms is right here. Even if it's a sneak attack, what can you do to me?"
Lu Qingshan's expression did not change, and a thunderous sound came from his body.
Secret Sword — Heaven Suppression!
The first sword of Heaven Suppression was swung.
Clang!
A deafening explosion rang out.
The metal qi flowed. Although about 10% of the metal qi was destroyed, True Venerate Gui Yuan was not affected at all.
Lu Qingshan's determination to fight was unusually firm. He did not give up just because his first sword did not succeed. Once he decided to do it, he would do it. This was the basic quality of a sword cultivator, not an advantage.
The second sword of Heaven Suppression was slashed, not giving True Venerate Gui Yuan any time to react.
Sizzle!
At the place where the sword blade and the metal qi collided, spiritual power and metal qi spread in all directions and drifted in the air.
Another 10% of the metal qi was destroyed.
However, there was still a long way to go before it could destroy all the metal qi.
"Heaven Suppression? It's useless. "True Venerate Gui Yuan was extremely proud. He laughed again, intending to disturb Lu Qingshan's Dao Heart.
However, this was also the truth. The two secret swords, Heaven Suppression and Wind Slayer, were Lu Qingshan's trump cards. He knew that unless Lu Qingshan was a Void Refinement realm cultivator, there was no way he could break through his metal qi.
"It's useful." Lu Qingshan said softly. His eyes narrowed slightly as he swung the last sword of Heaven Suppression.
Behind Tenth Origin True Venerate, a graceful and graceful woman appeared.
In her hand, she was holding the Dragon Sparrow that was supposed to be flying around in the form of a flying sword.
Qin Yitian was one step ahead of Lu Qingshan. She swung the Dragon Sparrow in her hand.
Dragon Sparrow: Technique Break.
After the sword, the metal qi that could withstand a Void Refinement realm sword cultivator melted and disappeared like snow in spring.
This was his killing move.
The previous two Heaven Suppression swords were just to let True Venerate Gui Yuan get used to this rhythm. Then, when he was gradually numb, he would unleash his ultimate move.
The peach blossom in Lu Qingshan's hand followed closely behind. His coordination with Qin Yitian was flawless. The moment True Venerate Gui Yuan's protective metal qi disappeared, the peach blossom pierced through his abdomen with unstoppable destructive force.
The sword qi wreaked havoc, easily crushing his Nascent Soul and physical body.
Excruciating pain came from his abdomen.
True Venerate Gui Yuan widened his eyes as he looked at the green peach blossom that was pulled out of his abdomen and Lu Qingshan's expressionless face.
At this moment, he finally understood why the sword cultivators of the Sword Sect could still stand at the top of the sword cultivator chain after ten thousand years of tempering.
Blood splattered everywhere. True Venerate Gui Yuan was filled with endless unwillingness. He also had two questions.
"Do you know who I am? Why did you launch a sneak attack without saying anything? Don't you have any morals? "
"Where did the woman behind him come from?"
…
The battle between sword cultivators was swift and decisive.
In less than twenty breaths of time, the victor was decided.
Lu Qingshan was somewhat relieved.
In a battle between sword cultivators, rhythm was very important.
Just like in an ancient game in his previous life, when two ADC's met on a narrow path and dueled in the imperial city, unless the disparity in equipment was too great, the one who made the first move usually won.
If he hadn't made the first move and gained the upper hand, this battle wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
True Venerate Gui Yuan couldn't figure out until his death how Lu Qingshan knew he was up to no good and decisively made the first move.
He had hidden it so perfectly.
What he didn't know was that although he looked flawless on the surface, the murderous intent in his heart had betrayed him …
Eye Technique — Evil Discernment: Detects the murderous intent of other living beings, regardless of whether the living being has any emotional fluctuations.
The moment Lu Qingshan saw the appearance of the Clear Tenth Origin True Venerate, although he did not find anything wrong, the lingering feeling in his heart earlier drove him to choose to use the eye technique – Evil Discernment for the final confirmation.
A black fish appeared in his eyes.
Then, he saw a monstrous murderous intent.
A murderous intent that seemed to want to fight him to the death.
He didn't know who True Venerate Gui Yuan was, and he didn't have time to think about True Venerate Gui Yuan's origin or whether he would really kill him.
He only knew that the cultivator from Da Xia Kingdom in front of him had murderous intent and was suspected of following him.
More importantly, this was a sword cultivator who had reached the Void Refinement Stage.
This was already a great threat to his safety.
Lu Qingshan couldn't bear it. He wasn't willing to bear it.
Therefore, he didn't hesitate to make the first move.
Thus, the black fish turned into sword qi and rushed out.
It was even more decisive than the most evil demonic cultivator.
…
Looking at True Venerate Gui Yuan's face, which still had a sinister smile from before, he closed his eyes and fell straight from the sky.
Lu Qingshan murmured softly, "Don't laugh like this next time. People who laugh like you usually don't live past a chapter in novels."
