A foreigner's journey

As Qiang Baibing raised his arm, the thin knife pointed directly at the blazing sun above his head. Endless brilliant sunlight fell from the top of his head, and the translucent blade reflected the sunlight.

wrong! Sitting on the throne, Heather narrowed her eyes slightly. It was not reflecting the sunlight, but the thin knife catching the sunlight!

"[Thin knife opens eyes]——"

Qiang Baibing looked calmly and waved his thin knife towards Rong Qihua, who was dozens of meters away:

"[Sundial]!"

I saw a flash of light from the sword in Qiang Baibing's hand, and a terrifying beam of light that was so blazing that it could burn the retina actually condensed into substance and struck Qihua across the battlefield in an instant.

But this terrifying slash that defied common sense and could be called a 'beam slash' failed to directly harm Shichika.

The moment Qiang Baibing swung the thin knife, Qian Qihua had already keenly judged the [trajectory], [speed] and [strength] of the opponent's upcoming swing. He made an instant judgment in his mind and commanded his body to react and dodge. Actions, all these are just his subconscious reactions.

Even so, his left arm was scratched by the incoming beam slash, and the skin of his left upper arm immediately showed excessive burnt black marks. This kind of pain was still within Shichika's endurance range. Without even frowning, he used the super high speed of [The First Secret of Kyōto Ryu: Kyoka Suigetsu] to move rapidly and irregularly on the field, trying to avoid the continuous long-range beams. blow.

On the throne, Heather no longer held her chin in a lazy posture with one hand, but sat upright as if watching a good show, and said to Rong Qishi in her heart——

"Your brother, who is usually so quiet, actually has such a monster-like talent? I thought you were the only freak in the Yin family."

[Shichika is not stupid, but focuses all her energy on training and martial arts. Now that his twenty years of practice have finally come to fruition, it is not surprising that he can perform like this. 】

"But the one who has the absolute advantage now is Qiang Baibing. He has fully developed the potential of the thin sword. Now the thin sword in his hand is called the [Shen Bo Sword]. No matter how strong your brother is, he can't fight against you." An opponent with a level of weapons made by gods."

[You have created the best fighting conditions for Qihua. If Qihua still loses, it means that his training is nothing more than this... he might as well die. 】

"Wow, what a cruel sister! It doesn't matter, based on our current relationship, your brother is my brother. If Shichika really dies, at worst, I will sink the entire Japan to the bottom of the sea to bury him with him, leaving only mine. Black witches."

【...You just have itchy hands and want to destroy something casually, right? Childlike behavior. And I don’t think my relationship with you is as good as this. Do you need me to remind you? You're not my type. 】

"Can't there be that kind of pure comrade-in-arms relationship between men and women? You are so dirty, Rong Qishi!"

【……】

The contact was cut off unilaterally. It was obvious that Rong Qishi was extremely annoyed by Heather's harassment. There were very few people who could rival Heather in terms of gossiping.

Standing next to Heather and not being seen by anyone, Bimu Samsara still looks like a combination of the little prince Hugo and Sephiroth. This represents the most difficult and even almost complete failure that Heather has ever experienced. A defeated enemy. He was bold. He was so excited watching the duel between the two top swordsmen on the stage that he even forgot to pretend to be respectful to Heather, and instead smiled carelessly:

"Ah hahaha! Is that the 'Thin Sword Opens Eyes'? Along the way, I heard many legends about the thin sword that can kill white soldiers. It is said that that move can even cut down the sun in the sky. It is indeed well-deserved!"

Suddenly noticing the playful gaze of Heather next to him, Biwomu Samsara stopped his smile and returned to his respectful look: "Of course, in front of your brilliance, thin swords and white soldiers are just the light of fireflies."

Heather asked Biwomu Samsara casually: "In your opinion, who can win?"

"Hehe, if we only look at the situation, it must be Qiang Baibing's victory."

"Well, keep talking."

"But this is not only a duel between swordsmen, but also a contest between the 'Quan Dao' and the 'Void Sword'. If you look at this level, the winner must be Rong Qihua. Although the 'Quan Dao' claims to be able to control any sword Knife, the thin sword that is a variant of Shikisaki Kiki is not a problem, but the virtual sword is better than pure. This is the battle of Shikisaki Kiki's concepts, "a swordsman who can control any weapon" and "a swordsman who does not use any weapon". Swordsman with any weapon], the villain already has the answer - Qiang Baibing, who is infected by the poison of thin swords, cannot defeat Qihua."

"Ha...even you can see it clearly, but it's a pity that the people on the stage are so caught up in it that they can't extricate themselves."

Heather chuckled and returned her gaze to the stage.

On the stage, the radiating beams of slashes formed a dense network of crossfire, sweeping the extremely hard rock platform riddled with holes, leaving almost no place to stand. Shichika was running rapidly between large pieces of rubble. If he slowed down for even half a second, he would be immediately penetrated by the beam slash.

The surrounding sword-guarding monks and referees immediately sensed something was wrong and fled in panic. Only Jiu'er in the audience was still standing within the extremely dangerous fire range of the thin sword, looking up and firmly watching Qihua and Qiang Baibing engage in a life-and-death battle. .

The man I love is fighting to the death on stage, and I must never take a step back. This is Jiu'er's determination.

Several times, the beam slash almost cut off or penetrated Shichika, but each time he was able to avoid the most deadly attack one step ahead of time. Even so, more and more scorched marks appeared on his body.

"Even [Bo Dao Kaiyan] can't take you down in a short time... As expected of you, Qihua!"

Qiang Baibing kept waving the thin knife at high speed, and beads of sweat appeared on his face. Obviously, the secret of the thin knife's limitation was not a small burden for him. But both Qiang Baibing and Qihua knew that once either party showed signs of fatigue and stopped swinging their swords or dodging, the other party would immediately seize the opportunity to kill them directly.

"Huh...huh..."

Maintaining a super-high movement speed close to [Explosive Shrinking Ground] at all times, Qihua's leg joints were already a little overwhelmed. Under the coverage of the infinite beam firepower network, he could not get close to the ten meters around Qiang Baibing, so he had to While running away quickly, he was desperately thinking about the weaknesses of Qiang Baibing and Bo Dao in his mind.

If the sword is not swung according to the predetermined trajectory (sword tendon), the thin sword will break. Qiang Baibing used his unparalleled sword skills to make up for the biggest shortcoming of the thin sword. The combination of the two seems to be the strongest among all the combinations of Shikizaki Kiki variant sword holders.

But they definitely have weaknesses!

boom--! ! A beam of slash exploded at Qihua's feet, and the flying broken stones caused blood stains on Qihua's face.

In the audience, Jiu'er watched Qihua's situation becoming increasingly dangerous, and while he was anxious, he was also thinking about a game plan.

This endless beam of light slashing cannot be emitted by the thin knife itself, it can only borrow the light of the sun...

sun! Sunlight!

Jiu'er suddenly remembered that Qiang Baibing had always avoided letting himself be within the range of smoke and dust. Not only because the opponent has mysophobia, but also because... because Bo Dao's sundial sword technique requires direct sunlight, and will be forced to interrupt once the light source is blocked!

Regardless of the possibility of being swallowed up by the god's wrath, Jiu'er shouted in the audience: "Qihua! Raise up smoke and dust! Block the sun!!"

Blame? Sunshine, smoke and dust...yes! Qihua's eyes lit up, and she mustered up all her strength to leap backwards to avoid a series of increasingly dense beam slashes. She gathered her strength and twisted her muscles to throw a powerful and heavy punch towards the broken platform beneath her. ——

[The fourth secret of the virtual sword style: Willows and flowers are red]!

The ground was immediately shaken to the point of cracks exploding, and smoke and rubble rose into the sky, not only obscuring Qihua's figure but also covering Qiang Baibing. The density of beam slashing immediately dropped sharply, but it could still form a crushing level.

Jiu'er felt her whole body tremble before she could be happy. Even without looking back, she could feel that Susano'o's eyes had moved to her. It was the displeasure of being disturbed, and such a level of dissatisfaction was not enough. For mortals, it is an eternal hell!

At the critical moment, she was so blessed that she suddenly said loudly: "Honorable God, I am the holder of the virtual sword of Qihua, and the way I wield the sword is my 'wonderful strategy'! If you think this violates your instructions, I am willing to die according to the rules."

Heather had raised her index finger, and dark clouds and rolling thunder gathered above her head. Suddenly, he showed a sudden smile, and the raised finger never touched the armrest of the throne: "Haha... Xiao Jiu'er, you dare to scheme against me, you are so courageous."

In the audience, even though Jiu'er's face turned pale with fright, there was still a smile on his lips.

Because the dark clouds were summoned by the gods, the sunlight above the head was blocked again, and this time it was not just blocked by smoke and dust.

The bright light on the thin sword in Qiang Baibing's hand immediately dimmed and turned back to translucent dark blue. [Thin Eyes Opening with the Thin Blade] was no longer effective.

what happened? Why does sunlight... Qiang Baibing has secretly simulated opening his eyes with a thin knife countless times. Even if the opponent raises sand and dust to block the sun, he is sure to collect enough light energy through the gaps in the sand and dust with the thin blade of the knife, and then attack the enemy. Launch a killing blow.

But the dark clouds summoned by Susano'o were so terrifying that they immediately blocked the sunlight, which eliminated any possibility of Qiang Baibing's comeback.

Smoke and dust suddenly exploded in front of his eyes. The bruised and battered Ren Qihua raised his knife and summoned all his strength to attack Qiang Baibing.

"鑢七花!!" Qiang Baibing waved his thin sword with his backhand and tried his best to counterattack the seventh generation master of the virtual sword style who was attacking.

But as soon as the thin knife touched Qihua's palm, it instantly shattered. The thin sword, no matter how much it is made up for by sword skills, still cannot hide the fact that its blade is extremely fragile.

Thin knife and needle, damaged!

[The Mysteries of the Void Sword Style·Miscellaneous Flowers·Changed]? No, Qihua simply raised his sword, and then used all his strength to hit Qiang Baibing with the strongest and sharpest blow in his life!

"This blow is for Jiu'er!! [Cheerio]!!"

The smoke and dust were divided into two, the earth was divided into two, and Qiang Baibing was also divided into two!

The Sword Guard Temple, the holy place for swordsmen, trembled amidst the roar, and the entire temple was cut into two parts from the central martial arts arena!

Heavy rain fell from the sky, extinguishing the smoke and dust, revealing the figure of the man who was crumbling but standing firm among the gravel.

Qihua!
