Pawn Crossing the River

Just when I was about to fall asleep, someone brought me a pillow.

What does Qi Xuansu want to do most after practicing the "Magic Sword"? There is no doubt that even if he is testing the sword, but this is the Wanxiang Dao Palace, not the rivers and lakes, Qi Xuansu can only suppress the murderous intention that is strengthened by practicing the sword.

In fact, the original "Devil Sword" has the intention of killing, but it does not have such a heavy killing intention. It should be more of madness following instinct and intuition. However, the Demon Sword learned by Qi Xuansu is the improved "Devil Sword" of Patriarch Ning. Known as the "Blood Knife", its murderous intent can be imagined, so the improved "Magic Knife" is quite similar to fighting poison with poison. It increases the proportion of murderousness to offset part of the madness, and turns the madness into murderousness. Striving for a glimmer of clarity between the transformation and pull of the two, it has become a situation where murderous and demonic natures are both equally important.

It has to be said that Patriarch Ning's ingenuity was ingenious. As a result, the lack of extreme madness caused the first level of true power of the "Devil Sword" to be reduced, but it invisibly matched the second level of the "Devil Sword". Ge Zhenyi, overall, the power of the "Magic Sword" has increased.

This is also one of the flaws of the original "Magic Sword", because the "Magic Sword" grew from weak to strong as Song Zheng grew up, and was continuously improved and improved by Song Zheng. Song Zheng did not have worldly ambitions from the beginning. At the earliest, he was just a small person, struggling in the world. At that time, he was not much different from Qi Xuansu. Except for some thoughts of wealth and wealth, he just survived. The first true meaning of "Magic Knife" is derived from this, to survive after death. Only the madness without fear of life and death can survive. It also means to climb up desperately. Anyone who blocks the way will be killed. To kill, it sounds a bit childish, but with the mentality of killing God when God blocks God, and killing Buddha when Buddha blocks Buddha, calling him "Demon Sword" is not a slur.

As for the true meaning of Zhi Ge, it is the change of mentality after Song Zheng ascended to the top and became a powerful force. At that time, Song Zheng's consideration was no longer whether he could survive, nor was he trying to find a smooth road to the sky, but to fight for the world. Therefore, The true meaning of killing to stop killing was born from this, and the "Demon Sword" also began to transform. The yin and yang were born, and whether the extreme was peaceful or not, it actually had the same meaning as the upright and vast "Heavenly Sword".

It's just that Song Zheng had no intention of passing this skill on to future generations, or he didn't have time to consider it, so naturally he wouldn't deliberately modify the first true meaning. This also caused a partial separation between the two true meanings. If there is no corresponding With his own experience, it is difficult to understand Song Zheng’s huge transformation from seeking a chance of survival, blocking the god of murder, to aiming for the world, and killing to stop war. If others try to learn from it, they are likely to get stuck between the two true meanings. This is This is why Sun Hewu said that creating his own unique skills is the most suitable for him.

But when Patriarch Ning modified and supplemented the "Magic Sword", he was already in his sixties. Not only was he highly cultivated, he also experienced vicissitudes of life and witnessed and participated in the entire process of bringing peace to the world. On the contrary, he was able to view the "Magic Sword" from an overall perspective and integrate himself The unique skill "Blood Knife" is integrated into it, modifying the first level of true meaning, reducing the gap between the two, and lowering the threshold.

This move has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that as long as you can enter the second level of true meaning, you will be able to fight against the "Heavenly Sword", and it will be easier to keep the spiritual platform clear. The disadvantage is that at the first level of true meaning, the power is reduced. Even if the mind is retained, the murderous intention is more serious, and it is inevitable to commit more killings.

For example, when encountering someone who can or cannot be killed, he might have let it go because of the benevolence of a single thought, but after his murderous intention increases, he will kill him directly without even thinking about it, but he cannot be said to have lost his mind. After all, reason itself is affected by emotions, and it just depends on who has the upper hand. "Tai Shang Wang Qing Jing" means to completely abandon the influence of all emotions and pursue the ultimate reason, while "Magic Knife" allows various emotional instincts to overwhelm reason. Dominating oneself, even continuously amplifying it, is also an extreme.

Now Qi Xuansu's words and deeds are not obviously abnormal, and he even speaks some stage words. It cannot be said that he is irrational. But if people who are familiar with Qi Xuansu are here, they will obviously feel that Qi Xuansu is a little different. This is the change brought about by the "Magic Sword".

Qi Xuansu also felt the rising murderous intention and could only choose to restrain it. It was just that it was better to block it than to let it go, and restraint was always better than venting. It happened that Chen Longtu took the initiative to provoke, but he just hit the muzzle of his gun.

Private fights are prohibited in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, with the exception of Xun Garden. The prerequisite for a private fight is that both parties must agree. Since both of them agree to compete, it is naturally in line with the rules.

The two came to Xunyuan from Genyuan. This was originally a place for martial arts performance. Patriarch Ning and Grandmaster Shangguan used to compete here for martial arts. Even though it has now been changed into a residence for candidates and preparations for sacrificial wine, some small buildings are still preserved. The school field is enough for ordinary people to fight against each other.

It was late at night, so the school ground was naturally deserted. The two chose a secluded school ground that would not affect others' sound sleep, and occupied two sides of the school ground.

Qi Xuansu took out "Fei Ying" from the Xumi object with a calm expression, but he really felt that the moment he held the knife, the murderous intention began to rise, even overpowering the madness.

An inexplicable impulse forced him to kill the person in front of him immediately.

Chen Longtu also felt Qi Xuansu's murderous intention, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

He originally thought that Qi Xuansu was a person, but he didn't expect it to be nothing more than that.

Stirred by his few words, he flew into a rage and wanted to kill someone. He couldn't calm down at all. How could he succeed in such a narrow situation?

But he didn't know that this had nothing to do with the pattern, or even Qi Xuansu's temperament, but that the "magic knife" continuously amplified and even alienated Qi Xuansu's various negative emotions, especially after holding the knife and having a sharp blade in his heart, the murderous intention arose. Even if the two of them have no grievances, they can still create a murderous intention out of thin air. If you are not careful, you can even wield a knife against your closest relatives and loved ones.

Qi Xuansu held the knife in his right hand, and the index and middle fingers of his left hand came together and slowly wiped across the narrow body of the knife, which was as clear as water, reflecting Qi Xuansu's eyes.

Qi Xuansu was shocked to realize that his eyes had become bloodshot at some point.

Chen Longtu also took out his own weapon, which turned out to be a big gun.

One inch is long and one inch is strong. If one has the same level of cultivation and equal strength, a short sword cannot hold up a big spear.

Chen Longtu looked at Qi Xuansu with his eyes and said in a brisk tone: "Please enlighten me on Quanzhen Tao's 'Wuji Spear'."

Qi Xuansu wanted to say a few words that were neither humble nor arrogant, but the moment he opened his mouth, he said with a rather mocking tone: "'Wuji Spear'? I saw Deputy Hall Master Zhang play it before, but it was not as good as her 'Cihang Pudu Sword Code'" ”

Chen Longtu smiled lightly and said: "It may be insufficient to compete with Deputy Hall Master Zhang. But it is more than enough to kill you."

Qi Xuansu knew that he had lost control, so he decided not to say anything more and just pulled out a sword.

Chen Longtu took one step forward, and as if he had shrunk to an inch, he crossed most of the school field in an instant, rushed to a few feet in front of Qi Xuansu, and pierced Qi Xuansu's chest with the big gun in his hand.

Qi Xuansu stumbled backwards and barely dodged the shot, but did not draw the sword immediately.

Chen Longtu deserves to have the word "dragon" in his name. He really shoots out his gun like a dragon, and fires out his gun non-stop. The harsh wind from the gun shook the surrounding trees, and countless leaves rustled down. The momentum was really compelling.

If you look carefully, you will find a small vortex at the tip of the spear, which contains the power of the spiral. If you fall into it, you may be involuntarily controlled by the tip of the spear, or you may lose your weapon directly.

Qi Xuansu still dodged and did not fight back.

Chen Longtu kept firing his gun, and said in amusement, "Fellow Daoist Qi, can you just hide? How could Deputy Hall Master Zhang fall in love with someone like you?"

Qi Xuansu's eyes were filled with more and more blood. If he looked carefully, he could see that the "Feiying" in his hand was trembling slightly, as if he was struggling.

After more than ten moves, Chen Longtu still failed to hurt Qi Xuansu at all. His previous cynicism was no longer there, and his expression gradually became serious.

Qi Xuansu could barely dodge his big guns every time. If it happened once, it was good luck, but if it happened every time, wouldn't it mean that every move he made was expected by Qi Xuansu?

This is the mystery of the "Magic Sword". The "Heavenly Sword" calculates various possibilities through celestial calculations, as if predicting the future, and then responds in advance. The "Magic Knife" fights the enemy through instinctive reactions and intuition, eliminating the need for thinking and maximizing the speed of reaction. At first glance, the reaction is so fast that it does not look like a temporary reaction, but rather like it has been anticipated. It is completely different. It's an extreme, but the final result is the same.

The violent wind and rain could not last long. After Chen Longtu fired more than ten shots in a row, he finally inevitably fell into decline. At this moment, Qi Xuansu rose up and struck directly at Chen Longtu's weakness.

If the "Heavenly Sword" is said to have seen through and calculated the flaws. Then the "Magic Sword" smells and feels the flaw, which is the same as relying on feeling to avoid attacks.

Chen Longtu immediately felt a huge crisis and did not dare to take it lightly. The big gun danced like a tornado within a radius of ten feet.

Qi Xuansu, on the other hand, was not afraid of the fierce energy and continued to strike wildly with his sword.

Each sword aimed directly at the flaw in Chen Longtu's marksmanship, causing Chen Longtu to focus on one thing and miss the other.

Chen Longtu also thought about using offense instead of defense, but he found that Qi Xuansu didn't care.

In other words, it's not that Qi Xuansu doesn't care, how can anyone not care about their own body? It's that the "magic sword" doesn't care. Just as a person doesn't care if the blade in his hand is broken, then how can a sword care about the life or death of the person wielding it when he controls a person with a sword?

The difference between victory and defeat in a competition is completely different from the difference between life and death in a fight.

At this time, Qi Xuansu seemed to be deciding between life and death.

If the realms are equal and there is no real difference in skills, then the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road.

The two exchanged wounds for injuries. Chen Longtu stabbed Qi Xuansu once, but Qi Xuansu returned the blow three times. He lost all courage and could only defend blindly, but Qi Xuansu was like a ghost, looking forward and suddenly behind, changing. No trace.

As Qi Xuansu continued to use his sword, Chen Longtu felt that countless sharp blades were coming from all directions, leaving him unable to hide and defend himself.

Out of fear and anger, Chen Longtu fired a shot at the last moment.

"Wuji Spear" is different from other marksmanship. Its core essence lies in drawing an arc into a circle, rather than picking a line with the gun.

The victory or defeat was decided in an instant. Qi Xuansu allowed Chen Longtu's big gun to cut off his calf, but "Feiying" stabbed into Chen Longtu's throat.

Blood kept pouring out of Chen Longtu's mouth and he was speechless.

The big gun fell to the ground.

Qi Xuansu was about to cut off the man's head, but a palm stretched out from the side and held down Qi Xuansu's wrist.
