I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 859 Qing Deng enters the [Selfless Realm]! [5000]

"What's wrong? Tachibana Aoto, as the holder of Vairocana, is this all you can do?"

Because of the blessing of the "selfless state", Prajna's tone was particularly calm, and his voice was neither sad nor happy... This made people feel even more annoyed.

Qing Deng ignored his ridicule, and had no time to care about it - because at this moment, a new slash came.

Prajna took half a step back - the retreating step contained a movement of gathering strength - and in the next moment, her body leaped out with a blade's light and rushed towards Qingdeng.

The blade was raised above his head and the downward chop was made in an ordinary way... Although it was an ordinary move, the power of his chop was so powerful that it was not an exaggeration to describe it as "shocking the world and making ghosts and gods weep."

The blade had not yet arrived, but Qing Deng had already felt the wind pressure as sharp as a blade and as heavy as a mountain.

He dodged to the side with great difficulty and managed to avoid the attack.

Chosone Kotetsu cut through the air where Aoto was no longer visible.

Just before its blade was about to hit the ground, it suddenly stopped, just an inch above the ground.

It suddenly dropped from a high speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye to zero speed... The wind pressure caused by this swept in all directions, making a rolling sound.

In just a blink of an eye, the lightning-fast sword stopped abruptly - just based on this move, it was enough to conclude that Prajna's control over strength at this time had reached a level that was difficult to imitate.

The long-term combat experience told Qing Deng that if he did not interrupt Prajna's offensive at this moment, he would surely be pursued continuously.

So, he gritted his teeth, and without waiting for his steps to stabilize, he swung his knife back and forth, slashing at Prajna's body.

Although it was a hasty attack, the timing was very good.

Vairocana swung up from below, drawing a thrilling arc in the air... but was bounced away by Nagazone Kotetsu with greater speed and force.

Prajna's attack made Qingdeng unable to cope with it.

Qingdeng's counterattack failed to bring any threat or damage to Prajna.

Anyone with eyes can see that Qing Deng is in an absolute disadvantage!
Be it strength or speed, attack or defense, Prajna has surpassed Qingdeng in all aspects and has no weaknesses.

Especially his reaction speed, which is far superior to Qing Deng.

The biggest bonus brought by the "state of no self" is still concentration.

Because the mind is focused and there is no distraction at all, the "thinking" step is omitted and actions are taken entirely based on subconscious instinctive reactions!

In this way, the reaction speed is naturally extremely fast.

Whether dealing with threats or seizing opportunities, he does it with ease.

In this state, Qing Deng couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes, let alone hit the opponent!
As time went by, the gap between the two became more and more obvious.

Qing Deng's shoulders, chest, calves and other parts of his body were covered with wounds of varying sizes and lengths.

The endless flow of blood dyed half of his body red.

Fortunately, Qing Deng has the talent "Lock Blood +7".

[Note: Blood Lock +7: High blood vitality and strong hematopoietic function; activates red blood cell metabolism, increases hemoglobin oxygen saturation, and enhances body tissues' utilization of oxygen and ATP; activates the body's immune system and enhances phagocytic ability; blood loss of 50% of the total blood volume will cause physical discomfort, and blood loss of 70% of the total blood volume will lead to severe shock or death.]

If it were an ordinary person, he would have fainted on the spot even if he didn't die after losing so much blood.

Although there is the assistance of the talent "Pain Tolerance +8", this only weakens the impact of pain, not completely eliminates the pain.

In addition to the external pain, Qing Deng also felt miserable from the internal pain.

The dense sword beams coming towards him left Qing Deng with no time to even breathe.

At many times, he fought in a state of oxygen deprivation.

As a result, his lungs had already begun to swell and ache due to lack of oxygen.

At this moment, Qing Deng suddenly felt a terrifying pressure like Mount Tai falling from his head - the Prajna in front of him raised the tip of his knife high and adopted the eight-pair formation.

It is obvious that this posture of his hides amazing explosive power!

From assuming the stance to swinging the sword - it only took a blink of an eye.

call out! !

clang! ! !
The sound of breaking through the air and the sound of blocking were heard almost at the same time.

Qing Deng was unable to dodge and could only hold the knife in his hand vertically in front of him to take the blow.

The air waves splashed out, and with them also flew fragments of the blade.

As expected, this was another collision that left new and obvious gaps on both sides' knives.

The terrifying force that no one could resist was transmitted along the blade to Qing Deng's entire body.

Qing Deng was knocked back directly, and his body retreated violently backwards without enough momentum to stop, and his feet plowed shallow grooves on the ground.

Coincidentally, when he steadied himself, he stopped right next to Boss Kiryu.

Without even bothering to check on Boss Kiryu's current condition, Qing Deng hurriedly drew his sword, regrouped, and prepared to deal with the next fierce attack.

But strangely, this time, Prajna did not rush to attack.

I saw him walking towards Qingdeng slowly and leisurely.

He had already gained the upper hand, but suddenly stopped attacking... It was obvious with just the thought that Prajna had no good intentions.

Although he knew very well that there must be something fishy going on, Qing Deng didn't care about anything else and just took the opportunity to rest and recuperate.

This rare opportunity to catch our breath should not be wasted.

Qing Deng did not miss any second and greedily breathed in the fresh air with "huffs and puffs".

Prajna stopped ten meters away from Qingdeng.

At the same time, he spoke again, and said to Qing Deng in his cold tone without any sadness or joy:
"How boring... I say, don't you have any more skills?"

Without waiting for Qing Deng to respond, he continued speaking:
"I heard that you are good at sword drawing."

"The sword-drawing technique you mastered should be the master's 'Flowing Light', right?"

"In that case, show it to me."

"Let me see how much you have learned from Master's 'Liu Guang'."

Qing Deng stared at Prajna solemnly without answering.

At this moment, Prajna is very relaxed. He doesn't even take a fighting stance. He stands straight with his arms hanging naturally.

It's not hard to see... he doesn't take Qing Deng seriously at all! It's like a cat playing with a mouse!

Although he is very arrogant, we have to admit that his arrogance does have its costs.

Judging from the battle between the two just now, even according to a conservative estimate, Qing Deng would fall under Prajna's sword within twenty rounds at most.

Qing Deng remained silent and did not respond to Prajna's provocative words.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued to stare at Prajna.

At this moment, he was concentrating on thinking of a strategy to defeat the enemy.

——As expected, you are a genius that Kiryu-sama values ​​so much...

Halfway through the fight, he suddenly made a breakthrough, realized the legendary "state of selflessness", and turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop... Qing Deng thought that such a plot would only happen in the mouths of novelists and storytellers.

Although this matter is outrageous, it is still within Qingdeng's understanding.

After all, Boss Kiryu had said long ago that this man was a rare genius that only appears once in a century.

The fact that he has such an amazing ability is consistent with the description given to him by Boss Kiryu.

Physical fitness, concentration, techniques... they were behind the other in every aspect.

In this way, it is not a bad idea to place the hope of victory on the powerful and invincible "Liu Guang"!

However... "Flowing Light" is his ultimate secret, and it should never be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

Qing Deng had a hunch: even if he used "Liu Guang", he would not be able to defeat Prajna!

At this moment, Qing Deng suddenly heard the voice of Boss Kiryu.

"Ju-kun..."

Boss Kiryu was calling him... Qing Deng didn't dare to be distracted because Prajna was still in front of him.

He could only turn his head slightly and look at Boss Kiryu out of the corner of his eye.

Kiryu-sensei looked serious and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear clearly.

"This is a feud between me and Keji. There's no need for you to get involved."

"You go ahead."

"Let me deal with this stupid apprentice who has gone astray."

"You still have a long way to go. Don't waste your precious time here."

"Even if I can't beat him right now, I will definitely be able to surpass him in time!"

Although Boss Kiryu said it very tactfully, his meaning was very clear: run away!

Judging from the expression on Boss Kiryu's face, Prajna's breakthrough on the battlefield was indeed beyond his expectations!
Boss Kiryu naturally understands the power of the "state of no self".

He knew that Prajna in the "selfless state" was definitely not an opponent that Qing Deng could handle at present. In order to save his life, he directly advised Qing Deng to run away quickly... Boss Kiryu's fear of Prajna and his worry about Qing Deng were beyond words.

Although he tried to persuade Qing Deng to escape in a relaxed tone, as if he had a way to fight against Prajna, Qing Deng exhausted his optimism and did not think that Boss Kiryu, who had used up all his strength and could not even stand up, would have a good ending after facing Prajna alone.

This is Arashiyama, a densely wooded area with complex terrain.

If Qing Deng was determined to escape, with the advantage of geographical location, there was a high probability that Qing Deng would be able to escape.

But what happens next?

Prajna seems to have become a madman who has lost his mind.

In order to make Boss Kiryu recognize his ability, Qing Deng feels that he can do anything.

The scene where he raised his knife to cut off Boss Kiryu's arm was still deeply imprinted in Qing Deng's mind.

"..."

Qing Deng looked deeply at Boss Kiryu, as if thinking.

After a while, he smiled as if he couldn't help himself.

"...Boss Kiryu, when I think about it, you really helped me a lot in the past."

"Not only did he teach me swordsmanship, but he also helped me broaden my horizons."

"You've helped me so much, but not only did I not repay you, I also always caused you trouble."

"Even my marriage to Wu was arranged thanks to your hard work."

"So... just watch!"

Having said this, Qing Deng suddenly raised his voice, straightened his body, and looked intently at Prajna opposite him.

"Although I am still just a fledgling kid and I dare not call myself mature, my wings are enough to protect you from the wind and rain."

"You've always been the one to protect me."

"Now, it's my turn to protect you!"

"Just watch, I will cut off everything that needs to be cut off, and protect everyone who needs to be protected!"

After saying that, Qing Deng stepped forward with a knife and left Boss Kiryu's side.

Under the astonished gaze of Boss Kiryu, he strode towards Prajna.

Looking at Qing Deng who was walking straight towards him, Prajna said coldly:
"Although the distance is a bit far, I vaguely heard Master urging you to escape quickly."

"Is this really okay for you? You ignore the good intentions of your master and foolishly come here to die."

"The gap between you and me right now cannot be made up by you concentrating and risking your life..."

Before Prajna could finish, Qing Deng interrupted her impatiently:
"You're so noisy. You must have been criticized for being nagging a lot, right?"

Although in the "selfless state", Prajna's expression became very little and there was almost no emotional fluctuation, but after hearing Qingdeng's ridicule, a hint of impatience still appeared between his brows.

"You just said 'the winner has been decided'? Oh, you are so brave to say that."

"Who knows who will win or lose until the end?"

As Qing Deng spoke, he spread his legs, raised the tip of his knife, and moved forward with the sharp tip of the knife pointing directly at Prajna's chest.

"Stop whining and let's get on with it!"

"My blood has finally gotten hot, I can't let it get cold again!"

After hearing this, Prajna snorted coldly.

"Since you are determined to die, I will grant your wish! I will send you to see the King of Hell!"

The moment he finished speaking, he disappeared from where he was.

The next second, he appeared in front of Qingdeng and slashed him with his sword.

Just like the super-fast slash just now, it was like an eagle gliding down from the sky, vicious and tricky.

According to Prajna's idea, facing this attack, Qing Deng's only response could be "barely defending" or "evading in a panic."

But he didn't expect that at the same moment when Prajna swung his sword, Qingdeng transformed into a shadow and smoothly flashed to Prajna's side, causing his sword to miss.

No matter the timing or speed of dodging, it's all impeccable!
Qing Deng’s counterattack was equally impeccable.

call out! !

Qing Deng's elbow bounced back suddenly, and the knife was like a meteor, slashing straight at Prajna's eyebrows.

In the "selfless state", there are no negative emotions such as "carelessness" and "anxiety".

Prajna dodged at his fastest speed... However, the tip of Vairocana's knife still grazed the corner of his eyebrow, leaving a small wound.

Feeling the slight pain at the corner of her eyebrow, Prajna turned her head to look at Qingdeng in surprise.

Qing Deng is still the same Qing Deng, with no change in appearance.

But...but...Qingdeng at this moment gave Prajna an indescribable strange feeling!
The ever-changing battle situation does not leave Prajna with any spare energy to think about the problems.

Qing Deng took advantage of the situation and slid forward, fighting bravely and fearlessly with Prajna.

At first glance, Prajna still has the upper hand.

Prajna's fierce attack suppressed Qingdeng and continued to inflict wounds on Qingdeng.

However, every few moves, Qingdeng would launch an attack that made Prajna feel threatened, making it difficult for Prajna to completely defeat Qingdeng and end the battle.

Not only that, Qingdeng's counterattack frequency seems to be on the rise!

The originally one-sided battle situation suddenly saw some sporadic turnarounds.

At first, Prajna still looked arrogant and regarded Qingdeng as an ant.

But gradually, the arrogant look on his face faded, replaced by an increasingly intense look of astonishment - even the "cold-faced effect" brought about by the "selfless state" could not conceal this significant change in expression.

As an opponent fighting against Qing Deng, he could clearly feel that Qing Deng was getting stronger!

With every passing second and every move, he is getting stronger!
——This guy…! What on earth is going on…? !

Prajna gritted her teeth and rushed towards Qingdeng fiercely.

As a result, he happened to bump into Qing Deng who was also rushing towards him.

Although it was just a quick glimpse, he did meet Qing Deng's eyes—a pair of eyes flashing with excitement, staring at him like a wolf.

……

……

——How long has it been since I felt this way?
The violently beating heart caused Qingdeng to repeatedly hear dull "boom" and "boom" sounds deep in his eardrums.

Not sure if it was his illusion, but Qing Deng always felt as if he could hear the sound of blood surging in his body.

——I forgot when it started, but there is no rival around me who can match me.

——Either it is vulnerable to a single blow; or it fails miserably with just the slightest effort.

——He was able to break through in the middle of a battle and realize the legendary "selflessness"... Awesome! He deserves the title of "unparalleled genius"!
——An anxious dilemma...

——A tough opponent...

——Tired body...

——The painful wound...

——It makes me miss it so much... I am back in despair again!
——That’s just right! The long-lost hot feeling spreads throughout my body!

——Whether you are Prajna or anyone else, I will defeat you all!

——In order to protect my loved ones, relatives and friends, and to protect all those who deserve protection, I will become stronger than anyone else!

……

……

After the combo failed, Prajna adjusted the direction of her body and then pounced on Qingdeng like a carnivorous beast.

Faced with Prajna's new round of pursuit, Qingdeng suddenly did something unusual - he suddenly lowered his head, and the shadow hid his facial features very well.

He stood upright, allowing Prajna to attack him, and silently raised the knife with his right arm, with the tip of the knife pointing directly at Prajna's eyebrows.

At this moment, Prajna seemed to sense something, her pupils suddenly shrank, and then she stopped reflexively, then leaped back and away from Qingdeng.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why don't you come over?"

Qing Deng said as he slowly raised his head.

The first thing that caught Prajna's eye was a pair of eyes that were flashing with a strange light.

"The real battle has just begun... Let's continue!"

The moment he finished speaking, a completely different "momentum" from the usual erupted from Qing Deng!

The bad news is that the boss has entered the second stage, and the good news is that Qing Deng has also entered the second stage. You can carefully explore the changes in the state of mind of Qing Deng and Prajna before they entered the "selfless state", and you can intuitively feel the difference between the two.
