I can't live forever, so I have to reincarnate infinitely

Chapter 793 Who is the Protagonist of the Era?

In Jing Ruoxu's suddenly shrunken pupils, there was nothing reflected.

However, in his spiritual sense, he could clearly see an unparalleled flying sword stabbing towards him.

It was just such a simple, unchanging stab.

But Jing Ruoxu felt that he was at a loss for words and could not describe the elegance of this stab.

It seemed that all the sword techniques that he understood, did not understand, and even had never heard of or seen before, had been condensed in this stab.

He hadn't sweated for hundreds of years, but at this moment, cold sweat was pouring down his face and his hands and feet were cold.

How to deal with it?
How to resolve it?
How to avoid it?
He did not move until the flying sword approached his forehead.

I don’t know how to move.

He once thought that he had found his own path in swordsmanship.

Even when facing Buxu monks or Hedao masters, he can still draw his sword bravely.

But at this moment, he seemed to have returned to his mortal days. Facing the Jindan sword cultivators in the sect, he could only look up to them and had no courage to draw his sword at all.

The flying sword stopped.

The figure didn't turn around, but just asked calmly: "Do you understand?"

The sound swirled in Jing Ruoxu's throat, but not a single word came out.

The other party seemed a little disappointed. "Go back and think about it first. If you figure it out a little, come back to me. I am very optimistic about you. Don't let me down."

Jing Ruoxu barely regained his speech ability at this time, and said in a stiff voice: "Thank...thank you for your guidance, senior."

After Jing Ruoxu staggered away, Zhang Qing frowned in a green gauze skirt and walked slowly to Du Youqian's side. She looked at the direction where Jing Ruoxu left with a worried look in her eyes. "You showed him the sword of immortality, but the gap between you and him is too big. Will he feel hopeless and never recover from it? Will such a good seedling be ruined like this?"

Du Youqian disagreed, "I don't need an ordinary Buxu sword cultivator. If he can't break through under pressure, being a Huashen sword cultivator won't make much difference to me, to Lingxiao Sword Pavilion, and even to himself. But if he can withstand the pressure and break through from the inside out, then in the future he will be a sharp sword, or he may become Hedao, or even not stop at Hedao - although it won't be of much use to me, it will still be beneficial to Lingxiao Sword Pavilion."

Zhang Ping smiled and said, "What the master says is always reasonable. So let's do it. I hope he can rise to the occasion under pressure instead of backing down."

Du Youqian nodded, "Give him a little more trust. This boy is indeed extraordinary, and he is a sword genius that only appears once in a million people. Although he cannot become the protagonist of the era, and is not the brightest star, he should also have his moments of glory."

As for who the protagonist of the era was... Du Youqian was not clear about it and did not dare to take the blame himself.

But now he has the undisputed title. If I am not the protagonist of the era, who else is worthy of it?

Do you have a good match?

~~~~~~~~~
Practicing the three major exercises together may make you stronger, but your speed cannot be increased.

If he practices the "Dongzhen Eight Scenes Golden Jade Flying Scripture", or takes the path of pure sword cultivation and practices the "Yuchen Canghua Taiyuan Sword Scripture", Du Youqian is confident that he can form a pill in a few years, form an infant in thirty years, become a spirit in a hundred years, and walk into the void in three hundred years.

If one only practices the "Tai Shang Dong Zhen Nine Turns and Nine Transformations Dancing Heaven Scripture", twice as much time will be enough.

However, when practicing the three major exercises at the same time, many conflicts are inevitable, and constant adjustments are required to carefully maintain a balance.

Although Du Youqian was very familiar with two of the three techniques, and the other one was even created by him, it was still much slower than practicing the "Taishang Dongzhen Nine Turns and Nine Changes Dancing Heaven Sutra" alone.

It was almost three hundred years later that Du Youqian finally reached the threshold of becoming a god, and he was only one step away from taking it.

However, just when he was planning to retreat and advance, Jing Ruoxu came to visit him.

During these three hundred years, Jing Ruoxu never left the sect and has been in seclusion to study sword skills.

If it were someone else, Du Youqian would advise them not to work in isolation.

But before he became a spirit, Jing Ruoxu had fought all over the world, had enough opponents to test his sword against, and had a lot of experience traveling in the world. So he had enough spiritual nourishment to support him in a long period of seclusion so that he would not be lonely.

Over the past three hundred years, Du Youqian had been paying attention to Jing Ruoxu's movements and knew them all. So when he appeared in front of Du Youqian like a divine sword that had restrained all its sharpness, Du Youqian was not surprised at all.

"You came."

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I'm already here."

...Wait, what's with this strong smell of cologne?

Du Youqian quickly changed his lines, "Now that you have gained some understanding, you should continue to fight all over the world, gradually build up your confidence, and accumulate an invincible momentum."

The corner of Jing Ruoxu's mouth twitched, "But as long as I think of your sword, I can't be invincible."

He raised his head and stared at Du Youqian with a firm gaze, "I must face your sword once again, even though I know the result will be another miserable defeat."

Du Youqian smiled. He understood Jing Ruoxu's thoughts.

If Jing Ruoxu had not come to his place and experienced that sword again, even if he was invincible in the world, his Tao heart would always have flaws.

But Jing Ruoxu mustered up the courage to face himself again. Even if he was defeated miserably, at least he defeated himself.

The winner is strong, and the self-winner is strong.

Only after passing this level can Jing Ruoxu be considered a strong man.

"Draw your sword." Du Youqian said.

"No, senior, please draw your sword." Jing Ruoxu said.

"If I draw my sword first, you might not have the chance to do so." Du Youqian said in a flat tone, stating the fact.

Jing Ruoxu insisted: "If that's the case, it's because I haven't cultivated enough. I should go back and continue my retreat, and then challenge you again."

Du Youqian smiled again, and he found Jing Ruoxu more and more interesting.

He could also guess the reason why Jing Ruoxu insisted that he draw his sword first.

This guy wants to make another breakthrough under his own pressure and achieve a higher level in kendo!
Of course, this is not without risks.

If Jing Ruoxu were to suffer another crushing defeat, without even having the chance to draw his sword, it would be a fatal blow to his confidence, and he would probably never be able to use a sword again in his life.

If you succeed, you become a dragon; if you fail, you become a worm.

"Then watch out." Du Youqian had no intention of showing mercy.

There would be no point in showing mercy.

Moreover, Du Youqian's sword was not used to suppress the opponent by force, but to suppress the opponent with the extremely high level of swordsmanship, without any mercy.

Jing Ruoxu closed his eyes.

In his consciousness, an extremely sharp flying sword rose in front of his opponent and slashed across with a simple move.

Horizontal slash?

Not a thorn?
But Jing Ruoxu soon realized that there was no difference.

Whether it is a horizontal slash or a stab, they all use the simplest moves to evolve the ultimate in kendo.

He began to tremble, as if he was back in that morning three hundred years ago, when he was as weak as a mortal before a simple sword strike.
