Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song

Chapter 46
Xun Qing's movements were a step slower, and he was already too late to catch up.

I only saw the cyan torrent that swept across the audience suddenly converge and converge on that blade. Wherever it passed, countless mechanism puppets stopped for a moment in a uniform manner, and then they moved towards the two sides neatly. side apart.

It's like opening up the ocean.

"Can't you slow down?"

Xun Qing was helpless, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Everyone go this way, hurry up, don't push and push."

The mechanism giant hit hard with a hammer, smashing a ferocious mechanism snake on the ground, twisted it into a ball roughly, and then turned around and threw it back.

Turning around, he opened the gap in the wall and expanded his way of escape.

After there were no more innocent victims, it was finally easy to cast.The huge armored giant didn't even need to attack specifically, as long as it bent down and rolled around on the ground, it could crush those puppets by its own weight.

But after being infused with hatred and madness, those zombie-like puppets rushed up continuously, climbed up the legs, entangled in the arms, and continuously attacked the armor with their broken limbs, destroying the exposed fragile joints .

It's as if someone has guided the maze for them.

With the explosion of mana crystals, a ball of flames suddenly appeared from the giant's legs, and the huge mechanism giant staggered and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of living corpse puppets rushed up, one after another, trampling each other, turning into a surging tide, engulfing him.

The pain of broken limbs came back with the induction of the mechanism law. Xun Qing roared and tore off the chain of restriction. In an instant, the furnace was overloaded and the terrifying high temperature spread.Scorching wind gushes out from the cracks in the giant's body.

The mechanism giant was shrouded in the flames, roaring and soaring into the sky!

run wild!

Like a burning chariot, it advanced mightily, and in an instant, it opened a passage to the gap for the friends behind it.

"Li Bai!!!"

Xun Qing shouted hoarsely, behind the giant, a white robe seized this precious opportunity, stepped on its back and shoulders, and jumped up.

Like a star falling, the mighty sword energy converges, transforms into a sharp blade, and stabs down towards the darkness under the cracks in the earth!
"Tips for carving insects..."

Under the weeping sun, Lu Daoxuan raised his hand, spread out his five fingers, and clenched it tightly!
"—heaven and earth together."

The roar burst out suddenly.

The originally opened rift changed again amidst the wailing of the earth, and the iron walls on both sides were like a big hideous mouth, closing towards Li Bai who was falling in the air, thunderous!

At this moment, even Nuoda's Fangshi is just a puppet and everything in Lu Daoxuan's hands.

Under the blessing of that core, his organ law has spread all over the entire city, bringing everything under control. This is a trap that has been prepared long ago.

—Wait for him, throw yourself into the trap!
While roaring, the iron wall came crushed by the hurricane, and then came to an abrupt stop!

Before a pair of spread arms.

The furnace roared.

Blazing high temperature spreads.

From mid-air, Li Bai looked back in astonishment, and saw the mechanism giant chasing after him desperately.

Under the crack in the armor, Xun Qing smiled triumphantly at him.

Waved.

Like a giant god propping up the sky, the overloaded armored giant firmly stuck in the closed gap, opening the final passage for Li Bai with his own body.

To stop the closing of the earth.

Then, as Li Bai fell into the darkness together, he fell to the ground and bursts of smoke came out.

"Hey, Xun Qing, are you okay?"

Li Bai propped himself up from the ground and rushed over.

"I'm still alive, don't worry, my fate is very hard."

In the broken giant's chest, the mechanism engineer coughed violently, covered his mouth, swallowed the sticky blood, and hoarsely urged: "Don't forget what you are here for, go!"

Li Bai's footsteps froze, and after a moment of silence, he nodded vigorously.

"I'll wait for you inside."

He said goodbye softly, turned around, and rushed out deeper into the darkness.

Just like that, watching Li Bai's figure disappear into the distance, Xun Qing forced a smile, opened his mouth suddenly, and vomited a large amount of blood.

Painful and tired.

But unexpectedly, I didn't feel scared.

He leaned on the giant's chest, raised his head with difficulty, and looked up.

Behind the closed crack, only a ray of blue sky light falls.

Brightened up his smile.

Full of wishes.

"We must catch up, Li Bai..."
.
In the vast and disturbing darkness, Li Bai rushed forward, the sword light flickered, illuminating countless intricate roads, but those forked roads did not make Li Bai feel confused.

On the contrary, a strong intuition is guiding him through those complicated paths.

Go deeper.

Towards where the enemy is!
Until the gate in front of him was broken, in the hall covered with blood traces, under the core that looked like the sun weeping blood, the swordsman in red slowly turned his head.

Facing his opponent, he raised his eyebrows. .

"It's so slow, Li Bai, I'm almost falling asleep."

Ji Xianke raised his head, drank the wine in the jug, and casually threw it aside.In the sheath around the waist, the blade trembled silently and screamed, almost tearing the steel bondage, and came out of the box!

When looking at Li Bai, the face full of laughter revealed an expression of excitement: "This is really, long time no see!"

Li Bai shook his head and stepped forward, shaking his head coldly: "Isn't it only seven days?"

"It's more painful to be imprisoned, but missing you, brother Taibai." Ji Xianke laughed, "I don't see you every day, it's like three autumns. I have been waiting for you for 21 years, why can't I be more enthusiastic?"

"Sorry, I can't be happy to be missed by a guy like you."

Li Bai raised his sword and asked calmly: "Besides, there's no need to talk nonsense now, right? Both you and I have been waiting for this duel for too long..."

"Why are you so impatient?"

Ji Xianke sighed softly: "After all, time flies so fast—"

At that moment, the high-pitched cry stung Li Bai's ears.

The blade screamed, and then, a frost-colored iron light burst out from Ji Xianke's hand, cutting through the darkness, and rushing towards his face, like thunder and lightning, it was already close at hand!

The pupils of the eyes can almost feel the chill above the sharp blade.

No, compared to Thunder, it is impossible to tell which side is faster.

It's even more... scary than that!
But I can't return it.

Once he retreats, he will lose the room to fight back, and he will not be able to use his full speed.

Then, there is only one method left.

——Fast and fast!
The dazzling iron light burst out from the darkness again.

Li Bai's figure has disappeared in place, and with Ji Xianke, only in the midst of countless sparks flying, there is a vague afterimage.

That is no longer the speed that human eyes can capture.

What can be glimpsed is only the remaining traces of the pale thunder and the blue sword energy, wandering freely and horizontally from this vast and deep darkness, and leaving fleeting sparks when they collide with each other.

Different from all previous opponents.

I never thought that there would be such a fierce swordsmanship in this world, and I couldn't imagine that such a terrifying swordsmanship would be so simple.

It's not about simplifying, but from the very beginning, no other possibilities have been considered.

He didn't even think about his own protection at all. After throwing away all irrelevant changes, what was left was only the sophisticated and concise 'stab' and 'cut'!
This is pure and incomparable assassination swordsmanship!

Chasing speed schemingly, training the body with painstaking efforts, and overriding matter with will, finally brewed such an amazing iron light from the mortal body.

But now, with the assistance of steel and organs, this already amazing speed has completely stepped into the realm of nightmares.

But amidst dozens of times of fierce attacks between the show, Ji Xianke still had the leeway to laugh: "Not bad, not bad, hurry up, Li Bai, hurry up!"

boom!
The lightning flashed by, and the thunderous slash was blocked by Qinglian's sword energy.

Ji Xianke stepped forward, lowered his sword blade, and stared at Li Bai's face, seemingly ecstatically: "You are about to step into the same realm as me!"

"I'm not interested in your field!"

From this short distance, Li Bai's wrist was reversed, and Qinglian's sword energy fluctuated, hesitating in an instant, cutting-pulling-washing, and finally-twisting!

In an instant, the two passed by.

There was a rip on Li Bai's cuff, but under Ji Xianke's red robe, there was a deep cut mark on the iron arm holding the sword!

Ji Xianke froze slightly.

Eyebrow raised.

At that moment just now, how many different changes have occurred?
Haidu's plow stand, Xuanyong's eight swords, the wind sweep in the clouds... ten kinds?Twenty kinds?Or a hundred?No, in the end, they all turned into one kind.

Those swordsmanship that are diametrically opposed to each other and spanning hundreds of years, and even the changes in spears and axes, are all included in it, forming a terrifying qualitative change unique to him!
"I have to admit, Li Bai—"

He turned around slowly, sincerely admiring: "With pure sword skills, you have reached the pinnacle!"

"What? Want to admit defeat?"

Li Bai asked.

"No, it's quite the opposite." Ji Xianke's eyes were bloodshot: "In this case, I can use a little more strength."

Under his shattered red clothes, redness like flames emerged.

Steel trembled.

The machine pivot turned and roared.

From the half body made of iron, burning red suddenly emerged, and endless power burst out from the operation of the steel, blessing and the blade.

And then, the hurricane hits us!

Pale air waves instantly swept in all directions, followed by ear-piercing roars.

Just an understatement of slashing, it made the thick masonry ground crack.The careless sweep tore apart the beams and columns, causing the entire underground to roar and tremble.

Everywhere it went, everything fell apart.

Accompanied by the violent collapse, boulders continued to fall from the top of the head, and then they were randomly torn into pieces.

The opponent in front of him seemed to lose his human disguise in an instant, and turned into some kind of weird monster, something bigger and more unpredictable.

Like thunder, storms, floods, or pure destruction!
Destroy everything tyrannically!
"What's the matter? What's the matter? What's the matter, Li Bai?" Ji Xianke laughed and swung his sword: "Is it just this level of fuss? It's too immature!"

"Is that what you want? To drive everything to destruction?"

Li Bai stared at his opponent, the monster immersed in destruction, and felt his undisguised joy and pleasure.

Perhaps, this is what he really looks like...a monster immersed in death and destruction that cannot extricate itself!

"Ji Xianke, does your sword exist for such things!"

"if not?"

Ji Xianke sneered and asked back: "Is it for the more vain benevolence and morality? Hey, you don't really believe that, do you?

What sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, which part represents which noble character, what tenacity, determination, courage, ah...

- That's all, shit! "

boom!
The ground collapsed, and deep cracks were dug into the rock. Ji Xianke raised his head, his eyes seemed to be burning, lingering with beastly blood.

grinning.

"See? Li Bai, this is the most ridiculous thing about you!"

He said hoarsely: "The sword is just a weapon, it was born to be used to kill people! What chivalry, what virtue and evil, what nonsense, has never had anything to do with it!

Weapons can't determine their own whereabouts, and they have no interest in those.Since it is a sword, then kill it!It doesn't matter exactly what to kill, but what must be killed is the meaning of its existence! "

In this brief silence, Li Bai fell silent.

As if speechless.

It's just that the eyes have become pitiful and sad.

"People live in this world not to be a tool for something." Li Bai shook his head slowly, "but to be himself.

Be whoever you want to be! "

"Whether you are doing good or evil, you have to choose your own path, cut off all obstacles, and go to the end of the road. Even if it is death, it will not be a pity...

If you can't even face yourself, what you get in the end is nothing but nothingness. "

"Ji Xianke, the moment you choose to become a tool, you as a swordsman are already dead."

Li Bai shook his head pityingly: "Life like this is no different from a living corpse!"

"Then come on, Li Bai!"

Ji Xianke laughed mockingly, "Use the way of a swordsman, use your sword to prove your truth to me! No one will disturb you, and no third party will intervene. Just today, right here—"

He clenched his sword with anticipation:
"—Look, who will be defeated!"

At this moment, with the beating of the heart like thunder, hot blood surged from the interface between the mechanism and the flesh and blood, covering the steel in scarlet blood.

The blood was like wine, ignited by the scorching red steel, and turned into a real flame.

"Fei Guang Fei Guang, advise you to have a glass of wine."

From the raging fire, the evil ghost who had already been lost in the destruction murmured hoarsely: "I don't know the blue sky is high and the yellow earth is thick. I only see the moon is cold and the sun is warm, coming to fry people's life... Where is the god, where is the Taiyi?"

The darkness boils.

Dedicate this blood like wine to the passing time, and what you get in return is a dazzling flame, where the legend of the old bearded man reappears!
That is the speed above all things!
It's like going back in time...

Not hesitating to ignite himself in an instant, and after giving up everything, what he got in exchange for reaching the pinnacle!

The mighty azure swept across, and the sword of the great river ran wantonly.

Amidst the roaring sound, Li Bai stepped forward, as if holding the sky tightly, and the majestic sword energy was concentrated into a narrow gap, emitting a bright light.

The water of the Yellow River came to the sky and rushed to the sea to never return.

The great river passes away, and all things rotate, and the brilliance of the world is honed by this cruel time.The vicissitudes of the sea, the changing times and the changing situation, create a sword brewed in all kinds of poetry and wine.

cut!
In the dead silence, only the brilliance that burst out when Lei Guang and Tian Qing collided.

The two completely different sword blades separated the most straightforward results in the purest way at this moment.

The moment the fierce light dissipated, the two had already passed by.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of cracking sounded one after another.

The ground, the dome, and even the blade...

In the silence, Li Bai lowered his head, and saw the scar on the right hand holding the sword, the deep bone was visible, the blood surged out, followed the blade, and landed silently.

Behind him, Ji Xianke's body froze in place.

Lowering his head, looking down at the broken long sword in his hand and the crack running through his chest, he seemed to understand something and smiled tiredly.

Powerless, he fell to his knees.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks in the mechanical prosthesis spread, and the half body made of iron fell apart.

"I lost."

Ji Xianke coughed violently, with blood oozing from his nose and mouth, he struggled to prop up his body with his broken sword, and turned around, "How...how...how did you do it?"

The flying light sword was cut off.

Being surpassed by his own speed and strength, he was defeated in the field he is best at!

Either way, it's unbelievable.

"Just treat it as if I cheated."

Li Bai lowered his eyes, "Ji Xianke, you have used that kind of swordsmanship in front of me once—these days, in Dali Temple, I have been thinking about how to defeat you every day."

But no matter what, I couldn't think of such a way.

It can't match that kind of speed, and it can't compete with that kind of pure destruction.

It is indeed a skill that I can't match, the perfect combination of mechanism and human body - flesh and blood can't compare with steel, and can't bear such terrifying pressure.

No matter how fast the sword energy is, there is always a limit to whoever holds the sword.

"So, I was thinking, I might as well transform myself into sword energy." He replied calmly, "Only in this way can I defeat you."

Not just weapons, at that moment, Li Bai also integrated everything about himself into the mighty sword energy!
Completely, it became invisible!
Only in this way can he withstand the endless power of Qinglian sword energy, and thus surpass Feiguang.

The visible is mortal, but how can the invisible be destroyed?

"So... is that so?"

Ji Xianke was stunned for a long time before showing a relieved smile. He didn't know whether he was laughing at his own limit, or marveling at this terrifying talent.

In just seven days, it was able to grow to such an extent.

Even Fei Guang, who he honed all his life, has become the cornerstone for the other party to climb.

Such a hearty failure, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

A life-and-death showdown with the enemy without reservation, after betting everything, only for the final result.

The monster with the blade in hand, immersed in destruction and death, finally died by the sword.

"This is really...suitable for me...the result..."

He laughed at himself hoarsely, and let go of the broken blade in his hand.

Along with the flow of blood, the heat of life seemed to be gone along with it, and the consciousness gradually became trance. From the cold that gradually hit, it seemed to see the snowstorm blowing towards the face again.

The coldest and most desperate winter.

After losing his wife, his son, his family and his arm, he also lost his sword.

The dying swordsman fell into the snow in the wilderness, like a wild dog, but still crawling in pain, struggling in vain.

in tears.

Pleading for every phantom that appears in front of you.

"help me."

He stretched out his hand with difficulty, trying to touch the corner of the clothes: "Please, save me..."

"Okay."

After a long silence, the wandering mechanic bent down, took his palm in compassion, and clenched it tightly, "As a price, please follow me to hell."

From that day on, the swordsman known as Ji Xianke had died.

For revenge, for his wife's last wish, to pay for his own sins, or, for his last friend.

On the road of no return.

go to hell.

But when death came again and he finally came to the end of this road, he found that there was nothing but nothingness waiting for him.

In the darkness, he heard the screams and cries in the distance, and gradually came to a realization.

"Boss, we are already in hell..."

Regretfully, Ji Xianke closed his eyes.

Breathing cut off.
