I Practiced Earnestly

The four Li Chang Zais all around him portrayed the same stance, aiming their swords straight at Su Yun.

The Spirit Qi that was swelling all over his body like a balloon suddenly broke, fervently surging out Swift Wind Spirit Qi, while the four Li Chang Zais brandished their swords at extreme speeds, like four electric fans rushing towards Su Yun with breathtaking speeds.

Facing the four pronged attack, Su Yun could simply rely on his Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment, but at the moment, he was also looking forward to defending against Li Chang Zai’s Swift Sword.

“If I were to use the Imperial Equipment, wouldn’t it be too boring?”

Su Yun thought.

In one hand, he held the Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword while holding the Desolator in the other. Shifting his center of gravity to his hind leg, he turned his body while continuously dancing with both swords, blocking the incoming attacks.

The scene caused all of the spectators to be dazzled and could only see a flurry of sword images clashing, with countless of sparks and Spirit Qi blossoming out.

No one could see Su Yun’s hands any longer, while Li Chang Zai’s hand was a slight blur, but it was almost close to invisible as well! The speed that the two had reached had already exceeded what ordinary people could see!

Seeing Su Yun’s relaxed state and his stable Profound Spirit Qi, Li Chang Zai knew that his four pronged attack was useless. With a swerve, he retracted his sword and retreated, he converged the Profound Spirit Qi in his body and unleashed another technique.

“Tornado Rain Strike!”

With a roar, the three clones transformed into arrows and shot back towards Li Chang Zai’s main body, while Li Chang Zai suddenly jumped up and spun his body with a quick speed. When the three clones reached near his main body, he started swinging the sword in hand, causing rows after rows of sword images to envelop him.

Whoosh whoosh

Strong gales were formed all around him, the wind was as cold and sharp like swords, they cut towards Su Yun.

This technique was similar to Divine Wind Sword Technique’s last move, Single Sword Rising Wind, however, its might was many times weaker than Single Sword Rising Wind.

The power that Li Chang Zai unleashed made Su Yun unafraid, and he could simply break it off.

Following that, Li Chang Zai’s spins became faster and faster, the speed started to gather around him and very quickly, a furious tornado formed which spun extremely quickly at Su Yun.

The tornado’s head was connected to the sky, revealing its height and imposing power that shook the spectators.

Seeing that, Su Yun slightly frowned. He took one step back with his left leg and used both swords to welcome the incoming tornado!

Upon seeing that, the workers around immediately distanced themselves from the stage, even the four evaluators did not hesitate to do so for their own protection! Zhang Guo Hao had unleashed his treasure, activating a defensive Imperial Equipment and protecting the evaluators, they did not want to be affected by the tornado.

Only Zhu Wen was unfortunate, he was directly struck by the wind and struck the side of the competition grounds, almost fainting from it.

Everything around the stage was blown away, causing the place to become messy.

The spectators held their breath, they stared at the stage thinking: ~Could Su Yun survive that terrifying attack?~

Just then.

Su Yun who had been standing still suddenly opened his eyes that revealed black smoke, following that, the blood red Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword and the invisible Desolator leaked out a large amount of Evil Spirit Qi, which caused both sword tips to vibrate at a very fast frequency.

“Evil Spirit Qi?”

Xiao Zi Ru was startled.

Chi!

Howls came out from both swords! Following that, two large Evil Spirits sprung out from the sword blades and stared fiercely at the tornado.

Su Yun closed his eyes once again, and entered into a state of emptiness!

Wind!

Powerful wind!

Indestructible and powerful wind!

He could clearly feel everything!

Su Yun calmed his heart down and relaxed his state of mind to its maximum, then slowly opened his eyes.

Although it was only a second, but to him, it felt like a long time had passed.

Li Chang Zai’s Tornado Rain Strike had arrived.

He raised both swords once more, and like the previous battle with the Blade Sword Saint of War: Shen Wu Ya, he started to portray a stance of clumsiness, his right hand would slash down occasionally or sweep horizontally, while his left hand would thrust forward slash in a slanted motion, his steps became wide, occasionally he would leap to the left or slide to the right

His exaggerated movements made everyone watching became tense

But, it was all an illusion.

In reality, Su Yun had long started his fervent attacks of sword, both of his hands were like robots, fully unleashing slashes after slashes, his movements overlapping each other, that was why it produced the illusion.

As for the two Evil Spirits, they both formed a gigantic pitch black wall of Evil Swords and when the tornado struck the wall, it was unable to inch forward, it simply clashed with the wall, forming sounds of clashing metal that transformed into ear piercing ‘chi’ sounds, like ferocious beasts roaring and fighting.

Countless of spectators had to cover their ears as the sound was too annoying.

But majority of the spectators were too immersed in the battle that they had ignored everything else.

Suddenly…

Clang!

Li Chang Zai who was spinning suddenly stopped, he leapt backwards and distanced himself at about 10m away from Su Yun, and stood there.

Seeing that, Su Yun immediately stopped his movements.

However, he did not look at Li Chang Zai, but instead, looked above him.

The Li Chang Zai that had leapt backwards was an illusion, the real Li Chang Zai was already in the air and was about to attack!

“I never thought that my Tornado Rain Strike would be useless against you! Su Yun, you are truly powerful, take this strike of mine! Swift Dragon Devouring The World!”

Li Chang Zai bellowed, both of his hands had held on the sword hilt, spinning while aiming straight at Su Yun, the sword tip unleashed a large tornado that flew at Su Yun.

But Su Yun was no longer willing to defend, he stared at Li Chang Zai and tightened his grip on both swords, like he was learning from Li Chang Zai, both of his feet suddenly spun, causing his entire body to spin.

Whoosh.

Evil Spirit Qi surged out from his body and covered his entire body, transforming into a gigantic Evil Spirit, he collided into Li Chang Zai.

Roar!!!

The Evil Spirit shrieked.

Evil Sword Technique!

Suppressive Evil Shadow Slash!

Li Chang Zai’s eyes widened as he stared at the Evil Spirit’s mouth that suddenly released many swords that were spinning at quick speeds and devoured all of his sword attacks.

Chi chi chi chi

Three high speed rotating swords spun so fervently that sparks were produced, resonating with Spirit Qi, it produced explosions in mid air.

Li Chang Zai held onto his sword tightly. With all of his strength, he tried to stabilise himself, but right at that moment, he felt as if his hands were trembling and as time dragged on, the trembling became even faster.

“Damn it! Su Yun’s speed is actually so fast!” Li Chang Zai’s eyes gleamed as he stared at the sword images spewing out from the Spirit Demon’s mouth, his heart beating hard.

~My limit is close to 700 swords per second, but he is actually reaching close to a thousand! He is overwhelming me with exactly 300 swords!!!~

One cannot look down on 300 swords! Li Chang Zai was a man who trained in extremely fast sword strikes, he understood that the difference and disparity between 700 and a thousand was not just 300, as when a person’s ability reaches a certain level, no matter how one tried, it would be extremely difficult to improve even just a step!

That was the case for Li Chang Zai, he had trained and honed his sword daily without caring about fatigue and now, it was extremely difficult for his swift sword to improve by a margin. Even increasing by one sword attack would require him to spend a lot of time!

Then.

Crack crack crack crack

An extremely soft yet impactful sound came out.

As though Li Chang Zai suffered from a soul attack, his focus suddenly wavered, he immediately turned to look at the direction of the sound, only to realize that it came from his sword!

He then saw Evil Spirit Qi dancing on his sword body, as it danced more and more, spiderweb cracks started to appear on the sword and in the next second…

Clang!

The sword broke!

Li Chang Zai was shocked, he immediately took out a defensive treasure intending to protect himself, but he was too late, as a large amount of swords imbued with Evil Spirit Qi struck over, instantly attacking Li Chang Zai’s body more than a hundred times!

“Ahhhh!!!”

He immediately roared out, the Profound Spirit Qi from inside his body leaked out, followed by an intense explosions.

Profound Spirit Qi Detonation!

It was not considered a technique, but more of a self suicide method! Since all of the Profound Spirit Qi that left the body could not be retained for long and would cause explosions that naturally hurt the body… But Li Chang Zai had no other choice! Otherwise, he would not be able to separate himself from Su Yun and would be sliced up by Su Yun’s swords!

Li Chang Zai immediately dropped from the sky, while Su Yun was also forced apart from Li Chang Zai’s desperate move, stopping his onslaught of attacks.

Booom!!!

Li Chang Zai smashed onto the ground heavily, and formed a large hole in the ground.

He coughed twice, and crawled back up with much difficulty, his entire body laced with many sword scars, blood flowing out from them. His clothes were dyed red and looked to be in an extremely sad situation, blood drooled out from the corner of his mouth and his face was extremely pale while he still held on to his broken sword.

Sou sou

Evil Spirit Qi scattered in the air.

In black, Su Yun gently landed on the ground, hands still wielding the swords that were draped in Evil Spirit Qi as he quietly looked at Li Chang Zai.

“I never thought that you could imbue your swords with Profound Spirit Qi! Inconceivable, truly inconceivable! *Cough cough*”

Li Chang Zai’s left hand held onto his chest as he said weakly.

“Imbuing the sword with Profound Spirit Qi is simple to any ordinary Spirit Cultivator, but for a swordsman who trains in the swift sword, it is not easy at all. To unleash a few hundred sword attacks in a second, all the Spirit Essences and Qi channels in the body are incapable of following the frequency of the sword, thus the swordsman is unable to imbue every sword attack with Spirit Qi. Furthermore, if the frequency of the sword attack is too fast, the Qi channels would be overused and the Profound Spirit Qi released by the Spirit Essences could easy go chaotic, thus causing the Spirit Qi in the body to become chaotic and would hurt the Qi channels as a result. Thus, a swordsman who trains in the swift sword does not use Spirit Qi, but purely relies on the sharp sword and the strength bestowed by the Spirit Qi in the body to increase the attack.” Su Yun said indifferently.

“That’s right.” Li Chang Zai agreed and nodded his head, but his eyes showed tension: “Then why are you able to unleash Spirit Qi with your swift sword? Are you not afraid of the chaos in your body, ultimately leading to self implosion?”

“I’m not afraid.”

“Why?”

“Because I practiced it earnestly.” Su Yun said.

“Practiced?” Li Chang Zai was startled.

“That’s right, practice!” Su Yun nodded his head earnestly: “No technique can be learnt in a day, it’s the same for the swift sword! How many spirit cultivators thought that it would be possible to unleash a thousand swords in a second? Even if he did, can he do it? No! Thus, there is a need to cultivate and train arduously for months and years! It’s the same with imbuing the sword with Spirit Qi.I am unable to imbue every single sword attack of my thousand attacks with Spirit Qi, thus I would imbued one sword first, and when I’m used to it, then I will imbue two swords. When I am used to that, then three swords, the cycle repeats, until I can perfectly imbue all thousand swords!”

Su Yun continued: “This training is not about the speed of unleashing your attacks, or your reaction time in training, it trains your Spirit Essences and Qi Channels! In truth, it is the same as how we train the link between our mind and hands! Your hands must be fast! Your mind must be fast, your sword equally fast! Only when your Spirit Essences and Qi Channels are fast are you able to produce such an effect, thus, to reach this stage, what you need to do is train! To keep on training!”

Hearing that, Li Chang Zai stared at Su Yun, as had heard of similar words before.
