Chapter 169 Across 8 directions!
"Idiot, can you hear me?"
When Xian'er's cool voice rang in Li Jie's mind.
He calmed his mind as if he had taken a calming medicine, and even his cloudy eyes gradually cleared.
"You don't need to respond, just listen to me..."
Do you still remember the vow we made?
"With my burning passion, I will protect the sword's edge..."
Where has your passion gone?
Hearing this, Li Jie couldn't help but sigh softly...
Yes... Although he has been making progress during this time, the power of the Legend of Sword and Fairy has been influencing him. It seems that as long as he has the Zhuxian and Juexian swords in his hands, there is no enemy he cannot deal with.
The Celestial Venerable had also reminded himself that relying too much on the power of the Immortal Sword was not a good thing...
And here comes the retribution, doesn't it?
He couldn't possibly let Xian'er and Xiao Jue kill Sword Saint Zhou Ping, could he...?
"Whether you can break free from these shackles depends on this one thought... Li Jie... recall your youthful ambition and high spirits..."
After saying this, Xian'er withdrew and flew back into her Qi Sea.
Xiao Jue hesitated for a moment, then asked softly.
"Sister, is this really okay?...?"
Upon hearing this, Xian'er nodded firmly.
"He can do it, I believe in him!"
Do you recall the spirited ambition of your youth...?
With this thought in mind, Li Jie smiled slightly, as if... he had worried them...
He looked at the Sword Saint Zhou Ping, who stood proudly in the sky like an immortal, and his eyes revealed a resolute expression.
I am scared, that's true... but I didn't say I was going to give up!
Li Jie took a deep breath, clearing his mind of all distractions. He flicked his right hand, creating a sword flourish, and then held the ice-blue longsword upright in front of his chest. The profound sword intent once again flowed around him.
I was just catching my breath...
Sword Saint Senior... We've come again!
Zheng! !
A resounding sword cry echoed through the heavens and earth, and Zhou Ping, standing proudly with his sword in hand, felt a surge of fighting spirit in his eyes.
it is good! !
That's the spirit!
"Take this!!" he shouted, charging straight toward where Li Jie was floating.
The latter's gaze was like a sword, fixed on the black-clad swordsman who arrived in an instant, and he blocked with his long sword!
Ding! !
A crisp metallic clang rang out, and terrifying waves of sword intent swept across the land like ocean waves.
Gradually, a faint Daoist aura seemed to flow in Li Jie's eyes.
Before long, a deep Taoist voice appeared in his ears.
As you observe Zhou Ping's mastery of the Dugu Nine Swords, you notice the smooth transitions between his sword moves and the continuous flow of sword intent, and you enter a state of sudden enlightenment...
After the epiphany, you deduced the ultimate sword technique: Sweeping Across All Directions!
As the sound slowly faded away, the Daoist aura in Li Jie's eyes also gradually dissipated.
Then, to Zhou Ping's astonishment, the white-haired youth changed from wielding the sword with one arm to holding it with both hands, and gradually, a deep black light appeared before their eyes.
"drink!!"
With a sudden burst of strength, Li Jie swung the Immortal-Slaying Sword horizontally, unleashing a violent sword aura from his body.
Seeing this, Zhou Pingyuan wanted to back away, but he suddenly felt that the ice-blue ancient longsword in Li Jie's hand suddenly burst out with a strong suction force, which surprised him.
Immediately afterwards, a violent and fierce aura emanated from the Immortal-Slaying Sword in Li Jie's hand.
His gaze was firm, his lips parted slightly, and he spoke in a clear voice.
"Across all directions!"
In an instant, a ring-shaped jet-black sword aura radiated outwards from Li Jie as the center point.
This sword energy was incredibly fierce and domineering, sending Zhou Ping flying with overwhelming force!
They've repelled them!
Seeing this, Li Jie's face lit up with joy. Instead of retreating, he advanced and subconsciously threw the Immortal-Slaying Sword away, then unleashed the second move of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword technique, ending it all in one fell swoop!
Zhou Ping, who had been knocked away, was savoring the dark sword light he had just witnessed.
So handsome!
I want to learn this trick too!
And so, Zhou Ping's heart, which had been radiating brilliant light, began to beat regularly again. A moment later, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face...
So that's how it is...
And so, to Li Jie's astonishment...
A jet-black, crescent-shaped sword aura appeared before him.
The power it carried was exactly the same as the [Sweeping Across All Directions] strike that Li Jie had unleashed earlier!
Ding! !
The two swords clashed in mid-air, and the violent sword energy swept out, causing cracks to appear in the surrounding mountains!
The two retreated immediately after their attack. Li Jie reached out and hooked the Immortal-Slaying Sword, which arrived promptly and caught his flying figure.
Sword Saint Zhou Ping stood rooted to the spot, his gaze burning with fervor as he looked at the white-haired youth suspended in mid-air not far away.
He then carried the Dragon Elephant on his back, extended his left hand to make a sword finger gesture, and bowed slightly to Li Jie.
Before Li Jie could ask, Zhou Ping spoke first.
"That sword strike... was very powerful!"
"Zhou Ping, I've learned a lot!"
Hey?
no........
So does that mean... I've indirectly become the Sword Saint's teacher?
Will it shorten my lifespan...?
Just as he was about to retort, Zhou Ping flicked his longsword, stood at an angle to his side, and looked at the young man who was flying through the air on his sword, and said loudly.
"I have a sword; please, Brother Li, test it!"
"Senior, please stop calling me 'brother'! It'll shorten your lifespan!"
Hearing the Sword Saint still call him Brother Li, Li Jie almost cried.
What kind of thing did Lin Qiye do?!
He has now basically figured it out.
Why was Ye Fan suddenly calling me to Huaihai City...?
Why did Sword Saint Zhou Ping immediately challenge me to a sword duel the moment we arrived at this place...?
It turns out that all of this was the work of those few bastards!
After a day of interaction, the astute Lin Qiye also learned that the Sword Saint was a socially awkward person.
In order to keep him here, Lin Qiye, along with An Qingyu and the other five kids, revealed that he also used a sword.
They used this as leverage to make a 'deal' with Zhou Ping!
Although there might be other things involved, Li Jie had guessed about Lin Qiye and his group's actions with pretty much the truth.
but.......
Now is not the time to settle scores with them...
Because the Sword Saint's ultimate sword strike... has arrived!
"Dugu Nine Swords...Sword Breaking Style!!"
Zhou Ping is very happy now. Because of his social anxiety, he has very few friends. Apart from a few people who are at the top of their class, he only interacts with strangers when he is working.
However, when he saw Li Jie, it was as if he had met the kindred spirit he had been searching for all along!
At this moment, he unleashed the full power of humanity's ceiling, and there were faint signs that he was about to break through the ceiling that had plagued humanity for a century!
Looking at Zhou Ping, who exuded an awe-inspiring aura, Li Jie took a deep breath and slowly picked up the gourd tied to his waist.
