Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 224 Blade Dissolution! Open!

"Okay..." Chen Qi hadn't expected that the Blade Witch in front of him would actually respond to his words directly.

"Breathing of the Blade..."

The Blade Witch hummed softly, her abdomen heaving, then spreading to her arms, face, and finally her entire body, before a faint red aura emanated from her.

A new move? Chen Qi was momentarily stunned.

This isn't right, is it? It seems like the Blade Witch has gotten stronger.

Was it because I angered her? Chen Qi didn't react for a moment.

Should I really not read in front of her?

The Blade Witch assumed a sword-drawing stance, her energy materializing and condensing into lightning.

Hound's pace, no, I have to take this hit... Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

The blade-breaking technique he had just mastered, 'Severing Your Tendons and Bones,' is a defensive counter-attack move that can only be unleashed in a head-on confrontation by sacrificing one's own physical strength.

It is divided into two stages.

The first stage: 'Sacrifice my flesh and blood'!
At this stage, the user needs to draw upon the power of their entire body, using the heart as the driving force, to unleash the spiritual energy of their entire body.

During this stage, one's own physical defense will also increase significantly.

Once used, it will cause great side effects to one's physical strength and spiritual energy.

After that, he couldn't even use his strength to defend himself, and his body might even be shattered by the aftershocks of the Blade Witch's attack.

At the same time, during this phase, all attacks received will become part of the blade's disintegration, enhancing the attacks in the second phase.

The second stage is to "break its tendons and bones".

This is the stage where you make your move.

At this stage, the body's spiritual power will erupt instantly. First, a short, spherical spiritual power field will be formed directly from the heart to intimidate and suppress the surroundings!

Ordinary soldiers would be instantly killed by this spiritual energy field.

This deterrent will also create a brief period of output time.

Immediately following, in the blink of an eye, he released his accumulated power, creating a one-second window for striking! A one-second window of absolute output!
In short, this is a defensive counter-attack technique using a blade-like technique.

At the second level of transcendence, one practices liberation, but it's a liberation that doesn't belong to one's own nature... Chen Qi tried to adjust his breathing.

Each liberation move must meet a considerable number of prerequisites.

The only condition for this move is that the most common conditions for blade dissection are an extremely strong fighting spirit and a certain amount of combat process!

During this process, accompanied by a strong fighting spirit and the exhilarating feeling brought by the battle itself, a very special red blade power will be born from the source of spiritual energy.

If one's own spiritual power and physical strength are the fuel, then the power of the blade is the oil and the flame.

However, since Chen Qi himself is not a Blade Aspect Transcendent and does not have Blade Aspect Comprehension, it is extremely difficult for him to create Blade Power during battle.

In other words, for a beginner like Chen Qi, practicing blade cutting is an extremely difficult thing.

Of course, this is on the premise that he is not in the Trial Grounds!

Amidst a hundred consecutive deaths! And on this battlefield radiating the power of blood-red blades, fulfilling the prerequisites for Blade Release is effortless!
The Blade Witch charged forward like lightning, unleashing a simple, unadorned downward slash!
There are no fancy techniques whatsoever! Just pure violence!
Chen Qi exhaled a faint breath of white air, then suddenly held his long sword horizontally between his eyes, using brute force to block the Blade Witch's slash.

clang!
The attacks from both sides resulted in a pure sword-fighting situation!
"Humph--"

The Blade Witch let out a faint laugh, then suddenly exerted force with both arms, pressing down hard. Crimson spiritual energy, like the breath of a red dragon, relentlessly pressed down.

"Sacrifice my flesh and blood..."

Chen Qi murmured softly, and without any hesitation, released all the power in his body!

Hands, thighs, shoulders and neck, lungs, heart!

All power, all breath! Unleash it all without reservation!
Almost instantly, every breath began to be accompanied by excruciating pain!
This move, which gathers all the strength and energy of the body, caused a wear and tear on the body that Chen Qi had never imagined.

"Break..."

Chen Qi chanted with all his might, trying to continue spreading the power!

However, soon, a feeling of weakness and lack of oxygen permeated his entire body, and his heart ruptured.

Pfft!

His body had exceeded its limits, and he let out a mournful cry as blood flowed from his eyes.

"The nonsense of second-tier scum, utterly pointless..."

"Blade Witch," she said softly, then mercilessly slashed downwards again!

clang------

Accompanied by the feeling of his muscles tearing, Chen Qi vomited blood—

boom!
With a single kick, the Blade Witch sent the corpse in front of her flying.

The blood mist spread again.

Your understanding of the Blade Dissection technique, "sacrificing one's own flesh and blood to sever the opponent's tendons and bones," has improved.

"As expected, it still doesn't work..."

Chen Qi returned to the starting point, reflecting on the feeling from just now.

He had used up all his spiritual power, but because he released it too hastily, he damaged his muscles, and his heart reached its limit in an instant.

Just now, rather than saying he was killed by the Blade Witch, it would be more accurate to say that his own weak body could not withstand the backlash from the attack!

Is it that difficult...? Chen Qi sighed inwardly.

In addition to the sublimation of spiritual power, third-tier transcendents will also experience a tremendous enhancement of their physical body.

However, as a second-tier transcendent being, he did not undergo this sublimation.

This means that he must do everything in his power and use techniques to shorten the side effects of the first stage in order to achieve liberation.

But is it really possible to do that in such a short time?

Chen Qi gripped the long sword again.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened again.

The blade pierced his chest again!

So fast!

"The 508th time, eight seconds—"

Chen Qi uttered a number that he himself could hardly believe.

Eight seconds is the fastest he can die right now!

He broke the record once again!

Impossible. The Blade Witch sat on the pile of corpses for at least five seconds, and even sitting down takes time.

Was I killed in ten seconds?

No, no… Chen Qi’s eyes darted around as he looked at the Blade Witch to his side.

The Blade Witch slightly raised her head, her crimson eyes filled with disdain, and said softly:

"True blade-breaking requires facing situations beyond imagination."

"Come on! Let me teach you!"

The Blade Witch coldly pulled the long sword from Chen Qi's chest.

boom--

Chen Qi collapsed to the ground once again, looking at the prompt in front of him.

You were like a stray dog ​​on the street, kicked to death by the Blade Witch.

[Inspiration assessment in progress—]

[You have successfully identified the 'Blade Witch's' characteristic—Memory.]

[The Blade Witch will develop special memories of the most memorable moments through her continuous trials!]

【Traveler from afar! You have successfully caught the attention of the Blade Witch!】

Can the BOSS remember my moves? Does it get stronger the more I fight it?

A look of disbelief flashed in Chen Qi's eyes as he returned to the starting point.

They once again assumed a defensive stance, drawing their swords in defense!
There was no chance to catch our breath! There was no chance to think!

With the howling wind, Chenqi's death progressed faster and faster.

He drew his sword to block! Then he was slashed! He let out a hoarse scream!
He drew his sword to block! Then he was slashed! He let out a hoarse scream!
The pain surged like a tidal wave, one wave after another, without any sign of abating.

Ten times, fifty times, one hundred times, three hundred times—

Of these three hundred attempts, only eleven times was Chen Qi able to force out the Blade Witch's berserk mode.

He only managed to make the Blade Witch swear once, but in the end, he was defeated because of the failure of his Blade Release.

Phew! Phew!
The number of deaths accumulates imperceptibly.

Five hundred times——

700 times —

Pfft!

Chen Qi's pupils contracted continuously, unable to describe the feeling at that moment.

"Wait, how many times is this?"

Chen Qi was unable to describe his feelings at that moment; a sense of powerlessness had permeated his entire body.

It was a very special feeling—

A feeling more terrifying than pain itself, a feeling of no longer being able to feel pain—

numbness.

Has my body begun to become numb to pain?

Even though I was being slashed by blades, tortured by the Blade Witch, and slaughtered like a common soldier, at this moment, my spirit actually endured the pain and became familiar with it—

"Am I having a mental breakdown?" Chen Qi realized that he seemed to have been subjected to the Blade Witch's attacks, attacks, more than a thousand times, perhaps even two thousand or three thousand times...

it hurts-

Fen —

For some reason, Fen's image suddenly flashed into Chen Qi's mind.

And what Fen said to him before she left.

"If you can't hold on, choose to give up thinking and wait for the cracks to close. I'll be here..."

Is this the trial of the Blade Witch? Is this what Finn meant by giving up thinking...? Chen Qi touched his forehead and finally understood what Finn meant.

Now, he has a plan: before the Blade Witch kills him, he will shoot himself in the head to reduce the pain.

Fen meant that if things really couldn't go on, then they should give up in this way!
Perhaps by using this mechanical method, we can reduce the frustration of repeatedly dying!
And when that time comes, Fen, who is outside, will comfort me, help me heal my emotional wounds, and comfort me properly...

clang!
Relying on instinct, Chen Qi drew his sword again, blocking the Blade Witch's attack.

I was really underestimated.

"Witch!"

"uh-huh?"

The Blade Witch smiled, seemingly caught off guard by the situation.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to continue reading?"

The Blade Witch let out a soft laugh.

"I'm well rested."

Chen Qi mentally estimated the time and concluded that it was about time to end this rift!
clang!
Your understanding of blade-breaking techniques has increased!

Your understanding of blade-breaking techniques has increased!

Your understanding of blade-breaking techniques has increased!

……

Ten times! One hundred times! One thousand times!

You're just one step away from mastering blade-cutting!

Chen Qi returned to the starting point, exhaled a breath of bright red blood, and then immediately looked at the Blade Witch on the pile of corpses.

Through a series of deaths, he has completed the formula for victory!

Moreover, his fighting spirit has reached its peak!

Chen Qi exhaled a breath of white air:
"Teacher Ren, are you ready to rest?"

Chen Qi glanced at the Blade Witch silently and said politely.

It has to be admitted that although the Blade Witch has killed him a thousand times, ever since he called her "Blade Teacher", her moves have become more and more fancy!

That's right! Kill him in all sorts of ways!
He did it all: uppercuts! Spinning strikes! Stabbing! Mid-air fruit slicing! Piercing techniques!
Occasionally, they will also change their breathing techniques and switch their movement skills!
Furthermore, whenever he uses his taunt skill, the Blade Witch will unlock kicking skills and ranged skills.

It can be said that Chen Qi's ability to persevere was largely due to the Blade Witch's flashy moves.

Even disregarding the rewards, the invaluable combat experience gained with the Blade Witch was enough to make Chen Qi feel excited—excited like never before—at the end of the rift.

but……

This is the last time I will be teaching.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, silently took out the medicine, and gulped it down.

You have taken a powerful healing potion.

[You have consumed the Bloodlust Potion, greatly increasing your strength and agility—]

[You have consumed the Spiritual Energy Source Potion, and your spiritual energy has been unleashed—]

……

"The last time..." Chen Qi thought to himself, feeling the surge of power coursing through his body.

Medicines are consumables, but they can provide considerable combat power.

However, he only had one bottle of the rarest Blood Frenzy Potion.

In other words, he only has one chance...

"rest?"

"Are you kidding me...?" A faint smile appeared on the Blade Witch's lips, and then, like a bolt of crimson lightning, she descended upon Chen Qi's side.

Red! Lightning strikes!

clang!clang!clang!
Hound Stride!! Embers Enveloping!! Blade of Fury!! Embers Bloom!! Activate!

Shunpo!

Chen Qi used three Instant Steps in succession, dodging the lightning slash while simultaneously slashing three bright red wounds from the Blade Witch's left, right, and back.

"Um?"

The Blade Witch uttered a question; in her memory, the person before her should have been someone who only knew how to mock.

She immediately turned around and unleashed a spinning attack!

clang!
Shadow Blade Slash, Great Whirlwind of Qi Blade!
Chen Qi crouched down and unleashed a spinning slash.

With the help of Master Ren, his Spirit Blade Great Spin and Shadow Blade Slash have both evolved!
Pfft!

Bright red blood splattered from the Blade Witch's chest!
"you……"

The Blade Witch raised her eyes, ignoring Chen Qi, and slammed her right leg down, assuming a hand-held sword stance.

[The Blade Witch has activated her Berserker mode, triggering her critical hit state!]

Strength! Converge!
The crimson spiritual energy of the blade spiraled like a sharp blade, gathering on the blade and transforming into a forty-meter-long blade of energy, which then carried a large amount of spiritual power!
Dust and gravel flew around them in the wind!

Shadow Armor!

Chen Qi immediately activated his armor and drank another cup of potent healing potion. Then, he held his sword horizontally in front of him.

"You've angered me..."

The Blade Witch moved like an unstoppable dragon, unleashing her blade.

"Frenzied Slash!"

With a furious roar from the Blade Witch, terrifying blade energy surged forth like a tidal wave!

"I would give up my own flesh and blood—"

Chen Qi held the long sword horizontally in front of him and poured out all his spiritual power.

Heart! Limbs! Consciousness! All become one!
boom!
Amidst a cloud of dust, Chen Qi's body was forced backward, his Shadow Armor shattering and spraying blood everywhere! An unprecedented pain spread throughout his body!

"call--"

The Blade Witch opened her mouth, panting heavily.

Is it over...?

That’s it!
I'm alive!

"My turn!"

A crimson glint flashed in Chen Qi's eyes as he struggled to maintain his stance, gripping his long sword tightly with both hands.

boom!
A massive spiritual energy field burst forth from the heart, emanating with overwhelming force!

The thunderous power even sent countless corpses flying into the air.

"Learned it?"

The Blade Witch blinked, her eyes filled with disbelief.

However, Chen Qi did not give it to him. With a loud shout, he slashed out with his long sword.

"Break its tendons and bones!!!"

All her spiritual power transformed into countless sharp, crimson blades, forming a terrifying, massive sword aura! Like a giant red wave on land, it slashed towards the Blade Witch!

boom!
"Reverse the blade! Sacrifice blood!"

"Impossible! You can't possibly kill me! Come on! Cut me off!"

Finally, the Blade Witch adopted a defensive counter-attack stance!
She had to take the hit head-on!
Since Chen Qi withstood her attack, as the BOSS, she had no reason to dodge!
Accompanied by a roaring sound!

The giant wave crashed over her, tearing at her blade, ripping through her light armor, and ripping through her bright red skin! It tore through the tough bone beneath her skin!!
woohoo-

The wind whipped up countless clouds of dust, and the only sound on the entire battlefield was the howling of the wind.

call--

Chen Qi looked at the huge cloud of dust in the distance, then collapsed with a thud.

He was finished; all his strength was exhausted, and his spiritual energy was completely depleted.

With the healing potion, I can only hold on for another thirty seconds at most.

The sound of the wind grew fainter and fainter.

A gentle breeze rustled through my hair.

Chen Qi was bleeding profusely from his body.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Blade Witch fall, lying in the dust like a small fry.

Will she be able to stand up again?
At this moment, amidst a question, the hint of victory finally appeared.

"finally……"

"Won."

Chen Qi let out a long breath and silently closed his eyes.

[You have perfectly mastered the Blade Dissection technique—'Sacrificing my own flesh and blood to sever their sinews and bones.']

[You have defeated the Blade Witch; the rift is in progress...]
