I rely on myself

Chapter 63 Swordsmanship Contest

Although even Yihui could not see clearly such superb swordsmanship for a while, his own "mind's eye" and "complete mastery" were enough for Yihui to detect Lin Yuan's sword path in advance and respond accordingly.

'So let me start fighting back.'

Thinking of this, Ikki no longer hesitated, and suddenly exerted force with his lower body, using his waist as the axis. Although his body did not move too much, the originally suppressed sword blade burst out with powerful force again, deflecting Lin Yuan's two swords.

This is Ikki's "Second Secret Sword: Armor Break", which can only be used when being suppressed by the opponent. It transmits power from the lower body to the waist to make a zero-distance slash, which can be called the inch power released by the upper sword.

Faced with the huge power coming from the two swords, Lin Yuan was somewhat caught off guard. After all, Ikki's sword skill came suddenly without any warning.

Seeing that Lin Yuan's two swords were deflected by his own <Second Secret Sword: Rift Armor>, leaving the door wide open, Ikki certainly would not miss such a good opportunity, and immediately swung the sword towards Lin Yuan's chest to chase.

Facing Ikki's sword, Lin Yuan instantly exerted force on his feet and took off like a rocket, instantly increasing his speed from zero to one hundred, increasing the distance between himself and Ikki, thus avoiding Ikki's sword.

Seeing Lin Yuan once again distancing himself from him as if teleporting, Yihui had anticipated this. He retracted his sword that had been swung in vain, and without any pause, he took a step forward and charged towards Lin Yuan.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan started again the moment he stood still, and instantly increased his speed from zero to a maximum speed of 100. It was obviously Ikki who started first, but Lin Yuan was the first to rush in front of Ikki, and the sword in his hand drew a sharp arc.

Before Ikki could react, Lin Yuan rushed in front of him and his body was cut by his sword. However, Lin Yuan showed a solemn expression instead.

"An illusion? Then where is the real body?"

As Lin Yuan said this, Yihui's body, which was cut by the sword, twisted and spread like a mirage and finally turned into nothingness. This undoubtedly showed that this was an illusion, not Yihui's real body.

This is exactly Ikki's "Fourth Secret Sword: Mirage Wolf", which uses the rapid switching of the pace while running to create an afterimage in front of the body, causing the opponent to misunderstand the distance, and can also create illusions left and right, up and down.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was misled by Ikki's move, and Ikki's real body jumped into the sky and dived down, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and chopped down head-on.

Lin Yuan realized Ikki's plan belatedly, raised his head and looked at Ikki who was diving down from a high altitude, and realized that he had missed the opportunity to dodge, so he could only raise his swords and cross them in a defensive posture.

When Ikki saw this, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes. He poured all his strength into the blade, and with the addition of gravitational potential energy, he launched a powerful slash.

The moment the swords collided, the power within them was released, transforming into a loud sword sound in the air that resounded in all directions, and intense sparks continued to bloom from the point where the two people's spiritual outfits collided.

Just when Lin Yuan thought he had blocked the attack, he suddenly felt his hands holding the sword go numb and he almost lost consciousness. He could no longer exert force smoothly, causing the two swords that had been able to hold the fire to be unable to continue to block Yi Hui's sword and were bounced away.

Ikki had anticipated this and simply adjusted his posture slightly, continuing his downward chopping motion and attacking Lin Yuan.

At the critical moment, Lin Yuan immediately exerted force on his feet to step back, while moving his body backwards to increase the distance between himself and the sword.

In the end, they dodged the sword that could have decided the outcome, and the two sides distanced themselves and stood firm again.

Lin Yuan looked down at his clothes with a large cut on his chest. From the cut, a thin wound could be seen on his chest. "It seems that you still didn't dodge it completely. It's amazing, Yihui. Although I have known that you are good at some tricks, it is still difficult to guard against you in such a fierce battle."

This was Lin Yuan's sigh from the bottom of his heart. This was the first time for the two of them to fight with all their strength like now. The previous special training was to allow Ikki to learn the ability of "Mind's Eye" as quickly as possible, so Lin Yuan and Ikki did not use their full abilities and just fought in a specific way.

Now that there are no more restrictions, Ikki has demonstrated his skills and is able to hurt Lin Yuan even when Lin Yuan uses a sword technique that imitates "Bi Yi".

And Ikki was always amazed at Lin Yuan's swordsmanship. Although Ikki had already seen that Lin Yuan's current swordsmanship was just imitation, but even so, the rapid changes from zero to one hundred and then from one hundred to zero still made it impossible for Ikki to see Lin Yuan's sword blade clearly.

He could only guess Lin Yuan's next move through the two abilities of "Mind's Eye" and "Complete Mastery" so that he could block Lin Yuan's attack, and in order to break through Lin Yuan's defense, he also used the "Sixth Secret Sword: Poisonous Moth Blade".

That’s right, when Lin Yuan’s two swords blocked Ikki’s blade, they suddenly became paralyzed because of Ikki’s <Sixth Secret Sword: Poison Moth Blade>.

This is a sword technique that Ikki developed in order to deal with enemies with heavy armor protection. When engaging in close combat with the opponent, high-frequency vibrations are transmitted through the blade, allowing it to penetrate the armor and reach the human body, destroying the internal organs.

At that time, Ikki used this secret sword to transmit high-frequency vibrations through the blade to Lin Yuan's hands, paralyzing his hands and making it impossible for him to maintain a defensive posture, thus making Ikki's surprise attack successful.

After Lin Yuan felt his hands regain consciousness, he turned all his attention back to Yihui.

"It was so sudden. Ikki, did you swing your sword with the intention of killing me?"

Although he said these words, Lin Yuan looked very happy, as if the target of the sword just now was not himself.

Yihui smiled and replied: "That's because I believe that you, Lin Yuan, will never die under this level of sword."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan felt a little amused. Should he say that he was happy because Yihui believed in him so much? Or should he be angry that he used such a heavy hand for this reason?

"Thank you for trusting me so much!"

Lin Yuan said this unhappily, and Yihui's face suddenly turned serious.

"Lin Yuan! The swordsmanship you are performing now is not your own."

Although Ikki raised this doubt, he already had some guesses in his mind, so his tone was very certain.

After hearing this question, Lin Yuan also understood what Yihui meant. He had already expected that Yihui would be able to see that the current swordsmanship was not his. After all, as a friend, he knew it best.

Ikki's eyesight is like a magic mirror that can see through everything.
