Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 331 Shrinking the Long into the Short, the Tangible and the Intangible in One Hand

The wolf-headed swordsman suddenly slammed his body backward.

His right scapula slammed against a layer of air, making it appear like a thin, liquid film.

Although it was just a fleeting scene, the next moment, the membrane shattered into a ring of mist, and the figure escaped from within.

But the fact that he could have such a scene shows that he is not only fast, but also has a kind of effortless skill, turning air into water, and the mystery of the transformation of power from tangible to intangible.

This retreat led them to the river.

The river water was affected by the drastic changes in airflow and was about to surge upwards.

The swordsman stomped his right foot, causing the surging river water to instantly transform into curtains of water that rose rapidly.

It was as if seven walls of water had appeared between the shore and the swordsman.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Thousands upon thousands of leaves fell upon these walls of water, breaking through six layers in succession.

The last layer is the most solid.

Even after hundreds of leaves were embedded inside the water curtain, it remained intact.

Some leaves cut in with their tips, while others are embedded horizontally.

Some leaves spun and cut into the water wall, and although their speed decreased sharply after entering, they continued to spin.

There were also a dozen or so leaves, whose leaf tissue was completely shattered the moment they hit the wall of water.

Only the middle leaf stalk remained, like a sharp needle, stuck inside the water wall.

With just one glance, the wolf-headed swordsman took in the power exertion method of these hundreds of leaves and gave a slight praise.

"What unpredictable and ever-changing swordsmanship!"

In the environment of Jinling No. 7, the effects of gravity changes have always existed.

The attacker was able to use the intent of a sword to make so many leaves fly at the target at the same time, and their trajectories were not scattered.

It already reveals an exceptionally ingenious and complex set of principles.

The wolf-headed swordsman used a water wall to deal with these leaves so that he could take one more look.

His gaze pierced through the foliage, looking into the jungle, where he could see the figures standing under the trees.

"It is you?"

Wolf Head was a little surprised. "Last time I thought you were the kind of person who used your power to intimidate others and was good at teaming up with others to attack."

"So you were someone who relied on skill too, and you... you've broken through?"

Chu Tianshu rested his left hand on his sword and laughed, "Last time you didn't even look at me properly, but this time you finally treated me with respect, which fulfills one of my wishes."

Did you even give me a second glance last time?

The wolf-headed swordsman laughed and said, "Everyone is just focused on their own goal."

"Last time our goals weren't actually conflicting, so why are you trying to make things difficult for me this time?"

Wolf Head reached out with his left hand and flicked his fingertips.

The wall of water collapsed with a crash, carrying all the leaves into the river.

Both of them can see each other more clearly.

"With your keen observation skills, you should be able to tell that I am no longer a pioneer."

Wolf Head smiled broadly, his two pointed ears twitching, making him appear even more energetic, and pointed in Zhang Tao's direction with his left hand.

"Heh, if you've come here to deal with the ghost spirits, then you don't need to attack me. Let's part ways amicably, shall we?"

Although Chu Tianshu didn't turn his head to look in that direction, he knew in his heart that the Shadow Assassin had already started fighting with Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao was radiating bright white lightning, and he was standing on two wheels of light formed from lightning essence.

The sunlight was not as bright as his own body, so there was no shadow of him on the ground.

but.

The Shadow Assassin charged forward without hesitation, slashing at the brighter area on the ground.

A sudden sense of alarm arose in Zhang Tao's heart, and he swung his whip to block the attack.

With a soft thud, the large iron whip suddenly shifted to its position at the waist, and sure enough, it thudded again.

A halo of light rolled beneath Zhang Tao's feet as he dodged to the side, his gaze lowered, fixed on the humanoid shadows chasing him on the ground.

This shadow not only has significantly increased attack power, but its swordsmanship skills have also improved considerably.

The two attacks that occurred in that split second.

The speed of the change was almost as amazing as the speed at which Zhang Tao wielded his whip.

The shadow that existed back then had a significant advantage in speed because it was weightless, but in terms of the finesse of its swordsmanship, it couldn't even come close to the superficial level of what it has now.

This was certainly not an improvement in swordsmanship achieved through normal means.

Instead, they rely on obtaining the status of a pioneer and make the best use of the advantages that come with that status.

Both Chu Tianshu and Zhang Tao can confirm it.

The Shadow Assassin has indeed become a new pioneer!
Once Zhang Tao made up his mind, he suddenly suppressed the electric light emanating from his entire body.

His shadow appeared on the ground, but this clearly defined black figure moved with incredible speed, leaping away and disappearing into the jungle.

The shadow assassin was in hot pursuit.

The wolf-headed swordsman's ears twitched, and his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

There were many dark shadows in the jungle.

In such a complex environment, the Shadow Assassin can overlap with various shadows at any time, making his moves more varied and unpredictable.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Tao rushed in, the Shadow Assassin couldn't wait to chase after him.

However, Zhang Tao's strength lies in his solid foundation. Every move he makes is a normal attack, yet every move can also be made with full force.

No matter how many variables arise on the enemy's side, Zhang Tao's response will definitely remain at the same level.

On the contrary, the Shadow Assassin himself, whose swordsmanship is not yet proficient, is more likely to expose his own weaknesses if he tries to rely on the terrain to increase the variables.

"That shadow, though immature, has really become much stronger."

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "You don't seem particularly obsessed with devouring humans, yet you've trained a ruthless killer who would definitely seek revenge on Jinling to be so strong."

"The straw hat you casually tossed to my apprentice that day was also full of murderous intent."

"Letting a monster like you roam around outside is far more dangerous than those greedy spirit creatures."

"So, do you think it's possible for us to part ways amicably?"

As he spoke, he placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife, stared at the wolf ears, and grinned.

"Besides, your ears have been twitching the whole time. You actually really, really, really want to tear me apart in a sword fight, don't you?!"

Chu Tianshu tilted his head slightly, revealing the left side of his neck better, and spoke with a smile.

"come!"

This wolf doesn't like to fight with Zhang Tao.

But when faced with Chu Tianshu's display of swordsmanship, he never considered leaving without a fight.

The wolf's ears jerked violently, instantly standing even straighter than usual.

His smile seemed to emanate not from his face, but from his ears.

indistinct!!

The black broadsword flashed suddenly, almost as if in a daze.

The curve of that knife wasn't originally very obvious.

But when the wolf-headed wolf swung its blade, it seemed to be so fast and so fierce that the arc of the blade's shadow was extremely pronounced.

Several enormous, bow-shaped black shadows swept across the water's surface.

The water surface didn't even have time to ripple.

It seems like the scene suddenly changed while the photo was being taken.

The difference between the water surface a moment before and a moment after is that three leaves are missing.

The three leaves had already shot through the air and were hurtling towards Chu Tianshu.

It wasn't shooting, it was booming!
The three fragile leaves, instead of being destroyed by the fierce blade force, became an excellent vessel.

Concentrate immense power onto the leaf.

As the three leaves flew by, the air cracked open with eerie, thick white streaks.

The leaves are only about two fingers wide and as thick as paper.

But the three white streaks that ripped through the air were as wide as a person's thigh.

Chu Tianshu's sword flowed from its sheath like a ray of silver moonlight.

The speed of moonlight, no matter how soft and silky it may appear, is never slow.

He made six cuts on three leaves.

Each leaf is divided into four pieces, one horizontal and one vertical.

All twelve fragments deviated from their original trajectories and flew away from Chu Tianshu. The huge explosion caused Chu Tianshu's hair to fly backward.

Those twelve fragments, when they reached the area behind him, blasted at least twenty or thirty large trees in half.

Dust and debris, like earthen dragons, accompanied the fallen tree canopy as they drifted deeper into the jungle.

At that moment, Chu Tianshu's blade silently swung in a huge arc and slashed forward.

There was neither the sound of wind nor the glint of a sword.

The wolf-headed swordsman standing on the water suddenly dodged to the side.

Click! !

Behind him, a straight knife mark, twenty meters long, had appeared on the cliff face.

Below the knife mark, it was just at the water's surface.

The water surface rippled slightly, and when it hit the end of the knife mark, it hissed as if it had been struck by a branding iron, and some of the river water vaporized instantly.

This knife mark is inconspicuous and doesn't attract much attention.

This astonishingly high temperature will remain for at least half an hour.

"Sorrow makes one feel as if their insides are burning?!"

The wolf-headed swordsman understood the intent of the strike, and with a swift motion, his black blade swept through the water and soared into the air.

"Behold my ecstatic joy, a wondrous peak rises from the flat ground!"

The water flowed like wolf fangs, booming and rising one after another.

Each of the river fangs is at least as tall as a person, and after it rises, it continues to move rapidly forward.

More wolf fangs rose up from behind, standing upright as they charged forward, cutting through everything in their path.

After Chu Tianshu unleashed that slash, he was about to rush straight away when he saw so many wolf fangs breaking through the water and surging towards him.

He laughed loudly, took a step into the air, and stepped directly onto the tip of the wolf's fang.

Wolf Fang moved in the opposite direction to him, and at a much faster speed.

But Chu Tianshu, even after charging forward three times on the sharp tips of the wolf's teeth, still managed to exude a sense of unbridled freedom.

While the world flows with the tide, I go against it; it is a kind of sorrow, but also a kind of heroic spirit.

The long, silver-white sword dragged in the wind, suddenly accelerating.

Chu Tianshu slightly shifted his body, about to pass the wolf-headed swordsman, and slashed horizontally at the wolf's waist with his long sword.

Wolf Head suddenly moved half a step to the right, maintaining a face-to-face position with Chu Tianshu, and thrust his sword straight at him.

Chu Tianshu suddenly turned around, not rushing forward, not trying to pass by.

The blade flashed like the ribs of a folding fan, spreading out around his body and spinning once.

The wolf-headed blade thrust straight at them was deflected by the fan-shaped, silvery-white light.

"what!!"

Wolf Head smiled and casually released the hilt of his knife.

The black blade spun in mid-air, and even after leaving his hand, it continued to accelerate, turning into a black disc.

The wolf pointed its head in the air and the disc moved suddenly.

The speed was so fast that it almost turned a perfect circle into an ellipse.

How could Chu Tianshu's spinning body possibly outpace the speed of the black blade's rotation?

But his body suddenly stopped, and the momentum on his body seemed to flow entirely into his right arm.

His entire right arm twitched like a spiral, and the force was then transmitted to the blade.

The three-seven shape resembles both a knife and a sword, and when it is shaken, it forms a sword flower.

All the force of the body's rotation was concentrated in this sword flower, which was only an inch in size.

The oval blade wheel collided with the silver-white sword flower, unleashing a terrifying dark red glow.

Boom!

That wasn't just because of the red light produced by the intense friction between the two metals.

Furthermore, it was because of the awe-inspiring sword intent of the Calamity Ashes that Chu Tianshu unleashed.

The elliptical blade wheel seemed to have collided with an insurmountable chasm, refracting outwards.

Chu Tianshu instantly transformed his sword into a dagger and slashed across the wolf's neck.

The wolf head dodged backward, grabbing with one hand, and the water vapor turned into a blade.

The sword that splits the white mist in three or seven strokes.

The wolf's head retreated again, its claws flashing like knives.

The flowing wind formed a knife shape, resembling a colorless crystal.

But when Sanqi clashed with Fengdao, Fengdao immediately shattered.

Chu Tianshu stepped onto the water and sprinted at full speed.

The three-seven strikes were like lightning, silvery flashes, crisscrossing and wildly slashing in his hands, relentlessly advancing and pursuing the enemy.

The wolf head retreated rapidly, its hands slashing and clawing in rapid succession.

Each time it catches something, it creates wind blades, water blades, wolf fur blades, stone chips blades, and water plants blades.

All the knives were destroyed by Chu Tianshu.

The original material of Sanqi was merely a ritual implement made from the essence of plants and trees.

But having accompanied Chu Tianshu to this day, this divine weapon has grown almost alongside him, undergoing the tempering of his spirit and energy.

At this moment, as the sword was wielded to its extreme, the silvery-white blade light gradually turned dark red and then blood red.

That was a piece of Chu Tianshu's hard work, which he held in his own hands.

With heart, soul, and spirit, they are invincible.

"Alright, you can be considered a Overlord Blade now!"

In the midst of the fierce duel, the wolf-headed swordsman kept moving, squeezing out these words one by one.

Each word is used to replace a roar, connecting them to form this sentence.

He had retreated to the point where his back was against the cliff.

"Look at my knife again!"

As another knife in his left hand was cleaved in two, his right hand swiftly pressed down and grabbed the cliff face.

Behind the cliff are towering mountains, heavy and boundless.

His grasp seemed to pull out the shadow of the mountain and grasp a bit of its weight.

Wolf-Headed Swordsman has read many stories created by humans.

In those stories, those who claim to be wielding the Overlord Blade always bring up the topic of love and indifference at the drop of a hat.

They seem to always be pursuing a way of killing without warning, without any worries, and without hesitation no matter what changes occur along the way.

But in the eyes of the Wolf-Headed Swordsman, simply pursuing that kind of strong and resolute will does not count as sword practice at all.

It's more accurate to say that they are cultivating a kind of ruthless and heartless spiritual skill.

Moreover, those who pursue the path of ruthlessness can never be called overlords.

A true hegemon must possess even more intense and passionate emotions.

Its nature is like fire, its desires like the sea, its thoughts are complex and numerous, it desires to seize what it sees, it has a wide range of interests, yet it can try to implement them all—this is the true ruler.

A person with a singular interest and a straight path is called a fool or a idiot.

If there were a fool like Yu Gong, he might be respectable, but he would certainly not possess the style of a tyrant.

The Wolf-Headed Swordsman's domineering sword technique stems from his interest in most things in his environment.

Regardless of whether those things are hard or soft, whether they gather or disperse, master them, cultivate smoothness, and hone your sharpness.

The smooth and blunt side always faces oneself, while the sharp and fierce side always faces the enemy.

This is a real knife.

Along the way, he grabbed at the wind, the water, and the debris, all in order to grasp the trend of gravity anomalies in the next instant.

This is the pinnacle of swordsmanship; it is no longer a precursor, nor does it have any effect, yet it still gathers the unusual movements into a single strike.

This is evidence obtained through feng shui fragments and other things, and the final result is the profound and powerful force that governs the rise and fall of these things.

Shorten the long into the short, gather the wide into the one, the tangible and the intangible are all in my hands.

This is the true power of the Overlord Blade!

That dark, seemingly unformed greatsword, with a single swing, tore apart the wind, the water, and the light.

Wherever the blade passed, the air seemed to turn into a graffiti canvas.

Various gray and white lines, seemingly chaotic, together form a rough and rugged trajectory.

The undulating greatsword led this chaotic state, slashing towards Chu Tianshu's Heartblood Divine Blade.
