People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 219 A Thousand Cuts

With this collision, the once invincible heavy swordsman had half of his body buried in the ground.

Even with the opponent activating the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, they were still at a disadvantage under Li Qi's strike.

However, after gaining the upper hand with this strike, Li Qi did not press his advantage. Instead, he gracefully retreated, gliding along the ground without any trace of cunning.

In that instant, the heavy-sword master suddenly burst out of the ground like a missile, unleashing a burst of violent power, but landing in empty air. He actually used the force of Li Qi's strike to his own advantage, transforming part of the power into his own explosive power.

However, Li Qi's mind is now too sharp, discerning to be mistaken, and he anticipated this long ago.

A strike that misses its mark would normally be a huge opening, as there would be no leverage in mid-air. However, Li Qi did not get close, because qi, in many cases, defies the laws of physics.

If Li Qi didn't have the experience of the past world, he might have made a misjudgment, but the situation is different now.

Sure enough, in the air, the heavy-swordsman took three steps in succession. Each step was as if he were stepping on solid ground. The air exploded, and the air lotus flowers were outlined!

Lotus grows every step of the way!

The contrast between the enormous muscular giant's incredibly skillful footwork and his actual abilities is truly astonishing.

Undoubtedly, although the Heavy Knife Master appeared rough and unruly during his lifetime, he was actually an extremely perceptive person.

But then again, what ordinary being could be transformed into such a state from fragments of the world?!

Three steps later, the heavy-sword master landed, inhaling sharply as if he were swallowing the heavens and earth into his body.

Then, after a brief pause, in an instant, he swung his heavy sword wildly, unleashing countless layers of sword light like a storm, sweeping across the sky and rolling in like a tidal wave, seemingly beyond human resistance.

The power of this move is undeniable. Unlike the boxer who uses various killing moves at will and takes a broad approach, the heavy swordsman's martial arts are extremely refined and pure. In particular, this move is the highest sublimation of the opponent's martial arts, the essence of his skills.

It is called the Thousand Extreme Overlord Slash!
There is nothing that cannot be cut, and nothing that cannot be cut!
Ten cuts reduced to one, capable of severing wood! A hundred cuts reduced to one, capable of cutting stone! A thousand cuts reduced to one, capable of splitting mountains!
Right now, it's a thousand cuts turning into one. At first, there were countless layers of sword light, but suddenly, like the finishing touch on a dragon painting, the countless layers of sword light suddenly condensed into a single sword.

Such a strike is truly exceptional!
Even the great demon Li Qi encountered in the past world, Li Qi felt that the opponent at the Three Flowers Perfection stage was definitely not as good as the heavy swordsman in front of him.

This sword stance, this sword power, this sword intent—it is absolutely unmatched among those of the same level at this current cultivation level!

With just this one strike, he can already be called a hero!

This time, however, Li Qi did not back down. His previous retreat was not only to avoid the attack, but also to conserve his strength.

The "Thousand Cuts Return to One" technique of the Heavy Swordsman does not actually involve slashing a thousand times, but rather the interplay and transformation of sword light, resembling a thousand cuts.

As Li Qi swung his sword, he also unleashed nine consecutive strikes. Each of these nine strikes was a deadly move to slay demons and prove his strength, a direct confrontation of brute force and power!
The blades clashed violently, sparks swirling like a dragon. With each strike, Li Qi's sword intent surged, his spirit boiled, yet he remained perfectly composed. And with each strike, the life potential unleashed was far more powerful than the previous one.

Under the pressure of the heavy-sword master, Li Qi also reached an unprecedented peak in his life, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

Even after the nine cuts, Li Qi clearly sensed that every cell in his body was emitting painful screams, as if all the cells in his body would completely collapse at any moment.

Li Qi ignored it completely, instead turning his pain into power and unleashing his tenth strike! This strike was no longer a demonstration of his power to slay demons, but rather a continuation of his path to immortality through killing, after the ninefold "Demon Slaying Proof" buff had been stacked!
I will prove myself by slaying demons, unleash my full potential, and then achieve enlightenment through killing, slaying powerful enemies!

It's just ten strikes combined into one, which can't compare to the heavy swordsman's thousand-slash combo in terms of quantity. But when this strike is unleashed, if a master is watching nearby, they will be horrified to discover that, in their spiritual perception, time seems to stand still when this strike is unleashed.

Time cannot stop according to human will. It is because Li Qi's sword intent was too heavy, as vast as the sky and as heavy as the earth, and the speed was too fast, so fast that it seemed to be able to catch up with time, that such a spiritual feeling was generated.

Sonorous!

Ten swords combined into one, meeting a thousand swords in one strike!
Then, the heavy sword broke, the divine weapon was damaged, and then, Li Qi's blade severed the heavy swordsman's head.

One move decides the life or death of the opponent.

Then, Li Qi's bones and muscles shattered, blood gushed out wildly, and his nervous system was completely in chaos, making it impossible for him to effectively control his muscles and internal organs.

In the end, one person died and the other was injured!
"With my buffs stacked up like this, I still managed to fight like this. The boost that Qi provides to combat power is truly terrifying. The Three Flowers Perfection means that my internal strength has definitely reached level 399..."

"It's almost four times taller than I am now..."

Li Qi's body collapsed to the ground, convulsing and writhing as if he had become some kind of bizarre creature. However, Li Qi's mind remained perfectly clear, completely unaffected by the collapse of his body.

His mental fortitude is so strong that he is not misled by these things at all. Instead, he immediately begins to reflect on the gains and losses of the battle just now.

If his current posture were recorded and leaked, his lifelong reputation would be ruined. Fortunately, there was no one else here.

As for the updated logs, Li Qi only glanced at them.

Log: You killed one Heavy Swordsman (White), gained 40 lives, and received 4000 potential points. Your swordsmanship experience was converted into 4000 potential points.

This benefit is twice that of a boxer, but the opponent is definitely several times stronger than two boxers combined.

But right now, Li Qi's martial arts skills are all maxed out, so his potential points can only be temporarily saved; only his destiny is useful.

After writhing and crawling on the ground for more than two minutes, Li Qi finally regained some control over his body, picked up the treasure chest, and opened it directly.

Instantly, a light screen popped up, emitting a purple glow.

The Overbearing Slash of Mountains and Rivers, Volume 1 (Purple): This is a sword technique created by a Confucian master who, after comprehending the aura of a hegemon within the mountains and rivers, uses reason to persuade people. It teaches that reason is the only way to educate, and reason prevails...

This sword technique is divided into two volumes. The first volume follows the domineering path, while the second volume follows the benevolent path. However, with the passage of time, the second volume has been lost to an unknown place...

Just by looking at the name, Li Qi felt that this sword technique was destined for him. The Great Demon's martial arts were mainly based on fist techniques, which was not impossible to transform fists into swords, but it was still a little lacking.

This sword technique has come at just the right time!
