Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

The extraordinary experts present were all intelligent, and they quickly came up with a possibility.

"Those who are close to godhood should not make a move except during the 'Cataclysm of Annihilation'." This covenant was proposed by the "Saint" and he has been firmly adhering to it. At this moment, the Saint suddenly appeared and set up a barrier on the battlefield between Li Xin and Wu Ji. This shows that the "Saint" believes that the destructive power caused by the duel between the two is comparable to the "Cataclysm of Annihilation", and it is a "Cataclysm of Annihilation" that has already taken shape!

Upon realizing this, all the extraordinary experts were terrified.

Chapter 762 The Unmasterable "Third Divine Skill"

Li Xin and Wu Ji were unaware of the sudden appearance and disappearance of the "Saint," and they were completely unaware of the light barrier that stretched for ten miles around.

At this moment, the two of them had nothing but each other in their eyes; the slightest distraction could result in their deaths.

Amidst the sea of ​​swords and waves, Li Xin swung his blade to strike Wu Ji head-on. Wu Ji met the attack head-on, but found countless sword energies attacking from both sides. He separated his long staff, twirled it, and blocked the sword energies from both sides. However, no matter how tightly Wu Ji defended, he could only protect the front, left, and right sides. Sword and saber energies also attacked from the top, bottom, and back, making it impossible for Wu Ji to defend against them.

Wu Ji frowned. Although he had learned about this move from the notes left by his ancestors, he still found it troublesome when he actually faced it.

If there's no way to stop it, then let's not try to stop it!

Wu Ji suddenly activated his "Rakshasa Battle Armor," black and gold armor covering his entire body. No matter how powerful the sword and saber energy was, it couldn't break through this reinforced protective energy.

I'll hold him off for a moment, and once he's exhausted his moves, that's when I'll counterattack!

Wu Ji struggled to defend against Li Xin's "First Divine Skill," fully expecting that even Li Xin could not sustain such a powerful move for long. However, Wu Ji felt that most of his true energy was consumed, and Li Xin's offensive not only did not weaken, but his sword and saber energy became stronger and stronger!

"Trying to withstand my attack head-on? That's a bad idea."

Li Xin constantly moved around Wu Ji. The attack of the "First Divine Skill" was not only sword energy and saber energy, but also his own body, "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade". Compared with sword energy and saber energy, the saber and sword that Li Xin had infused with powerful true energy were the real killing moves. The power was stronger and stronger each time, forcing Wu Ji to maintain the "Rakshasa Battle Armor" with the highest power, which greatly depleted his true energy.

Wu Ji concentrated on his thoughts, then suddenly exclaimed, "I understand!"

"What did you understand?"

Li Xin couldn't help but ask, "How can you still find time to talk and ask questions while moving at high speed?" This shows Li Xin's composure.

"You were actually able to absorb that emitted energy and turn it back into an attack!"

Wu Ji revealed the reason why Li Xin was able to maintain such a high intensity of attacks.

Seeing that Wu Ji had already guessed the reason, Li Xin readily admitted, "That's right, that's exactly it."

After reaching the ninth level of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", Li Xin gained the ability of "power originating from the heart and reaching everywhere". He could freely control his power, releasing and withdrawing it at will, and no external force could shake it. The power he released was also extremely solid and would not dissipate. Before hitting the target, there would be no loss of power.

The Mingyu Gong, which is on par with the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, also develops extraordinary abilities after reaching its top level. It can attract and retract the force that is emitted. Li Xin can retract the same amount of force as he throws out, without losing any of it. It can even attract some of the force generated when martial arts resist attacks, which is why Li Xin's attacks become stronger and stronger.

After understanding the secret behind Li Xin's relentless attacks, Wu Ji realized that he couldn't hold out until Li Xin's strength was exhausted. So he stopped passively taking hits and instead channeled his energy into his staff, unleashing the "Hundred Calamities of Fierce Souls" from the "Soul-Devouring Immortal-Slaying Staff Technique".

"Hundred Calamities of the Ferocious Soul" is a killing move in the "Soul-Devouring Immortal-Slaying Staff Technique". Once it is used, dense staff shadows shoot out into the sky, and the evil appearance of skeletons emerges, fierce and violent.

The staff's power was terrifying, a dense rain of blows that left no room for escape. Even Li Xin couldn't dodge in time and could only use his sword to defend, deflecting all of Wu Ji's staff force.

The dissipated force scattered and flew in all directions, landing on the barrier set up by the "Saint" and stirring up countless ripples. The barrier, which remained unmoved by the tsunami, reacted fiercely when faced with the Martial Master's staff force.

While Li Xin was focused on dealing with Wu Ji's staff attack, the offensive of the surrounding sword and saber energy weakened. Wu Ji took the opportunity to retreat. At the same time, he held "Soul Devourer" vertically and activated "Double Overlord". One end of "Soul Devourer" absorbed the heavens and the other end swallowed the earth energy of the netherworld. The two forces entered Wu Ji's body through "Soul Devourer", causing Wu Ji's body to expand and grow stronger.

Li Xin blocked all the force of the staff, but saw that Wu Ji had already completed his preparations, combining the boundless power of "Nine Heavens Thunder Overlord" and "Nine Netherworld Void Overlord" to attack Li Xin.

"Let's see who has the greater strength!"

Wu Ji had previously used the "Two Overlords" combined technique, which was already incredibly powerful. Now, Wu Ji's strength is more than ten times greater than before. The "Thunderous Netherworld Overlord" has reappeared, and its power is even more terrifying.

Unable to dodge in time, Li Xin could only raise his sword to take the blow head-on. Under the heavy blow, Li Xin's arms went numb. What shocked Li Xin even more was that "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" actually developed slight cracks under this blow!

Li Xin had carefully studied the two divine weapons, "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade." Although their materials were not as good as Ming swords, they were by no means ordinary. Moreover, their forging techniques were extremely advanced. Although it could be seen that these two swords had been through many battles, they had no obvious damage. They were famous weapons that had been tested. However, they actually cracked after this battle!

Li Xin was shocked and involuntarily revealed a flaw. How could Wu Ji let go of such a good opportunity? He thrust his long staff straight at Li Xin's chest, causing Li Xin to vomit blood.

This was the first time Wu Ji had truly injured Li Xin since the start of the war, but Wu Ji was not happy at all. He slowed down his attack and said to Li Xin, "If your sword hadn't been damaged just now, forcing you to temporarily stop, I wouldn't have been able to suppress you with this move."

Li Xin spat out the blood in his mouth, used "Mingyu True Qi" to heal his injuries, and then said, "Weapons are also part of strength, aren't they? Besides, this is two against one, so I'm not necessarily at a disadvantage."

Wu Ji nodded: "You're right, this round is a draw. Use your second divine skill!"

"it is good!"

After reaching the ninth level of the Mingyu Gong, the healing ability also increased, and Li Xin's chest injury was healed in the blink of an eye.

The swords and blades flew from his hand, but instead of falling into the sea, they swirled and danced around him, creating countless afterimages, like clones.

Both "Boundless Sea of ​​Qi" and "The Scripture of Wisdom for Controlling All Laws" are masters of controlling objects. One controls objects with qi, and the other controls objects with spirit. Li Xin controlled his sword with "Boundless Sea of ​​Qi" and his saber with "The Scripture of Wisdom for Controlling All Laws". He used two things at the same time, and his sword and saber danced together. His speed kept increasing. At first, you could still see afterimages, but later, you could not even see afterimages anymore.

Wu Ji concentrated his true energy into his eyes, pushing his dynamic vision to its limit, but he still couldn't see the shadows of "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade".

How could that be...

Wu Ji was shocked. After his shock, bloodstains appeared on his cheeks, arms, calves, back, and other parts of his body. He didn't even feel the pain. His body had already been injured by Li Xin's swords.

At this moment, Li Xin stood in front of Wu Ji, without a knife or sword in his hand, seemingly unarmed, but he was more dangerous than ever before.

The swords and blades didn't disappear; they were operating at a speed invisible to the naked eye... no, even imperceptible to the mind.

The speed of the swords controlled by Li Xin was terrifying, enough to injure Wu Ji without him even realizing it!

For (true) extraordinary powerhouses, exceeding the speed of sound is a basic skill. Generally, they can reach one to two times the speed of sound, and those who are skilled can even reach four times the speed of sound.

Even for extraordinary experts, speeds exceeding five times the speed of sound are not easily achieved; only a select few possess this speed. Therefore, among extraordinary experts, speeds exceeding five times the speed of sound are referred to as the "God Speed ​​Domain."

At this moment, Li Xin controlled the sword with his qi and the blade with his spirit, making the speed of the sword and blade exceed the speed of sound by more than five times.

Among the extraordinary experts watching, none could see the trajectory of Li Xin's sword. Even Shiki Kōnosuke, who gouged out his own eyes and used his mind to see things, could not sense Li Xin's sword. This move, "Xiao Xiao Sha Sha Mie Hong Chen," was many times faster than when he fought him, reaching a terrifying speed of more than twenty times the speed of sound. This speed is known among extraordinary experts as the "Super God Speed ​​Domain"!

Where's your sword ball?

Martial arts seek the way.

He clearly remembered that the "second divine skill" recorded in the ancestral notes was to control swords to form a sword ball and use the sword ball to injure people. Li Xin had indeed done this in his duel with Shiki Kōnosuke. But why is Li Xin's sword ball gone now, and he can't even see the swords?

Is this your "second divine skill" representing speed, or... your "third divine skill"?

Li Xin smiled and said, "The original 'Second Divine Skill' was because the speed was too fast, making it impossible to control the swords precisely. So, the swords flew in a circular motion, forming a sword ball. This allowed the swords to generate lethality at extremely high speeds while being easier to control."

If Li Xin had to describe it, the original "second divine skill" was actually turning swords into chainsaws. How fast could you go by simply swinging a chainsaw? But once the chainsaw is turned on and the blades are spinning, the power it generates is unimaginable.

It must be said that the ancients were truly remarkable. Even without education in scientific theory, they could still discover some very interesting things in life and in actual combat.

What should have been a "speedy divine technique" that would catch people off guard and take their lives without them even realizing it has become a "flaw that is not a flaw" because it turns swords into a ball of swords.

Wu Ji hesitated and said, "Then you..."

"I do not need."

Li Xin said calmly.

When Li Xin first participated in the "KOF" tournament, he reached the seventh level of the "Mingyu Gong". At that time, he felt that the scenery around him slowed down and he even saw double images. Later, after being reminded by Zhen Yuanzhai, Li Xin realized that it was the "Mingyu Gong" that improved his reaction speed.

The human limit for reaction speed is 60 milliseconds. When Li Xin broke through to the seventh level of the Mingyu Gong, his reaction speed was reduced to 50 milliseconds, which was already at the level of an extraordinary expert. When Li Xin broke through to the eighth level of the Mingyu Gong, his reaction speed was reduced again, reaching an unbelievable 25 milliseconds.

Now, Li Xin's "Mingyu Gong" has broken through to the ninth level. His body moves with his mind, and his reaction speed is infinitely close to zero. Only with such reaction ability can he freely control the super-fast divine skill!

Li Xin appears to be without a sword or blade, but in reality, "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" are constantly spinning under Li Xin's control. However, because they do not follow a specific trajectory, they do not create afterimages.

"What a brilliant 'speed technique'! Your 'second divine technique' has probably already surpassed the original."

Wu Ji couldn't help but praise.

The original "second divine skill" was traceable, but Li Xin's "second divine skill" was formless and untraceable, almost comparable to the "third divine skill".

Thinking of this, Wu Ji couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what the 'third divine skill' is after the 'divine skill of strength' and the 'divine skill of speed'?"

Li Xin has surpassed the original versions of both divine skills. He really wants Li Xin to master the "third divine skill". His ancestor's biggest regret was that he failed to crack the perfect "third divine skill". If he could make up for this regret, then today's duel could come to a perfect end.

Without needing Wu Ji's explanation, Li Xin preemptively answered, "It's space, it's nothingness!"

He observed the moves for a long time at "Separated by a River and Sky," and only felt the meaning of three moves: one was "The Chaos and Turmoil Breaks the Wind and Clouds," another was "The Desolate Killing Annihilates the Mortal World," and the third was a move with the power to destroy the world.

However, Li Xin never managed to comprehend even a fraction of the "third divine skill" mentioned by Wu Ji.

At first, Li Xin thought it was because he lacked comprehension, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the "first divine skill" was the "divine skill of strength," which was to dominate with strength, while the "second divine skill" was the "divine skill of speed," which was to be unbreakable by speed. So what should the third divine skill be?

After much deliberation, Li Xin finally concluded that it was about space.

Considering that he had never been able to sense the intent of the "Third Divine Skill," Li Xin boldly guessed that the intent of the "Third Divine Skill" was nothingness, which was why Li Xin could not observe it.

After learning that the "Third Divine Skill" was nothingness, Li Xin knew that he would never be able to master it, because Li Xin possessed it.

“This ‘third divine skill’ can only be mastered by someone who is empty of everything and has nothing. But I have family (the village chief and Secretary Wang), a lover, and friends… I have so many people I care about. How can I possibly comprehend that ethereal ‘third divine skill’?”

Li Xin versus Wuji Dao.

"That's such a pity..."

Wu Ji sighed.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Compared to that 'third divine skill,' I think you should think more about how to break my 'second divine skill.' If you can't even get past this hurdle, why bother thinking about a 'third divine skill'?"

Wu Ji chuckled softly: "I should think about it, because of your 'Second Divine Skill'..."

Suddenly, Wu Ji, who had been motionless, struck out with his staff with lightning speed, sending "Greedy Wolf" hurtling towards Li Xin.

Wu Ji said calmly, "Sorry, it took me some time to get used to the speed of your sword, but now I can see it more clearly and keep up with your speed a little. So, stop using your sword to write 'Wu Ji is a fool' in front of me. If you want to curse, just curse directly. Don't resort to such underhanded methods."

Li Xin: "..."

Damn, they even noticed that? This damn "27-year lifespan"!

Chapter 763 Run! There's a cow!

Wu Ji said he had adapted to Li Xin's speed, and Li Xin did not doubt him. After all, Wu Ji never lied, and Li Xin had already experienced the power of the "Twenty-Seven Great Limit"—it was simply unreasonable.

However, Li Xin was not discouraged, because the speed he had just achieved was not his limit.

Control the sword with your qi, control the blade with your spirit!

Li Xin no longer held back, manipulating his swords to fly towards Wuji from two directions.

At that moment, Wu Ji suddenly closed his eyes, and at the same time, the "Rakshasa Battle Armor" reappeared, enveloping the entire Wu Ji.

Li Xin couldn't help but chuckle to himself upon seeing this.

"The Divine Skill of Speed", "The Divine Skill of Speed"... Wu Ji, you don't think that the second divine skill is called "The Divine Skill of Speed" just because it's fast, do you?

Power equals speed multiplied by mass. At the current speed of "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade", the power contained within them is probably even greater than when the "First Divine Skill" is used. Wuji's "Rakshasa Battle Armor" could never defend against Li Xin's "Second Divine Skill"!

To warn Wu Ji, Li Xin did not attack Wu Ji's vital points, but instead prepared to stab him in the back.

"Sky Blade" sped forward, circled behind Wu Ji, and slashed at Wu Ji's back.

In a fraction of a second, or even less, the "Soul Devourer" twisted and knocked the "Heavenly Blade" off Xi Wuji's back.

Li Xin was surprised and spurred the faster "Greedy Wolf" to slash at Wu Ji's forearm. At the last second, Wu Ji's "Soul Devourer" flicked the "Greedy Wolf" away, and the "Greedy Wolf" flew towards Li Xin's direction. Li Xin turned his head to dodge, thus avoiding being stabbed by the "Greedy Wolf".

"You have the 'Divine Skill of Speed,' and I also have the 'Heavenly Soul Devouring Technique.' Although your attacks are fast, as long as I sense them, I can return all of your attacks to you!"

Wu Ji used the term "Soul Devourer" to target Li Xindao.

"Heavenly Soul Devouring" is the strongest move of "Soul Devouring Immortal Slaying Staff Technique". However, unlike other fierce and violent moves, this move is a counterattack technique. While blocking the enemy's attack, it also counterattacks the enemy's attack along with its own power. It uses the enemy's spear to attack the enemy's shield, making it impossible to defend against. It is the most perfect combination of attack and defense.

Li Xin rolled his eyes: "Give me a break, you clearly used the 'Rakshasa Battle Armor' as a buffer just now, which is why you were able to react in time!"

He understood that Wu Ji had activated the "Rakshasa Battle Armor" not to block Li Xin's attack, but to use it to momentarily deflect "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade," thus giving him the opportunity to parry them again.

With his secret exposed, Wu Ji wasn't embarrassed at all. He said frankly, "There's nothing I can do. Your 'Speed ​​Divine Skill' is too fast. Although I can see the trajectory of your attack, I can't react in time. I can only resort to this trick."

Li Xin recalled "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" to his hands and said to Wu Ji, "Aren't moves just techniques for using the small to defeat the large and the weak to overcome the strong? Otherwise, you and I wouldn't need to duel here. We could just arm wrestle to decide the winner and then go home to sleep, wouldn't that be better? It's your skill to come up with such a solution. However, my 'Divine Speed ​​Technique' has not yet been upgraded to its peak. Let's see if your swift counterattack technique can block my full speed!"

"What if we could?"

Martial arts seek the way.

"That means there's still room for improvement in my 'Speed ​​Divine Skill'."

Li Xin replied.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ji couldn't help but smile: "I was afraid you would lose all your fighting spirit because of this. It seems I can unleash my full potential now."

Excellent, excellent! Only with this kind of confidence can one be worthy of being his most important rival in life!

Li Xin infused his swords with powerful internal energy, and "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" flew towards Wu Ji at an even faster speed. Wu Ji focused his mind and closed his eyes, sensing with his heart that "Greedy Wolf" and "Soul Devourer" were indeed several times faster than before!

Once speed reaches the "super speed realm," any further improvement becomes incredibly difficult. Yet, Li Xin is able to take his already lightning-fast "speed divine skill" to the next level, a truly terrifying feat.

However, he was facing Wu Ji, the sect leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect who was nearing the "27th Great Limit"!

"Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" are faster and stronger. Even with the enhanced reaction ability from the Martial Extreme, they still suffered repeated losses under the "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade", leaving multiple wounds on their bodies.

The key to skill lies in striking the perfect balance—not a fraction too much, not a fraction too little. Once the speed of the sword increases by even a fraction, if the martial artist is even half a beat slower, they will be completely helpless against it.
