Chapter 960: Sword and Blade Showdown (Part 1)

Time went back a bit.

Let's look at the entrance of Zangxin Villa...

At that time, it was still dark.

The courtyard was filled with murderous aura.

Under the dim light and fog, two outstanding figures stood in silence.

Li Ruoyu, Xu Huaishang.

This was the first time the two of them had a formal fight.

Neither of them... wanted to lose to the other.

"To be honest, I don't want to fight you." After a confrontation of dozens of seconds, Xu Huaishang spoke first, "Because you may be stronger than Feng Bujue."

This sentence was not a tactical show of weakness, nor was it a misleading statement, but Xu Huaishang was moved.

"Same here." Ruoyu's response was brief and her tone was calm.

They both expressed their respect for their opponents, but did not put away their killing intent.

And... their hands were always on their weapons.

"But since we have to fight..." When Xu Huaishang said this, the fighting spirit around him increased sharply again, "Then I will win."

"I see..." Ruoyu responded, "You plan to use 'that' from the beginning, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Huaishang was slightly startled, but she quickly regained her composure: "Yes ︾,!"

"Okay." Ruoyu said, then raised her left hand slightly and sacrificed her psychic weapon - [Original Water Sword], "Then let's go straight into the battle of 'that level'."

What they said may not be understood by others, but it doesn't matter... because people will soon be able to "see" what they are going to do.

There was another short silence...

About ten seconds later, suddenly!

Shh——

A fighting spirit exploded, announcing that a certain power in Xu Huaishang's body finally broke through the limit.

This... is her soul intention - [Soul Coming].

In the "Butterfly Battle" in S1, Xu Huaishang had used the special item [Bajingxia Pill] to obtain this ability. But at that time, this was still a power that she could not perfectly control and exert.

However, after that match, her fighting instinct had vaguely remembered and inherited some of the shadows of [Soul Coming].

Finally, when she reached the maximum level. This ability awakened as her soul...

The soul version of [Soul Coming] has two effects. First: At the moment of activation, all survival, physical and spiritual values ​​are restored. Second: In the next five minutes, you can use the "swordsmen's moves from other worlds" at will, and these moves will not consume physical value.

Compared with the item version, the soul version removed the invincible effect of "blood, body, and spirit are all positive and infinite when activated" and changed it to the setting of "no physical energy consumption when launching a move"; correspondingly, it also deleted the side effect of making the player's various values ​​become 1% after the end of Soul Coming. Of course, there is another change... Soul Coming can only be activated once in each scenario (generally, the cooling time of such skills in free exploration mode is 24 hours).

There is nothing much to say about the rest. The power of this move was demonstrated when Xu Huaishang first fought with Brother Jue.

See here. Some people may wonder, since this move also has the amazing effect of "full status recovery", why didn't Xu Huaishang wait for a while to fight with Li Ruoyu before opening it?

The answer is simple... Her intuition tells her that if she doesn't enter the [Soul Coming] state at the beginning, she may not even have the chance to open it and will lose.

On the other hand...

Ruoyu also opened the soul's [Extreme Efficiency] at the beginning of this battle.

Moreover, this is also the first time she used the martial arts she learned from Feng Zhihen in battle.

Feng Zhihen, Demonic Flow Sword.

Two swordsmanship. One is calm and happy, and the other is wild and crazy.

Feng Zhihen himself can create a clone to use these two swordsmanship, but Li Ruoyu can't.

However, Ruoyu has another way...

After receiving Feng Zhihen's guidance in the Wushuang Martial Arts Competition. Ruoyu integrated what she learned, combined with the special effects of her own [Mingyu Gong] seventh level, and conducted a lot of training, and finally successfully mastered the skills of using two swordsmanship with her left and right hands respectively, two swords... at the same time.

By the way, Ruoyu's current [Ming Yu Gong] has reached the eighth level. The specific effects are as follows...

[Name: Ming Yu Gong (eighth level)]

[Skill card attributes: special skills, permanent mastery, ability improves with practice]

[Skill category: ? ? ? ]

[Effect 1: The magic skill is just beginning. [Inner Breath Condensation] (The rate of consumption of physical energy is reduced, and you can move for a long time in an anaerobic state)

[Effect 2: Qi flows through the Ren and Du meridians, and you are reborn] (Basic physical skills are slightly improved)

[Effect 3: If your heart is as clear as ice, you will not be shocked by the collapse of the sky] (Resistance is improved when you are negatively affected by the mental system)

[Effect 4: Stepping on the wind and waves, moving into a shadow] (Active skill, allowing players to make a theoretically feasible extreme dodge action)

[Effect 5: Overcoming hardness with softness, lifting heavy objects with ease] (Physical damage ability is increased by 1.5 times)

[Effect 6: Moving flowers and jade, invincible by gods and ghosts] (Active skill, rebounding half of the attack power of an active damage skill to the releaser, the releaser is limited to the player)

[Effect 7: Do whatever you want, enter the realm of subtlety] (Perfectly control yourself, so that the body can make any subtle adjustments that can be achieved in theory)

[Effect 8: Infinite power, mysterious power like ice] (Can add ice attributes to any attack skill)

[Learning conditions: female players, level 35 or above, fighting specialization A, open spiritual specialization]

[Note: Yihua Palace's peerless martial arts, the authentic and top-notch inner family skills. Those who have mastered the skills will have endless power, mysterious energy like ice, eternal youth, and will be invincible in the world. ]

The content in brackets is not the description of the skill itself, but what Ruoyu has learned one by one through repeated attempts and exploration.

In fact, the skill description of [Mingyu Gong] itself only has the first part, which is similar to Xiao Tan's [Heaven and Earth Reversal Divine Art]. Just reading the text... you don't know what it does.

Then, here I will focus on the special effect of the seventh level of Mingyu Gong [Follow your heart and enter the realm of subtlety]...

The so-called "perfect control of oneself" does not seem to be a particularly difficult thing at first glance; because the body is originally your own thing, it is natural to be able to control it.

However, in fact, it is not the case...

Indeed, each of us is the master of our own body, but the human body is not so easy to control.

For example...

Okay, I know. After reading this, many people will definitely think of some obscene things, so I will declare first that I am a person with integrity and will not write those.

Then continue... for example...

A classic example is that people cannot open their eyes at the moment of sneezing.

Also... the right wrist and right ankle rotate clockwise and counterclockwise respectively; the tongue rotates clockwise in the mouth, while the head rotates counterclockwise; and the left hand draws a circle and the right hand draws a square...

There are many similar examples. Some obstacles come from the physiological limitations of the nervous system, and some are due to the difficulty of the same area of ​​the cerebral cortex to perform two tasks at the same time.

These are just problems that ordinary people can directly experience. In addition... there are some examples of body control that are beyond common sense, such as "controlling ears", "controlling hair", and even "controlling bones", "controlling organs", "controlling blood", etc.

After saying so much, it is nothing more than one meaning... it is actually very difficult to control your own body.

So put it into practice. Since "drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right hand" is so difficult, then the difficulty of "using one set of sword techniques with the left hand and another set of sword techniques with the right hand" can be imagined.

Even Ruoyu, who has upgraded [Ming Yu Gong] to the seventh level, took a long time to master the skill of "fighting with both hands".

In summary, these two... both have the ultimate, outstanding and exquisite martial arts, and... they have reached a consensus, abandoning all temptations and directly launching the most peak contest!

…………

Dawn is approaching, and the light fog is getting thicker.

Under the light, the fighting spirit is strong. Two swords meet two knives.

There are no more words, everything has been explained in the fighting spirit.

Before the two weapons have been handed over, the aura of the knife and the sword has expanded again. Almost covering the radius of 50 meters.

The surrounding players and NPCs can all feel this real power, and they are forced to retreat more than ten feet away from this solemn and murderous environment.

Finally. When the fighting spirit of both sides rose to a critical point, at the same moment, the two... moved.

Fast. Incredibly fast, so fast that it is hard to keep up.

At the moment when the swords were used, the two figures disappeared from people's sight almost at the same time.

The three members of Hongying could not see their movements.

Yuan Qi and the martial arts heroes present could not see their movements either.

Hua Jian could not see their movements either...

Among all the people present, only Wang Tanzhi... could keep up with their fighting rhythm under the premise of opening [Eagle Eye Vision].

Buzz buzz buzz buzz——

In the blurry and messy swords and swords, there was only a dense and strange buzzing sound, but no sound of metal clashing.

Only Xiao Tan understood... that was because the weapons of the two were too strong, so strong that the energy on the surface of the weapons repelled each other and could not touch each other.

Ruoyu's [Xuanyuan Sword] is a tangible holy sword, and her psychic weapon [Original Water Sword] is an invisible strange sword. Neither of these two weapons has special effects or attributes specifically for players, but their attack power is already enough to defy the heavens. Although the [Original Water Sword], which has not yet fully grown, is inferior to the Xuanyuan Sword in strength, it is still not inferior to any magic weapon with its "indestructible" characteristic.

Xu Huaishang's double swords are also psychic weapons, and they are fully grown psychic weapons...

Left sword:

[Name: Falling Flowers]

[Type: Psychic Weapon]

[Quality: Legend]

[Attack Power: Extremely Strong]

[Attributes: None]

[Special Effect 1: Flowers Bloom (Causes 300% damage when attack hits)]

[Special Effect 2: Flowers Wither (Offsets 60% damage when blocking successfully)]

[Special Effect 3: Falling Flowers and Flying Catkins (Unique Style, can only be used when double swords are combined, cooldown time is four hours)]

[Remarks: Where is the person in the distant world? 】

Right knife:

[Name: Flying catkins]

[Type: Psychic weapon]

[Quality: Legend]

[Attack power: Extremely strong]

[Attributes: None]

[Special effect 1: Flying wind (increases attack speed by 100% after each attack hits, this effect lasts for ten seconds, and can be stacked up to three times)]

[Special effect 2: Falling catkins (increases movement speed by 50% after each successful block, this effect lasts for six seconds, and can be stacked up to four times)]

[Special effect 3: Falling flowers and flying catkins (unique style, can only be used with two knives combined, cooling time is four hours)]

[Remarks: A smile can relieve the sorrows of the world today and in the past. 】

The effects of these two weapons are quite amazing. Whether it is against players or monsters... as long as it is a melee fight, they can play an extremely terrifying effect.

If Ruoyu did not turn on "Extreme Efficiency", it would be difficult to deal with.

However, Ruoyu has Extreme Efficiency, and Xu Huaishang also has Soul Coming...

After a round of 30 seconds of extremely fast attack and defense, the two found that... so far, the battle is evenly matched.

Maybe Ruoyu has more advantages in the first ten seconds, but when the two effects of [Flying Catkins] gradually add up, Xu Huaishang saved the situation.

But, this... still can't determine the winner.

Ruoyu knows the existence of [Soul Coming], so when she saw Xu Huaishang making a move, she asked, "Are you going to use 'that' at the beginning?"

But Xu Huaishang didn't know the specific information of [Extreme Efficiency]. After all, there is no one in her team who can see through the enemy's data, so... she doesn't know how long Ruoyu's "extreme" state can last, nor does she know what changes will happen.

In this case, Xu Huaishang, who can only open the soul for five minutes, will undoubtedly fight more actively...

So, when the battle reached the 31st second...Xu Huaishang changed his moves first.

"Revolution Dance. Heaven!"

Xu Huaishang is actually a person who likes to report the names of moves. In fact, the studio also has regulations for them in this regard... In view of the fact that this behavior can increase the fashion value, the studio encourages players to report it in battle... If they can.

Of course, this matter is a matter of opinion. Some people appear to be arrogant and cool, cold and evil when they report the names of moves... But some people appear to be shameful or even vulgar when they report them.

Where is the standard... 70% depends on the face, and 30% depends on the temperament...

In short, in the situation where the conventional moves are fruitless, Goddess Xu is the first to change her moves.

Seeing this scene, Ruoyu said no matter what she said...

"Demon Flow Sword..." Ruoyu said with her actions, I can also report the names of moves, "...Sword. Weeping Rain."

Even when doing such a second-year thing, she can still reveal a kind of cold style, which is not easy.

"Wind Trace..." And the two sets of sword techniques in her left and right hands were two different moves, "...Flowing Wind and Easy Trace."

When the two finished speaking, their moves were intertwined.

At that second, the colliding fighting spirits actually made a crackling sound like lightning and thunder.

The intertwined energy also burst into a gorgeous stream of light.

After a breath, I saw...

Two figures crossed and separated...At this point in the battle, the two figures stopped for the first time. (To be continued...)
