I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3171: Chapter 1617: Without Intention, Willow Trees Provide Shade; With Intention, Flowers Bloom Too_3

“The strongest attack is the best defense, haven’t you heard this saying?” Dao Qiongcang sneered, “This also applies to the Heart Sword Technique. If we can outmaneuver, let’s try not to clash head-on, alright?”

Yue Gongli nodded thoughtfully.

At the end, Wangze Holy Emperor still remembered asking this question:

“What about spiritual attacks?”

At the time, Dao Qiongcang affirmed with certainty:

“You know them, that’s best.”

...

“Attacking the physique is lower, while attacking the soul is higher.”

“If you could abandon the physique and entrust your intent to the soul, while unleashing the strongest spiritual attack…”

“Congratulations, as long as your speed exceeds Wisdom is Emptiness before it starts, and it surprises his soul.”

“You don’t even need to injure him; once he is startled, that sword will definitely not come out!”

…

It’s time!

It is the spiritual attack!

Be fast, the fastest, even faster, to directly startle him!

Once his soul is startled and his consciousness becomes chaotic, Wisdom is Emptiness will destruct by itself, leaving him at least severely injured or, worse, unconscious!

Wangze Holy Emperor sneered inwardly.

After the battle at Abyss Island, he traced back how Rao Yaoyao had died.

At that time, Razor Yaoyao had only a wisp of lingering thought left, which escaped Abyss Island with the help of the Singer of the Stars and Moon’s ultimate song.

Xu Xiaoshou relied on the Four Divine Pillars and had to force open the second stage of Wisdom is Emptiness to annihilate Rao Yaoyao’s powerless lingering thought.

Was he strong?

He was quite strong, being able to open the second stage of the Ancient Sword Technique at such a young age.

Was he weak?

He was too weak!

The demi-saint’s lingering thought could be obliterated easily.

Why use a cleaver to kill a chicken, needing to open the second stage to erase?

Could it be that in his eyes, every person surnamed Rao should be dealt with by Wisdom is Emptiness?

“Soul Destroying Spirit Gang!”

The moment the Way of the Sword Upanishad Formation was displayed, Wangze Holy Emperor’s third realm battle consciousness was no joke.

He didn’t even hesitate for a moment, nor did he consider retreating.

He advanced aggressively!

The soul body formed seals!

Instantly, a tearing soul wind rose within the All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion.

No need for a sneak attack, just advancing, rising directly at the position where Xu Xiaoshou was “standing.”

“Boom, boom, boom—”

The storm swept through.

The anticipated screams did not come.

Having prepared another spiritual attack, Wangze Holy Emperor paused abruptly in front of Xu Xiaoshou.

Because…

Xu Xiaoshou was gone?

“Where is he?”

The person, who according to Dao Qiongcang’s tactics, should have been standing there because of drawing the sword, and whom he had managed to hit doubtfully about life.

Had vanished without a trace?

“Where is he?!”

Wangze Holy Emperor stood there dumbfounded, subsequently feeling an unreasonable irritation rising in his heart, and even the eyes of the soul body burst out with bloody light.

“Dao Qiongcang, where is he!!!”

…

Dao Qiongcang was greatly startled.

What does this have to do with me?

For a moment, he thought Wangze had recognized him.

But after thinking it through, that shouldn’t be the case, right?

Seeing that Xu Xiaoshou also wanted to deal with you as a half soul body, I hadn’t planned to get involved at all, why are you yelling at me?

You should be yelling at Xu Xiaoshou!

In the attic, as Xu Xiaoshou disappeared, a small white light appeared in his place, disrupting everyone’s thoughts.

The white light, like a candle flame, initially very illusionary, suddenly turned into a blinding white sun, completely obstructing everyone’s vision in this area.

“Is this Wisdom is Emptiness?”

Wangze Holy Emperor nearly went mad.

He didn’t even sense a hint of consciousness attack beforehand, but now felt increasingly exiled by the Great Path, abandoned by heaven and earth, enveloped by a chilling essence.

A murmur suddenly sounded in his ears, as if the god of death was gently playing a song:

“All things return to the daylight, the useless seedlings fail.”

“Clothing returns to original resolution and extinction, the Supreme Abandonment.”

…

No Sword Arts, second stage, Heavenly Abandon!

Dao Qiongcang’s eyes widened in learning, secretly shifting to the Six Dao Qiongcang·Sword Immortal Way mode.

Whether he could learn it or not wasn’t important.

Just remembering it was correct, later, whatever fraction he could mimic would suffice.

Xu Xiaoshou has grown stronger again!

Meanwhile, seeing this sword and hearing Wangze Holy Emperor’s shout, Dao Qiongcang finally understood something.

“Success comes from creating an unintended shade with casual willow planting…”

“Who says theoretical discussions are useless? Back then, I was indeed naive, but everything I proposed and discussed was very useful!”

…

At that moment, Wangze Holy Emperor’s mind went blank.

As his soul body plunged into the “daylight,” when the Great Path estranged from his self, when armor and self gradually abandoned…

Heavenly Abandonment had completely formed!

His half soul body was utterly destroyed!

“Why?”

Until the end, Wangze Holy Emperor couldn’t believe all that had happened.

So fast!

Too fast!

The physique shattered quickly, and the soul body passed away quickly!

He felt as if someone had guided him, directing his battle thoughts and thinking towards an extreme foolishness.

Even at the moment that should have been resistive, refusing to accept being beyond salvation, he forgot to pull out the Holy Ancestor Stone Carving, forgetting to use the Death Replacement Grass Doll.

His thoughts, at the moment his own soul body was wilting away, were still swirling, immersed in past memories, still trying to find Heaven Abandonment flaw to mend the fold:

“Heaven Abandonment, what do you think about this swordsmanship?” Yue Gongli asked.

“Um…” After discussing Wisdom is Emptiness, Dao Qiongcang expressed his helplessness at the new question, spread his hands, and shook his head:

“Bazhun’an seldom uses No Sword Arts, or rather, he seldom uses No Sword Arts Heavenly Abandonment; he mostly uses No Sword Arts to aid his sword techniques, so there’s little useful information.”

“This ancient swordsmanship, you might have to ask Wen Ting at the Burial Sword Tomb, but as I said initially…”

“I’m not very familiar with Wen Ting.”

“I have never seen him use Heavenly Abandonment.”
