This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 549: Chapter 44 “Knowing the Enemy and Knowing Yourself”_3

Silver light formed a massive Ghost Leopard in the air, pouncing toward Lu Qingshan and instantly covering his figure.

Having preemptively sensed this attack, Lu Qingshan was naturally well-prepared.

Accompanied by the sound of clashing metal, the Five Elements Sword Garment had already left his body before the Ghost Leopard could fully form.

Through five layers of obstruction, either reducing damage, weakening, dissolving, or dividing, he barely managed to block the silver Ghost Leopard.

Yet, the powerful impact still shook him, causing his Qi-Blood to surge and a trickle of blood to seep from the corner of his mouth.

He was injured.

Feeling the surge of murderous intent in his heart from the light wound, Lu Qingshan continued.

Having just attacked once, the now replenished Dragon Sparrow and Oblivion circled back, probing towards Luo Yi’s lower groin area.

Ruthlessly and accurately.

Luo Yi’s face suddenly changed color.

Even the softest man has parts that are as hard as iron at times.

Similarly, even the hardest man has parts that are usually soft in most situations.

He dared not face the two Flying Swords head-on anymore. Twisting his form, he burst forth with the speed Intent, flitting like a shadow toward the back, his velocity so great that he was able to create distance even from the Flying Swords approaching at nearly a hundred times the speed of sound.

But as a Body Cultivation practitioner facing a Sword Cultivator, the fact that he was the first to actively abandon close-range combat was a tremendous disgrace!

Using the brief time gained by his suddenly accelerated movement, Luo Yi recovered some strength, delivering two claws in succession, blocking both Thunder-Fire Swords.

Silver light flickered, and two crisp sounds rang out from his jade-like palms.

Seeing Luo Yi create distance to buy reaction time, Lu Qingshan, more than willing, had the Dragon Sparrow and Peach Blossom Sword strike one after another.

Luo Yi moved swiftly, and his physical defensive power was astonishing, but even a metal rod can be ground to a needle. How long could the hard Luo Yi hold out?

Before long, Luo Yi’s body bore numerous fine wounds, with flesh turned inside out.

Thereupon, Luo Yi closed in once again.

Lu Qingshan naturally did not fear, stepping forward to meet him.

Marquis Luotang watched the scene unfolding in the arena domain, his complexion stiff and gloomy beyond measure.

Because the situation was far from optimistic.

Xia Daoyun’s disciple seemed inexplicably familiar with Luo Yi’s techniques as if knowing them like the back of his hand, repeatedly rendering Luo Yi’s attacks ineffective.

Helpless, Luo Yi could only shift from targeted attacks to group attack techniques, seeking to force Lu Qingshan into an unavoidable position.

But as everyone knows, compared to focused assaults, group attacks broaden the hitting range at the cost of reduced power and a rapid increase in the consumption of Spiritual Power.

Therefore, few would choose to use group attack methods against an opponent in a one-on-one duel.

That would undoubtedly indicate a brain addled by water.

Luo Yi’s brain wasn’t addled, but it was as if Lu Qingshan was splashing ice water on his head, forcing his brain to become addled.

Additionally, two terrifying Flying Swords at the periphery continually weaved and attacked.

Under such circumstances, Luo Yi was already soaked in blood, his clothes sticky and wet.

“Lu Qingshan has become much stronger than one year ago,” Spirit Moon remarked with a ripple of emotion in her spring-like eyes.

Lin Yao glanced at the excitedly flushed Spirit Moon and remained silent.

On this side,

after a prolonged exchange,

Lu Qingshan stepped through the air, his aura dramatically rising.

The activation of Causality True Intent consumed a terrifying amount of Spiritual Power.

Seeing Luo Yi’s flagging state, Lu Qingshan decided it was time to end this duel.

He let out a low shout in his heart.

Secret Sword: Subduing Heaven.

The battle had reached this moment, and he finally used his first unconventional technique.

This was a pinnacle Secret Sword created by the Sword Immortal, forbidden due to its fifteenfold power.

The Peach Blossom Sword shimmered with a terrifying fluctuation, carrying a destructive aura as it slashed towards Luo Yi.

Luo Yi hurriedly extended his left palm to meet the sword.

Seeing that Lu Qingshan did not intend to change his move against his own left palm, a trace of undetectable joy flickered in Luo Yi’s eyes.

Facing Lu Qingshan’s strongest burst, a normal person would choose to evade the sharp edge, yet he did not flinch or dodge.

Because he had an ace up his sleeve.

Using Ghost Leopard’s true blood, he had undergone Dharma Aspect Metamorphosis on his left palm in advance.

The reason he had not used it previously was that powerful as this palm was, it still had to hit its target to be effective.

Lu Qingshan’s uncannily prescient ability was too bizarre, and he had always managed to dodge Luo Yi’s attacks by a hair’s breadth.

Furthermore, his Dharma Aspect Metamorphosis was also a focused attack technique. If he carelessly unleashed it, he might not hit Lu Qingshan at all, exposing his ultimate move in the process and allowing Lu Qingshan to be on guard, which would be problematic.

Now his patience had finally brought about the opportunity for victory.

Dazzling silver light burst forth from Luo Yi’s left palm.

As the silver light dispersed, his left palm swelled several times over. Layer upon silver layer of scales covered his entire palm, patterned like the markings on a Ghost Leopard’s body.

In an instant, his fleshly palm transformed into a leopard paw.

The aura of a Barbarian Wilderness beast surged from his left palm.

“That is a real leopard’s paw, not just a Dharma Aspect illusion!” someone immediately recognized the mystery of Luo Yi’s palm and whispered.

Sky-rushing Leopard Hammer!

Luo Yi utilized his metamorphosed left palm, unleashing the Divine Skills of his physical body, with Spiritual Power bursting forth from within.

His leopard’s paw shot out fiercely, confronting Lu Qingshan’s chilling sword.

His father had fully briefed him on Lu Qingshan’s background before the battle.

He not only knew that the sword Lu Qingshan wielded was his signature move, Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword.

He was also acutely aware of the specific power of that sword.

He was certain, beyond a doubt, that the power of his own palm could crush Lu Qingshan’s Heaven Suppressing Secret Sword.

Lu Qingshan, do you realize that battle is about knowing your enemy as well as yourself?
