"You? So, you have also seen someone whose swordsmanship is as good as ours?"

Salvatore's eyes lit up, but he suddenly thought of his teacher, Saint Raphael, and was at a loss for a moment: Many times, what determines victory or defeat is not just the level of swordsmanship, although there are indeed people like Ling Wuji who are so skilled in swordsmanship that they can overwhelm other factors simply by using swordsmanship.

"Between you and me..."

Ling Wuji repeated the word with some contempt, but did not say anything more, and then said:

"In my opinion, the state of mind that your swordsmanship tends to favor should be 'nothingness' or 'emptiness'. What you pursue is to have no thoughts or ideas before drawing the sword, so as to achieve 'no move is better than a move'. Because 'nothingness' is the beginning of everything, it can derive endless changes. But that is to say, the supreme realm you pursue is based on the instincts of your body. Because you have emptied your mind, your sword will only move according to your instincts. I don't know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate that you did not fully control this realm before becoming a godslayer, nor did you accumulate enough experience. After becoming a godslayer, your overly powerful power, magic power, and body have become obstacles to your pursuit of the supreme realm of swordsmanship..."

"That's right!" The more the handsome Italian youth listened to the boy's words, the more ferocious his eyes became. He stared at the boy and said, "This is why I came to participate in this Holy Grail War, just to meet an opponent like you! Because only an opponent like you can allow me to accumulate enough experience! So! Lord Ling! Let's fight to our heart's content!"

PS: Although some Genshin Impact players may find it familiar, in fact, the so-called "Wuxiang Sword" is a setting in the original novel "God Killer". According to the description, it is similar to the Dugu Nine Swords in "Swordsman" that is better than any moves. This is not a coincidence, because the prototype of Luo Hao's character is most likely Dongfang Bubai, although more of it is the one in Tsui Hark's movie version. And to be honest, the origin of the creation of the character Dongfang Bubai and the breakup between Jin Yong and Tsui Hark because of the interpretation of this movie are actually a very exciting story.

Volume 2: Where is Penglai: Chapter : Sword Fighting ()

Ling Wuji was still unmoved when he heard him say that. He just said, "And I met a person. Perhaps I can't call her a person, but the state of mind she pursues is actually a bit similar to what you pursue, which is 'tranquility'. However, the foundation of her state of mind lies in 'spirit'. She pursues absolute stillness of mind and spirit before drawing the sword, but when she draws the sword, she does not obey the instinct of the body, but the direction of the sword's intention at that moment..."

Seeing that the young man was lost in thought, he shook his head and said bluntly, "This is something that only those who can imitate nature and create something out of nothing can do. Your swordsmanship has too many traces of artificiality. Now you have only glimpsed the basics. If you want to learn from this state of mind, I'm afraid you will be greatly disappointed."

Salvatore was not angry when he heard him say that. He was not the kind of person who would get angry because of such comments. He just asked curiously, "Your Excellency has a unique vision in swordsmanship, but I wonder what state of mind you pursue in your swordsmanship?"

"It's 'I'."

"I?"

“‘Match my own heart to the heart of Heaven, and use my own sword to be the sword of Heaven.’ Everything in the world that I can influence is based on me. This is the supreme realm that I pursue.” Ling Wu Ji said firmly.

Thinking of the young man's magnificent momentum and strict rules in directly destroying the order and then restoring it, Salvatore couldn't help but nod his head. For an ordinary magician, such words would be like bragging, but he has proved that he can really do it, at least he has a prototype. The more respectable and terrifying such an opponent is, the happier he feels, even if the opponent really wants to bury him in this Holy Grail War: "Tonight, I can fight with you. It is really a pleasure in my life. It should be made clear!"

But he still pointed the sword at Ling Wu Ji, because with the gap left by the opponent, he could take advantage of the situation to use his power. He didn't know whether the opponent had any countermeasures, but his arm turned into silver metal, and tremendous magic power was gathered on this sword. He no longer held back, but tried to add power to the mystery of the "Wuxiang Sword". He didn't care whether Ling Wu Ji could deal with this sword. If the opponent's swordsmanship was not yet mature and he died under this sword, then he might feel regretful, but it would only prove that the opponent was just that.

Ling Wuji just sneered.

Although Ling Wu Ji's path was completely different from Salvatore's, the Sword King needed to imprint his understanding of swordsmanship into his body's instincts through constant fighting, and his path did not require an opponent, but he still gave the Sword King a chance, a chance to use his full strength.

Because he needs time too.

He held up the flying sword in his hand, completely abandoning his previous approach of "destroying first and then establishing", and instead poured the Yin and Yang energies from the Tai Chi diagram that had been slowly rotating in front of him into this sword. He wanted to use the Yin and Yang energies to break the shackles of this world, sever all order, and shatter all constraints that were not to his will. At the same time, he would use the Yin and Yang energies to reshape the order of this world!

Siegfried, the great hero in myth, who was watching the two men's sword intent soaring into the sky and seeming to suppress the surroundings like low hanging clouds, could only feel the dragon blood in his body boiling hot. At this moment, he wished he could lift up his dragon-slaying weapon, Barumke, to participate in this duel. In his past life, after he completed the feat of slaying the dragon and bathed in dragon blood, those battles were just like homework. He had never met an equal opponent. He would respond to his Master's call only because he had been responding to other people's wishes during his lifetime. But at this moment, in his chest, an unprecedented willpower beat the war drum like a heavy hammer.

With such an opponent, why is there only one?

And they are not even followers.

Siegfried pressed his chest, as if that would calm his heart that was about to jump out of its chest.

At this moment, the two finally showed their strongest postures. Siegfried didn't even see clearly who started to move first. He just felt as if the world was created. The breath that created everything in the chaos swept the whole city in an instant. Siegfried even felt that the contract between him and his Master and the Holy Grail was about to be severed by something invisible. Not only him, but almost all the servants in the city, including the ruler, were looking in the direction of the two. The sword intent that could break anything swept across the whole city, like the edge of a bright ancient sword cutting through everyone's heart. He even saw that the magic power concentrated on his Master's silver arm was almost dissipated——

But his master immediately gritted his teeth and condensed even more magical power into his arms and sword, but he soon lost control of it, because under the new order, that magical power turned into a burden to him. As a last resort, he could only struggle to slash the ground with the sword in his hand. That huge magical power was immediately detonated by his power, and then split the city's terrain into two!

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

A huge crack extended under the feet of the two men.

Dust fell down.

Siegfried staggered and jumped to the side, then quickly looked at the young man whose swordsmanship was simply divine. Right now, the aura in his master's body was already chaotic, and he couldn't adjust it in a short period of time. Although as a great hero, he was quite dissatisfied with his master's actions that had caused harm to other residents in the city, but now was not the time to worry about those things. The young man was still here, and if he wanted to continue fighting, he would be his opponent!

But Ling Wu Ji was not feeling well at this time either.

He turned pale and muttered to himself: "'One yin and one yang is the way'?"

This sword is certainly extremely powerful, and may even be comparable to Ji Moyu's "Jedi Tiantong", but the price is also huge. He had previously raised the level of this sword at all costs, so there is very little true energy in his body, and even his Yin Shen is almost drained. At this moment, any third-rate servant would probably be able to defeat him, not to mention a servant like Siegfried.

So he secretly began to think about leaving.

But Ling Wuji was still Ling Wuji after all. He just glanced at Salvatore who had jumped aside and said, "It's a good idea to incorporate the reaction of power and magic into your swordsmanship instinct. Well, I'll give you another chance."

At this point, he sang with deep emotion: "It only takes half a day to travel the world, without riding a phoenix or a dragon. I occasionally played with the flying sword and destroyed the first peak of Zhongnan!"

Then it floated away on the wind.

Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 27: The Wilderness

Strictly speaking, Ling Wuji's exploration this time was a failure.

Because he had only seen that master and servant pair.

He didn't even actually go to find the location of the Thousand Worlds Tree Family, see the servants summoned by the other two God Slayers, and find out the actual situation of the other masters and servants of the Thousand Worlds Tree Family. Although from Ling Wuzhi's own point of view, he felt that those people were mostly insignificant. If he really wanted to resolve this Holy Grail War, then in essence, the people of the Thousand Worlds Tree Family were nothing more than cannon fodder.

But before he met the two God Slayers, he revealed his swordsmanship that was enough to sever the Servants' connection with the Holy Grail.

Although he felt that his current Liuhe swordsmanship was far inferior to Ji Moyu's "Jedi Tiantong", the other party would definitely be on guard against it. However, when he thought about it carefully, he had no idea where Ji Moyu was now, whether she was doing something in China, or whether she had any conflict with Luo Hao and Ying Zheng, which Wu Ji had no way of knowing. However, since he had already figured out the details of the most difficult master for him on the Thousand Worlds Tree side, next, it would depend on whether they could show their determination to fight each other and bury each other, who were also godslayers, on this battlefield.

If they can't take it out, Ling Wu Ji doesn't mind doing it himself.

The only question is whether to consider Liliana's suggestion.

However, he was already close to the end of his life. After barely using the "Liezi Wind Control Technique" to get out of Tufalis, neither his Yin Spirit nor his True Qi were enough to support him to go any further, so he fell into the wild, found an open place, and sat down on a grass spot without caring whether it was dirty or not. When he was a child, he followed Lu Wenyuan to practice in a Taoist temple in the mountains. Naturally, he was very familiar with this kind of state. He even felt a little refreshed when he looked at the North Star above his head, which had shifted a lot towards the center of the sky and seemed a little unfamiliar.

He had wanted to recover as quickly as possible during this night, but unexpectedly an uninvited guest came.

Ling Wuji immediately looked in the direction of the person coming with caution, but the other party's aura was extremely strange, like a Servant, but also like a human, and she had a deep connection with the Holy Grail, as if she had dozens of Command Spells on her body...

Of course, in reality, people who possess Command Seals can sense each other's existence through Command Seals.

It’s just that Ling Wuji didn’t observe it from that perspective.

Ling Wu Ji knew very well that although the so-called Command Seals could force servants to obey the will of their Master, they were essentially just the crystallization of magic power. If he was really in a hurry, although it might not be convenient to use, he could indeed convert the Command Seals into magic power for use. The same level of magic power would naturally have different effects in the hands of different people. For example, a magic weapon would have different meanings to an ordinary person and to a warrior.

So although he is on guard now, he does not feel that he has really reached the point of being at the end of his rope and needs to use the Command Spell to summon Ji Moyu.

Although in terms of cost-effectiveness, summoning Ji Moyu might be more cost-effective.

However, that person who was not sure whether he was a heroic spirit or a human soon appeared.

She was a blonde girl with long hair tied into a thick pigtail hanging behind her head. Although her facial features looked delicate and she exuded an aura of piety and purity, and her attire was strange, for example, the iron piece tied on her head was not sure whether it was a helmet, a mask, or just a decorative piece of iron, but she was still somewhat recognizable as a knight who had experienced many battles. But for some reason, Ling Wuji always felt that she was actually a country girl.

"Nice to meet you."

She said to the oriental boy with black hair and black eyes, as if the two of them had met in some ordinary place and greeted each other.

Ling Wuji really didn't know how to complain about the current situation, so he said: "Who are you?"

"Ruler, the judge and mediator of this Holy Grail War."

"The adjudicator?"

Ling Wuji looked her up and down suspiciously, thinking that with her spiritual power, even if she used up all the Command Spells on her body to release her Noble Phantasms, she might not be able to drag everyone down with her. However, he still said, "What is the ruling?"

"To adjudicate all cases beyond the scope of the Holy Grail."

"That's a lot."

Ling Wuji rolled his eyes, really unable to understand what her appearance meant.

Whether it was summoned by the restraining force or the Holy Grail, at least someone with a relatively extraordinary spiritual foundation should be chosen, right? If Martha is not possible, then Saint George can also be chosen. Of course, if Jesus himself is willing to respond to the summons, it is also possible. Although he thinks that if Jesus really appears, the people of the Holy Church will probably really go crazy, but that would also be interesting, isn't it?

But right now, this blonde girl, whose spiritual foundation is only at this level, is saying that she wants to be the judge of this Holy Grail War, isn't that a joke?

"Excuse me, what do you mean?"

The blonde girl looked innocent and just asked Ling Wuji questions.

"I just want to ask, can you handle those God Slayers? I won't say whether you can handle all of them, that's unrealistic, but just a single God Slayer, like the one that caused the earthquake, can you handle it?"

"But wasn't that earthquake caused by both of you?"

"So, you are here to be my enemy?"

Ling Wu Ji's tone suddenly turned cold, and he drew out the Tengkong Sword without any hesitation.

"I'll decide based on the situation, but for now, I think we can continue the conversation."

The blonde girl just said it in a serious tone.

"dialogue?"

Ling Wuji thought that she was probably trying to get information from him.

However, Ling Wuji didn't want to waste the Command Spell at this time, so he just dealt with it casually.

"Come to think of it, you are actually a Master, right? Why don't I see your Servant?"

She looked around and suddenly spoke again.

"There are many complicated details, but do you think I need a Servant's protection? Besides, I will not reveal any information about myself to someone who might become my enemy."

Ling Wuji seemed extremely impatient with her making small talk, so he said.

"So, Master of the Red Side, do you know why those God Slayers participated in this Holy Grail War?"

"From what you said, it seems that someone has told you the relevant information?"

"Well, a magician from the black side also came to me before I entered Tufalis and said that the God Slayer was the factor that disrupted this Holy Grail War." The girl nodded and said.

Ling Wuji pondered for a moment, then said, "The fundamental reason why the God Slayer participated in this Holy Grail War is actually because of me."

PS: There is only one chapter today, I can’t keep up

Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 28: Present World

Ling Wuji is not an honest and reliable young man.

Many times, he would choose to tell the truth to others, purely because telling the truth would not affect his ability to achieve his own intentions. He just wanted to see how others would react to his words. To put it bluntly, he just found it interesting.

And the blonde girl - Joan of Arc, the savior of France, when she heard what Ling Wuji said, she immediately displayed her treasure, the Sword of Saint Catherine, with caution and hurriedly took a few steps back. Although her inherent skill "Revelation" had never guided her again after the death of a ruler of the previous generation, and now she was just walking on this earth in a daze, but if the young man in front of her was the fuse of everything, then she must ask him clearly what his intentions were.

Ling Wuji did not hide anything.

Anyway, the godslayers themselves know it clearly.

When Zhende heard Ling Wuji say this, she immediately questioned him: "If you want to conduct a trial, it should be the trial of the Last King. How can you provoke these people without authorization?"

"Of course, perhaps the most fundamental reason is that I don't have the confidence to defeat the Last King," Ling Wuji said without hesitation. He was not arrogant enough to think that he could defeat the legendary Strongest Steel that could wipe out all the God Slayers on earth. Even though he had already mastered the Six Combinations Sword Technique, he was only barely better than the Sword King. "But I had already made my intention clear to them, but they still chose to step into this battlefield, which proved that they were mentally prepared to be buried here."

“Even if it may involve countless secular people?” The Saint pointed her sword at the city behind her and questioned Ling Wuji, saying, “Even if it will cause countless people to be hurt or even lose their lives like now?”

"I don't deny the possibility, but you are a heroic spirit, right?"

In response to her questioning, Ling Wuji simply changed the subject.

"It is precisely because I am a heroic spirit that I want to stop you!"

"No, that's not what I meant," Ling Wuji shook his head and said, "What I meant is that you are heroic spirits, just shadows of the past, figures from a bygone era. Although I know that many people hope that a certain dead figure in history will stand up again and lead the world to overthrow the existing order, some people have also used that person's words to say, 'You don't have to miss me all the time, and don't expect me to come back. After I leave, you will be me.' Therefore, the people in this world who have inherited his ideas are the ones who can decide how the world will develop."
