Chapter 277 Zhao Duan: I have a sword, the sky is opened!
Chapter 277 Zhao Duan: I have a sword that can open the sky! ( words long chapter)
In the arena.
As Zhao Duan imitated Chai Keqiao, his body as light as a leaf, the fight on the field became weird.
The three-eyed monk's legs were rooted like old pine trees, and he stayed outside the attack radius of the Taia sword.
With his knees slightly bent and his waist exerted strength, he wielded the six-strike stick in his hand, which was as thick as a sword handle at one end but as thick as a bowl at the other, with great vigor.
In an instant, the sky was filled with the afterimages of illusory long sticks, but Zhao Duan was so light and fluttery, as if he had no weight at all, and he dodged them perfectly.
No... this is not dodging, but going with the flow... As soon as my weapon gets close to him, the disturbed airflow will blow him away... Tianhai, who has an ordinary face, was surprised.
For no reason, he recalled the time when he was a child, when he was bored and sat under a big tree in the temple, raising his hands to catch fallen leaves, but he could not catch them no matter what he did.
Tianhai didn't know what kind of body movement this was, but he knew that if he continued to delay like this, he would be the one who would suffer the most.
"Hide? Where are you going to hide?"
He shouted coldly and suddenly took a deep breath.
The smooth muscle lines on the exposed arms swelled up like air.
In an instant, the number of stick shadows in the sky doubled!
Even fallen leaves cannot escape the thousands of Buddha's hands coming from all directions.
What's more, Zhao Duan's seemingly mysterious body movements are ultimately not as light as the real autumn leaves.
With the little monk's angry shout, his offensive increased greatly, and his rhythm was forced to be interrupted. He became more and more exhausted, and was finally accidentally hit by the Six-Path Stick.
"clang!"
However, the expected scene of broken bones and tendons did not happen.
The moment the long stick hit his body, a ray of light suddenly flashed on Zhao Duan's exposed body.
The glow was like fire, seemingly burning, and it instantly flowed through the whole body, condensing into protective qi.
This was the first nameless magic trick he learned from Old Xu.
After being promoted to the God Chapter, it also improved greatly. It is much more powerful than the Gang Qi composed of Qi alone.
——Considering the rules of the arena, he did not bring the "Six Talismans Armor".
As expected, the six sticks swept Zhao Duan back to reality from the "fallen leaf" state.
Zhao Duan simply tapped the ground lightly with his boots, leaving two slight scratches before he stood firm again.
A blush rose on her face and then faded away, and the stone slab under her feet cracked like a spider web with a "crack" and spread in all directions.
He actually relied on his internal strength to transmit the terrifying recoil force to the earth.
"Master Zhao's body movement has been broken!"
"What a vicious monk!"
in the crowd.
Haitang hugged her shoulders and stared at the screen with an anxious look:
"Can he do it? Doesn't the Taizu sword in his hand look good? Kill that bald donkey."
As a sword expert, Zhang Han shook his head and said in a deep voice:
“It goes without saying that the Tai’a Sword is powerful, but the problem is that Zhao Du’an has just entered the Divine Chapter and this is his first time touching the sword, so he can’t even exert one thousandth of the sword’s power.
On the other hand, although Tian Hai was not able to truly control the Six Paths Staff, he could flex it at will, as if he were using his arm, which was a manifestation of his mastery of the weapon. The same weapon, after being used for a long time, has a very different power when it is unfamiliar to the monk. "
In the stands, two masters, Eunuch Hai and Xue Shence, also saw the drawbacks.
He realized that the greatest use of the Taia Sword in Zhao Duan's hands was to raise his cultivation level to a level that would rival Tianhai's.
But it is not enough to crush the opponent with weapons alone.
"Lord Zhao should also understand this. Therefore, although he seems to be dodging and defending, he is actually consuming Tianhai's mana. He has already lost some strength after fighting with Jin Jian. This is a good tactic..."
Xue Shence made sharp analysis and acted as commentator.
The civil servants around who were confused suddenly realized what was going on and thought that Lord Zhao was indeed a sinister person who had ulterior motives even in a fight.
Eunuch Hai has been keeping an eye on the battle situation, and suddenly said:
"The young monk has seen through it. Look, he has changed his approach."
……
On the stage.
The young monk Tianhai knocked Zhao Duan away with one stick, but did not continue to attack from a distance. Instead, he twisted his wrist, and the six sticks covered with Sanskrit characters expanded and contracted, returning to their original shape, and then threw them away.
Then, he bent his knees, jumped up suddenly like pulling up onions in dry land, and kicked the end of the six-path stick hard with his right leg.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the six-path stick became like a slender missile filled with power.
The tremendous magic power poured into the weapon, and the brass metal weapon instantly became scorching hot, evaporating the humid air into white vapor.
Then, six sticks fell from the sky at a terrifying speed in the blink of an eye.
At the end of the coccyx, a thin white line is burned when it rubs against the air.
Danger! !
At this moment, Zhao Duan felt a strong sense of crisis.
In a hurry, within the Qi Sea, the Qi that had expanded into an illusory "ocean" after being promoted to the Divine Chapter began to rotate in circles, releasing powerful kinetic energy through the intake and exhalation of the Dragon Soul.
It was as if a burning engine was generating power, gathering all the energy and blood in the body towards the lower back, forcibly pushing the body to move.
It appeared that Zhao Duan's belly was pushed down by a force out of thin air, avoiding the six sticks falling from the sky.
"boom!"
The end of the hexagonal stick poked into the ground, sinking halfway into it.
Zhao Duan came back to his senses and looked up suddenly, only to see Monk Tianhai following closely behind him like a meteorite, his fists beating like drums and like a mountain pressing down on his head.
This is the real killer move!
After giving up the long-range attack, Tianhai chose to fight in close combat.
——As long as you are close enough, the long sword cannot be used!
However, Zhao Duan seemed to have anticipated this. He suddenly thrust out his arm holding the Taia sword behind his back and chopped him down on the head!
The slender hilt of the sword, painted with black and red patterns, chopped down silently, but the dissipated sword energy made Tianhai feel a sharp pain in his eyebrows.
It seems to be about to split.
The young monk Tianhai did not dodge or evade, his eyes suddenly became calm. When he fell in mid-air, he clasped his hands together and raised them high above his head.
"Buddhism's Golden Bell!"
Buzz. The pale golden ancient bell-shaped gas shield suddenly expanded, rotated half a circle around him, and blocked the Taia sword outside.
"Chichi-"
The dense and scattered sword energy shattered when it hit the golden bell, splashing up a misty light.
The Taia sword was blocked for a moment, and then there was a "click" sound.
The Golden Bell Cover, which had withstood Jin Jian's full-strength magic in the previous battle without being broken, suddenly developed a crack as thick as a finger at the tip of the sword, which spread like a spider web.
The next second, it shattered into countless pieces.
Tianhai's face changed slightly, but he didn't dodge or retreat.
Instead, with a thought, the six sticks rooted in the ground beside him pulled themselves up and flew over, and with a "clang" sound, they barely blocked the Taia sword's killing intent.
"What a powerful weapon..."
There was a flash of heat and greed in the eyes of countless warriors present, especially those who practiced swordsmanship, for it was even more difficult to curb the greed in their hearts.
Under the premise that Zhao Duan is unable to drive the real power, relying only on the sharpness and hardness of the Taia Sword itself, he can break the Buddhist Golden Bell Cover...
The power of the artifact can be seen from this.
"It is said that six hundred years ago, Emperor Taizu once held the Tai'a sword and cut off half of Wushan Mountain with one sword. Although the rumor is exaggerated, I am afraid it is not far off the mark."
The scheming little princess Xu Junling was stunned.
Suddenly I began to understand why some of the "Eight Kings" had different ideas about the throne.
Not to mention the throne and power, the foundation of the Xu Dynasty itself is already terrifyingly strong.
Anyone who can ascend the throne and become emperor and wear the yellow robe, even if his cultivation is inferior to that of the imperial sister, can rely on the emperor's dragon energy and control the magic weapon to become one of the strongest people in the world.
She couldn't help but think that Zhao Duan alone with a sword could defeat Tianhai.
So what kind of charm was the emperor's sister, who was the third princess at the time, during the Xuanmen coup?
And just as he was distracted, the situation on the battlefield changed again.
Tianhai used the Six Paths Stick to block Tai'a's sharp edge. A gleam of brilliance flashed across his eyes, and without any warning, he slapped out with a palm!
"Buddhist Vajra Palm!"
Outside the hood, the fat on Gongshu Tianyuan's face trembled, "Brother Zhao is in danger."
However, what was unexpected was that Zhao Duan showed no sign of panic. Almost at the same time, the five fingers of the hand that was not holding the sword opened and pressed towards Tianhai.
At this moment, the dark clouds above the arena seemed to be disturbed, and an autumn rain fell.
In the God of War Picture, Lao Xu once used one palm to "hang the galaxy upside down", causing the stars in the sky to fall and the darkness to retreat.
With the help of Taia sword, Zhao Duan could barely shake the clouds.
In full view of everyone, the two men suddenly slapped each other.
First there was silence, and then a violent torrent of water burst out in all directions with the palms of the two people as the center.
Zhao Duan and Tian Hai felt the strong wind blowing on their faces at the same time. The former's hair was blown into disarray and flew backwards, while the yellow silk ribbon on the latter's head fluttered like a flag.
The two men seemed to have swallowed a large breath of air, their cheeks bulged, and their bodies retreated backwards almost at the same time, and their weapons separated.
This time, Zhao Duan used the "Falling Leaf Body Technique" again, floating about a few feet away and landing steadily.
The moment he landed, the hem of his robe shattered with a "snap" sound, the broken corners of his clothes fluttered away, and even the light shield behind him shook violently several times.
"Dengdengdeng..."
Tianhai stepped on the ground continuously and retreated more than ten feet before he stabilized his body. On the ground in front of him, a series of footprints that were sunken into the ground were left.
The cold autumn rain passed through the shield that only weakened and blocked the magic power and energy without any hindrance, and drenched the two people who were confronting each other in the field equally.
……
off the field.
The people watching the fight stared at the stage, attracted by the violent fight that just happened. They finally tried to breathe again after holding their breath.
"call……"
Eugene Hua held onto the railing, her hands unconsciously exerting force, pinching her daughter who grimaced, but the woman still found it difficult to calm the tension in her heart.
God knows, she was almost frightened to the point of screaming out, luckily Zhao Pan pinched her thigh hard in time, so she did not lose her composure in public.
The civil servants, led by the "female prime minister" Mo Chou, even skipped a beat.
It was as if they were the ones standing on the stage and had just experienced a thrilling fight.
"It seems that Envoy Zhao has gradually adapted." The Minister of Rites asked tentatively.
Xue Shence nodded, and the military god of Dayu was also full of surprise.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Duan's martial arts foundation was much stronger than expected.
next to.
Ma Yan was not surprised.
Only he knew best how many times Zhao Duan had sought sparring partners from the detectives in the past two months, and his so-called shortcomings in fighting experience had been made up for a lot.
What's more, Monk Tianhai had fought hard with Jin Jian before, and his style and skills were fully exposed, but Zhao Duan was still mysterious.
He was about to explain a few words when he suddenly let out a light exclamation.
On the ring, under the feet of Tianhai who was leaning on a six-path stick, the rain soaked the ground and suddenly condensed into white frost.
Waves of cold air were released silently from around him.
Cold mist emanated from the sunken footprints on the ground.
"Crack, click, click..."
People were surprised to see that the cold rain on Tianhai's feet suddenly condensed into ice and rose rapidly, along his legs, and in a breath, it had climbed up to his waist, lower abdomen, chest, and neck...
Finally, his face became numb and a thin layer of ice covered most of his face.
The little monk's face turned ashen, his eyes fixed on Zhao Duan who was smiling not far away. Suddenly he spat out a small mouthful of blood. There was even a trace of ice in the bright red blood!
"You...just now..."
Tianhai's eyes widened and his voice was interrupted.
Zhao Duan held the Taia sword in his right hand, with the tip of the sword tilted downward. His left hand was behind his waist, and he clenched his fist tightly. Drops of blood flowed out from the palm of his fist and fell...
Obviously, both of them suffered internal injuries in the previous fight.
However, Tianhai's injuries were obviously more serious.
"That's right. You don't think that the palm I just used is only as simple as it seems on the surface." Zhao Duan said with a smile.
He really wanted to go up and finish off the enemy immediately instead of wasting time talking.
But the surging energy and blood in his body made him give up this somewhat rash action.
At the beginning, Old Xu took him into the snowfield outside the Mubei Forest and taught him the "Cloud Swallowing and Breathing Method".
Zhao Duan's learning was average and he felt that its power was limited, but he did learn how to transform the Qi in his body into Frost Qi.
When they were fighting just now, he took the opportunity to send streams of frost into the little monk's body. The two martial arts were superimposed, and the effect was doubled.
“……” Tianhai was silent for a moment, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
He lowered his head, raised his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and said:
"It looks like you took advantage of me."
Stop talking like that, I'm only interested in women... Zhao Duan stalled for time while suppressing his injuries:
"Haha, why don't you admit defeat and save us from fighting again." Admit defeat? Just you?
Tianhai sneered, still lowering his head, leaning on the six-way stick with his left hand, clearing his throat twice, and then laughed:
"Do you think you can beat me like this? Or do you think that after seeing my fight with Jin Jian, I have no more cards to hide?"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand, reached behind his head, grasped the yellow silk ribbon wrapped around his forehead, slowly raised his head, his eyes cold:
"Didn't you say you wanted to see my third eye? Today, I will grant your wish."
After a pause, the little monk suddenly grinned and smiled:
"However, once the Eye of Mercy is activated, I cannot completely control it. If you don't retreat, I cannot guarantee that I can stop you."
"Is this a threat?"
Zhao Duan narrowed his eyes, clenched the hilt of his sword, and said:
"What a coincidence. I never accept threats. Besides, if the Taia sword in my hand kills someone, I won't be able to hold back."
Tianhai seemed to be irritated and did not believe Zhao Duan's warning. He no longer hesitated and pulled off the yellow silk ribbon with force!
In an instant, a strange, tightly closed vertical eye in the center of the little monk's forehead was exposed to everyone's eyes.
wow——
There were continuous exclamations from the crowd, but they were not out of fear, but curiosity.
People in Beijing had long heard of Tianhai’s vertical pupils, and now that they finally got to see what they had wished for, how could they not be excited?
On the Shenlong Temple stand, Bian Ji's face changed, thinking to himself, "This is terrible!"
"Trouble, trouble."
He quietly moved closer to the ring, ready to strike at any time and rescue the person by force.
——Only a few people in Shenlong Temple know that the reason why Tianhai has a bad temper and kills people at will is not entirely because of his true nature.
But when he opens his "vertical pupil", his whole personality will change drastically.
What comes with it is the power contained in the vertical pupils, which comes from the god "Ksitigarbha", and is comparable to the full-strength attack of the "worldly realm".
Every time he used the vertical pupil, his personality became more extreme, so even when he was fighting with Jin Jian, he tried his best not to open it.
But at this moment, the little monk was irritated.
The "seal" is lifted.
On the stage, Zhao Duan, who was isolated from the noise outside, felt that he was being targeted in an instant.
I feel powerless and realize that no matter how I try to dodge or resist, it is all useless.
In his field of vision, as the silk cloth fell off, the third vertical pupil began to move and tremble on its own, and then suddenly opened!
Revealing a vertical pupil of faint emerald green color, as cold as a god!
"boom--"
The next second, without any warning, a thumb-thick, pure golden Buddha light shot out from the vertical pupil and condensed straight into a beam of strong light.
Before Zhao Duan could even react, he was hit right in the chest!
With a loud bang, the clothes on Zhao Duan's chest shattered in an instant, turning into ashes. The thick layer of rosy energy on his skin was pierced through, leaving a steaming hole, with his skin and flesh torn apart!
pain!
Zhao Duan felt a surge of pain and his straight body staggered backward.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep. It just burned through the surface of the skin and did not go deeper. It was quickly and madly repaired by the melted rays of light, and the protective qi shield was stabilized again.
However, with just this one blow, a large amount of the energy in his Dantian was consumed.
"Come again!"
Tianhai was as cold and indifferent as a god, and a second beam of Buddha's light shot out from his vertical pupils!
"clang!"
This time, it was blocked by the Taia Sword!
The terrifying Buddha's light hit the sword, causing only a circle of ripples, while the sword was not damaged at all.
However, the resulting recoil force still forced Zhao Duan to step back several steps before he could barely steady himself.
Tianhai stood still, and at this moment, he seemed to have lost his "expression" and became a mechanical god without emotions.
Calmly said, "Come again."
This time, the Buddha's light shot out instantly, and Zhao Duan once again blocked most of it with Tai'a. His body also retreated again and again, almost to the edge of the ring.
However, there was still some scattered Buddha's light, which penetrated the aura in his body, accompanied by a hissing sound.
The energy in his sea of qi, which had already been consumed by the intense fight, dropped drastically again.
He silently calculated that he could only block one more beam of Buddha's light before he would lose the ability to fight again!
……
"Master Zhao!"
In the stands, the court officials were shocked. They didn't expect that the situation would be reversed in the blink of an eye and the little monk's third eye was so powerful.
Even if the power of the "worldly" realm within was dispersed into beams of Buddha's light and shot out in batches, it would be enough to defeat Zhao Duan!
"Is this Tianhai's trump card? How can he bring..."
Xue Shence's face changed slightly, and he clearly felt that the power contained in that vertical pupil was not the power of the "Shen Zhang" realm at all.
"The world! That vertical pupil contains the power of the world realm!"
Ma Yan blurted out, his face turned extremely ugly.
The worldly realm... Mo Zhaorong and Xu Junling's faces also changed. They didn't understand cultivation, but that didn't mean they didn't understand what it meant.
"Admit defeat!"
Eunuch Hai's eyelids twitched wildly, and he whispered these two words through secret telepathy, forcibly typing them into Zhao Duan's ears through the air.
"Da Lang!" In the ladies' area, Eugene Hua finally lost her composure and spoke, standing up and letting out a whine.
Zhao Pan beside him also gritted her teeth. She didn't understand cultivation, but she could see that the situation on the field was one-sided!
All of a sudden.
Countless eyes were cast around the arena, looking at the little monk who was judging like a god.
Then we saw the embarrassed "Zhao Yanwang" who was trying his best to hold on, almost half-kneeling, and had been forced back to the edge of the ring. The winner was immediately apparent!
……
Deep inside the Tianshi Mansion.
Xu Zhenguan saw this scene, suddenly stood up, and looked at the old Taoist priest. The empress looked worried and said quickly:
"Please ask the Heavenly Master to stop this battle."
As the emperor of Dayu, she could not show up rashly and intervene forcibly.
But at this moment, Zhang Yanyi, as a neutral party, can.
However, the old Taoist priest glanced at the embarrassed Zhao in the light curtain and said:
"Your Majesty, please be patient and just wait and see."
"Tianshi, I..."
Zhang Yanyi smiled, with strong confidence in his tone:
"Your Majesty, don't you trust me? Don't worry. If this kid Zhao gets into trouble outside my Heavenly Master's Mansion, I will simply take off the title of 'Heavenly Master'."
"……this."
Xu Zhenguan calmed down and finally sat down. However, when he looked at the water curtain again, he was stunned because Zhao Duan closed his eyes again.
……
"Old Xu, you said you would give me this sword?" In the inn in the small town under the green mountains.
The light of the setting sun shone in through the open windows, accompanied by the breeze from the East China Sea.
Zhao Duan held the Tai'a sword with a strange expression:
"Stop joking, don't think I'm ignorant. The Tai'a Sword is clearly the sword you carried with you after you ascended the throne. It's an incredible divine weapon.
Well... although the background is definitely not as good as the heavenly book in the Tianshi Mansion, it is not something I can take.
Besides, that is something that represents your Xu Dynasty, like the imperial seal, how can you just give it to anyone? You are just deceiving me."
He was not sure whether Old Xu in front of him could understand his complaints.
But he was basically certain that what was recorded in "The Picture of the God of War" was a modified version of a documentary, which was something that Taizu of Dayu had come up with when he was old and looking back on his first half of his life.
Therefore, there are various logical bugs in it. For example, when in the desert and snowfield, Old Xu Qiang was so terrifying, which actually corresponds to the later years of Emperor Taizu.
But when they arrived in the East China Sea and stepped onto the Qingshan Mountains, the old Xu in front of him fell back to his true martial arts level when he was young.
As for the "Tai'a Sword" in his hand, which should not have appeared in this period of time and space, it is even more of a product of a logical bug.
"Hehe, you can't take it now, but if you can get its recognition outside, or inherit my dragon soul, you can take it."
Old Xu said calmly.
“No…did you say this only to me, or did you say it to everyone who enters the Martial God Map…” Zhao Duan complained weakly.
He was a little panicked.
Because he indeed inherited Old Xu's dragon soul, and also inherited the half-step martial god status that he had gained throughout his life.
Old Xu ignored him, stood up from the tub, dried himself, put on his clothes, and said:
"follow me."
"Where to go..."
"Take you to see the sea."
Zhao Duan was stunned. Then he remembered that when they were in the snowy plain, Old Xu had said that he would take him to watch it.
But after arriving in the town, he never left.
So… is it because I’m finally going to finish “Wushentu”? Something like the end-game plot?
Zhao Duan was lost in thought, holding the Taia sword, and followed Lao Xu. The two of them left the inn and walked towards the green mountains against the sunset.
On the way, Zhao Duan looked around at the scenery and discussed with him:
"Well... if you really agree to give me the sword, it's not impossible... but it is indeed difficult. The descendants of your Xu family will definitely not agree to give the treasure to an outsider like me, right?"
"So, I have a small suggestion. If I become the son-in-law of your Xu family, will we be considered a family and in accordance with the rules? In this way, your promise can be fulfilled, and then your descendants of the Xu family should be able to accept it even if they hold their noses..."
Zhao Duan kept muttering to himself all the way, but Old Xu ignored him.
"Hey, Old Xu, have you noticed why the sun doesn't set?" Zhao Duan finally felt something was wrong.
The world seemed to have stopped at this moment, and the sunset was forever frozen in the scene hanging on the horizon.
The people in the town also disappeared.
But when Old Xu took him to climb up the Qingshan Mountain, he found that there were no living creatures on the mountain.
The whole world was silent, like a puppet show that had suddenly stopped.
Only two men, one big and one small, were left. After struggling for an unknown amount of time, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
We arrived at a cliff on the top of the mountain.
There was no one on the cliff, behind it was the golden sunset, and in front of it was the endless East China Sea.
Zhao Duan sat on the ground exhausted, holding his sword, panting, feeling the sea breeze, like a dog with its tongue hanging out:
"Well, it's a vast ocean. I saw it. Then what?"
Zhao Duan is emotionally stable. Unlike the people in this world, he had not only seen the sea in his previous life, but also ridden on an airplane and flew into the sky... So, he lacks some shock.
I am more concerned about what Lao Xu is up to.
Beside him, the burly Dayu Taizu, with messy hair and beard, was looking at the East China Sea, and the sea breeze blew his wild black hair.
Slapping on the shoulder.
Old Xu looked at the endless sea with a vicissitudes of life and said loudly:
"I will teach you a sword technique. I will only demonstrate it once."
Zhao Duan quickly pulled himself together, stood up, and presented the Taia Sword with both hands.
Old Xu grabbed Tai'a with his big hand, without any master's demeanor or gesture of gathering strength, and just said casually:
"Look, learn as much as you can."
After a pause, he slowly uttered the name of the sword technique:
"Open the sky."
The next second, Old Xu slashed towards the vast East China Sea with his sword. All the dust and sweat from traveling thousands of miles in the world were integrated into this sword.
Silently, the sea separated to both sides with the sword pointing as the center, and billions of tons of sea water rose high to both sides and condensed into towering city walls.
The seabed is exposed like a line of sky.
One sword opens the sky, one sword cuts the sea.
Zhao Duan stood with the sun behind him, staring blankly at the scene.
When he came back to his senses from a trance, he saw Lao Xu beside him smiling at him, his lips moved as if he said something, and then the whole person disappeared like a bubble.
On the cliff of Qingshan, only Zhao Duan was left, holding a sword in his hand.
……
In the arena.
Zhao Duan opened his eyes and looked into the distance. His feet were floating off the ground, and his hands were clasped together, looking like the little monk Tianhai, the god Ksitigarbha.
Between Tianhai's eyebrows, Buddha's light once again gathered in his vertical pupils like lightning and nectar, and it seemed that it would shoot out in the next second.
however……
Zhao Duan just calmly handed over the Taia Sword.
His lips moved and he spoke slowly:
"Open the sky!"
