Chapter 248 Feng's Sword Moves: Jieshuang's Sword
After Ning Xingyi finished speaking, he burst into laughter to himself, leaving Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang looking at each other in bewilderment.
To be honest, although Ning Xingyi and Feng only exchanged two moves, it really gave them an eye-opening feeling.
Yu Cang had never heard of the "sword intent" that was injected into the fallen leaves before.
Just picking up a fallen leaf can directly inject rhythm into it, making it an exclusive "soul card". Even the Starry Sky Vision cannot make Ning Xingyi forget it... This "sword intent" was truly engraved deep in Ning Xingyi's heart.
For him, everything in the world can become a sword in his hands, making him worthy of the title of Sword Saint.
This method, in terms of its form of expression, is even very similar to his entry recorder, and is even stronger in some aspects... However, Ning Xingyi should only be able to use this one strand of "sword intent". In terms of versatility, it is definitely not as good as the entry recorder.
Even Yu Cang is not sure that he can master this incredible skill.
But even so, it is already strong enough, and such a Ning Xingyi actually lost to Feng... In terms of strength, Ning Xingyi is already the strongest in the world. Is there anyone stronger than him, a legend?
Yu Cang clicked his tongue.
Feng is a legend, and it is indeed quite awkward for him to be here... In the short term, he can't expect to display his full strength.
Gu Jieshuang even stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Sword Intention?
Feng and Ning Xingyi were fighting, and this opportunity was very precious. Naturally, she used her star-level perception to observe the whole process.
It’s a pity that this time, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t enter the state where she could see the trajectory of light clearly.
But if you just slow down your vision a little, you won't be able to understand the moves of both sides at all.
In front of him, Ning Xingyi's laughter gradually calmed down. Yu Cang looked over and saw that Ning Xingyi even had tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Xiao Cang, thank you so much." Ning Xingyi said sincerely, "And... please thank Senior Feng for me. Your swordsmanship is truly unique to me. I have benefited greatly from these two moves!"
"Okay." Yu Cang agreed, and was suddenly stunned.
He looked up at the sky, and after a moment, he said, "Senior, Feng said... remember, you are a swordsman."
"Swordsman?... I see." Ning Xingyi nodded seriously, and then a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes, "Xiao Cang, that place just now... is it called Xingtian Vision? What kind of place is that? It's so magical?"
At this moment, he finally realized that he seemed to have entered an extraordinary place just now?
What meets the eye is the undisguised rhythm... Such a place is enough to drive all card makers crazy!
Even his "sword intent" which had always been invisible and intangible took shape there!
It was because he was too obsessed with the fight with Feng just now that he didn't react to the awesomeness of that space.
"Yes, I named it Starry Sky Vision." Yu Cang nodded.
He had given this place this name when he first discovered it, but now he found that... it seemed that this naming had been written into some kind of rule. Even the princess, a visitor from the star realm who had just awakened in the capital of Gods, still called the place "Starry Sky Vision" when she was learning the language of Yan through rhythm.
"From what I hear, this Starry Sky Vision is where you discovered it?"
"Yes," Yu Cang explained, "In the beginning, I proposed the Starry Sky Vision as a new resonance method, but with continuous exploration, we discovered more possibilities within the Starry Sky Vision."
"The new resonance method... Tsk." Ning Xingyi couldn't help but admire, "The synchronization and star rank system are already astonishing enough... but I didn't expect that what you've hidden is even more shocking... This must be the things that the notice alludes to, things that cannot be made public."
"Not really." Yu Cang smiled modestly, "We will definitely make Starry Sky Vision public at the right time."
It was still early, but after the princess appeared... with the spiritual particle flow technology, the study and exploration of the Star Sky Vision will become safer. Perhaps, in the near future, we can initially screen the second wave of learners across the country.
"In that case..." Ning Xingyi thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Cang, I seem to have remembered the feeling of entering the Xingtian Vision Zone... If it's not the time to make it public yet, then I should find a way to forget him..."
Although he didn't pay attention just now, Ning Xingyi still subconsciously mastered the method of entering the Starry Sky Vision Area.
Now, even without the help of the passage to the other world, even if no one is watching, he can enter and exit the Starry Sky Vision Area at will to a certain extent.
There's nothing you can do about it...his brain learned it automatically without him even thinking about it.
If it were someone else, he would definitely not be so polite, but since it was Yu Cang's thing, he would definitely ask this question.
"For Senior Ning, there definitely aren't that many restrictions." Yu Cang said with a smile, "The requirements for the Starry Sky Vision are very high. I'm so happy that Senior has mastered it."
"Is that so... That's good." Ning Xingyi nodded, and then, as if he had thought of something, he turned to look at Gu Jieshuang who was still thinking, "Xiaoshuang, did you learn anything from those two exchanges just now?"
Originally, for Yu Cang's sake, he planned to give Gu Jieshuang some advice, but now... Yu Cang no longer only has face in his eyes, but also favors!
After exchanging those two moves with Feng, he felt that the bottleneck in his cultivation that had troubled him for years had shown signs of loosening, giving him the possibility to make further progress. Such a favor was simply a huge favor.
You know, if he takes one more step forward... he might very well become a legend!
Therefore, he planned to give Gu Jieshuang some good guidance - although he had no experience in teaching others.
After all, his most proficient "sword intent" was something he comprehended purely through his intuition, and he had no idea how to let others learn it.
If he understood, he would have many students all over the world now.
But no matter what, because of Xiao Cang, I have to pay more attention to Gu Jieshuang - even if I don't teach her well, Feng will definitely help her later.
Gu Jieshuang raised her head when she heard this.
"I... I didn't see it clearly... No, I... I don't know either." Gu Jieshuang was confused.
Connecting to the Star Level will give it observation abilities far beyond those of ordinary people, but this cannot make up for her shortcomings in comprehension.
Just like Ning Xingyi's "sword intent", even if she saw it clearly, she would definitely not understand it, not to mention that she hasn't seen it clearly yet.
But Feng's two knife strikes... She saw them clearly. The trajectory of the two strikes was actually very simple, but she still didn't understand.
"It's okay, come on." Ning Xingyi returned to his smiling state, reached out, and casually grabbed a branch from the roadside. "Use as much as you have learned. Let me see how good your understanding is."
“…Okay.” Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath.
She knew that not everyone was qualified to fight Senior Ning. She was relying on her boss' influence, so she had to give it her all in this fight... On the other hand, she couldn't embarrass her boss either!
She summoned the Frost White Sword, and then several green halos emerged, and the Ice Heart Sword was synchronized.
Ning Xingyi's eyes lit up: "Is this Xiao Cang's 'synchronization'...it's really exquisite!"
"Then, Senior Ning, I'm going to go out now..." Gu Jieshuang stopped, holding the Bingxin Sword, his eyes fixed on Ning Xingyi.
She stopped again mid-sentence.
No, how should I strike this sword...
In the fight just now, Feng used two swords, and Senior Ning used a sword intent... However, no matter which move they used, he didn't understand it at all.
She was also a swordsman, and forcing her to use a sword move that she had no idea about was even more painful than killing her.
After making a start, she had to think about how to change her moves and how to exert force, but she silently deduced in her heart that no matter how she changed, as long as she passed the starting posture, she would be completely different from the correct path!
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't imitate Feng's two sword strikes, nor could he imitate Ning Xingyi's sword intent, even if the form was similar!
For a moment, she only felt that there was nothingness in front of the tip of her sword, as if there was no future, and all trajectories would eventually fall into an abyss with no end in sight.
A huge confusion enveloped her in an instant, and layers of fine sweat began to seep out of Gu Jieshuang's forehead, but quickly turned into ice chips under the influence of the cold air around her.
"Ha ha……"
Her breathing became heavier, and the hot air she exhaled into the air quickly condensed into a cloud of icy mist.
Seeing Gu Jieshuang looking like she had no idea what to do, Ning Xingyi's eyes lit up.
If she rushed forward without thinking, it meant that she either had not learned anything or had no respect for kendo.
But Gu Jieshuang's reaction now just proved that she had indeed seen something and had indeed poured all her mind into the next sword strike. That was why she was hesitant and hesitant to draw her sword like this.
She touched the threshold! This is so rare!
Thinking of this, Ning Xingyi smiled, and then he took a step forward gently.
tread!
After taking this step, Gu Jieshuang suddenly felt that there was an extra road in the void before him!
Although this road is crooked and does not look smooth, it does allow her to pass through it... So, should I draw my sword?
And the end of this road is Ning Xingyi.
Ning Xingyi looked at Gu Jieshuang with anticipation in his eyes.
This step revealed a flaw. Perhaps this flaw was not obvious to others, but Gu Jieshuang was a swordsman, and judging from her understanding just now, she would definitely be able to detect it.
This flaw served as a guide. Gu Jieshuang had already been immersed in the previous exchange of moves, and this flaw happened to be on the path between the two moves. As long as Gu Jieshuang struck the sword at this flaw, all the hesitation, thinking and understanding from before would automatically help Gu Jieshuang complete the sword.
Come on, then, swing the sword!
Ning Xingyi's eyes were full of anticipation.
However, facing the sword that was about to strike, Gu Jieshuang's sword tip trembled, and the cold sweat on his forehead became even more severe, but he still did not move.
Ning Xingyi raised his brows.
Isn’t this enough?
He's a bit greedy... He hasn't figured out Feng's sword yet. If you want to do better, he won't be able to guide you.
Being too ambitious is not a good thing...wait.
Ning Xingyi's eyes narrowed.
Gu Jieshuang on the opposite side drew his sword!
I saw that her eyes were flashing with connected starlight, as if forming an endless passage leading to the depths of the starry sky, and the starting point of this passage was the long sword in her hand!
When the sword was thrown, a hint of surprise immediately appeared in Ning Xingyi's eyes.
Gu Jieshuang's sword did not follow the path he had given him at all... and wasn't this opening move exactly the same sword that Feng had used in the present world just now?
Exactly the same!
How could this be... Feng just made two sword moves, but the first one was interrupted by his own sword intent before it was completed. He did see the second move, but it was completely different from the first.
Based on Feng's opening move, could Gu Jieshuang really predict what would happen next? Or would it also come to an abrupt end?
Ning Xingyi frowned slightly, but when he saw Gu Jieshuang's determined eyes through the sword blade, his heart trembled.
Could it be that this sword really exists?
Inexplicably, he thought of Feng's sword light in Xingtian's vision that completely submerged him, and his heart suddenly became nervous.
No, I can't handle it!
Thinking of this, Ning Xingyi raised the branch in his hand, and the "sword intent" had already spread on it!
clang!
At this moment, Gu Jieshuang's spirit, energy and spirit were highly unified. From the perspective of the star level, everything around her became extremely slow, which allowed her to fully unleash this sword bit by bit.
So precise.
This sword seemed simple, but it required her full concentration at every moment. Any distraction would lead to collapse. If it were not for the powerful reaction brought by the star-level perspective, she would not have had any hope of swinging this sword.
As he thought this, the Bingxin Sword in his hand had already come into contact with Ning Xingyi.
Click!
As soon as they came into contact, Gu Jieshuang could no longer maintain this perspective.
Ning Xingyi's sword intent was at too high a level, leaving Gu Jieshuang no chance to take his time.
There was only a crisp sound, and the world in front of Gu Jieshuang suddenly accelerated. When she regained her sight,
The dead branch in Ning Xingyi's hand had broken into two pieces.
"This..." Ning Xingyi was stunned.
My own 'sword intent'... was broken?
Even if he could lower the level of his sword intent to the same epic level as the Ice Heart Sword, it should not be something that the Ice Heart Sword could break!
This knife...
He turned around and his eyes fell on Gu Jieshuang: "How did you guess the follow-up of Feng's knife?"
Gu Jieshuang breathed a long sigh of relief. In her hand, the Bingxin Sword was covered with dense cracks all over the sword, but it did not break after all.
She raised her head, her lips were pale and her face showed weakness that could not be concealed.
"Senior... Feng's two slashes were actually one move..."
Ning Xingyi was stunned for a moment.
At that moment, countless pieces of information flowed through his mind. At that moment, he realized one thing -
In fact, Feng won both of the previous two fights.
With that first sword strike in the world, if Feng had not been restricted by his body and had been able to fully unleash his will... he could have broken his own sword intent!
He thought again that after Feng saw his sword intent, he quickly realized something and then closed his eyes - when he closed his eyes, had he already thought about how to attack?
And now, Gu Jieshuang completed Feng's knife.
His sword intent was thus broken.
"But how come... those two knives are obviously not the same at all." Ning Xingyi couldn't accept it.
Doesn’t this mean that my understanding is not as good as that of a little girl like Gu Jieshuang?
"That's not the case." A smile appeared on Gu Jieshuang's face. "This knife technique was taught to me by Senior Feng."
Hearing this, Ning Xingyi was silent for a moment.
"...I see." He seemed to understand something.
These two slashes are actually one move... So, this is probably Feng's "sword intent".
His sword intent is just sword intent, but Feng can break it down into moves.
The gap is really obvious.
Gu Jieshuang is not a card maker and does not know how to control rhythm, but... he can use the star level to connect this "sword intent".
Yes, connection... Feng temporarily kept his "sword intent" in the nearby starry sky vision. The sword just now was actually the "sword intent" following the star-level channel and "descending" on Gu Jieshuang's sword, and then guided by Gu Jieshuang according to specific moves and struck out.
Only in this way can Ning Xingyi's sword intent be broken.
"The way you utilize sword power... is truly unheard of." Ning Xingyi looked at Gu Jieshuang and couldn't help but admire her. "If I saw correctly, you almost completely controlled your body just now... To be able to achieve this at such a young age is truly remarkable."
Gu Jieshuang scratched his head: "Hey, it's okay..."
"Since you can use the sword power in this way." Ning Xingyi seemed to have thought of something.
Gu Jieshuang is not a card maker and doesn’t even know the principles of rhythm writing, but he can use the “sword intent” in this way... If that’s the case.
He reached into his arms and took out a blank soul card. With the sound of a sword, a cut mark appeared on it.
He handed the cut mark to Gu Jieshuang.
"Try it, can you draw strength from it?"
Ning Xingyi has now injected a ray of his "sword intent" into this blank soul card, turning it into a disposable spell card.
Logically speaking, if this sword intent was something he had comprehended himself and was not stimulated by Ning Xingyi, there would be no possibility of using it at all.
But since Gu Jieshuang was able to use Feng's sword intent just now, does that mean...
Before Ning Xingyi could finish his thoughts, he saw a flash of starlight in Gu Jieshuang's eyes in front of him, and then.
Buzz!
A hazy air current suddenly enveloped the Bingxin Sword. Gu Jieshuang felt the sword in her hand suddenly become much heavier, almost unable to hold it. In a hurry, she quickly swung the sword towards the dense forest beside her.
clang!
The sound of sword ringing suddenly rang out, and a sword energy shot out in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it had cut several giant trees in front of it in half!
"This..." Ning Xingyi's eyes widened slightly.
Really?!
He quickly looked at Gu Jieshuang's hand. At this moment, the "Sword Intent" he gave him had turned gray... Did it enter the death cooling stage?
It was the first time he saw the sword intent in the death cooling state.
You know, normally when you inject sword intent into other places, it is equivalent to making a disposable soul card. Once used, it is considered used up. How come in Gu Jieshuang's hands, it can enter the death cooldown?
Ning Xingyi: ...
Seeing his sword intent being used by someone, for some reason, he suddenly had the illusion that he was being manipulated by a minotaur.
Bang!
The Bingxin Sword in Gu Jieshuang's hand could no longer hold on and shattered into pieces of soul card fragments.
She scratched her head: "Senior, am I...successful?"
"Of course, you succeeded." Ning Xingyi took a deep breath and then smiled. "Using someone else's sword intent... Xiaoshuang, you may have walked out a unique path of your own."
"Is that so?" Gu Jieshuang chuckled, "I don't understand either... please enlighten me, senior!"
…
In chaos.
Ye Lai came to Feng's side.
"Jie Shuang really used the sword intent you left behind." Ye Lai said, "That child has a high level of comprehension... He is worthy of being recognized by the master of this body."
Hearing this, Feng's mouth corners curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
When he was in the ruins, he saw Gu Jieshuang's unique star-level status and began to admire his talent.
Now, it is a good opportunity to test Gu Jieshuang's understanding by fighting with Ning Xingyi.
Now it seems that it is indeed satisfactory.
It was worth the time he spent studying the thing called "Star Level".
"But, Feng," Ye Lai continued, "if you want to have fun... why don't you seek a true name from the master of this body? If you have a true name, you can break Ning Xingyi's sword intent in this world yourself, without having to rely on Gu Jieshuang to complete the move."
Without a real name, one will be rejected by the world and will not be allowed to communicate with the outside world.
Not only that, abilities like "Sword Intent" that belong to Feng himself are not allowed to be displayed in the world.
Therefore, the sword controlled by Feng from the Sword Saint was broken so easily - that sword did not use any power, it only had its shape, and there was no sword intent attached to it, so how could it withstand Ning Xingyi?
"…It's not the time yet." Feng just said this.
"What are you worried about... Actually, you can talk to the master of this body. Maybe we can help you."
Feng shook his head: "It's a matter of state of mind, how can it be that simple... Don't worry, I have already recognized the summoner. When the time is right, I will definitely ask the summoner for a real name."
"Okay." Ye Lai nodded, then smiled, "Speaking of which... using sword techniques with a knife, can this be fun?"
"...The instrument of life and death, why should we distinguish them so clearly?"
