Chapter 54: Traceless Sword Technique, Sword without Trace
The sword of the heretic Fang Heng is very fast, and it is the fastest one Lu Chen has ever seen.
It was so fast that even though Lu Chen was prepared, he could only see an afterimage.
Phew!
As the blood sword passed by, a line of blood immediately appeared on Lu Chen's cheek, along with tiny blood beads.
The sword cut off some of the hair on his temples, and a few strands of hair floated in the air.
Fortunately, the sword of the heretic Fang Heng just brushed past Lu Chen's cheek and did not hit the vital point.
Otherwise, this sword alone would be enough to kill Lu Chen on the spot.
In other words, the person who performed this traceless sword technique was not Fang Heng himself, but an external demon who occupied Fang Heng's body.
The speed of the sword technique is only about half of the original speed.
Otherwise, even if Lu Chen had been prepared, he would not have been able to dodge the sword.
But even so, the outsider Fang Heng had to admit that Lu Chen was able to achieve this by only using the Qi training stage.
There is indeed reason for arrogance.
But that's not enough...
"You can dodge the first sword, but I don't believe you can dodge the second and third swords!"
The outsider Fang Heng snorted coldly, and his blood sword in his right hand turned into an afterimage and began to fall on Lu Chen continuously.
Perhaps because Lu Chen dodged his first sword, he was a little angry.
Therefore, his subsequent attacks deliberately avoided Lu Chen's vital points.
Every time the sword fell, it only left a minor wound on Lu Chen's body.
Although these wounds were not fatal, they made Lu Chen feel excruciating pain.
The main goal is to torture the opponent.
Facing the serious outsider Fang Heng, although Lu Chen wanted to fight back, he could not find a suitable opportunity.
I could only try my best to observe the opponent's swordsmanship and dodge as much as possible.
Seeing Lu Chen's miserable appearance at this moment, the outsider Fang Heng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, so running away like a stray dog is what you call the Tao?"
"Cry, be angry, and then in despair...die!"
Facing the provocation from the outsider Fang Heng, Lu Chen did not respond.
At this moment, he was like a small boat in the stormy sea, struggling to hold on.
But he is not without any chance.
His lotus-shaped pupils kept spinning, recording every sword swung by the heretic Fang Heng.
Maybe he was tired of playing, or maybe he felt that Lu Chen could not pose any threat to him.
The outsider Fang Heng finally stopped playing with Lu Chen.
"Kid, some things are useless just by talking."
"If you say Fang Heng is a coward, he has a lot of talent but cannot display it."
"That boy is just a reckless man. Although he has good talent, he lacks the proper respect for the strong."
"In your next life, remember not to argue in front of the strong. Otherwise... you will only make them laugh."
As the words fell, Lu Chen only saw a flash of cold light.
The blood sword reflected in the lotus pupil grew bigger and bigger until it pierced his throat.
Looking at Lu Chen's corpse, the outsider Fang Heng did not feel happy for some reason, but instead felt an indescribable uneasiness.
He looked at the calm expression on Lu Chen's face, and something seemed to be wrong.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Impossible, this guy is just a small cultivator in the Qi training stage, and he is already dead, what do I have to be afraid of?"
"Yes, he is dead, completely dead..."
On the second floor of Jiange, in front of the main gate.
[You carefully observed the enemy's swordsmanship, gained some insights, and unlocked a new skill... Traceless Swordsmanship]
[Because of your extremely high attainments in swordsmanship, your traceless swordsmanship has been improved to proficiency...]
[Traceless Sword Skill: Proficient 1/2000]
[Effect: The ultimate fast sword technique, without trace or form, the sword is not stained with blood, and when it is fully mastered, it can produce a traceless sword shadow]
"...The ultimate fast sword."
Lu Chen sat cross-legged in front of the main door on the second floor of Jiange, recalling the battle he had just had with the heretic Fang Heng.
To be honest, the traceless sword technique created by Fang Heng is actually not special.
He simply simplified every move and every form to the extreme, so that every sword strike could go straight to the vital point and avoid any unnecessary movements.
Not complicated, yet highly effective.
A person who is peaceful by nature and doesn't like killing, but has created an ultimate sword technique for killing people.
It has to be said that things in this world are unpredictable.
The reason why the traceless sword technique can reach extreme speed.
Of course, it’s not just because his sword moves are refined enough, but also because of its unique spiritual power operation.
With every strike of his sword, he mobilized all his strength, producing a terrifying explosion in an extremely short period of time.
It can be imagined that while such sword moves bring extreme speed, they will also place a considerable burden on the cultivator himself.
Therefore, the Traceless Sword Technique is, in general, a set of sword techniques that allows for quick battles and quick decisions.
If you cannot defeat the enemy within the specified time.
There is no need to wait for the enemy to attack, the person using the Traceless Sword Technique will be exhausted first.
In this regard, the Wuhen Sword Technique has many similarities with his Shuilongyin.
This is why Lu Chen was able to improve this sword technique to the 'proficient' level immediately after learning the initial stage of the Traceless Sword Technique.
"Although the Traceless Sword Technique is good, it is the same as my Water Dragon Song. The power of the sword technique depends on one's own cultivation and physical fitness."
"Although the attainment of the outer path Fang Heng in the traceless sword technique is not as high as the original Fang Heng, it is only at the mastery level."
"But his outer demon body has greatly made up for the weakness of the traceless sword technique, allowing him to last longer than the original Fang Heng."
"Plus, his cultivation has reached the first level of the foundation-building stage. Whether it is the weight or quality of his spiritual power, it is far superior to mine."
"So if I want to defeat the heretic Fang Heng, a protracted battle is absolutely not going to work. I must have the ability to kill him with one strike in order to win this time."
Facing a strong man like Fang Heng, who is in the foundation-building stage, can Lu Chen kill him with one strike? Although he can't do it now, it doesn't mean he can't do it in the future.
Because his traceless swordsmanship will not always remain at the level of proficiency.
Especially when there is a demon from the Foundation Establishment Stage who has also practiced the Traceless Sword Technique as a sparring partner.
Lu Chen stood up and added the three talisman effects of "God-speed Talisman", "Eagle-eye Talisman" and "Giant Strength Talisman" to himself again.
Then he placed the disciple token into the recess next to the wooden door and activated the door.
As the door to the second floor opened again, Lu Chen walked in calmly.
Although there is a huge gap between him and the outsider Fang Heng at the moment, the gap is not so big that Lu Chen feels it cannot be made up.
As long as he practices the Traceless Sword Technique to the point of breaking through.
After that, as long as he combines it with his own Water Dragon Song Sword Technique, he will have the realm-breaking level.
He has every chance to defeat his superiors and challenge opponents of higher levels.
But before that, he needs to suffer a little more.
Others spend a lot of time learning swordsmanship.
But Lu Chen is more amazing. He learns swordsmanship... by risking his life!
If fighting is the best teacher, then death... is the best lesson!
After all, other people can only learn this lesson once in their lifetime.
But Lu Chen can eat it countless times to ensure that he will not make the same mistake next time.
