48: Chapter 48 The Strongest Sword VS The Most Ordinary Shield

The longsword passed through Su Yi's body, and his body instantly turned into flowing water.

Gu Wanquan let out a surprised sound, and the longsword in his hand instantly unleashed seven or eight slashes.

Yet, all the attacks passed straight through Su Yi's body without harming him in the slightest.

This was a completely different concept from the Clone technique within the Five Elements Evasion Technique.

The Clone technique in the Five Elements Evasion Technique merely used True Qi to condense a temporary substitute to block a single attack for the Cultivator.

The Cultivator would randomly swap to the location where the Clone had been pre-condensed.

The Clone technique was just a Puppet; it could only passively take a beating.

But the Su Yi before him, who was like flowing water, was actually able to wink and make faces at him!

Gu Wanquan's eyes narrowed. Just as he wanted to retreat, he discovered that Su Yi had already grabbed his sword blade with one hand!

Grabbing the sword blade with his bare hand did not injure his palm in the slightest; instead, Gu Wanquan felt a viscous sensation as if the longsword had sunk into syrup!

When did this Su Yi learn such a strange skill?

Gu Wanquan was secretly shocked. With a light shout, he leaped up and kicked Su Yi, trying to pull out his longsword.

To Gu Wanquan's surprise, Su Yi's body, which was like flowing water, actually followed Gu Wanquan's leg and wrapped directly around his body.

Su Yi's body, like flowing taffy, stuck tightly to Gu Wanquan's body.

This skill was none other than the Purple Grade skill, "Softness Around the Fingers," obtained from the grave!

Skill: "Softness Around the Fingers"

Grade: Purple Grade

Effect 1: Transform into flowing water to evade damage!

Effect 2: Transform into flowing water to strangle the opponent!

Using the two effects interchangeably, it was as if Su Yi possessed a Bloodline Limit like that of the shark-mouthed character from a Japanese manga in his past life!

Transform into water, overcome hardness with softness!

His body was tightly wrapped around Gu Wanquan, like a giant python manifested from the Water Element, binding Gu Wanquan's body firmly.

For a time, Gu Wanquan could do nothing about Su Yi, and Su Yi could not get any closer; the two remained deadlocked in place.

By turning his body into flowing water and wrapping it around Gu Wanquan, the two's posture appeared extremely ambiguous to the audience present.

There was an indescribable, taboo sensation!

The audience present only felt that the two sides were fighting in an ambiguous manner, while the old men in the main hall were extremely astonished.

"This young man's Water Element Evasion Technique seems to have already touched the edge of the Water Element Dao Rhyme!"

"A Dao Rhyme that can only be grasped at the Golden Core Stage has actually been simulated by an Evasion Technique. The person who created this technique is truly a Genius!"

"It should be a variation of the Water Clone, which is why it doesn't have such high requirements for the Cultivator's Realm."

"However, this battle technique has very high requirements for cultivation talent. It seems this young man is also a once-in-a-century Water Evasion Genius!"

...

Everyone sighed, but they did not believe that Su Yi could win.

A battle technique that forcibly incorporates Dao Rhyme was nothing special in their eyes.

No matter how strong a battle technique is, it cannot compare to a sword technique that can trigger celestial phenomena!

The two were simply not on the same level.

Although Gu Wanquan was somewhat flustered by Su Yi's surprise tactic, he quickly steadied his footing.

Gu Wanquan gave a light shout, and his Protective Aura directly blasted away the flowing water that Su Yi had transformed into.

Su Yi did a somersault and landed on the ground, instantly unleashing a Water Whip Technique once again.

By this time, Gu Wanquan's patience was almost exhausted. He gripped the sword with both hands and swung out several streaks of Sword Qi, pointing straight at Su Yi.

While Su Yi was dodging, Gu Wanquan had already flashed behind him.

When the longsword descended, Su Yi swapped with a Water Clone, and Gu Wanquan missed again!

Su Yi retreated rapidly and casually shot several more Water Arrows at Gu Wanquan to increase the distance between them, gasping for air.

The effect of the Purple Grade skill was indeed awesome, but the consumption was equally massive.

Using it once consumed half of his True Qi.

After Gu Wanquan raised his sword to block the Water Arrows, he stood holding the sword, looking at Su Yi with a slightly puzzled gaze.

Since stepping onto the Martial Arts Arena, Gu Wanquan had always had a strange feeling, as if he had been trapped in Su Yi's rhythm the whole time.

No matter how fierce his attacks were, they would be resolved by Su Yi.

He couldn't hit him, and he was sticky, like a loach.

Although Gu Wanquan had grasped the "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal" and had a very deep understanding and insight into the Dao of the sword at this moment.

He naturally looked down on ordinary sword techniques, and because his cultivation time was short, Gu Wanquan, who was focused on comprehending the "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal," had no time to learn others.

This resulted in Gu Wanquan not learning any other battle techniques besides the immensely powerful "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal"!

This led to Gu Wanquan's current awkward situation.

Gu Wanquan looked at Su Yi in the distance, his heart, which had been in disarray because of being drugged, gradually calmed down.

Sheathing his sword, Gu Wanquan gripped the hilt with his right hand. When he looked at Su Yi, his eyes were full of seriousness: "The games are over, Junior Brother!"

Su Yi was suddenly terrified; his Mythic Talent effect was frantically warning him that the Gu Wanquan standing before him now was extremely dangerous!

"It seems Gu Wanquan is about to use that move, the 'Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal'!" Su Yi's gaze was fixed firmly on Gu Wanquan.

This was also the biggest variable in the current situation.

Gu Wanquan tapped his toes, his figure leaping high like a light swallow, then he stretched his body, his left hand gently pushing the sword hilt.

The sword left the scabbard by half an inch and instantly slid into his right hand, which was gripping the air.

"Sword Drawing Technique: One-Word Rising Dragon!"

Swish!

The entire Martial Arts Arena instantly rang with a series of ear-piercing sword chimes!

Gu Wanquan's figure suddenly dashed out, creating countless afterimages, arriving before Su Yi in an instant!

Fast, it was simply too fast!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye; Su Yi could already see the strands of hair on Gu Wanquan's face.

Su Yi's hair stood on end; his sixth sense was screaming at him that he could not dodge this sword strike!

Even with the effect of his Mythic Talent, which could perceive the opponent's attacks in advance.

But this sword strike was an exception; it could not be perceived at all!

Cannot perceive, cannot dodge, cannot block!

The "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal" was just that overbearing!

A must-have divine skill for instant kills at the same level, soloing across levels, and killing and looting!

Unfortunately, Gu Wanquan was only at the 9th Level of Qi Refining at this moment and had not yet stepped into Foundation Establishment!

Su Yi's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he used his trump card!

Instantly, a massive golden bell enveloped Su Yi.

When the majestic golden bell appeared, everyone's jaws dropped.

It wasn't because it was too awesome, but because this skill was too ordinary.

But this ordinariness was relative; this defensive battle technique was a defensive skill that only a Metal Element Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator could use:

"Protective Golden Bell"!

And the Protective Golden Bell enveloping Su Yi before them was so solid that it had almost become a physical object!

One look and it was clear it had been unleashed by a powerhouse at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage!

This kid at the 8th Level of Qi Refining before them could use a technique with the power of the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage?

What kind of background does this kid have?

Could he be the illegitimate child of some Elder in the Inner Sect?

To actually hide such a life-saving skill!

And this was the White Grade battle technique that Su Yi had copied from Senior Brother Chen Feng.

It was also Su Yi's biggest trump card in this battle!

White Skill: Copy (Grandmaster)

Effect 1: Copy a White Grade skill from a Cultivator one Realm higher!

But White Grade battle techniques depended on who was using them!

The power of a White Grade battle technique unleashed by someone at the 1st Level of Foundation Establishment and the 9th Level of Foundation Establishment was completely worlds apart!

This was the biggest bug of this battle technique!

Then it wouldn't be excessive for me to Copy a powerhouse at the Peak of Foundation Establishment who is at the Half-Step Golden Core, right?

Looking at it this way, apart from the drawback of having to Cultivate this battle technique to Grandmaster, this battle technique was simply perfect!

Because even for a White Grade battle technique, the experience required to upgrade it to Grandmaster was quite terrifying.

For this, Su Yi not only crazily grinded Sect missions behind the backs of the few people in the small courtyard, but also borrowed a large sum of Low-Grade Spirit Stones from Senior Brother Chen Feng.

The exhaustion and heavy debt of these ten days, cashed in today, culminated in this most ordinary defensive technique of the Peak of Foundation Establishment!

The sharpest sword of the Qi Refinement Stage VS the most ordinary shield of the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage!
