This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 616 - 83: Dharma Aspect, None

Chapter 616: Chapter 83: Dharma Aspect, None

After a moment of standoff, Yan Fei’s figure activated once again.

Yes, activated.

In Lu Qingshan’s view, Yan Fei’s stance resembled that of a heavyweight tank starting up.

Although his starting speed was much faster than that of a tank.

In theory, although Yan Fei’s cultivation of both the Material True Intent and the Strength True Intent was an extremely powerful combination, to reach perfection, he still lacked an Intent of speed.

Strength, defense, and speed, together, make one invincible.

But then again, when has the path of cultivation ever been perfect?

Even for someone like Lu Qingshan, whose cultivation method was akin to cheating, there were still flaws in defense, and other cultivators had even more.

…

Seeing that the Flying Sword could no longer inflict damage on Yan Fei, and given that Lu Qingshan had not cultivated the Sword Formation Technique or the Burst Sword Technique within the Internal Sword, he temporarily gave up on using the Flying Sword.

Although others often praised him for his prowess in both Internal and External Swords, Lu Qingshan knew that his techniques in the External Sword were actually far superior to those of the Internal Sword.

This was for various reasons, such as the Sword Formation Technique requiring multiple swords for assistance, and the Burst Sword Technique needing the collection and tempering of the essence of Heaven and Earth and the Five Elements, making cultivation extremely time-consuming. These were not easily skipped over through Experience Points, and what he lacked most was time…

Lu Qingshan reached out and grabbed the Dragon Sparrow swaying beside him, and in the next instant, his figure burst forth, rushing towards Yan Fei.

Oblivion and Peach Blossom followed like two auxiliary swords flanking his body as they moved forward together.

The distance between the two rapidly closed.

When they were sufficiently close, mystical symbols flashed in Lu Qingshan’s eyes, and simultaneously, he thrust out his hand holding the Dragon Sparrow, wrapped in surging killing intent.

Divine Technique: Divine Foresight.

With four arms in the Eight-Armed Vajra form, Yan Fei was absolutely at the peak of close-range combat.

The confidence Lu Qingshan had to engage him at close quarters stemmed firstly from his own rich combat experience, including insight, reflex, and techniques, and secondly from this near-divine technique of close combat, the Divine Foresight.

In response to the sword thrust by Lu Qingshan, Yan Fei simply threw a straightforward punch.

Arhat Fist!

This was the introductory Body Cultivation martial technique of the Dragon Elephant Temple, beginnable from the Qi Refining Realm.

Though it appeared to be the most ordinary fist technique, it indeed confirmed the age-old Chan wisdom of “Great wisdom appears foolish, and the skilful appear clumsy.”

The most ordinary fist could become the most formidable Divine Skill, with the power of the Arhat Fist almost having no limit; it could still be cultivated at the Foundation Establishment, the Golden Core, and even at the Nascent Soul and Void Refining stages.

In this world, only time does not deceive; when you devote endless time to cultivating a Body Cultivation martial technique from the Qi Refining Realm to the Nascent Soul Stage, it will reciprocate with boundless power.

A sword has its Sword Qi, a blade has its blade energy, and a fist has its punching power.

One could see a surge of powerful punching power suddenly burst from Yan Fei’s fist. The punching power was tangible, forming a large thick air band about a mile thick, which thundered towards the Dragon Sparrow.

When the edge of the Dragon Sparrow Sword made contact with the air band, it was as if it had entered a hard medium, and Lu Qingshan sensed a strong friction.

Lu Qingshan immediately realized that his sword could not gain an advantage in the clash of strength with Yan Fei.

After all, True Intent of Strength was a Primordial Intent, formidably boundless.

Yan Fei’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Don’t forget, he was an Eight-Armed Vajra, so while his right fist was engaged with Lu Qingshan’s Dragon Sparrow, he still had seven other arms free!

So, amidst a clattering noise, six kinds of weapons, along with a fist as big as a sandbag, simultaneously swung towards Lu Qingshan.

Each style of attack was a powerful single-target strike, and the combination of seven strikes gave off the sensation of an unavoidable, area-covering assault.

This was just the counter Lu Qingshan’s Divine Foresight needed!

Having no choice, Lu Qingshan loosened his tight grasp on the Dragon Sparrow Sword hilt and, somewhat ungainly, swept backward, narrowly evading the attack.

Once his posture was stable, Lu Qingshan squinted at Yan Fei.

“Discarding your sword already?” Yan Fei asked softly.

Golden light of Arhat shimmered in his right hand as he caught the blade bare-handed, firmly trapping Lu Qingshan’s Dragon Sparrow at the blade.

“My sword is not something just anyone can claim,” Lu Qingshan said calmly with a smile.

Upon a thought, the Dragon Sparrow, restrained by Yan Fei, immediately vibrated sharply, with a sudden burst of cold light and an explosion of True Annihilation Intent.

An overwhelming force of annihilation and deathly silence emanated from the Dragon Sparrow.

Under the influence of this annihilating force, the Arhat’s Golden Light in Yan Fei’s hand began to shrink and dissipate at an astonishing rate.

The blade edge smoothly cut through his skin, and broken fragments of Sword Qi took the opportunity to wreak havoc in the flesh of his palm.

In pain, Yan Fei had no choice but to let go of the Dragon Sparrow.

“Is this the True Annihilation Intent?” Seeing the Dragon Sparrow fly back into Lu Qingshan’s hands with a swish, Yan Fei’s pupils contracted slightly.

“Yes,” Lu Qingshan replied succinctly.

After this probing, he sighed softly in his heart.

It had to be said that Yan Fei was the strongest opponent he had encountered so far.

Moreover, considering that Body Cultivation indeed had some restraint over Sword Cultivation, it seemed unlikely that he could defeat Yan Fei without using his trump card.

The biggest problem currently was that as long as Yan Fei had the Vajra Dharma Aspect, his Flying Sword could not get close, and with the aid of the Strength True Intent, it was also difficult for him to win against Yan Fei in close combat.

It seemed there was no solution, yet the answer lay in plain sight.

If that was the case…

Then it was time to break his Dharma Aspect.

The Dharma Aspect of Body Cultivation was definitely not easy to break, but Lu Qingshan had a clever plan in mind.

With a thought, the arcane symbols in his eyes became even more complex.

In his eyes, the entire world also began to look different.

Abruptly, thousands of multicolored threads appeared on Yan Fei’s Vajra Dharma Aspect, interwoven and connected.

Those were causal lines formed by spells.

In front of tens of thousands of disbelieving onlookers, Lu Qingshan, who was clearly no match for Yan Fei in close combat, moved again with Dragon Sparrow in hand, charging towards Yan Fei once more.

In a blink of an eye, the figures of the two overlapped on the plain.

Or it could be said they were superimposed, because compared to Yan Fei’s enormous body bolstered by his Dharma Aspect, Lu Qingshan, who was also tall, appeared much smaller, completely obscured by Yan Fei.

Surrounded by dangers, Lu Qingshan seemed to fear Yan Fei’s various weapons, so he controlled the distance to be a bit farther, roughly five feet.

As the saying goes, “The shorter the weapon, the greater the danger; naturally, every foot longer, the more space Lu Qingshan had to maneuver, allowing him sufficient time to dodge.”

But the problem was, the sword was only three feet long, and the distance of five feet meant that each of Lu Qingshan’s strikes fell on empty space.

Between moments, Lu Qingshan moved like a startling heron, shifting and dodging constantly while his sword chopped, slashed, stabbed, and swept, exhausting every possible variation – strikingly so, if only each sword did not miss the mark.

“What is he doing?” Even Xi Xiang, who considered himself an old Sword Cultivator, could not understand Lu Qingshan’s actions.

Among the spectating cultivators, confusion was widespread.

What Lu Qingshan was doing was clear only to the two primary participants.

Initially, Yan Fei felt the same as everyone else, unclear about Lu Qingshan’s intentions.

Saying he was hesitating in battle, yet he dared to engage at close range. Saying he was responding in combat, yet every sword blow was swung at the air – what was that about?

But after dozens of swords, Yan Fei finally noticed something amiss.

Because he felt his Dharma Aspect, after another of Lu Qingshan’s missed strikes, quiver inexplicably as if it had been struck and lost a piece of something.

Exactly what happened, he did not understand.

But he knew this must be Lu Qingshan’s doing, also the reason behind these puzzling actions.

It was an unknown method, so in the rush, he had no idea how to respond.

With no alternative, Yan Fei could only burst forth with all his might—the only solution he could think of was to defeat Lu Qingshan before his own Dharma Aspect collapsed.

This made the battle a race to see who could act faster.

Of course, only a few recognized this point, while others remained puzzled.

“Causality True Intent, isn’t it?” Outside the arena, King Qing Mei pondered deeply.

He was one of the few cultivators who had seen through the details of this magical combat.
