Eternal Sword

Chapter 40: Sword Passing
"The Burning Wood Sword is just a method of practicing the sharp sword technique, not a move."

The guest in the mountain said: "If you can master the Burning Wood Sword, you can integrate it into any sword technique to increase its power."

Chen Tang nodded.

Although chopping is also a basic sword technique, the faster the sword is moved, the more difficult it is to resist.

"I do have a few sword techniques that I can teach you, but..."

The guest in the mountain paused and said thoughtfully, "However, if you only travel the world, it will be difficult for you to comprehend the charm of these sword techniques. At most, you can only practice to the level of 'mastering its changes'."

"Forget it, I'll pass it on to you first."

Shan Zhongke stood up, holding the ice knife in his hand, pointed at Chen Tang from a distance, and said: "This move is called "Pao Ding butchering an ox", which is very suitable for your talent. However, if you want to cultivate to the 'God' realm, your own realm must reach at least the seventh level."

Chen Tang had also heard of the story of Butcher Ding butchering an ox in his previous life.

Most things in this strange world are different from those in the previous life, but there are some overlapping parts.

"Most sword techniques are based on toughness and ferocity."

The guest in the mountain said, "But the method of butchering an ox, as in the cooking method of Ding, is characterized by its gentleness. There is no fixed pattern for this method, and the angle can be random, but you must avoid the opponent's weapon and not engage in a head-on confrontation."

"You have to practice to the point where you can no longer see this person, but only see his muscles and bones, weaknesses and flaws. Only then can you be considered successful."

"Please take the knife."

The mountain guest motioned Chen Tang to pick up the long knife on the ground.

Chen Tang knew that the guest in the mountain wanted to fight with him.

Only by constantly exchanging moves and feeding them, can he more easily understand the essence and charm of this move.

Chen Tang drew out his long sword and prepared for battle.

The mountain guest took an ice knife in his hand, took a step forward, and chopped at Chen Tang's face casually.

Chen Tang raised his knife and blocked it upwards!
At the moment when the two swords were about to collide, Shan Zhongke's sword suddenly changed its momentum. The blade became extremely soft and bypassed Chen Tang's long sword, cutting in from an extremely strange angle!
Moreover, this knife covered many vital points on Chen Tang's body!

Throat, chest, ribs...

Before the blade arrived, Chen Tang felt a slight pain in several parts of his body!
This knife may attack any of these vital points.

If Chen Tang defended his chest, he might be stabbed in the throat, and vice versa.

In an instant, Chen Tang felt an irresistible feeling.

As if possessed by a ghost, he suddenly thought of the sword move that Bai Tian Zhiwei taught him.

Without having time to think, Chen Tang moved half a step sideways, slightly turned sideways, used the knife as a sword, turned his wrist, and with the help of the strength of his body and arms, swung the long knife horizontally to his side!
Ding!
The two swords collided, making a crisp sound.

Chen Tang was overjoyed!

blocked!
He clearly saw that the ice knife in the mountain visitor's hand had deviated from its original trajectory and was about to fall.

"Ok?"

The mountain visitor's expression changed.

The next moment, the ice knife trembled slightly.

Chen Tang only felt his palms vibrating, and he couldn't hold the handle of the knife anymore. The long knife flew out of his hand and fell to the ground!

Chen Tang opened his mouth slightly.

The mountain guest used an ice knife to knock his long sword away, and the ice knife remained intact!

Of course, Chen Tang knew that the guest in the mountain had just won by force.

Judging from the moves alone, the Shanzhongke's butchering trick has been cracked.

The mountain guest frowned and asked, "Where did you learn this move just now?"

"It was taught by a little girl."

Chen Tang roughly recounted what happened down the mountain, and asked tentatively: "Is there anything wrong with this move?"

The mountain visitor seemed not to have heard him speak. He just lowered his head slightly, staring at the ice knife in his hand, lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and said calmly: "This move of yours was originally a sword technique."

Chen Tang knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he nodded.

"Little girl..." The mountain guest murmured softly, "After you go down the mountain, be nice to that little girl and don't mistreat her."

"what?"

Chen Tang was stunned. He didn't expect the guest in the mountain to suddenly say such a thing.

"Senior, do you recognize her?" Chen Tang asked.

“I don’t know it, but I recognize this sword technique.”

The guest in the mountain smiled and said, "This sword technique was originally not passed on to outsiders. It is your good fortune that you were able to learn it."

Chen Tang asked again: "Is there any explanation for this sword technique?"

"nothing."

The guest in the mountain said, "But if you use this sword technique to resist, then the butcher's trick just now will be useless."

"I will pass on the next few moves to you, and you can still use the sword moves to resist and resolve them."

Chen Tang held the knife again.

"Watch out, the first move is to fight north and south!"

The man in the mountain held an ice knife in his hand and suddenly slashed at the void behind him.

Before Chen Tang could react, the guest in the mountain suddenly turned around and rushed towards him at an even faster speed. He was ferocious and carried an invincible killing intent!
Before Chen Tang could draw his knife, he felt a rush of blood rushing towards him, suffocating him.

next moment.

The blade was already suspended in front of his forehead!

"The southern expedition is a sword, and the northern war is also a sword."

The guest in the mountain practiced it again and explained, "The Southern Expedition Sword can be used as a fake sword. It mainly relies on the opponent's strength, and then adds one's own strength, turning over and slashing out the Northern Expedition Sword."

"The Nanzheng strike can be real, or even the Nanzheng and Beizhan strikes can be fake, with the third strike being real. This requires considering the battlefield situation comprehensively, adapting to circumstances, and making the most favorable judgment."

"Just remember one thing, use your virtual sword to take advantage of the enemy's force and momentum, and use your real sword to break through the formation and kill the enemy!"

Chen Tang first grasped the direction of the sword technique, and then carefully pondered the words of the guest in the mountain.

I just feel that this move, although seemingly simple, is actually real and has endless uses.

"The second move is to sweep across the world!"

The guest in the mountain used his body as the axis and spun on the spot, and the blade of his sword created a large wave of air around him!

Chen Tang's pupils contracted slightly.

In his sight, it seemed as if the entire world was cut in half by the mountain guest's sword, a brief separation!

"The third move, swallowing the world!"

The man in the mountain attacked again, and in an instant, he slashed eight times in a row, covering all directions without missing anything!

The guest in the mountain said: "These moves are not difficult to learn, nor are they difficult to remember, but if you want to practice them to the 'divine realm', or even further, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Chen Tang also had this feeling.

These three moves seem to be completely different from the way the chef butchers an ox.

The moves look extremely simple and straightforward, but they reveal a sense of returning to nature.

More importantly, these three knives revealed a heart-pounding murderous intent!
Chen Tang asked: "These three swords seem to be related to the battlefield?"

Shan Zhongke's eyes lit up and he said, "Very good, it's good that you can feel this. These three moves are all sword techniques that I learned through life and death and bloody battles on the battlefield."

"So there are no fancy moves. Every move is a life-and-death killing move."

The battlefield is different from the fighting in the martial arts world.

With thousands of troops and horses, the armies collided with each other, swords and knives were indiscriminate, and there was chaos. In an instant, countless people were killed on the spot, and there was no room for any testing or tricks.

As soon as you try, you may be stabbed by countless knives and spears, and you won't even have a chance to make a second move!

No wonder Shan Zhongke just said that if Chen Tang was just wandering around the world, he could only comprehend the "change of state" of these three moves at most.

Only by experiencing life and death, and feeling the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield, can one reach the 'Godly Realm'.
