Traveling through time, all of them are the protagonist's public enemies

Chapter 100: One sword breaks all laws, one sword creates all laws ( more, please subscribe!)

At this moment, although the old man noticed that Yang Chen's sword moves seemed to have many flaws, he did not dare to draw his sword rashly for fear of repeating the same mistake!

Even drawing the sword at this moment may be a way to close the loop.

The old man suddenly felt trapped. Every sword he struck seemed to be at his will, but in fact, he was influenced by external factors and fell into Yang Chen's trap!

It's like being trapped in a web of devastation, the more you struggle, the deeper you get.

"Has this kid been practicing swordsmanship since he was in his mother's womb?"

The old man tried his best to break the attack, but he felt that Yang Chen's swordsmanship was getting faster and faster, and the sword net in the sky was getting tighter and tighter, and cold sweat gradually covered his forehead.

In the past, when facing masters of the same level, he could still use his Qi to detect the enemy, know the enemy with his mind, predict the enemy's moves based on the changes in his muscles and Qi, and his sword skills were not so awkward. But now, he seemed to be led by the nose, and he fell into a desperate situation after making the first move!
Without complete confidence, the old man did not dare to fight back completely, otherwise he would be exposed and his life would be in danger.

It’s not that his swordsmanship is not as good as this young man’s, but this young man is young and energetic, not afraid of getting hurt, brave and diligent, with an overwhelming spirit, and his swordsmanship is extremely ferocious!
Are you, a young man, really bullying me because I am old and weak?
The old man no longer retreated or dodged, and thrust out with his sword!
Under this sword, the opponent must draw his sword to defend himself and cannot dodge, otherwise he will be seriously injured and fall to the ground!

At this moment, a "clang" sound was heard!
The sound of gurgling water and the music of the piano came into Yang Chen's ears. In his mind, the general formula of the Dugu Nine Swords and the sword-breaking formula shone brightly, and the insights he had learned in recent days flooded into his heart!
In an instant, the ever-changing sword moves became simple in his eyes: chopping, stabbing, lifting, collapsing, wiping, picking... all the basics were within his sight. No matter how they were combined or changed, they all followed the basic principles.

Yang Chen suddenly realized something and wielded his sword like flying. The speed of the sword was so fast that the sword energy and thunderous sound seemed to distort the space!

"Ding"!
The sword shadow dissipated. It was the first time that the two swords had collided since the fight. The old man's arm felt numb and the sword almost slipped out of his hand!

"Thank you, Sword Emperor, for teaching me the sword."

Yang Chen put away his sword and stood, bowing.

The old man seemed to be struck by lightning and stood there in a daze. You kid can talk, you’ve pissed me off!

You set up ambushes layer by layer, used numerous sword techniques, and used many real flaws to lure me in, just to make a breakthrough in swordsmanship?
If you fail to break through, won’t you die on the spot?

It is true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. This generation of young people is so disregarding their lives in order to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. No wonder they have such a high level of swordsmanship at such a young age!
The old man sighed in his heart.

If it were him, he would definitely not have been so determined to risk his life for a breakthrough in swordsmanship when he was young!

It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I really don’t want to!

Since the young man gave him enough face, the old man also took the opportunity to back down, sheathed his sword, stood with his hands behind his back and said:
"No need to thank me. With your understanding and determination, you won't have to worry about failing to master the sword. This is one of the essences of my sword. Your ability to comprehend it shows that you have already begun to explore the sword and have gained some insights.

Considering your age, this is truly astonishing. When I was your age, I was just beginning to realize the state of true qi and swordsmanship following one's heart."

Yang Chen smiled.

He could tell from the old man's words that he was praising him for his willingness to sacrifice his life in pursuit of a breakthrough in the way of the sword. However, the old man didn't know that he had practiced the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art and other horizontal training techniques. Even if he took a blow from his sword, he wouldn't be seriously injured. At most, he would just get a little skin broken...

This is the huge information gap between the real world and the world of reincarnation. Yang Chen sighed slightly in his heart.

"The path of swordsmanship consists of two things: from complex to simple, and from simple to complex. In the former, every move is imbued with profound principles, dismantling the opponent's sword moves like a butcher cutting up an ox. In the latter, countless variations are possible, exhausting all possibilities, leaving the opponent exhausted and unable to break free."

The old man did not talk about the purpose of blocking the road. He looked at Yang Chen with a look of satisfaction and joy in his eyes, and continued to talk about swordsmanship.

"But the world doesn't know that the two are not contradictory, but rather the yin and yang of swordsmanship, complementing each other."

The old man stared at Yang Chen with a sharp gaze and said, "But no matter what path you take, the way of the sword is ultimately based on 'me'. Don't let others restrain you. I value your talent and would like to give you this advice."

Yes, whether it is to break all laws with one sword or to create all laws with one sword, I must take it as my priority and use it for my own benefit! Yang Chen seemed to have been enlightened, and the haze was dispelled. He put away his sword and saluted:

"Thank you, Sword Emperor, for your guidance."

This guidance was of great benefit to his sword practice and climbing to the peak of kendo, and it also gave him a new understanding of cultivation.

But the more honest Yang Chen was, the more helpless the old man felt. He had actually lost the previous competition...

What's the meaning of you saying thank you all the time?
Don’t look down on the poor old people!
It’s not that he lost in swordsmanship, but that boxing is afraid of young strength, and swordsmanship is afraid of young courage. He can’t compare to Yang Chen in terms of fighting.

The old man felt a little guilty, and looked away, not looking at Yang Chen's greeting, and said with emotion:

"You have an exceptional talent for swordsmanship, but your swordsmanship still requires gradual advancement. For example, I, for example, only gained the title of 'Sword Emperor' eight years ago after picking up my longsword again."

"Senior, did you abandon your sword before?"

Ruan Yushu asked curiously.

"No, at that time, 'the sword and I forgot each other'."

The Sword Emperor said calmly, "There is no sword in my heart, but there is a sword in my hand; there is no sword in my hand, but there is a sword in my heart. No matter the external objects, flowers and plants can be swords; the sword and I become one, the sword and I forget each other... After going through all kinds of things, I picked up this sword again.

The sword is still a sword, and only then can I understand the way of the sword."

"As the saying goes, when you see a mountain it is a mountain, when you see a mountain it is not a mountain, and when you see a mountain it is still a mountain." Yang Chen added lightly.

"The boy is teachable. It's good enough if he understands. However, he needs to experience this matter personally before he can be considered to have mastered it." The Sword Emperor nodded slightly.

After saying this, the old man turned and left.

Shrinking the earth into an inch, disappearing into the night, leaving only one word:
"Tell Lu Guan that no matter who ascends the throne, he will be indispensable in driving out the foreign invaders. Be patient and don't rush to attach yourself to him."

Leaving now?

Ruan Yushu was surprised. Why did the Sword Emperor look a little unstable and didn't want to stay here any longer?
Didn't Brother Yang say that the Sword Emperor won? Did he even teach Brother Yang a sword technique?

No, I can't ask. My image as the aloof young lady cannot be shattered... Ruan Yushu suppressed her curiosity and said coldly, "The Sword Emperor said that it is best to remain neutral for the time being."

"Ok!"

Yang Chen looked at her and smiled slightly. Her piano music just now was like the sound of nature, which helped him break through the barrier of swordsmanship!

What the Sword Emperor said reminded Yang Chen of the next main task: Lu Guan’s appointment as a general.

"Let's go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to meet up with them and start the second main task." Yang Chen turned around and said, carrying a sword.

Ruan Yushu nodded obediently and walked side by side with him.

On the way to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Yang Chen digested his insights into the way of swordsmanship. His way of swordsmanship was based on the Dugu Nine Swords.

The exquisiteness of this sword technique lies in its ability to simplify the complex and directly touch the root of the sword technique's principles when breaking the moves.

The essence of Dugu Nine Swords' swordsmanship is first and foremost to hone one's own swordsmanship and take oneself as the main focus.

Breaking the move is just a side effect of going with the flow.

Looking back on the past, Yang Chen was bound by inertia and trapped in the so-called "common sense of Dugu Nine Swords", and actually put the cart before the horse.

The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation once said that the Dugu Nine Swords was a profound sword technique that was infinitely close to the external scene.

What he relied on was the profound and unfathomable principles of swordsmanship contained therein, and not any other reason.

Fortunately, I met the Sword Emperor who gave me some pointers in a battle.

Otherwise, Yang Chen's swordsmanship would probably remain stagnant at the current level for a long time, with little progress.

Moreover, many of the true meanings of swordsmanship also have something in common with other paths.

As far as spiritual practice is concerned, it is like a gentle rain that nourishes dry seedlings, which is of great help.

It was not until this moment that Yang Chen suddenly realized why the disciples of the big sects were often superior to the independent cultivators?

Firstly, there are abundant resources, and secondly, there is the master’s oral instruction and careful guidance, which are of paramount importance and indispensable!
……

Yang Chen and Ruan Yushu walked along the checkerboard-shaped streets of the capital, rushed to Xiaoxiang Tower, and met up with Meng Qi.

Luo Shengyi and Ge Huai'en took them into the backyard of the restaurant.

Luo Shengyi explained that he was waiting here because of the instructions from the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. At this time, the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's voice sounded:

"Main Quest 2 has begun. Quest Objective: Help Lu Guan regain the Emperor's trust and appoint him as a general and inspect his troops."

Luo Shengyi tells the background:
"Now, the Western Tartars have won and stationed their troops in the upper reaches of the Pei River. They have sent envoys to demand peace. The Emperor was so angry that he suffered a stroke and fell into a coma!"

Luo Shengyi said that the main task of the three of them was to gain the trust of the prince and prevent peace talks, and now they support the third prince.

"Do I need to support the prince's ascension to the throne to complete the mission?"

Ruan Yushu and Meng Qi both subconsciously looked at Yang Chen.
