Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

At this moment, Wu Ji was probably the most incomprehensible creature in the world. When his body suffered repeated setbacks and even the "Rakshasa Battle Armor" could not react in time to block the swords, his physical functions were enhanced again. "Soul Devouring" split into three sections, with the head and tail sections intersecting, and actually blocked the "Greedy Wolf" attacking from the front!

"electricity?"

Seeing the electric arcs dancing on "Greedy Wolf," Wu Ji instantly understood the secret behind the superhuman speed of "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade."

He remembered Li Xin mentioning something about magnetism and something else to him and Xiang Ying...

Thinking back to the long list of theories Li Xin had instilled in him when they were in the fighter jet, Wu Ji suddenly felt overwhelmed.

In short, there is some theory that can use electromagnetic force to increase the speed of an object to unimaginable levels. Wu Ji originally thought it was just some kind of strange and ingenious technique that could be used for transportation. He never expected that Li Xin could actually use this theory in actual combat!

Wu Ji parried "Greedy Wolf," but Li Xin suddenly attacked with "Heavenly Blade," forcing Wu Ji, who was deep in thought, to release "Greedy Wolf" and parry with his staff.

"Greedy Wolf" regained its freedom and immediately returned to Li Xin's hands. He once again had the sword and saber, which crackled with intense electric arcs. He unleashed the sword and saber simultaneously, slashing continuously at Wu Ji.

Compared to controlling swords with qi or blades with spirit, Li Xin's speed in wielding swords is actually much slower. However, with the swords in his hands, he can make more precise movements. Therefore, in close combat, "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" become more dangerous.

With a dagger in his left hand and a sword in his right, Li Xin's speed, propelled by electromagnetic force, reached the "super-speed realm," leaving Wu Ji struggling to dodge. Even so, Wu Ji still managed to say, "Is this what you called that theory before? You used it on the 'Divine Skill of Speed'? You're really something!"

"That's what they call 'Master math, physics, and chemistry, and you'll be able to go anywhere in the world without fear,' that's what my Party Secretary taught me!"

Li Xin continued his attack while speaking.

"Your Party Secretary is really something!"

Wu Ji raised his staff to catch Li Xin's sword and blade strikes, and Li Xin said, "Thank you for the compliment!"

Driven by electromagnetic force, Li Xin's strength increased once again, actually suppressing Wu Ji.

Suddenly sensing something, Wu Ji mustered his strength to blast Li Xin away, stood with his staff in hand, and said to Li Xin, "Again!"

Li Xin nodded and said to Wu Ji, "Alright!"

After saying that, Li Xin attacked again, but this time, Wu Ji seemed to have the ability to foresee the future. Every time Li Xin's super-fast attack landed, he was able to intercept and block it in advance with "Soul Devouring", and then use his super-fast counterattack to knock back his own power and Li Xin's power together.

Although Li Xin was able to dodge, he felt frustrated after a few attempts and couldn't help but ask, "You figured it out?"

Wu Ji smiled slightly: "What do you think?"

Seeing Wu Ji's reaction, Li Xin knew that Wu Ji had indeed seen through the mystery of his move.

His move was powered by electromagnetic propulsion, making it extremely fast. However, even with Li Xin's reaction speed, it was difficult to control. To make it easier to operate, Li Xin first used his true energy to condense an invisible and intangible "guide rail". The swords moved along the "guide rail", so they could hit exactly where they were pointed, maintaining superhuman speed without losing precision.

The idea of ​​condensing true energy into a "guide rail" is absolutely unthinkable to other martial artists, but for Li Xin, who possesses both the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" and the "Mastery of the Root of All Laws Wisdom Scripture," this impossible thing can be turned into a possibility.

Originally, this move was foolproof, but for some reason, Wu Ji discovered the true energy that Li Xin had placed around him, thus seeing the landing point of Li Xin's move and breaking Li Xin's surprise move before anyone else could react.

"I didn't want it to be like this, but now it seems I have no choice..."

Li Xin took a deep breath. The constant strengthening of Wu Ji made him feel immense pressure, so he had no choice but to bring out his trump card, which he had been reluctant to use.

"Bring on all your tricks!"

Seeing that Li Xin had another trick up his sleeve, Wu Ji could not hide his excitement and felt his blood boiling.

Having fought Li Xin for so long, he has received so many pleasant surprises. He is extremely glad that he chose Li Xin as his final opponent. If it were anyone else, he would never have been able to enjoy it so much.

"Then you'd better use your body to feel it properly!"

Li Xin held a sword, and electric arcs crackled around his body like "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade." The arcs did not wrap around the surface of his body, but rather overflowed from within it.

Wu Ji's eyelids twitched, only to see Li Xin rush over at almost instantaneous speed, slashing down with a blade whose power and speed were astonishing!

In an instant, Li Xin unleashed thousands of slashes and sword strikes, the swords and blades dancing in unison, the sky and sea seemingly neatly sliced ​​into countless pieces. If it weren't for the barrier set up by the "Saint," the overflowing damage would have caused an unimaginable catastrophe.

If the force leaking from swords and blades is already so terrifying, then how should a martial artist who directly faces this move respond?

With such a swift and ruthless attack, Wu Ji countered with "Heavenly Soul Devouring". Before the first attack could even rebound, two attacks had already arrived, leaving Wu Ji no time to retaliate.

What takes a single breath feels like an eternity to Wuji.

Enduring repeated attacks that were so heavy they were indescribable and so fast they were unbelievable, Wu Ji's arm went numb, and for the first time in his life, he felt that the "Soul Eater" in his hand was so heavy.

With a "shush," the Soul Devourer was released from Li Xin's hand and sent flying. Li Xin then placed his sword against Wu Ji's neck and said to Wu Ji, "You've lost."

As the electric arc subsided, Li Xin's face turned extremely pale, and he even began to pant heavily, a rare occurrence for him.

The human body cannot be accelerated using the theory of Lorentz magnetism, but it can use electric current to stimulate the nerves and muscles, allowing various bodily functions to exceed their original limits.

With this technique, Li Xin was able to bring his body to the "super speed realm." The only drawback was that it was difficult to maintain for long. After a period of time, he had to dissipate the electric current and nourish his body with "Mingyu True Qi." Otherwise, even Li Xin's "near-divine foundation" body would not be able to withstand the long-term overload.

Wu Ji's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't think so!"

Li Xin pressed down with his sword, unleashing a double burst of power. The force was strong enough to destroy a continuous mountain range, but the "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" only managed to penetrate half an inch into Wu Ji's body before they could not go any deeper. Instead, large cracks appeared, as if they would shatter at any moment.

"What a pity..."

Wu Ji said quietly, "What a powerful 'Speed ​​Divine Skill,' and that's your weapon..."

Although "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" are divine weapons, they are ultimately far inferior to "Soul Devourer," which is forged from "Evil God Bones."

It was fine when Li Xin's internal energy protected them during the previous battle, but the "Speed ​​Divine Skill" uses electromagnetic force to propel these two weapons, which can be described as only seeking to kill and having no protection at all. Under such circumstances, when they fought head-on with "Soul Devourer", "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" were naturally overwhelmed.

"I admit that your two divine skills are incredibly powerful. It is truly a pity that I was able to defeat you in terms of weaponry this time!"

With a powerful shudder, the swords shattered, and these two divine weapons, which had once followed the pillars of the righteous path of the Central Plains martial arts world and defended the Central Plains martial arts world through countless battles, finally broke apart.

Li Xin was taken aback, but quickly recovered and said, "Even without 'Greedy Wolf' and 'Heavenly Blade', you will still be defeated!"

As he spoke, the "Wedding Dress True Qi," "Bright Jade True Qi," and "Wind and Cloud True Qi" within Li Xin's body all transformed into an unprecedentedly sharp sword aura.

If you have no sword in your hand, then use your fingers as a sword!

Li Xin raised his sword and, attracted by the sword energy, the shattered fragments of "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" gathered around him.

At the same time, the howling wind in the sky, the surging waves on the sea, and even the sea fish that jumped out of the water due to the abnormality of the sea surface, all became part of the sword and became Li Xin's help.

Outside the barrier, as the battle between Li Xin and Wu Ji intensified, all the extraordinary experts watching the battle had to retreat outside the barrier. Fortunately, the "Saint's" barrier only blocked those energy attacks and waves, and did not prevent living beings from entering or leaving. Otherwise, they might have had to stay inside and enjoy Li Xin's sword and blade energy.

Kanzaki Kaori had just breathed a sigh of relief after exiting the barrier when she suddenly sensed an immense and boundless sword aura emanating from within it, which made her, a fellow swordswoman, feel a chill run down her spine.

This is……

Before she could discern the origin of the sword energy, the sword "Seven Days and Seven Nights" at her waist suddenly emitted a series of sword cries and flew out of its sheath on its own. Kanzaki Kaori was greatly startled and quickly grabbed the hilt of "Seven Days and Seven Nights" and pressed it back in.

Even though the master tried to stop it, "Seven Days and Seven Nights" was still shaking violently and wanted to fly into the barrier. Its power was so great that if Kanzaki Kaori were not a "Saint", even an ordinary special-grade genius would probably not be able to hold it down!

Konoe Wing-chun and other extraordinary warriors wielding weapons encountered the same situation. They all sensed that their weapons, which were once in sync with their own, had developed a different mind and were no longer in sync with them. They all wanted to fly into the barrier where sword energy soared into the sky.

Inside the barrier, Li Xin's sword energy had accumulated to its peak. He thrust out his sword finger, unleashing thousands of sword energies.

"All Swords Return to Their Origin!"

Upon regaining his "Soul Devouring" technique, Wu Ji saw the sword energy formed from all things in heaven and earth. He placed "Soul Devouring" in front of him to defend against it. However, his "Heavenly Soul Devouring" technique could only block one, two, ten, or a hundred sword energies. How could he possibly defend against these thousands upon thousands... no, endless sword energies?

In an instant, Wuji was engulfed by the sword energy of "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin", and "Heavenly Soul Devouring", it broke!

Chapter 764 Fighting for Life

Outside the barrier, the Thunder Blade on Xiang Ying's back was also buzzing. However, unlike other weapons that were "disloyal" to their masters, the Thunder Blade was excited and eager to fight such a powerful enemy!

Xiang Ying gently stroked Lei Dao and said to it, "Just wait, we'll fight him sooner or later!"

He may not be up to par yet, but one day he will stand before the one who unleashed this sword energy and fight him fairly. It's just a pity he can't settle things with another opponent...

Thinking of this, Xiang Ying couldn't help but feel regretful again.

Inside the barrier, the sword energy subsided, and the sky and sea returned to calm. Li Xin took a deep breath and said to Wu Ji, who was floating face up on the sea, "Now you're convinced of your defeat, aren't you?"

Wu Ji closed his eyes and concentrated, seemingly not hearing Li Xin's voice. Li Xin couldn't help but speak again: "Have you submitted yet?"

"Dissatisfied!"

Wu Ji suddenly opened his eyes, rose from the water, and the "Soul Devourer" reappeared in his hand. He said to Li Xin, "Let's fight again!"

With the Rakshasa Battle Armor broken, his proud "Heavenly Soul Devouring" technique was also utterly defeated under the onslaught of the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin" sword energy. From any perspective, Wu Ji had already lost. If it were in the past, he would have readily admitted defeat and gone back to seclusion to train hard, waiting to fight again later.

But now... he's out of time!

It's past midnight tonight, and there are only seven days left until his "27-day deadline." If he admits defeat now, he will never be able to win back!

"If we fight again, will you still have the strength?"

Li Xin asked.

Wu Ji was utterly defeated.

While the "Twenty-Seven Great Limit" could make him infinitely stronger, it did not mean that his physical strength and energy were also infinite. He and Li Xin had been fighting for twelve hours since noon, and he had been mentally tense and had been continuously using "Heavenly Soul Devouring" to resist the "Speed ​​Divine Skill". His physical strength and energy had reached their limit.

Li Xin sighed and said to Wu Ji, "Actually, I went to the Great Rakshasa Sect before the duel."

Wu Ji was shocked and couldn't help but look at Li Xin.

Li Xin continued, "I met your ancestor and asked him about the 'Twenty-Seven Great Limit,' hoping to find out if there was a way to break it."

"have a finger in the pie!"

Wu Ji snorted coldly.

Perhaps to others, the "27-year limit" is a terrible curse, but Wu Ji doesn't think so. Instead, he feels it is a urging for him not to waste his limited time on other things, but to focus more on his martial arts practice.

The Great Rakshasa Sect is the strongest force in Central Asia, dominating the region for over two thousand years. Its history is even longer than that of the Christian Church. In addition to the "Rakshasa Divine Skill," the sect also possesses other profound martial arts, including a peerless skill that is no less powerful than the "Rakshasa Divine Skill" and has no side effects.

Moreover, when Wu Ji was born, the situation faced by the Great Rakshasa Sect was very different from that a hundred years ago, and it was much more stable. It was not necessarily necessary for Wu Ji to cultivate the "Rakshasa Divine Skill" to deter external forces.

However, given the availability of other options, Wu Ji resolutely chose the "Rakshasa Divine Skill," a path he voluntarily chose.

ten thousand years is too long, fight for now!

To reach the pinnacle of martial arts, one must have a steadfast mind and be single-minded. As for the length of time... "If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening," he didn't care.

Ignoring Wu Ji's hostile attitude, Li Xin continued, "Your ancestor said that if you were practicing the Rakshasa Divine Art in its early stages, there might still be hope. But you are now approaching your '27th Great Limit,' and even a near-god level expert could not save you."

Wu Ji remained silent, and there was no need for him to say anything; this was his own choice.

Li Xin continued, "Your ancestor also said that you have been obsessed with reading the notes of your ancestors since you were a child. You especially admire and respect one of your ancestors, the leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect, and always take him as your role model. You are particularly fascinated by the notes of that ancestor's duel with an unparalleled enemy."

"So what?"

Wu Ji countered with a question.

“If you just want to emulate your ancestors, then this is enough.”

Li Xin versus Wuji Dao.

Wu Ji laughed: "Imitate our ancestors? No, you're wrong!"

With a serious expression, Wu Ji said to Li Xin, "I admire my ancestor greatly, but I envy him even more! I envy that he could fight a powerful enemy with absolute strength, one that would make him risk everything! In the past hundred years, the closer each sect leader of our Great Rakshasa Sect got to the '27th Great Limit,' the less people dared to challenge them. When they went to challenge others, those people all retreated, afraid of getting involved with them."

"I know, it's because our Great Rakshasa Sect Masters all die young. Nobody wants to fight a short-lived person. There's no benefit in winning, and it's even more pointless to lose."

"So many generations of sect leaders of my Great Rakshasa Sect have possessed astonishing power but had nowhere to use it, and could only die with endless regrets on their twenty-seventh birthday. I don't want that. I don't want to die so humiliatingly and unwillingly!"

Wu Ji said in a deep voice.

Li Xin fell silent. So this was the real reason why Wu Ji was so obsessed with dueling. It wasn't imitation; he made the decision based on his own will.

Having figured this out, Li Xin created floating ice beneath his feet. He sat cross-legged on the ice and said to Wu Ji, "Alright, I'm tired too. Let's take a break and continue fighting when it's dawn... no, noon."

Wu Ji looked at Li Xin in surprise and said to Li Xin, "Thank you."

After saying that, he jumped onto the ice floe where Li Xin was sitting, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate his internal energy to recover.

"Hey, if you want to find a place to sit, find your own way. You're the one who shattered 'Hellfire Island,' and now you're trying to freeload off my ice? Don't you have any shame?!"

Li Xin urged him on, but Wu Ji was already fully focused on recovering, so he pretended not to hear what Li Xin said.

Unable to deal with this shameless fellow, Li Xin could only sigh and silently recover his strength while digesting the gains from this battle.

It wasn't just Wu Ji who repeatedly surpassed his limits under the influence of the "Twenty-Seven Great Limit"; Li Xin also broke through his limits time and time again under the pressure of Wu Ji. His two divine skills were only in their infancy before, and they were only continuously improved and matured during his battle with Wu Ji.

The two stopped fighting and rested, leaving the extraordinary experts watching from outside the barrier somewhat bewildered. What was going on? Was the fight over?

"I understand, they're fighting with their minds!"

A martial arts master said, "I've heard that battles between top experts involve not only physical clashes but also mental battles."

"Isn't that how we mages fight? You warriors know how to do that too?"

A highly skilled mage asked curiously.

"Martial arts, when practiced to its fullest extent, are no different from magic, so it should be possible."

Even that extraordinary expert wasn't entirely sure.

"cut!"
