Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

When Qianji Luosha saw that Huo Qiu Shui died with a smile, the pleasure he had just felt turned into anger, and he immediately raised the blade to chop off Huo Qiu Shui's head.

Just as he raised the knife, something crossed the space and went straight behind him.

Raising both swords, Qianji Luosha looked up as if he saw a huge lion biting at him, with sharp claws and fangs rubbing against the weapon. He was unable to resist the violent force for a while, and was knocked back a hundred meters away, all the way back to the entrance of Zhonghu Lake!

"who!"

"In today's Daxia, there are still people who don't recognize me?"

The owner of the voice walked out from in front of the Sword Saint, dressed in white in the darkness.

The lion leaped up from the ground and flew to his side, looking alive and not at all like a dead creature, and roared menacingly at Qianji Luosha.

Qianji Luosha carefully looked at the excessively young young man in white. There was no need to observe him from other aspects. Just this face was a signature feature wherever he went.

In Daxia, the name of this young man has long been well-known, because in the past year, his name can be heard everywhere.

"You are Bai Yujing, the Lord of Shen Ce Mansion." Qianji Luosha held the two swords and showed a bit of scrutiny: "Didn't you die in Luohou's hands?"

"I was just hit by Jidu's arrow." Bai Yu said calmly, "Being hit by an arrow and being shot to death are two different things."

"..."

Qianji Luosha wanted to sneer and say "you are being tough", but even a crazy man like him knew very well what Luohou's Jidu arrow meant.

In thousands of years, Bai Yu is the first person to survive Luohou!

And at that time, Bai Yu had not yet been canonized!

Not to mention that Bai Yu also killed three of the Ten Evils... Based on this alone, he is qualified to be regarded as an equally powerful person by any canonized saint.

"Are you planning to avenge Huo Qiushui?" Qianji Luosha asked calmly, "Or are you going to stop me from entering Zhonghu?"

"I don't have much friendship with Huo Qiushui... but he taught me swordsmanship." Bai Yu responded calmly: "This is Zhonghu Lake, not a place for people like you to run wild. You dare to kill people here, and you are a pillar of the country. Since I am the Lord of Shen Ce Mansion, I should enforce the laws of Da Xia. If you kill someone, you should be prepared to leave your life behind."

Qianji Luosha couldn't help but sneer: "The Sword Saint died in my hands, and you... are you qualified?"

"Every saint who died in my hands said so." Bai Yu reached out and touched the fur of the lion beside him: "Then, you want to try it too?"

The two sides have different positions and are not familiar with each other.

Not enough words to speculate.

They both had murderous intentions.

Bai Yu turned his head and called out, "Shadow Guard."

More than a dozen afterimages rushed out from all around, and the afterimages solidified into human figures in black clothes walking at night. They were also the people who secretly protected the safety of Zhonghu. Although their strength was impressive, they were not enough to compare with the canonized saints who were at the top of the Ten Evils.

"Send the body of the Sword Saint back to the Huo family." Bai Yu ordered.

Two shadow guards came out, lifted up the body of the Sword Saint and turned away.

The other Shadow Guards seemed to intend to stay and help.

Bai Yu said calmly: "Don't worry about the rest."

A shadow guard said: "Qianji Luosha is the third of the Ten Evils. He is fierce and violent. If we are willing to die, we may be able to create a chance for the Lord of Shen Ce Palace to win."

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "You guys staying here will only make things worse. He's not strong enough to make up for the difference with human lives. Besides... I'm stronger than him. I only need one strike to kill him."

More than a dozen shadow guards were silent for a few breaths and then retreated one after another.

Qianji Luosha narrowed his eyes and put a knife on his shoulder: "Did I hear you wrong? Are you going to kill me with a knife?"

"One knife." Bai Yu raised a finger.

"Bai Yujing, I respect you as a rising star, but even if you have been canonized, you should not be so rampant... I know that the gun-eating ghost died at your hands, and you are already the leader of the gun in this era! If you use a gun, I must be afraid of you."

Qianji Luosha laughed in anger: "But you plan to kill me with a knife? I have used two knives for decades, and now I have won the title of knife champion. You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. You don't know how many strokes the word death has!"

Bai Yu was too lazy to argue. He just stretched out his hand and pinched the phantom of the lion. The moment he held it with five fingers, the phantom of the lion disappeared, and he pulled out a knife from it... It was indeed not a spear, but a knife, a heavy knife that was heavy enough to slay a dragon.

Qianji Luosha stared at the flashy heavy sword with empty eyes, feeling even more contempt in his heart.

Just because in swordsmanship, the so-called heavy sword has long been eliminated.

Because it's not fast enough.

When one reaches the Martial Saint realm, attack overwhelms defense, so attack requires efficiency... Even if you hold a heavy sword, you may not be able to break the moves of a light sword. The old method of using force to defeat skill does not exist at the Martial Saint stage.

If you can really defeat a opponent with force, then using a heavy sword is worse than using a spear.

This is why Qianji Luosha said that if Bai Yu used a gun, he would be afraid.

Bai Yu is already the contemporary spear master. The fact that he was able to kill the gun-eating ghost proves that his spear skills have overwhelmed the latter in terms of offensive intensity.

The knife is not as effective as the gun in attack.

Qianji Luosha knew his own situation. He was not injured when he killed Huo Qiu Shui, but that was based on his understanding of the opponent's character and swordsmanship. This enabled him to carry out his attacks and break their moves in an orderly manner.

Everything was just as he had imagined.

But facing Bai Yujing, whose fighting ability is completely questionable, his chances of winning will certainly be much less solid than before.

In his heart, he actually wanted to back down.

Killing Huo Qiu Shui tonight would have fulfilled most of my wishes.

In the future, I will slowly attack Wusheng Pavilion and Huo Family...

It's okay to escape for now today.

The Ten Evils have long been infamous throughout the world, so why would Thousand Machine Rakshasa care about his own temporary reputation?

No matter how powerful Bai Yujing is, he can only protect the Wusheng Pavilion and a few people at most!

After all, he is only one person. How can he guard against thieves for a thousand days if he can only be a thief for a thousand days?

But now the situation is different.

Bai Yu actually showed a knife instead of a gun.

This gave Qianji Luosha a psychological suggestion that 'maybe I can kill another person to be canonized'.

Bai Yu won every battle, and the only time he was defeated was at the hands of Luohou. At that time, he was in high spirits, and his confidence must have been unprecedentedly inflated, even to the point of being so arrogant... But as the saying goes, arrogant soldiers come before a fall!

——This kid seemed to have just broken through to the sainthood not long ago. He was too confident in his own strength, so he had no idea at all.

Qianji Luosha secretly calculated that as long as the opponent used a knife and he could seize the opportunity first, he might be able to kill another saint in one fell swoop.

……

Zhonghu Villa.

The shadow guard appeared outside the courtyard and was about to report the situation.

"I already know the situation." The woman behind the screen sighed softly and said, "The Sword Saint sacrificed his life for Daxia. He has made great contributions and worked hard for the country. He should be buried with great ceremony. Send the body back to the Huo family. Instruct all departments to treat this matter with the highest courtesy and not neglect it."

The shadow guards retreated in response.

In the courtyard, an old man in Taoist robes with white hair and a youthful face sat under a tree, holding a chess piece in his hand, and said regretfully: "What a pity for this old friend."

If the speaker was seen by others, they would definitely be shocked.

Because this person is none other than the second among the top ten, Zhang Tianshi of the Taoist Xuan Sect.

The woman behind the screen said, "Huo Qiushui was a warrior. Even if he died by a sword, it was said in the martial arts world that he had a good death... He died with a smile on his face."

"He died with a smile on his face. It was indeed a good death... I think Bai Yujing made him feel so relieved. He knew there was someone to take over, so he had nothing to worry about." Zhang Tianshi stroked his beard and said, "This child is a good seedling, but he was a little impulsive."

"Young people, it's normal to be impulsive."

"It's just that I don't understand why Huo Qiu Shui lost to Qianji Luosha. Does your lord understand it?" Zhang Tianshi asked. He is a Qi cultivator, not a warrior, so there are always some parts that he doesn't understand clearly.

"Well, there isn't much mystery in it, because Qianji Luosha is a martial saint, and his peerless martial arts are always one step ahead of others."

"One step ahead?" Tianshi Zhang asked curiously, "Is it that simple?"

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step…If you are one step ahead of others, you are a thousand steps ahead.”

Zhang Tianshi understood immediately: "So that's why the Sword Saint was blocked before he could swing the third sword."

This unparalleled skill is extremely pure and simple.

It all comes down to one word – fast.

Be one step ahead, two steps ahead... and then ten steps, a hundred steps, a thousand steps ahead.

The continuously accumulated lead will eventually form a crushing pattern.

Therefore, in any battle between evenly matched forces, as long as he can seize the initiative, as long as he can be one step ahead... then this advantage will be continuously expanded, eventually forming a huge gap and an overwhelming victory.

The reason why the Sword Saint was defeated by Thousand Machine Rakshasa was because he was not fast enough.

In other words, he didn't make up the gap in the first few cuts.

In other words, he failed to establish victory before the gap widened.

Huo Qiu Shui's hard power must be above Qianji Luosha's, but in a one-on-one fight, Qianji Luosha has an absolute advantage, because as long as his two swords keep slashing, sooner or later he will be able to cut off the enemy's neck.

The Sword Saint understood the gap, so he swung his sword desperately to break the sword's force.

It takes three strikes to cross the river. The first two strikes are not enough to suppress the opponent, and there is no time to strike the third strike.

In a one-on-one equal confrontation, Qianji Luosha is almost invincible.

Zhang Tianshi said worriedly, "Can this little fellow from the Bai family really handle it? He's not even a martial arts saint, and he's not good at swordsmanship, right?"

A firm voice came from behind the screen.

"Since he was able to survive Luohou's hands, how could a mere Thousand Machines Rakshasa do anything to him?"

"The revenge of the Sword Saint must be taken, and now is the best time."

"I believe he would never do anything without certainty."

"He probably has figured out a way to crack it..."

"Since we said it would be a one-stroke fight, then this fight will definitely be decided by a one-stroke fight."

……

In front of the entrance to Zhonghu Lake, Bai Yu was holding a heavy Lionheart sword and dragging it along. The blade scraped across the cement, emitting countless sparks.

"Huo Qiushui lost to you."

"It's not because his swordsmanship is not strong enough."

"It's because his knife wasn't sharp enough."

"So... as long as I'm faster than the Sword Saint, I'll be able to kill you."

Chapter 877 You Don’t Know You’re Wrong, You Know You’re About to Die

The entrance to the lake.

Not long ago, this place witnessed the first change of the title of Sword Master in three hundred years, and soon after, it will continue to witness the second life-and-death battle.

There aren't many spectators here, and it can't accommodate too many people's attention.

After Bai Yu said "I just need to be faster than the Sword Saint", Qianji Luosha sneered in response.

The truth is this.

The formula is this.

But how many people can really do it?

The changes in martial arts change with the times, and there is never a single unique trick.

The reason why Martial Saints have short lives is not because they do not live as long as other saints, but because the strengths and weaknesses of Martial Saints are too obvious. Once they are over 200 years old, the spirit of a Martial Saint will continue to decline with age. Usually, a Martial Saint of 200 years old enters a state of retirement, no longer seeking fame or gain, his spirit dissipates, and his realm naturally declines.

After all, warriors always have some resentment in their hearts, and they need to maintain a competitive mentality... If they sit in the number one position in the world too early, it is easy to fall into a state of emptiness and stagnation because they have no goals.

This is how the sword art of the past declined.

As one of the Ten Evils, Qianji Luosha is not a legend like Huo Qiushui who has lived for more than two hundred years. His swordsmanship has only been used once, and outsiders have no way of knowing the various changes and mysteries involved. Because his swordsmanship has no fixed way of expression, it can be regarded as one of the swordsmanships with thousands of variations.

No fixed pattern means no fixed flaws.

He didn't take Bai Yu's big words to heart at all.

But Qianji Luosha was not careless. He took a serious attitude and changed to a unique starting stance. He bent down slightly and held both swords in a straight grip, with the two swords spread out on both sides of his body like wings on the left and right. (The straight grip is also called the ice cone grip, with the tip of the sword facing downwards, the wrist bent, and the blade fits against the forearm)

Bai Yu doesn't know how to use the sword, but if he masters one technique, he can master all techniques. He can see the starting posture clearly.
