Chapter 29: Drawing Sword Technique Reaches Perfection, Saber Momentum Comprehended!
“Drawing Sword Technique has actually reached Minor Accomplishment?”
Ji Qing drew his sword from the scabbard. He did not use Thirteen Fast Blades, nor did he use Hundred Battles Saber Technique.
But merely “drawing the sword,” his saber speed was still very fast.
The so-called Drawing Sword Technique was actually instantly bursting out Internal Energy, using Internal Energy to propel saber speed, maximizing the saber’s speed in that instant of drawing!
Merely Minor Accomplishment, and the saber speed was already extremely terrifying.
However, Drawing Sword Technique had one flaw: it only had the power of a single strike.
Once the Draw Sword Slash was executed and failed to kill the enemy, he himself would be in danger.
“Drawing Sword Technique has great flaws, but also great advantages. If the flaws can be compensated for, combining Drawing Sword Technique with my Thirteen Shocking Blades…”
Ji Qing had very high expectations for Drawing Sword Technique.
“Great Hero Li.”
At this time, urgent knocking sounded from outside the door.
Ji Qing opened the Great Door of the Library. Lie Yingniang was standing outside.
Lie Yingniang’s face was flushed red, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
“Great Hero Li, news just came in: Li Tianyang has accepted the Challenge Letter and set the time and place—tomorrow at noon, at the Tian Yang Gang Arena. Moreover, he has widely invited fellow Jianghu members to witness.”
Lie Yingniang had been waiting for this day for a long time!
Ji Qing nodded.
“What exactly is Li Tianyang’s martial arts like?”
Ji Qing asked aloud.
Li Tianyang had great reputation in An Yang City. As the Tian Yang Gang Gang Leader, he was extremely proficient in Palm Technique, Fist Technique, and Sword Technique.
He had single-handedly established the Tian Yang Gang in An Yang City with his martial arts, dominating one side!
These pieces of news could be easily inquired about.
But Ji Qing was not very clear on Li Tianyang’s specific martial arts.
Lie Yingniang must be very clear about Li Tianyang.
Now that he was about to face Li Tianyang, Ji Qing also wanted to know himself and the enemy to ensure no mishaps.
Lie Yingniang took a deep breath upon hearing this, calming her excited emotions, and said solemnly: “Although Li Tianyang betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors, betrayed his sect, and even killed my father, purely in terms of martial arts, I have to say he is indeed a martial arts prodigy, with martial arts superior to my father’s!”
“Among Li Tianyang’s many martial arts, he is most proficient in Sword Technique. His Sword Technique actually fuses Hundred Battles Saber and many third-rate Sword Techniques, taking the strengths from various schools. The Sword Technique is flexible and ever-changing, capable of both attack and defense, not confined to sword moves, and can be said to excel in both offense and defense.”
“Back then, my father used Hundred Battles Saber Technique and could fight Li Tianyang on equal terms at the start, but after ten moves, he gradually fell into a disadvantage, and after thirty moves, he was defeated by Li Tianyang’s hand, severely wounded by Li Tianyang’s sword. He passed away a few hours after the match…”
“Great Hero Li, your saber is indeed very fast, but Li Tianyang may not necessarily be unable to block it. Once he blocks it…”
Lie Yingniang did not continue.
Ji Qing also understood Lie Yingniang’s meaning.
“Alright, I understand.”
Lie Yingniang left, leaving only Ji Qing alone in the Library.
“Li Tianyang is no weakling. Among second-rate Martial Artists, Li Tianyang should be very strong!”
“Fusing the strengths of various schools to create his own Sword Technique…”
Ji Qing was very clear that Li Tianyang could be considered the strongest Martial Artist he had encountered so far!
Big Sister Lei Yu was also a second-rate Martial Artist and from a major Jianghu sect, but in terms of talent, she probably was not as good as Li Tianyang.
This was one who had slowly killed his way out from the grassroots with one punch, one kick, one saber, one sword.
With Ji Qing’s current martial arts, he was confident he feared no second-rate Martial Artist.
But he still did not have absolute certainty.
So, he had to add points!
Originally, Ji Qing had planned to save two Origin Points to add to his Internal Energy later.
But tomorrow was the Arena Death Match. Once on the arena, anything could happen.
Ji Qing did not want any accidents.
So, he could only add points.
Just in time, Drawing Sword Technique had reached Minor Accomplishment and could be directly upgraded to Perfection.
Once Drawing Sword Technique fused with Thirteen Shocking Blades, Ji Qing’s strength would definitely surge.
“Drawing Sword Technique, elevate to Perfection!”
As the two Origin Points disappeared, scenes emerged in Ji Qing’s mind.
He practiced Drawing Sword Technique day after day for years.
Drawing the sword time and again, improving time and again, elevating time and again.
Gradually, his Drawing Sword Technique reached Major Accomplishment.
But Major Accomplishment was not the end.
Ji Qing continued practicing Drawing Sword Technique, as if trying to comprehend something from it. He had a flash of insight but could not grasp it.
After reaching Major Accomplishment, Ji Qing always felt that Drawing Sword Technique was missing something.
Suddenly one day, as Ji Qing practiced Drawing Sword Technique again, gripping the hilt and calming his mind.
He felt the surroundings suddenly become quiet.
He seemed to hear the wind, the chirping of insects, and even the wind slapping against the scabbard, causing the scabbard to vibrate slightly.
Ji Qing even felt the saber in his hand come “alive.”
An intangible momentum gradually rose from him.
When this momentum reached its peak.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing drew his sword.
The saber emerged with earth-shattering might, brilliant blade light slashing through the void.
Clearly still Major Accomplishment Drawing Sword Technique, but its might instantly surged.
“Drawing Sword Technique Perfection: Your Drawing Sword Technique has reached the acme of perfection. You have comprehended Accumulating Momentum! When you grip the saber, you accumulate a momentum, an unstoppable momentum, a momentum that cleaves through all!”
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing opened his eyes.
“Drawing Sword Technique has reached Perfection? This time, the comprehension is… Accumulating Momentum?”
Ji Qing gently gripped the hilt.
Instantly, the momentum on Ji Qing changed.
He seemed to transform into a saber, an extremely sharp saber that could unsheathe at any moment!
This momentum was based on the mind.
But its effect would undoubtedly be very good.
Opponents would more or less be affected by the “momentum.”
Even if the momentum was strong enough, merely releasing Saber Momentum could subdue the enemy without fighting, intimidating the opponent and making them dare not act.
Actually, many people in life have momentum.
For example, high-ranking officials.
Or princes and nobles, etc.
They accumulate a “prestige” over time in high positions, which is actually “momentum.”
However, they find it hard to control their momentum themselves.
Ji Qing was different.
He had comprehended “Saber Momentum.”
As long as he had a saber, he had Saber Momentum and could use this Saber Momentum to suppress opponents.
“Drawing Sword Technique has reached Perfection. It can be combined with Thirteen Shocking Blades, fused into one, forming a new Saber Technique…”
Fusing Saber Techniques did not require Origin Points.
Ji Qing had every Saber Technique at Perfection.
He had complete mastery, so he could naturally fuse them.
Moreover, the two Saber Techniques complemented each other perfectly. Drawing the sword from the scabbard was already fast enough, and then executing Thirteen Shocking Blades midway would be equivalent to accelerating the saber speed further.
At that time, how fast would Ji Qing’s Saber Technique be?
In the world of martial arts, only speed breaks all!
This was not empty talk.
If encountering Martial Artists with strong defenses or thick-skinned demons, Ji Qing still had Shocking Force.
His saber focused on speed, but it was not just speed; it also had tremendous power!
“Fusing three Saber Techniques into one, it needs a new name.”
“This Saber Technique can also be considered my self-created Saber Technique fusing the strengths of various schools. From the moment of gripping the saber, it is equivalent to drawing the saber, pursuing extreme saber speed, like an astonishing swan… Then let’s call it Astonishing Swan Saber!”
Ji Qing immediately checked the information on the Demon Record.
Ji Qing: Second-Rank Martial Artist
Supreme Yang Pure Origin Art: Perfection（ Supreme Yang Internal Energy, Internal Energy Burst Three-Tenths Amplification, Internal Energy Purification）
Astonishing Swan Saber: Perfection（ Signature Move First Line of Sky, Shocking Force, Accumulating Momentum）
Grass on Flying: Perfection（ Signature Move Borrowing Strength from the Void）
Origin Points: 0 points
“Astonishing Swan Saber…”
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Ji Qing’s mouth, and he then gently shook his head.
Perhaps he wouldn’t even need to use Astonishing Swan Saber tomorrow…
