He looks like a diving eagle, his palms outstretched and the sound of dragon roaring could be heard
The wind went mad, the space distorted, a powerful heat seems to emanate out of Li Xin palm
‘HAH!’ he screams as he unleashes the palm strike to the ground, his white robe flutters like there is raging wind around him, his hair waves wildly in the air, the heat around him seems to condense and distorted space.
As he unleashes the second stroke, the ground which is of six feet distance from his position in the air depressed three inches deep below and just right before LI Xin falls down to the ground, he changes his direction and landed gracefully back in the original position before he jumped
He looks at the ground in the distance and he frowned
‘I lack a bit of the forceful inner energy’
Even though he had recover most of his inner energy earlier, he notices that this second stroke requires great internal strength.
‘I have a doubt’ he said to himself.
He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath but even though he seems calms, his inner energy seems to be boiling and then he suddenly makes a move and the wind roars beside him
He then suddenly uses the first stroke The Dragon is Seen in the Fields, the sound of roaring echoes all around, the palm thrusted forward, the force flew straight.
His palm in in the direction of one of the tree.
In front of the tree is the wooden fence that Li Xin had built. The moment that palm un leashes a force toward that direction, the fence split into two.
In that brief second, it bended, breaks and splits into two, flying in two separate directions.
The tree behind the fence on the other hand exploded like someone had applied great pressure on the middle of the tree trunk.
The area in the middle of that tree exploded, the top falls down, the force continues forward, causing the dry leave sin the ground near the tree to spirals forward and there is a vague outline shape of a dragon formed
Li Xin eyes shines as he could feel the energy in his palm, and he could feel that the momentum of his attack is about to dissipate.
The moment it was about to dissipate; Li Xin quickly changes the stance to prepare for the second move.
he kicks the ground; the force is even more powerful than before. The ground instantly cracks and depressed one feet deep.
He leaps in the air higher than before, the momentum that was about to dissipate had returned and returned even stronger
He executed the second move, the Dragon Soars in the Sky, his palm pointing downward, the ground beneath crack, exploded into pieces, the one feet radius of the area depressed two feet forward, the ripple of energy seems to spread out and then he landed back in his original position.
He then looks at the destruction that he had just wrought
‘This skill is really made to destroy things. Like a wild dragon unleash, bringing destruction wherever it roars’ he thought to himself.
There is a reason why he just executed the two strokes. He wanted to confirm something. And his suspicions are proven correct.
‘It is just as I thought’ he said to himself.
He notices that as he chains this two moves, even though he uses a bit more inner energy than before, the force and power of the two strokes seems to multiplied with each other.
What is important however is to make sure that before the moment tum of the previous attack dissipated, quickly use the other strokes.
‘Chain the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and it would be an unstoppable and invincible palm skill’ he thought to himself while smiling
But he also understood that if the strokes of attack are interrupted, then he could not chain the attack and as such, the full power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm could not be shown.
But it requires a powerful skill to try to stop the stroke of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm but the he remember his own sword skill.
The One Sword.
The Twin Dragon Soaring Sword, is one of the swordplay of the One Sword
The Twin Dragon Soaring Sword is basically just like Zhou Botong Skill of Ambidexterity. A different set of sword skill could be used by two swords for each hand
In actual fights, he could use this skill to simultaneously attack and defend against multiple opponents and is even able to create doppelgänger illusions purely from the blazing speed and confusing movements of two styles used simultaneously.
If he faces himself and using the Twin Dragon Soaring Sword against the Eighteen Dragon Subduing palm, even though he could not compare in comparison of the destructive power, he could break the chain if he tries hard enough
‘It is wise not to underestimate this world’ he thought to himself. There is still a lot of things he needs to learn and understand.
But, he is sure that if he truly masters the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm could probably break the moves of Twin Dragon Soaring Sword.
Right now he had mastered two of the stroke. He of course could not stop there. He looks at the stroke The Swan Descends Gracefully [Beginner rank] and he immediately use another 560 points to raise it to grandmaster rank
His eyes shine brightly and he could feel power rushing all over his body
Information streamed right into his mind and his mind could immediately understand the reason why it is called the Swan Descend Gracefully.
It meant to seize to seize opportunity whenever it may come, in whatever form it may surface as.
This palm skill would attack any mistake, never letting go any advantage.
"The Swan Descend Gracefully" simply suggests that upon the return of the geese flock to land, their plumes may be utilized by the womenfolk for decorative purposes.
‘Seize opportunity’ Li Xin thought to himself and he smiles.
He began making his move, this time he did not use his inner energy and instead just executing the moves without stimulating Qi.
The moment he executes it he could immediately tell that this stroke emphasizes on the importance of taking advantage of the enemy mistake.
He should bear in mind the importance of keeping an eye for opportunity, perhaps a moment of weakness in an adversary.
This stroke teaches one to seek out coincidental opportunity and seize it, hence gaining the upper-hand and ultimately, victory.
His inner energy is still very much drained so he did not use any of his inner energy but he performed all three strokes and he could feel the smoothness of transition between each strokes and Li Xian knew he had found the method.
He then slowly and gradually returns to the original stance, put his hand on the side and lower it down from the chest, like some kind of breathing exercise.
When the hand is put down, he felt relaxed and the swelling on is hand and the heat is his body is not as intense as it was before
Li Xin look at his points and sighed.
‘I could use this martial skill points to raise up a lot of things but…haish.’ He thought to himself. Now, that he learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm he knows how terrifying this palm skill really is.
He could rely on this to survive in Jianghu. But it really is a point devouring skill.
‘Still, if I uses my aptitude to try to master this skill, who knows how many years it would take me unless I am really a genius’
The thing is Li Xin knows that he is not a genius.
Without the system, Li Xin really thinks the only way for him to survive in this world is either to run far away from the Central Plains or become a merchant.
He could also become an inventor.
Even though his mind is not full of architectural blueprints nor does he have extensive knowledge in all things technology, there are some concepts that if introduced could truly propel civilization.
But since he has the system he could ignore those two paths and instead focused on martial arts.
He knows he should stop now and focus on other skill but once he started feeling the prowess and might of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, it is really hard to stop
‘Ah, screw it!’ he muttered to himself.
He looks at another stroke of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm the Diving into the Abyss [Beginner rank]
Once again he uses 560 skill points to rank it up to grandmaster rank.
The information once again enters his mind.
By now, Li Xin finally began feeling a bit more discomfort around his head.
But, he fought through it and the essence of this stroke is finally understood by him. The stroke is name after one of the great classic texts by Zhou Yi.
Diving into the Abyss.
A dragon which leaps into the abyss is akin to a great person who decides to partake in a course of activity, implying a sense of awe-inspiring presence and suggestively, resulting in great achievement.
Li Xin moves again this time one by one the strokes are executed. Like before he did not use any inner energy.
As such the movement is not as explosive.
>>
The Dragon is Seen in the Fields, The Dragon Soars in the Sky, The Swan Descends Gracefully and finally Diving into the AbyssThe stroke for the Diving into Abyss, it is a stroke that overpower the opponentOverpowering one's opponent is an important criterion in battle.The martial artist that learns the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and uses this stroke, through his presence and awe, will be able to invoke fear and submission in an adversary. Therefore, half the battle is already won even before it takes place.Li Xin then takes a break. Instead of going back to his lazy chair he sat down on the open space of the yard and takes a deep breath.He did not realize it when he was doing all of those movement but his entire body is sweating.He even smells a bit. Just not long ago, he takes a bath. This time his ranking up is even more intense than before.No doubt that this has something to do with the skill that he had ranked up. The Ei
He shakes his head trying to push it all from his mind.‘It is better to regain back my inner energy’ he thought to himself.He continues regulating his inner energy and throws out any useless thoughts.His chest heaved up and down and in fifteen minutes, he had raises a bit of his inner energy.Li Xin opens his eyes and shakes his head‘This is too terrible. My inner energy skill is too terrible’ he thought to himself. Of course, he did not expect that five minutes would restore all of his inner skill.But he could feel that there is only a bit of inner energy that have been restored. He did not even expect one forth.But it is less than that. He almost drained all thirty years of his inner energy. All he could restore is around five days of inner energy.‘Haish’ he could only sigh at the effect‘Still- ‘he said as he looks at the status window of the Eighteen Dragon Subdu
‘I am impatient to leave this forest and enter Jianghu. I could not care less about who else in the mountain. All I care about right now is accumulating points!’ he grumbles under his breath.He of course had the idea of searching that person who attacked him from behind.But thinking about it again, why does he have to do it?His objective after all is not to seek that person.Of course, he could probably get a quest if he began searching for that person but if he comes down the mountain and interact with the people in Jianghu, he would also get quest.And probably it is less dangerous. Li Xin is not a coward. After all, with his skill, he also had confidence.But, is it worth his time?As long as that person did not attack him or hinder him, Li Xin do not have the time. And was there any need to create enmity‘Wait a minute?’ That person already created enmity with him by throwing that needle. Bu
As for upgrading the rank or buying new skill, he decided to do it in the evening or at night. He would let his mind rest for a bit. He already has too much information poured into his mind and he ought to take it slow a bit.It seems that his mental energy is not that strong yet.He swipes the status window with his hand and then he enters back his house. He then eats some snack made of meat something like a beef jerky.This time he did not want to bathe in the tub.The sun is shining bright overhead so he wanted to swim in the river. There is a small stream of river, deep enough for him to submerged himself and large enough for him to swim aroundThe ancient world seems to be more hospitable to life.The air is so clear that just by inhaling it, his headache feel a bit lightened. If this is a normal headache, he would surely be cured of it in just a couple of minute.Maybe, it is also because this world is a bit different than his w
Even though, he is quite sure that person could not overpowered him, he always errs on the side of caution.He knows nothing about that person and actually there is not that much of an enmity between themIt would be different however if he seeks that person and then clashed with that person.Then whatever secrets that person is trying to cover up would be uncovered and as such, the inevitable conclusion is that they probably would have to fight each other till deathOf course like most of his thought this is the scenario he had think of in his mind.he is still anxious on whether he could survive in this world. There is still so many things he doesn’t knowThere are still many things that needs to be strengthened for him to truly be confident in walking in Jianghu. Right now, he only had four martial art skill.He had two swordplay skill which is the Sixteen Moves Swordplay and the One Sword swordplay. Of the two, one of them i
Zhu Wen is someone that Li Xin wanted to meet and stop. He wanted to see whether he could really change the future.It is ironic especially when he thinks of Zhu Wen, who is also called Zhu Quanzhong. When Zhu captured Tong prefecture in Shaanxi, he submitted to Huang Chao during the Huang Chao rebellion.When Huang Chao captured Chang’an many had submitted, but they soon reverted to the Tang court once these people realized that the cause was not yet lostBy 882 Huang Chao was effectively surrounded, controlling only two prefectures outside Chang'an, one of which was Zhu Wen's Tong Prefecture.It is at this time that Zhu Wen now found the time opportune to change sides.After first assassinating his military overseer Yan Shi sent by Huang Chao to guard against just such a possibility, Zhu Wen surrendered to the Hezhong Circuit military governor Wang ChongrongAs reward for his timely defection Emperor Xizong appointed Zhu Wen Gr
He keeps patrolling sometimes jumping over trees or gliding down from hills or soaring upwards.He heard the chirping of the birds and the songs of nature.Like the day before, he thought that today would be another boring day but then as he passes a tree, he suddenly stopped.His sudden stop had dispersed the pressure and impact of the energy on his foot to the breach. The branch breaks and exploded but Li Xin expertly somersaulted in the air and then landed gracefully on the ground. He ran back the distance and then look toward left.There is a stream of water rushing and then there is a tree not far from that stream of water.Li Xin saw a woman there, leaning on the tree, appearing to be unconscious.‘Hell! Zhou Qingxuan!’ Li Xin could not believe himself. This gambit of him really worksBut before he could walk suddenly there is something that appears in front of his eyes. It is the quest notification<
He was about to grab her body and put it behind his back but as he touched her he could feel cold all over.‘What!’ he exclaimed in his heartThat cold nearly enter his body but Li Xin Yang meridian block the entry and Li Xin quickly circulated his inner energy to dispel the cold that was about to invade his body.His other hand was holding Zhou Qingxuan right hand and on this area, Li Xin felt a powerful and violent Yang energy is about to ravage his meridian and this time Li Xin Yin meridian block the entry and like before Li Xin circulates his inner energy to drive the violent energy from his body.He jumps backward from Qingxuan body and then raise his palm and then thrust both of his palm to the side.The left hand shoot toward the left, the right hand shoot toward the right, the sound of a roaring dragon shakes the trees and the ground exploded.The soil flew upwards as dust fills the surrounding.The dust settles an
This sigh is because he once felt such feeling.Even though it is now hazy, Li Xin remembers that when he active the One Sword technique, there is that feeling that everywhere his sword pointed, the surrounding area is under his control.None of the sword of the enemy could touch him and none of their attack could even reach himIn that moment, he is the sword and wherever he pointed is the area of death.Everyone is waiting for Dugu Qingfeng to make his move.Everyone is paying attention because those who came here who have deep attainment in martial arts know that a battle between masters does not take so long.When they strike, they have the confidence to win in that one strike. If this is sparring, they might trade a few swings here and there but this is a battle of life and deathIf they could end it with one strike, why not?This is the reason why battle between masters sometimes is boring.When they are evenly matched, they will exchange moves and flashy moves and fancy techniq
Dugu Qingfeng wear a blue attire, and he seems like a debonair young hero. Wu Ming is dressed in white; his face is expressionless and his eyes is cold. Looking at him, it almost appears like he is detached from the world. That everywhere he walks, he walks in a world of his own and everything beside him is isolated Everyone who looks at these two people on the city wall feel differently But there is one similarity that all of these people seem to share and that is the feeling of awe toward these two people rising from their heart. Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng look at each other. Even though the distance between them is ten feet away from each other, it was like they are in front of each other, only inches apart ‘Hero Li who do you think would win?’ Zhang Kuo asked. Li Xin shook his head. Zhang Kuo nodded. Qingxuan who is also proficient in the sword also could not speculate. The level is too high and she sat so low, so how could she humiliate herself trying to give an answer to
Li Xin is not surprised that some people chose today to try to attack Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.However, it was so many people, it was like every corner of the city is full of people wanting to fight Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.It is too coincidentalThree days ago, when Dugu Qingfeng is in the Red Building and Wu Ming in the White pagoda, no one come and challenges them.They could always just shout their challenge and knowing Dugu Qingfeng, he might accept.And if anyone could walk through the Immortal Forest and pass through the Village of the Defeated, they could always try to challenge Wu Ming if they are really determined to do sobut they waited for today and like clockwork, all single challengers come fighting them today, those who have feuds, blood debt and even assassins of all kinds, all appeared in droves like a swarmLi Xin is confident that there is someone behind the scene that is directing these peoplethe kind of people that could mobilize this many people and have th
Li Xin is surrounded by beautiful fairy. This is the thought of every man looking at him walking around with two beauties alongside him.Some people even envy Zhang Kuo who is talking and laughing with Li Xin. They never though a proud sons of the List could be so easygoingThe proud sons and daughter of the List referred to those people on the top ten of the Tianji Pavilion List.Most of these proud sons and daughters of the list usually would become a large figure in the future if they were allowed to grow. Many of those in the list before has turned into legends and figures of aweThe last time such list shows itself those in the list that survives now become ancestors of a great clan, a grandmaster, or even the head sect of powerful schools.Of course, there are also people who in the list who became legend and goes into seclusion.Hence why many of those people in the list is usually unapproachable and have their own arrogance.And not many people dare approach such high and nobl
It brushed past them and the moment it brushed them; they feel like their entire body is frozen. Their thoughts and their move were all frozenIt was like time itself is frozen. They look around in this frozen like state and sees that even the wind seems to have stopped, the dust seems to have halted in midair instead of rising upThen they feel warmth.But the more they feel this warmth, the more terrified they became.Because they feel this warmth from their neck. And then this warmth is slowly flowing out, and then drips down from their neckAnd as this warmth drips out, a different kind of coldness seems to seize them heart and soulIt took them a few second before they understand.Their throat was cut. But how? These are the question in their mind before they fall down to the ground, face forward, blood flowing out from a cut on their neck.Then their head slide down from their neck. Dugu Qingfeng cut them so cleanly like it uses a sharp knife to cut a part of a tofu.The blood s
The saber seems to be so fast it cut the wind but Dugu Qingfeng only sidestep to the side, and the saber misses it target.In that moment, Dugu Qingfeng simply smiles and flick his finger, a powerful energy was flicked off from the tip of his finger and the saber changes its trajectory.That person feels the grip of the saber loosen. And in that brief moment, Dugu Qingfeng made a grabbing motion with his hand.‘No!’Before the man could utter these words, the saber on his hand was grabbed by Dugu Qingfeng.The man somersaulted backward, trying to put a distance between him and Dugu QingfengBut how could Dugu Qingfeng let him go just like that?He dashes forward and make a slashing motion.Swish!The sound of shirts tearing, a scream echoes and the people watching all widened their eyes.That person with the saber attack in a hurry, charging like a rushing bull yet retreated even faster than expected.<
But Wu Ming is about to walk again.And Yang Xuan could not let him go.He jumps to the air coming out from the bushes and appears in front of Wu MingWu Ming lazily looked at him.But he did not move his sword‘Wu Ming, didn’t you see what you have done?’People may call him the Sword God and Uncrowned King of Sword but in front of Yang Xuan he is still a juniorEven though he is not as strong as Wu Ming, it is a fact that Wu Ming is his junior so he could speak like this.Wu Ming look around. Even though some people hide behind bushes now that their mind and heart is disturbed, their location could easily be seen.He sighed.He did not say it with his words but one could tell he looks at these people with disdain.But who really knows what he is thinking?But some people believe that his eyes seem to be conveying, if you are not powerful, they why do you dare watch it?But
The great school disciple come simply because they wanted to see the famous Wu Ming.Most of them is the disciples, the senior brother of the generation of their school and they come here just to watch the demeanor and to watch the battle between Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.But while some people are waiting near the entrance gate to watch the battle, they wanted to see Wu Ming journey to the gate.The disciple of the great schools knows more thing than the common people.They seem to know that there will be people that could not stand the itch and tries to fight Wu Ming todayEven though there is portrait of him circulating all over Wulin, it is not the same as seeing him directly.And it is not the same as watching him uses the sword in person than just by listening to the story of storytellers.As for the sword sect, Wu Ming might not call himself a swordsman but everyone knows his sword is sublime and ethereal.For someone wh
The sword pointed to the ground, the blood dripping down from the tip hitting the ground.All those people being stabbed by him all falls to the ground, twitched a few times, coughed up some blood or look at him with hatred and not before long, there is no breathWhether they look him with hatred or not, in the end, their body could not withstand the sword energy ravaging all over their body and they all die one after anotherThe wind blows and there is only silence.Wu Ming stop moving, he halts his step and the wind blows his white robe, the blood dripping from the edges of the sword to the tip of the swordThis is Wu Ming.He kills people with style and elegance.One could even say he kills people so beautiful that it would not be a bad death to die under his sword‘What a Sword God!’ some people thought of this when they see this battle. It doesn’t feel like he is killing people at all.It was more
