Boom—
A deep rumble echoed, and a white ripple spread from the white light Chen Xin had slashed out.
The Sword Qi in his palm swept past, at the precise moment when the old force had just dissipated and the new force had not yet emerged.
The attack struck again; eight vine spears emitting a dark glow came piercing through.
Chen Xin paused, spun around on the spot, and although his right hand had swung past, he still had his left hand, which swept out, directly swatting away the eight vine spears emitting a dark glow.
"Is this kid a control system Spirit Master or an attack system Spirit Master? His attacks are so fierce."
Chen Xin had originally intended to simply overwhelm Shi Quan and teach him a lesson, which would have been enough. However, the techniques Shi Quan displayed now piqued Chen Xin's interest, and he wanted to see what other tricks Shi Quan had up his sleeve.
The distance that had been closed between them was now widened again due to this brief delay.
In terms of speed, even with Nine Shadows Shift, Shi Quan was far from being able to compare with Chen Xin.
Shi Quan was well aware of this. Furthermore, Chen Xin's Sword Intent was unparalleled, and the Seven Kill Sword's reputation as the strongest offensive weapon in the world was not without basis. The sharpness of his Sword Intent made it impossible for Blue Silver Grass to get close, and even if it did, its hardening ability would be insufficient to trap Chen Xin.
Therefore, Shi Quan's initial goal was another offense.
As the saying goes, offense is the best defense.
With a shift in his stance, Shi Quan's attack method changed again. His hands seemed to continuously fling out, and Blue Silver Grass strands, each emitting a dark glow, flew out from his hands one after another, bringing with them streaks of cold light.
Flying Flowers and Plucking Leaves.
Although Shi Quan's Internal Energy was not profound enough, when combined with the hardened Blue Silver Grass, every branch and leaf could be used as a Sharp Weapon.
The spirit power consumption of Shi Quan's second Spirit Ability, Hardening, increased with the range of hardening. However, hardening just a single branch or leaf consumed significantly less of Shi Quan's spirit power.
Dense Blue Silver Grass continuously flew out from Shi Quan's hands.
"Blue Silver Grass can be used like this?"
Everyone couldn't help but have this thought surface in their minds.
The onlookers, especially Yu Tianheng and others, felt their scalps tingle. They began to ponder how they would react if they faced such an attack.
On the front.
Compared to the dark spears, the attack power of the dark flying leaves was clearly weaker, but the frequency of attacks increased significantly.
Chen Xin was extremely sensitive to attack intensity. In just two breaths, he had roughly ascertained the attack power of these flying leaves. Invisible Sword Intent permeated his surroundings, and he seemed like an Immortal as he lifted his foot and walked towards Shi Quan.
His hands once again transformed into sword fingers. As the sword fingers danced, the dark flying leaves that approached were all directly split in two by Chen Xin. Chen Xin gave Shi Quan no opportunity to delay whatsoever.
"The hardened Blue Silver Grass was directly severed. Chen Xin's Sword Intent is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?"
Shi Quan secretly groaned in his heart. The Internal Energy within him surged, hot and turbulent. The immense pressure brought by Chen Xin made the characteristic of the Divine Skill, which grows stronger with each battle, unleash to its fullest.
Seeing Chen Xin closing in, Shi Quan simply stopped bothering to retreat. He knew he couldn't run away, so he might as well have a good fight.
The Blue Silver Grass coiled back, wrapping around Shi Quan's limbs and chest. A dark glow bloomed, and the Blue Silver Armor reappeared.
However, this time, the Blue Silver Armor covered a much smaller area, not covering joints like elbows and knees.
"Then let's have a good fight."
Intense Battle Intent appeared in Shi Quan's eyes. His footwork changed, and his figure suddenly moved forward.
Since the Blue Silver Grass could not impose any restrictions or effects on Chen Xin, he could only rely on his own martial arts.
Stepping with Nine Shadows Shift, Shi Quan's figure appeared on Chen Xin's side with a horizontal turn, and he lifted his leg for a horizontal kick.
Chen Xin merely shifted his body sideways and easily dodged Shi Quan's attack. His right sword finger slashed horizontally towards Shi Quan.
Nine Shadows Shift was utilized to its fullest. While dodging Chen Xin's sword finger, his figure shifted horizontally again, raising his hand to strike with his elbow upwards, aiming directly at Chen Xin's chest.
Chen Xin's left palm once again unleashed Sword Qi, a white Sword Qi sweeping out, forming a barrier in front of him. Shi Quan's elbow strike landed on it, only causing a ripple of white light.
White light flashed. Even just the scattered Sword Qi had already caused the hardened Blue Silver Armor on Shi Quan's body to crack directly.
Having gained the advantage with one strike, Shi Quan did not retreat in the slightest. He countered with a punch, striking the barrier again. It was a different strike, yet it landed in the same spot.
Bang!
The white Sword Qi collapsed.
Although Chen Xin's Sword Intent was strong, without the support of spirit power, his Sword Intent, no matter how powerful, had its limits. Furthermore, Chen Xin's Sword Intent focused on offense, and defense was not his strong suit.
With Shi Quan's elbow and punch landing in the same spot simultaneously, Chen Xin's defensive white Sword Qi was directly shattered by Shi Quan.
However, the shattered Sword Qi remained sharp. As it burst forth, it directly cut through more than half of the protective Blue Silver Armor. Strangely, the Sword Qi that pierced through the Blue Silver Armor did not cause any damage to Shi Quan.
A faint bronze glow appeared on the surface of Shi Quan's body.
This was the Indestructible Divine Skill. With Shi Quan's current strength, he had only just cultivated to the stage of Bronze Skin.
It was also fortunate that Shi Quan's Blue Silver Armor blocked most of the Sword Qi; otherwise, relying solely on the Indestructible Divine Skill would likely not have been enough to block Chen Xin's Sword Qi.
"He actually broke through my Sword Qi."
Chen Xin paused, but remained completely calm. It was merely breaking through one of his Sword Qi. He spun around on the spot, and his right sword finger once again brought forth a sharp white Sword Qi to slash out.
Shi Quan clasped his hands together to block. Blue Silver Grass rapidly grew, and as expected, wherever the Sword Qi reached, the Blue Silver Grass was completely severed inch by inch. Even hardened Blue Silver Grass couldn't completely block Chen Xin's Sword Qi, let alone these newly grown Blue Silver Grass.
Shi Quan also didn't expect the Blue Silver Grass to block these Sword Qi. His goal was to consume the power of the Sword Qi.
Bang!
The Sword Qi struck Shi Quan's arms, and his figure retreated several meters. The Blue Silver Armor on Shi Quan's arms had already broken, and fresh red blood flowed from his arms.
"Shi Quan!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed from the side.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but glance back at Ning Rongrong. This little girl, does she want me to teach him a lesson, or does she not want me to teach him a lesson?
"How sharp!"
Shi Quan grimaced in pain, having no time to pay attention to Ning Rongrong on the side. Feeling the Sword Qi constantly invading his body, the Divine Skill continuously circulated, and the Nine Yin Nine Yang Internal Energy quickly dissolved all of it.
Shi Quan looked at the injury on his hand and thought to himself, "If Chen Xin's Sword Qi power is only like this, then it's not impossible to fight!"
Shi Quan endured this blow precisely because he wanted to get a clearer sense of how strong Chen Xin's Sword Intent's attack power truly was.
The fresh blood on his arms looked alarming, but in reality, it was only a superficial wound; not even the muscle was damaged.
He glanced at the incense stick beside him, which was only a third burnt. Shi Quan's Battle Intent in his eyes remained undiminished. He wrapped his body in Blue Silver Grass again, then wove a dark Blue Silver longsword from the Blue Silver Grass.
Among many weapons, the sword is the easiest to use. Compared to other weapons, the sword is not only light but also double-edged, allowing for thrusting, hacking, slashing, and cleaving.
There was another significant reason why Shi Quan chose to use a sword: the person in front of him was none other than Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
If he were to fight him with a sword, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his future Cultivation of sword techniques.
Looking at the Blue Silver longsword in Shi Quan's hand, Chen Xin was also momentarily stunned, then a smile appeared on his lips as he asked, "You also have a study of swords?"
"How dare this Junior claim to study in front of Senior?" Shi Quan gripped his sword, looking directly at Chen Xin, and said in a deep voice, "Please enlighten this Junior, Senior!"
"Interesting." Chen Xin's interest was also piqued by Shi Quan. Looking at the dark Blue Silver longsword in Shi Quan's hand, his gaze casually fell on a large tree by the training ground.
He raised his hand and waved, and Sword Intent flew out. Then, a branch snapped and flew into Chen Xin's hand. Wood chips scattered, forming a wooden sword in Chen Xin's hand.
As the wooden sword entered his hand, Chen Xin's entire aura instantly underwent a drastic change. The wooden sword in his hand now seemed to have transformed into a Divine Weapon.
The battle transformed again.
Now it became a competition of sword techniques.
Shi Quan quickly searched his mind for longsword martial arts and soon settled on a martial art called the Clear Wind Sword Technique.
This sword technique could be said to be one of the most graceful sword techniques recorded in the True Scripture.
When wielding the sword, it was like a clear breeze caressing a willow, light and graceful. Not only could it be combined with the Heavenly Star Shift technique, but this sword technique also concealed killing intent within its elegance.
Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword was known for its unparalleled offense. Just by the name 'Seven Kill Sword Technique,' one could infer that Sword Douluo's sword technique was a fierce and sharp one. As firmness and gentleness counter each other, the Clear Wind Sword Technique was the most suitable.
Shi Quan held the sword with one hand in a sword finger stance, concealing the blade behind his arm. This time, he did not actively attack. His deep eyes were fixed intently on Sword Douluo's longsword.
"This sword-holding posture, is he waiting for me to attack?"
Chen Xin gently shook his head. His Seven Kill Sword Technique was unparalleled in offense, emphasizing sharp attacks. However, Shi Quan chose to let him attack, an action that Chen Xin considered to be extremely arrogant.
Tipping his toe, Chen Xin, holding the wooden sword, attacked with the simplest direct thrust.
The seemingly simple direct thrust made Shi Quan feel as if it were ten thousand swords, as if all his escape routes were blocked.
Resisting the immense pressure, as Chen Xin's wooden sword approached, Shi Quan finally moved. He raised his sword with his right hand, and his body slightly bent. His figure was much smaller than Chen Xin's.
With this bend and lift, the Blue Silver Vine Sword was raised above his head. He used the Cloud Sword, combined with the Heavenly Star Shift technique, to deflect the attack of Chen Xin's wooden sword. While dodging this strike, he turned and slashed diagonally towards Chen Xin's chest.
Chen Xin felt as if his sword had thrust into flowing water, being carried forward a few inches by some current. His strike missed, but it did not affect his offensive in the slightest. With a flick of his wrist, the wooden sword spun, blocking with a backhand, and then he leveraged the momentum to strike upwards again.
Meanwhile, Shi Quan's sword was like a clear breeze. After being blocked by Chen Xin's sword, he spun it around his head with a backhand, blocking Chen Xin's strike. His figure was agile, and the Blue Silver Vine Sword in his hand once again thrust out horizontally...
