Chapter 343 Wind and Thunder Sabre Maniac and Wind and Thunder Sword Demon, [The Covenant of Swords]!
Wang Xiu just reached the limit of his lifespan at the age of 400?
Impossible, the Wang family is famous for their longevity!
The lifespan of humans with different blood is indeed not fixed.
The level of cultivation is of course somewhat relevant to humans of different blood, but in fact it is not that important. It is more related to their own different blood, and lifespan varies with blood.
Some families have special alien blood, let alone the Ying family, which is the strongest alien blood family in the world, but it is also a family where no member of the family can live to be 100 years old.
In addition to the Ying family, there are many other families with short-lived alien blood, and seven-star warriors can only live 2,300 years.
But the Wang family is different.
One of the special blood characteristics of the Wang family is longevity.
For example, the seven-star Wang family can live at least 7,800 years.
This is also the main reason why Chi Gongming asked Li Guanqi to help Wang Yanqing untie his knot and get rid of Chi Yuanan's influence.
After all, Wang Yanqing is from the Wang family and can live a long time.
Even assuming that she is destined to die at the Five Elements level in this life, if she dies normally, she can live for at least 5,600 years.
But Wang Yanqing is only 34 years old now.
Therefore, Chi Gongming actually did not want Wang Yanqing to remain a widow for hundreds of years for Chi Yuanan.
The different blood of the Wang family is very long-lived.
So Li Guanqi didn't understand why Wang Xiu, a seven-star martial artist who was only over 400 years old, was about to die?
"Are the stories in the travel notes false?"
Li Guanqi thought for a while and looked at Wang Xiu with a slight hesitation, "Senior, you are actually almost 800 years old this year?"
"No."
Wang Xiu shook his head calmly, "Although those books described me as a heartless man and made me want to hit someone after reading them, the general direction is actually correct, and the recorded time is also correct. I am now three hundred and four hundred years old.
."
403 years old?
How come the 403-year-old seven-star martial artist Wang only has 10 years left to live?
"I don't understand."
Li Guanqi looked at him curiously, wanting to hear more from the old man.
"You don't need to understand."
Wang Xiu had no intention of explaining, "It's too troublesome to talk about this matter. I don't want to talk about these messy things."
"Boy, you just need to know one thing."
"I don't have long to live, so I want to accept you as my disciple and teach you the wind and thunder sword skills. After you break into the five elements of martial arts, you can go to a sword engagement for me..."
"Forehead……"
Li Guanqi smiled, "Although it's a bit sudden, a seven-star swordsman suddenly wants to teach me swordsmanship, and I don't seem to have any reason to refuse?"
"Actually, you don't have the ability to refuse."
The corners of Wang Xiu's lips were slightly raised, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes, "You are a very good boy. You are not from the Eight Kingdoms or the Sixteenth Major, but you have such talent. You have entered the Four Elephants level before the age of 25, and you can collect
Since you are my disciple, I have some respect, which means that whether you are willing or not, I will accept you as my disciple."
"What is the specific situation of the Sword Pact?"
Li Guanqi looked at him curiously, "Why is it that this junior went to the appointment for you?"
"I have a lifelong enemy, her name is Takeda Kosai."
Wang Xiu stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the scorching sun on the horizon, with a flash of reminiscence in his eyes, "You can tell from the name that she is not from Daluo, but from Sakura, and is a female Sakura warrior.
She comes from a large family in the Sakura Shogunate, and like me, we are both considered wealthy children.
Her parents left the Sakura Shogunate at that time and settled in Daluo Capital. Takeda lived with her parents and grew up in the capital.
She and I are about the same age, and we were having fun together, so we never got to know each other.
We fought together and grew up together.
And like me, she successfully understood the 'power' of her own martial arts after breaking through to the Five Elements level.
We have very similar personalities, similar upbringing experiences, and similar hobbies.
Perhaps because of this, the 'power' of both of us is related to wind and thunder.
However, the only difference between us is the weapons.
I started picking up swords at the age of three and have been obsessed with kendo my whole life.
Takeda Kosai is different, she uses... a sword, a Sakura sword.
The shogunate samurai did not distinguish between swords, or in other words, they did not distinguish between swords. Many shogunate samurai called things that were clearly swords swords.
But Takeda is different.
She grew up in Daluo, so she naturally understood the difference between a knife and a sword, but even so, she still chose the Sakura Sword as her weapon and used it all her life.
Later, we grew up and separated.
I made my name as the Wind and Thunder Sword Demon in the Daluo River and Lake, and traveled all over the country. After 300 years old, I came to Takeda's hometown and traveled to the Sakura Shogunate.
And she first gained a reputation as a wind and thunder sword madman in the Daluo Jianghu, and then went to the west, where she traveled among the Western countries such as the Violet Empire and the Tulip Empire.
Takeda Kosai and I are very good friends, but we only differ on weapons, and we often fight over which sword is better.
But it is a pity that after knowing each other for four hundred years, we have played against each other countless times, but there has never been a real winner. Every time it was a draw.
But, half a year ago.
Takeda Kosai, who had been wandering around the Western countries for more than thirty years and disappeared for more than thirty years, suddenly returned to the shogunate and found me.
She said that she realized a stronger sword intention.
With this sword intent, she will definitely be able to defeat me.
At that time, I became interested and wanted to compete immediately.
But Takeda Kosai said that she still needs some time to perfect this sword intention.
Therefore, we agreed for a period of ten years to start a sword battle on the top of Xiaoshan Mountain in the Sakura Shogunate on the last blood moon day of 4881.
I was originally looking forward to her new sword intention, and wanted to see what new things she had discovered in the Western countries after disappearing for more than thirty years.
but……"
Having said this, Wang Xiu's eyes dimmed and he sighed helplessly.
Li Guanqi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
Blood moon day?
Having said that, in the apocalyptic period, the blood moon sun appears irregularly and irregularly.
But in the new era, Blood Moon Day has become a fixed "festival". Just like the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a change in celestial phenomena that occurs at a fixed time, and there are many days in a year.
There are also corresponding customs in each place.
Maybe there is a secret waiting to be discovered about Blood Moon Day.
The scenery above the moon...
"Oh, that's fine!"
Wang Xiu spoke again, interrupting Li Guanqi's thoughts.
The burly old man looked at Li Guanqi with a slightly helpless expression, "I was too lazy to tell you, but now that I've talked about it, it seems like it's not okay not to.
Six months ago, Takeda Kosai and I made an agreement to return to the West again.
To be honest, after I heard that she realized the new sword intention, I was really a little stressed, and I wanted to take advantage of these ten years to seek a breakthrough.
I was traveling in the wild and soon ran into a desperate situation in a cave.
There, there is an eighth-level curse spirit.
In desperation, I started a big battle with the cursed spirit. Fortunately, the cursed spirit was not experienced in the world and obviously did not learn the soul attack technique from us humans. Otherwise, once the attack technique condensed from the eighth-level soul came out, I would definitely die.
.
But even so, eighth-level souls are not easy to mess with.
Relying on the power of the Wind and Thunder Sword Intention, I fought back despite the desperate situation and jumped over the level to smash the eighth-level cursed spirit.
However, before it died, it also condensed the soul power of the eighth-level soul into a soul shock wave and attacked me.
Although it doesn't understand the soul attack technique, it is an eighth-level soul. Even if the attack method is crude, under the huge soul power, it can still smash the old man's soul defense technique to pieces in an instant, and also knock the old man's soul into pieces.
Almost collapsed.
Well, it almost collapsed.
Although it did not completely collapse, the foundation of my soul was completely damaged by that blow. Since then, my soul has been rapidly falling apart.
This is not that a certain soul is missing, but that the entire foundation of the soul is destroyed.
The collapse of my soul is completely irreversible.
Under normal circumstances, within three days after that, I would definitely die from a broken soul.
But, fortunately, I found this place the next day."
Wang Xiu said, looking around at the valley where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, with both helplessness and luck on his face, "The environment here is very special. I don't like reading, so I don't know why this place is special.
But in short, if I stay here, the speed of soul collapse will be much slower. Although it is still slowly collapsing, a rough calculation suggests that it can last for ten years, at least, it will be much longer than three days."
"Well... it should be the place where souls are destroyed."
Hearing this, Li Guanqi also looked at the surrounding valley, especially the sea of colorful flowers, "Purple Soul Flower, Three-leaf Soul-Musering Grass, Tiger-striped Soul Leaf... Although they are not of high grade, they have no picking value.
But with so many herbs about the soul growing together, there is definitely a problem.
Well, there are many possibilities.
But coupled with what Senior Wang Qi just said, there can only be one reason.
A soul of at least eight levels died here before.
This is the place where eighth-level souls are destroyed!
After the eighth-level soul dissipated, its soul power merged into this world, which is why so many soul-related plants were born.
The dissipation time should not be long, probably within the last 10-30 years, because the level of these soul plants is too low, and they were obviously born not long ago.
But fortunately, senior, the collapse of your soul will slow down. After all, this place is now similar to a hotbed of soul power, which can nourish the soul."
As he said this, Li Guanqi looked at Wang Xiu, but he hesitated to speak.
"Just say what you want to say."
Wang Xiu smiled and said, "I guess you are trying to say that the soul can be nourished here, but the soul cannot be repaired. If there is a crack in the soul, it is irreversible. It can only be delayed, not reversed. Should my soul be broken, or should it be broken?"
It has to be broken, right?"
"...I'm sorry."
Li Guanqi lowered his head slightly.
Damage to the soul is a terrible thing.
In some cases, such as if a certain 'po' is broken, you can still find ways to remedy it.
But it is a pity that the problem with Wang Xiu's soul is not a certain soul, but the foundation of the entire soul.
Once this thing is damaged, it is irreversible. It is a certain death situation that even gods cannot save. All we can do is prepare for the funeral and wait for the feast.
"What's there to be sorry for?"
Wang Xiu smiled calmly, "I was going to die half a year ago. Now I can live for a few more years. This is for nothing. I have already made a lot of money. Since I must die, there is no need to worry. It's just..."
As he spoke, the burly old man sighed helplessly, "I'm not afraid of death. What I'm afraid of is dying before the work is done. I didn't finish my sword contract with that old woman Takeda Kosai, so I died like this. I'm really sorry.
Friend."
"Why do you care about these agreements when you are about to die?"
Li Guanqi was puzzled, "I think, senior, what you need is not to teach me the sword to go to the appointment, but to ask the junior to go out to find Senior Takeda and lead her over to see you. We have been old friends for hundreds of years, so we have to meet you."
?”
"You can't find her."
Wang Xiu smiled and shook his head, "This old woman has been traveling around Western countries in recent years. She has completely disappeared, and no one can be found at all. The reason why I was able to see her last year was entirely because of her initiative.
Come to me.
If you want to see her, you can only wait until the last blood moon day of 4881 to meet her at the top of Xiaoshan Mountain.
And I...heh, I said I could live for ten years, but in fact, I feel that the speed of my soul's collapse has become faster and faster. The nourishing effect of this valley on my soul is slowly increasing as time goes by.
get worse.
I probably won't be able to survive that day.
But I don’t want to give up on that sword engagement, my Wind and Thunder Sword Intent, and Takeda Kosai’s new Sword Intent, the total score is higher or lower.”
Wang Xiu's eyes were persistent and firm.
"The question is how to divide it?"
Li Guanqi spread his hands and looked at the burly old man in surprise, "Senior Wang, what if you teach me the Wind and Thunder Sword Intent? You are a seven-star pinnacle, and Senior Takeda Kosai can be your lifelong enemy.
That should also be the pinnacle of seven stars.
This year is 4871, and there are only ten years left until 4881.
Are you so confident that I can become a peak seven-star martial artist from the early stage of Four Symbols within ten years?
Isn’t this nonsense?”
To be honest, Li Guanqi himself is quite confident about this matter.
But the foundation of this confidence is based on the "plunder" technique and various mission rewards in the strange world.
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
From Wang Xiu's perspective, how could Wang Xiu think that he could become a seven-star peak within ten years?
Totally impossible.
"No need for seven-star peak."
Wang Xiu smiled and shook his head, "I have crossed three major realms in ten years and am a seven-star peak martial artist under the age of 35. Not to mention the surnames of the 16th and 16th. It would be scary to put it among the surnames of the Eight Kingdoms. Of course I can't have one."
Such an outrageous request.
You only need to become a five-element level warrior within ten years.
Since you can become a fourth-level warrior before the age of 25, then this requirement should not be too difficult for your talent.
The Five Elements level is the minimum requirement for displaying my sword intention.
After the Five Elements level, the power of the sword will increase as the cultivation level increases.
In other words, as long as I reach the Five Elements level with the characteristics of my Wind and Thunder Sword Intention, I will be able to bring it into full play.
By then, when you reach the top of Xiaoshan Mountain, Takeda Kosai will naturally suppress your cultivation and compete with you at the Five Elements level.
Of course, even so, it's still unfair to you.
But... I don't want Takeda Kosai to return from overseas happily, only to find that the Wind and Thunder Sword Intent is gone in the world.
It shouldn't be like this.
And with your talent, you will reach the peak of seven stars sooner or later.
If Takeda Kosai is still alive at that time, then I hope that you can use your seven-star peak cultivation level and use the Wind and Thunder Sword Intent to have a real, evenly matched contest with her new Sword Intent."
Having said this, Wang Xiu looked at Li Guanqi with eyes full of expectation.
"So, there are two sessions of the sword covenant."
Li Guanqi suddenly understood and chuckled: "In that scene ten years later, Senior Takeda Kosai will suppress his cultivation and use his new sword intention to fight against the wind and thunder sword intention you taught me.
However, you hope that in the future, after my cultivation level and that of Takeda Kosai-senpai are equal, there will be another duel. At that time, it will be the real sword duel, and the result of that duel will be the real difference."
"That's exactly what it means."
Wang Xiu nodded and said in a deep voice: "But we will talk about the future matters later. For now, let's focus on the first sword fight.
You must learn the Wind and Thunder Sword Intent within ten years, and you must also enter the Five Elements level of martial arts, so the shorter the time for you to learn the Sword Intent, the better."
Li Guanqi was very calm.
With the "Plunder" technique, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to learn the Wind and Thunder Sword Intent.
But from Wang Xiu's point of view, this shouldn't be the case.
"Senior Wang."
Li Guanqi looked at him in surprise, "I actually don't understand. Let me be more direct. Since you don't have much time, the best way is not to ask this junior to leave here, but to find a five-element level warrior for you.
Huh? This way, you can spend the next ten years teaching him sword intent instead of waiting for me to advance to the Five Elements level."
"No."
Wang Xiu shook his head, looked at Li Guanqi, and said with a calm smile: "Meeting is fate, I have been sitting in this valley for half a year, and you are the only one who has come here, and your talent is so superior, which is enough to explain everything.
You are my disciple brought to me by God, and you are here to inherit my mantle.
Moreover, the sword fight ten years later requires Takeda Kosai to suppress his cultivation, which is actually nothing. I want you to go there just to not disappoint Takeda Kosai and to let her get to know you.
What I value more is the farther future.
This is the second sword fight that will take place after you and Takeda Kosai have reached the same level of cultivation, a seven-star peak sword fight.
At that time, the real distinction is made.
If you just go out and find a five-element level warrior, the chance of him reaching the peak of seven stars in this life is too small. If you look for someone with the surnames of the Sixteenth and Eight Kingdoms, it is meaningless.
But you are different.
A four-elephant level warrior under the age of 25.
And you are from a civilian background, which means your family is not strong, and the alien blood in your body is not strong either.
Is this a bad thing?
No!
Not at all!
This is exactly a good thing.
You can move so fast without relying on your own special blood qualifications, relying solely on your own martial arts talent. This only makes your martial arts talent even more amazing!
My child, remember that the improvement of your cultivation will sublimate the different blood in your body, allowing the different blood in your body to evolve, and ultimately allow future generations to enjoy happiness. This is also the origin of every wealthy family.
A martial artist of different blood, four words.
But the word ‘different blood’ in front can only determine the lower limit.
What determines the upper limit is the word "武夫" at the end.
The level of martial arts talent determines the upper limit of your future cultivation.
And hard work is also a kind of talent.
You need to work hard and work harder!
If you work hard enough, coupled with your martial arts talent, you can definitely reach seven stars or even Bagua level in the future.
If you were more ambitious, you might even be able to target Daluo's seventeenth surname.
Haha, Daluo’s seventeenth surname, the Li family?
There is hope, kid.
Watch chess, you have a future.
This is what I'm looking at.
You will not only inherit my wind and thunder sword intent, but you will most likely be able to take my wind and thunder sword intent to a higher level.
An old man has been looking up to the peak, but has never been able to touch it.
So, if you really want to talk about it, accepting you as a disciple and teaching you the wind and thunder sword skills is not actually because you had an adventure in this valley.
But I have been waiting in this valley for half a year, and I took advantage of an opportunity that God gave me.
So, having said so much..."
Wang Xiu looked at Li Guanqi and said seriously: "My child, are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"
