Swallowing the Starry Sky Starts with a Sword

Chapter 20 High Lord
The night is cold and dreamy.

Moonlight pours in.

Zhou Ning sat cross-legged in the room with his eyes closed, a sword placed on his knees.

"The fastest, the strongest."

"The most rigid, the most yang."

Although his body did not move, various sword techniques and sword trajectories emerged in his mind. Based on the combat experience of the past ten days, he constantly adjusted the combinations.

Simpler, most direct, and more powerful.

"No, no!"

Zhou Ning suddenly frowned and opened his eyes: "My swordsmanship is obviously improving. This is the most fundamental swordsmanship honed through killing. But, it just feels wrong."

In his previous life, he had reached a very high level in the path of utmost strength and masculinity.

But solitary yang cannot last long, and strength cannot last forever.

Human beings are made of flesh and blood, and have seven emotions and six desires.

The human body and mind are unable to support a path that is pure, extreme, and extremely strong and masculine.

"I originally thought that in my previous life, I didn't have a foundation in martial arts, and it was difficult for me to support Zhiyang's swordsmanship."

"In this life, I have absorbed the strengths of hundreds of schools since I was young, and I have eliminated the dross and retained the essence. After seventeen years of accumulation, both my martial arts foundation and physical potential have reached a level that few people can match."

"In order to compensate for the pressure of the extremely yang sword technique on the body, he even created the extremely yin and soft guiding technique of 'The Awakening of All Things'."

"Can"

Zhou Ning stroked the sword on his knee. After two lifetimes of practice and a pure heart, his comprehension of martial arts could be described as divine.

His swordsmanship was clearly improving. At this rate of improvement, he would be able to reach the peak of the third level in two or three years at most.

With the state of mind of being extremely strong and masculine, it was not difficult for him to easily reach the fourth level of swordsmanship, the 'state of mind level'.

But there are problems ahead!
Zhou Ning could feel that as he reached the peak, his body and mind were unable to control the state of extreme yang.

There is no limit to swordsmanship, but there are limits to the human body and spirit.

"There is nothing wrong with being extremely strong and masculine. It's the people who are wrong. It's the people's bodies and spirits that cannot support that kind of extreme."

Zhou Ning looked out the window. The moonlight was quiet and moving, but it couldn't solve his problem.

"Fortunately."

"At least it's only a matter of time before my sword skills and body skills reach the realm of artistic conception."

His sword skills and body skills have reached the fourth realm, 'artistic realm', which is a first-class realm among high-level war gods. To be able to reach that level, he is already a super strong man second only to the level of a senator, and there are not many such people in the world.

Before this, Zhou Ning believed that he could find a solution.

“Meow~!”

Ouch~~~~
The sharp roar echoed throughout the city, and the sound waves rolled, causing pain to the low-level monsters in the nearby area.

boom!
There are many abandoned high-rise buildings, with two afterimages crisscrossing among them. Once the figures intersect, the terrifying power of the fight makes the ground tremble and an invisible shock wave is generated.

"Slow, slow, too slow."

Zhou Ning's figure was like a shadow, and the sword in his hand flashed with lightning. In an instant, there were more than a dozen consecutive sword lights!
The most rigid and masculine, the most fierce and intense!
The primary lord-level Black Nightmare Cat dodged desperately, and attacked frantically with its claws, but in the blink of an eye, several deep scars appeared on its body.

laugh!
There was another lightning-like knife shadow, and the Black Nightmare Cat dodged it with difficulty. Zhou Ning sprinted forward and swung the knife, and the trajectory of the blade was as long as seven or eight meters!

The Black Nightmare Cat dodged, and the concrete load-bearing pillars of the high-rise building behind it were directly cut off by the sword!
Rumble.
The battered building finally collapsed, with a large amount of debris falling down.

The Black Nightmare Cat had a look of fear in its eyes. The human warrior in front of it had been causing trouble for it since more than ten days ago. They would fight each other every one or two days.

At the beginning, it had a slight upper hand, but the speed at which humans' strength improved was too fast!
Whether it was strength, speed, or the sword skills that seemed to be able to chop everything into pieces, there were clearly visible improvements almost every day.

Until these two days, in the battle with this human, it even felt the crisis of death.

escape!
The Black Nightmare Cat turned around and fled without hesitation, turning into a black afterimage that shuttled between the tall buildings.

"In my lifetime, I have yet to kill a lord-level monster."

Zhou Ning quickly caught up. With the size and agility of a human warrior, it was not difficult to catch up with a monster lord of the same level.

One was running away desperately, and the other was chasing closely.

The speed of the man and the beast was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, no one knew how many circles they had made in the city.

call!
The Black Nightmare Cat stopped in front of a water amusement park, hesitating, but the humans chasing behind made it anxious.

Finally, it rushed in like mad.

"Hmm? It stinks!"

As soon as Zhou Ning followed in, he smelled an extremely fishy odor, which made him feel a little dangerous.

It smells exactly like the stench of some powerful monster's lair.

As soon as he turned around, he saw several huge lumps of black muddy substances in a dark corner of a building not far away.

I smelled it subconsciously, and an indescribable breath directly penetrated my soul!

"Fuck!"

Just as Zhou Ning was about to leave, he saw a giant figure tens of meters long rising into the sky from the water area of ​​the amusement park, accompanied by an extremely shrill cry.

The primary lord-level Black Nightmare Cat just now had suddenly become the prey in the mouth of the giant figure, roaring and struggling continuously.

"Iron Spinosaurus!"

Zhou Ning looked at this scene in shock. The giant figure was covered in black scales, with a string of hideous bone spurs on its back, a signature long and narrow snout, and a pair of creepy long and narrow vertical pupils.

It suddenly raised its head, and slowly swallowed the Black Nightmare Cat in its mouth. The huge body of the Black Nightmare Cat gradually formed a huge bulge in the throat and abdomen of the Iron Spinosaurus.

"A high-level lord-level Iron Spinosaurus!"

Zhou Ning turned and ran, but he remained calm. Monsters like the Iron Spinosaurus can often swallow huge prey, but after swallowing it once, it takes a month or even several months to digest the prey.

During this time, it has basically no desire to hunt and moves lazily. Unless other monster lords actively provoke it, it is not very dangerous.

“Got to make a note of this.”

Zhou Ning noted down the approximate location of this water amusement park to avoid accidentally entering it again in the future. The Iron Spinosaurus lizard devoured the primary lords like fried chicken, and it would be difficult for human warriors who were not at the intermediate level of God of War to escape.

Back in the familiar urban area, Zhou Ning continued his training plan, beating those primary lord-level monsters one by one.

1 month 30 day.

In the early morning, the Cold Dew has not yet disappeared.

In a room in the wilderness area, Zhou Ning was sitting cross-legged.

As his control over his body improved, he was now able to practice "Qingzhe Brings All Things to Life" in a more casual posture.

Rumble, hum.

There were strange vibrations in the body, and countless cells seemed to have opened up their own restrictions, absorbing energy and growing at a rapid rate, and the strength and density of the tendons, bones and muscles were increasing rapidly.

This lasted for forty to fifty minutes. Zhou Ning opened his eyes. At this moment, his whole body was covered with fine beads of sweat, and every inch of his muscles was filled with surging energy and strength.

"Your physical strength should have reached the threshold of a mid-level general, right?"
