Fire Monster

Chapter 179: Long Sword Stab
Visualizing the world, Zhao Guanshan looked at the lit rune stars and felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

On the left is the brightest fifth-order dispel rune, and on the right is a first-order explosive rune that is slightly less bright but clearly filled with a destructive aura.

They were like two legions or two wings, forming the core of his power.

Then comes the second-level oblivion, the third-level longsword mastery, and the third-level broadsword mastery.

"So the next thing to light up is..."

While Zhao Guanshan was thinking, he suddenly heard a whispering sound.

I listened carefully, but I couldn't hear it again.

After being stunned for a while, Zhao Guanshan stared at the Lihuo Dao Fu decisively and entered the statue space, and then he immediately knew what was going on.

It was not known whether it was because he had cultivated a second breath of pure yang energy, or because he had lit up the rune controlled by the third-order longsword, but a small change actually occurred in the statue space.

That is, the positions of the statues of Liu Yuwei, Zhao Guanshan, and Xiao Chengyun have changed, and their eyes have met at a point in the air, where there are a total of ten rune stars floating, large and small, bright or dark.

They are Zhao Guanshan's fifth-level dispel, second-level oblivion, first-level explosion, third-level long sword mastery, third-level broadsword mastery, as well as Xiao Chengyun's second-level broken gold, second-level dry gold sword energy, second-level marking, and Liu Yuwei's first-level vitality breeding and second-level vitality accumulation.

So this is a change that is triggered when a certain condition is met.

Zhao Guanshan stared at the ten rune stars. Soon, they began to rotate slowly along with his gaze, and finally they inexplicably combined into a sphere emitting gray-white light.

Well, he's quite good at making things happen.

And this ball is actually real, and I don’t know what it can be used for.

Zhao Guanshan looked over and over again, but had no idea what was going on.

"So, do I have to smash you to pieces?"

Thinking of this, he took the ball and gently tapped it on the broken stone platform next to him. The ball really shattered, and a grayish-white mist floated out.

Very strange.

Zhao Guanshan immediately prepared for battle, but in the end there was no danger.

As the gray mist dissipated, a broken psychic sword suddenly appeared in its place.

What the hell? Lottery mode?
Zhao Guanshan was thoughtful and began to take it seriously. That’s right, this is not a game. The arrangement left by the female fairy must not be so simple.

He looked at the broken sphere at this moment, and it had actually dissipated along with the gray-white mist.

It seems that this is the general mechanism. Every time a certain number of rune stars are lit up, you can draw a prize.

At that moment, he first picked up the broken psychic sword. It was very heavy in his hand, weighing about fifty kilograms.

It is about 130 cm long and the blade is five cm wide. It is covered with rust and has dozens of gaps of varying sizes.

The hilt of the sword is where the psychic array is installed, but the structure looks very old. It must be a psychic weapon from at least a thousand years ago. Oh, there is also a line of words here.

"Zhao Wenyu? The seventh generation ancestor of the Zhao family, the one who successfully visualized the Fire Seal Talisman at the age of twelve, became a first-level Qi Refiner at the age of fifteen, and a third-level Qi Refiner at the age of eighteen. He then went to the Imperial Seal Great Wall and never came back. It was not until fifteen years later that news of his death was reported back from the Zhao family?"

Zhao Guanshan still remembers this name very clearly.

Because Zhao Wenyu is the only one among the ancestors of the Zhao family who has cultivated to the fifth level of Qi Refiner.

It’s really amazing that he actually got the relics of the seventh generation ancestor of the Zhao family in the statue space.

"So this doesn't seem to be the work of the female immortal, but a function of the statue space itself. If one day I unfortunately die in battle, some of my relics may be preserved here, waiting for some of my descendants to discover them."

Zhao Guanshan casually danced with his sword, but he didn't feel very skilled at it. Not only because it was very heavy, but also because the regulations of this long sword were very different from the current psychic long swords.

Today's psychic swords are 90 centimeters long and weigh twenty kilograms. There are three attack runes engraved on the sword body, which is quite light.

And this one, 130 cm, looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

Zhao Guanshan knocked the hilt of the sword casually again and opened the spirit supply array inside. As expected, it was broken.

However, the jade here should definitely be of high quality.

Also, the quality of the sword is definitely not ordinary. It may be made of ultra-high-level materials above level 100.

While thinking, Zhao Guanshan casually waved the sword again. It was really a casual wave, and the awkwardness and rawness were very clear.

If he were a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, he would have died at this moment.

So he waved his hand again, and my god, his scalp was numb, and the palms of his hands and soles of his feet were itchy. The discomfort was too intense.

"Something's wrong!"

Zhao Guanshan finally reacted. Normally, even if he was dancing around with a brick, he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable. Why did this sword in his hand give him such an awkward feeling?

Then there is only one explanation, it is his level 3 long sword that is playing a role. It is like a first grader learning to write, but he can't make horizontal lines or vertical lines. The teacher feels physically uncomfortable after seeing this.

His third-level longsword mastery came from that teacher.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Guanshan didn't hesitate any more and started swinging his sword as he pleased, without paying attention to any coordination or any moves, he just danced wildly.

After all, no matter how he swung it, the feeling of discomfort was extremely strong.

Just like this, hand over from the right hand to the left hand, from the left hand to the right hand, or wield both hands, and do the one you like.

After swinging the sword like this for hundreds of times, suddenly without any warning, he casually thrust it forward, and the uncomfortable feeling instantly disappeared, replaced by the comfort of eating a popsicle on a hot day.

At the same time, the innate pure yang energy in his body was actually passively mobilized, as if he was writing with ease. It didn't matter what he wrote or how he wrote it. It was just a burst of energy. When the momentum was there, everything was different.

Zhao Guanshan stood there in shock, maintaining the thrusting motion, watching the fiery glow on the sword rise and then go out.

Without a spiritual supply array, he almost activated the sword by relying on the innate pure yang energy in his body.

After a moment of daze, Zhao Guanshan immediately continued to thrust forward, but he no longer had that sense of inspiration and the discomfort was still strong.

But this time he found the direction, and kept thrusting without giving up. He practiced it countless times, and when he had almost forgotten the feeling just now, he completed that kind of inspired thrust again.

When he thrust the sword out, he felt like a white ape, like a bent bow, like a torrent, like a strong wind. However, the core of the thrust was not on the sword body, but the innate pure yang energy that was mobilized in his body. However, this mobilization was not a simple passive mobilization, but a kind of practice mode!
The thrust of the long sword is only a trigger, a primer. What really needs to be done is to synchronize the innate pure yang energy in the body with this thrust of the sword.

"drink!"

Zhao Guanshan exhaled suddenly and spoke, and the innate pure yang energy in his body responded instantly and poured into the sword. In an instant, a fiery light lit up on the sword, but it did not emit any terrifying sword light. Instead, it gave him a feeling that he could go one step further.

That is to condense the explosive rune while thrusting the long sword and infusing the resonance of pure yang energy into it.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Zhao Guanshan naturally thrust forward with his sword again.

A red glow flashed within the sword, but there was no majestic sword energy. Only a thumb-sized compressed meteor flew out and exploded directly dozens of meters away.

The power is not very great.

Because Zhao Guanshan had not completed the condensation of the explosive rune at all, he just had the idea, and his innate pure yang energy naturally simulated the characteristics of the three-point explosive rune.

"That's it! That's it!"

Zhao Guanshan stood there, extremely excited.

He got it completely.

This should be the proper, orthodox way for a Qigong practitioner to control a sword.

Although the sword just now did not seem to have much power, if the spirit supply array was intact and filled with energy-storing spirit stones, its power would be incredibly great.

There is no need to engrave three kinds of attack runes on the sword. They are only for martial artists to use.

If a Qi Refiner uses it, he will only use his own innate pure Yang Qi + his own magical powers + the psychic sword, and the power will be at least ten times more.

However, there is a prerequisite that must be unlocked, and that is the mastery of the longsword.

The martial arts skills among mortals are not reproductively isolated from those of Qi cultivators and are not incompatible with each other.

On the contrary, these fighting techniques are more like guiding methods.

For example, breathing in and out is actually a prerequisite for the sixty-four techniques of Qigong.

Or maybe the long sword thrust that Zhao Guanshan had just mastered.

It can also be practiced in the hands of mortals.

Ordinary people cannot see any changes when practicing it, but in the hands of Qigong practitioners, it becomes a form-guiding technique.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guanshan simply continued to practice thrusting with the long sword. Gradually, the discomfort completely dissipated, and every thrust would attract the innate pure yang energy.

From a small amount of elicitation to a large amount of elicitation, and finally to full elicitation.

And every time, he could use a small amount of his innate pure yang energy to simulate the explosive rune, at least 30% and at most 50%.

This is very powerful, because under normal circumstances, it takes him about six minutes to condense a first-level explosive rune, but in the longsword thrust mode, with the help of this unique momentum, he can condense it almost instantly.

You can imagine how great an advantage this is in combat.

Only then was his long sword stabbing technique considered qualified.

If you want to continue to improve, you will have to continue lighting up the sword and mastering the runes, and continue to work hard.

Next, Zhao Guanshan did not continue. He had stayed in the statue space for a little too long. Now during the war, it was not advisable to stay for long.
