Borrowing a sword

Chapter 93 If you want to kill him, then kill him.

"Earth-level spell?" Chu Huaixu looked at the few pages in his hand, a hint of surprise on his face.

As far as he knew, heavenly-level spells were extremely rare.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Han Shuangjiang and I had so many Heaven-level cultivation techniques to choose from when we went to the library. That's because we were only in the first realm, and those were low-level techniques."

"But spells are different from cultivation techniques. A good spell can really be used for a lifetime."

In this context, Earth-level techniques are already considered quite precious.

More importantly, this "six missing sections" is currently incomplete. How can it be rated as a prefecture-level city?

“That’s a bit scary!”

Chu Huaixu checked the "skill description" provided by the system, which showed that the current completeness of [Six Out of Rank] was 82%.

“In ‘Borrowing the Sword’, some techniques and skills are not 100% complete, which generally falls into two categories.”

"The first possibility is that a few pages are indeed missing."

"The second type is that the person who created it has not yet fully understood it, so it is actually still a semi-finished product."

Generally, if the skill completeness is above 70%, then you can start learning.

However, there may be obvious flaws, and there may even be negative effects after using the skill.

"In fact, many spells are classified as unfinished products precisely because of this negative effect."

According to the system introduction, the power of this [Six Out of Horizon] is infinitely close to that of a Heavenly-level spell.

However, there will be a price to pay!
"Is this somewhat like the Seven Injury Fist, which injures the enemy a thousand but also harms yourself eight hundred?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

In "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the Seven Injury Fist is described as: "Practicing it inflicts seven injuries."

— First injure yourself, then injure the enemy.

This [six out of place] is similar.

When one circulates spiritual energy within the body, wherever the spiritual energy reaches, whether it is the physical body or the meridians, it will suffer damage to varying degrees.

But the final effect will be absolutely amazing!

As far as Chu Huaixu is concerned, he has not yet learned any magic techniques, which is a basic requirement.

"Although the flaws of this [Six Out of Deficiencies] are obvious, its strength lies in its sheer power."

"It can be used as a last resort." He immediately understood its purpose.

Moreover, overall, he is actually a very good match for her.

Because of the Daoist Canon, his self-healing ability is constantly improving.

"But it seems like I'm really going further and further down the path of self-torture?" Chu Huaixu was somewhat speechless.

"System, can you please give me back my [Pain Adjustment] function?" he lamented inwardly.

Chu Huaixu put down the paper in his hand and looked up at Xu Ziqing, who looked nervous.

Xiao Xu was clearly giving a gift voluntarily, but he didn't know if the gift would suit his senior brother's taste.

He wanted to repay his senior brother, but he wasn't sure if the gift was substantial enough.

Having just entered the world of cultivation, he had little concept of what level of magic the [Six Outer Strike Points] was.

"If my senior brother doesn't even think of me," Xu Ziqing felt a bit awkward.

Finally, Chu Huaixu spoke: "Where did you get this technique?"

"I got it by chance when I went hiking in the mountains with my family," he replied in detail, recounting some of the details.

Chu Huaixu listened attentively. The specific details were rather cliché, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Indeed, every protagonist in this world is a person with great fortune."

However, a thought quickly crossed his mind, and he suddenly remembered: "Isn't there still a line of hatred on Xiao Xu's body?"

With this thought in mind, he looked down at the paper in his hand again, and a few guesses began to form in his mind.

He began to feel that there was blood on these pages!

"Do you know that this is a sword technique?" Chu Huaixu asked again.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziqing clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, and lowered her head, saying, "I didn't know at first, but... I found out later."

"Oh? How did you know?" Chu Huaixu continued to probe.

“Because thieves broke into my house, slaughtered my entire Xu family, and stole that book! I wasn’t home that day; I had been sparring with a friend in the city the night before and stayed at his house, which is how I escaped this calamity.”

The handsome young man had bloodshot eyes and spoke through gritted teeth.

Chu Huaixu didn't ask any further questions, nor did he inquire why thieves knew his family had acquired the mysterious sword technique.

Because there are ultimately more fools in this world, and many people can't control their mouths.

Often, a bad person's elaborate scheme is no match for a fool's quick thinking.

The Xu family is a large family with many members, which is normal.

If he were to delve into the details now, it would only cause Xu Ziqing more pain and make her dredge up her memories.

Chu Huaixu has his own professional habits from when he was a gaming companion; he actually pays a lot of attention to other people's emotions.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the other person and spoke again: "Xiao Xu, did you memorize this sword technique and then write it down?"

"Yes."

"Then let me ask you, your whole family died because of it, are you sure you want to give it to me?"

"My senior brother has given me a second chance at life. Without his help, I'm afraid I would never have had the chance to cultivate in this lifetime!" He raised his head, his eyes red and his voice trembling with emotion.

The handsome young man continued, "I know that I am dull-witted and I am afraid that I will never be able to catch up with my senior brother in this lifetime. I also don't know if I will be able to repay my senior brother in the future."

"I possess nothing of value, only this magical technique that I acquired by chance." "I hope you won't find it lacking, Senior Brother!"

At this point, Xu Ziqing added somewhat flusteredly, as if afraid she had said something wrong:

"Ziqing knows that his senior brother's kindness cannot be repaid with a single sword technique. I have absolutely no intention of refusing to repay this favor."

"I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!" He was extremely sincere and his tone was exceptionally earnest.

Seeing his heartfelt sincerity, Chu Huaixu found it a bit overwhelming.

"Damn it, you little brat, you messed with me. I'll feel guilty doing this." He thought to himself, speechless.

He had never agreed with the saying: sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

Chu Huaixu always felt that sincerity was a form of self-destruction.
Good heavens, he's really seen it all today.

The boy's eyes were filled with tears, and his body was trembling slightly. He said through tears, "Please rest assured, senior brother, Ziqing will do his best to cultivate and live up to your expectations. Whatever you ask of me, I will do it."

Chu Huaixu is truly impressive!
"Damn it, stop talking! The more you talk like this, the more petty I seem," he thought to himself.

He looked at the boy and said, "Xiao Xu, do you know that this technique is not ordinary, it's not the kind of cheap stuff you see everywhere?"

"Although I can tell at a glance that it has a lot of negative effects and obvious defects."

"However, its power is astonishing, and its grade is probably not low. It is an extremely precious technique in the cultivation world."

Chu Huaixu felt he should tell him the truth.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziqing became even more excited: "Senior brother, is it true?"

A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said, "I'm glad you don't mind, senior brother."

“What I mean is that it’s really precious.” Chu Huaixu remained silent.

"It's nothing compared to my senior brother's kindness!" the boy remained stubborn.

Chu Huaixu had clearly intended to mold him into his own shape, but now that he had actually done so, Chu Huaixu felt somewhat ashamed.

He's practically beating the old master to a pulp with his random punches.

He looked down at the pages that were not stained with blood, yet carried a heavy weight, and said, "But your whole family died because of it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziqing smiled with relief and quickly said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I've already asked them."

"Huh?" Chu Huaixu was dumbfounded.

Ask? How do I ask?

You little bastard, you can communicate with spirits, huh? Or did they send you a dream?
Seeing his senior brother's puzzled expression, and feeling embarrassed to admit that he was offering a secret gift, the handsome young man simply brushed it off, saying, "Anyway, senior brother, you can rest assured and keep it safe."

Since things had come to this point, Chu Huaixu nodded and stopped refusing, already having decided to repay Xiao Xu some favors.

He looked at the boy who had been crying because of painful memories and asked, "Xiao Xu, do you know who your enemy is?"

"Senior brother, Ziqing doesn't know." He shook his head.

But he quickly added, "However, if someone uses the same [Six Exits of the Horizon] in the future, then he might become my enemy!"

"Yes, if this technique is indeed a lost art from long ago, then only a very few people would know it. After some investigation, it's possible that such a technique exists." Chu Huaixu nodded slightly.

He actually knew who Xu Ziqing's enemy was.

Because when he played "Borrowing Swords," his main character was apprenticed to Chunqiu Mountain, one of the four major sects. And Xiao Xu's enemies were actually people from Chunqiu Mountain.

In the game, Chu Huaixu witnessed Xu Ziqing coming to seek revenge!
To be precise, all four main characters of the world have arrived!

His enemy actually had a powerful background in Chunqiu Mountain.

But what good is having a powerful background?
At that time, Xu Ziqing and Han Shuangjiang were already true disciples of the Taoist sect.

The other two main characters in the world are, among them, a member of the royal family of the Moon Kingdom.

Another one comes from the largest aristocratic family in the Moon Kingdom.

In the Mirror Kingdom, the four major sects are above the imperial court. In the Moon Kingdom, the situation is special. For various reasons, the imperial power is supreme!

Chu Huaixu witnessed Xu Ziqing avenge himself.

At this moment, he asked, "So your desire to cultivate is solely due to the hatred in your heart?"

"Yes." The boy nodded vigorously.

"Then I must tell you, this journey may not be easy, and you will have a lot of hardships to endure." Chu Huaixu knew very well that the protagonist of the world also grew up through trials and tribulations.

"This is an irreconcilable feud. No matter the cost, Ziqing will avenge this!" the handsome young man said through gritted teeth.

"No matter how strong the other party is, or how powerful their background is?" Chu Huaixu asked again.

"Yes, I will kill him!" the boy replied firmly.

Chu Huaixu looked at him, gently patted his shoulder, and decided to give him a clue subtly at the right opportunity, saying:

"Practice diligently, you can do it."

"If you want to kill him, then kill him."

A few minutes later, Xu Ziqing had tidied up everything that was placed next to the pool.

"Senior brother, we can go now," he said.

Unexpectedly, Chu Huaixu said, "No rush."

He took something out of his storage token and tossed it to Xu Ziqing.

“Eat it,” he said.
