Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Is this the end of my life?

He was a little unwilling to give up, as he had not yet reached the pinnacle of his cultivation in this world.

Reborn into the world of martial arts, I really feel unwilling not to be the best in the world.

Jiang Weichen stood on the stage, recalling scenes from his previous life in his mind.

Then I thought about the warm family life in the first few years of this life and the series of tragic experiences that followed.

I think back to the days of hard training I’ve been doing over the past year, during the coldest days of morning and the hottest days of summer.

Thinking back to the scenes when I was practicing sword, I wanted to carve out a path with the sword, but so far, apart from integrating three sword techniques, it seems that I have not practiced anything.

At this moment, the scenes of him practicing swordsmanship flashed rapidly in his mind.

A question arose in his mind: Why is the sword-drawing technique so powerful?

Is it simply because it is a sword that gathers all the energy and spirit in the body?

Why is it that after the sword is unsheathed, even though it gathers all the energy and spirit in the body, it is not as powerful?

He doesn't know any knife-hiding techniques, so there's no reason for the difference to be so huge.

Jiang Weichen recalled many of the arguments about weapons in his previous life:

Weapons are an extension of your hands and feet!

Jiang Weichen practiced his swordsmanship to the highest level, and even integrated his own swordsmanship.

But have I really achieved the level of being able to use it as easily as my own arm?

No, although his swordsmanship was very well practiced, there was still some sluggishness.

It's like a punch with your arm can exert a force of a thousand pounds, but the force exerted with a knife may be only a little more than half.

It relies more on the sharpness of the weapon.

There is a widely known saying in the previous life: The sword is made of ordinary iron, but it becomes spiritual because of the holding, moves because of the heart, lives because of blood, and dies because of non-thought.

Chapter 72 Man and knife unite

The sword is made of ordinary iron, but it becomes spiritual because of the hand holding it, moves because of the heart, lives because of the blood, and dies because of the non-thought.

Jiang Weichen pondered the meaning of this sentence word by word, and the scenes of practicing swordsmanship over the past year or so echoed in his mind.

The reason why the sword-drawing technique is so powerful is that before drawing the sword, he holds the thought of "I draw the sword, and you will die!"

At that time, he believed in himself and even more in the knife in his hand.

As long as your hand speed can keep up, then wherever your mind goes, the knife will go.

He practiced drawing and sheathing his sword thousands of times every day, so his hand speed was naturally extremely fast and had formed muscle memory.

The hand moves before the nerve signals are transmitted. This is muscle memory.

At that time, the knife seemed to have turned into a living thing, merging with his arm without any sluggishness or dullness.

However, when using other knife techniques, he did not have this belief, and only regarded the knife as a sharp weapon for attack.

Then it is just a weapon, a dead object, and naturally cannot be integrated with the human body and mind.

A sentence emerged in Jiang Weichen's mind: Only when you are sincere to the sword can you reach the extreme of the sword, and only when you reach the extreme of the sword can you achieve the unity of man and sword.

Jiang Weichen raised the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand in front of his eyes. His eyes were no longer calm, but he looked at the dark blade and the blood-stained blade with emotion.

Gently stroking the blade with his left hand, he seemed to feel the rhythmic movement of the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword seemed to have come to life. Jiang Weichen no longer regarded it as a weapon, but as his partner.

Mu Ye, who was always paying attention to Jiang Weichen's movements, felt a little puzzled when he saw Jiang Weichen looking at the knife in his hand affectionately.

It's just a weapon, why do you make it look like a lover?

At this moment, Jiang Weichen held the Immortal-Slaying Sword in both hands. The sword moved, and he moved with it.

cut!

hack!

tease!

……

Jiang Weichen began to practice his swordsmanship in the center of the ring. The sword moved as his heart moved, and he followed the sword.

The people below the ring were confused, but a few people in the stands still noticed the problem.

Feng Chuan looked at Jiang Weichen practicing his sword skills on the stage and said in shock, "His sword skills have improved again, but he had already reached the pinnacle of perfection. The next level is innovation.

But his sword techniques clearly haven't changed at all, and it's clearly not like he's created a new one.

But why does the power seem to have increased so much, especially the speed?

Is there another realm after the great perfection of martial arts?"

Feng Chuan watched Jiang Weichen's movements and saw that Jiang Weichen's swordsmanship was getting faster and faster.

In the end, he only saw a series of afterimages. You have to know that he was at the innate realm, and he could only see illusions. What about others?

At one moment, he even seemed to mistake the knife for an arm, which made him unbelievable. He thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes.

When he looked again, it was still a knife, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly it seemed as if Jiang Weichen had turned into a knife.

He then murmured in shock, "Could this be the legendary state of unity between man and sword?"

Wu Changbai asked doubtfully, "Boss Feng, what is the unity of man and sword? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Feng Chuan felt mixed emotions and said, "I've heard people say that during the chaotic wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, many heroes emerged.

They were invincible on the battlefield and killed countless people.

They practiced the spear and halberd techniques to the point where man and spear, man and halberd became one.

At that time, spears and halberds were no longer just weapons, but extensions of the hands and feet.

When the spear and halberd skills have reached such a level, each move is unpredictable and the transitions are smooth.

Wherever the heart goes, the soldiers will follow. Such people are called enemies of ten thousand men on the battlefield."

Wu Changbai was somewhat shocked, and asked in confusion, "How did he achieve this state? And Jiang Weichen wasn't using a spear or a halberd, was he?"

Feng Chuan shook his head and said, "This state of mind can only be understood but not expressed in words. If you understand it, then you understand it. If you don't understand it, no matter how many concepts you talk about, it will be of no use.

This state is called the unity of man and weapon, and this weapon can be a knife, a sword, a spear, or any other weapon.”

Wu Changbai nodded, thinking that he had gained some knowledge. There were many people in the martial arts world who used weapons, but they only used various techniques.

Most of them remain at the level of entry, a few reach the level of mastery, and even fewer reach the pinnacle, let alone the unity of man and instrument.

Therefore, after many people have reached a high level of cultivation, weapons are no longer superior to fists and feet, so many people have abandoned weapons.

It was the first time for the others to hear about this state of mind, and they were simply puzzled. Weapons are weapons, and people are people. How can people and weapons become one?

……

On the stage, Mu Ye's expression was solemn, and he wondered in his heart: What's going on? Why did Jiang Weichen's swordsmanship suddenly increase in power and speed? Why didn't he use it just now?

If he had used this kind of strength when fighting with me just now, I would have definitely died.

Mu Ye watched Jiang Weichen practicing his swordsmanship, each move becoming more powerful and faster.

He suddenly felt that this state was somewhat similar to the legendary "enlightenment".

In this state, one's comprehension will be greatly enhanced, inspiration will burst forth, and the martial arts learned will progress rapidly in a very short period of time, and one may even create new martial arts.

Mu Ye was envious, but the records described that this state could not be disturbed.

The two are enemies now, so he will naturally not show mercy.

Mu Ye held the middle of the spear and sword in his hand, stepped closer, and then shot out like a dragon.

"Ding Dong~"

Weapons clashed, figures crossed paths. Mu Ye, his strength exhausted from one move, hadn't yet regenerated, and he thought he had interrupted Jiang Weichen's "epiphany" and was about to distance himself.

But Jiang Weichen's sword handle rotated, and the second move of the Immortal-Slaying Sword, "Swallow Returns", was used.

The man didn't turn around, but the tip of the knife had already pierced into Mu Ye's waist and abdomen at an extremely fast speed.

Jiang Weichen didn't give Mu Ye any chance. He twisted the handle of the knife directly, and the blade that had penetrated three inches into Mu Ye's body instantly rotated, and the wound immediately expanded.

He then drew his sword and leaped out of Mu Ye's counterattack range.

The knife was too fast, Mu Ye didn't react in time, and even if he had, he couldn't dodge it.

Jiang Weichen didn't give him a chance. He rotated the knife handle to enlarge the wound and crushed his kidney.

Mu Ye hurriedly wanted to press acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, but Jiang Weichen did not stop him.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword penetrated four inches into his body. With such a deep wound and the rotation of the blade crushing his internal organs, Mu Ye was beyond saving.

What he was doing now was only prolonging the pain.

Mu Ye pressed several acupoints, but it was of no use because the wound covered too large an area.

Mu Ye was unwilling to give in. It was not until he was about to die that he realized how afraid he was of death.

The severe pain exposed the veins on his face, making him look a little hideous.

"Doctor, doctor, heal my wounds! Pavilion Master, give me medicine quickly!"

"How is that possible? How could you block my full-strength attack and still have the energy to change quickly?"

After a brief fight, Jiang Weichen didn't hate Mu Ye, but unfortunately they were enemies, so he would not hold back.

But when he was undoubtedly doomed, he was still willing to explain to Mu Ye: "That wasn't my full strength. I only used 70% of my strength, and the remaining 30% was used to prepare for the next move."

Apart from the one-stroke flow, if you want to be fast with your sword, you cannot use all your strength. Otherwise, the old strength will be gone and the new strength has not yet been generated. How can you be fast?

Mu Ye couldn't believe it, "Why did your strength suddenly increase so much?"

Jiang Weichen's realm was lower than his, and his internal energy was exhausted, so it was surprising that he could block his moves with all his strength.

But I didn't expect that I still had some energy left.

"My strength hasn't changed, but my energy is no longer wasted and is now fully focused on the sword.
