Chapter 190 - Unparalleled Way of the Sword in the Northern Wilderness (1/2)
Zhou Xuanji took out the two swords and examined them closely.
The Holy Light Redemption Sword was a golden sword. Its blade was quite wide, and there was a pair of feathered wings at the quillon, making it look quite imposing. Zhou Xuanji could not help but wonder if this really was a sword of redemption.
After all, he felt that it was incredibly destructive.
As for the Snakeskin Sword, the blade had snakeskin-like patterns and the hilt was a bit curved, making it look like part of a black snake’s body.
Zhou Xuanji stepped onto the Snakeskin Sword and started to fly while holding the Holy Light Redemption Sword.
The others noticed the noise coming from his direction.
“Those two swords seem to be new,” Han Shenbo said out of curiosity. One could tell at a glance that the Holy Light Redemption Sword was no ordinary sword.
Xiao Jinghong nodded and smiled, “Today, Revered Teacher turns 22 years old.”
Every time Zhou Xuanji celebrated a birthday, he would gain a few swords.
Everyone was used to this already.
Zhou Xuanji quickly flew in the air, sometimes spiraling, sometimes diving towards the ground. His flight pattern was everchanging and everyone felt that their eyes were dazzled as they watched on.
“Is he practicing some kind of sword technique?” The little black snake blinked as it asked out of curiosity.
No one answered it, as no one else knew either.
A while later, Zhou Xuanji landed and withdrew the Holy Light Redemption Sword and Snakeskin Sword.
What is this Ten Thousand Ultimate Steps? Zhou Xuanji wondered. Was it some kind of foot movement technique?
Following this, a wave of unfamiliar memories flowed into his mind.
It turned out that Ten Thousand Ultimate Steps was a sword movement technique.
It was similar to the Eight-steps Sword Lunge, but it was not a pure movement technique, rather an attack-type sword technique.
Killing enemies with a single step within 100 feet, it was even faster than Ranged Sword Propelling.
Ranged Sword Propelling was quite easy to dodge, which was why Zhou Xuanji did not use it often.
Zhou Xuanji took out the Dog Culling Sword and started to train Ten Thousand Ultimate Steps.
He trained next to the lake, and seeing him train, Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Beixiao Wangjian, and Huang Lianxin immediately came over.
It was another new sword technique.
“What kind of powerful sword technique is this?” Zhao Congjian muttered, his eyes burning.
Xiao Jinghong stretched out his hand and covered Zhao Congjian’s eyes, saying, “It’s best if you don’t watch.”
“No, I want to watch.” Zhao Congjian swatted away his hand and said with an excited expression.
Ten Thousand Ultimate Steps had 180 forms in total, and could cross a distance of 100 feet.
If one’s cultivation was profound and they trained to Great Accomplishment, crossing 1,000 miles to kill an enemy would not be a dream.
With Zhou Xuanji’s current strength, practicing the Ten Thousand Ultimate Steps for the first time took 15 breaths of time. His actions were fluid as if he had practiced for a long time.
Just as he had done so before:
After 100 times, he reached Small Accomplishment in Ten Thousand Ultimate Steps.
After 200 times, he reached Great Accomplishment in Ten Thousand Ultimate Steps.
After 300 times, he realized the sword will of Ten Thousand Ultimate Steps.
Ten Thousand Ultimate Steps’ sword will was sharp and intense. After going into sword will mode, Zhou Xuanji’s expression became incredibly cold.
He slashed towards a tree 100 meters away.
In an instant, Xiao Jinghong and the others felt as if Zhou Xuanji had turned into a blur and rushed past. He was so fast that it was difficult to see him with the naked eye.
Boom!
The tree’s trunk was shattered and countless leaves drifted down, and Zhou Xuanji appeared behind the tree.
He held the Dog Culling Sword with his robe fluttering, looking confident and domineering from behind.
Xiao Jinghong and the others immediately crowded around him, asking him questions.
“Ten Thousand Ultimate Steps. When trained to Small Accomplishment, one can kill people 100 feet away; when trained to Great Accomplishment, one can kill enemies 1,000 miles away,” Zhou Xuanji calmly replied, sounding incredibly profound and making the others feel even more excited.
“Finish training the sword techniques you’re learning at the moment before asking for more,” Zhou Xuanji harrumphed before turning and leaving.
Xiao Jinghong and the others did not feel discouraged and instead felt even more motivated.
Three months later, Han Shenbo had obtained some news after venturing out, and he returned with a blue, leather-bound book.
