The enemy is the best teacher.
Every strong person who can maintain fast progress never lacks the ability to learn from their opponents.
Jiang Wang, who eats from the Hundred Schools of Thought, is a superb example.
But the ultimate skill that can be relied upon as a secret weapon, even with guidance from famous masters and insight into its intricacies, often requires a lot of time and effort to master.
It’s impossible to understand it at a glance and use it instantly.
Unless it’s Jiang Wang, who has already reached the God Descending Realm, observing opponents in the Ascending Dragon Realm.
In most cases, this kind of observation and learning during battle only allows you to learn a fraction of the essence. To truly make it your own is not an easy task.
For example, from observing Zhang Xun’s Sword Qi Silk to crafting his own Frosty Snow Bright, Jiang Wang went through a long period of exploration, even at first, the method he used to refine sword silk differed from Zhang Xun’s.
Only this move, Ku Hai Return.
Although it’s Jiang Wang’s first time seeing it, the first time using it, he already grasps seven-tenths of its essence, because he has already understood its secrets before replicating its form.
That’s why they say the Knowledge and Hearing Bell is Buddhism’s supreme treasure, why Ancient Nan Mountain’s Black Lotus Temple, from Bodhisattva to true disciple, fight life and death for it, why Mount Sumeru pursues it relentlessly!
At this moment, Jiang Wang strides gracefully on the clouds, an indescribable carefree and calm demeanor.
And when he suddenly turns around, it’s as if he’s breaking free from the boundless sea of suffering.
A cold glint flashes.
As if standing on the End of the World Platform looking east, witnessing the "One Line of Sky" in the tidal current!
At Jiang Wang’s current realm, many past moves scarcely have any effect.
The swordsmanship he applies in life-and-death combat is nothing but the blending of the human sword from Human Dao Sword Style, the Absolute Summit Tilt Mountain Sword under the Five Mansions unified by the Sword Immortal, and the two moves expounding on the Tao Path’s True Self Dao Sword.
The first two respectively represent the extreme of Jiang Wang’s sword intent and sword momentum.
As for the climax of his sword moves, it amalgamates Sword Qi Silk and Lovesick Killing Sword into Frosty Snow Bright, the move with the widest range and most complexity.
Among it, "The Despondency of the Scholar, Life and Death Revenge," is the sword style Jiang Wang uses most frequently in the Human Dao Sword Style, later observed Long Gorge and witnessed Heaven Split, explicating intent and refining moves, advancing into the sword style "One Line of Sky." It still maintains its unique brevity and sharpness.
When it appears, it’s often aimed at severing the head.
But Lu Qilang is also not easy to deal with.
Ku Hai Return is certainly marvelous, One Line of Sky is certainly sharp.
But prior to the bell’s chime, he already started evading.
He claims to be king by his intuition, but he doesn’t solely rely on it. He trusts more in his judgment in combat; intuition sometimes comes as a divine stroke, sometimes as an embellishment. Although he has already had several futile runs due to evading the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, before the next movement beneath the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, he still won’t be careless.
The startled bird is not laughable, but the bird shot dead is indeed pathetic.
When the line dividing heaven and earth rushed forward like a tide, Lu Qilang’s figure was already a thousand feet away. Yet the sword light, like a terrifying lightning bolt, pierced through the sky, exploding into thousands of threads, bringing a rain of light to Jiang Wang.
He won’t allow Jiang Wang to leave, but facing the Knowledge and Hearing Bell and the multiple deadly Samadhi True Fire, he also refuses to be overconfident in defense.
One Line Sword Tide meets Sword Light Shower head-on.
Sword light fights sword light wherever the eye can reach.
In the dizzying play of light and shadow, Jiang Wang’s figure emerged clearly, like the most crucial element in a painting, stabilizing this already chaotic long scroll.
Thus, he appears wreathed in scarlet flames, sword light reflecting in his eyes, with a flowing blue garment, standing at the tide’s crest.
He uses the sword tide as a steed, yet at this moment leaps out of the sword tide regardless, charging into the sword rain.
Countless sword lights sliced wounds on his body, yet the vitality gushing from the Eternal Youth Spring mends them again.
Over there, Lu Qilang continues fighting from afar, pushing swordsmanship to its limit, using various sophisticated techniques to segment the sword tide. Here, his opponent completely sacrifices sword momentum, discarding defense, like a wild stallion out of control, charging in front at him.
Completely reckless!
But perfectly fitting.
The exquisitely battle-worthy sword light stronghold meticulously woven by Lu Qilang was thus breached, yet he had to concede that Jiang Wang himself is a sharp sword. He always cuts into the battlefield from the most fitting direction, quickly achieving his tactical objectives.
He has retreated a thousand feet, now Jiang Wang is pressing close within a hundred feet!
Helplessly, Wild Reed swung across, detonating all sword light ahead. He in midair, tread flowers into paths, retreating towards the Divine Mountain. Clearly, this is the right direction; every step Jiang Wang pursues towards the Divine Mountain costs him two steps of wasted escape time.
Suddenly, the wind surrounded the body, Tongtian Sea surged.
Under the power of Eight Winds Dragon Tiger!
Lu Qilang brushed his five fingers, the vigorous energy around him howled like a white horse, carrying him leaping a hundred feet out of his constraints.
Jiao Mu Jiao, Xin Yue Hu... ahead emerged Seven Spirits to suppress vitality, fixating the Five Elements.
Yet amidst the Seven Spirits, hidden fragrance moved, the wild Yuan Force suddenly vanished, and flowers blossomed in the void, Lu Qilang tread the flowers as a bridge, thus crossing over.
Extraordinary Dao Technique Eight Winds Dragon Tiger!
Extraordinary Demon Art White Steed Passing!
Extraordinary Dao Technique Azure Dragon Seven Transformations!
Extraordinary Demon Art Seeking Fragrance in Dreams!
This instant’s offensive-defensive transformation occurred too swiftly to catch.
Neither party gained an advantage, but Jiang Wang had drawn nearer.
Opening his mouth ready for Thunderous Sound, Lu Qilang had already sealed off his auditory senses.
Intending to ring the copper bell in his hand, Lu Qilang stepped on Seven Stars, pulling the distance wider again.
Golden light abruptly burst in his pupils!
Facing Heaven’s Gate rumbled forward, suppressing the spirit world.
Yet within Lu Qilang’s spirit world, dandelions bloomed everywhere, white dandelions flew high, heading towards the vault of heaven, surprisingly blocking the ancient Heavenly Gate momentarily.
