“I still lost!”
Looking at the empty arena, Yang Qi had a bitter smile on his face. He was defeated in the fight this time. Although he had expected such a result, he was still easily suppressed and defeated despite having the Life Source Pearl, which made Yang Qi feel a little disappointed.
After obtaining the Life Source Pearl, Yang Qi's confidence increased greatly. He believed that he could be considered a top-notch warrior among his peers. However, after fighting with Emperor Wanjian, he discovered that he still had many shortcomings.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed as he muttered to himself, "But from this fight, I also gained a lot."
He originally received the inheritance from Emperor Wanjian, and now he is fighting with Emperor Wanjian, the powerful man who created the Ten Thousand Swords Art. The process of fighting not only gave him a deeper understanding of the Ten Thousand Swords Art, but also gave him a new understanding of the way of the sword!
"Relying on the Life Source Pearl, this fight is at least equivalent to two or three attempts by other practitioners. If I still cannot pass the test, then I can't blame anyone." Yang Qi pondered.
Without the Life Source Pearl, in such an intense fight, Yang Qi's energy would be exhausted in one or two sticks of incense, and his vitality would be greatly depleted. However, with the Life Source Pearl, the time he fought with Emperor Wanjian was extended several times. Although he could not stop to comprehend in the middle, which weakened the effect, the help brought by such a long fight was still huge.
In this case, he has two or three times more chances than other practitioners. If he still cannot pass the final test, he really can't blame anyone.
Yang Qi immediately sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend what he had gained from his previous fight with Emperor Wanjian. Originally, Yang Qi had already figured out his own swordsmanship, and with the addition of some of the inheritance he had received before and what he had gained from his fight with Emperor Wanjian, his swordsmanship immediately improved.
"The sword is not just a weapon, it is also a way!"
A sharp light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. Although Yang Qi used swords and understood swordsmanship before, the inheritance of swordsmanship came from Emperor Haoyang. In other words, Emperor Haoyang set the path of swordsmanship for him from the beginning and let him keep moving forward along this path.
In fact, Yang Qi himself is also good at swordsmanship and has a very high talent in swordsmanship, but this fixed path at the beginning has narrowed Yang Qi's horizons. As a result, his path is like a funnel, getting narrower and narrower. If he had not realized his own swordsmanship, he would probably have gone astray. But even if he realized his own swordsmanship, because of the funnel form in the early stage, his swordsmanship was missing something from the beginning.
However, these things became richer during the fight with Emperor Wanjian. If the sword path that Yang Qi realized was a single-plank bridge, then his sword path now was a wide road.
You can walk on a single-plank bridge, but one wrong step may lead you to fall into an abyss, whereas walking on a wide road is naturally easier.
"This is the true way of the sword!"
I don’t know how long it took, but when Yang Qi integrated these insights into his swordsmanship, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Isn't it time yet?"
When Yang Qi came out of seclusion, he found that there was no trace of Emperor Wanjian on the arena. Apparently, he did not spend a month in seclusion this time.
Then Yang Qi checked the time and found that it would only be one month in three days. He immediately continued his retreat, but this time he was trying to comprehend some of the inheritance left by the cave master.
Three days passed in a flash, and a strange wave came from the arena, and then a figure appeared on the arena. Who else could it be but Emperor Wanjian
Whoosh~
Yang Qi stepped forward and rushed directly onto the stage.
Emperor Wanjian's gaze fell on Yang Qi and he chuckled, "It seems that you have gained a lot in this month. You are so eager to fight me!"
Throughout history, Emperor Wanjian had encountered many practitioners who came here, including some extraordinary sword geniuses, but there were very few like Yang Qi who could not wait to fight him when the one-month deadline was up.
"Please give me some advice, senior!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, the sword in his hand shook, and a strong fighting spirit burst out from him.
"As you wish!"
Emperor Wanjian smiled slightly, moved his body, turned into a stream of light and killed Yang Qi. This was the first time that Emperor Wanjian took the initiative to attack.
Perhaps because he knew that Yang Qi possessed a special treasure, Emperor Wanjian did not hold back at all from the beginning, and launched fierce attacks madly towards Yang Qi.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Facing the incoming attack, Yang Qi was not willing to be outdone and wielded the Black Phoenix Sword to meet it.
Boom! Boom!
As the two sides fought, earth-shaking noises continued to explode and invisible energy storms dissipated. However, this energy storm could not pose any threat to Yang Qi or Emperor Wanjian.
"This boy's comprehension is truly terrifying!"
After a brief fight, Emperor Wanjian discovered that Yang Qi was different from before. Although the previous Yang Qi was not weak, he was just a beginner in the way of swordsmanship. But now Yang Qi seemed like someone who had been immersed in the way of swordsmanship for many years.
The same sword technique, at this moment, erupted with even greater power in Yang Qi's hands. Although it was still not as good as the Emperor of Ten Thousand Swords, the gap between them had narrowed a lot.
If it were just this, Yang Qi would not be a match for Emperor Wanjian, but the key is that he has the Life Source Pearl. Relying on the Life Source Pearl, he can actually fight against Emperor Wanjian on equal terms!
A battle between evenly matched opponents is undoubtedly the most exhilarating and the most touching battle. With the help of the Life Source Pearl and the Shadow Clone, Yang Qi was able to constantly gain insights and improve his shortcomings in the battle.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
As the two sides continued to fight, Yang Qi became stronger and stronger, and Emperor Wanjian couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Qi had obtained the Ten Thousand Swords Technique, and he was also related to his lineage. If he could pass the final test, he might be able to look after his lineage in the future. Although he would not let Yang Qi pass the test, he was naturally happy for Yang Qi's great potential in passing the test.
It only took Yang Qi about an hour to go from being evenly matched at the beginning to having the upper hand later. In addition, he was not afraid of fighting with energy and he actually kept consuming the energy of Emperor Wanjian during the fight.
The Wanjian Emperor began to weaken due to the loss of energy, but Yang Qi was not in a good situation either. After all, he had consumed a lot of energy after such a long fight. If he could not defeat the Wanjian Emperor this time, he would have to wait another month. Now that he had the strength to defeat the Wanjian Emperor, he naturally did not want to wait another month.
The fight between the two sides was completely a war of attrition. Whoever couldn't hold on first would lose. After fighting for nearly two hours, the body of the Wanjian Emperor became extremely thin and began to dissipate. In this battle, Yang Qi won! (To be continued)
