82 Grandmaster, Feed Me
The Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard was still in a nightmare. When Song Shi approached, the bone-breaking needle landed in his hand and he stabbed at Song Shi like it was a dagger.
This person’s close-range assassination technique was rather impressive. His movements were not sloppy at all. Song Shi subconsciously dodged, but a wound still appeared on his collarbone.
“Extraordinary martial artists are indeed quite destructive when in close combat.”
Song Shi raised his hand and used his Iron Sand Palm. In the end, it only deformed the other party’s protective true essence while his throat was inexplicably pierced by the Bone Breaking Needle.
“This person… has undergone special training!”
Realizing the difference between the two of them, Song Shi lost his chance and was sent flying by a punch from the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard. As blood spewed of his mouth out, he fell to the ground and died.
Three seconds later, Song Shi stood up again with a serious expression.
After the initial combat, he realized that he was not much inferior to the other party in terms of strength and Defense. However, he could not even last a round in close combat.
This could only mean that this person’s combat experience was far above his.
“Hei Duzi’s experience is biased towards Gu and poison, he is inferior to me in close combat, but this person is a Martial Dao master who has experienced hundreds of battles.”
Song Shi sighed.
Those who cultivated martial arts were collectively called martial artists.
However, in the path of martial arts, there were also respectful titles. For example, Postnatal cultivators would be called martial artists, and Connate cultivators were respectfully called Masters. If one reached the Extraordinary Foundation Establishment realm, they would be a grandmaster-level figure who could establish a sect.
This kind of person was actually acting as Chang Sunji’s guard. This really showed how powerful the person behind Chang Sunji was!
Fortunately, he did not kill him in front of everyone with the Fire Python Talisman on the city tower in a moment of impulse. Otherwise…
Of course, killing him didn’t seem like a big deal.
As long as his powers were not sealed, dying a few times was not a big deal. However, the few people in his family would probably be killed.
He had not reached the point where he did not care about his family. He had to consider these things for the time being.
After all, even Hei Duzi could kill his entire family for revenge. If that Virtuous Phoenix King took revenge and did not kill all three generations of the Song family, he would probably be letting down his status as a King.
Song Shi pondered and walked towards the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard again.
Previously, he felt that the difference between him and this person was their cultivation level only. Now, it seemed that the difference between was quite big.
“Die!”
Song Shi’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. This time, he took out the Gentleman Sword. The sharp aura transformed into a Wind-like power that enveloped him.
Puff!
A cold light emerged from the Gust of wind. With a wave of blue vital essence, the Gust of wind dissipated with a clang.
Song Shi felt a pain in his wrist, as if he had been bitten by a venomous snake. Immediately, blood gushed out.
His sword technique was actually broken through!
Amidst his shock, a cold light flashed upon him and he died again.
Although his death happened mainly because the other party’s Dharma artifact restrained him, he was still quite shocked that the Gust Wind Sword skill he had just mastered was broken through so easily.
In front of this guy, he felt that his moves were as clumsy as a child’s.
After reviving, he saw that there were many scrapes on his Gentleman Sword. He took a deep breath and focused.
He charged over again and locked his gaze on the other party’s actions. He realized that when the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard attacked, the Bone Breaking Needle seemed to have come alive and turned into a poisonous snake upon his command.
The tip of the needle was like a poisonous fang. Its movements were swift, mysterious, and unpredictable. Its power was incomparably condensed and it displayed the technique of breaking through any surfaces impressively.
“Why am I getting such an odd feeling watching it? Could this be the Divine Decree that Elder Qin mentioned?”
Song Shi was deep in thought. He decided to treat this fellow’s attack as a venomous snake and struck. The tip of his Sword pierced the Bone Breaking needle by seven inches and with a clang, he successfully blocked it.
Flames erupted and danced as another piece of his Gentleman Sword fell apart. Song Shi did not care at all as he roughly guessed now what the so-called Divine Decree was.
The Divine Decree was something that roughly followed the nature of what the skill was named after in the world. For example the Gust Wind Sword had to follow the rules of the wind. This person’s acupuncture technique, which was like a poisonous snake, should also follow the characteristics of a poisonous snake’s attack.
“The rules of Gust Wind… the rules of the poisonous snake. I’ve got it!”
Song Shi’s eyes became brighter and brighter. He carefully sensed the movement of the Gusts of wind that were swept up during their battle. His sword technique instantly became smooth and natural and gradually, there were no traces of his movements.
His eyes lit up. He injected Nine Yang True Energy into the sword and circulated it according to the rules of the wind. He then shouted in a low voice, “Sword of Gust!”
The scorching air currents rapidly revolved around his Sword. With Song Shi as the center reference point, Gusts of winds instantly erupted. All the power gathered at one point and stabbed towards the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard.
Rumble!
Crimson Fire Whirlwind flashes of Swords that were more than ten meters long appeared one after another with astonishingly domineering aura.
The blue light on the Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guards’ bodies fluctuated and fused into the Bone Breaking Needle. Instantly, it condensed into a huge poisonous snake. It twisted its body and opened its mouth and the poisonous teeth flickered with a cold light as it bit towards the red Gust of fiery whirlwind.
BOOM!
The poisonous snake and fiery gust of whirlwind collided, stirring up a chaotic wave. The ground broke inch by inch, and the nearby buildings shattered and collapsed with a bang. Fragments rolled and spread out far and wide from the aftershock.
Even the fog of the Array Formation dissipated slightly from the collision, revealing Song Shi’s retreating figure. The Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard opposite him also took half a step back.
“Haha, so that’s how it is. The so-called Divine Decree follows the rules of heaven and earth and is similar to spells. However, these rules are rules of the nature which needs to be comprehended by oneself. Actually, it’s not that difficult after all.”
Song Shi laughed loudly. He did not realize the true extent how powerful his Comprehension was. Even if others found the trick, it would be difficult for them to grasp the Heaven Decree of the Gust power so quickly.
“Ding… congratulations on perfecting the Gust Wind Sword. You have been rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery.”
The system notification appeared. Song Shi had successfully cultivated this sword technique to perfection and officially had an additional lesser divine power.
Although it was only the lowest level first-grade lesser divine power, its power was not inferior to the Fireball Technique at all. Moreover, it’s power could be controlled by Song Shi and released very quickly. There was no need to form seals at all.
Now Song Shi could generate fireball whenever he fought with the sword. This effect was completely different from purposefully generating and throwing a fireball at someone.
Crack!
Before he could laugh, the Gentleman Sword in Song Shi’s hand broke into two with a heart-wrenching sound.
In the end, the high-grade treasure weapon could not withstand the collision with the high-grade Dharma artifact and broke!
Song Shi could only put it away. He raised his hand and grabbed the air, causing a flying sword to appear.
When he saw that the flying sword was only a foot long, his face twitched. Such low-level Dharma artifacts did not have the function of enlarging when willed. If he didn’t need a sword to kill his enemy right now, he could only use this artifact as a dagger.
He did not have much experience regarding using a dagger, so he naturally could not use this to battle. He raised his hand and put it away, taking out a large saber.
This was only a high quality Precious Weapon instead of a Treasure Weapon. But at least it would not break in a short period of time. He closed his eyes and recalled the scene of the storm in his mind.
Clang!
With a flash of the saber, Song Shi jumped up and slashed down ruthlessly.
Clang!
The Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard held the bone-breaking needle horizontally and easily blocked the saber.
However, the endless saber beams were like a storm that drowned him in the blink of an eye.
Unlike the ever-changing sword techniques, the saber techniques were more open and powerful. They were imposing and had the spirit of engulfing rivers and choppy seas.
The Storm Saber was a typical saber technique Style. It incorporated the characteristics of the endless rainstorm and was pervasive. Its attacks were very domineering and fierce in nature. If one could not withstand a single strike, they would be dismembered by the chaotic saber.
The Extraordinary Invisible Shadow Guard was indeed an extraordinary martial arts grandmaster. Even though he was enveloped by saber beams that filled the sky, he could still deal with them calmly. If they were not fighting, this scene would have looked like a martial arts grandmaster was feeding Song Shi.
Yet, this was also the case. Song Shi was rapidly growing in his combat knowledge as he fought with this Grandmaster. His lack of close combat skills quickly increased to the level that he should have at his current strength, and even exceeded it.
“Rainstorm Saber!”
When the saber beam had become extremely dense, Song Shi shouted. The saber beam in the void condensed into specks of light that then rained down like a storm.
