Chapter 268: Third Kill Move

Translator: jinzeffect

Immediately after, a few more write-in disciples challenged Li Fuchen but were all unable to force him to use his kill move.

“Li Fuchen, let us have a round.” Cheng Guangjie’s expression was much more grave than when all this started.

He had to admit that Li Fuchen wasn’t easy to deal with. He was hoping that Li Fuchen didn’t have the time to develop a kill move yet.

Inside the Restriction Formation Array, Cheng Guangjie burst out with a yell and attacked with his first kill move.

For a split moment, the sword intent was unstoppable as his sword force rushed forth. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

Bang! f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

Cheng Guangjie was forced to step back.

His first kill move wasn’t any stronger than Lang Tao’s second kill move. He was slightly superior in terms of his combat awareness and combat skills.

But everything was useless.

In the Restriction Formation Array, Li Fuchen didn’t think that he would lose to anyone. Even if he only used his weakest martial arts move, he would still be able to wield it to the fullest extent.

Cheng Guangjie’s expression didn’t look too good as he quickly followed up with his second kill move.

Bang!

Cheng Guangjie was forced back again.

At this moment, everyone had a change in expression.

It was a kill move with similar firepower, but when executed by a different individual, its effects were entirely different.

Cheng Guangjie’s second kill move wasn’t just superior to anyone else, he also had combat awareness and combat skills that surpassed everyone else as well. But at the hands of Li Fuchen, it was still repelled in a single strike and there was no opportunity for a counterattack.

“Shadow Sweep!”

Cheng Guangjie roared with anger, as his third kill move burst forth.

This move swept out like a shadow and was fast as lightning.

This was just under the qi manipulation at the Qi Realm. If it was at the Earth Realm, the speed would be incredibly fast.

“This move is not bad.” There was a strange flash of light in Li Fuchen’s eyes.

In the world of martial arts, there was nothing that couldn’t be overcome, only speed.

Li Fuchen’s awareness was extremely strong and no matter how profound your martial artist was, he would be able to find flaws. But if your martial arts was fast, Li Fuchen would only be able to exhibit a smaller extent of his awareness.

A pity that it wasn’t fast enough, at least it didn’t surpass Li Fuchen’s reaction speed.

He countered as his attack landed first. Li Fuchen’s sword knocked onto the sword shadow.

Whoosh!

As blinding sparks burst forth, Cheng Guangjie’s kill move was redirected.

At the next moment, Li Fuchen’s sword was pointed at Cheng Guangjie’s throat.

“You lost.” Li Fuchen stated indifferently.

They were fighting with similar qi realms, but he didn’t even have to use his kill move.

Back at the Autumn Rain Tea Party, Ruan Qianqiu and Xiao Bai had the advantage of their cultivation. If they all had the same level of cultivation, Li Fuchen would similarly beat them in a single blade.

‘I am defeated just like this.’ Cheng Guangjie felt a daze in his head.

He was unable to imagine that there was such a large gap between himself and Li Fuchen, it was a ridiculously large gap.

Up until now, he was still unsure if Li Fuchen had any kill moves.

If Li Fuchen did, then wouldn’t the gap be even wider?

The rest of the write-in disciples looked towards Li Fuchen with a completely different expression.

No wonder he is a personal disciple, master’s insight is truly brilliant.

“A group of fools.” In his abode, the preeminent man shook his head and sneered.

He didn’t hinder when his write-in disciples challenged Li Fuchen. He wanted to use this chance to show them the difference between them and a true prodigy. He wanted them to know the gap and to be realistic without any flights of fancy and not be overconfident.

***

After defeating Cheng Guangjie, Li Fuchen’s ‘Elder shixiong’ position wasn’t challenged anymore. Li Fuchen was pleased when no one bothered him and he could spend all his time to create his third kill move.

“If I want to create the third kill move, does my Rotating Flow Sword intent have to first be closer to the mystic class high-tier sword intent?”

On this day, Li Fuchen was muttering to himself.

“Your way of thinking is wrong.” The preeminent man appeared behind Li Fuchen.

“Master.” Li Fuchen turned around with wrapped fists.

The preeminent man explained, “Sword intent is the essence of sword arts and sword moves, but a sword move is also great by itself. If the sword intent is a person’s spirit, then the sword move will be that person’s body. A powerful spirit might be able to make a person extraordinary, but if the body is also similar powerful, would it not be better?”

The preeminent man walked over as he spoke.

Li Fuchen didn’t say anything. Master’s explanation was naturally correct.

Just like the Blaze Devil Sword Art. Even though it wasn’t at the trance stage and didn’t have any Blaze Devil Sword intent, its power was much stronger than a mystic class mid-tier sword art which comprehended the mystic class mid-tier sword intent. This was precisely due to the fact that the sword moves of a mystic class high-tier sword art were already powerful by itself.

“If you wish to comprehend mystic class high-tier sword intents faster, you have to first create a sufficiently strong sword move. If both the sword move and sword intent are powerful, then the sword move itself would be powerful.” The preeminent man continued.

“Yes, master.” Li Fuchen nodded.

***

One month later.

On the peak of the mountain.

Li Fuchen was wielding a withered tree branch which drew across the air.

For a split second, there was a faint circle shaped shadow that appeared.

Bang!

The withered tree branch exploded.

“I finally have some signs of progress.” Li Fuchen was in a great mood as he continued to study.

The Rotating Flow Sword intent had a technique which caused the sword move to rotate. The key point for the third sword move was how to make it rotate even faster.

According to Li Fuchen’s speculation, if this rotation speed was enough, even water could slice through steel.

Another half a month had passed.

Li Fuchen drew across the air with the withered tree branch.

Bang! Crackle!

This time, the withered tree branch still exploded, but the remnants of the qi force was enough to split a huge boulder into two.

“This move is even more formidable than I imagined!” Li Fuchen’s eyes lit up.

He was only using qi of the Qi Realm. If he was using Earth Realm qi, this move might probably slice apart mystic class low-tier metallic objects.

One day before the reopening of the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain.

Li Fuchen had on this solemn expression at the peak of the mountain. The withered tree branch was brandished, it looked slow, but was actually very fast.

In an instant, a fiery red round moon shadow appeared.

Crackle!

The huge boulder was slice apart along with the surface of the ground. It was split into two and it went as deep as one meter.

“The third kill move is finally completed.”

At this moment, Li Fuchen was feeling great and his sword intent was overflowing.

Unconsciously, his Rotating Flow Sword intent was raised closer to the rank of a mystic class high-tier sword intent when his third kill move was bursting out. It caused the third kill move’s power to be even higher than anticipated.

He reckoned that this third kill move’s power was about two and a half folds stronger than the Blaze Devil Sword Art.

In terms of pure firepower, it was actually not inferior to a mystic class high-tier sword art which comprehended sword intent.

In terms of sword stance, the third kill move looked sharper than the Blaze Devil Sword Art.

“Good. Your mystic class mid-tier kill move is the strongest among all the others I have seen.” The preeminent man descended and smiled as he spoke.

“Master.” Li Fuchen snapped out of his excited state of mind.

The preeminent man nodded, “You are the most talented person I have seen. But all talented people have a rather rough and bumpy path. With me around, I believe no one will dare to touch you in the East Unicorn Continent. But there will be a day that I have to leave. When that time comes, you have to rely on yourself.”

“Master, are you leaving?” Li Fuchen was astonished.

The preeminent man said, “Don’t worry. I am not leaving within this period of time. At least not before the Stars Ranking Tournament.”

He could only stay in the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain for a few years, he knew that he would have to leave one day.

Li Fuchen remained silent.

Half the reason he came to the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain was to borrow influence. He didn’t expect that the Mystic Martial Experts would have to leave one day.

But it was about right. There weren’t many records of Mystic Martial Experts. It seemed like they would only appear for a brief period of time. After the Mystic Martial Experts left this time, it would probably be many years later before more Mystic Martial Experts would appear again.

‘It seems like I have to rely on myself in the future.’ Li Fuchen thought to himself.
