On the riverbank.
Xiao Han held his saber in his hand.
After nearly a month of hard training, Xiao Han could already slash 30 times in one breath in the whirlpool of the river!
A normal swordsman at the Physical Body Realm would not even be able to hold his saber steadily in the huge waves, let alone practice his saber skills. Xiao Han, on the other hand, relied on the Indestructible Golden Body's abnormal resistance and recovery ability to face the waves head-on like an iron man. Now, he could instantly split the huge waves!
Great progress!
This was definitely not a small matter.
At this moment, Xiao Han quietly placed his hand on the hilt of the saber. His body was as still as a rock and his eyes were as calm as water. Suddenly, the whole world seemed to have quietened down!
The silence was as cold as ice!
Everything around him, the surging river, the rumbling waterfall, seemed to be silent!
Gradually, the murderous and distant saber aura, with Xiao Han as the center, spread out, covering a hundred zhang …
The next moment, Xiao Han moved!
"Xiu ~ Xiu ~ Xiu ~ Xiu ~"
The saber in Xiao Han's hand seemed to have suddenly disappeared!
The saber light flashed continuously, and the sound of wind breaking was endless!
Only the saber light could be seen, but not the saber!
In Xiao Han's hand, the saber seemed to be as light as a feather, as if it had already merged with Xiao Han's flesh and soul, becoming a part of him!
"200 sabers in one breath!"
Suddenly, Xiao Han roared and raised his right hand!
"Pu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
A saber aura that was as fast as lightning suddenly slashed out!
This saber aura was like the wind and lightning, its speed was more than half the speed of sound, cutting through the air like cutting bamboo grass!
"Bang!"
This saber aura just happened to hit a huge wave that was more than ten meters high, a few acres wide, and looked like a wild beast!
The huge wave was smashed into pieces by the saber aura!
Countless water droplets splashed in all directions, spraying into the river.
The saber aura's momentum did not diminish, and fiercely slashed at the opposite cliff.
"Puchi!"
The hard cliff was cut like tofu, leaving a ten feet long and one foot deep mark!
"Hu …" Xiao Han spat out a mouthful of turbid air, sheathed his saber, and stood still like a mountain.
"Practicing saber in the huge waves of the river, fighting against the whirlpool every day, fighting against nature, really gave me my wish to cultivate saber aura!" Xiao Han grinned.
Now, Xiao Han could slash 200 times in a breath without any resistance.
The speed of sound was 340 saber strikes per breath. A bladesman only needed to execute 34 saber strikes in one breath to activate saber Qi.
And Xiao Han had far surpassed this benchmark!
"The speed of my saber energy is more than half the speed of sound.
The faster the speed of the blade, the greater the power, the sharper the cutting power, and the more terrifying the penetrative and destructive power.
To be honest, the strength of my Saber Qi has already reached 60% of my body's strength, which is close to 50 cauldrons. "Xiao Han evaluated himself.
As everyone knows, even the most gentle water flow, feathers, and withered grass, under extreme speed, can cut through rocks and steel. Furthermore, Xiao Han's saber Qi had a force of 50 ding!
A force of 50 cauldrons was blasted out at a speed faster than half the speed of sound. It was indeed invincible, capable of slicing through everything.
"If my Saber Speed is a few times faster, or even ten times faster, then it's not impossible for me to destroy the Six Paths with a single Saber Qi." Xiao Han was full of confidence.
"However, now that my physical strength has reached a limit, it will be difficult for me to increase the speed of my saber swing.
Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time. Next, I'll comprehend Saber Force! "
Xiao Han carried his saber back to the thatched cottage.
He rested to his heart's content for the night.
On the second day, Xiao Han still went to the reef in the river in the morning to resist the torrent and temper his physical body. He crazily overdrafted his physical strength, digested the medicinal dregs on his bones, and refined his Saber Qi.
In the afternoon, he sat cross-legged on the rock in front of the thatched cottage, comprehending Saber Force.
As the name implied, Saber Force was a kind of imposing manner.
A kind of understanding, love, and pursuit of the Saber Dao.
After a swordsman cultivated Saber Force, his entire body was like an unsheathed treasured saber, with an aura that could swallow mountains and rivers, and an unstoppable sharpness.
Xiao Han sat quietly to comprehend Saber Force while repeatedly reading the description of Saber Force from the first cocoon of light of the Seven Fragment Saber Technique.
Moreover, from the mirage-like ancient characters, he captured the faintly discernible Saber Intent contained within the strokes.
Before this, Xiao Han had already successfully comprehended the Son of Heaven's Force, the profound concept of Withered Wood in Spring. Thus, it wasn't impossible for Xiao Han to comprehend Force.
The three thousand paths lead to the same destination.
Using the method of comprehending the Son of Heaven's Force to comprehend Saber Force!
Three days …
Five days …
Ten days …
The eleventh day!
Xiao Han sat cross-legged on the rock in front of the thatched cottage like a withered tree. His eyes were closed tightly, and his single saber was placed on his knees.
The withered leaves rustled and fluttered as they swirled and fell.
Shockingly!
"Om ~ ~"
The single saber on Xiao Han's knees emitted a light hum!
A strange thing happened!
The air around Xiao Han's body warped, forming ripples. The fallen leaves that covered the sky seemed to avoid Xiao Han and fell to an area that was about three meters away from Xiao Han.
Suddenly!
Xiao Han's eyes opened wide!
The violent force of the saber covered the heavens and the earth as it rose from the ground to the sky and charged into the sky, surging and surging like tidewater!
"Hua ~ Hua ~ Hua ~ Hua ~"
The fallen leaves in all directions fled at the sight of the wind. They were blown into the air by the gusts of strong winds, and they wailed in the air.
Within Xiao Han's eyes, there was actually an aura that was as sharp as a blade that swept out explosively!
Xiao Han's eyes seemed to turn light gold, fierce and fierce. The Saber Force flowed, and the saber light overflowed in all directions. There was actually a terrifying feeling that Saber Intent was about to be born!
His entire person had a domineering and unparalleled aura that could sweep through the world!
"Initial success in the Saber Force," Xiao Han restrained the aura around him and smiled with satisfaction.
In the following days, Xiao Han sat cross-legged on the rock and comprehended the Saber Force for another ten days. The Saber Force in his eyes gradually faded, and his entire person was no longer showing off. It was as if his domineering, fierce, and sharp Saber Force had been deeply refined by Xiao Han, causing him to have a kind of divine light that was restrained, like a fierce tiger that was sleeping.
This kind of aura was even more terrifying than ten days ago.
It was almost like returning to the natural state.
"Returning to the natural state, the Saber Force is restrained, without leaving a trace," Xiao Han smiled.
"Just from the Saber Force alone, I have already surpassed that half-step True Qi swordsman, Hua Rong.
Hua Rong's Saber Force always flowed on the surface of his body, and it gave off the feeling that it would explode at any moment.
There was no clever concealment. "
Suddenly, one night, the dark clouds gathered in the night sky, and the sky was filled with arcs of lightning that were constantly appearing and disappearing like a spider web. It was as if there was a kind of violent power that could destroy the world, and it shook the sky into countless cracks.
"Kacha ~ ~ ~"
A ray of dazzling white light, like a sharp sword, pierced through the entire sky!
Between heaven and earth, it was all silvery-white!
Immediately after, the Heaven Duke was enraged, and thunder rumbled everywhere. The whole mountain began to tremble, crawl up, and wail …
A heavy downpour descended.
Accompanied by the flashes of lightning that filled the sky, the deafening thunder that shook the heaven and earth.
All the living beings on the mountain where Xiao Han was, tucked their tails between their legs and went into hiding.
The thatched cottage that Xiao Han lived in was quickly torn apart by the thunder and lightning!
"Thunder and lightning?" Suddenly, Xiao Han's heart palpitated, and all the Saber Force in his body rushed to the sky!
"Poof!"
The tattered thatched cottage was completely crushed into powder.
Xiao Han held a single saber in his hand, and he walked in the night rain and thunder like a demon god. His footsteps were neither fast nor slow, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was comprehending some profound truth in the thunder and lightning.
Shockingly!
"Kacha!"
A ray of lightning snaked like a snake, and it completely tore apart the sky, its trajectory extending endlessly.
Xiao Han raised his head to take a look, and a strange light flashed past his eyes. His spirit was greatly shaken!
In the next moment, Xiao Han waved the single saber in his hand, and the saber force wandered in the torrential rain, following the trajectory of the lightning.
Gradually, the area covered by the saber force became larger and larger … Five feet, ten feet, sixty feet …
The single saber slashed apart the curtain of rain, and the sound of the wind burst forth. Boom! Boom! Boom! It was as if ten thousand horses were galloping, shocking the world!
The saber force moved horizontally and vertically, and a kind of tragic concept swept through the wilderness. It was as if thousands of soldiers and horses were fighting on the battlefield, and blood flowed like a river, and corpses filled the field.
Suddenly, the single saber in Xiao Han's hand slashed at the void above his head. At the same time, a thunderous sound rolled past, and a sharp ray of lightning was forcibly drawn down by the saber force, fusing into the single saber. In an instant, the single saber radiated electric light in all directions. Xiao Han waved the single saber in his hand, and the speed of the saber was as fast as a meteor, causing his entire body to be wrapped in a ball of electric light.
Suddenly, the electric light on the single saber penetrated into Xiao Han's body, causing Xiao Han's entire body to shine brightly, as if he was a Thunder God descending to the mortal world. Not long after, the electric light rolled out from Xiao Han's body and fused into the single saber. Xiao Han held the saber with both hands, and with a slash, an earth-shattering rumble resounded. It was as if a thousand soldiers were easily defeated, and it could topple the mountains and overturn the seas, destroying all ghosts and gods!
A ray of saber Qi that was mixed with thunder and lightning instantly smashed out!
The earth shook!
In the next moment, the saber Qi had already created a seven to eight feet long, three to four feet deep gully on the ground. Green smoke rose in spirals, and there were continuous electric lights exploding in the gully.
After a while, the explosions stopped, but the residual electric lights were still sizzling, and there was a burnt smell in the surroundings.
Xiao Han sheathed his saber and stood still, his right hand caressing the saber's body. In this dark night where thunder and lightning intersected, his entire person glowed with a peerless elegance.
"I have mastered the Thunderclap Extermination Saber!
From then on, the saber Qi was mixed with the power of thunder and lightning. It was violent and brutal, and its power increased!
And my understanding of saber force has been consolidated, and I have actually touched the threshold of saber intent! "Xiao Han let out a long roar, like the roar of a tiger or a dragon. The sound shook the valley, and it did not stop for a long time.
After that, an entire month passed!
Xiao Han gave up on saber training, and he did not go to the river to temper his body.
He sat on the rock all day, his eyes half-open and half-closed. His mind was completely empty, and his mental energy spread out.
During this period of seclusion, all kinds of hard training and understanding of saber Dao flowed into Xiao Han's mind like flowing water.
Xiao Han summed up his gains and losses.
Moreover, he constantly tried to figure out the saber intent contained in the words in the cocoon of light that had exploded from the Seven Fragment Saber Technique.
The more he tried to figure out, the more stable and solid his saber force became.
Moreover, because Xiao Han was a transmigrator, his soul power was naturally strong. This time, he gave up on saber training, and used his soul to visualize the ancient words that had exploded from the cocoon of light, and he actually had some gains.
In his soul, there seemed to be something hidden that was about to break out of the cocoon!
Another half a month passed.
Xiao Han was still sitting cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed.
Leaves swirled around him.
Suddenly!
Xiao Han opened his eyes!
The saber Qi in his eyes was like a tide, and divine light surged, shining brightly!
The next moment …
"Poof!
Poof!
Poof!
Poof! "
The air twisted and turned into thin lines of ripples that suddenly cut through everything!
The speed was impressively the speed of sound!
Countless leaves seemed to be cut by invisible sharp blades, or as if they were cut by the air. Suddenly, one was cut into two, two into four, four into eight, eight into sixteen, and finally, they were turned into dust!
Xiao Han's saber force did not leak out, and his strength was restrained. He was actually using his soul power to control the air, and at the speed of sound, he cut the leaves in the air!
At this point, while Xiao Han's mind was wandering, his mind was clear. His understanding of saber Dao had entered a whole new level, as if he had opened the door to the peak of saber Dao. It was extraordinary.
"I've finally comprehended the one-in-a-million saber intent." Xiao Han's heart was neither happy nor sad. The improvement of his state of mind was indescribable.
"However, I'm afraid that my current saber intent has not even reached the true initial success stage.
The saber intent that I have mastered now uses the soul and soul power as the helmsman to control the air, turning it into saber Qi, and at the speed of sound, it can cut everything, including the void.
However, I can't control too much air to turn it into saber Qi, and my soul and soul power can't keep up.
As for the tempering of saber intent, I can only do it step by step.
The saber intent is formless, and the tempering is too mysterious and ethereal.
But at least I've embarked on this path. "
…
Ten days later.
On the bank of Nu River.
On the riverbank.
Xiao Han held his saber.
"It's been four months since I went into seclusion. I've been training hard every day, and about twenty to thirty percent of the medicinal power in my bones have been absorbed by my bones, and settled in my bone marrow.
My physical strength has increased from 80 ding to 100 ding.
It can be considered as the initial success stage of refining marrow.
In the whirlpool, I can slash 32 times in a breath.
Under normal circumstances, I can slash 230 times in a breath.
The speed of the saber Qi that is shot out is more than half the speed of sound, and the strength reaches 65 ding.
The saber Qi is accompanied by thunder and lightning, and its power is enhanced, piercing through everything.
The saber aura has reached the realm of returning to the natural state, and the saber light is restrained.
The saber intent is gradually approaching the initial success stage … "
Xiao Han calculated the results of today's seclusion.
A wave rose to the sky.
Suddenly, Xiao Han's saber flashed!
"Boom!"
A saber Qi burst out!
This saber Qi was about three meters long, and it shattered the vast sky. It was violent and unparalleled!
Moreover, the saber Qi contained the light of thunder, and the sound of thunder was loud. The wind howled, and the trees and grass panicked!
"Puchi ~ ~ ~ ~"
The wave was split into two by the saber Qi!
The cut was smooth, and it flew up and down!
… …
For the next three days, Xiao Han basically did not cultivate. He let his mind completely relax. Every day, he would chase, hunt, and pick wild fruits in the mountains. It was as if he was on an outing. During this period of time, his tense heartstrings had been completely relaxed because of the bitter cultivation.
One evening.
Xiao Han set up a rack and used the bonfire to roast fish. Not long after, the oil burst, and the aroma filled the air.
"Hehe …" Xiao Han swallowed a mouthful of saliva and rubbed his hands.
"The taste of this roasted fish must be refreshing … En, I will return to the sect tomorrow. The seclusion this time has become bland. Although there are still about two months before the outer sect ranking competition, my physical strength, saber Dao, and saber intent have temporarily reached a small bottleneck. I can't continue my seclusion anymore. I have to go out for a walk. If there is a chance to go to the Jianghu to gain experience, it would be a good choice."
Suddenly, Xiao Han's ears slightly trembled. Immediately, a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth as he said loudly.
"Alright, stop hiding.
Come out.
Why are you sneaking around? "
In the next moment …
In the nearby forest, three youths wearing outer sect robes came out. On each of their right armbands were the words "First Peak of the Outer Court."
They were the three outer sect disciples that Xue Jianfeng had sent to monitor Xiao Han.
However, these three people did not watch over Xiao Han day and night in the past four months.
They came here a few times and found that Xiao Han was sitting cross-legged on the rocks to comprehend the force. Thus, they were very annoyed and always stayed on the mountain to monitor him. After three days, they would return to their own mountain.
This time, they sneaked into the mountain peak two days ago, only to find that Xiao Han didn't cultivate at all. Instead, he was hunting and playing in the mountains, or catching fish and prawns in the river. They didn't know what Xiao Han was up to.
At this time, after being exposed by Xiao Han, they did not hide anymore and openly showed themselves.
They had a fearless appearance.
Even to the extent that they were overbearing and approached Xiao Han step by step. Their faces were surging with killing intent.
"Hehe … Alright!
You can eat now! "
Xiao Han's back was facing the three people. Without turning around, he directly grabbed the roasted river fish and tore it apart, shouting loudly.
"Good!
I, Xiao Han, am indeed talented in cooking!
This tastes really good! "
"Enough, Xiao Han, stop playing tricks." One of the three outer sect youths who were monitoring Xiao Han flicked his fingernails. "You're hiding here in seclusion, practicing your blade skills, all for the outer sect ranking competition in two months, right?
Not bad, you can endure the loneliness and cultivate in this barren mountain for a whole four months. Indeed, your willpower is extraordinary.
I can see that your saber art is not bad, but cramming at the last moment is an idiotic move.
We have asked around and found that you have never used a weapon before. This time, you practiced the saber art to have another trump card, right?
In the outer sect ranking competition, you made a surprise move and gained some benefits.
Yes, but we saw through you. Naturally, we will spread the news of you practicing the saber and expose your trump card. "
The other outer disciple rolled his eyelids and said in a cold tone, full of arrogance.
"No matter how you cultivate, you are not a match for our Senior Brother Xue.
You have offended our Senior Brother Xue. There is no place for you in this world.
But, you are lucky. Before Senior Brother Xue left for this adventure, he specially told us not to touch you for the time being and let you live for a while longer.
Senior Brother Xue wants to personally torture you in the outer sect ranking competition. He wants you to beg for death and regret coming to this world.
If not for Senior Brother Xue's warning, the three of us would have already punished you.
You may not know our methods, but we are very experienced in dealing with lowly people like you. "
At this moment, Xiao Han had already finished eating the roasted fish. His hands were greasy and he was wiping them on his robe.
"Turn around, kneel down and kowtow." An outer sect disciple looked at Xiao Han's back with disgust and roared.
"Hey …" At this moment, Xiao Han turned around with grease on his mouth. He burped and stood up. "You are Xue Jianfeng's loyal dogs, right?
You were ordered to monitor me.
Hmm, not bad. Ever since I cultivated the saber art, I have never tested it on a living person … Very good … "
Suddenly, Xiao Han waved his hand!
"Clang!"
Ten steps away from Xiao Han, a saber was stabbed into a rock. At this moment, the handle of the saber trembled, the air vibrated and the saber let out a sound.
The next moment …
"Xiu ~ ~ ~ ~"
The saber was pulled out from the rock by an invisible force. As if it had a life of its own, Xiao Han jumped in the air and grabbed the saber with his right hand.
"What?!
What … What is this? "The pupils of the three outer sect disciples suddenly shrank and they looked at Xiao Han in disbelief!
With the saber in hand, Xiao Han's aura suddenly expanded and a wave of saber aura soared into the sky!
His eyes were like a demon god looking down on the world!
The three outer sect disciples could not help but take a step back and their faces suddenly turned as white as paper.
One of the outer sect disciples said in fear.
"Monarch, minister, assistant and envoy, using an invisible intent to control a saber … This … This is the legendary situation where a saber user comprehended the saber intent … Could it be … Could it be that you have comprehended the saber intent?
How … How is this possible?
You are just a lowly living target, how could you comprehend the saber intent … "
The next moment …
"Go!"
The three outer sect disciples reacted strangely and quickly retreated!
One of the disciples burst out with energy and the airflow surged. As he breathed, the pale yellow airflow condensed into a layer of armor on the surface of his body. It looked like fish scales on the outside and there was a round mirror on the chest. It was as solid as a fortress … "Earth King Light Armor!"
Another disciple took eight steps in a breath. When he took the eighth step, his body burst out with great potential. In a flash, he had traveled a distance of more than ten zhang … "Eight Steps Overtaking Cicada!"
The last disciple stomped on the ground and the ground cracked. His whole body soared into the sky and jumped three zhang high and three zhang away like a toad … "Golden Toad Leap!"
The three outer sect youths each used their trump cards to defend themselves or to flee for their lives.
Xiao Han did not move.
His hand held the saber hilt and his eyes suddenly became as calm as water. The world was as silent as ice. Suddenly, a murderous saber aura shrouded …
"Pu!"
A saber aura burst out at a speed faster than half the speed of sound!
This saber aura was like the roar of an evil dragon. It was extremely ferocious. Wherever it went, the ground instantly cracked and sunk. Crackling electric arcs exploded all over the ground!
"Pu!
Pu!
Pu! "
The saber aura first killed the outer sect disciple with the qi flow armor. The sturdy armor exploded like tofu. The saber aura swept past and cut him in half at the waist!
Immediately after, the saber aura did not stop. When the outer sect disciple who used the 'Golden Toad Leap' landed on the ground, the saber aura swept across his neck. His head flew into the sky.
Finally, the outer sect disciple who had already used the 'Eight Steps Overtaking Cicada' had already flown more than ten zhang away. However, the saber aura was like a tarsal bone, crushing towards him.
"Pu!"
The outer sect disciple's legs were cut off. The electric arcs kept exploding at his severed legs, crackling and burning. However, he did not die immediately. Instead, he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Xiao Han walked over step by step. "Alright, I should also go back.
I'll rush back through the night. "
Xiao Han walked straight past without any hesitation and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Ah … Ah …" The one-legged youth looked at Xiao Han's back as he disappeared into the night. A trace of doubt flashed across his mind. "Why … why didn't he kill me?"
Just as this thought came to mind …
"Swish!"
