In the face of the Pegasus Comet Fist, Guhan was powerless.
At that moment, Guangya had already ignited his own universe. The speed of the Pegasus Comet Fist was several times faster than the speed of sound. Guhan would not be able to catch up to this speed, no matter what.
"Qingpin, return to your sword!"
In a moment of desperation, Guhan wanted Qingpin to return to his side. Although this was equivalent to admitting defeat, Qingpin's safety could be guaranteed.
However, before Guhan's command could reach Qingpin's side, he felt the connection between him and Qingpin's sword mark break … Guhan could no longer control Qingpin.
"Qingpin!"
Guhan pulled out his Heavenly Sword at the fastest speed in his life. He wanted to rush in front of Qingpin before Qingpin's attack could reach him … but as mentioned before, the speed of this punch was not something that Guhan could catch up to.
At that moment, no one could save Qingpin. Everything depended on Qingpin.
"Damn it, it's too fast. Slow down your fist!"
At this critical moment, Qingpin was not thinking about how to dodge Guangya's sure-kill attack. Instead, he was thinking about how to slow down his opponent's fist …
"What a joke. Do you think my fist will slow down if I slow it down?"
Guangya sneered. In a thousandth of a second, Guangya's Pegasus Comet Fist approached the tip of Qingpin's nose. The fist was about to smash into Qingpin's head.
Then, there was nothing. Guangya felt his fist hit empty air. Then, Qingpin hopped away from him like a little rabbit.
How could this be?
Could this little sword lady's movement speed have already reached the speed of light?
Guangya was shocked. His Pegasus Comet Fist could reach his opponent in a thousandth of a second.
Yet, Qingpin had easily escaped. He had even used a taunting method like a rabbit to escape. To be able to do this, Qingpin's movement speed had to be at a speed of one-ten-thousandth or even one-tenth of a second.
But could Qingpin really have this kind of speed?
Naturally, it was impossible. In the eyes of Guhan and Liunian Ling, Qingpin's escape speed was no different from a kindergartner jumping a rabbit. Qingpin had to spend at least five seconds to completely escape Guangya's attack range … so, it wasn't that Qingpin's movement speed was extremely fast. Instead, it was that Guangya's punching speed had turned into that of a tortoise.
At this moment, time around Guangya seemed to have slowed down by tens of thousands of times.
He was like a female teacher in a certain time-stop series in Japan before the great calamity, frozen in the position of punching, motionless … but if one observed carefully, they would discover that Guangya was actually still moving. It was just that his speed was on the order of millimeters per second.
"Eat my Qingpin Godly Sword, First Form!"
Qingpin's sword, which had escaped from Guangya, was now facing an opponent who had almost been frozen in time. Naturally, she wanted to take revenge ruthlessly. She used her Qingpin sword to stab a few holes in her opponent's back. "Who asked you to bully the cute Qingpin … and to hit Qingpin's beautiful face … even Guhan couldn't hit Qingpin's face … Qingpin will stab you to death, stab you to death!"
"Ah!"
Guangya felt a sharp pain in his waist. Although Qingpin was not tall, the attack power of Qingpin's sword was not just for show.
The intense pain caused Guang Ya to instinctively twist his body … The speed at which he twisted his body was very fast, almost instantaneously. It seemed that Guang Ya had already recovered his speed, freeing himself from the strange frozen state of time.
"I've recovered!"
At this moment, Guangya realised that it was not Qingpin's speed that had changed, but his own had slowed down.
"What a terrifying ability, to actually be able to reduce my speed to this extent!"
A few drops of sweat appeared on Guangya's forehead. This ability was really too frightening, even more frightening than the Heavenly Sword!
"This is Qingpin's ultimate technique?"
Liunian Ling dragged her broken leg as she crawled to Guhan's side. "Qingpin's ultimate technique is actually to control the flow of time!
It's simply unimaginable that this is the ultimate technique of an Ancient Sword Maiden. This kind of ultimate technique, even if it was used by an Immortal Sword Maiden, it would still be a super valuable skill! "
Naturally, Liunian Ling thought that the skill that Qingpin had just used was Qingpin's ultimate technique, because the effect of this skill was really too awesome.
"Tsk tsk, looks like the Ancient Sword Record will have to be rearranged next time. With your Qingpin, my Yi Xian no longer has the face to stay in the number one position in the Ancient Sword Record!"
Liunian Ling sighed with some jealousy.
She thought a little more than Guangya. Guangya thought that it was a speed reduction skill, but Liunian Ling thought that it was a time skill … Any skill that had anything to do with time was an incomparably powerful Sword Maiden. Among Ancient Sword Maidens and Artifact Sword Maidens, she had never heard of any Sword Maiden having a time-type skill.
Moreover, it was a combat skill with a heaven-defying effect like time reduction. For an Immortal Sword Maiden, this kind of skill was extremely good.
With such a powerful skill, Qingpin was not something that the Yi Xian, who was not under Liunian Ling's control, could compare to. Qingpin was undoubtedly the number one Sword Maiden in the Ancient Sword Ranking.
"You're wrong, Ling. Qingpin's skill is not a time control ultimate technique!" Guhan shook his head after hearing Liunian Ling's words.
"Nonsense, this is clearly a time control ultimate technique. There's no mistake about it!"
Liunian Ling said mockingly. "Are you also like that idiot Saint Seiya, thinking that Qingpin's skill is a speed reduction skill?"
"No!"
Guhan smiled. "What I'm saying is that Qingpin's skill is not her ultimate technique. I used up all the Sword Scar Dust in my hands and only managed to push Qingpin down to the third stage. How could she have an ultimate technique to use?"
"You're saying that this is Qingpin's basic skill or advanced skill?" Liunian Ling's jaw dropped in disbelief. "Then how overpowered must her ultimate technique be?"
"No, you're wrong again, Ling. Qingpin's basic and advanced skills are not these," Guhan denied again. "Although I can't be sure, this should be Qingpin's swordsmanship characteristic!"
"Swordsmanship characteristic …" Liunian Ling didn't know what to say. Every swordmaiden had their own swordsmanship characteristic based on their swordsmanship.
Generally speaking, martial swordmaidens focused on swordsmanship; Confucian swordmaidens focused on defense; Murderous swordmaidens focused on offense; Kingly swordmaidens focused on status; Demonic swordmaidens focused on spirit; and there were some rare swordmaidens like Buddhist swordmaidens and Human swordmaidens. Although there wasn't much information on their swordsmanship characteristic, humans could basically confirm that Buddhist swordmaidens focused on healing, and Human swordmaidens focused on heaven and earth.
[PS: The setting of the swordsmanship characteristic might conflict with the previous swordmaidens' swordsmanship characteristics.
The author apologizes for this. The author made some discrepancies in the settings at the beginning, which led to this phenomenon.
The author was a little careless in the settings at the beginning, so I apologize to all the readers here. In the future, the swordsmanship characteristic will be based on this setting.]
However, I've never heard of any swordmaidens whose swordsmanship characteristic was related to time … If that's the case, then Qingpin is the first swordmaiden in the world whose swordsmanship characteristic is related to time.
"Then what's Qingpin's swordsmanship characteristic?
Could Qingpin be a Human Dao Swordmaiden? "
Liunian Ling asked curiously. In her heart, there was a fifty percent chance that Qingpin was a Human Dao Swordmaiden.
This was because there was only one Human Dao Swordmaiden to date, and the swordsmanship characteristic of the Human Dao Swordmaiden was the hardest to determine. Perhaps the characteristic of the Human Dao Swordmaiden included time.
"No, Qingpin isn't a Human Dao Swordmaiden!"
Guhan denied Liunian Ling's guess once again. "Qingpin's swordsmanship has been determined from the beginning. She's a genuine Murderous Dao Swordmaiden."
…
"Little swordmaiden, that should be your ultimate technique, right?"
Just like Liunian Ling, Guang Ya also assumed that what Qingpin had just used was her ultimate technique.
"I know. Swordmaidens' ultimate techniques are extremely restrictive. Within a short period of time, you won't be able to use that ultimate technique that slowed me down again!"
Guang Ya roared as he discovered Qingpin's weakness. "You won't be able to use your ultimate technique a second time, but I can use Pegasus Comet Fist again. You won't be able to defeat me. Have a good taste of the fear of Pegasus Comet Fist!"
Logically speaking, if that was Qingpin's ultimate technique, then Guang Ya's guess was extremely reasonable. Usually, ultimate techniques had a cooldown period of at least five minutes, and a swordmaiden wouldn't be able to use her ultimate technique repeatedly within a short period of time.
However, the problem was that this wasn't Qingpin's ultimate technique at all. Instead, it was Qingpin's swordsmanship characteristic.
Therefore, when Guang Ya used Pegasus Comet Fist again, he was horrified to discover that he had entered a tortoise-like time deceleration. He could only leave himself wide open, allowing Qingpin to leave a few more bleeding holes on his body.
…
"This is Qingpin's swordsmanship characteristic. Although I can't make a 100% judgment, I have a rough idea of what kind of ability Qingpin's swordsmanship characteristic is!"
Guang Ya smiled. "I've named her swordsmanship characteristic 'Interception'. What do you think?"
"Interception?" Liunian Ling was stunned. "Is it the 'Tribulation' of Calamity?"
"No, it's the 'Interception' of Interception!" Guang Ya replied.
"Interception?" Liunian Ling silently pondered over this word. "Interception of an opponent's ability?
For example, cutting off that Saint Seiya's attack speed right now? "
"Perhaps … …" Gu Han nodded his head in agreement.
