Chapter 522: Chapter 87 Sword God

(Still not changed, please check again in twenty minutes)

As soon as they crossed swords, Xiao Jie sensed the formidable strength of his opponent.

Logically, his basic attributes should not be weaker than the opponent’s. Due to the enhancement from consuming Demon Cores and the ongoing effects of the Kaiyang Gold Seal, his attributes were roughly equivalent to a level 40 player.

It’s unclear how the NPC’s attributes are calculated, but they shouldn’t be much higher than a player’s.

At least in terms of speed, Xiao Jie could barely keep up.

The main pressure came from the fluid connection of the opponent’s moves.

Wind Splitting Slash—Wind Dance Willow—Dragon Soaring Slash...

This Sky Blade Shattering Eight Desolates truly lives up to its name; each slash produces a fierce Sword Wind, transforming ordinary Combat Skills in his hands into something tremendously powerful.

Not to mention, there were almost no flaws between these Combat Skills.

Xiao Jie could only keep retreating and dodging, looking for an opportunity to counter.

A Dragon Soaring Slash leaped into the air; before the move even finished, a mid-air flip seamlessly transitioned into another move—Powerful Splitting of Huashan!

Phantom Traceless! Xiao Jie had no choice but to use his body movement skill to dodge this strike.

The opponent’s blade struck the ground, leaving a huge mark.

There’s a flaw! Xiao Jie seized the moment to charge, aiming to exploit the opponent’s gap.

One Cut, Two Pieces!

But the opponent skillfully blocked upwards—Sea-Roofing Golden Beam!

Clang!

Their blades collided directly.

Xiao Jie thought, "Damn, this is ridiculous, isn’t it?"

Powerful Splitting of Huashan is a Combat Skill that involves wide-open moves; logically, it should have left at least a half-second flaw, but somehow, the opponent canceled the skill’s cooldown instantly, seamlessly transitioning to another Combat Skill.

Xiao Jie was even more surprised that the starting motion of Sea-Roofing Golden Beam usually takes about 0.2/0.3 seconds.

Yet, it was canceled altogether, transitioning from a mid-air slash to standing block in less than 0.2 seconds, completely flawless.

Their Dual Blades collided, and the opponent’s Strength Attribute was clearly higher, knocking Xiao Jie’s blade away.

Instantly, another Helical Slash followed.

Xiao Jie was still in a rigid state, receiving a direct hit.

Swish, swish, swish! Three successive slashes hit him, but they all showed immunity.

Haha, I’m bulletproof, thinking you can break my defense with a wooden sword; wishful thinking.

Just as he prepared to counter after his opponent’s three slashes.

Unexpectedly, Jin Wujiu continued spinning after the last Helical Slash, seamlessly transitioning into a sweeping leg!

Directly sweeping Xiao Jie off his feet. The moment he got up, hands on the sword—Powerful Splitting of Huashan!

Another slash came straight down.

Fortunately, Xiao Jie was prepared this time—Lazy Donkey Roll!

He narrowly dodged the follow-up attack.

He stood up; although no blood was spilled, his heart was immensely shocked.

This worldly expert truly lived up to the reputation; how on earth could one fight this?

Xiao Jie chose not to unleash a powerful killing move; this was just a spar to improve weapon proficiency, there were no rewards for winning, naturally, it was better to dismantle moves skillfully to win.

Since he couldn’t beat close-quarter combat, he would use Martial Arts to prevail.

One Cut, Two Pieces—Sky Splitting Flash!

A slash of Sword Energy struck head-on.

Jin Wujiu also slashed.

Sky-breaking Slash!

The two sword energies collided, emitting a piercing screech. Xiao Jie retracted his sword, preparing for another blast of Sword Energy, but Jin Wujiu took advantage of the momentum to charge forward with Wind Dance Willow—however, he only used the starting motion of the move, instantly following with a Thrust. Just as the sword was raised, the next second, the blade thrust forward, aiming directly at Xiao Jie’s face.

Damn!

Such smooth transitions! Xiao Jie marveled internally, vaguely catching onto some subtle changes.

He was initially preparing to slash again after the cooldown, but almost instinctively, he executed Blade Reflection.

The motion of retracting his sword transitioned directly into the start of Blade Reflection, clang!

He actually blocked the opponent’s enigmatic strike.

Damn, I’ve realized it!

In an instant, Xiao Jie felt enlightenment, suddenly understanding why the opponent’s combinations were so smooth.

So much so that he was stunned on the spot, forgetting the next moves.

But Jin Wujiu didn’t hesitate, continuing a set of gorgeous combinations.

Immune—Immune—-7-15-23...

The initial slashes were still immune; later ones began to cause damage, clearly,Jin Wujiu had also realized Xiao Jie’s resilient body and infused Inner Strength into his saber technique.

Xiao Jie, currently in a state of Satori, had no mind to keep fighting and quickly jumped out of the ring.

"I lost, senior’s saber skill is truly profound, I admire it."

"Ha ha ha, young brother’s saber skills are also quite sharp, but a pity that the transition moves are too stiff, lacking any pattern, truly a pity."

Xiao Jie’s mind stirred, he also recognized that the opponent’s transitions were too perfect. Normally, when a Combat Skill is completed, it always leaves a brief gap. The more powerful the Combat Skill, often the larger the gap, and players in single combat usually do not dare to act rashly; once they do, they must immediately ready their body movement skills, preparing for the opponent’s dodge—counterattack.

In cases of similar strengths, it could even possibly play out like a turn-based effect: you make a move, I dodge, I make a move, you block, and so forth in this back and forth.

Whoever makes a mistake in response first would be put in a passive position, receiving damage.

Victory in combat is often decided in this switch between attack and defense.

In this case, powerful, high-speed Combat Skills are extremely important; for instance, Xiao Jie’s One Cut, Two Pieces, is quick to strike, easy to hit, even if it misses, one can still use Phantom Traceless to dodge and recover.
