Chapter 141 - 0141: The Sword is Too Slow!

Chapter 141: Chapter 0141: The Sword is Too Slow!

However, the realm of the Unity of Man and Sword is one that even Peak War General Strongman can rarely master.

And Ye Qingfeng was merely at the realm of a Peak Warrior.

The difficulty can be well imagined!

"Let’s do it!"

Ye Qingfeng withdrew the supply of spiritual power to his longsword.

In an instant, the longsword with second-level tungsten steel hardness turned into a slightly sharper ordinary weapon.

After all, without the blessing of spiritual power, no matter how sharp, it’s difficult to exert even 20-30% of its power.

However, if the Sword Dao realm is high enough, the enhancement of weapon power is no longer necessary.

"Chi chi chi!!!"

As soon as Ye Qingfeng withdrew the power from the longsword, the intensity of the sword skills immediately diminished.

Originally, Ye Qingfeng could barely defend against the simultaneous attacks of about a hundred Gold-Biting Rats.

At this time, he was also facing dangerous situations, with several wounds on his body from the sharp, blade-like teeth of the Gold-Biting Rats.

"Phantom Body Technique."

In such narrow terrain, only a small-range evasion technique like the Phantom Body Technique could be effective.

Fortunately, Ye Qingfeng’s movement technique was only a tiny bit away from the Micro Level, barely stabilizing the situation.

However, due to the weakened sword skills, Ye Qingfeng couldn’t kill the Gold-Biting Rats with a single strike.

As a result, the Gold-Biting Rats found opportunities to counterattack and occasionally left another wound on Ye Qingfeng.

"No good! No good!! Continuing like this, I’ll definitely bleed to death."

As the wounds on his body became more numerous, Ye Qingfeng grew anxious.

If it went on like this, he would never be able to wait for human experts to calm the beast tide; he would be gnawed to nothing by the Gold-Biting Rats.

"Breakthrough! I must break through..."

Ye Qingfeng roared, realizing that at this rate, he would be like a frog boiled alive in warm water.

As death loomed closer, madness welled up in Ye Qingfeng’s heart.

Originally focusing on defense, Ye Qingfeng now disregarded everything else and put all his focus completely on the attack.

"Too slow, too slow! My sword skills are too slow; I can’t completely block over a hundred Gold-Biting Rats... must be faster, faster, faster!"

Anxious beyond measure, Ye Qingfeng’s frantic state intensified, and his spiritual power reached an unprecedented level of tension.

Ye Qingfeng’s purely offensive sword skills left him with more and more cuts on his body.

But unknowingly, his speed in killing the Gold-Biting Rats became faster, and the sword skills became smoother.

After some time, his whole body was covered in blood, like a blood man, but the sword techniques without spiritual power support were even sharper and faster than when he used spiritual power before.

This was pure swordsmanship, without any spiritual power incorporated into the sword skills.

"Still too slow!"

Seeing his sword speed, Ye Qingfeng murmured to himself.

However, he paid no heed and focused all his attention on the sword in his hand.

In fact, if a Sword Dao expert were observing Ye Qingfeng, they would be extremely envious, because Ye Qingfeng was now in a mysterious state of Sword Heart Clarity.

But Ye Qingfeng thought his sword speed had slowed down, not because his swordsmanship had really slowed down, but because everything around him in his eyes had slowed down.

Originally still fast, the Gold-Biting Rats seemed even slower.

This is the state of Sword Heart Clarity, a state all Sword Dao martial artists dream of encountering.

But no one dares to say they can enter this state in the next second; even those War God Strong Men on top of the pyramid, who overlook all beings, dare not say so.

Because this state is a kind of epiphany, a Dao Rhythm that is hard to describe.

In the state of Sword Heart Clarity, the martial artist’s Sword Dao realm will increase at a terrifying speed as time goes on.

The longer this state lasts, the greater benefits the martial artist receives.

Now, Ye Qingfeng wasn’t thinking about how to kill the Gold-Biting Rats but about what angle he should use his sword that best suited his body.

Slowly, Ye Qingfeng felt that the sword in his hand was like his arm, and the place he thought in his mind was already reached by his sword.

The Unity of Man and Sword is to turn the sword into a part of the body, and when the body is threatened, the sword in hand reacts like a reflex to fend off dangers.

"Not enough, not enough..."

Ye Qingfeng felt as if there was still a paper-thin barrier in front of him, which he couldn’t break through.

Nevertheless, the speed of the sword skills in Ye Qingfeng’s hand was at least twice as fast as before.

Now, each swing of Ye Qingfeng’s sword simultaneously took the lives of more than a hundred Gold-Biting Rats in front of him.

It can be imagined how fast Ye Qingfeng’s swordsmanship had become, almost reaching the level of directing as effortlessly as an arm.

"No, more than a hundred Gold-Biting Rats can no longer allow my swordsmanship to progress."

Ye Qingfeng suddenly jolted out from the epiphany because the speed of the Gold-Biting Rats in rushing to kill him couldn’t keep up with his speed of killing them.

This immediately interrupted Ye Qingfeng’s realization.

"I haven’t reached the Unity Realm yet."

Ye Qingfeng felt that although his swordsmanship had improved remarkably, it still lacked that final touch to break through that barrier.

"No, must maintain the current state..."

At this moment, Ye Qingfeng understood that he had entered a wonderful realm.

In his mind, sword skills were constantly proving the ideas he had envisioned.

If this feeling was cut off now, who knows when he would be able to reach the Unity Realm again.

Moreover, some Sword Dao masters get stuck at the Peak of Sword like Rain and can’t reach the Unity Realm for their entire lives.

Thus, Ye Qingfeng must seize this opportunity to break through to the Unity Realm in one go.

Now, if he continued to hide in the groove, he faced too few Demon Beasts, and his swordsmanship wouldn’t progress one bit.

"It’s worth dying for the Dao once it’s found!"

Now, Ye Qingfeng finally understood why someone would say such words.

Without any hesitation, after dealing with the few Gold-Biting Rats before him, Ye Qingfeng stepped out directly from the groove of the mountain peak.

Before his eyes lay a dense mass of Rat Beasts.

Without the concealment of the perfect spot, Ye Qingfeng now only had his back against the mountain and would not be attacked from behind.

But aside from behind, Ye Qingfeng now faced at least five hundred Gold-Biting Rats, along with an endless wave of Rat Beasts.

Moreover, some elite-level Gold-Biting Rats had even sprouted wings.

Now, Ye Qingfeng not only faced attacks from the ground but also had to fend off those flying Gold-Biting Rats overhead.

"Zhi zhi zhi!!!"

The Basic-level Mortal Beast Gold-Biting Rats didn’t possess much intelligence, and seeing Ye Qingfeng jump out from the groove, more Gold-Biting Rats frenziedly pounced towards him.
