Chapter 67

The sword of the heretic Fang Heng is very fast, and it is the fastest one Su Chen has ever seen.

It was so fast that even though he was already prepared, he could only see an afterimage.

Phew!

As the blood sword passed by, a line of blood immediately appeared on his cheek, along with tiny blood beads.

The sword cut off some of the hair on his temples, and a few strands of hair floated in the air.

Fortunately, the sword of the heretic Fang Heng just brushed past his cheek and did not hit the vital point.

Otherwise, this sword alone would be enough to kill him on the spot.

In other words, the person who performed this traceless sword technique was not Fang Heng himself but a heretic demon who occupied Fang Heng's body.

The speed of the sword technique is only about half of the original speed.

Otherwise, even if he had been prepared, he would not have been able to dodge the sword.

But even so, the heretic Fang Heng had to admit that Su Chen was able to achieve this by only using the Qi gathering stage.

There is indeed a reason for arrogance.

But that's not enough...

"You can dodge the first sword, but I don't believe you can dodge the second and third swords!"

The heretic Fang Heng snorted coldly, and his blood-sword right hand turned into an afterimage and began to fall on Su Chen continuously.

Perhaps because Su Chen dodged his first sword, he was a little angry.

Therefore, his subsequent attacks deliberately avoided Su Chen's vital points.

Every time the sword fell, it only left a minor wound on Su Chen's body.

Although these wounds were not fatal, they made Su Chen feel excruciating pain.

The main goal is to torture the opponent.

Facing the serious heretic Fang Heng, although Su Chen wanted to fight back, he could not find a suitable opportunity.

He could only try his best to observe the opponent's swordsmanship and dodge as much as possible.

Seeing his miserable appearance at this moment, the heretic Fang Heng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, so running away like a stray dog is what you call the Tao?"

"Cry, be angry, be in despair, and die!"

Facing the provocation from the heretic, Fang Heng and Su Chen did not respond.

At this moment, he was like a small boat in the stormy sea, struggling to hold on.

But he is not without a chance.

His lotus-shaped pupils kept spinning, recording every sword swung by the heretic Fang Heng.

Maybe he was tired of playing, or maybe he felt that Su Chen could not pose any threat to him.

The heretic Fang Heng finally stopped playing with Su Chen.

"Kid, some things are useless just for talking."

"If you say Fang Heng is a coward, he has a lot of talent but is unable to display it."

"That boy is just a reckless man. Although he has good talent, he lacks the proper respect for the strong."

"In your next life, remember not to argue in front of the strong. Otherwise, you will only make them laugh."

As the words fell, Su Chen only saw a flash of cold light.

The blood sword reflected in the lotus pupil grew bigger and bigger until it pierced his throat.

Looking at Su Chen's corpse, the heretic Fang Heng did not feel happy for some reason but instead felt indescribable uneasiness.

He looked at the calm expression on Su Chen's face, and something seemed to be wrong.

But he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Impossible. This guy is just a small Qi-gathering stage cultivator, and he is already dead. What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Yes, he is dead, completely dead."

On the second floor of the sword pavilion, in front of the main gate.

[You carefully observed the enemy's swordsmanship, gained some insights, and unlocked a new skill... Traceless Swordsmanship]

[Because of your extremely high attainments in swordsmanship, your traceless swordsmanship has been improved to a small success level].

[Traceless Sword Skill: Small Success: 1/2000]

[Effect: The ultimate fast sword technique; without trace or form, the sword is not stained with blood, and when it is fully mastered, it can produce a traceless sword shadow.]

"The ultimate fast sword."

Su Chen sat cross-legged in front of the main door on the second floor of the sword pavilion, recalling the battle he had just had with the heretic Fang Heng.

To be honest, the traceless sword technique created by Fang Heng is not special.

He simply simplified every move and form to the extreme, so that every sword strike could go straight to the vital point and avoid any unnecessary movements.

Not complicated, yet highly effective.

A person who is peaceful by nature and doesn't like killing but has created an ultimate sword technique for killing people.

It has to be said that things in this world are unpredictable.

The reason why the traceless sword technique can reach extreme speeds.

Of course, it's not just because his sword moves are refined enough, but also because of its unique spiritual power operation.

Every time he strikes with his sword, he mobilizes all his strength, producing a terrifying explosion in an extremely short period.

It can be imagined that while such sword moves bring extreme speed, they will also place a considerable burden on the cultivator himself.

Therefore, the Traceless Sword Technique is, in general, a set of sword techniques that allows for quick battles and quick decisions.

If you cannot defeat the enemy within the specified time,

There is no need to wait for the enemy to attack; the person who uses the Traceless Sword Technique will be exhausted first.

In this regard, the Traceless Sword Technique has many similarities with the Water Dragon Roar Technique.

This is why Su Chen was able to improve this sword technique to the 'small success' level immediately after learning the initial stage of the Traceless Sword Technique.

"Although the Traceless Sword Technique is good, it is the same as my Water Dragon Roar. The power of the sword technique depends on one's own cultivation and physical fitness."

"Although the attainment of the heretic Fang Heng in the traceless sword technique is not as high as the original Fang Heng, it is only at the large success level."

"But his heretic demon body has greatly made up for the weakness of the traceless sword technique, allowing him to last longer than the original Fang Heng."

"Plus, his cultivation has reached the first level of the foundation-establishment stage. Whether it is the weight or quality of his spiritual power, it is far superior to mine."

"So if I want to defeat the heretic Fang Heng, a protracted battle is not going to work. I must have the ability to kill him with one strike to win this time."

Facing a strong man like heretic Fang Heng, who is in the foundation-establishment stage, can Su Chen kill him with one strike?

Although he can't do it now, that doesn't mean he can't do it in the future.

Because his traceless swordsmanship will not always remain at the level of small success.

Especially when there is a demon from the Foundation Establishment Stage who has also practiced the Traceless Sword Technique as a sparring partner.

Su Chen stood up and added the three talisman effects of "Divine-speed Talisman," "Eagle Eye Talisman," and "Giant Strength Talisman" to himself again.

Then he placed the disciple token into the recess next to the wooden door and activated the door.

As the door to the second floor opened again, Su Chen walked in calmly.

Although there is a huge gap between him and the heretic Fang Heng, at the moment, the gap is not so big that he feels it cannot be made up.

As long as he practices the Traceless Sword Technique to the point of extreme state.

After that, as long as he combines it with his own Water Dragon Roar Sword Technique, he will have reached an extreme state.

He has every chance to defeat his superiors and challenge opponents at higher levels.

But before that, he needs to suffer a little more.

Others spend a lot of time learning swordsmanship.

But Su Chen is more amazing. He learns swordsmanship by risking his life!

If fighting is the best teacher, then death is the best lesson!

After all, other people can only learn this lesson once in their lifetime.

But he can die countless times to ensure that he will not make the same mistake next time.
