Huai Ziyou's swift sword was not defined by speed alone.
The Soul Chasing Swordplay comprised a total of One Hundred and Eighth Sword. It could be said that the first one hundred and seven swords all pursued ultimate speed, each sword faster than the last, creating deadly strikes that left the enemy gasping for breath.
But this final sword was different.
The "speed" of the final form of the Soul Chasing Sword, the One Hundred and Eighth Sword, lay in shifting from extreme speed to extreme stillness—the speed with which one adapted to the transition between the two.
Once an enemy had adapted to the attacking rhythm of the first one hundred and seven swords, exerting every effort to defend against that swift sword momentum and raising their own sword speed to an extreme level, a sudden instant of stillness would inevitably cause them to instinctively fall into a brief stagnation as well.
No one could resist the pull of that instinctive inertia.
Those of weaker strength might not even keep pace with that instant of stillness. Driven by inertia, they would instead block one extra time against empty air.
But such weak opponents could never force Huai Ziyou to unleash his One Hundred and Eighth Sword.
And that was precisely the true essence of his Soul Chasing Sword.
What it pursued was adapting to the shifts between ultimate stillness and ultimate motion faster than one's enemy.

Just like Huai Ziyou's sword, which had found a bright point of breakthrough.
The instant Lu Feng successfully blocked the One Hundred and Seventh Sword, Huai Ziyou created a brief
