"Is this... Ghost Three Slashes!?"
Ximen Li had personally studied the martial skill manual for Ghost Three Slashes.
Through the incomplete portions of the manual, he could make out some of its mysteries, yet what he could recognize now was all he could recognize; he could understand no more.
He had never imagined that it was precisely this understanding that allowed him to recognize the extraordinary nature of Qin Shaofeng's slash.
He had actually used this blade to execute the rudimentary form of Ghost Three Slashes.
That was right—only its shadow and shape, without the slightest trace of its essence.
Yet Ximen Li did not know that it was not that Qin Shaofeng could not do more with this blade. The instant Qin Shaofeng noticed the problem, he had begun suppressing the turbulent power within the blade with all his strength.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
Even so, the moment he swung the blade, waves of humming immediately rang out.
Amid the humming.
That piranha shooting toward him at breakneck speed was instantly cleaved into two beneath his blade's edge.
It died just like that, with absurd ease.
Because of Ximen Li's cry of surprise, the elders who had turned back to look could all clearly see that Qin Shaofeng's slash had truly been a casual swing.
Thus, the piranha's death beneath a single slash had to be credited entirely to that blade.
"This blade is actually so terrifying!?"
The shock in Qin Shaofeng's heart was even greater.
The reason he had dared take out this blade was because he knew there was something special within it, though it was not some secret that could not see the light of day.
But how could he have known that the secret inside truly could not be exposed?
"Haha, what a fine blade!"
