Thousand-Household Manor.
Li Changfeng forcefully extinguished all the imposing sword energy within his body by circulating his true energy.
He then spat out a mouthful of black, stagnant blood and slowly opened his eyes. "Finally, I've dispelled the sword energy within my body!"
"Report!" A voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Come in!"
A member of the Brocade-Clad Guard slowly opened the gate, cupped his hands, and said, "Reporting to Commander Qian! The five chief stewards request an audience!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng nodded, immediately understanding their purpose. "Let them come over!"
"Yes, sir!" the Brocade-Clad Guard said, and slowly retreated.
A moment later.
The five stewards slowly approached Li Changfeng and said with a faint smile, "Commander! This matter is settled. We have come to take our leave and bring back the traitor Cao Shaoqing. Please grant us your request, Commander!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng laughed loudly, "Hahaha! I am very grateful for the help of the five stewards! You may take Cao Shaoqing with you at any time!"
The five stewards chuckled and said, "Then thank you very much, Commander! Grand Supervisor Cao will remember this favor. You can come to him if you need anything in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng waved his hand and said, "This matter was entirely thanks to Grand Supervisor Cao's help. This is nothing of a favor. Please thank Grand Supervisor Cao for me!"
The five stewards gave him a deep look upon hearing this. "In that case, we will convey your message. We will take our leave now!"
"Alright! Then I'll treat you to a meal!"
Li Changfeng slowly saw the five stewards off, then took a deep breath. "It's been a while since I checked the system. Let's see how much I've accumulated!"
Li Changfeng opened the system panel, and a bunch of Fame stats popped up.
Fame +100.
Fame +100
Fame +100
Inner Force: 500 years (jin)
Strength value: jin
Fame: Martial Arts Hero (1510/3000)
Experience Points: points
Cultivation Points: 110
"Wow! This Fame has already reached over a thousand points! Not bad! Not bad!"
Li Changfeng pondered the shortcomings in his own abilities.
He then discovered that with his current defenses, it would be difficult to withstand attacks from a Grandmaster.
"It seems I need to break through this Shaolin Bronze Body Skill to the Indestructible Divine Skill!"
Li Changfeng took out a Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Pill, hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed it in one gulp. Instantly, his whole body became hot, his veins bulged, and his bones and tendons cracked, causing him to experience extreme pain as if his bones and tendons were being scraped and pulled out.
Li Changfeng gritted his teeth against the wood in excruciating pain, uttering no sound, his hands clenched so tightly that they made a cracking sound.
After persisting for half an hour, the effects of the medicine finally wore off, and my muscles and bones felt much stronger, but I was still far from achieving the Indestructible Divine Skill.
At this moment, Li Changfeng was panting heavily, "Taking this pill is too painful! It seems that I can't take this pill every day, I have to take one every other day, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it!"
Suddenly, Li Changfeng seemed to remember something. He slowly took out the thing Xia Wu had given him before he died. After examining it, he discovered that it was actually a sword technique manual, and there was even a map on the back of the book.
The final location on the map is a sword-shaped symbol, which looks like a place of heritage.
The cover of the manual bore the words: "Heavy Sword, No Edge; Great Skill is No Skill!"
This sword technique differs from previous sword manuals, taking a different approach. Generally speaking, it emphasizes unconventional methods, sharpness, surprise attacks, and speed.
This sword technique is indeed based on strength, and can be described as overwhelming force with sheer power. Each move is as heavy as a thousand pounds, carrying a powerful and terrifying force to destroy everything.
If you are strong enough, you can only block or dodge when a sword strikes, and you will not be able to counter it.
Compared to those sword techniques that rely on speed and surprise, this one is simple and straightforward. The key to this sword technique is the phrase "Heavy Sword, No Edge, and Great Skill is No Skill."
However, it would be extremely difficult to master the greatsword to that level, and Xia Wu hadn't even scratched the surface.
However, for someone with Li Changfeng's strength, it should be even easier and simpler to practice!
Li Changfeng then examined the sword moves inside. There were five moves in total: Mountain-Splitting Strike, Sweeping a Thousand Armies, Thunderous Might, Great Skill is No Skill, and Mountain Shattering, Earth Rending.
Every move is powerful and invincible, especially the last move, which is extremely powerful!
Xia Wu could only practice three moves, so he had to modify the sword technique into three heavy sword moves!
After reading it, Li Changfeng felt a surge of excitement. Without saying a word, he spent 100 Cultivation Points to enter the training system.
Li Changfeng slowly took out Xia Wu's giant sword, played with it for a while, and found that the sword was a bit light, weighing only one or two thousand catties, and could not unleash the true power of the sword move!
Then Li Changfeng poured his true energy into the sword and swung it violently.
The more he swung the sword, the heavier it became. After hundreds of swings, the sword weighed over ten thousand pounds. Li Changfeng, who was holding the sword with one hand, was almost thrown away by the giant sword. He was startled!
"What... what's going on! It suddenly got so heavy! If I keep swinging it, I probably won't be able to lift it!" Li Changfeng said, looking very troubled.
"Enough! This sword has a spirit! There must be a reason behind it!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng picked up the giant sword and slowly swung it around. After swinging it dozens of times, Li Changfeng started panting heavily. "After reaching 20,000 jin, it finally stopped increasing in weight!"
Then Li Changfeng suddenly began practicing his moves, relentlessly practicing sword strikes within the training system. When he got tired, he would rest for a while and then take a Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Pill to torture himself a bit.
Li Changfeng accidentally discovered that after consuming the Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Pill, practicing swordsmanship directly could alleviate his pain and allow him to absorb the medicinal effects more quickly.
The medicine can be fully absorbed in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and the effect is much better than simply taking it as is!
Six months have passed quietly.
Li Changfeng was disheveled and in a mess, but his aura was even more powerful and wild. He had grown taller and his muscles were perfectly defined. The muscles on his back vaguely revealed a face like a demon god, and his strength had increased significantly!
Li Changfeng unleashed his full power of true energy, unleashing the first move of the "Heavy Sword, No Edge" technique, "Mountain-Splitting Strike with Force." Streams of wild and powerful true energy surged into the giant sword, and his entire body exuded a heavy and fierce aura. With a sudden leap, he slashed down with his sword from mid-air.
The sword force was powerful and heavy, carrying the earth-shattering might of a sword cleaving Mount Hua. It transformed into a hundred-foot-long black, fierce sword aura, which slashed fiercely at the chaotic gas. Wherever the sword aura passed, the air exploded and twisted, and bursts of explosions rang out. Its power was extremely terrifying!
"Boom!"
A violent explosion rang out as the chaotic gas was cleaved apart by Li Changfeng's furious sword strike. It then coalesced back into a gray figure, wielding a giant sword and unleashing the first move of the "Heavy Sword, No Edge" technique, "Mountain-Splitting Strike," fiercely slashing at Li Changfeng.
Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Well done!"
After saying that, his entire body erupted with true energy, and he once again used the first move of the [Heavy Sword, No Edge], "Mountain-Splitting Strike," to unleash a hundred-foot-long black, fierce sword aura that clashed with the gray figure.
"Bang!"
A piercing metallic clang rang out as the two men's heavy swords clashed violently, unleashing an extremely violent shockwave that erupted fiercely during their clash, transforming into ripples that spread wildly outwards.
Li Changfeng was thrown into the air by the shock, his hands were split open and blood flowed out. Even so, Li Changfeng held the greatsword tightly and did not let go, fulfilling the basic requirement of a swordsman: never let go of the sword!
Li Changfeng crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, while the gray figure was also shaken by the force and turned into a mass of chaotic energy.
