Free Web NovelChapter 1252: Chapter 423: Magpie Bridge_3
What’s the point of seeking meaning in life?
He had no future, the more conspicuous he became, the faster he would die. It was better to muddle through life, enjoying each day as it came.
Uncle Deng never demanded anything from him; he respected all his choices...
But after seeing that severed finger, everything changed.
He was too smart to believe in himself.
Unable to harbor hope forever like those "fools".
But he finally realized profoundly—
Escape was futile.
The dark gold Sword Qi dancing between his fingers was extraordinarily lustrous.
Most people present could only recognize it as a unique usage of Geng Metal Sword Qi, but couldn’t see its essence.
It actually had a charming name, called...
"Magpie Bridge Immortal". freewebnøvel.coɱ
The battle with Yin Wenhua had not forced out the true form of this technique.
Only someone like Yellow Sheri, the pride of Overlord Country, would receive the treatment of probing its foundation.
Now, he wished to let the world know.
The clear light enveloping the Arena dispersed like flowing water. Yu Xi had already announced the start of the duel.
Zhao Rucheng immediately thrust his hand forward!
In a battle between powerhouses, victory was decided in an instant.
Yellow Sheri had already begun to move, but Zhao Rucheng’s Geng Metal Sword Qi had arrived!
Thousands of dark gold Sword Qi left his hand and transformed into sword magpies, each one following the tail of the one before it. Each connection resulted in a sudden burst of speed.
Connected head-to-tail, the sword magpies formed a bridge.
This bridge made of dark gold sword magpies reached Yellow Sheri almost as soon as it left Zhao Rucheng’s hands—such incredible speed!
Turning Sword Qi into threads, condensing Sword Qi into swords, making Sword Qi fly like needles and arrows, these were all but simple applications.
The real profundity of the "Magpie Bridge Immortal" Geng Metal Sword Qi lies in this very technique, the "Magpie Bridge"!
This move had a name, "Once a year the magpies meet, once a lifetime this move is seen."
Because after seeing this move, the so-called "lifetime" no longer exists.
How fast was this sword?
Jiang Wang from below the stage thought to himself, even if he were to Walk in the Sky, sweeping through old generals at twilight, he couldn’t match the speed of this sword!
This sword was so fast that...
Yellow Sheri had just raised her hand, and the Demon-Subduing Pestle named Subduing Demon in her hand had just lifted a corner.
The Magpie Bridge had already arrived.
It pierced through not just distance but also the qi Yellow Sheri had in front of her, the space she had to react!
The spectators almost held their breath.
The prodigy of Mugu wanted to end his opponent with a single strike!!
But this...
Of course, was not possible.
Almost at the same moment the Magpie Bridge was seen,
A green and lustrous gem-like object, egg-shaped, flickered in Yellow Sheri’s bright eyes.
It was quick as a flash.
This was the Bodhi magical power.
Many people in Jingguo knew of this Divine Skill of Yellow Sheri, and naturally, prodigies from other countries weren’t unfamiliar with this intelligence.
The effect of this Divine Skill lay in—
"Activating the Bodhi State."
It could be used for cultivation as well as combat.
What is "Enlightenment"?
Being alert at all times, gaining new insights into everything in the world.
To explain it more simply, under the Bodhi magical power, Yellow Sheri’s combat response, understanding, and seizing of opportunities... would all have a comprehensive enhancement!
The Magpie Bridge was seen, and it had already reached her.
As soon as Bodhi appeared, everything became clear.
Yellow Sheri flipped the Demon-Subduing Pestle, grasped it with both hands by the handle, and without hesitation, thrust the triangular pointed end directly in front of her!
So fast, so decisive!
Almost at the same moment the bridge of sword magpies extended over, her Subduing Demon Staff had already thrust forward.
And the sharp tip of the staff precisely pierced through a sword magpie three feet in front of her, shattering it into scattered, ownerless Sword Qi.
Why was this thrust precise?
Because this sword magpie was precisely the heart of the entire bridge of sword magpies and was the trigger point for Zhao Rucheng’s next wave of attack. That is to say, the next transformation of the Magpie Bridge move was doomed in the embryo.
People could clearly see the gorgeous and splendid bridge of sword magpies flying through the air.
With her bright yellow long robe fluttering behind her, Yellow Sheri held the Demon-Subduing Pestle in her hands, piercing through the bridge of sword magpies, showcasing her athletic figure.
The dark gold bridge of sword magpies shined against her bronzed skin, casting radiance.
And the entire breathtaking bridge of sword magpies disintegrated in front of her.
Beauty crumbling before beauty herself.
With just one thrust, the Magpie Bridge was doomed!
Zhao Rucheng seemed unsurprised.
He loosely clasped his left hand, drew with his right, extracting a longsword entwined from Geng Metal Sword Qi, and then stepped onto the disintegrating bridge of sword magpies. freewёbnoνel.com
He approached over the bridge.
Before the bridge of sword magpies completely collapsed, he reached Yellow Sheri, his Geng Metal sword already at her neck!
Below the stage, Jiang Wang’s expression flickered slightly.
This slash of his carried a hint of the air of a wandering scholar caught between life and death, deep feuds and vendettas!
Of course, the actual Fa Men used and the techniques were different.
Just like when he learned Zhengxuan’s ten-year hidden sword strike, it was the ambiance that he mastered.
Facing this slash, Yellow Sheri, in her Bodhi State, decisively pulled back the Demon-Subduing Pestle. Loosening her left hand smoothly and gripping the staff single-handedly with her right, she struck the top of his oncoming slash with the head of the Buddha on the pestle!
This series of actions were simple, direct, naturally flowing, possessing nearly an aesthetic sense of being close to Enlightenment.
And Zhao Rucheng’s Geng Metal sword was directly struck apart, exploding into a sky filled with dark gold Sword Qi!
