Chapter 156: Stop

【Clear Chime】

Seeing Pei Ye still couldn't use this sword against a stronger opponent in actual combat, but this time he had already completed 【Spread Wings】 before the battle started.

This was almost his strongest power in a conventional state. Faced with the tsunami coming toward him, this sword was like a cicada meeting the wind.

One advanced firmly, the other erupted surgingly, two equally tough sword intents tit-for-tat.

Gold and iron clashed. In an instant, half of his forearm seemed to have lost sensation, and Seeing Pei Ye felt his whole body as if it had been blown up by a gale.

No wonder that person died on the wall.

This thought flashed through Seeing Pei Ye's mind. He wouldn't replicate this way of death, because there was no wall behind him.

Seeing Pei Ye's body flew up, but his eyes were stuck on the state of the opponent's sword, and then he saw that although the opponent's footsteps hadn't moved, his sword-holding wrist had indeed clearly tilted under 【Clear Chime】.

Fifth Life.

Seeing Pei Ye, who had had many sparring sessions with Li Piaoqing, concluded.

A very strong Fifth Life.

At the same time, Seeing Pei Ye keenly felt that this sword actually had quite a few immature points. First of all, the opponent didn't seem to have learned it at all.

He used it very reluctantly, somewhat like Seeing Pei Ye's first use of 【Flying Copper Shadow】, but actually even worse. He didn't even seem to understand the spirit of this sword.

Secondly, the power this time was a cut lower than that time on the second floor.

He didn't know if it had anything to do with the time he stood there.

Seeing Pei Ye was in the air. These two thoughts flashed by, and the stiff face surrounded by green clothes had flashed to his eyes, a sword stabbing straight at his throat.

This sword was both fast and strong, with abundant true Qi wrapping the blade. Without a second 【Clear Chime】, Seeing Pei Ye would definitely be unable to block it.

However, this person didn't know how to use a sword.

In Seeing Pei Ye's keen sword sense, the person in front of him definitely couldn't be called familiar with a weapon like a sword. The sword was very awkward in his hand, just like a sharpened iron bar.

The green-clothed man himself also understood this point, but in his view, Fifth Life killing Second Life, holding a wooden stick was enough.

As long as it was fast enough, you couldn't dodge; as long as it was strong enough, you couldn't block.

The green-clothed man's idea of a sword was just that simple. He actually never understood why such a weapon had to be endowed with so many mysteries. No matter how exquisite the moves were, didn't they eventually fall to true Qi and power?

Why carve skills instead of advancing cultivation?

Seeing Pei Ye answered him.

The youth stabbed thirteen swords in an instant.

The blades clashed, and the sound of "ding ding" connected into a piece, but this ding ding sound wasn't that crisp, but rather soft and even slow, like... the gnawing of spring silkworms.

【Eating Leaves】

The sixth move of the Cicada Sword, more exquisite and harder to master than Spread Wings and Clear Chime, requiring the sword wielder's control to reach an unimaginable level.

It required the sword wielder to be able to "touch and leave, eat without hurting" when facing a sword attack three times stronger than themselves, lightly and cleverly completing the weakening of the opponent's sword momentum. It was a response sword to break a killing sword.

This was Seeing Pei Ye's first time using it, and he used this sword beautifully. The first swing entered and collided at a precise oblique angle. After giving the surging sword in front of him a counter-force, it swung out a beautiful arc like a dragonfly touching water.

Without the slightest leakage of power, the youth's wrist led, and he slashed down again. The sword had always been like a well-behaved elf in his hand. They would never produce any conflict.

The second entry stole the power generated by the first collision and returned it all. The angle of this collision needed to be fine-tuned based on the changes produced after the first collision of the two swords.

This was the difficult part of this sword, and also the exquisite part.

Thirteen swords in a row were given to the enemy in front. When the green-clothed man's sword started, it was like a majestic sea wave pressing over, unstoppable, but from the moment the first "ding" rang, this sea wave began to subside downward, and when it crossed this distance to Seeing Pei Ye, it had become a trickling stream.

Borrowing force to eliminate force, that violent and huge power seemed to be swallowed up silently by something invisible. After the last "ding" rang, Seeing Pei Ye lightly inverted the sword on his arm, raised his left hand, and clamped the short sword in front of him with his fingers.

Like picking up a delicate and powerless flower.

At this moment, the two drifted to the ground.

"You don't know how to use a sword," Seeing Pei Ye said, "Why don't you draw your saber?"

The green-clothed man stopped for a moment, his facial skin moving slightly, his teeth seemingly biting tightly.

He was facing a choice.

"With a sword, you can't kill me," Seeing Pei Ye continued calmly, "But if you kill me with a saber, you are worried about leaving traces. Is your saber not to be seen? Or is it precisely because you still want to use it to see people that you dare not use it on this corpse of mine?"

The green-clothed man raised his brows violently, his wolf eyes staring at Seeing Pei Ye.

"This is the fourth time we've met," Seeing Pei Ye looked calmly at these young eyes, viciousness, tension, dilemma, and cruelty all gathered in them.

"Maybe we don't have to be like this," Seeing Pei Ye said.

He had indeed recognized him.

——The tired and nervous youth who suddenly appeared in the uninhabited mountains and forests, the agile and difficult-to-deal-with black-clothed man in the noisy and dim casino, the calm and crazy killer leaning against the wall under the restaurant.

These were three completely different people, and also the silhouettes left by a youth in the process of rapid growth in just over ten days.

From the change in his attitude toward himself, Seeing Pei Ye could also see that the youth was gradually walking toward a desperate situation.

——If what you carry is bloody and heavy enough, and your situation is narrow and urgent enough, you have no leisure to take care of those useless kindnesses.

This was of course a kind of pulling up seedlings to help them grow. The youth's original heartstrings were ground madly, becoming tougher and tougher, and at the same time stretched tighter and tighter. If the former was faster than the latter, this was a rapid maturity; if the latter was faster than the former, that was a collapse.

Judging from the youth's state today, the dangerous consequences of the latter had been revealed.

There was pressure from all directions, and under the thin ice, he had no time to take care of too much. In order to achieve this goal that must be achieved today, killing an innocent person was no longer a burden.

"You can also choose to continue trying to kill me, then I will have to kill you," Seeing Pei Ye said seriously.

The green-clothed man tilted his head: "You kill me?"

"I can show you this ability, but then you won't have a chance to regret it."

"You haven't seen my saber yet."

"You haven't seen my sword yet either."

"... Why should I believe you?" the green-clothed man said hoarsely.

Seeing Pei Ye shook his head: "It is you who should make me believe you."

"..."

These words seemed to touch something. The green-clothed man raised his head coldly, "No one will believe me."

"Have you said it to everyone in the world?"

"..."

"'Half a quarter of an hour' isn't long," Seeing Pei Ye said, "We can establish trust by exchanging a few questions, can we?" ===== CHAPTER 157 =====
