The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 72 - The Resurrection of the Demon Monster VII
Having previously felt the hope of stopping this demon now Xin Fai had to accept the fact that she had to face herself, Xin Fai steeled his footing to hold back the enemy's slash.
"I won't lose to myself! You know, I've always desperately crossed a threshold and conquered myself. Beating you is not difficult for me!"
Xin Fai's words sounded bold, though not so sure but Xin Fai did not care anymore. He has to finish this fight immediately or the casualties out there are increasing.
Seeing the swing of the sword being moved so strongly Xin Fai rewinded himself so as not to be affected by the attack, he could only gulp bitterly seeing his enemy turned out to be a formidable opponent.
For a moment a sad smile was plastered on his face, when his father was still alive he often heard the advice of the grumpy man. His father's words he always remembered in his memory.
"*You know? The most dangerous enemy to man is himself." Xin Wao who was fishing put on a serious face, Xin Fai at that time did not really understand what his father meant. He just stood listening on the boat bridge.
"And the one who knows our weaknesses and strengths the most is ourselves."
Xin Fai looked at her father confusedly. "So, do you think there's a way to beat ourselves?"
The man who was like a cypress tree commented on the smile knot*.
"You can conquer yourself by becoming stronger than ever, it's easy. By exceeding the threshold." Xin Fai said back to his father's words, he held the sword hilt so tight. The enemy in front of him stared with a flat face.
"I just need to surpass myself to defeat you."
Xin Fai's footsteps grew longer and faster, her mastery of inner energy increased. He was able to recover his lost stamina with high breathing techniques.
The Celestial Emperor Sword struck the two swords in the hands of Xin Fai's enemies ferociously, sparks arising from his friction being too strong from both Xin Fai and his enemies.
The fight again began, various moves Xin Fai released in a row without pause. His enemy took out the form of a thousand spirits who were now dealing with the spirits that were on Xin Fai's side.
Their strength clashed with each other in a draw long enough, sometimes Xin Fai who had to retreat and vice versa. Xin Fai pulled away for a while to catch her breath.
He recalled that when training had studied for a while the moves of the Book of Seven Keys, although he did not train them but he felt that using them now might be useful.
Xin Fai closed his eyes for a moment before re-collecting his profound energy, golden light radiating out very brightly even briefly outwitting the demons attacking Qiang Jun.
"That's straight..." Qiang Jun muttered as he looked at Xin Fai. He could see the Celestial Emperor Sword reacting as the child was about to take out his nurse.
The energy emanating from the Celestial Emperor Sword enveloped Xin Fai's body gradually, momentarily forming a robe as well as a faint golden-colored crown on his head.
"He has opened the first gate of the Book of Seven Keys."
In the Book of Seven Keys, the first gate can be opened when the user reaches 100 power circles to be able to open two keys, the Moon Key and the Spirit Key.
Opening the second gate required 500 inner power circles to be able to unlock the Sky Lock and Soul Lock. In the third gate it takes 1000 deep power to obtain the Earth Lock and Inner Key.
And the last of the fourth gate will deliver its users to the unlimited power, namely the Universal Key, the seventh key that requires 3000 inner power circles.
These seven keys are a very feared style in the time of Qiang Jun to date, because this high-level science was created by a Sky Emperor Swordsman who was rumored to match the strength of the gods.
The enemy moved without feeling affected by the burst of energy emanating in Xin Fai's body, he struck out a full-strength sword.
Despite using both of his swords yet the weapon in Xin Fai's hands could withstand it easily.
"I will kill you," Xin Fai said coldly. Suddenly the atmosphere was filled with thick murderous air, his enemy could sense that.
Xin Fai's hand held high after repelling the attack, she prepared to perform the highest skill she had learned.
"The Book of Seven Keys - the Hundred Full Sword!"
Qiang Jun was unable to keep up with Xin Fai's movements anymore, all he saw were consecutive sword incisions that formed a full golden circle within the prison. Its speed offset the Lightning Steps.
The deadly attack severely injured his enemy and the sound of a sword breaking from there was heard. Now the Demon Blood Man's sword belonging to his enemy had been split in two.
As the name suggests it requires a hundred sword slashes with high inner power.
With his real body, Xin Fai would not be able to use this style and that was what made him not dare to learn it, his inner power would be drained out in less than ten seconds if he used it.
Xin Fai's enemies spewed out pitch-black blood, his body filled with deep incisions that tore through his skin. He raised his head with trembling lips.
"I'll kill you!"
The duel caused an uproar, the demon watching seriously. The longer the more clearly the fear is described when a few seconds later the creature was defeated by Xin Fai.
When his enemy was in a cornered state, Xin Fai prepared to scatter his manager.
"The Book of Seven Keys - The Path of a Thousand Spirits!"
The body was cut in half without bleeding, the enemy shouted with an echoing voice. A thousand moving spirits ate his corpse and disappeared just like that.
A moment later without thinking again Xin Fai tried to cut the prison iron using a sword. Because the iron was too hard Xin Fai slowly clicked on it.
Feeling that he still has time to prepare the next move, the demon began to recover his strength for a moment while closing his eyes.
So many moves he uses makes his strength decrease, and if he has no more power he can just disappear from the face of this earth.
After recovering his strength for a while the demon raised his hand, he opened his eyes and found a boy leaping high towards him.
"Dead you!"
The saber ripped the demon's eyes to blood, the demon thrashed as it created a huge iron barrier in a hurry to prevent Xin Fai from attacking him.
But Xin Fai who had a small body could overtake between the cracks, the demon cursed in annoyance. A boy like Xin Fai was indeed too cunning for a child his age.
With a great inner strength Xin Fai was enough to widen the prison iron using his hands and then get out of there, he did not buy any more time. While increasing his running speed to the highest level he could finally reach the Lightning Steps. The next stage of the Light Step.
The devil could not see clearly anymore because his other two eyes were stained with blood from the eyes above him. He took a few steps back. But Xin Fai's speed was slightly faster than her.
"Stop playing games with me, boy!"
"You're the one who complicates things! Just give me my body back and I'll go!"
