Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 505: Sword Controlling Technique Level 2

Facing the sword coming down on his head by Li Zhi, even a ruthless man like Dou Ying did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

He quickly stretched out his hand, muttering something, and the black talisman that originally contained the five evil spirits suddenly roared as if alive. It instantly appeared in front of him, blocking Li Zhi's sword like a shield.

Li Zhi was surprised to see that his sword was blocked so easily by Dou Ying, but he was not discouraged.

He growled, "Five Ghosts!"

Following his shout, the five little ghosts who had finally broken free from the talismans roared in unison and pounced on Dou Ying fearlessly.

At the same time, Dou Ying controlled the spine sword and struck Li Zhi's waist like lightning.

This sword is extremely fast and powerful.

However, Li Zhi was already prepared.

Just as the spine sword was about to hit him, a layer of light suddenly appeared on his body, and the fire and earth armor on his body bloomed with brilliance.

There was a crisp "clang" sound, and the spine sword hit the fire and earth armor fiercely, sparks flying everywhere, but it failed to cause fatal damage to Li Zhi.

Although this attack failed to seriously injure Li Zhi, it did push Li Zhi back a few steps.

After splitting Li Zhi in half, the spine sword did not continue to chase Li Zhi. Instead, it immediately changed direction and pounced directly at the five little ghosts like a ferocious wolf.

Logically speaking, the Five Ghosts should not be afraid of the evil aura emanating from the Spine Sword.

But this evil aura was still mixed with traces of extremely sharp sword energy.

The five ghosts did not dare to take it head-on and immediately scattered to avoid the attack of the spine sword.

At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly shouted loudly: "I also know how to control the sword!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly threw the black sword in his hand with force.

The black sword flew straight towards Dou Ying like an arrow.

After hearing what Li Zhi said, Dou Ying was shocked. Sword-controlling technique is the signature spell of Shushan. How could it be easily learned by others?

However, just when Dou Ying was beginning to have doubts, he saw the black sword flying rapidly in the air. Suddenly, as if controlled by a mysterious force, it twisted violently and instantly turned into a giant centipede covered with eyes!

Dou Ying couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this: "Haha, it turns out it's just a sword transformed from a monster!"

As he spoke, the five ghosts that had been driven away by the Spine Sword approached again.

Dou Ying sensed the approach of the Five Ghosts, but he remained calm. He extended his right hand, pointed lightly at the Spine Sword in the air, and whispered, "Transform!"

In an instant, the spine sword that originally existed only one suddenly split into six!

Moreover, the power of these six spine swords was not dispersed because they were combined into six. The aura they emitted was exactly the same as that of the original spine sword.

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the six spine swords.

He was secretly amazed in his heart, this Dou Ying was indeed worthy of being the former Shushan genius, he had actually cultivated the sword-wielding technique to the second level!

The art of wielding a sword is not as simple as simply manipulating a sword. Shushan disciples only practice the art of wielding a sword. If the art of wielding a sword is so simple, then it would not be possible for it to become the signature skill of Shushan.

As far as Li Zhi knows, there are three levels of sword-wielding.

However, not everyone can break through the realm.

In Shushan, most of the disciples are still in the first level, and even some elders are still lingering in the first level.

The first level is the most basic sword manipulation.

This is the most basic, but it doesn’t mean it’s easy.

The power of a sword will increase with the blessing of sword-controlling technique. As the sword-controlling technique is practiced and one's personal cultivation level improves, not only will the power of the sword-controlling technique increase greatly, but the distance of the sword will also increase greatly.

Taking a head with a sword from a thousand miles away is not impossible with the sword-wielding technique.

The first level of sword-wielding is about strengthening and blessing, while the second level is about change.

As for the third level, Li Zhi was not sure.

After all, Li Zhi also saw these records about Shushan sword-riding techniques from the archives of Yeyousi, and they only recorded up to the second level.

When the six spine swords, whose power had not diminished at all, came like a torrential rain, Li Zhi's heart tightened. He immediately realized that he could no longer continue to attack and had to defend with all his strength.

After all, one spine sword might not be a threat to him, but the power of these six spine swords was different. After all, the power of each of these six spine swords was no less than the previous one.

If he was not careful, he would probably be killed by these six spine swords two or three times.

The Qi in Li Zhi's body circulated, and then he stomped his feet heavily.

The Qi transformation realm was instantly unfolded.

As the Qi realm unfolded, the surrounding land began to surge violently, as if countless giant pythons were stirring underground.

In the blink of an eye, countless vines and roots broke out from the ground, like a group of ferocious beasts, pouncing towards the six spine swords with bared fangs and claws.

Dou Ying's eyes lit up when he saw this. He laughed and said, "Haha, I didn't expect you to have so many tricks up your sleeve!"

After saying that, he waved his arm and pointed at Li Zhi from a distance.

The six spine swords, which had been so powerful, suddenly seemed to be injected with new strength and rushed forward. They circled rapidly in the air, intertwining with each other, forming an impenetrable stranglehold that enveloped Li Zhi directly.

Faced with the strangling sword formation formed by these six spine swords, Li Zhi's realm was instantly torn apart by the powerful force.

Seeing that the strangulation net was about to swallow him, Li Zhi's five little ghosts were extremely anxious. They didn't care whether they would get hurt or not, and flew in front of Li Zhi without hesitation.

However, the power of the sword formation formed by the six spine swords is not as simple as one times six.

Li Zhi had long witnessed the power of the Shushan Sword Formation. Furthermore, these six spine swords were originally one body, and now, when they formed the sword formation, their coordination was seamless, without any sense of stagnation. Its power was even more terrifying.

When the Five Ghosts faced the sword formation formed by the six spine swords, they had no power to fight back at all. Their resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and they were vulnerable.

Just as the spine sword was about to tear the five ghosts into pieces, at this critical moment, Li Zhi recalled the five ghosts in time, thus avoiding the fate of being strangled.

However, the current situation is still grim. The sword formation formed by the six spine swords is so powerful that it makes people shudder.

Li Zhi took a deep breath. He knew very well that the sword formation formed by the spine swords was very powerful and it would be difficult for him to win if he confronted it head-on.

If we want to break the deadlock, it still depends on Dou Ying.

Li Zhi's eyes flashed and locked onto Dou Ying, who had a black talisman floating above his head. He knew that as long as he could defeat Dou Ying, the sword formation formed by the six spine swords would naturally collapse.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi stretched out his finger without hesitation and pointed it at Dou Ying!

In an instant, an extremely sharp golden energy gushed out from his fingers like a volcanic eruption, carrying unparalleled power, and shot straight towards Dou Ying like lightning.

Facing Li Zhi's sudden pointing finger, Dou Ying appeared to be extremely calm and his expression did not change.

As soon as he had a thought, the black talisman above his head seemed to be given life and immediately fell like a meteor, trying to block Li Zhi's unstoppable finger.

However, Dou Ying obviously underestimated the power of Li Zhi's finger.

The moment the black talisman came into contact with Li Zhi's sharp golden energy, it was easily pierced through like paper. However, Li Zhi's finger was not affected at all, and its power remained undiminished, continuing to rush towards Dou Ying with the force of thunder.

Seeing this, Dou Ying's expression finally changed slightly, but it was too late.

There was a dull "bang" sound, and Li Zhi's finger landed firmly on Dou Ying's chest.

Dou Ying was struck by lightning, his body shook violently, and then he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string!
