A Sword Is Better Than No Sword
A small piece of his sleeve that had fallen to the ground lay quietly.
Dugu Han was unmoved by the fact that she was at a disadvantage. Or rather…she didn't think that she was at a disadvantage!
" Very good." Dugu Han calmly stood on the spot and stared at the unknown swordsman. He slowly said," As a human, you're the third person since I was seventeen to be able to withstand my Nine Swords Beyond the Swords…" Needless to say, the remaining two were Qin Wu and Feng Sanniang, and the illusory realm, which was a knife that cut through all obstacles, was naturally not included.
"Is that so?" The unknown swordsman was calm and at ease when he saw Dugu Han's indifference." In that case, I have to say that you are the third person who can exchange a move with me without bleeding. The first is my master, and the second is a woman like you. Unfortunately, these two have already died in my hands."
" That's really a coincidence," Dugu Han replied coldly." Then what are the names of your master and this woman?”She had already guessed who the so-called woman was.
The unknown swordsman sighed," I should have let the dead rest in peace and not mention the deeds of their lives. However, since we're both top swordsmen, I won't hide anything. My master is Oda Aoki, and that woman just passed away yesterday. As far as I know, her name is Feng Sanniang."
It really is Manager Feng…And that Oda Aoki is actually this person's master? Is he already dead?
The image of an old man who had fought with her in the Country of Fire's Daming Mansion appeared in Dugu Han's mind. He nodded and continued to look at the unknown swordsman."In that case, I won't talk to you anymore. "When you fall into the Yellow Springs, you must remember that there are some people in this world that you can't touch, such as…Feng Sanniang.
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible sword qi descended from the sky like a thunderbolt. He first saw a shadow-like color, and after about half a second, he heard a loud bang.
After the loud noise, there was no one left at the place where the unknown swordsman had been standing. There was no smoke or dust, only a deep pit that was not wide.
Qin Wu, who had been watching the battle from the side, knew that although the deep pit was not wide, it had already been struck into the ground by Dugu Han's sword Qi.
What was underground? It was from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
Qin Wu, who had been taught by Dugu Han, also knew that this was the sixth move of the Nine Beyond the Swords, the " Full Light Sword."
However, could this move really deal with the unknown swordsman? Obviously not. This could be seen from Dugu Han's unrelaxed brows.
"Pa, pa, pa…"
Applause rang out on the other side of the deep pit, and the figure of the unknown swordsman appeared there."To actually be able to make the sword qi reach light speed without stirring space…this is something that even I would find difficult to do. I have to say, your strength is the strongest I have ever seen. Your swordsmanship has indeed reached the highest level…"
" You talk too much nonsense," Dugu Han interrupted." It's not that I can't stand nonsense, but it depends on what nonsense it is. "I don't think anyone else can evaluate my swordsmanship because they're all too far away from my realm, including you. Therefore, it's best if you shut up early."
Even though Dugu Han was not polite at all, the unknown swordsman was not angry at all. He looked helpless as he said,""Is it because you're standing too high that you're so arrogant?”。
" This isn't arrogance; it's just the truth," Dugu Han said." Deliberately denying one's own strength doesn't represent humility. It only shows that such actions are unnecessary."
Although the unknown swordsman had dodged Dugu Han's sword Qi and was not injured, his appearance was no longer spotless. The left half of his sleeve and trousers had been burned to ashes by the sword Qi.
"Nameless Eight Styles. The sixth stance…Death and Life.
The first two times, Dugu Han had taken the initiative to attack. This time, the unknown swordsman finally attacked Dugu Han first.
The moment the unknown swordsman spoke, Dugu Han frowned, which was a rare sight. At this moment, a pure white sword Qi streaked across. It was obvious that this was also an attack that triggered sword Qi.
Dugu Han's speed was very fast. As a swordsman, although Dugu Han was best at attacking power, in terms of attack speed and movement speed, other than Qin Wu who could move according to the law, no one in the world had ever been on par with her.
But now that it had appeared, it was the unknown swordsman.
" Tick, tick…"
Dugu Han hadn't been able to completely dodge the attack just now. When the sword qi touched her, a wound was torn on her waist, and blood was oozing out.
Qin Wu, who was watching from the side, had an ominous glint in his eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that disturbing Dugu Han would cause her to lose face, he would have already made his move.
" It hurts…" Dugu Han's words were cold.
The so-called powerful people were not afraid of pain. In fact, the stronger the person, the less likely they were to be injured, and the less likely they were to be in contact with pain. Naturally, the pain he felt when he was suddenly injured was more than that of ordinary people.
In a few minutes, there was no intense battle, nor was there any ordinary slashing. Just two sword techniques were enough to confirm the strength of each other.
Experts didn't have verbal conversations when exchanging blows? That was not right. When experts exchanged blows, only the most ordinary attacks would appear? Obviously, that was not right.
A true expert wouldn't use normal attacks when facing an enemy. They would only use Skills. No matter how strong a person was, they wouldn't be able to use all their attacks at the same level. There were bound to be strong and weak attacks.
" You're very powerful. You can hurt me." Dugu Han's tone was no different from before, but the surrounding air seemed to have become colder.
"You're the one who surprised me. I didn't expect you to be able to dodge my attack." The unknown swordsman revealed a surprised expression, but he quickly calmed down and said,"I'm not sure."" Originally, I only planned to cripple your swordsmanship, but now it seems like I have to kill you. That way, I can prove that I've reached a higher level."
Seeing that Dugu Han was silent, the unknown swordsman continued,""Whether it's my master Oda Aoki or Feng Sanniang, who you came here to seek revenge for, neither of them suffered too much damage from this move, but you clearly suffered the least. However, when I used the last move of the Nameless Eight Moves, they all died, and you were no exception…"
"Nameless Eight Styles. The eighth stance…Surrender Sword.
As soon as the word " sword " left his mouth, the unknown swordsman and Dugu Han disappeared in front of Qin Wu.
Qin Wu only smiled. He wasn't worried. Even though Dugu Han was injured, he wasn't worried even though he was angry. Even if this unknown swordsman had reached the inhuman realm.
Just as he thought, Dugu Han was not born for the sword, but the sword was born for Dugu Han.
Dugu Han had no reason to lose as he was the strongest swordsman in the entire warrior era.
……………………
After sizing up the pitch-black surroundings, Dugu Han looked around with certainty at the unknown swordsman who he thought was the only living being and said,""Domain."
" That's right, it's a domain." The unknown swordsman wasn't surprised that Dugu Han had seen through the truth of his move at a glance. Those who had reached this realm would naturally know what a domain was." It's a domain that transcends time and space." In this field, you can't win."
"You know what? " My master has been teaching me Kendo since I could remember, and my understanding of the sword has far surpassed others since I was young. So, when I was eighteen, I surpassed my master, Oda Aokami," the unknown swordsman told Dugu Han." Master never gave me a name, and I don't need it either, because my life is only about the sword. There is nothing else, including human emotions, human emotions. However, even so, I still had a bottleneck, a bottleneck that was difficult to break through. I often thought that when my Sword Dao reached the integration of offense and defense, with perfect speed and perfect accuracy, what else was missing? This bottleneck troubled me from the age of 14 to 18 for four whole years…
"But finally, when I was eighteen, I thought it through. What really restrained me was not my heart, but the sword in my hand. Since I've already trained all my 'Dao' to the extreme, why do I still need a sword? It was also at that moment that I broke through my original bottleneck and perfected my eight moves…As you can see, I don't use the sword because it's useless to me anymore."In this domain, your Sword Dao will be useless.
" A fool will always be a fool," Dugu Han said indifferently as he lowered his head." You were destined to lose from the start of this battle because you abandoned your sword, and a sword…is something that a swordsman can never abandon."
A sword without a sword is better than a sword…Before Dugu Han stepped into the realm of Sword Demon, he had thought that the highest realm of the sword was like this. However, he later discovered that this was just a wrong path.
The reason why a swordsman was a swordsman was that the sword and the swordsman themselves could not be separated. If a swordsman abandoned the sword, it was equivalent to denying everything he had ever been, everything about his sword path.
It was not the sword that bound him, but sometimes, he bound the sword. Sword Dao was only called Sword Dao when one held a sword.
Feeling the pressure and sword Qi around him, Dugu Han mocked,""Giving up the sword and using sword qi…isn't that self-contradictory? Let me teach you on behalf of all swordsmen why swordsmen are called swordsmen."
" Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, the eighth sword…Thousand Years Beyond the Swords."
……………………
There was no concept of time in the domain. No matter what happened in the domain, it would only take a few seconds in reality.
Qin Wu maintained his smile as he looked at Dugu Han and the unknown swordsman who appeared in front of him again.
Oh, to be precise, it was the corpses of Dugu Han and the unknown swordsman.
The unknown swordsman was lifeless. No matter how strong he was when he was alive, he was just a body that took up space after death.
" Sister Han's battle seems to be progressing very slowly this time." Qin Wu slowly walked to Dugu Han's side, not even looking at the dead unknown swordsman.
Dugu Han replied,"The opponent this time is also a Sword Demon. He just went astray; otherwise, he would have been even more difficult to deal with."
Nodding, Qin Wu raised his finger.""Eighty-five of the Binding Dao. Holy Healing.
Dazzling white light descended from the sky and sprinkled on Dugu Han's body…In an instant, there was no blood on Dugu Han's body. How could it be seen that he had been injured not long ago?
" I'll leave the rest to you. I'm not good at anything other than swordsmanship," Dugu Han said to Qin Wu.
" No problem." Qin Wu smiled and nodded." But before that, I have something more important to do."
Ignoring Dugu Han's puzzled gaze, Qin Wu walked to Manager Feng's grave and smiled at Dugu Han."" As long as Manager Feng's soul isn't destroyed, I can bring her back to life…"
" Rebirth…" Although he knew that Qin Wu had many strange and powerful abilities, Dugu Han was still surprised when he heard the word " rebirth."
" Yes, rebirth…and it's a rebirth that doesn't require any price…"

Some people want to live in happiness, while others desire to live with luck. This is the difference. The gap between people, the gap between lives, the gap between fates…
