5: Can't Guess
As an existence with an infinite lifespan, Qin Wu thought that he had plenty of time. No matter how difficult it was to cultivate, after a long time of soft and hard rubbing, it would eventually be ground into a needle.
Although it wasn't wrong to think like this…
However, what he thought and what he did were naturally different. Qin Wu wasn't really that patient. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten up every night to cultivate.
During the day, they were in a hurry.
He knew what Dugu Han was thinking. Dugu Han wasn't in a hurry, so he wasn't in a hurry either.
However, after following Dugu Han for more than twenty days, Dugu Han still didn't mention a single word about the actual combat teaching of the sword technique…This made Qin Wu a little impatient.
Qin Wu hadn't even started practicing his swordsmanship yet. In order to wait for Dugu Han to teach him the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, he hadn't even reviewed his own Nine Heavens Sword Extinguisher.
Qin Wu originally thought that the key to swordsmanship was the "realm" after knowing the essentials of the movements and the way of the sword.
And the best way to improve one's realm was through constant combat. Only through constant practice and constant combat could one improve one's sword intent.
That was why Qin Wu hadn't practiced his Nine Heavens Sword Extinguisher from the beginning, because he had already memorized the key points of the Nine Heavens Sword Extinguisher and the epiphany he had comprehended. As long as the Nine Beyond the Swords reached the highest realm, the Nine Heavens Sword Destruction would naturally be completed.
Based on his past experience, Qin Wu knew that the strength and weakness of a sword technique were fundamentally determined by the two points of "life" and "death".
The 'living' and 'dead' here referred to the 'living sword technique' and the 'dead sword technique'.
Most of the sword techniques in the world were dead sword techniques. Even the sword techniques exclusive to the Sword Saints were just dead sword techniques that were suitable for themselves. Since it was a Death Sword Technique, then no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to reach the highest realm of a warrior's sword intent, which was the realm of Sword Demon that Dugu Han had reached.
The biggest difference between a living sword technique and a dead sword technique was that it could deal with all kinds of changes without changing. Even if it was only a simple move, it could break through hundreds of millions of different moves.
As a result, there were very few living sword techniques, and to what extent…
An experienced old Taoist like Qin Wu had only seen four kinds of live sword techniques: Flying Sword Control, Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, Dugu Han's sword technique, and Qin Wu's Nine Heavens Sword Destruction.
Although there were two Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, Dugu Han's Nine Swords Beyond the Swords was different from the other Nine Swords Beyond the Swords that Qin Wu had mentioned.
The other Nine Swords Beyond the Swords mentioned by Qin Wu was naturally the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords of Dugu Qiubai in martial arts novels.
Flying Sword Manipulation, Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, Nine Heavens Sword Destruction…
He believed that anyone could tell that there was something wrong.
Indeed, three of the four living sword techniques that Qin Wu knew of were inseparable from the word "nine". In other words, there were only nine styles for three of them.
Even if he did not see where the suspicion was, Qin Wu believed that there was a reason for the nine movements of the Living Sword Art, and it was not groundless.
In terms of understanding of sword intent, Qin Wu was no match for Dugu Han. Qin Wu's powerful swordsmanship was based on his strength in other aspects.
With this doubt in mind, Qin Wu asked Dugu Han.
"Sister Han, you said that your original sword technique is the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, right?”。
Han answered as he walked,"That's right. Didn't you already know that?"
" Hmm…I have a question…" Qin Wu opened his eyes wide and pretended to be cute."Why is it 'Nine Swords' and not 'Eight Swords' or 'Hundred Swords? Or could it be that the more moves there were, the stronger it was?”。
If it was an ordinary child who asked this question, Dugu Han would at most think that the child was too curious. But if it was Qin Wu, it would be different.
After spending more than 20 days together, Dugu Han had a general understanding of Qin Wu's wisdom and maturity. Since he asked, he must have discovered something.
Dugu Han didn't make things difficult for Qin Wu. He shook his head and replied,""No, how can sword techniques become stronger with more? Some people had once thought so too. For example, the first Sword Saint in history, Ran Ran, had created 3,200 unique sword techniques, Eight Desolations Annihilation. "However, even until his death, he still remained at the Sword Saint realm.
"... 3,200 moves..." Compared to the sword technique itself, Qin Wu admired Ran Ran more. Just being able to remember so many sword techniques was already very impressive. He might not be able to use so many moves in his life.
Dugu Han nodded and said,""But so what? Even if he was the ancestor of the Sword Saints, he was still a Sword Saint."It's not an exaggeration to say that if I were to fight him, I would be able to kill him in the third round.
It seemed like Dugu Han was boasting, but Qin Wu believed him. The difference between a Sword Saint and a Sword Demon was the same as the difference between a human and a god.
For example, in the eyes of a Saint, an ant could be wiped out with a snap of his finger, and a person could be wiped out with a snap of his finger.
"Tsk, the old woman is bragging again!”……
Qin Wu believed Dugu Han's words because he had actual combat experience, but it didn't mean that the Six Heavenly Flames believed Dugu Han's words. In fact, even if the Six Heavenly Flames believed it, they would definitely say a few words.
Dugu Han glanced at the Six Heavenly Flames and said,"" If you don't believe me, you can experience it for yourself. Or you can find any Sword Saint to kill me, provided that they're willing to help."
Six Paths of Heavenly Flames curled his lips. You're a woman who bullies the young!"
" If I really bullied you, I would have dismembered you long ago," Dugu Han said indifferently and added,""Would he let you and little Qin Wu practice those evil things in the middle of the night?”。
“!”Six Paths of Heavenly Flames was shocked." What…what did you say?”。
At the same time, the six heavenly flames looked at Qin Wu reflexively, wondering if it was possible that Qin Wu had said it.
Dugu Han smiled and said,"Stop pretending. You can't hide your sneaky actions from me even if you don't tell me."
Qin Wu found it strange that Dugu Han had decided to lay his cards on the table with the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames at this time. He hadn't informed Qin Wu beforehand.
Dugu Han stopped smiling and said without a care,""Didn't you two want to kill me? "Then train yourself well, but don't worry, it's impossible in this lifetime."
" Just you wait, I'll kill you sooner or later." Six Paths of Heavenly Flames 'childishness seeped out again, and he was still unconvinced.
Qin Wu finally understood. Dugu Han was creating conditions for them. He probably felt that practicing secretly in the middle of the night would affect their cultivation.
Since he understood, it was time for Qin Wu to perform.
Qin Wu pulled back Six Paths of Heavenly Flames, who was trying to show off his eloquence to Dugu Han, and shook his head at him. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and said to Dugu Han,"Sister Han, I hope you won't regret not killing us now."
"Regret? "You have to be able to touch even a finger of mine," Dugu Han said sarcastically. He felt that Qin Wu was indeed a very sensible child.
" I also hope that you won't regret it…" Qin Wu smiled and signaled for the Six Heavenly Flames to stop talking.
Dugu Han pointed at the saber at his waist and said,""Didn't little Qin Wu ask why my Nine Swords Beyond the Swords has nine forms? To be honest, I don't know either. Someone once said that the number 'nine' represents the reincarnation of the sword. I don't really care about that kind of thing because I'm only pursuing my own realm."
Don't care?
Qin Wu was dazed for a moment, but then he felt relieved." Regardless of whether Dugu Han was telling the truth or not, he had been enlightened. So what if he knew? What he needed to care about was what realm he could reach. Some things could only be understood but not explained.
"Then when will you officially teach me swordsmanship?”Qin Wu asked. Now that he had thought it through, his pursuit of strength became even more urgent.
"Finally, you can't hold it in anymore?”Dugu Han's face revealed the hypocritical smile that Qin Wu found to be.
Swoosh!
Dugu Han suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist. He was so frightened that the Six Heavenly Flames thought that they were going to deal with him. He quickly hid behind Qin Wu.
"How can such a coward kill me?”Dugu Han couldn't help but laugh at the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames.
Then, a sword light flashed in front of Dugu Han, and the saber disappeared for a moment. When he saw the saber again, it was already in Dugu Han's scabbard.
At the same time, an endless crack appeared on the ground in front of Dugu Han.
Pointing at the crack, Dugu Han said,""In less than three days, when we reach the end of this crack, we will be able to reach the end of the crack. We will reach our destination, and I will officially teach you swordsmanship."
Qin Wu frowned slightly and looked at the crack." What was the purpose of making this gap?
It was difficult to guess what Dugu Han had done. There were many things that he couldn't figure out.
It was just like how they had been hurrying over the past few days.
With Dugu Han's strength, even if he was carrying two children, he would be able to move at high speed like the Instant God. Why was he only walking slowly in a hurry?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the evening two days later. They entered a large town in the Country of Fire.
Qin Wu looked at the magnificent mansion in front of him with confusion.
Dugu Han coldly said,"We're here. My house."
So Qin Wu couldn't help but sigh,[So Dugu Han is as extravagant as he used to be.]
He had thought that Dugu Han was a wandering swordsman or a reclusive expert who lived alone in the deep mountains and forests. He didn't expect that he lived in a town in the Country of Fire.
Could it be that there was something hidden in this room? Or was there a huge Water Moon Paradise underground?
Qin Wu thought.
The truth made him misjudge again.
Qin Wu followed Dugu Han through the gate and arrived at the spacious courtyard. Qin Wu realized that there were people in the courtyard.
A few luxuriously dressed women, who were dressed in fine silk, snow tassels, and purple gold phoenix crowns, came forward and bowed to Dugu Han." Hall Master, you're back."
Dugu Han nodded coldly in response.
This action made Qin Wu deeply puzzled. These people were actually maids? Could Dugu Han be a public figure? That wasn't right. Dugu Han had clearly said that the world didn't know that she was still alive, so there was no reason to lie to him.
From the looks of it, there was only one possibility---Dugu Han had used another identity to appear in the eyes of the world.
Six Paths of Heavenly Flames was also confused. He pulled on Qin Wu's clothes and asked him what was going on. Qin Wu could only shake his head.
Seeing Qin Wu and Six Paths of Heavenly Flames 'puzzled expressions, Dugu Han explained,"" I'm the Fire Country's High Priest and Chief of the Imperial Guards.
"Eh?" This caused the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames to be extremely surprised.
Qin Wu, who had already thought of the possibility of Dugu Han having other identities, appeared much calmer and nodded obediently.
After a pause, Dugu Han added,""The world doesn't know that I'm a Sword Demon, not even a Sword Saint. Don't tell anyone, or we'll all be in trouble."
Qin Wu nodded again. The Six Paths of Heavenly Flames was very smart and quickly understood.
This was true. Few people in this world knew what a Sword Demon was, but there were always a few Sword Saints who knew. Once those Sword Saints knew who the Sword Demon was, they wouldn't know their place and wouldn't dare to provoke him. They would probably join forces and try to get rid of Dugu Han.
It just so happened that Dugu Han had destroyed the Country of Feathers a few days ago. If the Sword Saints spread the news, everyone would be in danger, and many people would want to get rid of Dugu Han.
Even though Dugu Han's strength was not enough to kill him, the troubles caused by so many troubles would definitely affect them. Qin Wu and the Six Paths of Heavenly Flames didn't have enough power to protect themselves.
Dugu Han pulled Qin Wu and Six Paths of Heavenly Flames into his empty room.
"Do you know why I brought you back here?”Dugu Han looked at the two children in front of him. To be honest, she still liked Qin Wu. After all, he was her chosen successor.
However, after her investigation over the past few nights, she found that it was just as Qin Wu had said. The little brat, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames, was indeed very good. Although his talent in sword arts was not top-notch, he showed great talent in following Qin Wu's evil cultivation. It would save him a lot of trouble to practice with Qin Wu.
" I don't know.
" I don't know…"
Qin Wu and the Six Heavenly Flames said in unison.
Of course, they didn't know. If they knew, Qin Wu wouldn't have interacted with so many possibilities. Qin Wu, who had a psychological age of hundreds of years, naturally wouldn't have thought of the Six Heavenly Flames.
" Cultivation…" Dugu Han picked up a stack of paper from the table and casually flipped through it. He would occasionally look up at Qin Wu and the Six Heavenly Flames.
" Of course, there's also…doing missions."
