Chapter 216 Dao Heart
Danger!
It was clear that he had the upper hand and was even close to hitting Wu Chi's vital point. But when Wu Chi raised his head and smiled, Tang Liqing still had a dangerous intuition in his heart.
At this point, it was naturally impossible for Tang Liqing to back down. He gritted his teeth suddenly and drew his sword three points faster, aiming straight for Wu Chi's throat.
"Ding!"
The swords clashed, and Tang Li's sword, which was destined to win, stabbed Wu Chi's sword accurately.
After missing the attack, Tang Liqing didn't even blink. He completed the change of attack in an instant and slashed Wu Chi's right arm with his backhand.
But at this moment, Tang Liqing's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly, because before he even made a move with the sword, Wu Chi had already raised his hand to protect his right arm.
His heart suddenly sank, and Tang Liqing suddenly changed his tactics again!
However, the following time was simply a nightmare for Tang Liqing!
No matter how violently he attacked, Wu Chi could judge his intentions in advance, and his early reaction was as if a pair of eyes had completely penetrated his mind.
Once or twice may have been just a coincidence, but when countless attacks were all under Wu Chi's judgment, it was far from a coincidence that could be explained by the word coincidence.
quick?
What Tang Bieli was most proud of in his life was this quick word. Even his opponents who were stronger than him would often die because of this quick word.
But now, Wu Chi's counterattack undoubtedly dealt him a heavy blow.
No matter how fast his sword is or how fast he changes his moves, Wu Chi's judgment and reaction are always one step ahead of him, like a ghost!
Ever since he entered the path of cultivation, Tang Liqing had never been so frightened. It was as if he was caught in a big airtight net, tightening it tighter and tighter, suffocating him in despair.
This is not a problem of strength gap, but a crack in the sword's heart!
For the first time, Tang Liqing began to doubt whether his swordsmanship was wrong.
Although he was in Tianshan, Tang Liqing's talent was never the best. He was not as good as Ye Kai at the beginning, and now he is not as good as Yuan Zhou! The only thing that makes him proud is the quick sword that he realized on his own!
It's not that he has never been defeated, but he has never been defeated so hopelessly.
It seems that no matter how fast your sword is, the opponent will judge your intentions first and make the most powerful counterattack!
When Wu Chi started to fight back, he was already defeated!
The sword point was pressed against Tang Liqing's heart. Tang Liqing's face instantly turned pale, and he was so stunned that he couldn't even speak a single word.
He didn't even know what happened. In such a blink of an eye, such an earth-shaking change had occurred, turning him from an advantage to a complete defeat.
Tang Liqing didn't understand, and others even less understood.
They only saw that Wu Chi seemed to be a little distracted, but in a moment, a bright smile appeared on Wu Chi's face.
From that moment on, Wu Chi seemed to be a different person, easily repelling Tang Liqing's terrifying offensive! And when he started to fight back, Tang Liqing couldn't even block his sword.
The most terrifying thing is that from the beginning to the end, Wu Chi controlled his power perfectly, without any trace of using his strength to win, and defeated Tang Liqing neatly!
No, just like in an instant, Wu Chi suddenly knew Tang Liqing's sword very well!
"Chengying Sword Intent, no, that's not right...that's...predicting the enemy's opportunity!"
Suddenly standing up, the head of Tianshan changed his expression. He looked at Wu Chi in disbelief, and his heart was already filled with turmoil.
He knew about the Chengying Divine Sword. When Zhou Yuanting wielded the Chengying Divine Sword, he had also seen the Chengying Sword Technique. Although it was terrifying, it definitely did not reach such an incredible level.
Others may not be able to see what happened just now, but as a master of swordsmanship and the master of Tianshan who became a Taoist master with a sword, it is impossible not to understand what all that just means!
But, how is this possible?
Anticipate the enemy's opportunity, how could there be such incredible swordsmanship in the world?
"I lost!"
Muttering to himself, Tang Liqing's face was full of despair, as if he had lost all his energy in an instant, "Wrong, it's all wrong! What's the use of being fast? What's the use of being fast? It's wrong!"
"Tang Liqing!"
Looking at Tang Liqing, Wu Chi suddenly shouted loudly.
Hearing Wu Chi's voice, Tang Liqing smiled miserably, "You won, why, do you still want to insult me? Haha, yes, I lost! You can insult me any way you want, no matter how fast the sword is, all It’s wrong, it turns out...it’s all wrong!”
Tang Liqing was from Tianshan. Wu Chi originally thought that he already hated him, but at this moment, Wu Chi's heart felt inexplicably soft. He couldn't feel any hatred at all, but instead had an indescribable feeling.
After a moment of silence, Wu Chi shook his head slightly, "Tang Liqing, I don't want to humiliate you, but I want to thank you!"
"Thank me? Thank me for what? Thank me for letting you slap me so loudly? Thank me for making Tianshan lose face?" Tang Liqing asked in a somewhat crazy tone.
Seeing the crazy Tang Liqing, Wu Chi suddenly understood, and he naturally understood where the other party's heart was.
Kenshin, with this defeat just now, I almost destroyed his Kenshin and faith!
As soon as the thought flashed through, Wu Chi suddenly showed a look of contempt in his eyes, and said coldly, "It seems that I was wrong! I originally thought that there was still a swordsman genius on the Tianshan Mountains, and I had an epiphany. I should have thanked you! But I didn't expect that. , turned out to be a loser who doesn’t even believe in his own swordsmanship.”
Although Wu Chi scolded Wu Chi harshly with these words, they suddenly touched the key point in Tang Liqing's heart.
"What did you say?" Tang Liqing's eyes showed a glint of light again.
"In the world of sword moves, only fast ones can't be defeated! There's nothing wrong with being fast. You lose just because you're not fast enough!"
Wu Chi stared into Tang Liqing's eyes and spoke word by word.
"Because I'm not fast enough?" Tang Liqing was a little distracted and repeated subconsciously.
"Not bad!" Wu Chi said calmly, "Before today, I have never seen such a fast sword. Therefore, you were able to force me before and I was almost unable to fight back!"
"But you still broke my quick sword after all!" Tang Li said in confusion.
"That's because, no matter what time, I have never given up on my faith! I have never doubted my swordsmanship!" Wu Chi almost blurted out, "I was impressed by your sharp sword, so I suddenly realized it, and then I understood it. The path of swordsmanship I want to walk!"
"So I said, I don't want to humiliate you, but I want to thank you!"
"But, you now... don't deserve this word of thanks!"
"If you don't even believe in your own swordsmanship, what qualifications do you have to hold a sword? What qualifications do you have to let me say thank you?!"
Every word Wu Chi said hit Tang Liqing's heart hard, causing blood to pierce and the pain to wake him up!
"Yes, I shouldn't doubt my swordsmanship... I lost, not because my swordsmanship was wrong, but because... my sword was not fast enough!" The blood returned to Tang Liqing's face with these words. , finally made him wake up from the blow just now.
Yes, so what if you have insight into opportunities everywhere?
If the sword is fast enough, what if the opponent guesses the intention in advance? It can also prevent him from even having a chance to react!
The sword...isn't fast enough!
With a slight sigh in his heart, Wu Chi shook his head and looked away from Tang Liqing.
Being able to achieve this step is the best he can do. What happens in the future can only depend on Tang Liqing himself.
To be fair, although Tang Liqing was already very good and his talent in swordsmanship was equally astonishing, at this moment, Wu Chi knew very well that compared to Mo Yan, Tang Liqing was far behind.
Mo Yan had also been defeated by his own sword back then, and he even said that his method of wielding a sword with the law was completely useless! But, has Mo Yan given up?
Without anyone's guidance, Mo Yan came to his senses and pursued his own path without any hesitation!
Moreover, in the past ten years in the Sutra Pavilion, Mo Yan has proved with facts that the way of controlling swords with Dharma is not wrong!
Although Mo Yan has not yet truly perfected this method, Wu Chi has a hunch that when Mo Yan completely creates the method of controlling swords with Dharma, it will be the time when he breaks through and enters the Tao realm!
This is the real monster!
This gap does not lie in talent, but in... Taoist heart!
Questioning heart!
"Anyone without amazing talent, without great wisdom and perseverance, and without a heart for inquiry will have no chance of entering my door!"
In this passage left by the former Emperor Donghua, Wu Chi actually still did not really understand the so-called heart of questioning, even under the Dao Tribulation. It was only now, after seeing Tang Liqing's reaction, that Wu Chi finally realized that after reaching a certain level of cultivation, whether one's Taoist heart is firm or not may be the key to determining future achievements.
Just like myself, when I was overwhelmed by the fast sword, what I thought of was not to shrink back or question my swordsmanship!
Wu Chi didn't understand what this meant before, but at this moment, he vaguely realized that this is the so-called Taoist heart!
In the flash of lightning, the figure of the Immortal Soul Ancestor suddenly flashed across Wu Chi's mind again!
My heart suddenly sank!
At this moment, Wu Chi finally vaguely understood the reason why Emperor Donghua still refused to attack the Immortal Soul Ancestor.
Not only because that was his old friend, but more importantly... the Immortal Soul Ancestor might not be wrong!
Everything he did was simply because he had an extremely firm Taoist heart and always firmly believed that the Tao he chose was the right one!
Even if he is not tolerated by the world, even if he is sealed by Emperor Donghua for three thousand years!
But he still did not waver at all, insisting on proving the truth through the way of the soul...
Maybe he is crazy, maybe he is not tolerated by the world, but... is it really wrong for him to insist on his Taoism?
Good and evil, right and wrong...are they really clearly distinguishable?
At this moment, Wu Chi finally vaguely understood that Emperor Donghua had sealed the Immortal Soul Ancestor in the Immortal Mansion for three thousand years. Even after he ascended, he could not make a choice. Instead, he left the responsibility of settling this cause and effect to his disciples. Feeling.
This was a question that even Emperor Donghua had a hard time deciding, yet he threw it to his disciple irresponsibly without even explaining the reason!
Do you think you can think clearly?
This master...is really unreliable!
