Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

"A gift to you!"

With these words, on Chen Ku’s body, as the blood qi flowed, there was actually a buzzing sound of sword qi, as if the blood flowing within him had turned into a sword flow, and an unprecedented huge arched bridge was formed by his hands.

On the arched bridge, there was also a swordsman like a corpse, who instantly shattered the sword in his hand, turning into a sky full of resentment. Within each droplet of water, there seemed to be an ordinary yet painfully twisted face, like the faces of all beings!

In an instant, the water in the great river began to flow backward, like a waterfall rising to the sky. Upon closer inspection, these waterfalls were also filled with sword qi.

In the blink of an eye.

The ascending sword rain formed by the twenty-four corpse swordsmen and the ’unknown’ sword move evolved by Chen Ku’s battle technique clashed fiercely in the sky like two rows of starlight brocade.

Clang! Clang! Clang! ...

In an instant, the sound of countless clashes of sword qi resounded like ten thousand thunders exploding at once, stirring up terrifying qi mechanisms that rushed out in all directions!

"Battle Technique!"

Tang Qujiang saw Chen Ku, in the face of his renowned sword move, unexpectedly used the battle technique of the Fighting God Palace in an instant, not only simulating the divine intent within this move but also evolving his own mental realm.

If his Twenty-four Bridge Bright Moon Corpses was a move formed by reminiscing about the ancients and cherishing ancient poets, which could evolve the mental realms of some great ancient poets into temporary combat strength.

Then the move evolved by Chen Ku through the battle technique was completely like using all ordinary people from ancient history to battle him, with each droplet of water depicting various heart-wrenching life stories with ordinary faces.

Who is not born with suffering?

When the two swords confronted each other, neither mental realm was weaker, and the sword qi was equally matched.

"Initially, I heard that Hua Yuexian wanted to make you his disciple because you accidentally comprehended the battle technique of the Fighting God Palace, which seemed a bit exaggerated. But now it seems, this is not an exaggeration at all. You, Chen Ku, are indeed a youth with unprecedentedly monstrous talent, and this battle technique has already been cultivated to great achievement by you."

Holding a sword in hand, Tang Qujiang, after a single strike, no longer had any arrogance and completely viewed Chen Ku as a formidable opponent because Chen Ku hadn’t even used his own methods yet. He merely used the battle technique, returning the favor, and nullified his move.

"Brother Tang, you’re too kind. Do you have any other methods for Chen to see?"

Chen Ku dropped his hands and asked with a smile:

"Otherwise, Chen will have to make the first move."

"Since you’ve already mastered the battle technique, then nine out of ten of my learned and comprehended sword moves and Sword Dao are completely useless against you. Instead of letting you see through and evolve to counter me, it would be better to..."

Tang Qujiang spoke coldly:

"Decide the victory with one sword! This move is my life sword technique evolved from my cultivation body, and unless you also have the Flowing Cup Sword Body, you cannot evolve it, so show your real capabilities!"

As his words fell.

The long sword in his hand was thrust towards Chen Ku, thousands of feet away.

One sword was unleashed!

The sword light covered the sky and earth.

It transformed into a three-thousand-foot white silk, entwining and slaughtering like a brocade-white dragon.

Chen Ku, relying solely on instinct, felt the incomparable fear of this sword technique, seemingly targeting something at the level of life itself.

He immediately punched towards that three-thousand-foot white silk.

This punch, revolving the Yin Yang Wheel within, unleashed the power of four hundred galloping dragons, instantly shattering the air within a thousand-foot radius with a punch!

In the next instant!

Fist light collided with the white silk!

Woo~

Strangely, the all-encompassing fist imbued with life blood qi, when it landed on the white silk, not only did not shatter the three thousand feet of white silk, but it was instead wrapped up by the white silk like a bandage, engulfing the fist mark.

In a flash.

Everyone saw the once grand and vigorous fist mark of Chen Ku’s blood qi instantly decay into a shriveled fist.

Crack!

Finally, wrapped in the white silk, it burst apart, dissipating into gray death energy.

"This move is quite something!" Chen Ku’s expression showed slight astonishment.

Tang Qujiang, seeing Chen Ku’s expression, turned his long sword, once again thrusting towards Chen Ku, the white silk transformed from the sword light continued to attack Chen Ku.

"This sword was created from my contemplation of the ancient Ming Emperor’s suicide on the seventh day of July in the Longevity Hall, where the three thousand white silk transformed from the sword light is a life-stealing weapon. Once touched, for each breath wrapped, all things in the world would lose one month of lifespan until the white silk wraps tighter and tighter, strangling to death. I named it...

The Longevity Tribulation of the Seventh Day of July!"

As the words fell, the white silk from his sword had already reached in front of Chen Ku.

Chen Ku, feeling good will towards the opponent for such an open explanation of his Sword Dao didn’t want to touch the white silk head-on either.

Whether he could break it was another matter.

The main thing was that he didn’t want to waste even a day of his lifespan!

With one step, the Drought God Air Domain was already deployed, instantly teleporting hundreds of feet away.

However.

When Tang Qujiang shook his sword again, the three thousand-foot white silk suddenly scattered like blossoming flowers, unraveling and weaving layers, wrapping the thousand-foot radius of sky and earth.

It was like weaving an unprecedented white embroidered sphere by the river.

Though this embroidered sphere was a thousand feet large.

It trapped Chen Ku within.

Tang Qujiang smiled slightly: "Brother Chen, where are you going? It looks like victory or defeat will soon be decided."

He truly respected Chen Ku’s talent after the previous battle.

But his absolute confidence in his sword technique made him already have a mindset that the outcome was decided.

"Brother Tang, you’re celebrating too early."

Suddenly, from within that thousand-foot white embroidered sphere, Chen Ku’s voice came:

"I’m just contemplating which method to use on my body to break your move. Your sword is indeed exquisite, but its foundation mainly lies in the dissatisfaction and resentment of the ancient deceased behind the sword. I initially thought of using my dissolve move to counter it, but that’s too troublesome, so still... "

Within the massive space of the white embroidered sphere, as the giant white silk sphere rapidly contracted, Chen Ku’s expression remained calm. He extended his fingers upwards, reaching with ten fingers pointing forward.

"Defeating you with the Forbidden Technique of the Destruction Tower, which I am about to apprentice!"

Under one finger, threads of smoke coiled out from the fingertips, swirling and expanding outwards, instantly covering everything before it with a sprawling momentum.

In the next moment!

It came into contact with those white silk.

Whaa~~

The terrifying life-stealing white silk seemed to break apart like a puff of dandelion blown by the wind, instantly the thousand-foot embroidered sphere turned into a downpour of heavy rain.

"What?" Tang Qujiang’s pupils shrunk intensely.

But he saw that among the torrential rain, Chen Ku’s figure had already stepped above his head, chuckling lightly:

"It’s my turn to make a move, Brother Tang."

As the words fell.

Five fingers reached down, the slender, fair arm descending like a pillar of white jade pressing down, the five fingers like five mountains from the heavens, pressing directly onto Tang Qujiang on the boat.

This was indeed Chen Ku’s self-created Scattered Palm technique.

Heavenly Control Hand!

Five fingers like five collapsing heavenly pillars, the palm as if the heavenly dome was pushing down.

Along with Chen Ku’s current force of six hundred dragons’ might.

This palm had not yet landed on Tang Qujiang’s body, but the infinite force streaming down from the palm and fingers had already instantly crushed the small boat beneath Tang Qujiang!

Simultaneously, the entire river below "boomed" and collapsed, the river water instantly evaporating.

It left Tang Qujiang staring up in shock as the overwhelming hand was pressing down, himself seemingly uncontrollably heading to collide with the palm.

In a mere instant.

Tang Qujiang knew he had been defeated.

A battle of geniuses.

As a loser, he had no regrets being killed.

However.

At that moment.

A most terrifying airflow burst from the sky, like a meteor arriving instantaneously from dozens of miles away, aiming at the back of Chen Ku’s head.

It was a terrifying arrow.

An arrow capable of shooting and killing a First Realm Martial Practitioner was unleashed from the shadows, even gleaming with dreadful forbidden runes.

"Chen Ku, watch out for the hidden arrow!"

Tang Qujiang, being in front, was the first to see the arrow aiming at the back of Chen Ku’s head and instinctively cried out:

"Quick, dodge!"
