Four Retributions of the Nine Lesser Heavens?

"The Twenty-Three Swords…"

Jiang He brought out his pen and paper, but paused halfway through his writing.

Having read the comic, tv series, and movies of the Storm Riders franchise, he knew very well how powerful the Twenty-Three Swords technique was—it was without question, the finest swordplay in Storm Riders.

Space and time would actually freeze once that technique was unleashed. The sword would in turn be wielded by one's heart and essence, keeping themselves immune from all physical blows, and it was only by grasping 'essence attacks' that one could stop it.

And yet, that was precisely why using the Twenty-Three Swords required one's essence to leave their physical body, leaving it in a 'pseudo-death' state. Jiang He would be unable to resist at all if his physical body was struck at that moment.
