Chapter 26: Killing and the Changes in Two Spiritual Techniques

The sudden change in the battle left Zhou Tian and others watching on the sidelines stunned.

The suppressed Zhou Tian suddenly erupted, and the fierceness exceeded imagination, resembling a wild beast in the mountains and forests.

If you only look at the information on Zhou Tian's panel, the basic swordsmanship has already reached level two, and the basic leg technique has just reached level two.

However, these two were completely different.

Basic swordsmanship at level two relied on simple practice without any real combat experience.

While basic leg technique at level two relied on the life-and-death struggles of the breath in the jungle and the Starry Forest.

Although the skill level in mastering both might be equivalent, the execution was entirely different.

Every hesitation in the fight, every pause reflected, and every wrong choice in techniques brought about completely different consequences.

Zhou Tian was well aware that if there were another identical version of himself, the other him using sword techniques would be a match.

Within five moves, Zhou Tian could break the opponent's neck, just as he had kicked off Akaza's thigh a moment ago.

Akaza quickly regenerated his thigh, and the half of the neck that was bitten off also returned to its original state.

Raising his left hand, Zhou Tian blocked the incoming attack using Nichirin sword.

Without giving Akaza a chance to catch his breath, Zhou Tian charged again.

His hands, like poisonous snakes in the thicket, occasionally reaching out, tearing off chunks of flesh.

The Diamond Iron Leg, mixed with a fierce wind, was like a slashing blade, repeatedly breaking Akaza's limbs.

Zhou Tian's spirit was tense, and his ferocious moves became more intense, with blood constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth.

In terms of pure strength, after the amplification through the breathing technique, Zhou Tian was almost equal to Akaza, very close indeed.

In terms of body hardness, he had the upper hand.

The explosive attack speed completely suppressed Akaza.

However, the opponent's formidable recovery ability, exquisite techniques, and a sharp Fighting spirit Dou Qi made every effective attack from Akaza inflict significant injuries on Zhou Tian.

Fortunately, Zhou Tian was not a pure martial artist.

An emerald green ring on his left hand continuously flickered with a faint light, channeling power into Zhou Tian's body, restoring him.

Suddenly, a streak of fire accurately slashed towards them, reaching Akaza's neck in an instant.

Akaza's eyes widened, and he roared, " Destructive Death!"

"Boom!"

An explosion-like sound echoed, and Zhou Tian was sent flying.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he stabilized his body.

Highly focused, the same sensation of surpassing limits as before reappeared for Zhou Tian, and he vividly felt the surroundings.

"No, even though I can suppress Akaza, without the Nichirin sword, the threat is almost zero!"

"My suppression is not enough. The vines, although strong in recovery, lack some resilience."

"Breath of Stone! Spiritualy of Earth?"

"I am breathing the wind; should I overlap it?..."

In an instant, thoughts flashed through his mind, but actions had already instinctively begun.

In the distance, Akaza, clutching his half-neck, retreated several steps, immediately noticing Zhou Tian spitting blood.

Akaza tore off the vines entwined around him and angrily said, "It's these vines again!"

"Bang!"

Akaza charged towards Zhou Tian.

"Kyōjurō!"

Zhou Tian shouted while charging forward.

The fierce wind swept around Zhou Tian, surpassing Akaza in speed.

Vines shot out, but Akaza ignored these annoying things.

However, he failed to notice that this time, the vines were slightly different.

A touch of earthy yellow light blended in, turning the emerald green vines into a dark green color.

Akaza's negligence led to his defeat!

The dark green vines tightly entwined Akaza.

Akaza erupted with strength, and his face instantly changed.

A tense sound rang out, and the vines surprisingly did not directly break.

Zhou Tian kicked towards Akaza's neck.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones shattering echoed as Akaza's entire body was kicked forcefully backward.

Vines continued to extend, following this force.

"Ah!"

A roar sounded behind Akaza, as Kyōjurō, the Flame Hashira, with half of his face soaked in blood, brandished the Nichirin sword ablaze.

In Akaza's despair, the flaming blade slashed toward the shattered neck.

With almost no resistance, the head was directly severed.

Without pausing, Zhou Tian pulled out the Nichirin sword and charged forward.

The blade pierced through the flying head, stabbing into the corpse.

The Nichirin sword, penetrating the head and the body, directly stuck into the ground. Zhou Tian reached forward, and a flash of white light occurred.

Akaza, who was originally glaring and still thinking of resistance, met his final death.

The speed of turning into ashes increased by threefold. A silver-white illusory chest, about the size of a palm, floated gently.

Zhou Tian slowly stood up, smoothly storing the chest in his storage space.

He collected the glowing disintegration material into the Innate Primal Chaos Pyramid Altar material space.

Kyōjurō stood behind the corpse, supporting his body with the sword.

Blood soaked his clothes, scars covered his body, and the blood on his forehead dyed half of his face red.

But fortunately, he survived.

"Mr. Zhou Tian, thank you!" Kyōjurō smiled and said softly.

"No need to thank me; this is not just my effort alone!" Zhou Tian took a deep breath and responded.

Lowering his head to look at the dissipating figure of Akaza, Zhou Tian maintained the breathing technique, restoring his heavily injured body.

From top to bottom, Zhou Tian's body only had no noticeable injuries on his legs, while other areas had varying degrees of damage.

Especially his hands, not as resilient as his legs, had already experienced minor fractures during the intense battle.

"Worthy of being a third-tier novice. The combat power is truly terrifying, especially that nearly -immortal physical recovery." Zhou Tian contemplated the recent battle.

"If I can convert the combat power of leg techniques into swordsmanship, even without a breakthrough in the breathing technique, both Kyojuro and I could have jointly killed Akaza."

Moreover, the degree of injury would have been much lower than the current situation when killing Akaza.

Zhou Tian understood that in the recent battle, although he could suppress Akaza, the actual threat he posed was minimal.

"It was right to come out for a trip; I immediately discovered my own shortcomings." Zhou Tian had decided that, once he recovered from his injuries, he would immediately engage in practical swordsmanship exercises.

Zhou Tian glanced at Kyōjurō, who was severely injured and would probably need a long period of recuperation.

"I have the Life Ring and a strong physique. With minor injuries, I should be able to recover quickly."

Although it was said to be fast, it was only in comparison to the heavily injured Kyōjurō, without needing several months of recuperation.

Slowly sitting down, continuously practicing the breathing technique, Zhou Tian absorbed the power from the Life Ring.

The voices of the three little ones sounded in his ears, the surroundings gradually becoming noisy, but Zhou Tian remained immersed in his practice.

Different from before, not only did he possess the influx of the Spiritualty of Wind, but the almost endless Spiritualty of Earth in the ground beneath his feet was also active.

With each breath, it flowed into Zhou Tian's body.

The hardness of his body subtly increased, and his physique became stronger.
