Chapter 467 Different Perspectives

**"Clang————!"**

Upon the vast ocean, the collision of steel against steel suddenly rang out. The entire silent space was filled with the smell of gunpowder, instantly transforming into a battlefield.

Amidst the sparks bursting forth, daggers intertwined, creating blade lights that glimmered like moonlight— looking dazzling and mesmerizing.

**"Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang————!"**

As if triggering a chain reaction, in the next second, blade edges fiercely clashed with each other, continuous collisions causing sparks and echoes to appear frequently, creating ripples on the boundless sea.

Fang Li and Ryougi Shiki were thus engaged in combat at an astonishing speed within the erupting sparks.

**"Pā————!"**

This was the sound of their feet stepping on the sea surface, causing water splashes to burst in an instant.

**"Chī————!"**

This was the sound of extremely fast movements traversing through space, turning the atmosphere into a gust of wind.

At this moment, Fang Li and Ryougi Shiki both moved at astonishing speeds across the sea, resembling phantoms. They intertwined, separated, chased each other, and evaded, making their figures look like meteors flying over the sea—visually captivating.

However, whenever these two chasing meteors collided, bright blade lights would emerge on the sea, akin to heavily colliding moon arcs.

**"Clank————!"**

In the crisp collision sound, the powerful force flicked the meeting meteors forcefully, causing Fang Li and Ryougi Shiki's figures to appear. Their feet scraped against the sea, violently retreating in the fiercely sliced open seawater, only to stop shortly afterward.

However, the second round of confrontation quickly arrived.

As Ryougi Shiki stabilized her figure, she once again broke through the water's surface. Approaching like lightning, she swung a continuous slash in Fang Li's direction, resembling a dance of swords.

**"Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang————!"**

The clear collision sound echoed once again, causing ripples to appear on the sea surface, one after another.

Facing Ryougi Shiki's extremely fast slashes, Fang Li could only hold Moonlight Dagger, continuously flicking away the falling blade light. His figure repeatedly retreated, constantly pursued by Ryougi Shiki. It was as if he was enveloped from all directions by the rushing blade light, making it thrilling enough to make one break into a cold sweat.

Although Fang Li didn't actually break into a cold sweat, his face was tightly strained, indicating that he was far from relaxed.

The ice-blue Mystic Eyes had long manifested in Fang Li's eyes.

However, countless clashes of blades still hadn't allowed Fang Li to hit any Death Lines— whether on the opponent's body or the weapon, they were all perfectly avoided.

Fang Li wasn't surprised by this at all.

After all, the opponent also possessed Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, so she is fully aware of the Death Line's positions and Fang Li's likely attacks, so she is naturally able to avoid them perfectly.

However, Fang Li, also a possessor of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, should, in theory, be as aware of where the opponent would attack.

But from the beginning until now, Fang Li had been unable to predict the path of Ryougi Shiki's dagger.

Every time Fang Li thought Ryougi Shiki was about to sever the Death Line on his neck, her dagger would instead cut towards his chest.

Every time Fang Li thought Ryougi Shiki was about to sever the Death Line on his Moonlight Dagger, her dagger would instead cut towards his head.

Like playing cards unpredictably, even though all of Fang Li's attack trajectories were seen through, the opponent's attack trajectory was unpredictable. It was extremely challenging to judge, making Fang Li fall into a disadvantageous position.

Moreover, apart from this, Fang Li also discovered something incredibly astonishing.

Regardless of movement speed, Ryougi Shiki's attack speed seemed to subtly surpass his own, always initiating attacks a step faster. This left Fang Li in a position where he could only parry, unable to take the initiative.

**This was an incredibly astonishing revelation.**

Because Fang Li discovered that in this spiritual space, he and Ryougi Shiki should be completely identical in terms of conditions. Whether it was physical ability or weaponry, the conditions were entirely the same.

This became evident from Fang Li's inability to reproduce Bo Xie in this space, and the fact that the opponent also wielded a dagger reminiscent of the Moonlight Dagger. However, Ryougi Shiki's attack speed was inexplicably faster than Fang Li's, which surprised him.

As if reading Fang Li's astonishment, Ryougi Shiki spoke again.

**"Is there really anything to be surprised about?"**

Speaking these words exactly like when she first appeared, Ryougi Shiki took a sudden step forward. She swung several deadly slashes toward Fang Li's entire body, with the chilly blade light resembling lightning, slashing in Fang Li's direction.

**"————!"**

Fang Li's heart tightened as he quickly took a step back to create distance. Simultaneously, he raised Moonlight Dagger again to flick away the incoming slashes.

In this situation, Ryougi Shiki continuously unleashed deadly slashes, maintaining a relentless attack. She opened her ice-blue Mystic Eyes and uttered heartless words.

"Even if the conditions are entirely the same, whether you can use them well is another matter. Even if the scenery we observe with our eyes is the same, our 'Observation' perspectives are entirely different."

Different perspectives?

What did that mean?

As Fang Li contemplated this, Ryougi Shiki suddenly approached and continued speaking.

"You are too fixated on using that pair of eyes to trace Death Lines. When you focus on a Death Line, and then rush over to swing your dagger, it takes too much time. We use this pair of eyes not to see those lines but the entirety of death. If you keep fixating on one line to cut, not only is it easy to expose your target, but it also makes you develop an overly heavy attack consciousness. If your opponent is a seasoned warrior, they can judge your next move from your line of sight. How can you win like that?"

Ryougi Shiki's words made Fang Li immediately think of Sherlock Holmes.

Wasn't the battle with Sherlock exactly like this?

"This pair of eyes is indeed powerful. If you can hit the Death Line, you will be impossible to defeat. But if you miss, it's basically just for show."

"With this pair of eyes, your instincts understand how to fight better than you do. You only need to look at the overall death of the opponent; as for which Death Line to attack, leave it entirely to your body to react. After all, our innate skill lies only in killing, right?"

As she spoke, Ryougi Shiki suddenly flicked Fang Li's Moonlight Dagger in a burst of intense sparks. Immediately, she reversed her grip on the sharp dagger, letting the blade flash down like flowing light.

That chilly blade edge, as fast as the aurora.
