Chapter 122: Chapter 121: Samadhi Blade
Two figures slowly approached under the watchful eyes of the crowd, finally stepping onto the ring to face each other.
Neither of them spoke. Their gazes locked. In a duel between powerful Martial Artists, the clash of their rising auras said more than words ever could.
Will locked, Spirit entangled.
It was something profound and mysterious.
The spectators surrounding the ring, though not the direct targets of the fighters’ locked wills, could still feel a solemn pressure emanating from the two men. It was almost suffocating, like a great mountain looming before them, or as if they were standing before a towering, mountain-like idol in a sacred temple, not daring to make a sound.
This was the ethereal aura of a Martial Dao master.
But between the two combatants, this aura was far more tangible.
In Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes, his opponent was in a peculiar Meditation Realm. His Spirit, internal organs, body, and Qi and Blood all seemed to condense into a single, unified whole within this state.
And within this Meditation Realm, the man’s body seemed to become a source, a faint flame spreading from within him into the surrounding space.
Essence! Qi! Spirit!
This was Samadhi!
When these three elements unite, a divine fire is born. This is the Samadhi True Fire!
Meanwhile, in Gao Wujie’s eyes.
The Hundred Beasts Will within Zhao Xuanqi was no longer concealed. It began to spread rapidly, accompanied by a terrifying shadow and a potent, bloody scent. Its sheer scale and terror, almost beyond imagination, bore down on him.
Yet, Gao Wujie’s expression remained unchanged, perfectly calm. In fact, under that pressure, the union of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit grew even tighter, as if condensing into a single point.
Then, BANG!
A Qi Surge suddenly enveloped his body.
Qi Circulation Throughout the Body!
At the same time, his internal organs began to operate at full capacity. Accompanied by his fierce breathing, they emitted a faint hum, like a high-powered machine.
Internal Organs Resonating!
In an instant, his terrifying power erupted. His eyes, which had been in a state of Meditation Realm, now seemed to burn with a raging fire.
His Essence, Qi, and Spirit flared up in unison, a blazing inferno.
He formed a Hand Blade and chopped down fiercely.
BOOM!
His terrifying aura exploded like a burst of flame. The powerful strike seemed to slice the very air, parting the shockwave to either side. The friction of his palm against the air produced an incredibly sharp sound.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zhao Xuanqi.
As swift as fire!
As the blade descended, the intense, scorching intent made Zhao Xuanqi feel a burning heat, as if his own will was about to be melted.
’Interesting!’
A sharp glint flashed in Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes.
The next moment, BANG!
Qi Circulation Throughout the Body!
Blood Essence Infusion!
All-Body Extreme Breakthrough!
His body suddenly swelled to a terrifying height of about 2.3 meters. His skin turned a purplish-blue, engorged with blood, making him look as frightening as a demon.
He formed a Tiger Claw with his hand, fingers spread. It tore through the air, his strike reaching its maximum speed!
ROAR!
Fierce Form.
Tiger Slaying Wind Chant!
Back at the Yuehai Martial Arts Association, Zhao Xuanqi had used this very technique to shatter the wrist of Li Zhaotong from the Sha Blade Sect in a single blow!
The formidable penetrating power instantly created a faint, cone-shaped depression in the air.
BOOM!
The Hand Blade and the palm collided, creating a violent air-wave. It was as if a grenade had detonated on the ring. Their bodies were locked in place—the strike was an even match!
The two were momentarily frozen before the recoil forced them apart.
Then, SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH!
Gao Wujie’s Hand Blade cut through the air again, launching a continuous assault on Zhao Xuanqi. His blade-like attacks were like fire, their speed and explosive power terrifying.
Most importantly, empowered by that wondrous Meditation Realm, his will was filled with flashes of insight. His Sword Technique had no fixed pattern, and his strikes were cunning to the extreme.
This was a fusion of power and skill!
However, even this dazzling Sword Technique was steadily blocked by Zhao Xuanqi.
Ape Form! Bear Form! Tiger Form!
Sparrow Form! Eagle Form! Falcon Form!
Various Beast Forms switched ceaselessly on Zhao Xuanqi’s body. He was always able to unleash terrifying power from unbelievable angles, blocking Gao Wujie’s strikes!
This series of attacks and responses was beyond the dynamic vision of ordinary people. They couldn’t clearly see the changes in the techniques at all. Only Martial Artists with a decent Secret Inheritance could barely keep up with their pace.
It was dazzling!
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Only the continuous sonic booms from their clashes, like exploding grenades, reverberated in the crowd’s ears and kicked up gusts of wind, letting them know just how terrifying the exchange was.
’Qi Circulation Throughout the Body! That guy has reached Qi Circulation Throughout the Body too! His Cross-Training foundation is incredibly profound! And from the looks of it, his Training Method realm doesn’t seem to be as high as Senior Brother Gao’s, yet he can actually match Senior Brother Gao in a direct confrontation to this degree?!’
A look of shock appeared in the eyes of several Sanmei Sect disciples.
’So strong!’
’His Training Method is inferior to mine, and he hasn’t even fully stepped into the realm of Inner Cultivation, yet his attack power can match my own. He even seems to have a slight edge over me in terms of skill, adaptability, and presence!’
’All-Body Extreme Breakthrough?!’
’Only a foundation like that could overcome the limitations of his Training Method and unleash this level of Physical Ability!’
It might have looked like an even back-and-forth, but Gao Wujie knew clearly that he was the one at a disadvantage!
’The Sanmei Saber combines Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Each strike consumes a massive amount of Physical Ability and Spirit. If this stalemate continues, I’ll definitely be the first one to show an opening!’
A powerful thought burst forth in his mind, using a Secret Technique to stimulate his internal organs.
The heart!
’The heart belongs to fire. Once the Heart Fire is ignited, the Samadhi True Fire will burn even more fiercely!’
Five Qi Tongxuan!
THUMP!
His heart suddenly throbbed like the core of a firearm, and his powerful Qi and Blood erupted with an almost explosive force.
TSSSSSS!
Instantly, his body temperature soared. His pores opened, and under the steaming heat, his sweat vaporized in a flash, rising as a misty steam.
And the power of his blade-like attacks underwent a qualitative leap.
BOOM!
Kalpa-Fire Incinerates the Heavens!
The spiritual aura that erupted along with it was like a calamity fire descending from the heavens, seeking to destroy everything on earth.
’Bring it on!’
Spurred on by his opponent’s powerful display, Zhao Xuanqi’s Spirit also rose to its peak.
Fierce Soaring Two Stances fusion!
Form of the Fierce Beast.
Qiongqi!
BOOM!
The collision was like a clap of muffled thunder. The specially reinforced floor of the ring cracked open, sending rubble flying.
Gao Wujie’s body froze, and he couldn’t help but take half a step back. But Zhao Xuanqi’s muscles rippled like a sponge, quickly dispersing the aftershock of the attack. A terrifying smile crept onto his face as he launched another attack at Gao Wujie first.
A Tiger Claw shot straight for his chest!
’Even that move couldn’t suppress him?’
Gao Wujie’s pupils contracted. ’If this goes on, I’ll be the one to lose!’
His gaze changed in an instant.
The ethereal calm in them vanished completely, replaced by bloodshot eyes that revealed a terrifying madness.
Samadhi True Fire, by unifying Essence, Qi, and Spirit, suppresses all distracting thoughts, desires, and instincts within one’s will, burying them deep inside. As they continue to accumulate, they become increasingly terrifying.
When the Samadhi Yin-Yang Blade is cultivated to a certain realm, a terrifying Heart Demon will emerge from within the Meditation Realm, forming something akin to a second personality.
The greater the Divine Techniques, the deeper the demonic obsession!
The moment this personality is unleashed, the body will, regardless of the cost, erupt with unimaginable Physical Ability under the intense spiritual stimulation.
This was the Secret Technique passed down in the Sanmei Sect.
Yin Yang Intent!
