The hair on Chewba’s wrist stood up as he sensed the extremely sharp blade, which could neatly cut off his wrist at any moment.
Pale psychic energy erupted, and he instantly burst out, controlling the sword that was thrown away and intercepting this dangerous thrust with a strong sword body.
“Dang!”
A crisp sound like an iron rod hitting ice, sparks flying, and gold and iron trembling.
“Roar!”
Chewba let out a loud roar, holding the heavy sword in both hands and pressing it on the dagger.
Li Mu’s face changed, and a shocking force came along the dagger. He twisted his wrist to dissipate the tremendous force on the blade as his body flew back.
Chewba naturally wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity. He held the sword hilt with both hands and stabbed it. The sharp sword was like a giant snake turning over and stabbing towards Li Mu.
This thrust was extremely thrilling. The large sword stirred the air and made a terrifying whistling sound.
Li Mu smelled a strong smell of blood and kept retreating, constantly dodging the sword that was constantly chopping down.
Chewba was extremely energetic and danced the heavy sword like a spinning windmill, accumulating kinetic energy on the sword body. Suddenly, he slashed out a terrifying sword, continued to prepare, and repeated the cycle.
As an experienced swordsman, he keenly grasped the short-term advantage after the outbreak of psychic energy and turned his preparation into an opportunity for victory.
The heavy sword accumulated strong kinetic energy in constant swinging, squeezed the air, and even directly cut out twisted air blades, smashing the rock wall with a crackling sound.
Is the large sword already unstoppable? Chewba consciously squeezed Li Mu’s dodging space.
“Your mistake is trying to fight me in close quarters!” He began to use language to hit Li Mu’s fighting spirit: “You overestimate your own strength, kid. I won’t kill you immediately. I want to slowly crush your bones, cut your skin, and shave off your flesh!”
Before he finished speaking, he thrust out another sharp sword, and the sharp sword directly pierced the air.
Such a sharp attack could only be dodged, and could not be blocked at all. Li Mu even dared not let the dagger in his hand touch the large sword, for fear that the blade would be shattered directly.
“Sss!”
His cotton-lined bodysuit was torn open by this sword, revealing the twisted muscles on his upper body. A fine scar appeared on the skin on the side of his ribs, with blood oozing out.
Chewba took a deep breath, and even he, after wielding the heavy sword for so long, couldn’t help feeling a little tired.
Li Mu’s mouth curled up.
“I can feel it now, this is what it feels like when the psychic energy boils.”
He had never been able to understand what White Steel Broken Stream meant by “Psychic Energy Boiling.”
Under the oppression of Chewba, Li Mu had to devote his full attention to the operation of Chewba’s joints and muscles, judging his swordsmanship. If he was even slightly careless, his entire body would be strung up on Chewba’s sword like a candied fruit.
In this highly concentrated mental state, his psychic energy involuntarily began to boil.
Chewba’s pupils contracted.
“How is this possible? If you haven’t mastered the energy, how could you persist until now?”
The most basic use of energy is to control psychic energy to coordinate the body’s movements. This state is very wonderful, as if borrowing strength from the void, it can explosively release much greater strength than oneself and resist attacks with psychic energy, enhancing one’s ability to withstand blows.
To master energy, one must first master the technique of making their own psychic energy boil.
“You’re trying to trick me!”
Chewba said confidently. If Li Mu had not mastered the energy, he would not have been able to split his sword in the first place. That kind of brute force can only be obtained with the help of psychic energy.
He was sure of this and continued to swing his greatsword.
However, even he did not notice that his swordsmanship was becoming more conservative.
“Phew!”
Li Mu let out a long breath, as if he was trying to exhale all the air in his lungs.
The next moment, Chewba was horrified to see that imperceptible black light covered Li Mu’s arms.
“This is impossible!”
He had worked hard for more than ten years to make his hands reach the level of energy visible on the outside, and he was proud of it. But this young man in front of him, who had only just started practicing energy, had already reached this level with both arms.
Originally, with the help of Great Strength Divine Skill, Li Mu could already compete with an awakened individual. But after mastering the technique of energy, his strength surged even more. The knife, which was originally light, now swung as if it was weightless. His arms, transformed by the Dragon Roar Bone Sublimation Method, had psychic energy boiling and running like a river. It was only after leaving his arms that he felt a vague sensation.
No wonder Li Mei said that his threshold was only martial theory.
Under the tempering of the Dragon Roar Bone Sublimation Method, the affinity of his bones to psychic energy was extremely high, and the psychic energy naturally ran like a fish in water. For others to practice energy was like hacking through the jungle, carving out a path. But for Li Mu, who possessed Shock Calamity, the path had long been widened into a highway, allowing him to gallop forward at lightning speed.
One can only say that the Shock Calamity is indeed the most suitable relic for strengthening-type awakeners.
With one foot, Li Mu directly crushed his tough leather boots, leaving two footprints on the rocky ground.
“Unlike you, I will give you the most enjoyable death.”
A ferocious smile appeared on his face.
Chewba’s heart was pounding, and only the heavy greatsword in his hand could give him a sense of security.
“Don’t underestimate me, kid!”
The pale psychic energy suddenly brightened in his hands, and he directly erupted with psychic energy.
Erupting with psychic energy is the desperate means of a strengthening-type awakener who has mastered energy. Excess psychic energy can cause parts of the body where energy is visible to erupt with power that surpasses limits. This power can even surpass the limits that the body can withstand.
He had already erupted once, and with another eruption, his wrist was already injured and he would need immediate treatment after the battle.
The heavy greatsword suddenly accelerated, almost turning into a black phantom.
“Die!”
Chewba was full of killing intent.
But the seemingly inevitable strike actually missed. Li Mu disappeared from his sight.
Having exhausted his strength, he was unable to retract his sword, and the heavy greatsword struck the rock wall, making a dull sound.
The sturdy rock wall was directly cleaved by the greatsword, with the one-meter-four-long blade completely plunged into it.
But Chewba was no longer able to see the masterpiece of that strike. In the instant that the strike was made, Li Mu had already approached him and used his ring knife to bisect him diagonally.
“Clang!”
With a crisp sound, the back half of the cursed iron greatsword’s hilt fell to the ground.
In that strike, the hilt made of cursed iron was also cut off like rotten wood.
