Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 115: Qin Versus Lan Ming Part 4

Bang!

The dark blue claw smashed against the star-shaped disk, creating an immense impact around it. The ground beneath them broke into pieces and the sky tremble.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The barrier around the arena was destroyed by the impact, even the elders were sent flying. At this moment, the entire arena trembled. The audience was smashed away, even other participants were hit by the impact.

None of them could bear the power of the impact and ended up using their powerful attacks to block the impact. At this moment, Elder Chen and the sect master appeared. They raised their hand and formed a new barrier around the ground with their qi.

Once they formed the barrier, the impact kept hitting those barriers but this time those barriers didn't get blasted.

The head elder who had barely stood up glanced at the sect master and sighed 'Thankfully, the sect master and Elder Chen came in time. This might be their strongest attack but how does it even threaten those at Revolving Core?'

'I am sure if I face it I wouldn't even get a chance to retaliate. Thankfully, Origin Law Realm cultivator can infuse the power of law into their qi and condense the better attack and defense otherwise the entire arena would have been destroyed.'

In the sky, the sect master stared at Qin and his killing intent slightly leaked. The power that Qin showed made him quite wary of him. But soon, he sighed 'I shouldn't worry too much about him. Since he doesn't join my son's faction, Jin Hao will take care of him during the comet festival.'

On another hand, Elder Chen stared at Qin speechlessly and asked himself 'What the hell? Where is all that low-key you talked with me? Why are you showing your strength so openly? Did you forget your true intention?'

But, he didn't continue scolding Qin in my mind. He also saw Lan Ming's strength and gradually understood the reason. If he doesn't show his strength, there is no way he can win against Lan Ming.

Unfortunately, none of them know that Qin was still hiding. His cultivation was never revealed. He doesn't use his elemental qi. He can't exert the pure qi of a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator.

And, it wasn't just him who thinks that way.

Even, Xiao Lan asked him the same question when Qin was pushing his star disk.

Qin's answer was pretty simple. For him, there are two kinds of low-key people. A first kind is a person who literally doesn't care about others and keeps cultivating. He doesn't try to involve himself in difficult situations and always acts like a coward.

Qin doesn't mind being this kind but two things stop him. First, he can't improve his swordsmanship without a battle. While fighting Lan Ming, he had to concentrate so much that his mind was clear of all distractions that he had before.

This helped him improve his swordsmanship. If Lan Ming hadn't injured him. If he hadn't pushed himself to concentrate and dodge the attack, he wouldn't have improved. This is why a swordsman needs a constant battle and hence he can't choose to become such a low-key person.

Second, he needs immense resources such as the cultivation technique of light and dark. He also needs contribution points, essence stones, and other kinds of resources. Thus, he can't stay completely low-key.

Then, there is Partial Low-key. This is similar but also quite different than the first one. Here, he will stay low-key but only to hide his strength. He will engage with everything. He will constantly prove his worth. And, he will use his talent to gain more resources.

And, while others think that he is improving fast, he will improve at a rate that can't be described by the words. Qin's true strength can destroy the barrier, and even injure Origin Law Realm cultivator especially when he uses Myriad Heaven Palm.

Currently, he only used one-half of one-third of the total qi in his body. He had kept one-third of qi as normal qi and two-third as elemental qi. And, he can even heal his injuries faster with water elemental qi. But, he can't use it because that would be against the rule.

This is what he said to Xiao Lan to make him shut up. Because when fighting Lan Ming, he didn't care about any reasons, any lies, any mistakes, he only cared about the excitement when he pulled off that attack against an opponent but not an enemy.

The only regret he had was Lan Ming's strength. If his cultivation was also at the Qi Condensation Realm, he wouldn't have to hold back.

This is why even though his veins were literally splitting and bleeding, he didn't stop from pushing his star disk. On another side, Lan Ming didn't hold back either. He literally used every bit of power he could gain from his bloodlines to hold his War Dragon Claw.

Because without this claw, he can't bear the power of destruction. Slowly, the star disk started disintegrating but the claw was also disappearing. Qin and Lan Ming didn't let go until both of their attacks disappeared.

As soon as they disappeared, Qin and Lan Ming stood in front of each other while gasping heavily. At this moment, Lan Ming slowly puts a smirk on his fist and his grey qi gushed out his fist.

"It seems I won."

Qin panted while raising his head. He stared at Lan Ming and said "My qi has run out."

Saying so, he touched the hilt of his sword and continued "But, I did say I have what I need to defeat you."

With his remaining stamina, he gripped his sword. Seeing this, Lan Ming's expression changed. He was hanging on a thread of stamina and qi. He felt good when he saw Qin's Qi emptying but now, his mood changes.

He knew Qin was bluffing. To be exact, a swordsman like Qin will never bluff. He didn't hesitate to burst out his flames and burn his qi. His stamina was down so he can only use this flame one last time and with his remaining qi, he can only empower it once as well.

He clenched his fist and spread his arms then bent them. His elbow sticks out and suddenly burst out a stream of fire. In an instant, his figure reached near Qin and he throws a punch.

But, at this moment, Qin was calm as he could.

'Sword Eyes- The first ability of Sword Heart Realm. Once you have the sword heart, you will see the world with your inner eyes.'

"Sword Cloak- Slaying Moon Piercing Heaven!"

Splash!

His sword suddenly moved, splitting the flames in half just when the flames on his elbow runs out. Splitting the flames, his sword heads straight to his chest and slashed it fiercely. The deep sword mark remains on Lan Ming's chest as the blood gushed out.

'Sword Eyes! So, he awakened Sword Eyes huh! I guess this is my loss.'

Thud!

Lan Ming slowly closed his eyes and fell to the ground. At this moment, he couldn't even heal his body without the stamina.

Qin's legs trembled a little but he held his steps tight. That last attack took every bit of stamina he had. Before the competition, he never expected he would show his most powerful attack. But now, not only did he show that attack but his opponent also destroyed it.

Yes, he didn't put his true strength in it. And, if he had, the power of destruction could have gone to a whole new level. But, to make him use this ability and injure him talks a lot about his opponent's strength.

His Myriad Heaven Palm took everything it has to block that claw and transferred all of that physical strength into his hand. Qin turned his head at Lan Ming with his fluttering eyes. Even before the last strike, he was almost exhausted. Now, it had gone to a whole new level.

He couldn't help but look at his sword which was dipped with blood.

'Sword Eyes! Sword Cloak! Myriad Heaven Palm! Ultimate Ruthless Sword! This battle not only forced me to use everything I got but also helped me improve myself.'

'Low-key! Fuck with that title. I will never hesitate to choose battle over hiding. Even if I have to battle the entire world..... Let's hope not! I don't want to face the entire world. Just thinking about facing three sects, three families and Blood Demon Sect makes my skin crawl.'

'I should probably lay down for the next month and improve my strength. Body Cultivation and Soul Cultivation, I must catch up with these two. There will always be geniuses and I can't be trampled by them. I will never get trampled by them.'

'This competition was just a junction that showed me the true path of Devil Cultivation, Dual Cultivation, and Sword Cultivation. From now on, I will be a devil who will train a sword that lives in his hand and a sword under his pants.'

At this moment, Qin couldn't help but feel his blood boiling, he looked at the sky and shouted-----

'MY JOURNEY OF A DUAL SWORD DEVIL CULTIVATOR HAS JUST BEGUN.'
