Chapter 1132: Chapter 426: Ning Zhuo: Now I Can Perform Sword and Saber Combination Too
“Master, things are not looking good!” A cultivator came running to Ban Jie.
He first presented a Flying Message and then reported in a low voice.
While listening to the report, Ban Jie scanned the Flying Message with his Divine Sense, his brows immediately furrowing: “What? Ning Zhuo has found Ban Ji again and participated in the Xingyun Trial of the Nine-layered Profound Armor!”
“Damn it!”
“How did he guess it?”
Ban Jie’s expression became solemn, and he sighed inwardly: “Is this the power of the Human Tribulation? I have released a lot of smoke screens and was confident that our side didn’t leak any information, yet Ning Zhuo accurately caught on.”
“No, now is not the time to dwell on this.”
Ban Jie shook his head slightly, quickly analyzing the current situation.
The Flying Message detailed the performance of Ban Ji, Ning Zhuo, and others within the second level.
Seeing Ban Ji’s previous encounters, not having obtained a knife or a sword, Ban Jie understood the reason.
“Ning Zhuo is Ban Ji’s Human Tribulation!”
“As long as he makes a move, or even if he’s present, he will affect Ban Ji’s Qi Fortune.”
“If Ning Zhuo had not intercepted or participated in the Xingyun Trial of the Nine-layered Profound Armor, Ban Ji might have encountered the sword and knife in the first or second order.”
“But because of Ning Zhuo’s appearance and participation, Ban Ji’s Qi Fortune was greatly suppressed, rather unfortunate.”
The family had long planned for Ban Ji’s Xingyun Trial of the Nine-layered Profound Armor, with a well-established strategy. Yet now, he hadn’t even seen a single sword or knife. Such a situation is extremely rare.
However, Ban Jie was sent by the Ban Family to help Ban Ji deal with unexpected situations.
“We can’t let Ban Ji be defeated by Ning Zhuo in such a public setting!”
“If this happens, the reputation of the entire Ban Family will be dragged down, looked upon less favorably by others.”
“More importantly is the Lifespan!”
“The Human Tribulation naturally suppresses the cultivator attempting Tribulation, but it doesn’t mean the cultivator can never resist.”
“This confrontation is the best moment for counterattack.”
“If successful, Ban Ji’s Qi Fortune will be greatly invigorated, changing the passive situation to some extent. The more times this counterattack happens, Ban Ji’s ultimate Qi Fortune might even counter-suppress his Human Tribulation!”
Ban Jie clearly understood the crux of this.
The Righteous Path’s reputation is secondary; more important is Ban Ji’s Qi Fortune.
Ban Ji’s Qi Fortune needs to keep rising, rising again, until a certain level is reached, inducing a qualitative change.
Reaching this step would mean boundless prospects.
The King’s Order would officially flourish, providing a brand-new starting point and opportunities for both Ban Ji and the Ban Family.
Xuan Armor Cave.
Ning Zhuo used the sword in his hand to tap the blade of the bronze knife.
“Left Blade and Right Sword?” His thoughts continued to expand following the recent inspiration.
The sword and saber are the most common weapons, so the Demon Cultivator’s Souls absorbed by Ning Zhuo contain a lot of experience in using swords and sabers.
And this experience has been digested by Ning Zhuo in the previous two battles, transforming into his own insight.
The insights gained from actual combat were profound!
“The bronze knife and sword come with inherent moves, which is a support but also a constraint.”
“To execute Sword and Saber Combination, I must build upon this foundation, not create from scratch.”
“The bronze sword only has basic sword techniques, but the bronze knife also includes Continuous Techniques and small routines. Therefore, to innovate Sword and Saber Combination, taking the bronze knife as primary and the bronze sword as secondary is the way.”
Ning Zhuo immediately found the direction for his concept.
He took a deep breath, his left hand grasping the bronze knife, his right hand tightly holding the bronze sword, slowly setting up his stance.
The swords and sabers in his hands began to sketch continuously, driven by his thoughts.
This strange scene attracted quite a bit of attention.
“Look, what is Ning Zhuo doing?”
“He’s already refined the bronze knife, his physical injuries have mostly healed, yet he’s not heading to the next battle?”
“It seems like he’s… creating moves?”
The onlookers couldn’t help but look at each other.
Someone held their forehead: “This is our Xingyun Trial of the Nine-layered Profound Armor, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone devising moves during the trial.”
“Hmph! Ning Zhuo spent effort learning in battles before, and now he abandons the trial to create moves. He doesn’t take our Xuan Armor Cave seriously at all!”
“He’s a talented prodigy, arrogant and prideful, that’s expected.”
Some began to feel dissatisfied with Ning Zhuo, thinking he didn’t value this Xingyun Trial, hence disrespecting the Xuan Armor Cave.
“I look forward to seeing Ning Zhuo defeated and eliminated, who lets him waste precious time here!”
“Hmph, he’s trying to create combo moves. Is this something achievable in one sweep?”
“Indeed, it’s a bit of wishful thinking…”
Ning Zhuo also felt the difficulty in his creation attempt.
The way sword move and blade technique exert force and their application have many common points, but also differences.
To use both sword and saber simultaneously and achieve more powerful combat effects requires a deep understanding of the sword and saber.
In other words, it requires this level of Martial Arts Realm!
Ning Zhuo certainly doesn’t possess such conditions.
Switching to Five Elements Magic, with his realm, he could easily innovate spells in combat.
“But I have other means.” Ning Zhuo secretly activated Life Hanging Thread, connecting to his close kin, “Boss, assist me!”
Sun Lingtong, far in Shuyu Pavilion, had long known Ning Zhuo was going to participate in the trial of the Nine-layered Profound Armor, and he was prepared.
Sun Lingtong activated his Innate ability, understanding Luoshu, providing Ning Zhuo with beneficial influences from Taoist Artifact.
Simultaneously, Sun Lingtong also has notable proficiency in swords, especially sword skill. Ning Zhuo conveyed his circumstances through Life Hanging Thread to Sun Lingtong.
