i have special reading skills

Chapter 135
"Sure enough, it has been upgraded again?"

Bai Shu was not surprised at all when he heard the notification sound coming from his ear.

Before reading "Notes on the Double Ninth Festival" led to the upgrade of Yiyang Finger, Bai Shu had guessed that any skill he learned should be upgradeable in theory, but the upgrade conditions are different.

Like martial arts skills, if you want to upgrade, you need to read more advanced knowledge than your own skills.

Of course, if Bai Shu comprehends it himself, these skills can still be upgraded.

Just like now, the understanding of swordsmanship he had accumulated after discussing Dao with Zhang Sanfeng in Wudang Mountain was finally fully digested and absorbed when he happened to watch Lightning Slashing the Air today, which led to the upgrade of Dugu Nine Swords.

Because this upgrade was triggered by Baishu, no knowledge appeared in his mind as before.

However, Bai Shu doesn't feel much regret about this, because what he comprehends this time is the highest state in swordsmanship - using Qi to control the sword!
That is the legendary sword-controlling technique!

You must know that even if it is the "Mountain and River Breathing Map" from the realm of comprehension, if he wants to learn this sword control technique, he must at least enter the alchemy state.

"Swordsmanship?"

A eager smile appeared on the corner of Bai Shu's mouth, he glanced at the flying sword in his hand, and then lightly tossed it in the air.

At the same time, Bai Shu stretched out his palm, and the true energy in his palm attached to the flying sword.

hum~~
With a certain special frequency, the flying sword that had reached the top and was about to fall suddenly trembled slightly, and then hovered in mid-air in such a strange way, as if it was supported by a pair of invisible palms.

Bai Shu opened his eyes, put his index finger and middle finger together, turned it into a finger sword, and drew a circle forward.

brush!
In an instant, Feijian drew a circle in the air as if he had spirituality.

"disease!"

Bai Zhu let out a soft drink, and suddenly slashed forward with her fingers.

Whoosh!
The magic weapon flying sword also quickly stabbed the reef in front of me with the sound of hunting wind!
Rumble!
There were two people hugging that statue. I don't know how many years it has been standing here, and how many winds and rains it has experienced. Under the blow of the flying sword, it exploded into countless pieces.

"What a fencing technique!"

Seeing how powerful Yujianshu is, Baishu yelled in surprise.

Next, after many tests, Bai Shu discovered that the maximum attack distance of this Imperial Sword Technique is about ten meters, that is to say, within a radius of ten meters, Bai Shu can control the flying sword to kill anyone at will!
The most important thing is that using Qi to control the sword does not necessarily need to use the flying sword as the carrier, as Dugu Qiubai said, plants, trees, bamboo and stones can all be used as swords!
If Bai Shu learns from Dongfang Bubai and uses an embroidery needle as a weapon, perhaps the power of using Qi to control the sword may be much smaller, but it will make people more difficult to guard against.

Of course, the sword control technique is so powerful, but it also has disadvantages, that is - it consumes too much true energy.

With Bai Shu's current strength in the mid-stage of the True Qi Realm, if he uses the Sword Controlling Technique with all his strength, he can use it more than twenty times at most, and the True Qi in his body will be almost consumed.

However, compared to the powerful power of Yujianshu, this shortcoming of Baishu is still acceptable.

Afterwards, Bai Shu stayed on the island for another two days, and after thoroughly consolidating his sword control skills, he planned to leave.

"Senior Dugu, this junior doesn't have such a broad mind like you, so I will destroy this secret book of swordsmanship,"

Bai Shu bowed in front of the stone table a few times, and said: "But don't worry, I won't let the Dugu Nine Swords be lost. In the future, I will find a suitable person to pass on this swordsmanship and carry it forward."

After leaving Wujian Cave, Baishu came to the beach.

After a little identification of the direction, Bai Shu found the previous sampan, threw it towards the sea, and then stepped on it with light work.

As soon as he stepped on it, the sampan sank down slightly, but as the zhenqi gushed out from the soles of Bai Zhu's feet, the sampan surfaced again.

"Haha, my sword control skills can't support my sword flying yet, but... I can imitate it on the sea, it's still no problem."

True energy gushed out from under Bai Zhu's feet, and the sampan seemed to be equipped with a jet, and began to gallop across the sea.

After just comprehending Yujianshu, Bai Shu also tried Yujianflying, but unfortunately, Yujianflying requires too much true energy, and he can't do it at this stage.

But compared to flying with the sword, riding the waves is much easier.

Firstly, the wooden board has buoyancy on the water, and secondly, Baizhu's Qinggong can further reduce his own weight. Therefore, by using the wooden board, Baizhu can travel on the water easily and effortlessly.

"Isn't that what Patriarch Bodhidharma did when he crossed the river with one reed?"

Bai Shu thought to himself.

……

Half an hour later, when Bai Shu wanted to take a short rest due to too much energy consumption, he suddenly found a multi-masted sailing boat approaching to his left.

"Have a boat?"

Bai Shu looked happy.

Although walking on the waves looks very chic, the consumption of true energy should not be underestimated. Although it is not as much as Yujian flying, but with Bai Shu's current cultivation base, it can only support him to travel for half an hour.

Therefore, seeing the boat approaching, Bai Shu immediately fell into the sea, pretending to be a drowning person.

However, when he came near the sailboat with the sampan in his arms, Bai Shu's expression changed slightly.

He found that the sailors on the ship were not dressed like people from the Central Plains.

After getting a little closer and seeing the sailors' hairstyles, Bai Shu was even more certain—I saw that every sailor on the ship had no hair on their heads, only a bun on each side of the ears.

"It turned out to be a Japanese warrior?"

Bai Shu's heart sank slightly.

You must know that although the Japanese pirates during this period were not as rampant as during the Ming Dynasty, they still had records of attacking coastal areas.

If it was a Japanese pirate, Bai Shu's wish to return to land by boat would probably come to nothing.

Sure enough, when the samurai on board found a man in Ming Dynasty costume floating in the sea, they all pointed at Bai Shu and burst out laughing.

Then, a warrior took out a bow and arrow and shot an arrow directly at Baishu.

But perhaps because he didn't stand firmly, the arrow missed a lot.

Seeing this samurai's poor performance, the rest laughed even more.

Then, another samurai took the bow and arrow and shot at Bai Shu again—they actually took Bai Shu as a target in the competition.

"At first, I thought that your ship might be a merchant ship for normal trade, but now it seems that it is probably Japanese pirates!"

A cold light flickered in Bai Shu's eyes: "It just so happens that I have just mastered the art of controlling the sword, so I will use you to try the sword!"

Seeing this arrow was shot towards him, Bai Shu caught the arrow with his right hand, and then swung it violently, the arrow flew back at a faster speed than when it came.

The warriors on the boat never expected that the man who fell into the water could receive the arrow empty-handed, and then threw the arrow back. Unprepared, Bai Shu's arrow hit a warrior in the cheek with incomparable accuracy.

"what!"

The warrior who was shot immediately covered his face and let out a cry of pain.

Seeing the samurai fall, the samurai beside him turned pale with fright and came over to inquire one after another.

The rest of the warriors immediately took out their bows and arrows, ready to kill the culprit Bai Shu to avenge their companions.

But before they could shoot their bows and arrows, they saw Bai Shu who was still on the surface of the water suddenly jumped up, flew straight up to about two feet high, then turned lightly, and landed on the deck lightly like an eagle.

"Nani?"

Seeing this scene beyond their imagination, these warriors were all dumbfounded, and they froze in place like clay sculptures and wood sculptures.

And Bai Shu took this opportunity to have a panoramic view of the scene on the boat.

But immediately, the scene on the boat made his eyes turn red instantly.

On one side of the deck, a few samurai were lying on the body of a few ragged Han women, and beside him, there were several samurai clapping and laughing.

"Damn it, you all deserve to die!"

Bai Shu's eyes were red, full of tyranny.

This was the first time he had such a strong killing intent. The scene in front of him reminded him of the painful memory that the Dongying people brought to Huaguo hundreds of years later.

Hearing Bai Shu's icy voice that seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hells, several warriors woke up in an instant, roaring one by one and rushing towards Bai Shu.

Bai Shu's eyes were like lightning, and he showed no intention of showing mercy. With a flick of his right hand, the flying sword, a magic weapon, appeared in his palm.

"Die!"

The flying sword in Bai Shu's palm shone with a cold light, and with a single wave, he cut the No. 1 warrior in two.

After that is No.2, No.3...

In just a short time, the dozen or so warriors in front of him were all killed by Bai Shu, and a strong bloody aura began to waft on the boat.

The movement here has already attracted the attention of the rest of the warriors on board.

Originally, they still wanted to support their companions, but when they saw Bai Shu's strength like a demon god, they were afraid, and they all shrank and dared not move forward.

They were terrified, but Bai Shu didn't intend to stop at all, he held a flying sword dripping with blood, and approached these warriors step by step.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Every step of Bai Shu was like a giant hammer hitting the souls of these warriors.

They looked at each other, no one dared to take a step forward.

Slowly, as Bai Shu got closer and closer, a warrior couldn't stand the pressure any longer. With a roar, he rushed towards Bai Shu with a knife in both hands.

Seeing this chaotic knife, Bai Shu flicked the flying sword with his right hand, and easily pierced the warrior's throat.

"Um...ah!"

The warrior covered his throat with his hands, trying to stop the spurting blood, but it was in vain, and soon lay motionless on the ground.

Killing this warrior didn't bring any psychological shock to Bai Shu, he didn't even stop, he still approached these warriors expressionlessly.

Pfft!
Suddenly, a warrior threw away his weapon, fell to his knees, kowtowed to Baizhu, and cried bitterly, begging for mercy.

Seeing this scene, Bai Shu's footsteps suddenly stopped, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Seeing that the surrender was effective, the rest of the samurai immediately learned and learned, throwing away their weapons and kowtowed at Bai Shu.

But the next moment, just when they thought Bai Shu would spare them, they saw Bai Shu sighed lightly, and lightly tossed the sword in his hand, and then, the sword hovered in the air so strangely.

"This……"

Seeing this scene that completely violated common sense, the warriors forgot to kowtow, and looked at Bai Shu like gods.

But before they could think of any flattering words to praise Bai Shu, they saw the sword suddenly shining with dazzling brilliance, as if a horse of color was sweeping towards them.

Then, their consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

"Sigh, my heart doesn't seem to be cruel enough, I even hesitated just now."

Recalling the flying sword in his hand, Bai Shu shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

When the warrior kowtowed to beg for mercy just now, Bai Shu paused because he heard the warrior say that he still has a wife and child waiting for him at home, and he wanted to beg Bai Shu to spare his life.

"At that moment, I actually felt compassion for this kind of scum. I really shouldn't."

Bai Shu secretly self-criticized.

"Woooooooo..."

At this moment, a whimper sounded into Bai Zhu's ears.

Bai Shu was startled, and only then remembered that there were several Han women on board.
