Chapter 12 The day of decisive battle

Nine days, fleeting.

Zheng Zhi had been in "hell" and had a "bloody battle" with the skeleton of the Sword King for nine days.

In these nine days, Zheng Zhi's swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds.

Fighting is always the best way to train people.

Although this kind of sparring is a bit cruel for a young man under twenty...

Of course, he never won a single battle with the Sword King's Skeleton.

But as his swordsmanship improved, his defeat was not so miserable.

"It's a pity that I still can't use the sword to seal the sky."

Zheng Zhi sat on the ground refining the Sword King's bone marrow, his face full of bitterness.

Zheng Zhi's body was golden in color, with a halo blooming.

After nine days of cutting off his hair and cleansing his marrow, his body had gradually adapted to this violent force.

Coupled with the continuous transformation of the physical body, absorbing the Sword King's bone marrow is no longer as painful as before.

"You still have one day."

Beside, the mysterious woman reminded softly.

"I see."

Zheng Zhi nodded and clenched his fists.

During the nine-day bloody battle, it was not that he had never tried, but every time he tried, he ended in failure.

He always felt that he was missing something, but he could never figure out what it was.

The mysterious woman just waited and watched without warning.

After refining the power of the Sword King's bone marrow, Zheng Zhi picked up the sword again and stared at the Sword King's skeleton with his sword-like eyes: "Sister, continue!"

"Don't you want to take a break?"

The mysterious woman asked with a smile.

"time does not wait."

Zheng Zhi's whole body was filled with sword energy.

The mysterious woman smiled and said nothing, flicking her jade fingers.

The skeleton of the Sword King, who was standing still, moved slightly, and his figure flew out like lightning.

Before Zheng Zhi came to his senses, the tip of the rusty long sword was only a centimeter away from his chest.

"call out!"

The rusty sword in the Sword King's skeleton hand hit Zheng Zhi and passed through his chest, but no blood was seen.

Afterimage?

The sword failed!

After nine days of training, Zheng Zhi not only improved his swordsmanship rapidly, but his combat experience, speed, and reflexes were also much better than before.

After one blow failed, the Sword King's skeleton froze.

And the moment he stamped his feet, a little red light appeared behind him.

The Judgment Sword cuts through the air and kills, and Zheng Zhi's figure appears.

The sword was so powerful that it seemed like it was going to chop off the sword king's head.

However, just when the sword of judgment was about to fall on the neck of the Sword King's skeleton, the Sword King struck out with a sword.

"clang!"

The battles intertwine and sparks fly.

Zheng Zhi retreated wildly, his face ugly.

Because the sword he was determined to win was once again defused by the Sword King.

This sword king not only has a fierce offense, but his defense is also almost impeccable.

For a moment, Zheng Zhi felt helpless in his heart.

"call out!"

The sword king drew his sword again, with the power of a tiger.

But this time, Zheng Zhi did not hide again.

He stood there and slowly closed his eyes.

He looked like he was waiting to die, and he seemed to be comprehending something.

The sword in his hand trembled slightly, and the dark red light flickered.

"What exactly is missing?"

In Zheng Zhi's mind, he kept recalling the whole process of each time he used "Sealing the Sky with One Sword", capturing every detail.

Including, every word of the mysterious woman.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "I know."

"It's murderous!"

Zheng Zhi suddenly understood, just like seeing a bright light in a dark night, he suddenly became enlightened.

The mysterious woman said that the skeleton of the Sword King in front of her was both an enemy and a teacher.

And since they are enemies, they must be murderous.

Besides, can a sword skill without killing intent still be considered a sword skill?

"Do you understand?"

Not far away, the mysterious woman saw this scene and smiled: "Not too stupid."

After thinking about it, Zheng Zhi looked at the Sword King again, his eyes were slightly different.

His eyes were as cold as a knife, the sword in his hand was raised high above his head, and a low voice came out from between his teeth.

"One sword... sealing the sky!"

The cold air burst out of the body.

Ten meters away from where you stood, it instantly froze into ice, and the cold air formed a hurricane in the air. In the wind, there were sword auras that cut through iron like mud.

"boom!"

Two sword lights collided in the air.

This time, the Sword King's sword energy was no longer invincible.

But after a stalemate for a while, it collapsed like a phantom.

The sword power of "Sealing the Heaven with One Sword" falls on the Sword King.

The Sword King's skeleton retreated a hundred meters, but it did not fall apart.

However, the light around him has dimmed a lot, and a sword mark visible to the naked eye appears on the skeleton...

"So powerful."

Zheng Zhi's pupils shrank.

Even though this sword only left a single sword mark on the Sword King's body, only those who have experienced it personally know how hard the bones of the Sword King's bones are.

Zheng Zhi sheathed his sword and looked towards the dark red sky. A young figure flashed in his mind, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"Zheng Chen, I'm here, are you ready?"

…

Zaocheng, Zaozhuang Square!

The sun is scorching like fire.

Today's square is packed with people, and the dense flow of people is breathtaking.

The largest square in Zaocheng has not been so lively for a long time.

The three family heads, Liu De, Zhang San, and Guan Kun, arrived at the scene early.

They were paying close attention to the life-and-death battle between the two geniuses.

Murong Xue also came.

She was sitting on the stand, her beautiful face as cold as ice, her beautiful eyes looking at the empty arena in the center of the square, wondering what to think.

Not long after, Zheng Xuantong and Zheng Chen also appeared in the square, accompanied by a group of elders from the Zheng family.
