Gu Qingshan stepped out of the barrier and looked behind him.

"...The power of the holy pillar on me has been growing. It is naturally no problem to resist the attacks of these Asuras."

"But other sword cultivators will be injured."

"In this case, I must also look for those powerful attacks that exceed expectations before I can further study the blocking method-"

"Walk!"

His body turned into a ray of lightning and rushed into the sky in an instant, not knowing where to go.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Somewhere deep in the white clouds.

A small island built on the clouds.

While drinking tea, Turtle Saint said with interest:

"You want to try to resist my attack?"

"Yes, I think sword cultivators are not only attacking, but also ensuring their survival rate on the battlefield." Gu Qingshan said.

"Then why not learn the art of starting and ending from me?"

The Turtle Saint said, and took out a turtle shell from behind, and continued to stroke it reluctantly:

"You enter this turtle shell. I promise that as you become closer to it, your defense will be greatly improved. Then you put on a piece of armor outside - you won't die!"

Gu Qingshan looked at the turtle shell.

If I agree, all the sword cultivators will fight with their turtle shells on their backs...

The picture is so beautiful that I dare not watch it.

I'm afraid no one will be a sword cultivator anymore!

Gu Qingshan reluctantly smiled and said, "I have understood the kindness of senior, but my swordsmanship will be passed on to all those who practice swordsmanship in the world in the future. They may not be able to obtain the senior's tortoise shell."

When Turtle Saint thought about this, he couldn't help but sighed regretfully:

"Well, you want me to attack you so that you can hone your way of resisting, right?"

"right."

boom----

Gu Qingshan turned into a afterimage and was directly bombarded with clouds, flying without a trace like a cannonball.

Turtle Saint retracted his fist and sighed: "This is not as simple as creating the Sword Art, but creating a path."

"I know."

Gu Qingshan's voice sounded.

Layers of sword lights appeared on him and gently fell in front of the Turtle Saint.

Turtle Saint looked at him in surprise and said, "Did you block it? That wouldn't be so fast--"

The voice of the Turtle Saint suddenly stopped.

It looked at Gu Qingshan quietly, and its eyes gradually became more complicated.

"Senior, come again." Gu Qingshan smiled.

"So that's what... I've done this and I really underestimated you."

Turtle Saint's expression became serious, and he clenched his fists again-

In an instant.

Tens of thousands of fist shadows were superimposed and they were completely smashed at Gu Qingshan.

A sound of bursting through the air was heard.

Gu Qingshan was knocked out again and disappeared into the sky.

But a sword light flashed.

He appeared in front of the Turtle Saint again, his body covered in blood.

However, he seemed to be unaware of it and said thoughtfully: "The strength of the sword technique is enough, but my reaction in an instant could not keep up, so about 20% of the attacks were not blocked."

Gui Sheng stared at him in a daze and said for a long time: "Doesn't it hurt like this?"

Gu Qingshan came back to his senses, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, senior, I want to adjust the sword technique again. When I figure it out, I will ask you for advice."

"Go, come and find me anytime." Turtle Sheng said.

Gu Qingshan turned into a sword light and disappeared in an instant.

Turtle Saint stood in the clouds and remained motionless for a long time.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind:

"What's wrong with you?"

A figure appeared.

King Asura!

The Turtle Saint did not look back, but just asked, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that Gu Qingshan is looking for you to have a chance to have a look. Who knows that you are only standing here stupidly." King Asura said boredly.

"It's over." Turtle Holy Tale.

"I've finished fighting? What's going on with his path?" King Asura asked immediately with interest.

The Turtle Saint was silent for a moment and spit out two words:

"Non-human."

"Not human?" King Asura said unexpectedly, "I heard those subordinates discussing, saying that he was auditioning for escape in the wilderness, and almost no one could stop him - did my subordinates misread it?"

"Hmph, it was only after I saw it myself that I knew what kind of path he had chosen." Turtle Holy said.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly." Asura's kingly way.

"In the battlefield against dual skills, those who believed in him had healed their injuries - you know this."

"I know that he is the earth god and can heal quickly."

"He—ah," Turtle Saint seemed to have no idea what to say, but at the end he said: "He is filled with infinite sword lights, and these sword lights are destroying his body at all times."

"He is crazy, isn't he willing to bear the pain of wiping through ten thousand swords?" Asura said kingly.

"This is not the end. He also tried to use these countless sword lights to resist the attacks from outside." Turtle Saint said.

"I understand... because he is the earth god, he can be penetrated by the ten thousand swords while recovering, and he can survive." King Asura said with a complicated expression.

"Yes, he is looking for that balance - how can he turn himself into a sword light without having to be killed by countless tiny sword lights - he is using his body to feel that pain every moment and then adjust." Turtle Saint said.

King Asura whispered: "No wonder he is unmatched and can withstand all attacks... because he is a sword himself, the sharpness of the sword."

Neither of them spoke.

for a long time.

King Asura sighed and said, "This is really taking his life to breeze a way for the sword cultivators."

"——And only as the earth god can make such an attempt. Anyone else will immediately be killed by the sword light filled with his whole body." The Turtle Saint added.

...

By the river.

Gu Qingshan walked in step by step.

He stood in the stream, closed his eyes, and whispered: "If you want to achieve balance, you have to keep adjusting. If you suddenly encounter an attack like the Turtle Saint... you need to build a stronger sword formation in your body--"

Sword lights as thin as hair appeared on him.

These sword lights emitted a sharp and dazzling light, shuttled and crossed back and forth in the void, forming countless tiny sword formations, and then sank into Gu Qingshan's body.

Silently, the stream water dyed a blood-red color.

Suddenly, Gu Qingshan frowned and said, "Oops."

Bang-

His entire back cracked and a blood mist rushed out.

The next moment, all the surrounding mountains, rocks, trees and grass were instantly wiped into flat ground.

The irrepressible sword energy dissipated from behind him, soared into the sky, turning into a surging wind, blowing away all the clouds above the sky.

The sky is clear and the sky is as clear as a blue sky.

The sun shone on Gu Qingshan's face, and wisps of blood could faintly seep out of his pores.

"It seems like I need to adjust it."

Gu Qingshan sighed, silently controlled the sword lights, and took them back into his body step by step.
