Chapter 42
Lü Buwei, I have prepared a sword for you!
"Yes, young master!"
Zhou Zhiruo ran over and took the umbrella made of eighteen knives.
"If there is a chance, replace all eighteen swords with famous swords, and the power of the Eighteen Swords Formation will be even greater."
Speaking of famous swords, Ying Changqing was reminded of Han Fei's Heart's Reverse Scale.
After returning to the Confucian school, Han Fei will definitely bid farewell to Xunzi and then return to the state of Han.
He will soon bring good news.
The carriage continued its journey towards Mount Li.
Yan Fei, feeling guilty, leaned against Ying Changqing's chest.
Ying Changqing gently patted Yan Fei's back with one hand, while using the other to unfold the Eighteen Sword Formation manual that Su Muyu had given him and study it carefully.
When he first studied the Eighteen Swords Formation, he immediately understood its profound meaning.
Sword formations are completely different from ordinary sword techniques.
Although both use swords, sword formations place greater emphasis on utilizing the power of heaven and earth.
By combining multiple swords in specific positions to form a grand formation, one can unleash power far exceeding that of the user.
In other words, a sword cultivator who can use sword formations has a much stronger attack power than a sword cultivator who fights alone.
For example, the most famous Zhuxian Sword Formation.
The Tongtian Sect Leader used this sword formation, and only four saints could break it; no one could compare to him.
The ancient sword formation was incredibly powerful.
The three thousand Great Daos are essentially the same, proving the power of the sword formation.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang from Guiguzi are examples.
Wei Zhuang wields a horizontal sword, is skilled in strategy, and pursues self-interest; this is the essence of "捭" (bai).
Gai Nie wields a vertical sword, excelling in offensive maneuvers and pursuing practical results; this is the essence of "closing" (合).
The art of opening and closing is the fundamental principle governing the workings of Heaven and Earth.
The two were only at the mid to late stage of the Land Immortal Realm.
But when they joined forces, one used the Hundred-Step Flying Sword, and the other used the Horizontal Sweep Sword.
When combined, their combat power can reach the peak of the terrestrial immortal realm.
Of course, there are always exceptions.
A very small number of genius swordsmen in the world can break through an enemy formation with a single sword, but such people are few and far between.
"If all eighteen swords are famous swords, and the sword momentum is superimposed using the 'stop' technique, the power of the sword formation will be multiplied."
"The light and power of the sword formation will be absolutely astonishing at that time."
The thought that this could be achieved ignited a burning desire in Ying Changqing's eyes.
The power of this sword formation will surely surpass that of the True Dragon Treasure Technique, becoming his invincible ultimate trump card, unique in its own right.
But this is just wishful thinking now; the road ahead is difficult and the task is arduous.
Firstly, although the secret technique is powerful, it is not a famous sword and cannot withstand the violent power of more than ten stacked sword strikes.
Ying Changqing only possessed one famous sword, Qiu Li.
While deep in thought, he used his internal force to pulverize the Eighteen Swords Formation manual into powder.
Then, close your eyes with anticipation and enter a state of enlightenment.
When Nangong Pushe saw this scene, even though she had heard Yanfei say how outstanding Ying Changqing's talent was, her eyes were still filled with surprise.
A sudden enlightenment is a tremendous opportunity that ordinary people dare not even imagine!
Such extraordinary fortune was so easily obtained by Ying Changqing, which shocked and envied her.
When Zhou Zhiruo saw this scene for the first time, she was so surprised that her mouth dropped open.
"Young Master Ying Changqing, this is the state of sudden enlightenment!"
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo's stunned expression, Nangong Pushe immediately understood the reactions Yanfei and Jingni had when they saw him that day.
"That's right, young master has extremely high talent and often enters a state of enlightenment. You'll get used to it in the future."
After Nangong Pushe finished speaking, he exchanged a smile with Yanfei and Jingni, and then the three of them looked at the stunned Zhou Zhiruo with smiles on their faces.
"My master once said that Zhang Zhenren of our Yuanzhou Wudang Sect once stared at the tortoise and snake mountains in front of the Zhenwu statue and then had an epiphany."
"In that moment of enlightenment, he created the peerless martial art—the True Martial Seven-Section Formation."
"When Master talked about Zhang Zhenren's sudden enlightenment, his eyes were full of envy. He also said that the state of sudden enlightenment can only be experienced once, and the future achievements will be limitless."
"Your Highness was able to enter this realm so easily; your skill level far surpasses that of ordinary people!"
Zhou Zhiruo gripped the umbrella handle tightly in shock, her fingers digging into it.
She looked at Ying Changqing with admiration and pride in her eyes, glad she had made that decision.
"Agreeing to become Ying Changqing's maid was the right choice."
"The prince is indeed no ordinary person."
Frost instantly froze on the inner wall of the carriage, and the air became icy cold.
Ying Changqing unleashed a pure killing intent, as chilling as the polar wind.
All living things within a one-mile radius were affected.
The warhorses pulling the carts and the animals in the forest all collapsed and knelt on the ground.
The birds in the sky also lost their strength and fell silently from the sky.
The four women immediately showed expressions of horror.
"It's summer, but it's as cold as winter, making you feel chilled all over."
"What kind of cultivation technique has the young master practiced to unleash such a powerful killing intent that it affects everything around him?"
After a while, Ying Changqing opened his eyes, and his killing intent slowly disappeared.
"The star of punishment and killing, also the lonely star of success and failure, governs death and death in the numerology, and is in charge of power and life and death."
"You have mastered the Eighteen Sword Formations of the Killing Sword Manual, and have independently comprehended the laws of Heaven: Sword Formation—A Flower Blooms in a Single Thought!"
"With a single thought, a flower blooms, and the world is at peace; with another thought, the flower withers, and the galaxy crumbles!"
The name of the sword formation is "A Flower Blooms in a Single Thought".
Ying Changqing only needed a single thought to unleash this sword formation.
Moreover, this is the only move!
When Ying Changqing had his moment of enlightenment, he decisively abandoned all the complex sword formation changes and mysterious effects.
This resulted in the One Thought Flower Sword Formation having no defensive capabilities whatsoever.
But it retained the purest and most lethal sword strike!
Even Ying Changqing, the creator, did not know just how powerful this sword was.
But he was certain that the One Thought Flower Blooming Sword Formation had surpassed all the spells he had ever learned, including even the True Dragon Treasure Technique!
At the same time, although the One Thought Sword Formation originated from the Eighteen Sword Formations, its conditions for execution are completely different.
The Eighteen Swords Formation requires eighteen specially made swords; one less or one more will not work.
The power of the One Thought Sword Formation increases as the number of flying swords controlled by Ying Changqing increases.
Although its increase is not as significant as the doubling of power per sword strike as the Nineteen Stops technique, the improvement is still remarkable.
"We must pay attention to famous swords from now on."
"Swords made of ordinary materials cannot withstand the powerful force of the One Thought Sword Formation; they will shatter upon activation."
Ying Changqing took out Zhou Zhiruo's Qiuli Sword, his fingers tracing the blade with focused concentration.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, you have made another breakthrough."
Hearing the four women's congratulations, Ying Changqing recalled the power of the sword formation he had just comprehended and smiled.
"This time, we owe it all to Lü Buwei."
"I'm saving this sword strike for him today."
"In the future, I want him to experience firsthand just how powerful the Deadly Sword technique I learned from the Dark River assassins truly is!"
As Ying Changqing spoke, Ying Zheng's age flashed through his mind.
Ying Zheng will travel to South Korea within a few months and begin ruling in his own right upon his return.
After Ying Zheng assumed power, with the authority of the King of Qin, Lü Buwei was doomed.
This matter must be carefully planned.
The Luo Wang organization is more powerful than it appears, and it even has figures like Zhao Gao under its command.
As Ying Changqing pondered, Yan Fei, Jing Ni, and the others' eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Their hearts were all tied to Ying Changqing.
After Ying Changqing was assassinated, they hated Lü Buwei to the core.
The atmosphere inside the carriage was somber.
Ying Changqing recalled the legendary doctor Bai Hehuai that Su Muyu had mentioned.
Medical techniques were backward in this era, and various conservative factions were unwilling to spread them.
He wanted to use Bai Hehuai's medical skills to write a book and promote the medical skills to the whole world.
This move could increase the average lifespan of ordinary people and the survival rate of newborns.
At the same time, it enhances the country's strength, which is a very meaningful thing.
Ying Changqing thought this was feasible because his ambitions were not limited to one state or one country.
"But writing a book is no small matter; it cannot be accomplished by Bai Hejun alone."
"I must find an opportunity to make the Jinghu Medical School, one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, submit to the Qin Dynasty and serve me."
"The head of the medical school is Nian Duan, Duanmu Rong."
"Hmm, not bad, both beautiful and capable!"
