Becoming an indescribable god after failing to ring in the new year.

Chapter 51 Sword-Stealing Technique

The timeline remained the same, but when it came to dealing with Zhang Lifeng, Lu Shi began to adapt to the battle.

Practice makes perfect.

During actual combat, Lu Shi's combat capabilities improved rapidly.

From a beginner who had little actual combat experience and had only undergone a few months of combat training, Lu Shi quickly mastered decent swordsmanship and rapidly combined it with his own metaphysical ability, [Blood Calamity], gradually forming the prototype of a combat style.

In the past, a coin was tossed into the air.

The flow of time continues!

After experiencing a simulated terror, Gao Mi was manipulated on Da Dong Street, and he was secretly persuaded to surrender during interrogation. Wenming Road was attacked by 2256.

Lu Shi once again parked his car opposite Zhang Lifeng.

He looked up at the sky, and at that moment he could feel a faint sense of erosion spreading.

"This is the first time I've reopened so many times on the same day!" Lu Shi thought to himself, a deep sense of oppression growing stronger within him.

"We're almost at our limit." At this point, Lu Shi had tested the limits of the "New Year's Eve failure."

The ability to be a Sunday without God is simply a return to Monday; it is fixed on the script of the week.

During this week, Lu Shi's ability to respawn at midnight every day will still be available.

Basic abilities and Sundays without God do not interfere with each other, but basic abilities are still affected by the week's script.

As this day is repeatedly reopened, although the cost remains the same—one time coin—the erosion continues to spread.

This wasn't caused by a dead save file. Normally, if things continue like this, Lu Shi could complete the game even just by memorizing the puzzles.

This is simply the result of excessive erosion caused by repeated reopenings.

This is already the limit. If it is opened several more times, the corrosive force will overflow from the past, and the entire city of Chang will feel that terrifying corrosive force.

Under those circumstances, Lu Shi vaguely sensed that something rather terrifying was about to happen.

Either it causes real-world problems and leads to real-world pressures.

Alternatively, they could create an erosion zone.

Or it could be something even more terrifying.

In short, those were things Lu Shi didn't want to see.

Fortunately, Lu Shi had already found the route through the checkpoint.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Shi walked towards Zhang Lifeng.

Zhang Lifeng first tested the waters with a sword.

Lu Shi did not change his pace toward Zhang Lifeng; he simply turned his head slightly and dodged the sword.

He then turned his body to the side and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

The sword trembled incessantly, but Lu Shi's hand remained still.

Level three metaphysical abilities allow weapons to move autonomously, but the force is actually about the same as that of a normal person wielding a weapon.

Lu Shi continued walking forward, holding the sword behind him. The sword trembled constantly, making it seem as if Lu Shi was performing some kind of secret sword technique.

"Surely you won't even give me a sword?" Lu Shi asked.

At the question, the sword in his hand stopped trembling and was pulled from behind to the front by Lu Shi.

Lu Shi then stopped and stood five meters away from Zhang Lifeng.

Zhang Lifeng looked at Lu Shi with a serious expression. With a wave of his hand, a sword appeared in his hand, while his left hand formed a sword finger shape. One after another, swords and knives flew up from the trunk of the car and floated behind him.

After testing the waters, Zhang Lifeng had confirmed that Lu Shi was no easy opponent.

The opponent's sensitivity to swords has reached an extremely high level.

That kind of precise control over distance is an instinctive intuition that a master swordsman can only acquire after training hundreds or thousands of times.

Since that's the case, and the other party wants a sword, then Zhang Lifeng will give them a sword.

Zhang Lifeng possesses a deep-seated pride.

His swordsmanship, his martial prowess, his achievements.

Even after embarking on a path of no return, he still did not relinquish this pride.

To be able to duel with a sword master at the end of one's life is a kind of good fortune.

Lu Shi knew perfectly well that he had Zhang Lifeng's mindset in mind at this moment.

The other party had a combination of pride and a "what's the use" mentality. He thought that as long as he could gain the other party's approval in swordsmanship, Zhang Lifeng might actually help him.

Without any pause or hesitation, the sword was swung.

He deflected the flying swords, then shifted his body, swinging his sword rapidly, each swing seemingly anticipated, blocking the incoming blades and even anticipating their movements.

Lu Shi wielded a sword so skillfully that the rain couldn't penetrate it, and he held off multiple opponents with equal force.

At this moment, Zhang Lifeng only needed to influence Lu Shi's sword with the ability of weapon anomalies, and Lu Shi would inevitably lose.

But... he disdained to do it!

Just as Gao Mi trusted him, he could use Gao Mi as a sacrifice at any time, and Gao Mi's personality might even lead him to offer his neck for slaughter.

But Zhang Lifeng disdained to do it.

Just like now, Zhang Lifeng almost didn't even want to use his weapon anymore, only wanting to fight Lu Shi with the sword in his hand.

The long-lost passion surged through the weapons hidden within his body, exciting Zhang Lifeng.

Despite his advanced age, he used weapon-related manipulations to control the cold weapons within his body, allowing him to regain his agility.

The sword in his hand thrust towards Lu Shi.

Faced with this attack, Lu Shi seemed to sense the danger instantly, and with a flick of his sword, he intercepted it.

At this moment, the world before Lu Shi's eyes seemed to have become a blurry and abstract state, and his spiritual perception of the source of danger was transformed into vision.

The surrounding swords and Zhang Lifeng opposite him have become abstract dots and lines.

When that one point lights up, it means danger is approaching.

At this point, simply using the appropriate sword techniques to counter is sufficient.

At this point, sword duels have become a relatively unconventional form of rhythm game.

The opponent's swordsmanship has its own rhythm and variations, using the sense of danger as a warning.

Intercept and repel it the moment danger arrives.

This is the practical combat style of sword fighting that Lu Shi developed through repeated battles – the Robbery Sword Technique!

With a slight modification, it can be transformed from a swordsmanship technique into a fighting style, specifically a grappling technique.

Lu Shi's fighting and weapon skills are, in the end, only average.

This swordsmanship caught Zhang Lifeng's eye. The sword in his hand seemed to have transformed into a poisonous dragon, each strike aimed at the weak point of the landing from the most tricky angle.

The swords and blades around him that had been moving automatically now seemed to have become much slower.

They basically only played a supporting role; the main attacks were all carried out by Zhang Lifeng himself.

In this sword duel...

In the steel plant not far away, Zhou Jianye's eyes, though gaunt, grew brighter and brighter.
