Chapter 49: Sixteen Transformation Swordplay

[Sixteen Transformation Swordplay]

Created by an unknown person during the Spring and Autumn Period, it initially has seven moves.

But by modifying some of its moves, relying on the seven transformation of the attack, the swordplay become enhanced and even more lethal. Each of the strikes held inside it transformation from heavy to light, from light to fierce, from fierce to gentle. Disrupt the orders of these changes and transform the attack.

This swordplay did not lack trickery and unpredictable moves.

Its powerful impact is not sacrificed as the sword still have to remain straight and unbending. This swordplay is very useful and suitable for the use of heavy sword

When the sword pointed to the sky, the spirit will soar. When the sword pointed to the ground, then one would stand tall like a mountain.

Four direction is all in reach, and no one could come without suffering loss. The center determines the four direction, the four direction spread out and the attack could bloom. This could be counted as one of the balanced swordplay, with variations that is sufficient and a power that is very useful in stunning the enemy and break one defenses.

It has sixteen moves derived from the seven moves

[Western Sword Reaches the Sky and Western Sword Pointed to the Ground]

[Southern Sword Pointed to the Heavens and Southern Sword Reaches the Earth]

[Eastern Sword Cut the Stars and Eastern Sword Cut the Moon]

[Northern Sword Cut the Moon and Northern Sword Cut the Stars

[Heart Sword Slay the Demon and Heart Sword Slay the immortal]

[Mind Sword Slay the Immortal and Mind Sword Slay the Demon]

[Spirit Sword s***h the Heavens and Spirit Sword s***h the Netherworld]

[ Sword Ascend to Heaven and Sword Descend to the Netherworld]

Like the explanations state, the Sixteen Transformation Swordplay derived its moves from the Seven Transformation Swordplay.

Li Xian then tap the EXP and then he once again is in that dreamland.

But since he had found a great way to practice, he is both at the dreamland and remains conscious of what is happening around him. He unsheathes his sword

He smiles a bit and then point straight, and a terrible surge of force was unleashed.

The grass around his feet sways left and right and the air around him distorted like there is a terrible heat coming out from his sword.

The seven moves before were simple but lethal. Now, Li Xian is excited to know the difference between the Sixteen Transformation Swordplay and the previous Seven Transformation Swordplay

He takes a deep breath and then he lifted his sword.

He lifted it gently, but there is a heavy force coming out from his sword, the dry leaves on the ground were lifted off.

He executes Wester Sword Reaches the Sky. This time it is the same move but the feeling was different. When he lifts it was slight but in the middle it turns heavy.

The energy is concentrated on the tip of the sword and then he brings down the sword, Western Sword Pointed to the Ground.

The energy from the tip was unleashed. The downward movement was heavy but the force was gentle. The ground did not explode at all nor is there are cut or gashes on the ground.

But the grass was cut cleanly and precisely.

Smiling Li Xian takes a step and then pointed forward.

This time the Southern Sword Pointed to the Heavens.

The energy is concentrated on the edges of the sword and there is only a slight energy at the tip. It is a move that meant to confuse, to stun the enemy.

Then he stabs to the ground, executing the Southern Sword Reaches the Earth. The ground now has a deep gash.

The tip of the sword enters the ground like a knife cutting butter.

He pulls the sword, and the ground seems to lose its stability as the soil around him depressed a few inches.

He then thrust, cut, s***h utilizing all the sixteen moves. He did not follow any orders in his attack.

Sometimes he performs the Western Sword, other times he performs the Southern Sword.

In his mind, the order of the moves is not as important as deflecting the enemy attack. He did not need to purposefully link the moves, as the moves link naturally as long as did not lose his rhythm

The swordplay is like a dance, each state representing a certain emotion. Heavy, sadness. Light, happiness. Fierce, angry and gentle, calm.

These kind of swordplay attack seem to also affect emotions.

The deeper one become focused the easier one to be affected.

This kind of swordplay that seems to resonate deeply with the human heart shows that the potential of this swordplay is endless.

He closes his eyes and keep swinging his sword, stabbing, thrusting, but not once there is any stepping back.

The swordsmanship essence is brave and valiant, never giving an inch, only giving an inch if you are dead and Li Xian is embodying that essence right now.

In his mind right now, there is shadows warriors attacking him.

In the state of extreme concentration, he uses all the sixteen transformation.

The sixteen moves turn into sixteen transformation of attack that alternated from heavy to gentle, gentle to fierce, fierce to light and the order changes each time the strikes was executed.

The swordplay now has some balance into it and tricks into it. It could not be considered a trick. It is transformation of moves in the middle of executing moves.

A sword that seems heavy but light when encountered, a strike that look light but heavy when clashing, this kind of shifting of force, from the tip of the sword, to the edges of sword, from full to empty, from empty to full, unless one is a martial artist that is proficient in internal energy and bale to read all the changes, this kind of swordsmanship could only be broken by an even more complicated swordsmanship or powerful internal energy technique or swordplay.

He cut all around his four direction, when he thrust forward it is full of energy and full of the attitude of never backing down and never giving up

Smiling and almost laughing, Li Xian joyfully fought against the shadow warriors in his mind.

His sword glare flashes by and the sound of sword echoes in the yard.

Xu Wen who was in his room was woken up suddenly inside the hut because of the noise of the sword and the sound of the wind being teared apart.

He got up from his bed fearing an attack.

He then looks through the cracks of the wood and then saw Li Xian on the yard leaping up in the air, swinging and slashing his sword and he released a relieved breath

He looks at it for a while to make sure that Li Xian is not fighting some intruders and after making sure there is nothing he went back to his bed to resume his sleep.

Li Xian had already told them that he would usually train his sword at night so they should not be shocked if they heard the sodden of him practicing and Xu Wane knew he had no right to complain

Xu Wen is quite incredible. He did not talk too much this time since he finally saw the dark side of the martial arts world.

He also knows his place.

Even if Li Xian beat a drum in front of the hut, no one could complain since this place is his.

The fact that Li Xian had share his hut with them is an act that they should be grateful enough.

Even though he did not learn martial arts like Li Xian, Xu Wen was taught manners by his teacher and as such he knew to be grateful for what had been given to him.

He is humble, amiable and gentle of nature, suitable to become a physician that save people lives.

Xu Wen only felt a bit jealousy at Li Xian because of his ability of using the sword.

Bai Pingting was enchanted by Li Xian swordsmanship.

But as for Xu Wen he was envious. He is also a man and he also yearn to become a martial artist but his family died early and he had always learned medicine from his master.

He did not regret choosing the path of medicine. But that does not mean he did not feel envious. He is still not too later to pick up sword and join the martial art school.

As he lay his head on the bed he smiles and shake his head

‘I am content’ he said to himself as he put his head down the wooden pillow and close his eyes and went to sleep

Xu Wen went back to sleep as Li Xian finally finished gaining some experience of using the Sixteen Transformation.

‘I am satisfied. This swordplay is even more complex than before and have many more variations’
