Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman-Chapter 399 - 398, Defeating the All-encompassing Skill_1

Chapter 399: Chapter 398, Defeating the All-encompassing Skill_1
Jiang Chen said, "Good."
With a Thin Sword in his hand, Jiang Chen slashed at the air three times. "Three moves are up, your turn! I’ve heard you’re ranked fifth among the younger generation of experts. I’d very much like to see for myself."
Zhang Mozhi moved in an instant, his body transforming into afterimages as he dashed towards Jiang Chen, his speed so fast he seemed like a ghostly apparition.
Jiang Chen quickly retreated, shock evident in his heart.
Just then, as Zhang Mozhi ran, he suddenly split into three afterimages.
What the hell? A clone technique? No, this isn’t a clone technique. It’s an optical illusion created by reaching extreme speeds. Only one figure is real, not three separate afterimages.
"What’s going on? Why are there three people?"
"Those aren’t three people. Those are the afterimages of the All-encompassing Skill, incredibly fast. To the naked eye, there seem to be three afterimages, but only one figure is real."
"How can you tell them apart?"
"When facing someone who has mastered the All-encompassing Skill, there’s no choice but to confront all three afterimages."
"I wonder how the unbeatable Dong Fang Unbeaten deals with this?"
At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the three afterimages and suddenly smiled.
Using a clone technique in front of me? Doesn’t he know my Perception is strong? Mere illusions can’t fool me!
Jiang Chen stabbed at the afterimage to his left.
The strike directly pierced through it.
Not this one?
Jiang Chen was filled with confusion.
An afterimage on the right swung a palm towards Jiang Chen. He thrust his sword, piercing through its chest.
Not this one either? Could the middle one be the real one...
Jiang Chen lunged with his sword towards the middle afterimage, once again piercing through its chest.
Uh... None of the three? Could my Perception be wrong?
Nangong Shuang looked puzzled. "Grandfather, what is going on? Why aren’t any of the three afterimages the real one?"
Nangong Xin laughed. "Real and fake, fake and real—that is the transformation of the All-encompassing Skill. It shifts between illusion and reality. What you perceive as real is actually false, and what you perceive as false is, in fact, real."
"What’s real, what’s fake? Now I’m confused."
"Haha... In fact, all three afterimages are fake, yet all three are also real. The All-encompassing Skill allows the user to instantly shift their true body from one afterimage’s position to another, much like a Magician’s Teleport."
"Then how do you break it?"
"Why not attack all three afterimages at the same time?"
The others all looked at Nangong Xin.
Who is this old man? Isn’t saying that just helping the unbeatable Dong Fang Unbeaten? Is he a Wanderer or a Hero?
Seeing them looking her way, Nangong Shuang fumed, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Gongnan turned his head to look at Nangong Xin, then whispered to Iron Fist, "Iron Fist, who is this man?"
Iron Fist shook his head. "I don’t know, but whoever can see the flaw must be an expert."
Lin Gongnan nodded.
To see the flaw at a glance, he must undeniably be an expert.
Jiang Chen retreated quickly. Enlightened by Nangong Xin’s hint, he understood something. It seemed to be an ability, a kind of Spatial stage, similar to Daitu’s ability.
In Jiang Chen’s Perception, he had clearly struck the true body. But then, it suddenly turned into an afterimage. This signified an instant transformation, shifting the true body from one afterimage’s position to another.
Thus, Jiang Chen’s attack had missed.
However, this afterimage didn’t cause any Spatial fluctuation, so Jiang Chen couldn’t perceive it.
But Jiang Chen could still sense which afterimage was real. Only the true body’s attack was genuinely effective. The rest were illusions.
If the attacks are ineffective, then why not attack all three afterimages at the same time?
Jiang Chen quickly retreated, all three afterimages rapidly pursuing. As he retreated, he unleashed Jianqi Zongheng.
A hundred Sword Auras whirled in the air, with a flash of white light. These Sword Auras launched attacks simultaneously, aiming at the three afterimages.
Two afterimages disappeared.
Zhang Mozhi’s right hand grasped the Sword Qi. With a squeeze, he forcibly shattered it.
Zhang Mozhi praised, "An impressive Skill. You actually broke my All-encompassing Afterimage. However, the All-encompassing Skill is not as simple as just afterimages."
Zhang Mozhi pushed out his hands, and a black Thin Sword condensed from True Qi shot out from them.
At Jiang Chen’s command, a hundred Sword Auras struck out swiftly. Jiang Chen’s Sword Auras quickly broke Zhang Mozhi’s Sword Qi. They also absorbed the black Energy from Zhang Mozhi’s All-encompassing Skill, turning his own Sword Auras black as well.
Zhang Mozhi’s brow furrowed tightly.
Absorbing my True Qi... it’s somewhat like a Martial Art similar to Huagong Dafa, absorbing all attacks.
Watching the hundred Sword Auras approach, Zhang Mozhi, unafraid in the face of danger, emitted a black gas from his body that wrapped around him like Armor.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!...
The Sword Qi struck the black Armor but did not pierce through it.
"What ability is this?"
"The All-encompassing Protective Shield. It uses powerful True Qi to form a strong defense within three inches of the body."
"Such strong defensive power!"
"That Hero is even more terrifying. You have to remember, Zhang Mozhi is already a Fourth-stage Expert, but that Hero is from a Third-stage Class."
"Don’t forget, the Hero has slain a Sixth-stage powerhouse before."
"That was just an ordinary martial artist."
Zhang Mozhi charged at Jiang Chen. "You cannot break my defense!"
"That might not be the case."
At Jiang Chen’s command, a hundred Sword Auras struck out swiftly, transforming into a long serpent aimed at Zhang Mozhi’s chest.
This guy’s whole body is a defense. Only a focused point attack has a chance to break through his All-encompassing Skill.
This action indeed halted Zhang Mozhi’s advance.
As expected, under the assault of a hundred Sword Auras, Zhang Mozhi stopped in his tracks. Feeling the immense Offensive Power, his brow furrowed even tighter. He dodged the Sword Qi rapidly. But no matter how he dodged, the Sword Qi struck the same spot.
Iron Fist said, "Zhang Mozhi is going to lose."
"Yes," Lin Gongnan agreed. "That Hero’s Perception is very strong. No matter how Zhang Mozhi dodges, it’s within his expectations. His most terrifying aspect isn’t his Sword Qi, but his Perception—no minute movement escapes his eyes."
Iron Fist nodded.
It isn’t the Offensive Power that’s formidable, but the Perception. The ability to foresee any movement and predict an enemy’s attack—that is what’s truly terrifying.
Just then, Zhang Mozhi retreated quickly. His True Qi was nearly depleted, so he simply said, "I lose."
Jiang Chen also retracted his Sword Qi.
"Even the fifth-ranked expert Zhang Mozhi is no match."
"Are the Swordsmen of the Continent of All-Gods this formidable?"
"This Class was created based on us Wanderers, yet it has actually surpassed us. It’s unbelievable."
"The unbeatable Dong Fang Unbeaten is indeed powerful. Who else dares to challenge him?"
"Aside from Sword Heart, I doubt anyone in the younger generation can match him."
"If he faces Sword Heart, he probably won’t even get the chance to draw his sword."
"I wonder if Sword Heart will come?"
Hearing these discussions, Jiang Chen mused,
The number one, Sword Heart? Is he really that incredible? My Sword Qi sweeps through all directions; a mere Sword Heart is no match for me!
He was also looking forward to it.
Iron Fist stepped forward and asked, "Do you need to rest?"
"Who are you?"
"Iron Fist."
"The third-ranked Iron Fist?"
"You might be at a disadvantage. Although I possess Fourth-stage True Qi, my True Qi is equivalent to that of a Sixth-stage Expert."
"Below the Sixth-stage, I am unbeaten."
"Good. Iron Fist Yannan, please enlighten me."
Iron Fist clenched his fists, a robust True Qi enveloping his body.
What Martial Art is this? The True Qi is completely different.
Jiang Chen pondered.
Jiang Chen cast Jianqi Zongheng, a hundred Sword Auras surrounding him. At that moment, the hundred Sword Auras rushed towards Iron Fist.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!...
