Yue Zifeng/Quotes

A cold-faced man with a sword on his back appeared in front of him. He reached a hand toward the hilt on his back. The sound of a sword coming out of its sheath was like a dragon cry. Sword-light flashed, one that could sever the river of stars, cover the nine heavens, slay devils and gods, and shake the cosmos.
== Offense vs defense ==
Zifeng walks a different path from us. Helping him would be harming him. He knows his own path much better than us, so there’s no need for us to worry about him.
Long Chen smiled. “Have you heard this saying in the secular world? The sword is a simple tool, with a three feet blade, half a foot hilt, and a sheath that covers its entire edge. Why is it that way?”
“When the sword is in motion, it represents its killing power. At that time, it has no need for defense. Its edge is something no one can block. Only when it is still can it be attacked. That’s the most dangerous time for it, which is why it has its sheath. Yue Zifeng is a sharp blade. He knows his strongest point is his offense, so he has abandoned his defense, making his offense unstoppable. As for defense, he has no need for it, because I, you, and every last Dragonblood warrior can be his sheath. Why would he need to waste his time on that?” explained Long Chen.
Meng Qi nodded. Yue Zifeng had sacrificed his defensive power to make his offensive power incomparably sharp. Within the same realm, all his enemies were killed with essentially one attack. In the Dragonblood Legion, he was second only to Long Chen in terms of offensive power.
“However, raising his soul and physical strength is only beneficial. He could focus that power on his offense as well, couldn’t he?” asked Meng Qi.
“It’s because Yue Zifeng is a sword cultivator. In his heart, there is only the sword, nothing else. That is his firm and fanatical conviction. He feels that as long as he comprehends the Sword Dao, he can one day arrive above the Heavenly Daos. In fact, I feel like he has achieved some kind of enlightenment, or his conviction wouldn’t be so strong.”
“What kind of enlightenment?”
“I’m not sure. But I would guess it has something to do with the legendary Sword God.”
Yue Zifeng had finally returned from the Heavenly Sword Gate, but his temperament had completely changed. There was a firm conviction in his eyes now that no one could shake. Perhaps Yue Zifeng should now be called a sword fool, a sword fanatic.
=== Example in battle ===
Yue Zifeng suddenly stepped forward. His sword came out of its sheath, and without even seeing his sword, people felt like the world had suddenly been cut in two.
The spatial channel exploded. A flash of light fell.
This sword came without any warning. It hadn’t had any fluctuations and had struck like lightning. Both friends and foes were stunned by this one attack.
Yue Zifeng’s sword slowly returned to his sheath. It was like a quiet dragon cry, and it sounded like two cries on top of each other.
“The sound of his sword coming out and going in came at practically the same time. Has his sword already broken the restrictions of time? Otherwise, how could such a thing happen?!” All the Empyreans present were completely shocked. This attack had been absolutely bizarre. If Yue Zifeng wanted to kill any of them, just how would they resist?
Such a terrifying speed and killing power didn’t allow others to react. They could only wait for their own death.
Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, and Liu Ruyan exchanged a look. Just as Long Chen had said, Yue Zifeng had abandoned defensive power to obtain the highest offensive might.
Such a sharp sword was practically impossible to block. This was using offense instead of defense.
