If we only consider attributes, there is no doubt that Kyochi Kuchiki surpasses Fang Li in every aspect.
Even Fang Li's only notable attribute, AGI (Agility), would likely be outmatched by Kyochi Kuchiki.
However, after the enhancement from the Slayer, Fang Li's speed was no longer inferior to Kyochi Kuchiki.
Thus, when the two first encountered each other, the dagger and the katana were simultaneously wielded, slicing through the air with astonishing speed, aiming to strike the other.
Immediately, they collided.
"Clang——!"
A crisp sound of impact immediately rang out.
Brilliant sparks burst forth at the point of collision.
In this situation, Kyochi Kuchiki gained the upper hand.
This genuine samurai, with his significantly higher STR (Strength) compared to Fang Li, easily deflected Fang Li's dagger.
Instantly, Fang Li felt a powerful force from the katana, numbing his palm and forcing him to retreat a few steps.
This momentary opening was clearly captured by Kyochi Kuchiki.
"Ha!" Kyochi Kuchiki let out a cold shout, took a step forward, tightened his body, and suddenly slashed his katana at the retreating Fang Li.
It was an extremely standard downward diagonal slash.
Moreover, its power was not to be underestimated.
The strong force caused the air around the blade to swirl violently, producing sharp whistling sounds.
If it hit, Fang Li would certainly be cut from his shoulder to the other side of his ribcage, creating a terrifying diagonal wound.
As mentioned earlier.
This time, Kyochi Kuchiki would not hold back.
Even if Fang Li raised his hand to block again, Kyochi Kuchiki would not hesitate to sever that arm on the spot.
Understanding this, and feeling the oppressive sword wind coming at him, Fang Li's expression remained extremely calm. He suddenly pushed off the ground with his toes and moved to the side at the fastest speed.
"Swish——!"
The sharp wind grazed past Fang Li's body, the whistling sound echoing in his ears, allowing him to cleanly dodge the powerful slash.
At this moment, Fang Li's magic eyes did not look at Kyochi Kuchiki but focused on the sharp katana.
On the slender blade, numerous crack-like death lines were entangled.
These were the "deaths" of the weapon.
"Right here!"
Fang Li tightened his grip on the dagger and fiercely cut towards the death lines on the katana's blade.
If he could hit the death lines on the blade, the weapon would truly meet its end, being cleanly severed by Fang Li's dagger.
Unfortunately, compared to a human body, a weapon in rapid motion is not only difficult to hit but also much smaller in size, with fewer death lines. Killing it would undoubtedly be very challenging.
As evidence, with just a reflexive upward movement, the death lines on Kyochi Kuchiki's katana immediately deviated from Fang Li's target.
"Clank——!"
At that moment, the dagger struck the katana's blade, which had deviated from the death lines, producing a pleasant, bell-like sound.
"Indeed, it's not that easy, huh?" Although Fang Li had anticipated this situation, he still couldn't help but be amazed.
"What? Is that all you've got?" Kyochi Kuchiki didn't understand why Fang Li didn't attack him directly but instead attacked the weapon, but this did not hinder him from continuing the fight.
Thus, Kyochi Kuchiki raised his katana, without any hesitation, and his arm moved rapidly.
Instantly, the sharp katana transformed into a series of continuous slashes, leaving trails in the air as it fiercely attacked Fang Li's entire body.
At this moment, Kyochi Kuchiki pushed his swordsmanship to the limit, the katana in his hand drawing intricate trajectories, either straight or curved, like a sudden storm, enveloping Fang Li's entire body.
Faced with such exquisite swordsmanship, Fang Li had no means to counter it. He could only rely on his magic eyes to capture the death lines on the katana, barely seeing through the trajectory of the slashes and raising his dagger to block.
"Clang——!"
A sound of impact, sparks flying.
Fang Li was once again numbed by the powerful force, his body retreating.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang——!"
Kyochi Kuchiki, not letting up, continued his rapid slashes from all directions, fiercely attacking Fang Li, forcing him to block each one, producing countless sounds of impact that echoed in the air.
In this situation, Fang Li, who was naturally weaker in STR (Strength) compared to an average person, was naturally overwhelmed by Kyochi Kuchiki's slashes, his wrists becoming weak and his body retreating continuously.
However, Fang Li's expression remained calm, even as his arms began to ache from the repeated impacts and his magic eyes, which were capturing the rapidly moving death lines on the katana, started to feel strained. His expression did not waver in the slightest.
"Tsk..."
Kyochi Kuchiki, whether out of frustration or disgust, clicked his tongue.
He probably didn't expect that all his attacks would be blocked by Fang Li.
A homeless person with no martial arts foundation had managed to see through and block the attacks of a highly skilled swordsman.
"It seems that his eyes are not just strange; his vision is also quite remarkable."
Kyochi Kuchiki thought.
This thought was half correct.
Fang Li was able to see through Kyochi Kuchiki's advanced swordsmanship and block the attacks thanks to the magic eyes' ability to capture the death lines.
However, what Fang Li's magic eyes captured were not the physical weapons but the intangible death lines.
Although he couldn't hit the death lines due to the katana's rapid movement, he could still clearly see them.
As long as he could see the death lines, Fang Li knew from where Kyochi Kuchiki's slashes would come.
Relying on the magic eyes' ability to capture the death lines, Fang Li managed to block Kyochi Kuchiki's attacks.
But...
"That's all you can do!"
Kyochi Kuchiki's grip on the katana tightened, and he poured all his strength into it, delivering the heaviest slash yet at Fang Li.
The ice-blue magic eyes successfully captured this strike.
However, from the whistling wind, Fang Li understood.
He couldn't block this strike.
"Clang——!"
As if confirming Fang Li's thoughts, the heavy strike landed on his dagger. In the sound of metal clashing, Fang Li's dagger was forcefully knocked away.
"I've got you!"
Kyochi Kuchiki's eyes sharpened, and he took a step forward. The downward diagonal slash once again cut through the air, accompanied by a fierce wind, aiming for Fang Li's body.
Fang Li suddenly raised his head, his magic eyes glowing brilliantly.
