Chapter 256: Liao Nan Beheaded

Translator: CynthiaEditor: X

Liao Nan had not expected that Shi Xueman would suddenly take action. He was shocked to see the spear swiftly piercing toward him.

Shi Xueman’s super quick assault created a stream of lights that gradually enlarged in Liao Nan’s eyes. Liao Nan’s pupils constricted abruptly. As he rapidly retreated, his palm lit up with red light and slapped at the spear, but it was instantly penetrated by the awl-like spear.

With a muffled groan, Liao Nan sped up sharply and reappeared several meters away.

He looked at the bloody hole on his hand and deeply asked, ”Why?”

”No matter what you say, we are enemies. So, why not cut the crap?” Shi Xueman said indifferently. Her voice was as chilly as the morning mist.

Liao Nan asked, ”As long as I’m a blood elementalist, you just can’t let it go? No exception?”

”Maybe there will be.” Her calm and clear voice revealed no emotion. Looking directly into Liao Nan’s eyes, she said, ”But it won’t be you.”

”Apparently, it was all my wishful thinking.” Liao Nan pulled himself together. Suddenly, a bloody glow flashed in his eyes. ”Then I won’t be lenient anymore.”

Liao Nan took a step forward and disappeared unexpectedly.

The look on Shi Xueman’s face hardened. As the end of Cirrus shivered, she jumped upward abruptly.

Clink!

Sparks splashed in the air.

Shi Xueman felt a blast of power come through the end of the spear, which made Cirrus almost slip out of her hands. She grasped Cirrus with all her strength, spun in a circle as a result of the impact, and stabbed the spear again into the air.

Clink!

Another radiant spark bloomed in the air.

This time Shi Xueman was prepared. After a slight jolt, she stamped hard, dashed like a lightning bolt, and once more stabbed the Cirrus skyward.

A transparent ripple appeared in the atmosphere.

The look on Liao Nan’s face became serious. The spear move used by Shi Xueman seemed to not be fancy or complicated, but he could not help gravitating toward the spearhead. He saw an illusion that the space around the point of the spear was collapsing inward Like a moth flying to a flame, he could not stop his slap from approaching.

Clink!

This time, the force generated by the spear was stronger than the previous ones. It was so powerful that Liao Nan lost feeling in his arms.

Shi Xueman deserved to be called goddess!

Liao Nan genuinely admired Shi Xueman in his heart. She was called a goddess not only because of her unparalleled beauty, but also due to her strength that largely surpassed her peers. Once, he had fought together with the A-1 Unit, so he had witnessed Shi Xueman’s might. She was indeed strong at that time, but definitely could not compare to what she was today.

The power he had obtained through death could not at all compete with the progress Shi Xueman had achieved. Was this the superiority of those so-called aristocratic families?

Liao Nan’s mind was filled with jealousy and a little bit of anger.

He roared in fury, a bloody glow flowing around him. The speed of his attacks accelerated, which generated red lights shining all over the sky.

Shi Xueman stood calmly on the ground. Her moves slowed down, and each strike was extremely simple as well as lucid. With each move, a cloud of bloody glow faded away. Without the protection of the glow, Liao Nan’s hands collided solidly with the spear.

Liao Nan was rocked by every collision.

Shi Xueman’s moves became more and more fluent. She felt as if she was silently swimming in the stratosphere like a whale. There was no splendid radiance, but spectators could sense the incomparable power hidden under the serenity.

Shi Xueman found inspiration.

The humpback cloud whale was the overlord of the sky. They had no natural enemies, which allowed them to freely swim in the sky without any obstacles. As the overlords, they did not need to care about other creatures’ thoughts. All they needed to do was swim silently.

I’m the center…

A brilliance emerged out from Shi Xueman’s eyes as her spear moves became slower and crisper.

Liao Nan sensed the pressure increasing steeply as if he was in a horrible whirlpool. Enormous power pressed against him from all directions. No matter how he changed his attacking angles, his hands would slap upon the spear without exception. The force from the spear was so strong that each collision could numb his arms.

What kind of spear move was this?

Liao Nan now realized that Shi Xueman had become so strange and so strong.

His mind was disturbed for a moment and so was the surrounding space. Liao Nan’s expression changed, as he felt something was about to happen. The snow-white Cirrus dashed out from the clouds like a humpback whale. Then, without any fancy moves, it directly jabbed toward him.

The ambient space seemed to freeze, and Liao Nan felt that he had no way to dodge.

Taking a deep breath, Liao Nan’s chest promptly compressed, while his arms grew much thicker and stronger. Veins crawled all over his hands,resembling a pair of blood-made net gloves..

Liao Nan gradually pushed out his hands while exhaling.

When her spear and Liao Nan’s hands clashed, Shi Xueman’s body was shocked, while Liao Nan’s hands exploded like watermelons. The weirdest thing was that the blood net gloves covering his arms abruptly wrapped backward before flying toward Shi Xueman.

Liao Nan showed a flash of complacency on his face. As a blood elementalist, he could always recover as long as it was not a fatal wound. The blood elementalists who were good at healing could even restore themselves immediately.

Liao Nan could not do that, but he did not care about it at all.

As long as the blood net could cover Shi Xueman, it would be impossible for her to get rid of it.

After he awakened as a blood elementalist, some abilities hidden in his body had swarmed into his mind as memories. His blood was different from the others’—it could be separated from his body and absorb the elemental energy from other elementalists.

When Shi Xueman saw the blood net, her pupil suddenly constricted.
