Another piece of cloud had been sucked dry.
A bitter smile appeared on Ai Hui’s face when he looked at his arms. The size of his arms thinned again.
The sword cloud within his body strengthened again.
His muscles were degenerating at a rapid speed. His clearly defined muscles had completely disappeared. The strength of his arms had reduced significantly and his body was much more skinnier than before.
With his body fully covered with bandages, he looked like an air-dried mummy.
Ai Hui’s body was lacking in life force, resembling a person who was about to die. Even though he had stabilized his injured condition, his body had become significantly weaker. Other than this, there was nothing wrong with him.
Ak Hui, himself, was the one who couldn’t get used to it the most.
In the past, his strong and agile body was one of his most trustworthy weapons during combat. He was very proficient in using his body to obtain an advantageous position during a fight.
However, he had completely lost this advantage now.
He suddenly became extremely delicate, unable to even truss a chicken. He would be lying to himself if he said he didn’t find it a problem at all.
On the contrary, the sword cloud had become several times stronger. It slowly revolved and gave off a boundless aura of might.
Mysteriously, his eyes had become unusually bright. Nowadays, his gaze varied irregularly.
Sometimes, his gaze would be empty and unpredictable. Sometimes, his gaze would be limpid and lofty like the sky. Occasionally, it would be boundlessly deep like the vast starry sky. There were also times where his gaze looked as if it was densely covered with lightning bolts, giving off an aura of destruction. At times, his gaze would look as sharp as a sword, piercing through the heart of whoever he looked at.
However, no matter what, his gaze would always dazzle with brilliance, making it impossible for one to look him in the eyes.
When he touched the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist, the sword cloud within his body trembled and the feeling of weakness instantly disappeared without a trace. The glint in his eyes became more glaring as well.
Ai Hui gently shook the sword hilt and abruptly disappeared from the sky.
The next moment, he appeared one meter above the ground. He let go of the sword hilt and the power in his body disappeared immediately. He fell to the ground and staggered before stabilizing himself.
These past few days, he had made a lot of new discoveries.
The sword cloud would only react under two circumstances. The first circumstance was when it was absorbing lightning. The second was when Ai Hui held his sword hilt.
As long as Ai Hui held his sword, the sword cloud would be initialized. It would engulf Ai Hui’s body with energy and power, resonating with his flesh.
Ai Hui called this [Imbuement of Sword Cloud].
However, the moment he let go of the sword hilt, he would revert back to the frail and weak loser who couldn’t even truss a chicken.
The thing that left him helpless was that the [Imbuement of Sword Cloud] would deplete the lightning in his sword cloud. As such, he had no choice but to reduce the amount of time that he held his sword.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure approaching him. It was Yang Xiaodong.
Yang Xiaodong was travel-worn. When he saw Ai Hui, he heaved a sigh of relief. Initially, he did not have a good impression of Ai Hui. However, after he returned from the battlefield, he found Ai Hui to be cordial. He took out a letter and passed it to Ai Hui, ”This is from Division Leader Shi.”
Iron Lady’s letter!
Ai Hui became energized and quickly took the letter.
…..
”Great victory! Great victory!”
A wave of cheers swept across the camp of the Dread Division.
Even Wan Shenwei’s cold-looking face contained a tinge of joy at this moment. He looked in the direction of the front line with a complicated look on his face.
”What great victory?”
Le Buleng’s voice came from behind him.
Wan Shenwei quickly turned around and passed the report in his hand to Le Buleng. ”It’s a report of victory from the front line. The Sky Edge Division, Infantry Division and Spear of Heavy Cloud Division joined hands and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy forces. The enemy forces have lost more than 3,000 men and all of them were elites…”
After taking a glance at the report, Le Buleng’s shrivelled face turned red in an instant. He rudely threw the report at Wan Shenwei’s face.
Even though the report was just a thin piece of paper, it felt like a heavy hammer when it hit Wan Shenwei’s face. Wan Shenwei groaned, but he didn’t care about the pain on his face and hurriedly asked, ”Why is Senior so angry?”
Le Buleng ignored him completely and walked toward his room.
Wan Shenwei quickly chased after him. ”Senior… Senior…”
Le Buleng continued to turn a deaf ear to him. When he reached his room, he began to pack his things.
Wan Shenwei forced a smile and asked, ”Senior, what are you doing?”
Usually, Wan Shenwei did not like to smile. At this point in time, his smile looked extremely unnatural and awkward.
Without raising his head, Le Buleng replied, ”I am not waiting anymore. I am going to challenge Dai Gang now.”
Wan Shenwei was startled. He did not know what had provoked Le Buleng and quickly persuaded him, ”Senior, didn’t we come to an agreement that we will join hands and take on Dai Gang? Why have you suddenly changed your mind?”
”It’s about self-respect,” Le Buleng replied as he continued to pack his things.
”Senior, what are you implying?” Wan Shenwei’s face turned gloomy.
When everyone in the camp saw the two of them arguing, they stopped celebrating and shifted their gazes toward them.
”What am I implying?” Le Buleng sneered as he stopped what he was doing and squinted his eyes. An ominous glint flashed across his eyes as he continued, ”You still dare to argue with me? If I was a few years younger, I would have killed you by now.”
Wan Shenwei tried to restrain the anger within him. His body was surging with a murderous aura while his fists were tightly clenched. ”Senior, can you clarify your words? At least let me know what you are unsatisfied with.”
Le Buleng’s face was filled with disdain as he smirked. ”After spending a few days with you, I still thought you were a real man. A tiger that has rested for too long will lose all its might. A dragon that is locked up for too long will lose its fearsome gaze. My life was full of ups and downs. I have been through countless life-and-death situations. The only thing I have is courage, so I don’t cower from difficulties. A moth that flies into the flame will die, but at least it dies gloriously. Look at all of you, you’re a bunch of dogs and flies that think you can outsmart everyone. In reality, you’re just a bunch of lethargic cowards and weaklings.”
Every word that came out from the skinny old man was powerful and resonating.
Everyone in the camp was speechless.
