Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy Five – Act! (2/2)
Resting for half a year versus losing his life, without needing to think, he knew what to choose.
His mind was unprecedentedly focused. He pushed away all stray thoughts. He did not ask who these people really were, or why they had suddenly attacked. There was only that golden thorn in his eyes, the Sun Shen Thorn.
The lightning-fast Sun Shen Thorn became extremely slow in his eyes. He could see every detail.
The Sun Shen Thorn was unlike their sword energies. It was so dense it was tangible, seeming to be made from gold. The thorn was covered in fine exquisite patterns, and the ancient sun diagrams could be seen.
The clearer he saw it, the more he could feel the great power it contained!
How was the other able to do this?
He lost some of his focus. Making shen power tangible was one of the more common skills right now, but this Sun Shen Thorn that seemed to be masterfully carved showed that the enemy’s level at manifestation was far greater than he could imagine!
His mind was clear. In just an instant, he knew that there was an uncrossable gap between himself and the enemy.
Yet the vast power in his body broke free like a vicious beast!
Strong fighting spirit rose from deep within. His death would not be a waste if he fought such a strong opponent!
The terror deep in his eyes disappeared. Xiao Ru Jian suddenly shouted angrily. He released his restraint over the shen power in his body. The unrestrained shen power rampaged left and right in his body, like a caged tiger.
Xiao Ru Jian’s body seemed to be on fire.
The shen power that existed in every inch of his body was ignited and furiously burned.
A layer of angry green energy appeared on the flying sword on his hand. It flickered like a green flame. Xiao Ru Jian’s eyes were deep like the ocean. He raised the flying sword covered in green flames and stabbed!
The green shen power flaring around the sword undulated in ripples as it travelled from the hilt to the tip of the sword!
When the flames reached the tip of the sword, the green energy that had finished preparing reached its greatest strength. It broke free of the sword tip, and at an astounding speed, flew towards Zuo Mo. Snap, the flying sword in Xiao Ru Jian’s hand cracked.
Xiao Ru Jian’s killing move had not finished, a stab! Another stab!
His movements were peerlessly fast!
In a blink, three successive stabs were completed!
The killing move of the [Three Pure Sword Scripture], [One Sword Transforming to Three Pure]!
———
The three green sword energies flew towards Zuo Mo in a straight line. The flying sword in Xiao Ru Jian’s hand lost all of its light. When the last stroke was finished, the sword shattered into countless pieces.
The first green sword energy crashed onto the Sun Shen Thorn. Bam, a burst of gold and green energies appeared in the air.
Zuo Mo’s expression became serious. A beast fought the hardest when it was trapped. Even with his strength, he did not dare to be careless.
At this time, the sword energies changed again. The third sword energy suddenly sped up and thrust into the second sword energy. The two sword energies merged into one.
If Xiao Ru Jian’s sword energies could be described as crystal-like before, then the sword energies now were like a furious wave of green sword essence!
Countless sword essences were gathered within in layers that moved restlessly in waves. With every wave, it became stronger. What surprised Zuo Mo was the rate it rose in power was very high.
In a blink, this sword energy had multiplied in strength like a monster revealing its figure.
Compared to Xiao Ru Jian’s previous sword energy, this was tens of times stronger!
Zuo Mo shouted, his sun shen power vibrating. His expression was serious, golden scripts rising off his body and making him appear domineering.
When the golden scripts appeared, Zuo Mo’s presence suddenly changed. A vicious and primitive presence covered the entire battlefield as though there was an ancient monster descending to the mortal realm.
Xiao Ru Jian looked in disbelief at Zuo Mo.
This was … …
A skill from the ancient era!
The ancient’s way of fighting had simple moves without too many flourishes. Their bodies were even stronger than those wasteland beasts. They had endless power, they could pluck suns and moons from the sky, they were the strongest of that era!
That was an era which was like a riddle, one that countless people yearned for.
Zuo Mo was like a hero walking straight out of an ancient myth, like the totem warrior that the Sun Tribe worshiped. An irresistible dominance, and a masculine and strong energy that was like the light of the sun which people could not avoid.
Zuo Mo’s right hand flashed with bright golden energy. The golden scripts on his body slowly circulated, the light on his right hand flickering, and forming a simple axe.
Zuo Mo raised the golden axe of light high up. His entire body leaned forward slightly. He seemed to channel all of his strength into the simple axe he had raised. His eyes were wide, every muscle in his body was tense.
A power to uproot mountains and an unrivalled presence!
Just like the Sun Tribe totem warrior of tens of thousands of years ago swinging the [Sun Shen Axe]! Just as domineering like the Sun Tribe totem warrior of tens of thousands of years ago! Looking down on all beings like the Sun Tribe totem warrior of tens of thousands of years ago!
The only difference was that this was his era!
Strong belief and furious power was channeled into the [Sun Shen Axe] in his hand.
It swung downward!
