Chapter 46 (2/2)

This strike was as fast as lightning, and an oppressive aura of magnificence accompanied it.

It’s so fast. Murong You felt like Meng Chuan’s attack was too fast. The saber strike was even faster and more domineering than Meng Chuan’s previous strikes.

It doesn’t pose a threat to me. Murong You instantly used a forbidden technique. His strength increased by a great deal, and his pair of scimitars perfectly sealed the area in front of him. With the sound of weapons clashing, Murong You perfectly parried the attack.

Boom!

Meng Chuan quickly followed up with a second strike.

His second strike carried the first strike’s might with it. The lightning in his body surged, and his Quintessential Energy gushed like tidal waves. This saber move was even more domineering. Although the saber beam was only ten feet long, it was much stronger than the Lightning Ultimate Saber Drawing Stance he had unleashed earlier.

Under the dark sky, Murong You’s vision blurred. He found the saber beam blinding.

Bam! Murong You was indeed skilled with wielding his two scimitars. He was able to block the attack with great difficulty. However, the beam transmitted a heavy force that reached his organs. Murong You’s body jolted, and his nasal cavities were filled with the smell of blood.

Now, the third saber strike! Meng Chuan’s eyes were filled with killing intent. After repeated usage of the Power of the Soul, Meng Chuan could only unleash one final strike. It was a desperate move.

He had obtained a portion of the Black Metal Sutra’s Lightning Devastator Saber 17th stance. He knew only the first two moves; the third move was unknown to him.

However, he used his knowledge of the first two moves to achieve his own version of the third attack. The lightning within his body rampaged. His Quintessential Energy flowed through his meridians, wave after wave. He wasn’t able to suppress the energies. He couldn’t redirect the energy and channel it into a fourth attack. All he could do was completely unleash all his power without any thought.

Whoosh.

The lightning and Quintessential Energy in his body entered his saber as he executed his final strike.

Whoosh.

It was unlike his previous two strikes. The first two strikes were powerful and dominating. Each strike faster and more domineering than the previous. The third strike was extremely soft. It was the Swaying Moonfall he had been cultivating for a very long time! He had used this technique to kill Tu Shang. However, the speed at which he delivered this Swaying Moonfall was far faster. After all, he had fused all energy accumulated from his first two moves, thus allowing him to deliver his most terrifying Swaying Moonfall.

The saber art was gentle and sinister, making its trajectory unpredictable.

This was a combination of moves Meng Chuan had devised by himself. By combining Five Lightning Descent’s first two moves, he could create a three-strike combo with Swaying Moonfall!

A combination of domineering and softness.

Not good. Murong You was used to blocking fast and furious strikes. He was prepared to block the third attack, but who would have thought the third attack would suddenly turn sinister and gentle? Murong You frantically tried to block it.

Murong You’s scimitars collided with the saber beam, but the beam was like moonlight pouring down, detectable but difficult to capture.

When Murong You’s scimitars touched the saber beam, a strange revolving force broke through his defense. The saber beam appeared before him.

This is bad. Murong You’s heart sank when he failed to block the attack. He instinctively used his arms to block.

Pfft!

An ethereal saber beam flashed.

An arm flew up, and a bloody gash appeared on Murong You’s chest.

Am I going to die by Meng Chuan’s hands? Murong You’s heart chilled. Although he survived the terrifying strike, he had lost an arm. The gaping wound on his chest caused his strength to drop drastically. He had half of his strength left.

He had been suppressed at his peak.

With half his peak strength left, Murong You felt disenchanted with the situation.

I didn’t manage to kill him? A chill ran down Meng Chuan’s spine. Using the Power of the Soul had exhausted him. He wasn’t able to unleash his full strength again. Without the Power of the Soul, his strength was the same as the two vice branch masters. Even if Murong You was severely injured, he didn’t have the confidence to keep him here.
