Chapter 165 (2/2)

First stance of Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, Lightning Slash From the Clear Sky!

Rumble!

With the swing of the saber, a sudden clap of thunder rang out as a bolt of lightning shot toward Bai Fan. This attack was different from an ordinary lightning powered slash. It contained the power of both lightning and saber intent. With the combination of lightning and human saber unity, the saber became one with the lightning as it struck at its target.

Bai Fan's pupils shrank as he tried to capture the trajectory of the saber, but the lightning speed was too fast for his naked eyes to catch. In any case, the Devilspirit wasn't at its full strength. Thus, Bai Fan was unable to dodge the attack and had no choice but to face it head on.

The Devilspirit Sword was swung, sending a wave of sinister energy that was instantly destroyed the moment it touched the lightning power. The lightning power then proceeded un.o.bstructed.

”AHHHH!”

The attack struck, leaving a hole in Bai Fan's stomach, the pain causing him to wail miserably. The Devilspirit could not feel any pain, but Bai Fan could feel it.

”Die!” Xiang Shaoyun's momentum reached the peak as he followed up with another swing of his saber.

The Devilspirit Sword wanted to block the attack again, but Bai Fan's consciousness started resisting, ”Devil spirit, I don't want this power anymore. Return me my freedom. I don't want to merge with you.”

Because of the struggle of Bai Fan's soul, Devilspirit was unable to swing the sword in time and was struck by Xiang Shaoyun again. The attack nearly slashed Bai Fan's body into two.

”b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I was planning to give you a chance to live, but I am changing my mind. I will deal with you first before dealing with that brat,” the devil spirit cursed before fleeing with Bai Fan's injured body.

”Don't dream of leaving!” Xiang Shaoyun wanted to give chase, but he had only taken a few steps when he staggered and collapsed to the ground.

His arms started twitching, and strands of purple energy snaked around them. He had a sensation his arms were going to burst apart, the pain causing him to break out in cold sweat.

That was the backlash of forcefully utilizing the saber technique. With his current strength, he wasn't supposed to be able to use the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique yet. But he had forcefully used it, and it was natural that he now suffered for it.

His entire body felt limp, as if he had been completely exhausted of energy. If Bai Fan returned, he would be completely helpless.

Xiang Shaoyun stabbed the saber into the ground and dissolved some spirit stones in his astral cosmos sea to start replenis.h.i.+ng his energy. He also dissolved some healing pills to start healing his injuries. He was afraid that some bandits would come out. If that happened, he would definitely die. Thus, he had to first recover enough strength to protect himself.

”Looks like I have to retreat for now,” Xiang Shaoyun muttered after recovering some of his energy. But when he tried to walk, he found his legs trembling weakly.

That was the side effect of forcefully using a battle technique beyond his cultivation level. It was unlikely for him to recover before about half a month of rest. Even that speed was already due to his outstanding physique. Anyone else would have required more than a month to recover.

Luckily for him, Luo Yongcheng had come back for him. ”Brother Xiang, are you fine?”

”I'm still alive, but I don't think I can walk for now,” Xiang Shaoyun said with a bitter smile.

”Come, let me help you back,” offered Luo Yongcheng.

Xiang Shaoyun did not hesitate and allowed Luo Yongcheng to help him as they returned to the town. The Redwolf Bandits did not give chase. As for Bai Fan, Xiang Shaoyun had no choice but to spare him for now.
