Chapter 424 (2/2)
He was sending a concentrated barrage of attacks, one that humans of even higher cultivation levels would find hard to dodge. Yet for some reason, the young man before him was able to move away right before he attacked, causing him to consistently miss. The more he missed, the more agitated he became.
The only reason Xiang Shaoyun kept dodging was because he wanted to properly study the flow of the devilish energy, trying to make sure his hypothesis was correct. It would seem like he had been right. He was able to predict the attack trajectory of the devil apeman through the energy flow, allowing him to move aside before the attack came.
Apart from that, he could also essentially enlarge the attacks' openings by reading their trajectories. If he wanted, he could easily demolish any attack the devil apeman sent. As this realization struck him, he felt himself become much better at predicting moves.
He also discovered that the devil apeman was essentially repeating the same series of attacks. Although his attacks were destructive, they lacked creativity. Eventually, he decided it was time to end this.
”Time to end this,” said Xiang Shaoyun as the presence of dragon and tiger suddenly surged out of him. In that moment, he was like the son of heavens, showing his domineering side. ”The devilish energy is vast and mighty, but it can't compare to my grand and righteous energy. Die!”
This time, Xiang Shaoyun no longer fought bare-handed. The Purple Lightning Saber appeared in his hand as he summoned three lightning bolts from the sky. Traces of silver could be seen in them. They were silver lightning bolts.
Rumble! Rumble!
The astonis.h.i.+ng might of the lightning bolts gave the devil apeman a fright. Even so, he still pressed on and swung his bone weapon forward. Once again, Xiang Shaoyun utilized his ability of prediction and revealed the attack's opening before his eyes. Next, he slashed the Purple Lightning Saber directly at the opening.
Instantly, the devil apeman's attack fell apart. The saber continued on to hack the devil apeman's arm, causing blood to spray out like a fountain. However, the devil apeman had a terrifyingly tough flesh, and the cut was not able to go all the way through.
Even so, silver lightning energy was the bane of devilish energy. A ma.s.sive amount of silver lightning energy poured into the devil apeman's arm, instantly burning the arm to crisp, causing the devil apeman to wail in pain.
Even in all that pain, the devil apeman still slammed his head down at Xiang Shaoyun's head. It was something Xiang Shaoyun had not expected, and he was. .h.i.t by a burst of dizziness.
”I am going to tear you apart alive!” roared the devil apeman. He resisted his pain and slammed his other hand down.
Xiang Shaoyun had not recovered from the previous attack and was struck again. The devil apeman was about to press on with more attacks, but Xiang Shaoyun had already recovered from his dizziness. He roared in fury, ”You want to tear me apart? You are not enough for that. Watch how I cut you apart!”
Xiang Shaoyun soared to the sky, sending a roaring dragon and a tiger out. Instantly, six silver lightning bolts converged on him, combined with his innate purple lightning, and formed a ma.s.sive purple saber energy that slashed down at the devil apeman.
First stance of the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, Lightning Slash From the Clear Sky!
The tyrannical lightning power and the rumbling thunderclaps filled the hearts of the people there with fear. Fear also appeared on the devil apeman's face, but he still stood his ground and made one last struggle. A clump of devilish energy shot out of his mouth toward the incoming saber energy in his attempt to block the fatal attack.
Rumble! Rumble!
