Chapter 625 Part 1 Thank You (2/2)

Although he had also lost a lot of high-grade equipment after his death, that skill was something that could not be taken away.

The most terrifying aspect of the skill was, even here within World’s End, it could still grow stronger over time.

Even more so, Wu Ya also possessed another decisive move, a transformation skill that he had managed to get his hands on by chance: Magical Dragon Transformation.

The complete version of the Magical Dragon Transformation would allow its user to transform into the Jormungandr from Norse mythology.

The Magical Dragon Transformation skill that Wu Ya acquired, however, was not the complete version. Thus, the Jormungandr transformation did not transform him into the standard colossal python. Rather, it was a mix of dragon, python and some human traits.

Even so, it was enough for Wu Ya to build up his current level of renown throughout this World’s End.

Wu Ya stood up in the sky as he watched Chen Xiaolian, who continued to swing the long blade around. He snorted inwardly.

The Unity of Five Energies allowed for the manipulation of the energies of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, the five elements. Each of them needed to be cultivated separately, a laborious and time-consuming process. Before his death, Wu Ya had not put much effort into the skill. It was only after coming to World’s End did he turn to the skill once more and seriously cultivate them. Due to the limitation in energy, however, the one he prioritized most was the cultivation of the metal element.

Due to the earlier time constraint, when Wu Ya was setting up the sword array, he was only able to roughly smelt the steel bars into the shape of flying swords. However, now that he had Chen Xiaolian trapped within the array, he had the time to control the attacks of the flying swords and slowly temper them.

At most, it will take only another three minutes. Then, Chen Xiaolian… … you will be defeated!

Chen Xiaolian swung the blade, again and again.

The force behind each incoming attack grew increasingly stronger. The resulting tremors from each collision caused his arm to ache. Even so, Chen Xiaolian could only continue to swing the blade.

Back then, facing the stream of flames shot out from the youngling Karra beasts, Chen Xiaolian had channelled Skyblade’s power through the blade to form a barrier before him. Now, facing this sword array from Wu Ya, he dared not repeat the same move.

He feared that the strength behind the flying swords could instantly pierce through the golden barrier.

Even his present method of using the long blade to deflect the incoming flying swords could not last long.

In addition to nicks, several cracks had appeared on the long blade. On the contrary, the force behind the flying swords was growing stronger. It was such that the winds created from the flying swords were causing lines of gully to form on the surface of the bridge around him. Despite the short amount of time that had passed, the surface of the bridge around Chen Xiaolian was filled with cuts and pieces of gravel flew about in the air.

Ding!

Ding ding!

Ding ding ding!

Clang!

After that last collision, the long blade, which was filled with cracks, was finally no longer capable of handling any more of the powerful and unrelenting attacks. It finally broke into two.

After the flying sword was sent flying from the collision, three more flying swords shot out toward Chen Xiaolian from three different directions.

Chen Xiaolian only had a broken blade in his hand.

When the three flying swords were flying toward him, Chen Xiaolian’s rate of movement suddenly increased by several notches.

Twisting his body in a way that most people would be unable to do, Chen Xiaolian made his way through two of the incoming flying swords. Then, he reached out with his palm to grab hold of the third flying sword.

Golden light flashed out from the hilt of the flying sword, spreading forward until it reached the tip of the sword. When it happened, Wu Ya, who was up in the sky, flinched.

Due to the golden light, the metal energy that Wu Ya placed upon the flying sword was instantly swept away, causing him to lose control over the flying sword.

As for Chen Xiaolian, the moment his palm grabbed hold of the flying sword, an atmosphere that he had never revealed before erupted from his body.

Casting a cold gaze at Wu Ya, who was up in the sky, he raised the flying sword up above his head before hacking down with it.

There was still a distance of tens of metres between him and Chen Xiaolian. However, seeing the hacking motion, Wu Ya felt his heart growing tense. Even the act of breathing became laboured.

There were still tens of flying swords circling around Chen Xiaolian. Yet, for some unknown reason, Wu Ya felt a faint sense of danger.

This was an instinct forged through countless battles.

After just a moment’s hesitation, Wu Ya waved his hand and the flying sword that he was on made a circle to fly back.

As the flying sword was flying back, the strike from Chen Xiaolian descended.

A golden light, piercing through the Heaven and Earth alike, enveloped all around him.

The mighty golden light spread forward and Wu Ya found it hard to keep his eyes open in face of the attack.

Thankfully, he had just retreated a distance of several hundred metres, allowing him to escape the area enveloped by the golden light. As for his sword array, they were like melting ice, vanishing instantly in face of the golden light.

The golden light faded away. Of the many flying swords that filled the sky around Chen Xiaolian, only one was left.

The one in Chen Xiaolian’s hand.

“Thank you for giving me a good sword.”
