Chapter 626 He Is Not Dead Yet (1/2)
GOR Chapter 626
Wu Ya looked at the sword that Chen Xiaolian was slowly lifting upward. A serious look had appeared on his snake face.
Although his right arm had yet to fully recover, a sphere of light had begun to consolidate upon his left palm.
Through his instinct as a powerhouse, Wu Ya was able to sense that Chen Xiaolian was gradually pushing himself to his limit.
It was not that he was reluctant to initiate an attack. Earlier, he had barely managed to block off Chen Xiaolian’s attack through the use of his right arm, crippling it in the process. Thus, Wu Ya understood just how powerful Chen Xiaolian’s sword attack was.
However, in order to take on Chen Xiaolian’s earlier attack, he had to hastily transform. Yet, despite pushing himself to his limit, he was unable to complete his transformation. That was why his right arm was crippled in the process. Now, despite having completed the transformation, he found that he had used up too much strength.
Although he had begun initiating his sphere of light skill, he will need a certain amount of time before it could be fully formed.
All Wu Ya could do at the moment was to exert himself to consolidate the sphere of light while staring at the sword in Chen Xiaolian’s hands, which continued to rise up slowly.
A transient golden light shimmered around the sword. This time, the golden light was not flowing through the sword. Instead, it formed an illusory silhouette of a long sword.
For every inch the sword rose up, the golden sword silhouette grew by a notch and its outline grew even clearer.
The aura exuding from Chen Xiaolian’s body, too, intensified.
This kid, could he also be [S] class?
The moment Wu Ya thought of that, he dispelled that thought.
For Players, Awakened ones and Irregularities, there were many system props which they could use to change their appearances. However, after entering the Recycle Bin, all those props would disappear.
In other words, no one in World’s End will grow old. At the same time, their appearance will remain similar to that of their time of death.
The youngster before him appeared to be roughly 16 or 17 years old. Even if he did have some fortuitous encounters, how could someone this young reach [S] class?
So far, Wu Ya had only met a small handful of [S] class Irregularities.
However, the aura emanating from Chen Xiaolian and the gigantic golden sword silhouette forming in the sky was something that only an [S] class expert could possess.
Unlike Wu Ya, who was in a state of shock, Chen Xiaolian was calm.
Chen Xiaolian had discarded all other thoughts from his mind. At that moment, all within Heaven and Earth did not exist. The only thing his eyes could see was Wu Ya.
Skyblade’s power surged through his entire body and flowed out from his arms into the sword that he was holding.
The more power he poured into the sword, the heavier it became; as the sword continued to rise inch by inch, every inch required a great deal of strength.
Finally, both his hands were atop his head and the gigantic golden sword created from the golden light was in the same position as the sword in his hands; erect, rising all the way up to the sky.
At the same time, the sphere of light on Wu Ya’s left palm had fully formed.
The sphere of light was bigger and even more dazzling compared to the one Wu Ya had used to kill the mature Karra beast. It swirled rapidly within Wu Ya’s palm.
His right arm had stopped bleeding; however, it was not fully recovered. The shattered bones of the right arm were unable to support the arm and it hung limply. Despite that, Wu Ya no longer had the time to wait for it to recover.
He lifted up his left arm. With a quick twist of his body, Wu Ya then hurled the sphere of light down at Chen Xiaolian.
“Die, you insect!”
“My blade, is for hacking!”
Facing the descending sphere of light, Chen Xiaolian felt as though Skyblade’s words were resonating within his ears.
What he held in his hands no longer mattered. Be it a blade, a sword, an axe, or a hammer, only one thought remained in Chen Xiaolian’s mind.
Hack it!
Following Wu Ya’s roar, Chen Xiaolian swung down both his arms.
The sword hacked down, bringing the gigantic golden sword down with it to hack the incoming sphere of light.
The vast force gathered into the sword was like a reservoir filled to the brim with water, thrashing about to find a way out, only to be held back by Chen Xiaolian. At that very moment, however, it was as though a gap had opened up on the reservoir and that power surged out all at once.
The gigantic golden sword descended, seemingly at in incomparably slow rate. However, it also moved with seemingly incomparable swiftness to meet Wu Ya’s sphere of light.
The gigantic golden sword struck the sphere of light. Shockingly, no explosion erupted. Not even the sound of collision could be heard.
The gigantic golden sword remained in a peculiar state of stillness, in contact with the sphere of light. It was as though it had come to a grinding halt.
Wu Ya gnashed his snake fangs as his red tongue continued swinging about on the outside. His body, however, was unmoving as he continued hovering in the sky.
Likewise, the sword in Chen Xiaolian’s hands stopped halfway in its descent. Just like the gigantic golden sword in the sky, the sword in his hands could not advance any further.
Two fearsome power had clearly clashed against one another. Yet, at that very moment, the entire area entered instead into a peculiar state of stillness, similar to the surface of a tranquil lake.
Still.
Still.
The stillness continued.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Wu Ya suddenly released a loud roar.
The sphere of light suddenly expanded by several notches, engulfing the gigantic golden sword.
“Insect! You are… … not [S] class!”
Wu Ya released a savage roar of laughter, which echoed throughout the bridge. However, it also contained traces of weakness.
“Now, die! Insect!”
After having engulfed the gigantic golden sword, the white sphere of light slowly descended upon Chen Xiaolian, who remained on the bridge. The sphere of light moved unobstructed, descending like a vast mountain.
Even so, Chen Xiaolian did not move to dodge. Both his hands continued holding onto the sword as he maintained his earlier stance.
His eyes continued to stare at the sphere of light. There was neither fear nor despair in his eyes, only pure determination.
“Break!”
Clenching his teeth, Chen Xiaolian then released his own roar.
The advancing sphere of light suddenly came to a halt. Once again, the peculiar state of stillness entered the area.
Next, a faint golden light shone out from within the sphere of light.
In the beginning, the golden light was only a faint existence, almost fleeting in quality. In the blink of an eye, however, it grew increasingly concentrated and its light shone out in every direction.
The expression on Wu Ya’s snake face sank.
However, it was too late.
