As Huang Lin’s sword swept out, his longsword seemed to instantly transcend time and space, as a towering, incomparably sharp sword Qi soared to the skies, giving everyone a horrifying feeling, as if the edge of a blade had just stroked past their faces.
Rebecca, who was bearing the brunt of the attack, suffered the greatest pressure. She could only feel that her Reduced Force Field seemed to be slashed apart by Huang Lin. Letting out a shout of terror, she frantically started retreating.
As she retreated, sword Qis with the nature of thunder and fire shot out of her fingers and zoomed towards Huang Lin’s longsword.
But as the Qis of thunder and fire hit Huang Ling’s sword with the force of a bazooka, they were slashed apart like tofu and then dissipated. Huang Lin had used a single slash to scatter the eighteen streams of sword Qis of thunder and fire, his sword’s tip stopping less than one meter away from Rebecca’s forehead.
Abject terror filling her eyes. It was only at this moment that she recalled Huang Lin’s identity. He was a level 25 Sword Master who had completed the second transition, a Conferred Knight with the job ‘Heaven Slaughtering Greatsword’, an asura who had once killed over ten thousand enemies in a battlefield.
Her entire strength violently erupted. Her stats, with over 100 points in strength, agility, and flexibility, blew up like a bomb. The attributes which she had slowly accumulated through her daily sword technique practice over the decades, the heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures she had taken daily for her meals, the strong physique she had built up from the resources resulting in her body building up over the years… Even Knights who had recently passed their second transition would barely be her match.
But despite the eruption of her over 100 points in strength, speed, and flexibility attributes, she was still unable to escape from Huang Lin’s deathly attack.
She saw the sword’s tip inching closer and closer, shortening the distance between the two of them. Just as it was about to pierce into her forehead, a spotlessly white palm, akin to jade, appeared all of a sudden, its fingers pinching the edge of Huang Lin’s sword, and countering his attack.
Saved, Rebecca could only feel cold perspiration drenching her entire body. Seeing the Headmaster blocking Huang Lin’s sword for her, the previous terror and despair she had on her face immediately transformed into an anger so intense that it soared to the heavens.
An ear-piercing shriek escaped from her throat as she hysterically screamed, “HUANG LIN, YOU… HOW DARE YOU?” She pointed to Huang Lin as she screamed, “YOU WANT TO KILL ME? BECAUSE OF THIS LITTLE BASTARD, YOU ACTUALLY WANTED TO KILL ME?!”
“Aren’t you still alive?” Huang Lin gave a cold laugh. With a shake of the sword in his hand, he withdrew his sword from the Headmaster’s grasp.
The Headmaster smiled bitterly and said, “Alright. Although there may be some friction between the both of you, is there really a need to face each other with swords?”
“BUT HE WANTED TO KILL ME!” Rebecca continued screaming, her gaze filled with enmity as she stared at Huang Lin and Fang Xingjian. “To publicly try and kill a Knight conferred by the Empire! He is revolting! Huang Lin, just you wait. I will report this to the Knight’s Association, I’m going to cripple you of your sword skills and send you to prison, and make you live in the most disgusting and dirty shit hole for all of your life!
“And you!” She turned and glared at Fang Xingjian, ruthlessly cursing, “Little bastard, I’ll make you kneel and kowtow to Kaunitz! I’ll make you his slave forever!”
Fang Xingjian glared at her, the killing intent in his eyes circulating continuously. He had already marked this old hag as a target that he would certainly kill.
“Hmm?” Beside him, Huang Lin also had his eyes opened, and it seemed as if boundless sword light was circulating in his eyes. He took another step forward, sending gushes of killing intent as consistent as material objects towards Rebecca.
Rebecca let out a cry, dodging, and then grabbed Kaunitz as she retreated far into the distance. In several blinks’ time she was already several meters away.
Her resentful voice echoed like the owl or ghosts in the depths of the mountains, echoed.
“The two of you… Remember… This… this matter… is not over!…”
Looking at the fleeing Rebecca, Huang Lin laughed coldly. “Trash. It’s no wonder she is still unable to complete her second transition despite her being in her seventies or eighties.” He then turned towards Fang Xingjian and said, “However, although such old freak have yet to second transition, they have spent too much time at the peak of the first transition. With their age, and with their access to an inexhaustible amount of resources, they’ve raised their attributes to an extremely high level. You have just completed your first transition and still aren’t their match.
“However, with your talent as a Windstorm Sword Hero, just give it a year of two and then killing them will be as easy as killing dogs.”
Fang Xingjian seriously listened as he nodded, “Your disciple understands.”
