Chapter 525 (2/2)
Just as the sword force was about to shoot through Lilia’s head, Lilia raised up her right hand, extremely skillfully forming sword fingers and slashing out. It split the sword force into two, passing by Lilia on each of her side. The split sword force pierced through the forest for several kilometers, leaving behind two long trails of ruins.
“Hmmm?” Asto frowned. He could not understand how Lilia had managed to fend off this move.
On the other hand, Lilia was a little stunned as well. Just then, Fang Xingjian’s voice rang out in her mind, “Don’t be afraid. Just act in accordance to my instructions.”
Amidst the spatial gaps, Fang Xingjian stood right next to Lilia. Simultaneously, he transmitted hints of sword intent into Lilia’s brain, giving her instructions on the actions she should take.
Lilia said excitedly, “Master! You’ve come out from your seclusion?”
Fang Xingjian replied nonchalantly, “Focus. We’ll talk after dealing with this person.”
Lilia nodded and wiped off the blood from the corner of her lips. She formed sword fingers with one hand and pointed at Asto while leaving her other hand behind her back. This was a standard pose expressing that she was ready to take on her opponent.
Asto smiled. “Interesting. Let me see how many more moves you can manage to receive from me.”
As he spoke, Asto launched out another attack with his hand, sending over 1,000 streams of sword force gushing out and heading toward Lilia like a violent storm.
Then Lilia felt as if her body was being grabbed onto by someone, like there was a big and strong hand grabbing her wrist from the void. Even though over 1,000 streams of forces were encompassing her, she felt no terror at all. There was only serenity in her mind.
She waved around continuously with her sword fingers, creating many afterimages and connecting them to form many vortexes.
The over 1,000 sword forces, which had struck toward her, seemed like wanderers who had returned home. They become a great tornado, spinning on the tip of Lilia’s fingers.
“What?!” Asto looked at this scene in disbelief. To think that the other party had not only just fended off his sword forces, but she had even turned them into her own power!
“Excellent, excellent, excellent. I hadn’t expected that you’re another genius. However, for you to dare to challenge the Empire’s authority so easily, don’t blame me for being vicious.”
As Asto spoke, his surroundings trembled a little. Those were the fierce sword forces he had transformed. Over 10,000 streams of sword forces gushed forth. In terms of both speed and strength, they far surpassed the standard of a level 29 Conferred Knight.
The unleashed power could be said to be earth-shaking and world-changing.
The sword forces had merely just appeared when violent sound waves gushed forth toward the entire Sacred Land.
However, the sword forces did not extend outward. They were condensed at one spot and launched in an attack toward Lilia like a light needle.
The speed of the explosive attack made it seem as if Lilia would be crushed within one-thousandth of a second. It created a ten-centimeter-wide vacuum passageway which extended several tens of kilometers behind her and was charging through everything material.
This attack was one that purely utilized one’s achievement level to bully others. With Lilia’s five attributes, there was no way that she would be able to react. Moreover, even if she could react to it, there was no way that she would be able to fend it off.
However, right now, Lilia had Fang Xingjian backing her up.
Therefore, when the sword forces were just about to strike Lilia’s chest, Fang Xingjian also activated the Infiltrating Void. This caused an explosive force to burst at Lilia’s arm, forcing Lilia’s sword fingers point toward Asto’s sword force.
With this collision, the sword forces seemed to have turned from a violent wild beast into a gentle sheep. They continued to throb on Lilia’s palm, no longer showing any signs of attacking.
