Chapter 526: Countering and Lying In Ambush

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations‘What?’ Asto looked at the scene before him in disbelief as he bellowed furiously in his heart, ‘What situation is this?! My attack is the combination of over 10,000 streams of sword force, and its speed far surpasses Conferred Knights’ reaction. To think that she’s able to tap on it instantly and just to happen to break the balance of the 10,000 streams of sword force? Is she a human or a ghost?’

That was not all. Lilia’s entire arm was soon unable to hang on under Fang Xingjian’s control. Her flesh tensed up like it would disintegrate at any moment now.

Despite her powerful physical body, which she had cultivated with the third level of mystical prints and with her job transition as a Gale Wind Sword Deity, Lilia was unable to withstand Fang Xingjian’s power.

Therefore, with a light tap of her finger, the one point, in which 10,000 streams of sword force had merged together, was already slashing out toward Asto.

Facing his own attack which had been turned into his opponent’s power and then used to against himself, Asto’s expression turned extremely cold. The killing intent he felt toward Lilia had also risen to greater heights.

Faced with Lilia’s counter-attack, Asto swung his hand casually, unleashing several tens of thousands of sword force which exploded out. He wanted to fend off the attack from Lilia and then continue to attack and kill her.

However, just as the attack, which was a condensation of 10,000 streams of sword forces, arrived right before Asto, it suddenly exploded, turning into a myriad of meteors and thrusting toward his face.

‘What?! To think that she can let the sword force explode in midair? How on earth did she do that?’

Before he could figure out the principles of Lilia’s attack, Asto quickly controlled the sword forces around him to neutralize the scattering attacks. However, as he unleashed streams of sword force in succession, his countenance also turned increasingly grim.

With each stream of sword force he unleashed to clash with his opponent’s sword force, his own sword force would instantly be absorbed by the opponent’s sword force and then shot back toward him.

Asto felt like he was up against a boundless sea. Each time he attacked, his attacks would just rebound right back.

An extremely intense battle broke out within a range of one zhang around Asto, and he continued to handle the attacks while breaking out in cold sweat. However, as he unleashed more and more explosive sword forces, the sword forces which were sent back toward him increased as well.

The terrifying attacks slowly inched toward his body like they would smash his entire body at the very next moment.

‘Impossible!

‘How could such a thing happen?

‘To think that I would lose out to a young lady who hasn’t even a condensed a single specialty seed?!’

By the time Asto was thinking of escaping, it was already too late. The densely packed sword forces encompassed and gushed out incessantly toward his physical body.

Asto could only watch as the explosive sword forces he had unleashed continued to be turned back on him by his opponent and then also as the wildly seething sword forces continued to inch closer toward his body like countless locusts.

If it were Lilia’s attack, Asto, who had attained perfection in his body’s toughness, would be able to easily take the attack head-on even if he neither moved nor dodged.

However, right now, he was facing his own attacks. In this instant, it was as if he was being surrounded and attacked by several hundreds or thousands of copies of himself.

Finally, with a cry of despair, Asto was instantly covered in blood as he knelt down onto the ground.

However, that was still alright. As an expert who had mastered the level of brain regeneration, Asto would be able to revive even if he were slashed into tiny pieces. Moreover, right now, he had only been slashed to the extent that his skin and flesh had split open.

“Damn it! I’m going to kill you! This time around, I’ll definitely not let you have the chance to make use of my sword force!”

Just as Asto let out a furious bellow and was about to make his move, Lilia’s cold voice was transmitted into his brain through information currents.

“If I were you, I’d take a look at the words on myself.”

Asto was slightly stunned. Then at the next moment, blood mist sprayed out from all over his body, revealing that densely packed blood writings had been engraved on his body.

On Asto’s chest, there were big characters in the color of blood, ‘Complete Counter of the Swordless Sword’.

It was not that the earlier attacks had not killed Asto, but rather, the intention of the attacks had been to slash through his skin, leaving large carvings of words.

Right now, words had been carved all over his body, writing down the methods on how to neutralize his sword force and the method of countering his Swordless Sword.

In that instant, Asto’s eyes were agape, and he seemed to be at a loss.

He wanted to immediately recover his physical body and kill Lilia.
