Chapter 758: Lanis Battle (2/2)

*Vup!*

Lani disappeared from his position using Spatial Laws before appearing right behind Taxin.

”Is that so?”

Lani's Staff transformed into hundreds of afterimages as all of them hit Taxin simultaneously.

*Bang!*

However, Taxin didn't even move. He just looked back at Lani with a smile as if Lani hasn't done anything at all.

”Impressive movement technique. You are faster than most of the opponents I've seen in the past. Unfortunately, it's also possible to use Sword Laws to protect oneself. As for someone who has reached Sword Assimilation, it also becomes something instinctive.”

*Za!*

Suddenly, Taxin moved as he attacked Lani as well. Immediately, Lani and Taxin exchanged thousands of attacks in a single moment.

*Boom!*

The exchange was over as fast as it started. In the end, Lani was forced to retreat as several parts of his robe seemed to have been slashed. However, that was all. Although it was possible to see his skin under the cuts on the robe, there were no injuries.

Still, Lani couldn't help but praise his opponent.

”Really impressive. I was only barely able to avoid your attacks. The really frightening thing is how impossible it is to perceive it with either Divine Sense or the naked eye.”

However, Taxin was even more surprised than Lani.

”The real impressive one here is you. I thought I wouldn't find anyone capable of contending against me in the Lower Realms anymore. Oh, right! What's your name?”

”Lani Gobel.”

Taxin nodded.

”Lani Gobel. It's not that my Sword Arts is invisible. It's just that they have surpassed the level of what can be displayed in the Lower Realms. That's why it looks like they are invisible. It's also the same reason why people started to call me Phantom Blade. If we were in the Godly Path Realm, you would definitely be able to see it with your Divine Sense. Still, you're obviously seeing them here. How?”

Lani smiled before saying.

”Unfortunately, that's a little secret.”

There is no way Lani would talk about the Soul Cultivation Technique. He knew very well just how problematic it would be if others found about it.

Taxin didn't seem to care, though. Everyone had their own secrets. That was normal.

”It's okay. It has been a long time since I had this much fun. Make sure to not hold back because I'll increase my speed and power now.”

Right after seeing that, Taxin flashed in Lani's direction. Sure enough, he was at least twice as fast now. However...

*Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...*

*Crash!*

The one who was sent back retreating this time wasn't Lani, but Taxin instead. Everyone watching the battle opened their eyes wide. They couldn't even see Taxin's movements at all. However, not only did Lani see it, but he even won the exchange just now.

It was then that they noticed something different about Lani this time. His entire body was covered in pitch-black energy. When their Divine Senses touched it, all they could tell was that they could feel the presence of all primary elements in that.

Elements Regulation Technique, Culmination!

Lani fused the laws and elements together, which obviously created that black color. Krune also had the same result when he did it. However, Krune would only need one glance to tell that Lani's proficiency was heads and tails above his own. Well, Krune was still in the Advanced Stage of the technique while Lani had already fully comprehended it.

As mentioned before, you can fuse all five primary elements and laws together. At the same time, you can select which element and laws will have priority in that fusion. Lani had just used the Lightning Element and Laws to achieve a speed even greater than Taxin.

Of course, he wouldn't be able to be this fast in the past. It was all thanks to the Chaos Meridians and Mental Energy perception that he was able to reach this level. Just the Elements Regulation Technique wouldn't be enough to deal with Taxin.

”Only twice as much your original speed and strength? That's far from enough.”

Taxin's eyes shone after seeing that.

”Hahaha! Just where the hell have you been all this time? No, forget it! Let's enjoy this moment!”

And just like that, Lani and Taxin began to get serious.
