Chapter 537 Expedition (1/2)
Wuding did not care for whatever ideas that Lei Jing had in mind. Like a cascade, the starlight scattered down. With all his power, he sped up the Flying Star Incantation and absorbed all the starlight and moonlight. His body was originally exhausted of mana but he was quickly recuperating. The sharp chirping sounds of the Swallow gradually grew more piercing to the ears. This would surely cause Lei Jing to be unable to do her summoning of wind and rain.
Lei Jing rose into the air. Her beautiful eyes showed indifference and she lifted her head to look up at the galaxy. The sleeves of her robe moved gently and a zither appeared in her hands. The strings of the instrument were abundant and complicated and its body contained numerous winding patterns. The lines on the instrument were remarkable.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
With Lei Jing's beautiful fingers plucking at the strings, there were mysterious voiceless sounds akin to the relaxed chant of the wind or the symphony of golden jade. It cannot be felt or seen but it touched the laws of nature.
At that instant, the galaxy shone with immense brightness. Boundless starlight headed towards Lei Jing and spilled onto her. It became the projection of the galaxy's virtual shadow. Lei Jing stood atop the galaxy and looked much like the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens.
The onlookers were only able to see the projection of the galaxy wounding all around Lei Jing. Wuding was the only person who could properly experience the fact that he might need to face the most challenging and perilous situation in the entirety of the battle.
In his chest, he could feel an overwhelming sword will, the sword pressure akin to the magnificence of the Asura Blood Sea. This made him feel suffocated.
Lei Jing's musical strumming was not only mysteriously heart-warming. In reality, it was the manifestation of the laws of the galaxy. Immediately after it was unleashed, an attack of the sword will follow suit, constantly breaking the spiritual response of the interaction of Gods and humans.
The sword will was unique and it was not something that Lei Jing could comprehend by herself. Nonetheless, since the situation had reached the present stage, there was no use in contemplating all these.
No one knew how long the galaxy had been in existence. For it to come together, it would not only be like an endless torrent but also incapable to be stopped. All the more reasons that it could not be restrained. The sword will passed through and it was as though the void was wiped clean and it could no longer bear any impurities.
There were layers upon layers of the mysterious music that caused the galaxy to move. As if without cessation, each note went one step higher than the previous. Bit by bit, Wuding's spiritual response of the interaction of Gods and humans was weakened.
It took only three breaths for the Swallow power that Wuding drew in with his mark to suffer three layers of weakening.
As for the fact that he actually felt a slight helplessness, if he knew the situation would come to this, mere reliance on his state would already have been insufficient for him to strive against Lei Jing. Though he did not let thoughts of winning or losing occupy his mind, he had no intention of merely forfeiting the battle just like that. Hence he shouted, ”Mister Jing, accept another slash from my knife. Regardless of the outcome, I, Wuding will step down gracefully.”
Lei Jing's cold and quiet eyes glanced at Wuding. She appeared to nod slightly and softened the music. It was considered as a response to Wuding's words. Her actions represented the fact that victory was within her grasp and she also managed to show off her Master's tolerance and elegant demeanor which was really applauded by others.
After Wuding received Lei Jing's answer, he retracted the mark. Every single strand of his hair, from head to toe erected with a killing Qi that shot through the air and caused the stars to move.
When the killing Qi finally took on shape, it was a blade gleam that was sharp beyond comparison, brighter than the stars in the sky. As soon as it appeared, it was suspended in the air and lighted the entirety of the surroundings, abundant with radiance. People were almost unable to blink.
Eventually, he realized that some things were exclusive only to him. Those things would not be wiped out by Lei Jing's Milky Way sword will. They were also Wuding's last chance at a counterattack. Once the knife was deployed, he did not have any remaining power. That was the reason for his words of surrender.
Being forced into grasping for life signaled his defeat. In the end, the only way of measuring the competition was winning or losing, not life or death.
Lei Jing's body continued to be encircled by the galaxy. It was continuous, unbroken, and surged incessantly. The blade gleam took on a shape and with the speed of an arrow that was launched from a bow, a slice of the knife appeared. As if with the moon that had yet to fully wax, it plunged into the crowd.
The knife sliced the water!
The continuous, unbroken, and incessant virtual shadow of the galaxy lost its state of endless growth after being severed by Wuding's sword gleam. As it turned out, Wuding proved to be the absolute higher person of innate skill that received Shen Lian's imperial command. His knife techniques had already incorporated Dao and once the blade gleam was unleashed, it successfully cut into the small cracks of the galaxy in one swift move.
