Chapter 384: Falls Style (1/2)
Jilniya's eyes narrowed. ”You overestimate yourself.”
What happened next was so sudden that no one could have expected it. It was hard to imagine that beauty who elicited the feeling of care and protection in them all would suddenly surge forward and attack without warning.
In one instant, Jilniya was like a delicate flower in a vase. In the next, she was a pouncing panther, her slender legs exploding with undeniable power and strength.
The Sword Monstress responded as quickly as it seemed humanly possible, raising her sword like a shield across her body.
Jilniya's palm shot forward like a venomous serpent, slamming against the spine of the great sword.
BANG!
The Sword Monstress' body convulsed. It was just a single palm, but it felt as though she had been hit three times continuously.
A surge of concentric wind ricocheted off the side of her sword, sending her sliding across the ground.
Jilniya didn't seem intent on stopping, her beautiful eyes remaining indifferent as she shot forward again.
Her movements gave one the illusion of rushing water. It had an undeniable forcefulness, but also hid a fluidity and flexibility that accentuated the curves of a woman.
BANG!
A second palm descended. This one was several times stronger than the previous. Rather than carrying three layered strikes, this one carried four.
This time, the Sword Monstress lost her footing. Unable to slide along the ground anymore, she stumbled backward and got tossed off her feet.
Jilniya's attack was relentless.
Any veteran of battle knew that whoever gained an initiative would hold an upper hand. If one managed to keep this advantage, victory would only be a matter of time.
However, it soon became very clear that Jilniya didn't need the initiative to claim victory. Whether it was speed, strength, or ability, she surpassed this cloaked figure by not just a single level.
This left those watching baffled. They had thought that this cloaked figure would have a high level of skill after daring to offend two Heirs. Yet, it seemed that when comparing whether this woman was brave or foolish, it was most likely the latter.
Wilas felt his anger dissipate. What a waste of emotions. He couldn't believe he wasted time getting angry at a person so far beneath him.
'It seems that Jilniya gained an inkling of comprehension toward her Falls Style… Couple that with her ability and she truly would be too troublesome to deal with.'
Every time Jilniya attacked, it was as though three, four, five and sometimes even six of her were assaulting the same person all at the same time.
Her heart couldn't help but be filled with disdain.
'Just die.' She thought coldly.
She didn't know who this person was, but she had truly never met anyone more foolish.
Thanks to the times, this Sword Monstress had already been lucky enough to escape the clutches of her Power. Yet, instead of accepting this bout of good fortune, she actually dove right back into the lion's den.
Jilniya's palm shot toward the Sword Monstress' head.
