509 Stunning Sword Strike! (2/2)
Therefore, Jun Mo Xie was very confident!
Even the greatest assassin of this generation — Chu Qi Hun — couldn't have produced such a divine sword attack.
This sword-attack was the absolute best any assassin could achieve!
This sword-attack was akin to a legendary strike for any assassin!
This was a sword-attack which would deliver a fatal blow, and kill for certain!
Not only would it chop at its target — it would chop them to extinction!
Mei Xue Yan was standing afar, and was observing everything. So, she had obviously seen that splendidly shining sword-attack. It had reached the pinnacle of skill. That breath-taking sword-attack had left her amazed. But, it had also left her to feel somewhat ashamed. She implored herself, and realized that even she wouldn't have been able to exploit this opportunity with such perfection.
[That Jun Mo Xie's swordsmanship… or specifically… his assassination swordsmanship has surprisingly reached a level of such wondrous perfection!] However, a doubt also emerged in her mind; [This brat is an assassin by his very nature… Or, he's a born-assassin…]
[Otherwise, how could a brat who is not even eighteen years old be capable of issuing such a perfectly resplendent sword-attack? Even the people who possess hundreds of years of cultivation won't be able to hide from such a sword-attack despite having reached the Great Master Level of above.] Venerable Mei — the most powerful individual from Tian Fa — also felt somewhat inferior to that sword attack.
[Don't tell me that he can kill a Great Master Level exert by using his mere Sky Xuan strength?]
[However, this is happening right now in front of everyone present!]
Huang Tai Yang's toes hadn't touched land at this moment. However, his toes could feel the approaching ground. It was close; there was only a tiny gap in between.
But, that tiny gap seemed a world away!
The entire body seemed like a tilting candle that was trying its hardest to fall down. In fact, he had exhaled the air he had just gasped in, and was waiting take another gulp in order to escape. But, it was in that tiny space of time that this killer sword-attack had suddenly made its appearance.
This space of time was infinitely subtle, but it was enough for this deadly sword-attack!
Huang Tai Yang issued a shriek of despair. He didn't even have the time to think about making his escape at this time since this sword was about to strike him in a moment. His body faced upwards with the final burst of strength. He hit his chest with his fist, and sent the aura in his dantian shaking. This instantly aroused the last remnants of aura within his body. Then, a column of blood rushed forth from his mouth, and shot towards the attacking sword like a javelin.
He knew that would lose the greater part of his Xuan strength because of this move he was making. In fact, he would never be able to restore his strength to its current peak even after his injuries had been cured. But, he had no choice in the matter.
That was because this was the only way he could save his life. After all, a big hole would be pierced into his throat if he didn't do this. What would be better — losing half of his life's worth of cultivation, or losing his life? Even a three year old child could answer this. And, this was Huang Tai Yang — a man who cherished life very dearly. A hope of living-on is often the greatest desire of old men. He had already lived two for over two-hundred years, but he wanted to live for two-hundred more.
He still hadn't enjoyed the beautiful things of life to his heart's content. He still wanted to maintain the pinnacle of his glory. Therefore, he had preferred to cripple himself if could somehow escape with his life!
After all, one needn't worry about fire-wood as long as the forests are around!
The sword-light had approached so close that it had even incited a knot of cold inside Huang Tai Yang's neck!
The blood-arrow suddenly shot forth. It passed the sword-light, and went towards Jun Mo Xie. However, the Young Master merely tilted his head. The blood arrow nearly hit his ear. It then went whooshing by the sides of his temple, and sent his hair flowing. Then, it flew into the empty sky!
However, Huang Tai Yang had managed to distance his body from that deadly sword-attack in this brief moment that wasn't even enough to blink one's eyes. But, his body was still dropping to the ground. His toes eventually reached the ground as his body descended. However, they faltered. Therefore, his heels hit the ground with such force that lots of dirt was stirred upwards. This dirt then shot towards Jun Mo Xie and Huang Tia Yang's body like numerous concealed weapons as the old man's body glided on the ground at a very sharp speed. In fact, the reactionary effect his body produced against the ground was similar to the one produced by a sword fish gliding through the water's surface…
His back pressed tightly against the ground as his body went sliding.
This sliding motion exhausted the remaining of Huang Tai Yang's strength as slid to nearly one-fifty meters on his back. In fact, he had slid so fast on his back that the friction produced against the ground had resulted in a strange green smoke. His skin had been scorched as a result, and was emitting a strange smell at this time.
That extreme speed of sliding had scorched the skin on his back…
He wasn't thinking about where he was sliding to at this time. In fact, he wasn't thinking of anything. The old man was only shooting backwards like an arrow. Then, there was a ”Bang!” since a wall collapsed as his head hit the Jun Family's boundary wall. He left a huge gap in the wall after hitting it. Then, he went 'whooshing' further into the Jun Family's courtyard.
