751 A Divine Saber Truth! (1/2)

Reincarnation under the Saber!

What a brilliant and simple meaning this line carried! Whoever you were, however strong you might have been, reincarnate under this saber of mine!

Ling Xiaozui was shocked once again.

Logically, most of the pinnacle forces in this world would have prioritised some semblance of defense and kept only ten to twenty percent of their forces for a counterattack if they were to be met with the savage Upended River of Blood where crimson painted the entire vicinity.

Yet, Ling Xiaozui's skill had allowed him to see through the style before he deflected it. Not only was an offense hidden in his defense, but his parry also was not wholly passive. Once his opponent's attacks became predictable, Ling Xiaozui could launch an attack of his own, using the reserved buffer room and turn his defeat into a victory. It was a wonderful countermeasure.

In spite of such a brilliant countermeasure, it was still within the judgement of the Destiny Blade's creator. Before the Upended River of Blood came to its end, a special whirlpool came into being and thus shaped a bizarre atmosphere that separated the two men.

It caused Ling Xiaozui's subsequent move to be in vain. If he went on with his initial plan and launched a chase at this moment, he would fall into the strange energy field instead and be caught irrecoverable in the trap.

During the same instant when the energy field was formed, Yun Yang's saber struck once again. It overturned the energy field and flowed into a new wave of offensive measures. The magical saber style was predicting the enemy's every move – it was simply mystical!

By then, Ling Xiaozui concluded with his years of combat experience that it was barely possible for whoever facing this strike to escape it unscathed. One could only hope to escape based on their actual cultivation base.

Fighting persistently, however, meant facing an utterly strange and contradicting force field. How could one then perceive the attacker's direction and destination of his blade that was manipulating the force field?

In reality, this was the danger of this style.

Ling Xiaozui let out a howl and spun rapidly. Being unable to parry the style did not mean he had to take it passively. Leveraging on his swiveling speed and intense sword energy, he formed sword mountain that securely defended himself.

This was the best method to rebuff the attack – using the most direct and secure defense. It was also the best way to parry the current strike. There was a precondition, however, that was the opponent must have a much higher cultivation base than the attacker.

Using an ultimate defense that was so passive, the depletion of cultivation base would be far more than that of his opponent's. If both parties had an equal cultivation base, it was absolutely impossible to thoroughly parry this strike!

In simpler words, the defender was fighting solely based on his mightier power!

Dugu Chou, who was the spectator to this match, had his eyes rounded like saucers. Ling Xiaozui had fought this exchange with Yun Yang by suppressing his ability to one that was similarly on par with the latter, but he was already on the losing end within a few exchanges.

One must know that it had only been no more than four exchanges, but Ling Xiaozui had taken the chance to increase his level to manage the situation.

”How could there be such magical saber truth in this world!”

Dugu Chou was musing as he watched from the side. The clarity from the sidelines allowed him to put himself in Ling Xiaozui's shoes. Were there other countermeasures other than Ling Xiaozui's approach to rebut this strike? Upon contemplation, he had to admit that there was truly no second input. Other counterattacks would only put one in a worse state, accelerating one's defeat.

Now that he had witnessed it personally, if he were to go up and face this strike promptly, he would actually make the same move without a second option to consider!
