830 The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff 12 (1/2)

The wash of purple seemed to return instantly, returning to its original position in the blink of an eye.

There were only droplets of blood dripping from the pristine blade, like a broken string of crimson pearls, that served as the last witness to the death of the Four Seasons Tower's Seventh Month.

Yun Yang blinked into existence like a spirit, exiting and returning in a flash. His movements took place in the breadth of time it took to snap one's fingers, but the life of an expert was concluded, too, that quickly.

Seventh Month's series of attacks came to an end just as Yun Yang came and went. He had been too greedy, pursuing his opponent, hoping to ride the victorious wave; not only did he not do anything, he ultimately lost his life as well.

The speed of Yun Yang's ambush caused even Mr. Nian, who was watching from the sidelines, to narrow his eyes, his gaze filled with shock. Even when he was in his prime, without an exhausting battle, it would have been punishing to unleash an attack at such speeds. Furthermore, this was during a prolonged battle; it should have been all the more impossible!

How did Yun Yang do it?

Yun Yang had looked like he was on the brink of death. His state was the worse for wear. He was basically in the jaws of death judging by how fatigued he looked. How was it possible for him to maintain such a strong combat force? He had sensed Seventh Month's plan almost immediately as the latter launched his continuous attacks and had immediately counterattacked, terminating him swiftly.

At that moment, Seventh Month's succession of attacks was already formed. Logically, a counterattack was not even expected, yet Yun Yang did it quickly enough that just as the attacking momentum was set but not yet even approaching, he had made a timely retaliatory strike!

What was more terrifying was that Yun Yang could reach Seventh Month in the incredibly short gap and even had the time to execute a complete saber style.

Ultimately, he killed Seventh Month with a complete saber intent!

The more direct observation that could be translated to words was that during the split second when Seventh Month's second chain attack was about to be launched, Yun Yang had stabbed his saber right into Seventh Month's heart before beheading him with another slash, thus ending his opponent's life.

He had displayed speed, strength, a quick reaction, explosive power, and dynamically flawless saber style… None of it was supposed to be demonstrated by someone who was worn out by an extended period of battle.

”Yun Yang has been acting all along! His exhaustion, his frazzled state, him looking like he's on his last legs, they're all a façade!”

Mr. Nian came to a conclusion swiftly, an unbelievable but reasonable conclusion.

At that very moment, regret washed over him like a tidal wave. That was why he kept feeling that something was not right somewhere.

Yun Yang was not at all afraid of or bothered by the depletion tactic he had decided on. In a certain sense, it would seem that they had fallen straight into his counter-strategy. They had waited eagerly for the moment when Yun Yang was thoroughly drained, not knowing that it was the same moment he was anticipating as well because he was also awaiting the instant when they were fully expended!

A cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of Mr. Nian and the handful of men who were besieging Yun Yang. They were antique creatures who had lived through the millenniums. Even when their intelligence lacked compared to Mr. Nian, these men's sense of danger would never go wrong.
