976 Wuchen Versus Luoyue (1/2)
Seeing that Shi Wuchen had not held anything back in launching his attack, Kong Luoyue rose to the challenge as well. His wrists flicked, the onyx Stealth Marker went up and down respectively and reflected each other's dark gleam; he seemed to have camouflaged himself, blending into the dark, creating a stark contrast against the spreading autumn sky.
The sight was like a ghost melting into the dark night, as natural as nature itself. There were only two ghoulish, glinting specks that seemed like the last embers of the night, blinking and flickering ceaselessly.
Then, Shi Wuchen sprung up with his sword shining in the air. A swathe of autumn chill cut the space open like a gushing waterfall, and as it landed, its speed triggered the wind of fall that billowed across the field.
Halfway through the technique, the sword light turned into an overwhelming autumn rain that showered the ring completely, becoming a wide-ranged mass attack.
There was a saying that real experts could along always tell the truth. The Demiurge-Flawed Ten, who were making noise about eliminating Shi Wuchen from the Nine Supremes, looked serious now that they saw this technique of his. They did not expect Shi Wuchen's swordsmanship to have developed to such an astonishing level, largely exceeding their initial estimations.
The sword intent was brimming. It was at this point that Shi Wuchen finally spoke, ”Kong Luoyue, I'd like to see how many techniques of mine you can take on when you're so full of yourself about having a killer weapon. This is the first sword style of Dreary Misery, Enveloping Fall After Summer. I don't mind telling you, this form is called the Start of Autumn!”
Kong Luoyue maintained a straight face as he turned into a cloudy fog like a ghost, abruptly creating a hundred feet of distance between him and Shi Wuchen. Mist gushed as the two black glimmers of the Stealth Marker raced outwards, transforming into two high and low black rivers midway. The rivers were flowing rapidly, with turbulence chasing after water, and finally, they soared into the sky, blocking the autumn rain and wind like it was retaliating against them.
At the same time, a cold voice rang out. ”The gate of hell opens, the river of darkness flows!”
The rising autumn vibes and the ghoulish fog intensified once more with two soft clangs. For an area of a hundred feet where the pair fought, the forces escalated, covering five hundred feet of space. There was even a green-robed silhouette that sprung up like a projectile.
It was Shi Wuchen, becoming one with his sword, charging towards the clouds with unnatural swiftness.
As Shi Wuchen's sword light shone across the sky, two dots of gleaming light chased from below; it was like two lights of hell that had never gone out flickering in the river of the underworld, looking more intimidating than it had before.
Everyone's attention was on the battling duo. They watched as the escalating sword light unfurled in the sky, turning into dots of stars and falling in a fan-shaped formation. The stars then transformed into a sky full of frost as they fell halfway through!
”Relentless autumn chills, raindrops, and frost! Take this form of mine, White Dew!”
The delivery of another tyrannizing attack caused the dark tidal river of hell to draw back. With a drawn-out howl, Kong Luoyue's dark form shot out like an arrow; he was avoiding the attack at an incredible speed but the two rays of chilling gleams in his hands spun instantly in countering Shi Wuchen's sword style.
”Look back from the Homeward Terrace in Hell!”
”Look back once more!”
”Take a step on the Homeward Terrace and look back thrice!”
The ghoulish Stealth Marker churned continuously and transformed once again into an upward flowing river of darkness. The water was tidal, accompanied by a massive cloud of fog. The overall aura seemed stronger than Shi Wuchen's autumn-styled sword forms.
As they spectated the match, Dong Qitian shook his head and Yun Yang frowned while the eight Demiurge-Flawed looked sympathizing. The winner could already be guessed from here as Kong Luoyue was already on the losing side.
Although the current situation was still stable for the pair, and Kong Luoyue even had a slight upper hand by doing a combination of three forms, what was the actual state of things?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Shi Wuchen had only executed two forms up to now, using Start of Autumn and White Dew of his Tri-Autumn swords art. He had yet to perform techniques in mid-autumn and depth of autumn. Yet, Kong Luoyue had already countered with four forms.
