442 The color in his eyes (1/2)

”Goodbye forever, Shi Xiaobai.”

The voice that sounded like heavenly bells chiming in the sky echoed. Dawn's figure had already transformed into a flash as she charged at Shi Xiaobai. The Lucifer's Sword in her hand was clenched tightly as it shimmered with a resplendent golden light.

It was as though the first light of dawn had torn through the night sky.

The killing intent that appeared made it a killing move the moment it was produced. The strike was as shockingly fast as before. Not long ago, the young girl, who had used unknown means to disguise herself as a blond youth, had used this strike to behead the giant.

The gigantic head that fell to the ground and the spewing of blood like an erupting volcano was still fresh on the minds of everyone. The thirty-thousand-strong audience felt that it stifling, as if their throats were being clenched. This time, the girl had said the farewell with the words, 'goodbye forever'. It could be considered a warning, but the instant she attacked still caught people off guard because it was too sudden and fast. The audience could not react in time, and their minds were blank.

Would the Infernal King be killed with a single strike like the newly ascended Transcendent King?

The answer was obviously no.

That was because when the girl tore through the darkness like the dawn, Shi Xiaobai had moved as well. He held the sword in his right hand. A pure blackness and flawless whiteness twirled around the blade. A faint blood-red color emerged that seemed like a blooming red lotus in the black and white world. Golden beads of light began to emerge from the ground that swirled around him, as he ran, like they were testy pixies.

Shi Xiaobai charged at the girl with sword in hand. He pushed Crab Steps at the Crest of Perfection level to its fullest and was in no way slower than her. The golden beads of light that came out of the ground augmented the sword and moved along with it. Looking from high up, it was like a shooting star that tore through the night sky.

The resplendent dawn and the shimmering stars did not do anything else but rush straight at each other. Finally, they encountered one another at a particular node of fate.

”Boom!”

This was the first time Lucifer's Sword and the black-and-white sword clashed. There were no sparks, but a clanging explosion.

This was the first time the young boy and girl looked at each other at such a close distance. At the moment that the swords collided, their figures came to an abrupt stop. They were only a meter apart.

At that instant, they spontaneously looked into each others eyes and took a step forward. It was not to send each other retreating at a faster speed, but to see their figures reflected in the respective black and ice-blue irises.

But that instant lasted only a fleeting moment. The clash of power did not reach a balanced standstill. In order to withstand the impact, they needed to once again separate from each other.

Shi Xiaobai retreated a kilometer before before he managed to stop the backwards momentum of that strike.

Dawn did not have that much of an advantage either. She similarly retreated eight hundred meters.

Sunless and company in the distance finally heaved a sigh of relief. Shi Xiaobai had not only withstood that strike which was like a sudden clap of thunder which left no time for one to cover one's ears, he was also able to strike back. Although the final outcome looked as though Dawn held the advantage, it was a negligible advantage.

Dawn quickly retreated before finally coming to a stable stop. For some reason, she had a baffling sense of loss. She suddenly felt that the instant of them looking into each other eyes seemed too short. She failed to see what color she was in his eyes.

She hurriedly puffed and exhaled the baffling feeling out of chest before she looked up to gaze at the black-haired youth eighteen hundred meters from her. At that very moment, golden light that seemed like pixies surrounded him and that black-and-white sword. Even in the day, he was still as blinding as ever.

What color was he in her eyes?
