446 The unverified savage history (1/2)
Everyone immediately felt perplexed, but they felt that Speechless was not a person who would lie. Mu Yuesheng was the first to speak. ”Why do you say so? With the current situation, isn't Shi Xiaobai holding the advantage? They should be well-matched in strength at the very least, right? To end the battle in an instant is too...”
When Mu Yuesheng said to that point, she felt that Speechless's point of view was pushing it too far. That was because she absolutely refused to believe that Shi Xiaobai could be one-shot.
”Stupid!”
Speechless grunted and said, ”Don't any of you realize that...the Hero King has yet to use her power of Sword Truth? She has been using Sword Intent to match Shi Xiaobai's Sword Truth! Now it seems like they are equally matched to the point of Shi Xiaobai taking a slight advantage, but what if the Hero King suddenly activates the power of Sword Truth? Do you understand? The Hero King has enough chips in hand that she can instantly tip the balance!”
Speechless' words immediately jolted everyone awake. They turned and realized that the pathetically retreating Hero King had not used her power of Sword Truth. In contrast, Shi Xiaobai had activated the power of his Sword Truth from the very beginning. And he had not deactivated it at all!
The power of Sword Truth was to convert mental energies and willpower into physical and substantial strength to augment oneself. The cost of activating it was extremely draining on one's mental energies!
How long has Shi Xiaobai had it activated? After having his Sword Truth mode activated for so long, it was likely that his mental energies were already completely drained!
As for the Hero King, she was in a completely different situation. She had yet to activate the power of her Sword Truth from the moment she began fighting Shi Xiaobai. Once she activated it, or if Shi Xiaobai finally could not continue having his Sword Truth activated, or if both things happened simultaneously, the scales of victory will tip to one side!
Mu Yuesheng anxiously asked, ”Why, why hasn't the Hero King activated her power of Sword Truth? Going easy? Battle strategy? Or is it...because the Hero King has used the power of Sword Soul not long ago, so her mental energies are already drained?”
Speechless shook his head and said, ”Not at all. It is indeed very draining to activate the power of Sword Soul, so there is no way to use it consecutively in a short period of time. However, it is not sufficient to completely drain the Hero King of her mental energy. And with the Hero King's endurance technique, her mental energies must be constantly recovering. Now, she is probably quickly recovering to the point where she can use the power of Sword Soul again. She can definitely afford the expenditure of the power of Sword Truth, but she did not choose to do so. It's not because she's going easy on Shi Xiaobai or because it's a battle strategy. Instead, it's because her Sword Truth is—Massacre!”
When Sunless heard that, her pupils constricted slightly as a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
Mu Yuesheng did not know much about Sword Truths so she immediately asked puzzledly, ”What does that mean?”
Speechless considered his words before saying, ”If it's said that Sword Intent is an intent a swordsman imbues his sword techniques with, then Sword Truth is a swordsman's...obsession! A particular obsession will be the so-called Sword Truth. For example, Miss Sunless Ye, everyone knows she's a famous sword fanatic. She is deeply engrossed when it comes to swords, so when she comprehended her Sword Truth, Fanaticism is her obsession! The deeper her fanaticism is, the deeper her obsession is, which would make the power of her Sword Truth even more powerful! Everyone's obsession is different, so the Sword Truth one comprehends would always be different. And the Hero King's obsession is...massacring!”
Mu Yuesheng said in shock, ”Why would the Hero King's obsession be massacring!?”
