453 Is that the real Sunless Ye? (2/2)
This did not mean that Sunless's strength had greatly increased. In fact, it did not have much of an influence. However, it allowed the conversion process of the power of Sword Truth to be even smoother and more efficient. However, it was a curious thought as to why Sunless was able to attain a supra-advancement because it meant that her obsession in Sword Truth was more than twice it was compared to before!
Pulp Farmer had always treated Sunless as an opponent he was chasing after, so he had paid attention to her strength. He could not help but feel shocked, because from what he knew, Sunless, who had good feelings for Shi Xiaobai, had found something she liked other than swords. It was only natural that her obsession in sword techniques would decrease, but not only had her obsession with her path of the sword not decreased, but it had instead increased?
This was the reason why Pulp Farmer had originally viewed Shi Xiaobai as an enemy. He always believed that the youth that caused Sunless to feel infatuated would result in his target becoming weaker.
But the outcome appeared to be completely opposite.
...
As Pulp Farmer was still reeling in his astonishment, Sunless had already traversed tens of kilometers and rushed in front of Field Marshal Awesomo.
Without willing to wait any longer, she chose to directly enter a highly risky melee clash with him.
Her bright eyes were no longer as calm and torpid as they usually were. Her eyes were sharp and ferocious. They were burning with a resolute will.
Her sword was even fiercer.
The amber-colored halo shattered as the silver sword slashed out fiercely. The sword had abandoned any flashiness in its moves. The strikes were simple and direct, which made them extremely brutal.
In a real life-and-death battle, any superfluous sword techniques would end up being burdensome. It would create unnecessary lag or flaws. As such, simple and brutal sword techniques might lack beauty to them, but they were the most pragmatic sword techniques for killing.
The silver sword slashed out countless sharp sword beams, like countless red lotus blooming!
Field Marshal Awesomo's eyes flashed a look of surprise, but his expression remained calm. He took a step forward and it was unknown when a crimson-colored battle axe appeared in his hand. He used a similarly simple and brutal manner to cleave down at the sword beams!
The crimson-colored battle axe shattered the void as web-like spatial rifts began moving forward like a sonic wave!
”Boom!”
The impact between the two forces shattered the void around them. Large cracks began to appear in the ground with Sunless and Field Marshal Awesomo being the epicenter. Dust was stirred up as they filled the sky with dust storms.
That was only the beginning to their release of power. Sunless's next strike had already come slashing down. She only retreated a step back to withstand the blast that resulted from the clash.
That strike was as simple and brutal as before, but its ferocity was even more intense than before.
Field Marshal Awesomo did not panic as he lifted his battle axe in a composed manner to parry the strike.
However, Sunless' figure had instantly appeared behind Field Marshal Awesomo. A sharp sword beam seemed to tear the heavens asunder.
Field Marshal Awesomo pricked up his eyebrows, but he did not turn around, much less turn his head. He gave a deep growl as the skin on his back was covered with a bronze layer of light. When the sword beam struck it, other than producing a clang, it did not manage to slice open a wound.
This move was similar to Psionic Hardening, but the defensive strength was on a completely different level.
Sunless had activated the power of her Sword Truth and even chosen the most brutal sword techniques of massacring to push her strength to its maximum. Yet, it could not tear through Field Marshal Awesomo's hide that was augmented by the bronze hardening.
But even so, her amber eyes did not seem disheartened at all.
Sunless flashed her feet once again before slashing her sword once again. No, because another strike had slashed in another direction once again almost at the same instant.
She had realized that her strength was insufficient to crack Field Marshal Awesomo's defenses, so she chose a strategy to quickly inhibit his defenses.
The thirty-thousand-strong audience were once again astounded. Above the vast and empty land, the azure-dressed girl was moving extremely quickly, leaving behind azure shadows in her wake. At the same time, quick and fierce shadow beams slashed in every direction at Field Marshal Awesomo. He was repressed to the point of not being able to move from his sport, while his bronze-colored skin flashed on every part of his body. However, he eventually could not keep up with the girl's speed. Slowly, deep lacerations were sliced through his body!
Field Marshal Awesomo roared angrily. His strength and defenses were rather astounding, but he was helpless against Sunless's simple, brutal and precise sword techniques!
The quiet sword fanatic was roaring with her soul!
At that moment, the azure-dressed beautiful girl was no longer that azure-colour that remained composed even in a storm. Instead, she was the surging storm itself.
”Hey, is that the real Sunless Ye?”
Speechless, who was stupefied from seeing the situation in front of him, clicked his tongue and said, ”Why is it completely different from what the rumors say about her?” IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
