Chapter 368: Vayu Unsheathed

Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_

The House of Li had been feeding on the leftovers of Li Feng's achievement for too long, and it was time for a new order.

Ten seconds had passed, and the battled had ended.

”Brother Gong-son, why are you in such a hurry? Let me enjoy your power for a bit longer.”

With a wave of loud cracking noise, the ice shattered and revealed Li Shiming, who was unharmed. A few strands of loose hair were hanging over his forehead.

”It was a powerful attack! I can tell that the mastery has improved significantly over the years. I should congratulate you on that!”

Seeing that Li Shiming was unharmed by his coup de grace, Gong-son Wuce's face suddenly paled. He had never fought anyone who used the tactics of Vayu before, and his experience so far had confirmed that all the rumors about its power were true.

”Brother Gong-son, is there anything else up your sleeve? I am eager to learn more about the power of mastery.”

”Hehe, I am impressed by the Tactics of Vayu as well. You can count that previous attack as a warm-up. Now comes the real deal.”

”Enlighten me, please.” Li Shiming gestured the Ivantian to proceed. However this time, his tone was much more humble than it was earlier. He wagered that without the protection of the tactics of Vayu, that ice dragon strike would have gravely wounded him.

Gong-son Wuce threw the blade into the air and the steel blade somehow magically floated above his head. Although many other fighters had done it, a floating sword was rather useless in a real battle. However, as everyone had suspected, the Ivantian didn't do this just for show.

Standing below the blade, Gong-son Wuce shifted through a dozen hand signs, and the flying sword started to tremble violently. The air around the sword also moved about wildly, whizzing against the sharp edges. In a blink, the blade was covered by frost, and then the frost turned into crystal clear ice.

Li Shiming knew that this sword was more than just an ordinary sword coated with a layer of ice. It was infused with GN force with the cold elemental attribute. Li Shiming was not unfamiliar with GN force attributes, since the Tactics of Vayu had a unique attribute as well.

Gong-son didn't give Li Shiming much time to admire his techniques, as he commanded the blade to whiz through the air at Li Shiming. The lightning speed of the sword suggested that the bond between Gong-son and his blade was no ordinary soul energy connection.

”Zing!”

The icy blade traveled though Li Shiming's body as if it went through thin air—An illusion?

It was not an illusion. Li Shiming simply evaded the attack with an incredible speed that was faster than what naked eyes could see. People had forgotten that the Tactics of Vayu was once crowned the fastest tactics.

Gong-son Wuce didn't give up as he commanded the blade to follow its target. With all the concentration he could muster, the Ivantian could barely keep up with Li Shiming.

Suddenly, Li Shiming turned around and charged at Gong-son Wuce like a phantom. Gong-son Wuce had anticipated this surprise attack, and with a wave of a hand, a row of solid ice materialized in front of him. Carried by his momentum, Li Shiming was not able to stop. But, instead of ramming into the wall, he ran up along the ice.

It took Li Shiming only a fraction of a second to adjust his movement, and a deadly ice blade was only inches away from him already. Even as Li Shiming hurried to outrun the ice blade, Gong-son Wuce fed another wave of GN force into the weapon, increasing its speed.

So far, no one other than Gong-son Wuce had been able to force Li Shiming into such a tight corner.

”Zing...Bamm!”

The ice blade racked open and was shattered into thousands of fragment. The blade that took Gong-son Wuce three years to perfect had been reduced into a pile of frosty dust on the ground.

Despite feeling pity for the loss of a powerful weapon, Gong-son Wuce was not surprised at all.

Finally, Li Shiming had unsheathed the legendary weapon, the sword of Vayu.

Holding the slender sword, Li Shiming landed gracefully back to the ground ”Brother Gong-son, as you wished, I have drawn my sword. Don't disappoint me.”

Standing confidently on the stage, Li Shiming seemed to have transformed into an entirely different person. He was no longer the heir of House of Li, but rather seemed like the heir of the entire world.

Sensing the sudden surge of power in his opponent, Gong-son Wuce was as excited as he was afraid. He figured that it would worth it even if he were defeated by the legendary blade of Vayu.

The Ivantian crossed his hands and started to chant. Two ice blades appeared from behind his shoulders out of nowhere. In a blink, the two blades whizzed at Li Shiming with incredible speed.
