Chapter 312: Chapter 181: Battle of the Same Tier and Level
Swordsmanship First Form: Sword Rain in the Vast and Misty Space
’His Root Magic reflects the past, creating a perfect Replica of events that have already occurred.’
’It really is Kakashi’s fighting style.’
A four-layered, impossibly dense and unavoidable rain of swords instantly filled the space around the white-haired, red-eyed youth!
BOOM!
SHING!
But another burst of sword-light flared, flashing past in an instant!
It severed all the countless points of sword-light around him in a moment!
The white-haired, red-eyed youth’s eyes turned slightly sharper, losing some of their earlier casual disdain.
"I... underestimated you."
BANG!
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Lu Cang!
Lu Cang didn’t choose to retreat. Instead, he charged forward to kill!
The Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear thrusted straight ahead!
Demon Quenching Technique, Seventh Form: Demon Storage and Killing
Unyielding Battle Intent and Battle Technique of All Transformations Battle Intent surged out together!
At that instant, a trace of doubt flashed through the white-haired, red-eyed youth’s mind.
’Could I lose?’
Swordsmanship Second Form: Heaven and Earth Connecting Line
A One-Line Slash!
SHING!
This single beam of sword-light seemed to slice through heaven, earth, and space itself, dividing everything along its path!
He completely ignored Lu Cang’s combination attack.
Instead, he unleashed a pure, single slash!
This sword strike passed through Lu Cang’s body!
It seemed to have sliced Lu Cang in two!
In fact, it had.
However, at almost the same instant Lu Cang’s body was severed by that line, his flesh—which had been cut into two pieces—had already healed naturally, good as new.
’Such... a powerful slash!’
This was the first time Lu Cang had sustained such a severe injury. He never expected that even with his layers of Shields, the opponent could actually slice him in two with a single horizontal strike.
However, Lu Cang hadn’t taken any real damage!
The white-haired, red-eyed youth, on the other hand, had been stabbed straight in the chest by the War Spear!
BOOM!
Demon Storage and Killing·Source·Penetrating Thunder Burst
The Source was instantly driven into the opponent’s body!
Soul Condensing True Burst (Tier Four) (Level 301)—Sacrifice Soul: 5 Billion
The white-haired, red-eyed youth felt an extremely powerful energy gathering inside his body!
After Lu Cang landed the blow, driving it into his opponent’s body, in that same split second...
He transformed into a streak of light and retreated at extreme speed!
VMMMM—
This was the first time Lu Cang had sacrificed so many souls in a single attack.
This opponent was more troublesome than the War God.
The white-haired, red-eyed youth’s body instantly collapsed inward.
Following that, the space around him...
also collapsed and twisted in an instant!
BOOOM—
Everything contracted, and in the end, all that remained was a deep hole burned into the fabric of space.
Standing in the distance, Lu Cang could no longer sense the opponent’s Qi.
Looking at the aftershocks of the explosion...
Lu Cang muttered to himself, "The Sword Saint Profession really has gotten common."
To think I’d run into three Sword Saints on a single trip to the Forgotten Realm.
That’s more than the number of Divination Masters I’ve met.
It was almost laughable.
But the next second, his Final Sense flared with an extremely intense premonition!
The danger was coming from behind, but his Perception picked up absolutely nothing!
WHOOSH—
Lu Cang’s body immediately transformed into an instantaneous flash of light, pulling away in the opposite direction at extreme speed!
Yet the premonition from his Final Sense remained intense; it felt completely unavoidable!
The first thing Lu Cang thought of was his battle with Leng Qingying.
’An Assassin!’
’It must be an Assassin’s ultimate Mystical Technique. This attack will be impossible to dodge!’
’In that case... I’ll just have to take it head-on!’
"HAAAH!!!"
He let out a Battle Cry! At the same time, he sacrificed souls for Enhancement!
Lu Cang’s entire body took on the appearance of Black Steel Glaze.
At the same time, hundreds of layers of Shields appeared, each one enhanced with a million souls!
A banner appeared above his head!
It shone down upon him!
At the same time, two layers of Armor enveloped him, one inside and one out.
Majestic Armor of Light, Earth-Rooted Battle Armor
Lu Cang planted his feet firmly on the ground!
He was now Unmoving!
The heavy Earth Battle Armor, in its rooted state, boosted all of Lu Cang’s defenses!
BOOM!
But in the next instant, Lu Cang saw with his own eyes as his layers of Shields cracked apart, and a sword pierced through from the front!
Swordsmanship Fifth Form: Heart Rage Sword Drawing Technique·Godslaying
BOOM!
CRUMBLE—
The sword strike broke through layer after layer of Shields, but as each layer was broken, another took its place!
The eight layers of Source transformed into thirty-two layers of incomparably sturdy Root Magic Shields!
Layer upon layer!
After one was shattered, it would immediately regenerate.
It seemed like it only needed to break a hundred layers, but in reality, as the attack pierced through, it was a constant cycle of shattering and regenerating, regenerating and shattering, again and again!
It was on track to break through several thousand layers of Shields in one go!
BOOM!
The furious sword plunged deep!
But by the time it struck Lu Cang’s Armor, its power had completely dissipated.
BOOM!
Only a penetrating force passed through him!
It attempted to shatter Lu Cang’s internal organs.
However, Lu Cang’s Physique was also solid; he only felt a slight tremor within his body.
He suffered no real damage.
"You’re not dead?"
As the opponent voiced their question, more than sixty cages formed in an instant!
Dark Imprisonment Magic, Death Imprisonment Magic, Life Soul Cage, Light Imprisonment Magic, Ice Seal Magic...
SHING!
BANG!
The instant these spells were created, they were shattered!
The white-haired, red-eyed youth instantly retreated into the distance.
He put some distance between himself and Lu Cang.
’Tier Four magic?’
’Why does he know so many Tier Four magic spells?’
Before Lu Cang used this Magic of Imprisonment, he had mostly used Tier Two and Tier Three magic.
Other than that, the only Tier Four magic he had used was that one Penetrating Thunder Burst, and that other spell... the one that was enough to destroy him.
"Speaking of which, your magic is really something else."
The white-haired, red-eyed youth’s tone gradually calmed down, his arrogance receding.
Upon closer inspection, the Magic Shields of this youth with the War Spear were far stronger than ordinary ones.
