Chapter 60: Bodhi in One Hand, Sword in the Other
“What’s happening?”
Suddenly, a dazzling silver-white light emanated from her pocket. Su Jiu’s pupils trembled slightly as she discovered a silver-white short sword, carved with intricate patterns, rushing towards her and hovering silently in the air.
“Did E Huo transform into Warrior Class in advance?”
The white blade was etched with intricate inscriptions on both sides, emitting a strange aura. White mist floated around, resembling frost blossoms but not quite, yet it gave Su Jiu a sense of familiarity.
“Go forth, let me witness your true abilities…”
E Huo’s voice suddenly echoed again, this time sounding different from usual. It was a peculiar tone, a cold maiden’s voice like a sharp blade, but it gradually became ethereal, its source ultimately indistinguishable.
“Is that E Huo? That voice just now?”
Su Jiu slowly reached out and grasped it. An indescribable power surged into her arm. White airflow rushed out in all directions, ruffling her hair.
In the next moment, Su Jiu found a complex patterned silver gauntlet appearing on her right hand, extending all the way to her elbow. It gave her an oddly light yet secure feeling.
“This… is it an integrated armor? Something only descendants of War God Level possess.”
In an instant, that feeling of shared blood ties permeated her body. Su Jiu’s eyes widened, and she felt as if she had swung this sword countless times before.
Su Jiu’s aura became peculiar, exuding a sense of isolation and weathered experience. She seemed like a swordsman from ancient times who only learned one sword per year, drawing blood with every strike.
Is this a Beast Soldier? Or perhaps…
Su Jiu’s mind recalled the maiden’s voice from earlier, that strange tone. This should be the language of some high-level race. In novels, some high-level demonic creatures could inherit information.
Subsequently, they would bring various buffs to their masters. These buffs were incredibly varied; the stronger the race, the greater the buff.
“I’ll think about it later. For now… the game has just begun.”
Su Jiu took a deep breath, feeling the power surging through her. She looked ahead, a confident smile gracing her lips.
Sharing the ownership of a Beast Soldier, she, Su Jiu, was not inferior to anyone!
“A Beast Soldier with integrated armor.”
Lin Feng stopped, his gaze resting on the short sword in Su Jiu’s hand with a hint of surprise. He wasn’t afraid. In his eyes, Su Jiu was already exhausted.
“I didn’t expect you to be a descendant of a Big Shot… But, does it matter? It’s only just reached Warrior Class, how many of my shots can it block?”
A cruel smile then appeared on his lips. He shouted and raised his spear, slashing downwards. Golden light enveloped the spear tip, like a submerged dragon rising to counterattack.
“Hoo!”
Su Jiu dodged the spear’s strike like a startled rabbit. The next moment, she crouched and charged forward, her short sword moving like a dancing dragon, aimed directly at Lin Feng’s throat.
Precise and seasoned!
Having learned from the previous encounter, Lin Feng no longer dared to underestimate her. He swept his spear horizontally to block, his years as a Dragon Hunter not being in vain!
Although he lacked prior accomplishments, his fundamentals were more solid than many others.
“Clang clang clang!”
Under the clash of spear and sword, they exchanged dozens of blows.
“Why? Zhou (Female, refers to Zhou Zhizhi)!”
Lin Feng’s face revealed fear. He realized that with his full effort, he could barely block the incoming sword light. The opponent’s moves were getting faster and more seasoned.
If before it felt like fighting a ferocious beast, now he felt like he was dueling a master swordsman, where every sword light could be his last.
Moreover…
Lin Feng looked down at the spear in his hand and saw white marks etched onto it. Most incredibly, he felt his Beast Pet’s life force continuously draining away.
It was as if it were being severed inch by inch.
Weird!
“Clang!”
Seeing the white sword light approaching again, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and met it head-on. Although the opponent’s power hadn’t increased significantly, the extremely high proficiency in swordsmanship was truly bizarre!
Before long, facing the dense onslaught, sweat beaded on his forehead. He felt completely suppressed, and if he didn’t use his full strength, he would be in trouble.
Thinking this, he shifted his grip. The spear in his hand moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, intending to send Su Jiu flying as before.
“Roar!”
A massive tearing sound echoed again.
Su Jiu smiled calmly. She twirled the short sword in her hand, unleashing streaks of sword flowers. That familiar instinct told her that this was how she could repel the opponent.
“Chi!” “Chi!”
As expected, with E Huo’s amplification, the power of the Drawn Blade cut was more than double its previous strength. Countless black and crimson sword energies struck the dragon’s head like clubs. After a few blocks, the dragon could only meet its end in regret.
“Clang clang clang clang!”
Sparks flew with the collision of spear and sword. A series of sounds like sonic booms formed waves of air, directly blowing away the surrounding tents.
From a distance, Zhang Xinyu, who had turned back to look, witnessed a scene that shocked her immensely – Su Jiu was dominating her superior. The sword lights continuously struck Lin Feng like white satin.
At this moment, Zhang Xinyu felt an unprecedented surge of excitement. A Warrior suppressing a Battle General, even if the latter had just advanced, she was a Silver Dragon Hunter!
Is this you, Su Jiu!
A talent that stands out is bound to be assailed by the wind, so she constantly hid her true abilities.
Moreover, between their spear and sword lights, there was a unique charm, like a master instructing an apprentice who only possessed brute force. Su Jiu merely tapped her thin sword, and Lin Feng had to expend immense effort to decipher it.
Within just a few breaths, Lin Feng’s face and body were covered in piercing sword marks. His face turned pale, and he frantically retreated backward.
“Boom!” A few more sword qi attacks came.
As dust obscured their vision, the two figures continued their battle. Amidst the spear and sword light, and the yellow and white lights, a faint hint of green flashed, difficult to trace, but one side had already lost.
“Time to go.”
Su Jiu’s white sword was coated with a faint frost blossom. She looked at Lin Feng, who was trying to create distance, and said without emotion.
Su Jiu lowered her body, instantly appearing beside him. The short sword in her hand was already emitting a dense cold; this was the charge-up state for Drawn Blade cut!
“Fatal!”
Lin Feng’s heart was filled with dread. He quickly raised the now dull-colored spear to shield himself.
“Bang!”
A violent metallic impact resounded. He felt his hand go numb, followed by a coldness!
An unprecedented cold!
At this moment, the blade, wrapped in frost blossoms, shattered the spear directly. His Beast Pet didn’t even have time to return to the Spiritual Space. A warm stream of blood splattered onto both of their faces.
A severed yellow python dragon fell with a “splat!” to their sides, and the frost quietly froze the exits of its two halves.
Then another “splat!” sounded. The short sword, carrying the frost’s chill, attacked like a startled bird, piercing his throat directly, without blood spurting.
The frost solidified the blood spurting from his neck.
Lin Feng’s eyes held disbelief. How could her newly advanced Warrior Class Beast Soldier have cut his spear? And even more incredulously, why did she still have so much strength to fight?
It wasn’t until his dying glimpse of the green light on Su Jiu’s left hand that his eyes bulged!
Healing Technique?!
Coach, this person is cheating!
And Lin Feng never used the alchemical equipment on his body until his death.
Without paying any more attention to Lin Feng’s corpse, Su Jiu breathed heavily and slumped onto the grass. After a few minutes, she looked at the short sword in her hand with surprise.
“E Huo, why can you enter Warrior Class in advance?”
A soft voice echoed in Su Jiu’s mind, but the other party’s words chilled her heart, “Mama, run quickly, a big guy is coming.”
“Big guy?” While Su Jiu was confused, she suddenly found the space beside her darkening, the moonlight obscured. She looked up.
“Roar!”
A Wild Plains Lion, as large as a small mountain, gazed down with its single eye. Purple flames were continuously condensing in its mouth, and its target was Su Jiu.
