The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 160 - The Attack Line
Xin Chen originally thought Han Wu was just like a controlled lifeless puppet, yet on second thought how the man attacked, he said, taking a decision and also avoiding every attack that came the man was like having full consciousness. It was impossible for him to be controlled by the figure behind the crow mask, if it was true that even that person was also controlling the Dark Dragon and Qiang Jun at the same time.
The actual Phoenix Steel Pieces that had turned into dangerous weapons had managed to copy the techniques and power that Han Wu possessed, Xin Chen had to be careful this time around. Although he spoke very confidently before but in fact his inner power was currently drained a lot by the red Phoenix Steel. Nausea started to arise afterward, Xin Chen never expected this heirloom to absorb its power far greater than he expected.
Compared to that now Han Wu was still fixated on the heirloom in his hands. Xin Chen hurriedly hid the heirloom in the storage room. The last time he was careless and took out a celestial heirloom like that, he was instantly robbed by another swordsman. Moreover, his opponent this time was Han Wu, if this Steel Phoenix fell in his hands it was certain that his chance of winning was completely non-existent.
This time it was Xin Chen who first attacked, although his power was much smaller than Han Wu but with his smaller body he was able to move more nimble than his opponent. Han Wu followed Xin Chen's movements, knowing full well that fighting style was already ingrained in him.
No matter how predictable the attack Xin Chen was going to use, Han Wu prepared with a counterattack should Xin Chen completely cut off his hand. In fighting Han Wu preferred to decide his opponent's hand so as not to be able to use the sword and only needed to kill him like a forest beast. Attacking vital parts such as the neck and stomach is much more difficult, when fighting these parts are very difficult to attack.
Han Wu now mounted powerful horses, resisting Xin Chen's sword attack and flipping it over. Then launch a counter-attack.
Xin Chen himself would not be able to read Han Wu's movements considering that the Steel Phoenix had already returned to the storage room. He was now charging at Han Wu's shoulder as the man opened such a clear gap, sure enough as his sword slashed at Han Wu's neck almost unhindered.
Until finally Han Wu poured deep power in his sword, making the speed of his hand completely illegible. With such speed and strength even the thick pillars of the palace could be cut like cutting leaves. Not to miss at all, the attack hit Xin Chen squarely on the neck and it should be that by this time his head would be detached from his neck.
"Don't expect me to follow your train of thought."
Xin Chen had just used his true form after successfully using the phantom form, the Blood Ghost Mask was hidden back until it was absolutely necessary.
It was just that having to take out the Blood Ghost Mask his movements were a bit late, a slight scratch slightly deep wounding his neck and dripping blood. Xin Chen held onto her wound.
Han Wu again stood firm, this time his opponent managed to get injured despite only a scrap, the chances of winning were increasingly visible. Even in a short period of time, the situation clearly seems unbalanced.
Until Xin Chen raised his hand, unleashing a blazing blue flame. While busy being wary of the next attack Han Wu was startled with the pain that had been running through his body. Two Fire Immortal swords appeared right down on his chest. Both of them pierced the man's heart.
Han Wu immediately retracted it, he did not feel any pain at all but rather his strength was diminished by the two swords.
While Xin Chen had accounted for Han Wu's movements, he wouldn't underestimate the man. His attention was really focused on this fight, at least so that he did not embarrass himself after he had promised his father.
But it couldn't last long as Han Wu immediately removed the object from his chest, he began to show emotion. His face turned angry.
Xin Chen put on a watchful face, wary of the booming growth of strength within Han Wu's body. Meanwhile as Xin Chen focused his vision, he could see the flow of natural power now moving towards Qiang Jun's body.
Xin Chen's eyes widened, his heart like it was stopped by something when he saw a gigantic-sized natural force surrounding his body, not just from the Fog Forest, that natural force was coming from all over the direction. In another sense the natural forces in this world were now subject to him, the Celestial Emperor.
"So he's what the Lightning Fox means I won't be able to easily defeat him?" his voice was hoarse, the air around him was thinning as Qiang Jun started to re-attack his enemy. A great battle was going on above the sky, neither Qiang Jun nor the Dark Dragon had any intention of letting go of Xin Fai or just giving him time to turn to look at Xin Chen.
"Dad is so great... Will I really be able to surpass it?" It felt too far away to think about it, but his eyes caught Ye Long's figure in the fight. The dragon tried to hold back the Dark Dragon, and the dark dragon did not hurt Ye Long at all.
Meaning it was true that the Dark Dragon was Ye Long's male parent, just that at the same time Ye Long was trying to protect the Dark Dragon when Xin Fai attacked him.
It seemed like Han Wu was reluctant to give him time to turn around, this time the tempo of his movements was twice as vicious as before. Xin Chen held him back in shock, now this man had become more serious than before. Either because it had been too dismissive before, every slash of his sword was now indeed intent on killing Xin Chen.
'Wire if this keeps my life can be depleted by this monster.' once he thought while holding back Han Wu's increasingly cornered move, he could not continue to follow the attack and let himself be injured. Wanting to escape even Xin Chen was sure he would not have time, when he ran away Han Wu's weapon would first cut his body.
"Well if you keep pushing me like this, I'm gonna have to get my flagship gun out!"
Han Wu was a little daunted when she heard him say that with a very, very serious face. He was sure the weapon Xin Chen was referring to was much stronger than the red Phoenix Steel he had seen or the Blood Ghost Mask earlier. Not thinking of releasing Xin Chen, Han Wu continued to attack him in a row.
"Prepare," Xin Chen said getting colder.
"SMOKE BOMB!"
Han Wu was silent, pensive and still sculpting. Xin Chen is gone. That two hundred pieces of silver mainstay weapon was indeed the most terrifying weapon in terms of escaping.
