Chapter 1967: Chapter 1968: Strange Weapon
At this moment, Ye Luo’s attention was on Yun Yin, because Ye Luo discovered that Yun Yin had a mysterious secret!
Yun Yin had always been by Ye Luo’s side, now and before, but strangely enough, even standing next to Ye Luo, no one ever paid attention to her!
If it was because she was a woman and thus ignored, that wouldn’t make any sense!
This is the Martial Realm, where cultivation reigns supreme, and strength holds the highest respect!
It doesn’t necessarily mean that men’s skills are superior to women’s!
Moreover, Yun Yin’s sixth-rank strength was evident to all who had eyes!
However, throughout all this time, no one cared about Yun Yin, which could only suggest that Yun Yin possessed some bizarre and formidable secret technique!
This secret technique could subconsciously cause people to ignore Yun Yin’s presence!
Of course, now was not the time for Ye Luo to ponder this; he turned to look at Du Long in front of him, calculating who he really was!
Ye Luo could naturally see Du Long’s cultivation; purely in terms of cultivation, Ye Luo didn’t need to be too concerned about Du Long, but there was an aura coming from Du Long that made Ye Luo somewhat fearful!
This power was quite peculiar, elusive to Ye Luo’s senses, perhaps just an instinctive intuition telling Ye Luo that the person in front of him was formidable!
Whether it was his own strength or some external force, the one thing for sure was that Ye Luo had to take him seriously!
Du Long saw Ye Luo remaining silent, first glancing at the girl beside him, then sizing up himself.
In Du Long’s eyes, Ye Luo’s behavior was essentially ignoring his existence, which enraged Du Long!
"Boy, you indeed have guts, but who gave you such courage? Hmph, no matter who you are, I have lost my patience! Submit or die!"
Du Long’s voice was deep, with a noticeable trace of anger; was this guy truly angry?
Ye Luo was a bit surprised; it seemed he hadn’t done anything yet?
Of course, regardless of why the other was angry, they were already enemies, with no possibility of reconciliation, so naturally, Ye Luo didn’t care about his thoughts!
Ye Luo casually waved his hand, and the Lingyun Sword appeared in his grasp!
Of course, back at the Mountain Fortress, Ye Luo thought he was destined to lose, so he had once stored Xiao Ling and others into the Divine Kingdom; of course, now, Xiao Ling and the others had each returned to their positions!
As Lingyun Sword emitted a faint glow, it seemed to express Ye Luo’s battle will!
There was no need to explain further; Du Long already understood Ye Luo’s choice!
Du Long gave a disdainful glance at the Lingyun Sword in Ye Luo’s hand, then cruelly smiled: "Since you want to fight, I shall play with you seriously; your sword, seemingly ordinary in material, surprises me by having a remarkable artifact spirit. In this case, Ye Luo, my Ghostly Night shall have a good meal!"
With those words, a longsword appeared in Du Long’s hand, a fiery red, eerie longsword!
From the moment the longsword appeared, it incessantly radiated a stream of red light. It seemed like killing intent, but possibly was another type of power; one thing for sure, this longsword was anything but simple!
The longsword’s design was quite strange, unlike a normal longsword; this Ghostly Night was triangular in shape, without a blade or back, three blades all razor-sharp!
There was no hilt; Du Long didn’t even hold the longsword, seemingly controlling it with his divine sense!
What kind of longsword is this?
To be honest, Ghostly Night’s appearance left Ye Luo rather puzzled or rather curious!
However, at this moment, Du Long had already launched his attack!
No one saw Du Long move, nor the trajectory of the Ghostly Night longsword. In an instant, Ghostly Night had already appeared above Ye Luo’s head!
And it was rapidly crashing down towards Ye Luo!
Without suspense, if pierced by Ghostly Night, Ye Luo would have no chance of survival!
In that instant, the terrifying sense of crisis raised Ye Luo’s hairs on end!
Ye Luo instinctively darted aside rapidly!
All these actions, Ye Luo completed instinctively, without conscious thought. This could be attributed to Ye Luo’s vast combat experience that allowed his body to complete this action instinctively!
If not for Ye Luo’s extensive combat experience, if not for his body’s instinctive evasion, it’s safe to say, Ye Luo would have already perished by now!
But crucially, as Ye Luo dodged, Ghostly Night astonishingly, almost synchronously, appeared above Ye Luo again, its descending path unchanged, still crashing down towards Ye Luo!
The horrifying sense of crisis erupted instantly, seemingly without any warning!
At that moment, Ye Luo finally realized why he felt a sense of unease when encountering Du Long!
Turns out, it all stemmed from this longsword!
But what kind of magical treasure is this?
Leaving aside its power, just its eerie synchronized attack capability made defense nearly impossible!
After all, no matter how you dodge, the longsword can always match your movements!
Damn it!
How can such a weapon exist!
Ye Luo was horrified; moments ago he thought he could defeat Du Long, but upon engagement, he found himself in peril almost immediately!
No, this can’t continue; if this goes on, in no time, Ye Luo will be annihilated by that Ghostly Night longsword!
Ye Luo’s thoughts raced, but in reality, all this occurred in the blink of an eye!
Ye Luo had no time to reflect and instinctively raised the Lingyun Sword to meet the Ghostly Night!
"Crack!"
A crisp sound was heard; the Lingyun Sword temporarily halted the downward speed of the Ghostly Night, but at that moment, the Lingyun Sword developed numerous cracks!
Though not yet destroyed, clearly, if it suffered another such attack, the Lingyun Sword would break!
Ye Luo was horrified; the Lingyun Sword had always been his weapon, and it had always been unstoppable!
Yet today, the Lingyun Sword had been nearly half-destroyed by this eerie weapon!
Ye Luo dared not use the Lingyun Sword to withstand the Ghostly Night again; he knew clearly that if the Lingyun Sword’s body were destroyed, Xiao Ling, as its artifact spirit, would be gravely injured, possibly even destroyed!
