Chapter 2551: Chapter 2552: A Born Nemesis
However, Xiao Yijian didn’t find anything funny about it, and still stared at Ye Luo like a venomous snake.
"No matter who you are, you must die today!"
Ye Luo nonchalantly looked at him, "Didn’t you just say you won’t use a second sword today? Plus, I can’t afford such a high price for that second sword!"
Xiao Yijian narrowed his eyes, completely ignoring Ye Luo’s words, and thrust his sword forward.
An assassin must strike unexpectedly; just when everyone thought he would argue, he made a bold move.
Moreover, this sword was even more silent and seamless than the last, giving a sense of natural perfection!
Ye Luo narrowed his eyes, realizing this sword was imbued with a kind of Dao, an extremely subtle Dao. Although Ye Luo couldn’t sense exactly which Dao it was, it was certainly related to assassination!
No wonder he became the top assassin of the Space-Time Channel; this type of assassination Dao is extremely rare even in the entire Martial Realm.
Standing there, Ye Luo was completely sealed by this sword, blocking all paths to survival. This strike could definitely be considered a fatal blow from the most terrifying master he’s ever faced, aside from the totem.
Even compared to the three elders of the Moonwater Tribe, their attack power is not as formidable as his!
Of course, he has no defensive power whatsoever; all his strength is concentrated on offense. It’s no wonder he can only use one sword at a time—this single strike exhausts his body significantly, and the sudden strike is almost undetectable! However, striking again would expose a flaw!
Often, the sharper the technique, the more fatal the flaw!
Just like Xiao Yijian, why is Ye Luo so arrogant? Why provoke him repeatedly? It’s to make him use the sword once more so Ye Luo can identify his weakness.
Of course, this incredibly sharp strike also instilled fear in Ye Luo’s heart.
The power of Dao embedded in this sword isn’t something easily resolved.
However, Ye Luo never intended to resolve it! In this situation, trying to neutralize this sword would only lead to a disadvantage, or rather, can Ye Luo overcome this sword? He can, but during the process, the sword might pass through his flesh.
Additionally, this sword not only slices the flesh but can also obliterate the divine sense. More importantly, the Sword Qi carries a strong curse power, and even Princess Xiu has yet to dispel the curse on her!
Furthermore, this sword is far more terrifying than the one Princess Xiu possesses.
So, when he made his move, Ye Luo’s Divine Consciousness Gold Body moved behind him, striking with a palm!
Naturally, Ye Luo’s Divine Consciousness Gold Body was disguised. Among those present, none could surpass Ye Luo in divine sense, which meant almost no one could see his Golden Body.
This sword is formidable, right? Well, Ye Luo’s Divine Consciousness Gold Body is not to be underestimated!
Being struck by this sword, Ye Luo might suffer serious injuries, but his body is already extraordinarily strong, surpassing Princess Xiu’s physical prowess!
But what about Xiao Yijian? He focuses solely on maximizing strength; his current physique lacks any defensive power. To put it bluntly, even a guard could easily finish him off!
Of course, that’s in terms of strength; even now, a guard couldn’t approach his flesh.
As an assassin, Xiao Yijian’s survival skills are top-notch. His physical form is currently in a displaced space.
Meaning, what people see isn’t his real body’s position; the true location is not far behind him!
Despite this short distance, it completely allows him to dodge a deadly strike!
However, Ye Luo possesses the Clairvoyant Eye, a skill even the elders couldn’t penetrate, but Ye Luo sees through it clearly.
As soon as the sword swung forth, Xiao Yijian’s expression drastically changed! Because he had already sensed the threat of the Divine Consciousness Gold Body!
Though he didn’t know what kind of power it was, this force could completely take his life!
Mutual destruction? Impossible! Even if the sword pierces Ye Luo’s body, it can’t kill him, but Xiao Yijian would be doomed!
Therefore, he abandoned the strike without hesitation, flashing his body and disappearing into that space.
Yet most cultivators present had no idea what happened.
They only saw the sword suddenly appearing before Ye Luo, seemingly about to pierce his flesh!
But Ye Luo acted as if he hadn’t seen the sword, unmoved!
Even Princess Xiu furrowed her brows because they couldn’t see that in the space not far away, the Divine Consciousness Gold Body was striking towards a small, lone young man!
"Young Master Ye!" The Vice Clan Leader roared in a low voice, unable to understand why Ye Luo would act like this! Pierced by this sword and with formidable foes nearby, how could Ye Luo survive!
However, Xiao Yijian’s reputation wasn’t for nothing; his fame wasn’t just empty words! Though the sword seemed slow, it was incredibly fast.
In a flash, it pierced into Ye Luo’s body.
"Something’s wrong!" The Vice Clan Leader suddenly exclaimed.
Soon, everyone noticed something amiss; the sword had stopped right before Ye Luo without wounding him!
What happened? Everyone looked up in shock.
It’s not easy to block this sword, and clearly, the swordsman voluntarily halted!
Then the sword became blurry, and Ye Luo wasn’t even looking at the blade but instead gazing into the distance.
Soon, a struggling figure appeared, surprisingly Xiao Yijian!
Everyone immediately realized that was Xiao Yijian’s true form!
No matter how well he hides or flees, he couldn’t escape Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye.
Therefore, as soon as he hid, Ye Luo’s Divine Consciousness Gold Body forced him out.
"Seems like... you’re not much," Ye Luo remarked casually.
Upon hearing this, the crowd below widened their eyes, gazing at the sky in disbelief.
It seemed Xiao Yijian was truly embarrassed this time; since his rise to fame, he had never encountered such a situation.
Xiao Yijian’s face turned ashen!
It’s not that Ye Luo is extremely powerful; Xiao had even assassinated elders, and Ye Luo is not much stronger than them.
The reason lies in Ye Luo completely restraining him.
All of Xiao Yijian’s concealment tactics were exposed by Ye Luo, and his attacks could be easily defused by Ye Luo; how could he possibly fight?
