Chapter 145: Slaying Two Ninth-Rank Martial Artists
🕑 Added 2024-09-28 07:05:41 +0000 UTCAt that moment, Lin Luoluo seemed as if she had eyes in the back of her head. Without even turning around, she raised her sword, Soul Severing, to block the incoming strike.
The battle axe was just about to cleave into Lin Luoluo's head, but Soul Severing remained unmoved, completely stopping the attack. The wielder's strike could not even reach Lin Luoluo.
“Damn it!” cursed the man wielding the battle axe, his frustration turning into rage. He swung the axe again, aiming for another attack!
Whoosh—
However, Lin Luoluo gave him no chance. With a swift movement, she dodged his attack.
Boom—
The man's massive battle axe struck the ground instead, creating a huge chasm and echoing with a deafening sound.
Run! I need to run!
The martial artist with the war blade, now trembling, was overcome with terror. The power Lin Luoluo had unleashed was far beyond anything he had imagined. Her speed and strength were something even a regular ninth-rank martial artist could not achieve. And most terrifying of all was her weapon!
The blade in his hand, which he had always been proud of, was now chipped in multiple places from clashing with her sword. Even his armor, which he had thought invincible, had been pierced like paper by Soul Severing.
How could he possibly fight this?
Though the allure of a ninth-rank martial technique was tempting, it was useless if he ended up dead.
Whoosh—
Lin Luoluo leaped to the other side, her eyes locking onto the fleeing martial artist. With a swing of her Soul Severing sword, a terrifying white flame shot out.
The martial artist with the war blade, sensing something behind him, spun around just in time to see the deadly white flames barreling toward him.
No!!!
He screamed inwardly.
The next moment, the flames engulfed him completely.
“Ahhh!!!”
In an instant, his entire body was set ablaze. Desperately, he rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames. But these white flames were no ordinary fire; they burned far hotter.
Without giving him a second glance, Lin Luoluo turned her attention to the remaining ninth-rank martial artist with the battle axe. His eyes were wide with shock. The white flames from Lin Luoluo’s earlier strike had been powerful enough to kill a ninth-rank martial artist with ease.
Who was this woman?
"Now, it’s your turn," Lin Luoluo said, her gaze settling on him.
“You think I’ll be as easy to defeat as him?” the man snarled, gripping his battle axe tightly.
“100 percent of my power!” he shouted in rage.
In that instant, he unleashed all his strength, his entire body surging with source energy. The sheer force of it caused the ground to tremble slightly, and the surrounding air currents swirled violently, lifting Lin Luoluo’s hair.
"You are not my match," Lin Luoluo replied calmly.
Her strength had increased significantly since her previous battles. She had already defeated powerful enemies like Wang Qiang and Qiu Tianqiu, so facing a ninth-rank martial artist now was effortless for her.
As soon as her words fell, she charged at him, Soul Severing in hand!
“Hmph!” The man with the battle axe sneered and charged to meet her head-on. He refused to believe that his heavy battle axe couldn’t overpower a woman wielding a sword.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Their weapons clashed repeatedly. The man, wielding his battle axe with both hands, expected Lin Luoluo, wielding a single sword, to struggle under the weight of his blows.
After all, an axe was heavy, and a sword was light. By all logic, she should not be able to withstand his attacks.
But the reality was the opposite!
With each clash, a powerful shockwave burst forth. But instead of Lin Luoluo being pushed back, it was the man who found himself retreating.
What the hell?!
This couldn’t be happening!
For the first time in his life, he found himself at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation with someone wielding a sword. Despite the axe’s weight and his strength, Lin Luoluo's attacks were forcing him back.
Clang! Clang!
Each loud metallic crash echoed through the air, and his battle axe began to crack under the pressure. The blade of the axe was now chipped and damaged in several places!
As the cracks grew larger, the ninth-rank martial artist’s eyes widened in shock.
His battle axe had been forged from one of the most durable materials known, an A-grade alloy. While not the sharpest, it was one of the toughest weapons he had ever seen. Yet here it was, being torn apart by Lin Luoluo's sword!
If this continued, he felt certain that his battle axe would be split in two!
The thought made his scalp tingle with fear.
But now, he had no choice but to keep fighting. Lin Luoluo’s relentless onslaught made it impossible for him to escape. Running would only ensure his death.
“This can’t be happening...” Tian Yong, who had been watching from the sidelines, was now completely stunned. The battle had only been going for a short time, yet one of the ninth-rank martial artists had already been burned alive, while the other was barely holding on against Lin Luoluo's attacks.
For the first time, Tian Yong began to regret his decision. He should have accepted his earlier defeat and left things alone.
But now, he thought there might still be a way to kill her.
With a vicious gleam in his eyes, Tian Yong reached into his storage ring and pulled out a lotus-shaped object.
This was a hidden weapon known as the Buddha Lotus.
As Lin Luoluo continued to press the attack, Tian Yong hurled the Buddha Lotus at her!
Clang!
Just as Lin Luoluo knocked the ninth-rank martial artist back with a powerful strike, she spun around and slashed at the Buddha Lotus!
Die!!!
Tian Yong’s face twisted with rage. The Buddha Lotus was designed to explode upon impact, and he was sure that as soon as Lin Luoluo's sword struck it, the hidden weapon would detonate.
Boom—
But Lin Luoluo’s sword was too fast!
Soul Severing sliced cleanly through the Buddha Lotus, cutting it in two before it could even activate its mechanism.
No!!!
Tian Yong screamed inwardly as he witnessed the terrifying scene.
There was only one way to disarm the Buddha Lotus: by using a weapon sharp enough to slice through it like tofu before the mechanism could trigger. But such a weapon shouldn’t exist…
Yet here it was, the shattered Buddha Lotus lying in two pieces on the ground.
Without a second thought, Lin Luoluo kicked the broken pieces of the Buddha Lotus toward Tian Yong.
The shattered device shot through the air, striking Tian Yong squarely!
