Chapter 489 - Saber Test
Everyone from Ethereal Peak exchanged glances speechlessly.
When they recalled how firm Yan Beichen was in rejecting the Blood Crow Palace’s Lord’s request in taking Su Zimo away, their minds starting reeling.
The attitude of the fiend sects’ Asura towards Su Zimo was rather strange.
It did not seem as though he merely cherished the fact that Su Zimo was at Extreme Foundation Establishment.
“Is he thinking of taking Su Zimo with him to Asura Sect?”
A Grand Elder frowned in deep worry.
After all, Su Zimo’s potential was way too great and there was a chance that Ethereal Peak would rise in glory if he remained in the sect!
“Let’s not think too much about it. Even if that’s what he wants, there’s nothing we can do and there’s no one who can stop him either.”
“Go on, attack. Let me see how much of the Saber Emperor’s inheritance you managed to comprehend!”
Yan Beichen raised his palm lightly and endless spirit qi gathered towards his palm.
In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a sinister saber.
No longer speaking, Yan Beichen attacked immediately after.
Su Zimo’s reaction was extremely fast and he whipped out his Blood Quencher. Attacking upwards, he released the Sea Calming Manual’s Countercurrent right away.
Clang!
The two sabers collided and let out a crisp sound, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
The power of the attack was not heavy.
Su Zimo could clearly feel that Yan Beichen had repressed his power countless times in order to test his saber!
Yan Beichen’s attack had already reached the level of force.
After that attack, Yan Beichen was expressionless and flicked his wrist; the next attack had already arrived stealthily.
His saber technique was blurry and unpredictable, yet, its killing aura was instantaneous and shuddering!
“Not good!”
Su Zimo’s heart almost exploded.
Against that killing intent, Su Zimo truly thought that Yan Beichen was about to kill him!
Instinctively, he unleashed his spirit wings and was about to retreat backwards.
However, the moment his spirit wings were summoned, they dissipated and turned into specks of light that scattered in the void.
Needless to think, that must have been done by Yan Beichen!
Su Zimo buckled his knees and channeled his bloodline, wanting to dodge backwards.
Immediately after, to his horror, he realized that there seemed to be three walls erected on his left, right and back – he could not move and could only stand motionlessly on the spot.
“Use your saber!”
Yan Beichen’s voice sounded coldly, “Or die!”
Nobody could question the killing intent of the fiend sects’ Asura.
He had said previously that there was nobody he couldn’t and wouldn’t dare to kill in the world!
An Asura did not require reason to kill.
Yan Beichen’s attack was one of the stances from Asura Saber.
Asura Sect’s fiend heir, Bai Yu, had used it before in the ancient battlefield as well and it was the exact same move.
However, although they were exact, the might that was produced from Yan Beichen was worlds apart!
That attack was ethereal and was imperceivable.
Although Su Zimo felt so terrible he wanted to throw up, he had nowhere to retreat!
Taking a deep breath, Su Zimo composed himself and closed his eyes instead, choosing to follow his heart. Suddenly, he slashed out at the void before him!
It was the Ripple stance of Sea Calming Manual.
The entire void seemed to drawn in by that slash and spirit qi swirled, as though it was creating a massive vortex.
Under Yan Beichen’s pressure, the Vortex stance had also reached the level of force!
Although the saber was only slashing at an empty spot, it possessed a centrifugal power of attraction that instantly broke through Yan Beichen’s Asura Saber’s intent state.
The initially imperceivable saber was now appearing.
Clang!
The two sabers collided once more and retraced upon a single contact.
A subtle hint of admiration could be seen flickering through Yan Beichen’s eyes.
“Carry on!”
His voice was still cold as ever without any emotions.
The Sea Calming Manual was a saber technique comprehended by the Saber Emperor at the seaside. Be it in terms of toughness or flexibility, it was majestic and overbearing, unlike Asura Saber.
Asura Saber was a technique that was purely created for killing and every single move was sinister and lethal!
The two different techniques, one righteous and one evil, were supreme secret skills in the Dao of the saber.
Yan Beichen continued attacking in succession and the angles of his attacks were tricky; they withdrew, lifted or were hidden…
Every single attack was filled with boundless imagination that left one speechless!
Against such a saber technique, Su Zimo could only deal with them using the Ripple stance of the Sea Calming Manual, fighting gentleness with gentleness.
Su Zimo’s Ripple stance turned increasingly mature against that immense pressure and a saber force that was akin to ripples on the surface of water started to appear gradually…
