Chapter 395 - Countercurrent Force!
Bai Yu could clearly see that the blade had already cut off the hair on Su Zimo’s skin. A slight inch forward was all that was required to slice the latter’s throat.
However, the attack had still missed.
It was a mere centimeter gap!
The strangest thing was that Su Zimo had not opened his eyes throughout the entire process.
It was as though he had dodged the attack subconsciously!
With a lowered head, Su Zimo resembled a meditating old monk, immersed in his own world and totally oblivious to his surroundings.
“Still trying to gain enlightenment?”
Bai Yu sneered and no longer concealed the killing intent in his heart. Channeling his bloodline, his spirit saber buzzed and trembled, cutting towards Su Zimo with full force as it shimmered brightly with spirit light!
Counter meant not retreating and fighting furiously forward!
Su Zimo’s entire journey had been one of countering!
Back in Ping Yang Town, his knees refused to buckle and his spine refused to bend against Perfected Being Cang Lang’s bullying… that was his counter!
Countering meant an immensely fearless aura!
In truth, everything that happened in Ping Yang Town back then could not be hidden from Die Yue’s senses.
Back then, if Su Zimo had chosen to kneel and submit…
Die Yue would have killed Perfected Being Cang Lang on the spot, ending her karma with Su Zimo before leaving.
However, the ‘counter’ that Su Zimo made was the reason why he received Die Yue’s acknowledgment and changed his fate!
One could only change their fates by countering the heavens!
One could only obtain the rights to change their fates if they dared to counter even the heavens!
Those who obeyed the will of the heavens would become mortals while those who countered it would become immortals.
Countering meant not bowing down, not retreating, not fearing, not buckling. It was an invincible march of courage and strength forward!
The Countercurrent stance could counter the situation!
At that moment, Su Zimo no longer had anywhere to run or hide.
When he saw that, Bai Yu’s eyes shone with a frenzied glint as he laughed menacingly. “Nowhere left to hide, eh? Now, die!”
Swoosh!
The saber in Bai Yu’s hands slashed forward with multiple afterimages and blood qi spread, filling the skies with the stench of blood!
All of a sudden!
Su Zimo’s eyes jerked open.
His eyes were clear and bright, like crystals deep in the sea that shone with a mysterious luster.
There was no trace of fear nor panic in them.
When he saw those eyes, a sense of uneasiness flashed through Bai Yu’s heart.
Unknowingly, perhaps when Su Zimo opened his eyes, a blood-colored saber had appeared in his hands.
Its blade was gigantic and shone with five spirit lights in a bedazzling manner!
“Countercurrent!”
Su Zimo said calmly and waved casually.
Swoosh!
As Blood Quencher moved, there was a sound of tides surging in a reverse current coming from its blade!
Initially, Bai Yu had the advantage with his domineering momentum. However, the situation between them was instantly reversed with Su Zimo’s slash!
A torrential force crushed forward like a surging tide alongside Blood Quencher!
All the afterimages from Bai Yu’s saber disappeared instantly.
The blood stench emitted from his saber was washed away completely by the invisible tide as well.
Against that massive force, Bai Yu’s saber technique appeared simple and weak!
“Saber force!”
Bai Yu’s eyes widened in shock.
How was that possible?
He joined Zenith Sect when he was five years old and had been practicing with a saber since then.
After being immersed in the way of the saber for dozens of years, he had merely reached the peak of the first level of mastery of the saber and had not managed to reach the secret of force yet.
However, the person before him had comprehended the meaning of saber force after cultivating for a mere ten days!
In the face of the saber force, all saber techniques were merely in form no matter how precise they were.
The two sabers collided.
Clang!
Bai Yu’s body shuddered and his face turned incomparably pale. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he flew away limply and his gaze dimmed.
Psst!
The cultivators watching were dumbstruck!
A single slash!
Bai Yu’s initial advantage was gone after Su Zimo opened his eyes and within a single slash, he was the one that was sent flying and severely injured!
