Chapter 287: Standing proudly in the sky
Even though Leah Cain was completely contemptuous, he immediately focused all of his attention when Han Shuo truly made his move. He raised the broadsword in his hand with a cold snort. A silver sword light suddenly spread out in front of him.
Leah Cain had stepped into the rank of great swordmaster many years ago. He had indulged in this realm for a long time, challenging and defeating many experts back in the Brut Merchant Alliance, and gaining the title of Crazy Great Swordmaster at the same time. If he hadn’t offended the lightning sacred magus Reynold Dila of the alliance, he might have never had to flee to the Lancelot Empire.
The silver sword light instantly enveloped the area in front of him. Han Shuo could feel an enormous sword aura hidden within the light as he flew over to Leah Cain. He immediately infused the Demonslayer Edge with magical yuan. This indestructible weapon then burst out with black light and stabbed directly towards the silver sword light.
The Demonslayer Edge shot forward explosively with a black light and heavy killing intent. It abruptly bombarded Leah Cain’s sword light. The silver sword light intertwined with the black light as several metallic pops sounded. Spots of light scattered out like stars before fading away in the air.
“Nngnn.” Leah Cain let out a light cry and quickly retreated a step back. He looked at Han Shuo with shock, “Not bad little guy, your weapon is quite strange. It actually isn’t fighting aura!”
The black light from the Demonslayer Edge snuffed the silver sword light into thin air. However when the silver sword light collided with the Demonslayer Edge, a huge force flooded into Han Shuo’s arm through the weapon, numbing his arm a little.
Han Shuo didn’t rush to make a next move. His face cold as he stared fixedly at Leah Cain, he focused his mind to the peak. After this exchange, he knew that Leah Cain was indeed much more powerful than the great swordmaster he killed last time. They were both swordmasters, but Leah Cain had swelled in this rank for many years. His strength was truly extraordinary.
“This Bryan has some power indeed!” Amyes looked at Candide in surprise and exclaimed softly on the platform opposite of the Garden House.
Candide’s eyes shone brightly, his face full of interest as he replied while looking at Han Shuo, “This is my first time seeing him fight as well. Although he has no fighting aura, he could unexpectedly break through the sword light that Leah Cain had gathered from his fighting aura. It looks like his body is hiding a lot of secrets!”
If a swordsman wanted to float in the air, they had to reach the rank of the legendary divine swordmaster in order to fly using fighting aura. While mages could fly by using the levitation skill upon reaching the rank of archmage, the casting speed of the levitation skill wasn’t as fast or as smooth as Han Shuo’s skills.
Even though Han Shuo was a necromancy archmage, he couldn’t have been able to dodge that rapid attack using that slow levitation skill. That was why even Leah Cain was shocked beyond belief upon seeing Han Shuo stand safe and sound in the sky.
“Amyes, can you sense any magic elements on his body? Why can’t I sense any at all?” On the high platform, Candide exclaimed with surprise as he looked directly at Han Shuo standing proudly in the sky.
Even an usually relaxed and calm person like Amyes was startled. He shook his head, saying, “Strange, too strange. He doesn’t use any magic or fighting aura, but can actually stand in the sky so miraculously. Just what is this?”
“It seems this has something to do with his unique cultivation art. Amyes, this art he practices is very wondrous. If the Lancelot Empire’s army also knows how to fly that quickly, then the power of our army would be multiplied!” Candide exclaimed with excitement as he thought of this.
“Pay close attention. We have to stop Leah Cain if he deals a killing blow even if it violates the rules. This Bryan is truly magical. He is too useful to our Lancelot Empire, we absolutely cannot let him die!” Amyes said with determination, having determined to set everything aside in order to ensure Han Shuo’s safety.
“Let’s do it like that then. After this, I think is Majesty also knows what to do now!” Candide agreed immediately. His gloomy eyes focused on Leah Cain. The dark elements on his body suddenly became dense as he prepared to make a move at anytime without regard to his identity.
A person was watching Han Shuo on a lush, towering old tree. He was the one whom Han Shuo and Lawrence had met in the Rose Garden, super rank assassin Bollands. He was crouching within the foliage, his eyes were wide open as he observed Han Shuo and muttering, “Truly amazing. He can actually use a skill directly to stand proudly in the sky. It seems this Bryan is hiding other secrets besides his extraordinary attainment with murderous aura. Master was right to send me here this time!”
“Little guy, don’t think you are formidable just because you are an archmage who can fly in the sky. Get down here if you’re so good!” Leah Cain shouted furiously down below as he looked up at Han Shuo in the sky.
Even though he was a great swordmaster, he couldn’t fly in the air. He had no choice but stare dumbly, helpless, whilst looking up at Han Shuo in the sky.
“As you wish!” Han Shuo let out a long laugh in the sky before diving down like a meteor. The Demonslayer Edge emitted a purple-red spellfire that two meters long . A thick murderous aura emanated in every direction with Han Shuo as the epicenter. The surrounding onlookers all felt a wave of palpitations and involuntarily stepped a bit further away, shocked as they looked up at him shooting down from the sky.
