Chapter 9: The Breath of the Sword

On the empty snow, the blades of both sides wielded freely and calmly.

The Berserker took a step back, then crossed the sword in his hand and took the attack that came at him before him, and then looked ahead with a slightly defiant gaze.

"It turns out that this is the 'Silver Swordsmanship' that has been passed down from generation to generation in Lockdan, which is interesting and I am very satisfied. His face was not handsome, but when he spoke, there was an evil aura that freely emanated around him, which made people feel fear and doubt.

"In return, I am presenting here my real name and identity, the chief berserker of the mysterious legion of the kingdom of Hastan: Saturst. He took a few steps back, said unhurriedly, then bowed slightly, and then raised his eyes to look at the enemy in front of him, the corners of Martha's mouth beside him moved slightly, but he did not speak.

"Mystic Legion"? Ai Suyun's brows moved slightly, and the sharp blade in his hand unconsciously raised slightly.

In connection with it, the Archmage Alatix, who before his departure had called it "the power that rises in the darkness", looms and tirelessly obstructs the convergence of the world's righteous forces, and it is said that it has the potential to upend all that should be maintained in this world.

"That time has finally come..."The old face of the mage in his memory faded to the top of the mage tower after the last word of advice, and then at a glance only the ethereal blue magic aura remained, gathering and dispersing, filling the air like a mist of water.

"When the light around the box fades, I will lose my protective power, so please open the lid of the box, and the hidden things will show you the way forward. Then a breeze blew across his cheeks, and the blue magic sigil on the ground disappeared in an instant, just like the caster himself.

And for decades, the so-called "Khastan Mysterious Legion", at least in the known events, was not known.

Who are they? Strange things are coming, and sooner or later, I will lose the most rational judgment. Ai Suyun thought so.

"Whatever you think in your heart now, your father and the throne of glory will never return to the way they were, and you will shed your blood today. Martha suddenly said arrogantly and loudly: "Your Royal Highness, who has lost your protection, you are destined to be unable to escape our control. ”

"In order to cover up your crimes, you can even kill innocent people, but I am different. Ai Suyun said, a silver streamer flashing on the blade of the sword in his hand. The Berserker said coldly, "Do you still want to continue using that move?"

In an instant, the prince was already close to the berserker's side, and his heroic form was as swift as lightning, pouring great power into the blade of Senran's sword.

"Oh, I can't see that the 'Sword Origin Breath' accumulated in his body has actually reached this level, which is really rare. Martha muttered, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

With a sound of "dang", the sharp blades in the hands of the two collided violently, and their expressions became solemn at the same time.

It was actually evenly matched, and the two of them retreated at the same time, and then Ai Suyun steadied his footsteps, and turned his body and jumped into the air, and then fell behind the berserker like a light bird, Saturst turned around, but found that Ai Suyun had already slashed at his body with a sword behind his back.

"That's good. It seems to have decided that I am slightly inferior, but unfortunately, whatever you do is in vain. The berserker didn't swing his sword to block, but suddenly began to spin his body wildly on the ground, and the blade in his hand also danced violently and rapidly in all directions at the same time, and the black aura began to flow in all directions, and under the sky, the murderous aura rolled in.

Martha raised her head in disbelief, her expression shocked: "I didn't expect you to use this trick." ”

Berserkers spin faster and faster.

"This is one of the pinnacle swordsmanship's 'Sword Storm 'Sword Blade Storm', the swordsman spreads the sword qi around his body, rotates his body and makes the blade dance wildly, and the various colors of aura form a huge force like a storm whirlpool around the body, and the blade that is so fast that it can't be caught at all has become the most deadly wound in this storm. To be honest, it's also the first time I've seen someone use it. Ai Suyun thought in his heart, and after the blade in his hand struck forward, he unbiased into the center of the blade storm, and his body was unconsciously bounced away by the huge force, and the blade in his hand loosened slightly, as if it was almost out of the grasp of his fingers. He stepped back, his boots dragging two long and deep lines through the snow, and it took a while for his form to steady.

"If my father's sword is in my hand at this moment, this trick is also just a piece of cake. Ai Suyun thought in surprise that at this moment, a large chunk of snow was swept up by the sword current, flying and hovering in the air, and then instantly wrapped the body of the central berserker, and the sight of everyone around was completely obscured, and even the direction of the wind in the air seemed to change.

The speed of the blade storm suddenly increased, and then the black sword blade that swung so fast that it was dazzling suddenly struck out several huge black sword qi in an instant, not only that, but the speed was no less than the single sword wave that Ai Suyun had struck just now.

"Oh no," Ai Suyun hurriedly moved his body to the left, and the sword wave swept through the snow like a goshawk across the lake, and the snowflakes rose into the sky.

After the sword wave, the berserker suddenly stopped his steps, and then held his sword and looked ahead with a smile on his face.

"How does this blow feel?" he plunged his sword into the blue-brown ground, then looked up and laughed like a comrade triumphant.

The crimson blood dripped from Ai Suyun's right shoulder, he endured the pain on his body, the silver shimmer on his body flickered, he crouched on the ground, but his gaze remained unyielding.

The Berserker approached him with a beaming face. Then stopped in front of him.

"If I'm not mistaken, the arm you used the sword is already very badly injured, can you still use the sword?" he laughed, "Then I'm welcome." Then he suddenly raised his sword and slashed at the top of Ai Suyun's head.

However, the silver light flashed, and after a second, his figure froze, the swing of the black blade stopped abruptly, and at the same time, the sharp sword in Ai Suyun's hand pierced his chest impartially.

Martha was shocked: "What's going on?"

The Berserker had an incredulous look on his face, his hoarse voice staccato and on.

"Why? I have broken all the bones in your right arm, but why can you still use a sword?"

"Die, cruel fellow. Essuyun drew his blade, and the blood in Saturst's chest splattered into the silvery snow around him, like a blood-colored flower that bloomed in winter.

"Are you back from your injuries?" said Martha, surprised.

"The sword wave that Saturst struck just now is the extremely famous 'Bone Shattering Sword Wave' in the 'Mystic Legion', if it weren't for the last carelessness, he shouldn't have lost the duel like this, but the opponent was indeed recovered by some kind of force in an instant all the wounds in his body. ”

"Could it be that there really is someone who can accumulate the 'Breath of the Sword Plain' to such an extent?" Martha suddenly looked incredulous, and part of the snow around her also fell on her shoulders, unconsciously adding a bit of embarrassment to her.

Ai Suyun slowly walked towards Martha, looked in the direction of the two villagers, and then said with a calm expression, "Please let them go." ”

Martha seemed unmoved, her expression returned to normal again, and then she spoke unhurriedly: "Unfortunately, since I was called the 'Queen of Magic', I have never wavered in my faith in loyalty to the kingdom, even if I lose my life, I will do my best to complete the task given by the king, and before the duel, I want to talk to you about swordsmanship." ”

Ai Suyun was stunned for a moment: "The king, the Lahuan Heartbreaker, the death of his father was indeed planned by him. ”

"The 'Sword Breath' in your body is really amazingly abundant. ”

"Yes, because I've been practicing the 'Divine Silver Sword Technique' for a long time, and it's the result of time and lean. ”

"I heard that the silver swordsmanship is one of the few orthodox ancient swordsmanship on the continent that can produce the breath of the sword origin in the body as long as it is trained for a long time, and with the continuous deepening and expansion of the sword technique ability, the breath of the sword origin that is spontaneously generated with cultivation begins to accumulate in the body, and begins to become a 'strange power'. ”

"So you know about it, too. ”

"The Breath of the Sword Plain, which doesn't seem to have much effect on the surface, can produce a unique effect after reaching a certain level. ”

"Do you know what that is?"

"The more often the sword is used, the more freely the Sword's Breath flows, and at critical moments, they can even repair any part of a limb injured in battle in an instant. Martha paused, then continued.

"This is a unique magical power from the ancient era, and the automatic recovery of the wound on your right arm just now is the result of the concentrated explosion of the Sword Primordial Breath. ”

"And this kind of explosion is not to be encountered, and under normal circumstances, the Breath of the Sword Origin is not a very useful power, or even a virtual one. ”

"However, this kind of example is rare in a hundred years, and legend has it that when the sword breath in someone's body reaches a point where it is rare in the entire history, a miracle like the one you just made will occur, and in some legends, there are even people who can comprehend the unparalleled 'Sword Ascension Realm' with them. Do you know that?"

"Yes, but it requires some kind of extremely important awareness and opportunity, and no one, including my father, can tell the truth. So, that's really a legend. Ai Suyun said lightly.

"So, congratulations to you for your hard work in cultivating swordsmanship and getting the rewards you deserve. ”

"But you still won't be my match. Martha's mouth smiled.

"There is a fatal weakness in you. ”
