“Die!” The Phantom Blade roared and raised the bloody saber above his head..
With some unthinkable movement, too fast for comprehension, she suddenly shifted to the side and delivered a diagonal strike.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. This art deserved to be called Phantom Saber, it focused entirely on speed. Such a blow could destroy the bridge.
Purple Mist filled the body, Linbo's Move Set increased the speed six times.
The heavy blade cut only a mirage and crashed into the ground with such power that it swelled and burst, immediately opening up a deep ravine.
Lin Yi's eyes remained filled with amazement. If he had dared to block this blow, a bloody river would have flowed down the ravine..
He gritted his teeth and gripped the handle tighter..
The Phantom Blade has already reached the strength of the supreme masters, and maybe even surpassed some of them.
Lin Yi decided on a plan and his movements became even faster and more risky. He began to resemble a fly flying along the edge of the blade, escaping from under the blade at the very last moment in desperate attempts to evade.
Several dozen techniques flew past, each with some unimaginable speed. As soon as the saber touched the ground, transmitting enormous power to it, she was already delivering the next move from a completely different angle. It wasn't even just one ghost, but a whole horde..The Phantom Blade roared in a chilling tone:
“Is this all that the great “Sword God” is capable of? You didn't even raise your blade once.”
“And that’s true,” Lin Yi smiled, when he suddenly lunged in the middle of the enemy’s swing.
Phantom Blade lost his vigilance and the thin blade of the sword caught his saber from an unexpected angle.
Nine Phantom Swords!
«Kree-ix!»
With the grinding sound of metal on metal, the Phantom Blade's wrist began to twist, his fingers began to unclench on their own... when he suddenly forced them to clench with pure force and pushed Lin Yi's blade away.
The Sword God was thrown away like a cannonball..
After somersaulting several times in flight, trying to figure out where was up and where was down, he fell to the ground and rolled along it to extinguish the momentum.
His heart began to pound with fear; this attack almost cost him his life. The difference in strength was too great. He had a hard time suppressing his emotions.
“Hmph. Nine Lonely Swords is a good technique, but you can’t knock out the blade if it’s part of me. You think I haven't learned to hold my weapon in my entire life?”
Lin Yi nodded. Indeed, no matter how great this technique is, it is designed for those of the same level or weaker. The Phantom Blade wasn't even close. If he made any mistakes, he could cover them with brute force. Only due to the fact that Lin Yi managed to push off with his own legs, weakening the momentum from the blow, he remained alive.
“You deserve your title, Phantom Blade. I admire your art and in our next meeting I will definitely ask for some advice.”
Phantom Blade's face changed. He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the retreating righteous disciples and suddenly realized that almost all of them had already climbed over the wall.
In battle, he did not attach any importance to this, but how fast did the Sword God move if he managed to avoid all of his techniques so easily?
“Come on, stand!” his roar made the hills tremble.
Putting all his speed into the lunge, he delivered a crushing blow.
«KLANG!»
The saber collided with the sword and Lin Yi, having pushed off with his feet in advance, flew twenty meters away at once, landing easily on his feet.
“Thank you for hosting! I hope we will meet again!” Lin Yi laughed while his mirage was already dissolving.
Looking around, Phantom Blade saw only one shadow almost overtaking the wall of Kaifeng.
“Creature!" he roared. “Next time I’ll rip your head off!”
It was a complete failure. He wanted to kill the arrogant upstart and continue the pursuit of the rest of the experts of the righteous path, but instead he lingered for chatter.
A roar filled with inner strength caught up with Lin Yi at the same time as he jumped onto the wall. Grinning, the Sword God shouted back:
“Next time you meet, try not to die before you see my blade.!”
“Big brother!”
“Sword God!”
“I was already starting to fear for you!”
“Haha, Lin Yi was able to detain the semi-supreme expert! You just can't keep up with him! Soon all of Kaifeng will know about this feat!”
“I think he will be raised in the rankings. Who else could apprehend the third most powerful semi-supreme expert and escape? Now he will definitely rise into their ranks!”
“How creepy he was, his aura alone made his bones tremble! Have you seen? His aura looked like countless blades coming from everywhere at once, like a legion of ghosts! I heard that not even all the supreme experts are able to withstand his three techniques, but Lin Yi was also able to escape after that! A true master!”
As soon as Lin Yi returned to the wall, the admiring voices of those who returned only thanks to him began to be heard everywhere. The incredible success of today's attack was almost entirely his fault, and the whole world will know that he single-handedly went against one of the three strongest semi-supreme experts and, one might say, emerged victorious!
Even the Awakened Monk was forced to admit that he could not put himself in his place. He would not have been able to detain the semi-supreme expert, and risking himself to save others would have been something completely unthinkable..
He still hated Lin Yi, who took away his glory and disrupted all the plans of Shaolin, but recognized the outstanding strength of this peer of his.
Watching the cheering crowd, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction. Eliminating first-class experts will undoubtedly help in the war, but his main gain is the trust of his peers and even the older generation, who saw with their own eyes that he is a worthy commander.
He wanted to become a real leader, and not just a temporary expert at the head of the younger generation. So he needed all the support and reputation he could get.
With these thoughts, he suppressed a smile and said with a modest look:
“I just did what any responsible leader should do. A true ruler is the first to attack and the last to retreat. So please don't praise me.”
“Hahaha, the Sword God is strong in everything, even in modesty!”
Lin Yi smiled and said:
“The first attack of the righteous heroes on the vicious cults ended with devastating success! We killed more than ten first-class peak experts, almost a hundred non-peak experts, and several hundred second-class experts without losing a single person! This is a victory worth celebrating.!”
“Let’s drink to the Sword God!” the crowd shouted.
Lin Yi, still smiling slightly, raised his hand. After waiting for silence, he added:
“But this success is no reason to let down our guard. Continue to carefully monitor the movements of the demons, otherwise–”
He suddenly broke off, choking on blood..
The crowd gasped and there were exclamations of fear here and there, but he raised his hand again, wiped away the blood, and said:
“Everything is fine! Unfortunately, I received quite serious injuries and will not be able to celebrate with you, but my full recovery is a matter of time. After which we will go on the attack again!”
“Yeah!”
“Sword God, don't worry and get well, we'll look after the city!”
“Leave Kaifeng to us, hero!”
“My hands are still shaking with excitement! Get well soon and let's launch a new attack!”
Lin Yi, hugging his fist with his palm, said goodbye to everyone and walked towards his room at a leisurely pace..
As soon as they were out of sight of the crowd, the five Alliance disciples took his pale, almost lifeless body, and hastily carried him to the lord's estate.
He received serious injuries, but this is a small thing compared to the losses that the burning demon camp outside the city walls faced..
While the morale of the opponents sank lower than ever, the heroes of the righteous path celebrated from night to morning.
Only the Phantom Blade wandered among the countless corpses like a vengeful spirit.
