Chapter 428 425- You Aren’t… (7)
*Vomit*
Yang Su grabbed his chest and vomited out a mouth full of blood while he dropped to one knee.
He was only in that place for a split second, but in that time he was suddenly wounded by a sword. He wasn’t able to sense Anang’s attack and could only block a portion of it due to pure instinct.
If he hadn’t blocked it in time, Yang Su might have lost an arm
‘W-What was that?
“Elder brother!�
Seeing Yang Su wounded Jun yelled in shock.
“I’m fine, it’s not as bad as it looks.�
Yang Su said stopping Jun from coming over. Afterwards he looked up at Anang who was staring at him with a cold expression.
“You got lucky blocking my Sword Domain, but next time I’ll sever your head.�
Anang’s voice echoed out and it was so cold it almost matched the cold weather caused by the over-saturated Yin Energy.
Fei Yin who was wearing a solemn expression after seeing Anang’s strange attack had his face fell when he heard the mention of a Sword Domain.
“This isn’t good, elder brother might be in danger. To think this person\'s comprehension of the sword was high enough to form a Sword Domain.�
Jun hearing that turned to Fei Yin and asked.
“Brother Yin, what’s a Sword Domain?�
Instead of Fei Yin, Fang Chen was the one who answered.
“To put it simply, a Sword Domain follows the same principle as a Spell Caster’s Qi Domain, however, the difference is that it\'s created from a Sword cultivator’s Sword intent. The reason why Yang Su is in danger is that fighting against a Sword Cultivator that has a Sword Domain is like fighting against God in a world that they created.�
“It’s practically a broken ability that could allow Sword Cultivators to kill cultivators of the same level in droves.�
Fei Yin began adding.
“But it’s not something that’s common to comprehend, even if you are a sword genius that comprehended Sword Intent relatively easily, the chances of forming a Sword Domain is 1:100. Even I, who had a Sword Dao Realization only have a 20% to 30% increase chance of forming one, but I’ve been trying ever since I defeated Bai Lu.�
As Fei Yin said those last words, one could hear a bit of frustration from his lack of success.
Jun turned to Fang Chen who shook his head and said.
“I’m not pursuing the sword the conventional way by forming Sword Aura, then creating Sword Intent, and then finally forming a Sword Domain. My Sword Formation Technique already allows me to form a Sword Domain without forming Sword Aura and Sword Intent, but it\'s a bit weaker than the original since it’s a result of a formation.�
Fang Chen then looked at Yang Su and Anang before continuing.
“That person, he’s strong. But he seems to have just formed his Sword Domain if Yang Su can still withstand his attack. If he were to fully form his Sword Domain, he might be able to fight against Faction Leader.�
Jun’s face change multiple times as he heard Fei Yin and Fang Chen speak.
Gritting his teeth he said.
“We have to step in if elder brother is in danger.�
“Agreed.�
"Of course."
Fang Chen and Fei Yin immediately said while Li Wen and Lihua nodded.
Only Mu Fan was busy looking on with disinterest.
“You idiots must have not realized it yet. Is it because I’m the only one who still has the desire to beat that bastard?�
“What?�
Jun hearing that turned to Mu Fan.
Snorting Mu Fan said.
“Bastard Jun, just watch. That fucker has gotten further ahead of us.�
Yang Su slowly stood up from his knelt position.
“Sword Domain? So what? I’ll just stomp on it.�
Grit.
Anang clenched his teeth before raising his hand. This time he used his entire palm in place of a sword as he swung down.
Once again, Yang Su was transported into that desolate void. His instincts for danger were blaring more than the previous attack, but Yang Su calmly took a step forward.
Crack.
Crack.
BANG!
That one step by Yang Su caused Anang’s Sword Domain to shatter in an instant.
Anang’s face went pale and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth from the backlash. He looked at Yang Su as if he was looking at a ghost.
“Y-You... What?�
Anang tried to say, but Yang Su took another step and this cause a loud bang to resound in Anang Yu’s mind.
He immediately released a bloodcurdling scream while grabbing at his head.
Anang felt as if someone had bashed his skull in with a twenty-tonne boulder. His lungs felt constricted causing him to be unable to breathe and his skin was so pressed against his bones that were grinding against each other that he looked malnourished.
It was as if the world around him was wrapping around him and squeezing him from all directions.
Yang Su wasn’t finished and was about to take his third step, but his foot tremble before his face went as pale white as the snow around him.
Yang Su released a breath before lowering back his foot.
‘Is two steps my limit? I felt as if I would shatter into a thousand pieces if I took the third step, just how powerful is this Daoist Magic? No, can Daoist Magic be this powerful? It feels like it but very different at the same time.’
As Yang Su was in his thoughts, Anang felt the pressure on him disappear all of a sudden and fell to his knees before vomiting out a mouth full of blood.
He soon managed to look up at Yang Su and slight fear crept into his heart. If Yang Su had taken that third step, the snow around him might have been dyed red by his flesh and internal organs after his body burst from the pressure. Even his soul would be crushed.
‘Damn it, where did this bastard come from?’
Anang fist clawed the ground and grabbed a handful of snow.
“H-How could this be, he defeated Young Master Sol of the Solitary Sword Sect with two simple steps? Young Master Sol is in the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm, could this person be at the Late or even Peak stage of the Core Formation Realm?�
“He’s someone from the Maple Continent, to think there was someone this overwhelming strong aside from Xian the Limitless.�
“But isn’t this too much? No one would believe me if I told them what I saw here today; that Young Master Sol was defeated in two steps.�
As the crowd of disciples began an uproar some distance away because of the shocking scene they just witness, Anang suddenly glared over at them.
‘Two simple steps? These idiots know nothing. Those two steps were manipulating the Spiritual Qi in the surroundings to constrict me. I couldn’t even circulate my Internal Qi as a result. This is obviously a powerful Secret Art of some kind. And from the looks of it, those two steps are just a portion of it. Damn it, I’ll kill him. I’ll kill him for humiliating me like this!’
“Young Master Sol!�
Disciples from the Solitary Sword Sect began piling out of the Inn in a hurry. Some lifted up Anang after placing a coat over him.
“Let’s go.�
Anang said while glaring at Yang Su.
“This isn’t over.�
Yang Su heard Anang say as he got carried away by the disciples.
“If you think you can defeat me in a one-on-one match you\'re welcome to try again.�
After saying that, Yang Su turned and went to enter the Inn.
