Chapter 75
Lightning strikes.
Kwaang!
I spun my body and slashed sideways at the guy who was closing in on me with the thunderbolt, and the guy who had blocked it with his sword face up against the centrifugal force of the blow was pushed back.
I raised my sword and released a thunderbolt, and the creature was sent sprawling into thin air with blue sword energy emanating from the tip. It was a Heavenly Wind Sword Technique.
Quadrup!
Seeing that he had built up enough strength to pierce through the thunderbolt, I briefly marveled. I smiled as I realized that the seven years had not been wasted.
The thunderbolt’s conflicting Heavenly Wind energy was another Southern Palace specimen. The thunder and the wind, the two could not be separated.
One by one, I struck another thunderbolt. Unlike the thunderbolt I had just thrown, this one contained the power of thunder.
Quadrup!
The same lightning bolt of lightning fell, and the guy who thought he could just parry it, clenched his teeth against the thunder energy flowing through the tip of his sword, trying to shake it off.
I didn’t miss the moment.
Kwang! Kwao! Kwao!
Three thunderbolts in quick succession, and finally the creature couldn’t take it anymore and bounced backward, and I drew my lead sword.
“Damn.”
The fallen creature staggered and stabbed his sword into the ground. When he finally got to his feet, he bared his teeth at me.
“……Said it was a sword.”
“After all that killing, you seem to recognize it now.”
“I haven’t shown you everything, so don’t think this is all there is.”
