Chapter 757: The Two Prodigies
After striking the West Guardian King with a blade, Yao Pei unexpectedly turned to attack the East Guardian King.
The East Guardian King truly could not figure out Yao Pei’s intentions. A person’s thoughts were usually guided by both logic and emotion, but once emotion was discarded, normal reasoning no longer applied.
The East Guardian King could only spin around rapidly, his long sword moving in tandem with him like a dragon. Sword qi surged in all directions, forming a dense and seamless web around him that extended outward. Though the Confucian Lesser Four Seasons Sword Technique could not rival the true Four Seasons Sword Technique, it still had its merits. Against a normal opponent, not the unreasonably overpowered Daoist prodigies, even with one arm lost, he could still claim unshakable defense if not outright victory.
But with the Daoist prodigy Yao Pei as his opponent, that confidence vanished.
Indeed, what seemed like a flawless net of sword qi appeared full of holes before Yao Pei. She slipped effortlessly through the outer gaps of the web, as if walking through an unmanned domain.
Shocked, the East Guardian King pushed himself to the limit, unleashing a torrent of sword qi, capable of shredding anything in its path to bits. A typical Xiantian Being caught within this web would be instantly reduced to a mist of blood. He even sent the sword qi into the ground to prevent Yao Pei from using the Earth Escape Method.
At that moment, everything lost its color. Only stark black and white remained.
The East Guardian King suddenly froze in place. Even his thoughts came to a halt.
The surging sword qi also halted at the final instant. Once formless, the threads of energy were now visibly frozen in place.
Yao Pei was the only figure still in vivid color. She walked through the motionless waves of sword qi and came before the East Guardian King, then beheaded him with a single slash.
Due to Yao Pei’s limited cultivation, she could not unleash the Staff of Merit’s full power. Its effect only influenced a small area, so the Server and the West Guardian King remained unaffected. Upon seeing this scene, both were horrified to the core.
