Chapter 977: There Is An Exit In The Underground
Boom!
When the seal landed, everything within a radius of several kilometers collapsed at the same time. The “Thirty Six Earthly Fiend Swords” could not withstand its weight and crumbled inch by inch. Chu Wangsun himself was overshadowed by the seal as if he was too late to escape out of range.
Suddenly, alarm bells rang in the North Duke’s head. He turned his head just in time to lose half of his face to a formless sword qi that would have taken his head clean off. Blood streamed down his wound like a river.
The North Duke did not take the blow lying down, however. He spun around and unleashed a knife hand at the space behind him. There was a muffled groan, and an invisible silhouette was sent flying through the air.
“The ‘Shadowless Kill Sword’. You almost got me,” remarked the North Duke while staring at a certain point in space. He paid no attention to his bleeding face.
The “Shadowless Kill Sword” was the ultimate martial art of the Shadowless Tower. It was an unpredictable, difficult-to-grasp sword art that was said to be capable of killing someone instantly without a trace. “The sword left, and yet the man was nowhere to be found. The man left, and yet the sword was nowhere to be found.” It more or less described how the sword art functioned.
The “Shadowless Kill Sword” excelled at ambushes and assassination. It was an indefensible martial art to the large majority of warriors. As a result, the members of Shadowless Tower were often mistaken for assassins even though they were no assassin organization.
The “Shadowless Kill Sword” was a deadly martial art to begin with, but it was even scarier and more unpredictable in the hands of Chu Wangsun. Despite the North Duke’s power, he did not notice the deadly strike until the last possible moment. Although he was able to avoid the fatal blow, half of his face was still cut off when all was said and done.
“You’re welcome. Your ‘Knife Hand of Death’ deserves its fame as well.”
