Chapter 332: Farewell
A single raindrop fell from the sky and landed—of all places—on the blade tinged with a violet hue. Normally, when a raindrop hits something hot, it vanishes with a sizzle—chiiik—but when it touched the wooden sword, it disappeared without a sound.
Was it because the surroundings were noisy?
Or had I simply missed the faint sound?
I looked around at the Four Heavenly Kings with a puzzled expression, and absurdly enough, I ended up sharing that question with them.
Even in this moment of life and death, the Red King asked me, “Sect Leader, what martial art is that, exactly?”
It wasn’t easy to answer. If I spoke and missed even a single breath, the four of them might surge at me all at once.
“......”
With a light tuk, tuk, raindrops began to fall, thin and steady. But I figured I wouldn’t be able to choose a proper counterattack unless I saw how the Four Heavenly Kings moved, so I opened my mouth.
“This is...”
All four of them attacked at once. Using the tensile force in my left hand, I smashed the ground and leapt upward. Even before the ceiling collapsed, all four were already airborne.
Soaring diagonally upward, I swung the wooden sword wrapped in the violet sword energy of Zaha toward the Red King. In that instant, the Red King’s sword was sliced cleanly as if it were tofu. He tried to pull back his shoulder to dodge the sword energy but ended up crashing to the ground, while I landed safely on the edge and glared at the remaining three.
When I split the Red King’s sword in a single slash, the expressions on the other Heavenly Kings were a sight to behold.
