Swordbound Chronicles

Amazing fight.

Ice-shaped Qi energy, resembling sharp snow lotus beads, thrown at high speed from Suma Chen's sword tip towards Duan Anming's chest turned hundreds of ice lotuses gliding towards Duan Anming.

"Go away...!"

Duan Anming shouted, and his body spun like a whirlwind, releasing dark and perverted spirits from the tip of his short sword. The spirits glared and opened their mouths, brutally swallowing all the lotus petals.

What a meaningless attack," Duan Anming mocked.

However, just as he finished speaking, the shadow of a sword beam approached his neck with the speed of a reaper. With a strange speed, the sword beam was suddenly in front of his eyes, delivering a deadly slash to his neck. This was accompanied by a gust of icy vapor that carried murderous air, leaving him asphyxiated.

Duan Anming released Qi and formed a dark shield to protect himself from the strange attack. He slid backwards, away from the mysterious attack.

"Insolent! This Snow Lotus Pure Heart Sword Technique is strange but dangerous. So fast and deadly," cursed Duan Anming inwardly.

"Now you try experiencing this Red Skull Claw Technique!" The intoxicating fishy scent of blood came out from both of Duan Anming's hands. He grasped a glove containing six short swords, which continuously emitted black smoke. His body disappeared in the thick smoke, zigzagging with speed, rivaling even the movements of Elves.

Suma Chen prepared to defend himself with a Defense Technique. The thin ice wall that formed the shape of a large Ice Lotus protected him. The intoxicating scent of blood claws made him dizzy. When he flowed Qi throughout his body to overcome the intoxicating scent, three short swords suddenly appeared in front of him. Each separated and headed for Suma Chen's head, chest, and Dantian. What a deadly technique.

Suma Chen did not panic; his right hand moved quickly to form the Ice Lotus Pure Heart Sword Technique defense technique. Two swords were extended to deal with the attacks towards the head and chest, while his left hand magically took out a sword sheath to block the attacks towards the Dantian.

TRANG!

Suma Chen successfully blocked three short sword attacks. However, Duan Anming did not stop. The 2nd, 3rd, and so on blows were aimed at deadly areas on Suma Chen's body. The Blood Skull Claw technique, an Earth rank blow, emphasized not only the intoxicating sword venom but also the ruthlessness and relentless attacks. These consecutive attacks gave the opponent little chance to breathe and prepare to retaliate.

On the other side, Duan Anming became increasingly brutal and unleashed ruthless techniques. His curiosity towards his Elven opponent made him even more curious. Although his sword techniques had slaughtered energy, his Qi energy remained clean. Suma Chen's dodging speed made Duan Anming's attacks miss or be blocked.

"Well... You pushed me to this point, Suma Chen. And it was only because of this single Ice Rose flower. Now, I won't play around anymore," Duan Anming sighed as he bit his finger until it bled. The blood dripped onto the object he picked up inside the spatial ring.

"Let's die together," Duan Anming said as he slammed the bloodied object down. From the ground emerged a giant skull, about 10 meters across. Despite its size, the skull moved quickly. The skull's Cultivation Realm was like Duan Anming, an Intermediate Great Realm Spirit.

''Kill him!'' ordered Duan Anming, pointing at Suma Chen. The demon and the skull attacked together. Duan Anming's rumbling voice and irregular cries accompanied their attacks, creating a tense atmosphere.

Suma Chen who originally seemed to be dominating, now felt the pressure. The Qi that came out from the skull punch created an effect that could shatter a hill, showing the power of a mid-level Great Spirit Realm. Cleverly, Suma Chen managed to avoid attacks towards his head which was always the target of skull punches.

On the other hand, Duan Anming, with the Red Skull Claw short sword series, picked out targets at deadly points on Suma Chen's chest. Suma Chen found it difficult to deal with the Great Spirit Realm Expert's attacks as if fighting against an expert at the peak of the Great Spirit Realm realm.

The battle between Suma Chen and Duan Anming lasted four hours. During that time they consumed pills and used talismans to repair and replenish their nearly depleted energy. This battle required high-grade pills and high-level talismans.

No signs of fatigue

Suma Chen completely pulled out all the stops, turning the surrounding battle area from rain puddles into thick snow. The night atmosphere full of mist and rain was now even colder. As a bonus, the Elves dropped ice lotus flower flakes that fell on the battle area.

Duan Anming, at that moment, looked like a beggar, clothes in tatters, blood dripping from all over his body from the broken Ice Lotus petals. His skull also appeared damaged, with cracks visible on the chest and skull.

Meanwhile, Suma Chen was in equally bad shape, with the skin on his face and wrists turning black from the poisonous fumes of Duan Anming's six short swords. Fortunately, the heavy rain helped Suma Chen as the ice energy in his body processed the rainwater into snowflakes.

As an Elven race, ice was the source of cultivation, and the ice essence helped Suma Chen stay awake and conscious even though the poison had entered his body.

Suddenly, Suma Chen infused Ice Lotus Qi energy into his sword at full power. Coldly, he said, "Break!"

Suma Chen's sword darted towards Duan Anming, forming a beautiful Lotus flower pattern with random and confusing movements. Suma Chen closed his eyes while chanting a sword incantation.

"Break! Quasi Sword Intent!" Duan Anming shouted with a cry of horror.

His opponent had quasi-stage sword intent, which had never happened in thousands of years. No living being, human, Elf, demon, or Dark Elf, understood the essence of sword intent.

Before him, Duan Anming fought against a sword master who understood quasi-stage sword intent. He would have become a corpse long ago if it was rank one sword intent. Duan Anming began to regret his decision to fight against this Elf.

There was a light sound as the Elf's sword cut through Duan Anming's head like a knife cutting through butter. Duan Anming's head was blown away while the sword moved beautifully back to its master, Suma Chen.

BANG!

The claws of the living skull briefly touched Suma Chen's chest before finally falling motionless as its controller, Duan Anming, was already dead. Suma Chen was thrown back while spewing blood. His face was pale.

In the distance, 100 meters further away, the two small children who witnessed the fierce battle were extremely shocked when a human head fell in front of them. Duan Anming's face looked dumbfounded, with a deep impression of regret.

Yi Zan was about to scream as loud as she could, but Yuan Fen quickly jumped towards her and covered the girl's mouth to prevent her from making a sound. They realized that even if they were seriously injured, the Elves in the distance could still kill them with a flick of a finger.

"Don't make a sound! Stt," Yuan Fen whispered very tensely. He tried to calm Yi Zan down. The girl tried to overcome her fear by looking outside the cave, but her panic grew stronger.

"Big brother, look towards the Elf over there..." Yi Zan trembled while whispering to Yuan Fen.

As Yuan Fen turned his gaze to the battle between Duan Anming and Suma Chen, he felt a creeping horror in his body. All of his hair stood up.

The elf stood with sharp eyes as if it could penetrate the cave and scrutinized Yuan Fen's insides. "That elf has known of our existence from the start; there's nothing we can do but..."

"Run!" shouted Yi Zan without hesitation; they crossed through the heavy rain and ran towards the road leading to the Cloud Sword sect.

The hearts of the two children were full of fear. They thought that this time, they would die in the Elf's hands. But there was no choice but to run as fast as they could!
