417: Cut the Waves

Clang, clang, clang!

As their weapons continuously collided, Cao Jianfei's blood boiled, and the Battle Intent in his eyes grew increasingly intense.

"Again!"

With a furious roar, the magic in his body erupted wildly, causing his physique to instantly expand by a third, almost bursting his tailored combat suit.

An even more powerful force erupted within him, making the greatsword in his hand slash out with even greater speed.

Amidst the ear-piercing whoosh, this sword, leaving an afterimage, appeared almost instantly before Liang Shiqiu.

"Do you think I'm as reckless as you?"

However, this time, facing Cao Jianfei's attack, Liang Shiqiu did not choose to meet force with force. Instead, he moved his feet, and his figure instantly vanished from his original spot.

Boom!

The greatsword, carrying terrifying power, slammed into the ground, causing the ground to shake violently, and the bursting Sword Qi cut out a crack several meters long.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Liang Shiqiu appeared like a ghost beside Cao Jianfei, slashing his horizontal saber towards his neck.

Clang!

Cao Jianfei stepped back, dragging his greatsword horizontally in front of him, directly blocking the strike.

Immediately after, he exerted force in his arm, lifting the greatsword upwards, its blade pointing directly between Liang Shiqiu's legs.

However...

As soon as he moved, his expression suddenly changed.

After missing with one strike, Liang Shiqiu's figure instantly vanished from his sight.

Whoosh!

The next second, a whooshing sound came from behind his head, and the sharp Qi stimulated Cao Jianfei's hair to stand on end.

"Damn it!"

Without time to think, Cao Jianfei quickly lowered himself, half-crouching on the ground, dodging the attack in a disheveled posture.

But as the battle saber grazed over his head, he twisted his body with a surge of power from his waist, sweeping the greatsword horizontally behind him, hoping to force Liang Shiqiu into a collision.

But...

After the greatsword swept through, it only tore through an afterimage; Liang Shiqiu had already moved positions after his attack missed.

"Damn it!"

"Old Liang, when did you become so good at hiding, like a rat?"

"If you have the guts, fight me like a man..."

Having lost track of Liang Shiqiu again, Cao Jianfei couldn't help but curse.

Whoosh!

Before he could finish his sentence, a snow-white saber light tore through the air beside him, descending with a furious whoosh. Before the saber even arrived, the sharp Qi made his skin tingle.

Cao Jianfei's heart jolted. He pushed off the ground with one foot and quickly retreated.

Rip!

Although he dodged in time, the snow-white saber light still left a bloodline across his chest.

"Damn it!"

"Old Liang, can you fight me fair and square like a man?"

The wound on his chest made Cao Jianfei grimace in pain. He warily looked around, his tone quite irritable.

"Fighting head-on with a brute like you? I'm not crazy!"

A playful voice came from all directions. Cao Jianfei concentrated, trying to sense the direction of the sound, but he couldn't pinpoint it at all.

"Damn it!"

Then, just as he was about to say a few more words to try and pinpoint Liang Shiqiu's location, a sharp pressure suddenly fell upon him from above.

Liang Shiqiu's figure appeared above his head, the battle saber in his hand spitting out incomparably sharp saber light, striking down at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Facing this attack, Cao Jianfei quickly held his sword horizontally above his head to block.

Boom!

The battle saber and greatsword collided, unleashing an extremely terrifying shockwave that directly shredded the nearest trees.

After blocking this strike, Cao Jianfei's feet were embedded in the ground, and the greatsword held horizontally above his head was pressed so hard it was almost touching his scalp.

"Ah!"

He roared, mustering all his strength and shaking his arm, intending to send Liang Shiqiu flying.

However, as soon as he moved, he found the force from above had loosened.

After one strike, Liang Shiqiu retreated immediately, his entire being flickering into three figures that appeared around Cao Jianfei.

These three figures were remarkably lifelike, their Qi identical, making it impossible to tell which one was the main body and which were Clones.

The next second, the three Liang Shiqius charged forward, the saber light on their battle sabers flashing, tearing through the air as they slashed down rapidly.

Amidst the ear-piercing whoosh, Cao Jianfei's expression became incredibly solemn. He heavily plunged his greatsword into the ground, the blade sinking in for a full meter.

Boom!

The three battle sabers struck down. Just as they were about to land on Cao Jianfei's body, they collided with a defensive shield formed by sharp Sword Qi.

"You're using this turtle shell so soon?"

"Old Cao, you've regressed quite a bit lately!"

The violent shockwave dispersed two of the illusions, but Liang Shiqiu's expression was incredibly excited.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

At this moment, he was enveloped in a hazy electric light, his entire being as fast as lightning, constantly moving around Cao Jianfei, launching a frantic assault with his battle saber.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!

For a time, collision sounds rang out continuously. The saber light, tearing through everything, fell like raindrops, completely enveloping Cao Jianfei.

Under this attack, the Sword Qi shield grew increasingly dim, and Cao Jianfei's face, inside it, turned pale.

"Damn it, Old Liang, when did you get so fast?"

His eyes held a hint of surprise as he frantically pondered a way to break free.

He had fought Liang Shiqiu before, but it had always been a back-and-forth, never like this where he was completely suppressed.

"Can't wait any longer!"

The pressure from all sides grew greater and greater. A fierce glint flashed in Cao Jianfei's eyes.

"Blade Storm!"

He roared, violently pulling out the greatsword plunged into the ground.

Swish, swish, swish!!

For a moment, sword light flashed, and the greatsword, wielded by Cao Jianfei, formed a Sword Qi tornado that enveloped the surroundings.

Under the sharp Sword Qi, within a radius of tens of meters, sand and stones flew, the air was cut into black lines, and the snow-white saber light was instantly suppressed.

"He's finally using that move!"

As Liang Shiqiu's body was shaken and sent flying backward, an astonishing gleam suddenly burst forth from his eyes.

"Last time, that move of yours caught me off guard. Today, I finally have a chance to get my revenge!"

After landing, he shattered the ground with a kick and charged forward, dragging his battle saber.

"Watch me break your Blade Storm!"

Upon reaching close proximity, Liang Shiqiu took a deep breath, his arm muscles bulging and directly tearing his sleeves.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

Amidst the flying sleeve fragments, a sky full of saber light erupted, and a sharp aura permeated in all directions, cutting cracks into the ground.

"Wave Cleave!"

With a roar, Liang Shiqiu pressed his battle saber forward. The sky full of saber light instantly merged into one, transforming into a massive saber light five meters long, tearing through the air and slashing down towards Cao Jianfei.

After this strike, the terrifying force compressed the air within tens of meters around him, solidifying it, and the ground was pressed down by a third.

Boom!

The next second, the saber light heavily landed on the Blade Storm. After a brief stalemate, a thunderous collision erupted.

"Damn it! Old Liang, you're actually targeting me this much?!"

"We're not done with this!"

Amidst the exasperated shouts, as the rolling dust dissipated, only Liang Shiqiu's figure remained in the original spot.
