I rely on myself

Chapter 39: Sword of Reverse Light

The sound of swords clashing was endless, fierce sparks continued to bloom around the two men, and the atmosphere was also driven by their powerful strength, turning into invisible wind blades that spread all around.

"I can do it!" Lin Yuan once again blocked Bi Yi's attack and fought back without showing any weakness.

Under the strongest pressure from Bi Yi, Lin Yuan grew at an unprecedented speed. If he couldn't move as fast as the opponent, he would learn the opponent's steps. If he couldn't swing his sword as powerfully as the opponent, he would learn the opponent's movements.

In this way, Lin Yuan absorbed all the nutrients that could help him grow from Edwards and successfully kept pace with him.

Edwards was very calm about this, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Lin Yuan once again blocked Edwards' attack and was about to swing his sword back.

At this time, an accident occurred. Lin Yuan suddenly felt that his body slowed down. His magic power had not been exhausted and his will could be maintained, but it just slowed down.

This slowness undoubtedly exposed Lin Yuan's weakness. Seeing this, Edwards of course attacked Lin Yuan with a powerful blow without hesitation.

In an instant, Lin Yuan turned into a cannonball and was blown away, smashing into a wall with hatred, raising a lot of dust.

Seeing this, Edwards did not pursue, but just stood there quietly waiting.

'Your life possibilities have undoubtedly come to an end at this moment, so whether you can succeed in the future depends on yourself.'

On the other side, Lin Yuan, who fell in the ruins and was buried by rubble and sand, also found the reason why he slowed down.

Chains that only Lin Yuan himself could see tightly bound every part of his body. Although they did not completely restrict Lin Yuan's movements, whenever Lin Yuan used strength beyond a certain limit, the chains would exert an extremely strong binding force, limiting the strength he could use within a certain limit.

"Is this the restraint from fate? Although I was aware of their existence before, I never felt restrained, so I underestimated them and was careless."

Lin Yuan felt his own situation. Whenever Lin Yuan wanted to mobilize the magic power in his body, it was like an invisible barrier that limited the strength of the magic power.

At the same time, a voice coming from nowhere sounded in Lin Yuan's mind.

'Give up, what you have now is not the path to happiness.'

Hearing this, Lin Yuan ignored it and just continued to mobilize the magic power in his body as usual.

"Why, why do you have to work so hard? You can still move forward even if you give up, right? After all, relying on your selves in other worlds, your strength will become stronger with each exchange, right?"

This is of course, Lin Yuan has known this fact for a long time. Indeed, what can be communicated in the foggy space is only spirit and perception, not power. However, in the process of repeated exchanges, one's own spirit will be greatly improved, thereby driving the improvement of Lin Yuan's own strength. So even if he stops training, with repeated exchanges, no matter which Lin Yuan is, he will become stronger over time.

"But this is too cowardly." This was Lin Yuan's first reaction. Even if he stopped fighting like this, Lin Yuan's strength would continue to grow, but anyone with a little ambition would not accept this kind of alms-like strengthening.

Not to mention someone like Lin Yuan who has already made up his mind to reach the top through his own efforts. He can accept help from other worlds, but he cannot accept himself just accepting help without giving anything in return.

Because it would make him feel disgusting.

Pushing aside the gravel and dust in front of him, Lin Yuan stood up again, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands and getting ready. Although he was now unable to make progress due to the constraints of fate, and would definitely lose his life if he continued to fight, the best choice was actually to turn around and retreat immediately.

But Lin Yuan couldn't do it, because this was a challenge he had proposed himself, and his dignity would not allow him to abandon the challenge he had initiated halfway.

"Although I don't know your name, you are a respectable knight, so I will use my sword to the fullest to take your life."

Edwards admired the knight in front of him because his determination was so beautiful and not shaken by anything. Because of this, Edwards would take his life next. This was the etiquette a knight should have.

Edwards mobilized all his strength and instantly increased his speed to 100%. He arrived in front of Lin Yuan silently, crossed his swords and raised them above his head, and then light appeared.

At this moment, Bi Yi's slashing attack truly reached the speed of light.

This sword is sharper than ever before.

This sword is more powerful than ever before.

In an instant, the slash had touched Lin Yuan's armor and cut it open easily. The next moment, Lin Yuan would die under this sword.

A strong breath of death instantly surged into Lin Yuan's mind, making his consciousness more focused than ever before. It was also because of this that everything in his mind became extremely clear and slow.

Seeing that Bi Yi's sword had easily cut into his armor, Lin Yuan knew that his defeat was inevitable. Even if he could still swing his sword now, he would not be able to stop the other party's sword.

Try your best, give full play to all your potential, and strive to climb to a higher level. As a knight, Lin Yuan should have felt satisfied.

But it was not like that. The obsession in my heart was still shouting, "I am not dead yet, I can still swing my sword. So how can I watch the other party's sword hit me without doing anything?!"

"That's right!!!" Lin Yuan began to mobilize his body. Even though his body was still bound by fate, Lin Yuan was unwilling to just watch.

As a knight, faced with such extraordinary sword skills, how could he not draw his own sword to fight back.

The chains were making noises as they were struggling like never before. At this moment, Lin Yuan forgot all thoughts about the demon, fate, purpose, etc. He only had one thought left, which was...

'I will strike back with my sword.'

When this thought was the only thing left in Lin Yuan's mind, he saw the moment when Bi Yi raised their swords to attack him. Lin Yuan subconsciously raised his sword in front of them to block them, but that was impossible because it was a scene that had already passed.

The next moment, an accident happened. The sword in Lin Yuan's hand actually touched the two swords that Bi Yi had not yet swung, making an unprecedented crisp sword sound.

As the sound rang out, the world seemed to have changed, yet it also seemed as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, the figures of Lin Yuan and Edwards changed. Lin Yuan raised his sword with both hands, just blocking the two swords that were raised high above his head and swung downwards. The originally illusory scene became reality at this moment, and the scene where Lin Yuan was unable to resist and was about to be killed became an illusion at this moment. Cause and effect changed at this moment.

This is Lin Yuan's personal understanding, the magic sword "Anti-light Sword" that can even reverse cause and effect.
