Chapter 12 Su Cheng's Sword

Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows slightly.

Although she had only recently broken through to level 30, she was still a whole realm higher than Su Cheng, and her full-force attack was blocked.

Even if the other party seems to be struggling, it's still quite surprising.

Then another punch was thrown.

It was blocked again.

Two punches, three punches...

As the attacks rained down, Qian Renxue grew increasingly astonished.

She realized that trying to overpower him head-on was not enough to break through Su Cheng's seemingly simple defense.

Moreover, as time went on, the other party seemed to be getting more and more at ease.

With each step he took, his body swayed slightly, dissipating most of his power, while the remaining force was drawn away and diverted elsewhere by the sword techniques in his hands.

However, when Qian Renxue prepared to bypass the longsword and attack from other angles, she found that this simple defensive posture was watertight and difficult to overcome.

Her breathing began to become somewhat agitated.

"Second brother, did you figure it out?" Qian Daoliu, who had been silently watching the battle in the Hall of Worship, suddenly spoke up and asked the Golden Crocodile Douluo standing to the side.

"A self-created soul skill!" Even the powerful and knowledgeable Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "It's unimaginable. If this child had been even more talented, I wonder how high he could have reached..."

"That's right." Qian Daoliu nodded. "The key to this move is to block the enemy's first attack and suppress their momentum. It's especially suitable for dealing with powerful offensive soul skills like Xiaoxue's. Once the first hit is blocked, if the subsequent damage doesn't increase dramatically, it will be difficult to have another chance."

"And have you noticed that his defensive sword technique is almost forming a domain? At least with Xiaoxue's current strength, she can't break through this defense."

"I see. No wonder Xiaoxue had no choice but to launch a direct attack later on." Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly realized. "It seems it's a draw. That girl has always been arrogant, and she's probably going to be quite shaken this time."

"No, Xiaoxue is probably going to lose," Qian Daoliu said calmly.

"How is that possible?! Even if it comes down to a battle of soul power consumption, even if that kid uses all his self-created soul skills, he still can't possibly be a match for Xiaoxue, who has a six-winged angel martial soul and is already level 32."

"He's gathering his strength!" A faint golden light flickered in the eyes of the imposing old man as he intently watched the competition in the arena. "This sword strike is just the opening move."

Qian Daoliu was right; this sword strike was merely Su Cheng's opening move.

"That's about it." Su Cheng thought to himself as he felt the stagnation in his sword movements gradually increase.

The power he can draw upon is almost at the limit of what he can control.

But that's enough.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

With the balance of power shifting, he is no longer without a fighting chance.

Second Soul Skill: Sharpness.

The purple second spirit ring, taken from the Netherworld Wolf of 1100, lit up, and Su Cheng's second spirit skill was activated.

The effect of this soul skill is also extremely simple: it can greatly increase the sharpness of the longsword in one's hand.

Under his development, after using this soul skill, the Broken Sword Martial Soul can have an armor-piercing effect when attacking, and can also ignore the opponent's defense to a certain extent.

Simply put, it can cause real damage.

After completing the soul skill enhancement, he trembled his longsword, deflecting Qian Renxue's fist.

He then took a step back, gripping the sword with both hands and holding it upright in front of him—

"cut!"

With a single, vertical slash, he aimed straight at Qian Renxue's front.

It was extremely powerful and incredibly fast.

Seeing Su Cheng change his tactics and switch from defense to offense, Qian Renxue was first startled, then delighted.

She had previously thought it would be difficult to break through that sword-style defense, but she didn't expect Su Cheng to dare to take the initiative to attack.

However, this sword strike did indeed possess a certain imposing aura, its sharpness overwhelming and sending chills down one's spine, even making her, a Soul Venerable, feel some pressure.

With a quick movement, he prepared to temporarily avoid the attack and then launch a counterattack after the blow had passed.

However, just as she was about to dodge, her expression suddenly changed.

This sword strike cannot be avoided!

All escape routes seemed to be blocked by this sword strike; at least with her current eyesight and speed, she couldn't completely dodge it.

Forcibly avoiding it would only result in severe injury; at this point, she had no choice but to take the hit head-on!

Left with no other choice, Qian Renxue had to change her tactics.

The third spirit ring under his feet lit up, and a golden halo spread out like ripples on water, forming a golden light wall in front of him.

This is her third soul skill – Angel's Protection.

She decided to use this extremely defensive soul skill to block the attack first.

Although it consumes a lot of resources and may cause us to miss opportunities to counterattack and become passive, this is the only way.

Looking at the golden light barrier standing before him, Su Cheng's expression was solemn, his eyes unwavering.

What flashed through his eyes at this moment was not this defensive soul skill, but the scenes and images of countless times he had practiced swinging his sword.

This sword strike had long since become ingrained in his blood and marrow.

"break!"

He slashed down with his sword.

Before Qian Renxue's horrified eyes, the golden light barrier shattered with a deafening roar.

She had no choice but to use the force of the impact to keep retreating.

However, once locked in by this sword strike, she had no chance of escaping unscathed.

Left with no other choice, he crossed his arms to protect himself and attached a large amount of soul power to absorb the remaining power of the sword strike.

After being knocked back several feet, a trickle of blood spilled from his mouth.

"How can he be so strong?!" Qian Renxue was unable to calm down for a while, and she couldn't understand the fighting power that Su Cheng had shown.

"Hoo..." After taking a deep breath, she tried her best to suppress her distracting thoughts and revealed her last trump card.

She originally didn't want to use this move, or rather, she didn't think that defeating Su Cheng required using this move.

Golden light emanated from Qian Renxue once again, enveloping her entire body, even the pure white wings on her back were tinged with gold.

Then, rings of golden light rippled out, enveloping Su Cheng with strange and beautiful sounds.

Bathed in layers of light, everything around him became hazy and golden, and Su Cheng felt as if he had stepped into another world that seemed both real and illusory.

Under the shadow of this world, physical sensations are far less pleasant than visual ones.

A powerful pressure surged in from all directions, limiting his senses to an extremely narrow range.

Opposite him, Qian Renxue, with golden wings on her back, stood suspended in mid-air, like a god.

The feeling of his soul power being purified and dissolved reappeared, and it was much more pronounced than when she attacked him with her soul skills before.

"Angel's Realm..." Su Cheng immediately understood.

He silently sensed his own state of being, as well as the oppressive and eroding effects of his surroundings...

"That should be enough for one last all-out attack."

"Mr. Su is indeed formidable. If you can withstand my attack, then you win."

Qian Renxue's voice seemed to come from the horizon, yet it also seemed to be right next to her ear.

In reality, she was just putting on a nice front. After using Angel Domain, her soul power was already almost depleted.

Su Cheng did not answer, but silently raised the long sword in his hand and thrust it forward.
