Chapter 946 - 422: Shadow Kill!
Rumble---
Even so, on the dueling arena, the roar echoed continuously, lasting for several breaths before it stopped.
The dust created on the dueling arena quickly dissipated.
Of the dozens of figures previously on the dueling arena, now only a single gray silhouette stood dumbfounded in place.
The ring-headed saber held in hand showed cracks like a spider web on its blade, about to shatter at any moment!
"Whew!"
At that moment.
A faint breeze swept over the ring-headed saber in its hand, and in the next instant, a clattering sound was heard.
Looking in the direction of the sound, the already cracked ring-headed saber had shattered completely, falling to the ground.
"Impossible... how could the Shadow Killing Blade Technique be broken? This was the sword technique created by the Grand General, with which the Shadow Kill Legion was invincible!
How could it fail in this place?"
A hoarse and ethereal voice echoed in the dueling arena.
Looking toward the voice, it was emitted by the gray silhouette.
The entire figure was trembling uncontrollably, coordinating with the sound it made.
Xu Ran did not answer the gray silhouette’s words.
At this moment.
His eyes, shining with a faint golden hue, had a tint of blue in them.
This touch of blue was previously covered by the ’Overlapping Wave Slash’.
Within the eyes, the remnants of the sword light and shadow lingered, replaying continuously, as if in a loop, with every technique, every move, being repeated infinitely.
Xu Ran was savoring repeatedly the intent of the blade left by the ’Overlapping Wave Slash’, replaying over and over again before his eyes.
In just an instant, the number of times ’Overlapping Wave Slash’ was executed had reached tens of thousands!
In this process, Xu Ran’s comprehension of the ’Overlapping Wave Slash’ was continuously deepening!
Meanwhile.
Upon seeing Xu Ran’s current actions, the bald man’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up abruptly.
Immediately, gusts of wind roared around, and blood-red hues danced in the air, as if even the wind had taken on color.
"Battle Recount?"
A voice hoarse as if produced by grinding steel echoed in the dueling arena.
The moment this voice appeared, the gusting wind in the sky above the arena paused in that instant.
"Battle Recount?"
Outside the dueling arena, Second Senior Brother and Little Junior Sister, observing Xu Ran’s trial, spoke in unison, their faces full of confusion.
Now, things have become interesting.
Second Senior Brother, who was born in ancient times, witnessed the most prosperous and the most declining periods of the Origin Realm.
During this process, he encountered countless geniuses, countless divine techniques, countless constitutions...
Yet, during this process, he had never heard the term ’Battle Recount’.
Little Junior Sister was the same.
She, although born later.
As the most gifted in soul talents since the beginning of the Origin Realm, she was born into the most powerful family of that era.
In such circumstances, she still had not heard the term ’Battle Recount’.
At the same time.
Both of them turned their gaze to Senior Brother.
If among the three, anyone might know the meaning of ’Battle Recount’, it could only be Senior Brother.
After all, the ancient books in the Nine-layered Giant Tower Study were all-encompassing, even more comprehensive than the collections of so-called great families.
Therefore, it was very possible that Senior Brother might know.
But the possibility was slim.
Senior Brother, being stared at by the two, furrowed his brow, his eyes filled with contemplation.
"Shadow Killing Blade Technique? Grand General? Battle Recount?"
Senior Brother murmured to himself, repeating these three words, fully immersed in his own world, completely unaware of Second Senior Brother and Little Junior Sister.
After a moment.
"Shadow Killing Blade Technique? This technique, the impression is very vague, seems like I’ve heard of it, but then again, maybe not."
The words from Senior Brother’s mouth were ambiguous, leaving Second Senior Brother and Little Junior Sister, who were familiar with him, somewhat bewildered.
"Senior Brother, are you alright?" Little Junior Sister asked with concern.
Indeed.
Such a state in Senior Brother was one they had never seen before.
In their hearts, Senior Brother was always an extremely rational and wise figure, would never utter such vague words.
Only knowing or not knowing.
Just as Second Senior Brother was about to continue showing concern, Senior Brother’s eyes suddenly shone brightly, but quickly dimmed.
Then, looking towards the bald figure on the dueling arena.
"This so-called general should be him."
"But..." Senior Brother paused, "Something I don’t know about is at least not recorded in the study’s ancient books, and its existence must be at least from ancient times!"
"In ancient times, only at the very beginning, there would be no records! Only oral transmission!"
"Moreover, the stories passed down, after a long period of spreading, would have their authenticity greatly reduced!"
"And indeed, during ancient times, I’ve never heard of the existence of armies!!"
According to their understanding.
The existence of armies should at least be in the mid-ancient period.
During that era, the cultivation system in the Origin Realm gradually took shape, and increasingly more people’s cultivation became stronger.
Some great powers, to control more Origin Realm resources, established dynasties with their own powerful cultivation.
From that time on, armies existed.
