Chapter 944 - 421: Devouring!
"The technique has changed!"
Suddenly, the eldest senior brother’s voice rang in his ears, instantly drawing the gaze of the junior sister and second senior brother towards the dueling arena.
The remaining dozens of shadows simultaneously sheathed their Ring-Headed Sabers, and in an instant, the saber hilts spun in their palms at an extremely odd angle.
"Buzz--"
"Buzz--"
"Buzz--"
"Buzz--"
"..."
As the Ring-Headed Sabers spun in their palms, streaks of white saber light rose from the saber tips. Suddenly, dozens of saber lights surged towards Xu Ran from all directions.
During their flight, these saber lights autonomously weaved into a chain-like light net.
This newly risen light net instantaneously blocked all of Xu Ran’s escape routes, enveloping his entire body within.
Wherever the light net passed, sonic booms erupted in the air, extremely piercing to the ears.
Faced with the situation, a surge of crisis welled up in Xu Ran’s heart.
"Another change in technique?"
He was somewhat surprised.
He had thought that the shadows merely mastering a single Combined Skill was already quite formidable, but he hadn’t expected there to be a second move.
Moreover, this second Combined Skill appeared exceedingly abruptly.
If the first Combined Skill was akin to slowly emerging from the water, traceable, then this light net emerged completely out of the blue.
There was no prior setup from any technique, and its speed was exceedingly swift, making it impossible for Xu Ran to analyze its weaknesses in such a brief moment.
"Humph!" Xu Ran responded with a cold snort, "Interesting!"
Instantly, his gaze turned fiery, and his eyes began to harbor anticipation.
"I wonder, the saber technique I’ve just comprehended, when compared to your light net, which is stronger?"
Indeed.
The saber technique that Xu Ran successfully used to slay those three shadows was what he comprehended from the saber techniques of these shadows.
The previous horizontal slash wasn’t really a saber technique, so there was no way to test its power.
But now, this light net presented him with an experimental opportunity.
Even if the saber technique failed, he still had his physical strength to rely on, leaving no issues whatsoever.
Besides, Xu Ran had utmost confidence in the saber technique he had comprehended!
As he pondered, the light net formed by dozens of saber lights had already reached Xu Ran, its massive slaughter intent charging straight at him.
The sharpness confronted him as if it could slice Xu Ran into chunks of flesh.
If it weren’t for Xu Ran’s past trials through storms, just this overwhelming slaughter intent would obstruct most people here.
"Overlapping Wave Slash!"
Just as the light net was about to arrive, Xu Ran let out an angry roar.
Simultaneously.
He spun to his left, his right hand gripping the Ring-Headed Saber, which seemed to twist in the air, rolling up and down like waves.
Instantly.
"Crash--"
Instantly, the entire dueling arena seemed to echo with the sound of waves, while the mist in the arena seemed purified, filling the space with a refreshing scent, making one feel delightful!
"What is this sound? Waves?" the junior sister asked, confused, "But where are the waves here? And there’s a fragrant scent!"
This is the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, and it’s still a trial, how could there be the sound of waves? How could there be a fragrance?
"It’s Xu Ran!"
The second senior brother immediately answered.
"Look at the Ring-Headed Saber in his hand, the saber technique he performed distorted space, making it feel like waves with layers stacking upon each other!"
The battle-experienced second senior brother immediately saw the wonders of Xu Ran’s saber technique.
"Indeed!" the eldest senior brother concurred, "This saber technique’s power keeps escalating. As long as Xu Ran can strike enough times, his power will stack to an unimaginable degree!"
When the eldest senior brother spoke, his tone was filled with admiration.
Xu Ran.
Such a prodigious child, not yet two years old, could transform from someone who couldn’t wield a saber to a master of self-created saber techniques in such a short time.
Moreover, the technique level wasn’t low.
Overlapping Wave Slash.
That indeed is an infinitely stacking saber technique, theoretically, as long as you have sufficient power, you can stack it to an incredibly terrifying level.
If given time, it might directly pierce through the Origin Realm’s space!
"Interesting!"
In the dueling arena, the bald-headed man observed Xu Ran’s saber technique, his voice hoarse with excitement.
His voice exuded extreme exhilaration.
This kind of excitement seemed as though finding a perfect opponent, exceedingly thrilled.
This thrill would peak as he completely subdued Xu Ran!
Amid the several onlookers’ shock.
Xu Ran swung his saber.
"One Stack!"
Instantly, a streak of blue saber light hacked forth, cleaving open the light net on Xu Ran’s left.
"Boom--"
With a loud bang, a gap appeared in the light net, precisely where Xu Ran’s Overlapping Wave Slash targeted.
The light net, initially sealing all routes for Xu Ran, whether advancing or retreating, was now breached.
Now, the light net had an opening for Xu Ran to escape.
But before excitement settled.
The light net, freshly breached, swiftly repaired itself.
Simultaneously, three streaks of saber light shot out like Poisonous Snakes from the light net on Xu Ran’s right.
