Chapter 948 - 423: Blade!
Suddenly.
Xu Ran’s eyes narrowed as he looked up at the ghost-head saber’s shadow high above.
Under that immense pressure, there was unexpectedly a trace of another aura.
"What is that?"
At this moment, Xu Ran’s mind just raised the question when a massive saber shadow slowly descended.
It was the shadow of the ghost-head saber.
The shadow of the ghost-head saber descended very slowly, but the immense pressure rendered Xu Ran immobile.
The younger martial sister watching Xu Ran’s trial from the sidelines exclaimed in shock when she saw this scene.
"Hurry and dodge before it falls!"
Her voice was extremely anxious, as if at this moment, she was the one being suppressed by the ghost-head saber’s shadow in the dueling arena.
"There’s no way to dodge it!"
At this moment, the senior martial brother’s voice sounded from the side.
"This aura completely suppresses Xu Ran’s entire body, even though watching the ghost-head saber’s shadow descend is excruciatingly slow.
However, Xu Ran cannot move at this moment!
So, even if this saber shadow takes a whole year to fall, Xu Ran still can’t escape!"
The senior martial brother, who had experienced countless battles, knew very well what Xu Ran was going through!
In contrast, the eldest senior martial brother, who had just been murmuring to himself, was unusually quiet upon seeing the appearing ghost-head saber shadow.
His eyes remained fixed on the ghost-head saber shadow appearing high above.
"Ghost-head saber? Ghost Slash?"
Two phrases slipped from his mouth, immediately attracting the attention of the two beside him.
"Senior martial brother, do you know the origin of this baldhead?"
The younger martial sister’s attention instantly shifted.
She already understood that Xu Ran couldn’t avoid this move, so there was nothing more to do.
By contrast.
The identity of this baldhead in the dueling arena, compared to Xu Ran, was more significant.
Gossip is one of humanity’s natural instincts!
The younger martial sister’s voice rang out, and the eldest senior martial brother remained silent for a while, then suddenly spoke as he looked at the ghost-head saber high above.
"Have you noticed that the aura accompanying the ’Ghost Slash’ from the ghost-head saber is somewhat familiar?"
The eldest senior martial brother stared unblinkingly at the saber shadow high above.
"No, it’s not familiar, it’s a completely opposite aura!"
A bright gleam suddenly appeared in the eldest senior martial brother’s eyes, as if something had clicked in his mind at that moment.
His initially muddled and confused expression became clear and bright.
"Senior martial brother, now that you mention it, I do feel something!"
At this time, the senior martial brother chimed in.
Although the senior martial brother’s cultivation was lower than the eldest’s, his combat skills and experience were vast.
What he had seen in ancient texts and in his own battles couldn’t be simply equated.
When the ’Ghost Slash’ of the ghost-head saber emerged, he already felt something inexplicable stirring within him.
He felt as if this saber was created for something specific!
Initially, he wasn’t too sure.
But after the eldest senior martial brother’s words, the feeling grew stronger.
Suddenly, the two senior brothers started contemplating at the same time.
"Senior martial brother, what are you two talking about?"
At this time, the younger martial sister didn’t understand what they were discussing and could only watch with wide eyes as the two kept thinking.
Suddenly.
"Nether Abyss!"
In an instant, the eldest and senior martial brothers spoke in unison.
When these words came out, a gloomy wind rose at their location.
Following the direction of the gloomy wind, they saw the baldhead in the dueling arena, with glowing red eyes, staring intently at them.
At that moment, chills ran down their spines, and their ears seemed filled with the wailing of countless ghosts.
Fortunately, this sound only lasted a moment.
When the chills and wailing ceased, the glowing red eyes of the baldhead ceased to focus on them.
"Phew!"
At this moment.
The eldest senior martial brother let out a long sigh of relief, and without the baldhead’s red gaze, everything seemed light and carefree.
However, his peripheral vision caught the sight of the baldhead’s gaze, now with a faint smile, fixed on Xu Ran, ignoring them.
"It should be correct, it’s the Nether Abyss!"
Upon mentioning the Nether Abyss, the baldhead no longer paid attention to them, which meant it was fine, so he continued speaking.
"The aura of the ghost-head saber’s shadow is entirely opposite to the aura of the Nether Abyss, like light and darkness, innately opposed!"
Without the baldhead’s attention, the eldest senior martial brother relaxed, confidently speaking, resuming his previously wise demeanor.
"Indeed!"
The senior martial brother, having come to his senses, also agreed with the eldest’s words.
He, too, felt that the aura of the ghost-head saber shadow and the Nether Abyss was completely opposite!
"What does this mean?"
The always confused younger martial sister still couldn’t understand, looking bewildered.
Seeing her current state, the senior martial brother explained indulgently.
"The ghost-head saber’s shadow is entirely opposite to the Nether Abyss, which means this ’Ghost Slash’ was specifically created to target the Nether Abyss!"
The senior martial brother explained clearly, and the younger martial sister understood immediately.
"A saber technique specifically targeting the Nether Abyss?"
Though she understood, the younger martial sister still didn’t quite get it.
