CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 271: GOD-SLAYING SWORD TECHNIQUE

Hearing Luo Chen suddenly stop his footsteps, the girl in the black dress slowly turned her head, staring at him with a cold and unfeeling expression. At that moment, Luo Chen felt as if a sharp arrow had pierced his heart, his breath almost came to an abrupt halt. Her gaze was more ruthless than Leng Han, more cruel and tyrannical than Thunderstorm. Those blue eyes seemed to hide thousands of hardships and endless vicissitudes, making her utterly unyielding.

Her lips were much thinner than those of ordinary people and even paler in color. Luo Chen felt that those thin lips were like blades capable of harming people invisibly, ready to pierce the enemy’s heart at any moment. He did not know what this cold-hearted girl had experienced to become so ruthless and cold, but he knew he must tread carefully, or he might become her next target under the sword.

In this tense and eerie atmosphere, Luo Chen and the girl in the black dress stared at each other for a long time. Finally, it was Luo Chen who broke the silence. He tried to communicate with her in a calm tone, hoping to dissolve this sudden crisis. However, the girl in the black dress only looked at him coldly, as if observing a prey about to die.

Luo Chen’s heart tightened; he knew this confrontation would not end easily. He must find a way to deal with this cold-hearted girl, or he might face greater danger. In the dense woods, a battle of life and death was quietly unfolding.

Seeing Luo Chen’s appearance, the girl showed no apparent change in expression. She quietly raised the short blade in her hand, pointing it towards Luo Chen, uttering not a single word, yet her intention was crystal clear. The icy, sharp sword tip seemed to foretell the upcoming battle.

The vulture picking at the corpse nearby suddenly stopped feeding and flew up into the air, beating its dark wings. It seemed to have also sensed the surge of killing intent emanating from the girl. That killing intent was sharp and bone-chilling, causing people to shiver involuntarily.

Luo Chen reacted almost instinctively, swiftly drawing the Divine Fire Sword from his back. He took a slight step back, body tense, assuming a tight defensive stance. The Divine Fire Sword trembled slightly in his hand, emitting a buzzing sound, as if resonating with him, yearning for the imminent battle.

The corners of the girl’s mouth slightly curved, revealing an eerie smile. Her hand moved the short sword abruptly, and a surge of blue ice-cold power suddenly emerged. This power was chilling and formidable, as if it could freeze everything around it.

A Water-attribute Soul Cultivator, Luo Chen thought to himself. He also noticed that the short sword in the girl’s hand seemed to hold something unusual. The sword emitted a faint blue light, the patterns on the blade seemingly harboring some mysterious power.

Suddenly, the girl swung the short sword, bringing forth a wave of icy aura. From more than ten meters away, she cast a dazzling, water-blue ice crystal! This ice crystal swiftly charged towards Luo Chen, freezing everything in its path! Trees, grasslands, even the air seemed to solidify under this icy force.

A skill cast outward? Luo Chen was taken aback. He had never seen such a powerful outward-casting skill, evidently beyond his previous understanding. However, the incident was sudden, leaving no time for him to make more choices!

Luo Chen hurled himself upward, trying to evade the attack of the ice crystal. His gaze swept downwards, estimating that his leap should be outside the girl’s attack range. Yet, he did not relax his guard; a whirlwind instantly appeared on the surface of his body. This whirlwind carried his body in a spin in mid-air, leaping over the ice crystal at an incredible speed, constantly approaching the girl.

The Divine Fire Sword in his hand faintly emitted a green glow, the green light reflecting off Luo Chen’s face, exuding an air of killing intent. He was already prepared for the battle. Facing this girl who had tried to kill him without even meeting, the bloodthirsty factor within him was entirely stirred.

You show me no respect, why should I keep on avoiding? Luo Chen sneered inwardly, his eyes revealing intense battle intent. He swung the Divine Fire Sword, a blazing sword light instantly slicing toward the girl. This sword contained his inner anger and battle intent, seemingly intent on breaking through all obstacles.

The girl did not retreat; she calmly dealt with Luo Chen’s attack. Her short sword swung with a peculiar trajectory, effortlessly blocking Luo Chen’s sword light. The clash of the two swords produced a crisp metallic collision sound.

Thus, the battle began, with both sides exchanging blows; the swords flashed, and the energy flowed freely. The confrontation between Luo Chen and the girl was extremely fierce, each attack filled with deadly killing intent. However, in this battle, they also showcased superb sword skills and amazing reflexes.

As time passed, the battle between the two grew hotter and more intense. Luo Chen fought increasingly valiantly, his Divine Fire Sword seeming to burn with raging flames; every sword strike carried a burning aura. The girl, on the other hand, was as calm and firm as an iceberg, her short sword remained at a cold temperature, each attack imparting a piercing chill.
