Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 877 - 58: Ten Swords in Bold Calligraphy_2

Two seconds later, a pitch-black longsword appeared in Gu Fangzheng's hands, his originally decadent demeanor became especially grave. When he swung the ink sword, it felt as hefty as a mountain, bringing an exceptionally heavy sensation to those around.

"I understand." The girl nodded, positioning her sword in front of her. Her eyes slightly closed and her left fingers slowly caressed the blade. Intricate phoenix bird patterns emerged on the snowy-white sword edge, and then, a Qing Luan feather pattern reflected on her forehead.

Then she lowered her hands, and faintly behind her, a pair of wings sprouted, the soft red rosy glow instantly filled the sky behind her.

'Sky-dyeing Bi Sword - Sea Sky Rosy Clouds'

Facing the girl's posture, Gu Fangzheng no longer held back, but instead took the initiative to attack. He strode forward, the heavy ink sword slashing down like cleaving a mountain. Tilan tried to parry with her sword, but the silver sword edge facing the ink sword seemed to be under a heavy pressure, shattering bit by bit until it completely disintegrated in her hands.

Upon this, Gu Fangzheng did not pursue the victory but gave the opponent some time to react. He believed the girl would not just sit and wait for her doom.

Indeed, as Tilan retreated, she let go of her fingers, the broken sword in her hand spun in the air, absorbing the surrounding reddish rosy glow like a whale swallowing water, and then condensed into a brand-new jade-green longsword, the rosy glow by her side also turned emerald green.

Sky-dyeing Bi Sword, this sword technique comes from the Upper Gate 'Condensing Dew Dyeing Green Shop'. Known for graceful postures, perhaps not outstanding in combat, but the accompanying various supportive effects that change the environment make users flexible in the face of different opponents, not showing noticeable weaknesses.

Since the opponent's swordsmanship is known for its heaviness, she can only attempt to break it with force.

In the subsequent clashes of swords, whenever their blades collided, the surrounding rosy glow would merge into the swords, making them more powerful in combat. As the rosy glow expanded, Tilan's jade-green longsword grew increasingly formidable, no longer shattering and matching the heavy ink sword's strikes with ever-increasing force.

Not looking too good, Gu Fangzheng felt the emerald rosy glow by his side. Fighting in it felt like being in water, swinging his sword and moving required noticeably more effort, while the opponent became more agile, her strokes stronger.

Knowing that continuing like this would only worsen the situation, Gu Fangzheng stepped back, distancing himself from Tilan, then composed himself and held his sword, shouting explosively.

"Horizontal Ink Ten Swords - Heavy Mountain Slash!"

The ink sword in his hand swung heavily down, like Mount Tai's overwhelming pressure, a phasing giant sword blade also swung down, directly striking the girl in the middle and sweeping away the rosy glow in the arena like a fierce wind.

Without caring if his sword hit, he raised the ink sword and leaped into the sky, then fiercely swung it with his body behind it.

"Horizontal Ink Ten Swords - Sword Grid like a Cage!"

The four ink swords swung out formed a 'well' character, isolating the ground and space below, making Tilan trapped as if in a cage, formed by sword marks on all sides, preventing her from phasing or moving out of this space temporarily.

Then Gu Fangzheng, holding swords in both hands, stood vertically to the sky. A pillar of black magical power shot up and then inverted downward as he thrust his swords directly at the restrained girl below, without holding back.

"Horizontal Ink Ten Swords - Heaven's Might like Eclipse!"

Like a collapsing Milky Way, a black ribbon rushed down from the sky, scouring the confined grid below, and the girl in it genuinely felt a dangerous threat, the kind that could lead to death.

This now posed a difficulty, as using solely swordsmanship she had no especially good way to counter; using other methods would deviate from the swordsmanship assessment scope.

She could only use the Withering Sequence to delay, even if ultimately there was no way out, she could still react in time.

"Azure Bird's Inheritance: Breezy Shadow Sword Technique"

Her figure moved, casting silver-blue afterimages, and these afterimages wielding swords faced the descending heavy black sword, attempting to weaken its power, while Tilan's real body concealed within the shadows below.

The falling ink-heavy sword shattered one after another the assaulting silver-blue afterimages without losing momentum, continuing to fall. Facing such a situation, Tilan steadied herself and gripped her swords.

Can't always depend on craftiness; sometimes you just have to clash head-on and give it your all.

Blue magical power gathered and soared, a majestic blue crystal longsword held in her hands, a condensation of her magical power, densely covered in intricate thread networks like some circuit boards, engraved with complex imprint patterns.

Annihilation · Ice Crystal · Sharp · Freeze

Multiple high-rank enchantment effects were condensed on it as she grasped the sword, her bright blue eyes burning like flames. Then she charged upwards, her blue crystal longsword fiercely striking the descending ink-heavy sword. The crystalline sword body shattered, scattering blue fragments, dispelling part of the confining oppressive force, and the previously vertically falling heavy sword also skewed slightly, allowing Tilan to evade.

Seconds later, the encompassing sword cage dissipated, revealing a huge crater on the ground surrounded by cracks. Gu Fangzheng stood still, one side displaying a black greatsword taller than a person, on the other side, Tilan staggered, supporting herself with the broken Ice Crystal sword, her arms and cheeks marked with numerous scratches, and a trace of blood.
