Chapter 918: Chapter 96: The Final Show-off
From afar, Yan Yu saw swordsmanship unlike any he had ever witnessed before.
Graceful as a startled swan, brilliant as a roaming dragon, darting back and forth amidst a crowd of Head-falling Ba; now in front, now suddenly behind, her figure as enchantingly graceful as a Banished Immortal descending to earth, akin to the Mysterious Lady soaring to the heavens. Regardless of how the Head-falling Ba hordes tried to surround, outmaneuver, block, and assail her, they couldn’t even touch a hem of her garment.
When studying the Valkyrie’s diary in his past life, Yan Yu had admired that she could essentially be considered the progenitor of the calculative Swords Immortals. Every Sword technique she spawned involved numerous variations, with each variation eliciting a meticulously and prudently predicted response.
But now, witnessing her fully unleash her abilities, Yan Yu had to admit that Li Minghu truly was a talent-based Sword Immortal—unlike Lin Ning, whose reaction speed was extraordinarily fast, she possessed an extremely precise judgement ability, able to quickly select the most appropriate tactics almost without thinking.
“Quack!” In comparison to Lord Minghu’s peerless talent, my past life’s accumulation of hands-on combat experience from a lifetime of arduous practice was merely like fireflies under the bright moon!
Although Yan Yu was completely mesmerized by the sight, his movements were without the slightest hesitation, as he directed his Sword Control at full speed towards Li Minghu.
Valkyrie, your loyal knight is here to rescue you!
“Tsk tsk tsk.” the True Obscurity Sun Sword Intent critiqued sharply, “With undivided attention and full concentration, although her overall strength is far inferior to yours, she has far surpassed you in the Sword Dao.”
“Should I switch allegiances right now?” Yan Yu promptly asked.
“What nonsense!” The Sword Intent suddenly berated, “I only have one last burst of Sword Qi left, if you waste it on saving her, what will you do about the actual form of the Head-falling Ba later?”
“If you really are a man, save your own wife!”
Damn, being lectured by a broken sword… Yan Yu could only grit his teeth and push his speed to the maximum.
Despite his full-speed effort, Li Minghu killed even faster and the Head-falling Ba she slew had already surpassed triple digits, quickly merging into a level hundred Head-falling Ba. Once it hit the ground, it sprouted limbs from beyond its five organs, transforming into a green-faced fierce humanoid monster.
The remaining Head-falling Ba also self-destructed, turning into numerous gray streaks of light, swirling and condensing in the air before forming eight pitch-black bone swords that circled the monster.
“See?” The True Obscurity Sun Sword Intent suddenly said, “If you kill fast enough, these Head-falling Ba will be forced to consolidate their power from many to few.”
The Human-shaped Ba formed a gesture with its hands, roaring lowly, and the eight bone swords immediately flew up, arranging into a complex and profound array.
“Not good!” Yan Yu felt a sudden jolt in his heart as he saw the Sword Array appear, and quickly released the Puppet Azhen from his sleeve.
Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire!
Golden threads shot from afar, targeting the back of the Human-shaped Ba, but suddenly one of the bone swords plummeted down, striking right against the golden threads exhaled by Azhen, immediately shattering and exploding into a thick black fog that completely obscured Yan Yu’s vision.
Li Minghu also saw Yan Yu coming to her aid from afar, felt a surge of relief and was about to transmit a message, but then she saw the remaining seven bone swords suddenly strike simultaneously.
Although the bone swords lacked techniques, their coordination was impeccably harmonious. Two swords struck from the left and right, two swords blocked the retreat, and three swords launched a frontal thrust, making it impossible for the Sky Flash Sword light to dodge or escape!
With a fierce resolve, Li Minghu also forcefully activated all her True Yuan, confronting the three swords in front with the grand move of Sword-Human Unity.
The moment the two swords clashed, the immense impact transmitted through the sword light into her body, making Li Minghu spit out a mouthful of blood. The sword light recoiled and was then struck by the second bone sword, Li Minghu suddenly withdrew her force, forcibly enduring this strike as well, nearly twisting and deforming her internal organs.
The Sky Flash Sword was helplessly thrown aside, and the face of the Human-shaped Ba showed not joy but anger, because the direction Li Minghu was knocked flying was precisely the only gap in the entire Sword Array!
This gap shouldn’t have existed, but the eighth bone sword had been shattered earlier in blocking the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire, resulting in a flaw in the array it had set, allowing Li Minghu to seize a fleeting opportunity.
At last, Yan Yu rushed to the scene, but Li Minghu could no longer maintain the Sword-Human Unity, separating from the sword light mid-air and falling powerlessly, caught perfectly by him.
He quickly pressed several major acupoints with his hands, injecting Runescript to seal the arteries to prevent further severe internal bleeding. Yan Yu checked her pulse at the carotid artery and found that although it was weak, she was not completely out of energy.
In his past life, she had single-handedly beheaded the Witch King and repelled the Allied Forces. Although the Valkyrie was not very protective of her own body, she was ultimately adept at calculation and always managed to survive until the last moment… It was indeed fortunate.
“Yan Yu,” Li Minghu weakly said, “be careful…”
The seven bone swords were already being manipulated by the Human-shaped Ba, surrounding Yan Yu completely in the center, reforming into the shape of the Sword Array.
“It’s okay,” Yan Yu paid no attention to the surrounding Sword Array, simply lowering his head to look at Li Minghu in his arms, softly saying, “You don’t have to fight anymore.”
“Ptui, ptui, ptui, such good fortune,” Li Minghu was trying to close her eyes to rest, but hearing his latter words, she felt somewhat helpless, “Don’t say such ominous things…”
Before she could finish speaking, Yan Yu stretched out his right hand, forming a gesture.
The bone swords attacked from all directions, completely locking down his front, back, left, and right, but Yan Yu remained standing still, the Puppet Azhen already stepping into the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step, swiftly moving its figure.
