"Oh my god! What happened to Heavenly Sword in the past ten days?
Heavenly Sword is now three times faster than when it was fighting Ashima! "Liunian Ling couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when she saw Heavenly Sword's speed.
She was the person who understood Guhan's combat strength the most. She had watched the entire battle with Ashima and found that Heavenly Sword's speed had increased by three times.
"No wonder Heavenly Sword is so strong after a month. So this is the reason!"
The other person who was familiar with Guhan's combat strength was Ashima. As Guhan's direct opponent, she felt that Heavenly Sword was even stronger than Liunian Ling.
Previously, she couldn't understand how Yi Tian could become so strong after a month. Now that she saw Yi Tian's terrifying Movement Speed, she understood. It seemed like this improvement had happened in a short span of ten days.
"Could it be that Gu Han has already reached the level of a Famed Sword-Wielder in the past ten days?
That's impossible. There's no way to increase Sword Essence in this trial formation! "
At first, Ashima suspected that Guhan had become a Famed Swordsman in the past ten days. However, it was impossible to replenish Sword Essence in this trial formation … There was no real Yuan Kou here.
Of course, Guhan hadn't reached the level of a Famed Swordsman. In fact, apart from synchronizing with the Douyu Sword and gaining 1,000 Quarks of Sword Essence, Guhan hadn't gained a single Quark of Sword Essence. Currently, he had around 4,000 Sword Essence in his body.
Heavenly Sword hadn't reached the level of a Grade 1 Famed Swordsman either. Although Yi Qing had given Guhan enough Sword Essence to reach the level of a Grade 1 Sword Essence, it would take a lot of time. Guhan had returned directly after leaving Fairytale Valley, so where would he have the time to give Heavenly Sword Essence?
The real reason why Heavenly Sword's strength had changed so much was naturally because of the Yin Yang Swordsmanship Technique. Even though Guhan's Douyu Sword was hidden in his dimensional pocket, the attribute enhancement from the two still existed on Guhan and Heavenly Sword.
For the Sword Maiden, the sum of two wasn't as simple as two.
In reality, the combat power displayed was almost three times that of the original.
Even the spectating sword-bearers felt their hearts palpitate at the terrifying power of three times their strength. What about Lionheart, who was being attacked by the Heavenly Sword?
This person was completely dumbfounded. When the Heavenly Sword attacked, Reinhardt was still thinking of using this opportunity to finish chanting the Sword Scripture. In any case, it would take at least seven or eight seconds. However, Reinhardt immediately regretted it. In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Sword was already in front of him.
Reinhardt was not an idiot, and he did not have the habit of wasting his time. He decisively gave up on chanting the Sword Hymn and immediately poured the Sword Essence into the greatsword in his hand. With a flash of red light, a Sword Lady dressed in blood-red armor appeared beside Reinhardt … Unfortunately, the Sword Lady appeared too late. She had only just opened her eyes to take a good look at her surroundings when the Heavenly Sword's blade had already arrived beside Reinhardt. Then, it stabbed into Reinhardt's head.
Reinhardt could only feel his head buzzing as if there were countless flies flying around. The entire world became dark and trembled.
Reinhardt knew that he had been attacked in an important part of his body … such as his temple, heart, and so on.
These parts of his body had relatively weak shields. Once he was attacked, he would feel great discomfort.
"Red Hilt, help me stop her. I need time!"
The moment he was sent flying, Reinhardt used the last of his strength to order his Red Hilt to protect him.
Red Hilt was the sword of Galahad, one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur's command. It belonged to the Twelve Knights of the Round Table series of Sword Maidens, who all wore medieval knight armor.
Red Hilt's armor was rather unique. It was different from the other Knights of the Round Table, which focused on defense. Red Hilt's armor seemed lighter and thinner, as if it was a defective product that had been skimped on. Many parts of her body were exposed. Only the armor on her back was extremely thick. Just by looking at it, one could tell that this part of the armor had terrifying defensive power.
Red Hilt's main body, Red Hilt, had a unique appearance. Rather than a sword, it was better to call it a large cross. It was inlaid with all kinds of gems and emitted a dazzling light.
"Yes, my dear friend!"
Red Hilt's eyes flashed with a blood-red light. She then stood in front of Reinhardt and held the cross in front of her. "Stop, sister. If you dare to take one more step towards my dear friend, you will have to bear the endless attacks of Red Hilt!"
"Who the hell are you? Get out of my way! I don't know you!"
Heavenly Sword glanced at Red Hilt casually and was about to continue looking for trouble with Reinhardt, who was lying on the ground recovering.
Naturally, Red Hilt wouldn't let Heavenly Sword pass. She firmly blocked Heavenly Sword's path.
"Hmph, a mere red-furred sword dares to compete with me, Haoyue?"
Yi Tian swung his sword horizontally and slashed towards Red Hilt … Yi Tian did not increase his sword speed, he just calmly slashed forward.
"In front of my Red Hilt Holy Light, all evil will turn into sheep!"
Red Hilt muttered. The many gems on Red Hilt's sword began to emit laser-like rays of light towards Heavenly Sword in front of her.
"What kind of light is this?"
Heavenly Sword instantly stopped when it saw the light shining on its body. It was as if its pressure points had been poked.
"Hmph, arrogant fool. How can you be a match for me, Red Hilt!"
On the other hand, seeing that Heavenly Sword had stopped, Red Hilt revealed a satisfied smile. The light just now was her basic skill, Petrify Curse. It could petrify an opponent for a whole 10 seconds.
Moreover, this curse would definitely succeed against an opponent of the same level.
"Let me end you now with my Rock Crush!"
The hilt of the red hilt flashed with a crimson light, and then the two guards separated from the hilt. In an instant, they shot towards the petrified Sky Reliance like arrows from a bow.
This was Red Hilt's advanced skill, Rock Crush. It could separate the two handguards from the sword hilt and launch a powerful attack.
The strength of this attack was that it had a chance of triggering the 'Rock Crush' effect. When her opponent was petrified, they would receive 1000% damage. This was already enough to instantly kill many Yuan Kou of the same level.
As such, Red Hilt was filled with confidence. She felt that this annoying Dongfang Sword Lady would definitely not be a match for her … if she knew that her opponent was actually Heavenly Sword, and a Heavenly Sword that had been strengthened by three times, she would definitely not think this way.
"What the hell is this?!"
Heavenly Sword, who was originally petrified, suddenly swung the Heavenly Sword in her hand. The two handguards that had shot out were sent flying hundreds of metres away … the speed at which they were sent flying was even faster than the speed at which they were flying towards Heavenly Sword.
"What a powerful opponent … Heaven's Stairway."
Only now did Red Hilt realise how powerful her opponent was. The petrifying combo that had never failed in the past had actually failed.
Red Hilt panicked, and immediately prepared to use her ultimate skill: Heaven's Stairway.
Heaven's Stairway was Red Hilt's ultimate skill. It actually projected an extremely long illusory stairway in the sky that seemed to reach the clouds. Once the stairway was formed, she would be able to 100% lock onto her opponent and bring them to Heaven's Stairway.
How was it? Didn't it sound like it was going to explode the heavens?
"Heavens, has Red Hilt been forced out of Heaven's Stairway?
Looks like Red Hilt is going to go all out. "
"Stop looking. Heaven's Stairway has already appeared. This Sword Lady is going to lose for sure!"
The London Sword Bearers all discussed amongst themselves. They felt that Guhan was about to lose. This was because their impression of Heaven's Stairway was just too deep. Lionheart had relied on this move to sweep through London.
The effect of Heaven's Stairway was indeed very powerful. By consuming the energy of her Personal Shield, she could directly deal true damage equivalent to the energy of her Personal Shield to her opponent.
It was equivalent to using Red Hilt's Personal Shield energy to exchange for the opponent's Personal Shield energy.
After Lionheart became a sword level swordsman, he relied on his family's power and spent a lot of money to upgrade the Red Hilt Sword to grade 1, awakening the Red Hilt Sword's ultimate skill … He was the only one of a kind among all the young sword level swordsman in London.
In addition, Red Hilt had reached level 1. In terms of defense, none of the young Sword Rank Sword Bearers in London could surpass Red Hilt in defense. Therefore, Red Hilt's ultimate skill became a legend in London. No Sword Lady could resist Red Hilt's ultimate skill. This was also the reason why Lionheart was unbeatable in London. It was because his Sword Scar Profound was too high level, and his ultimate skill was too overpowered.
However, it was a pity that Red Hilt had picked the wrong opponent this time. She shouldn't have picked on Heavenly Sword.
Yi Tian's lips curled up into a disdainful smile as he looked at the flight of stairs that was gradually extending to his feet. The Heavenly Sword in his hand trembled a little and left an afterimage on the stairs. In an instant, the sword burst like a soap bubble.
"My Kingdom of Heaven's Stairway … has been slashed apart …" Red Hilt Sword was terrified. To be able to destroy his ultimate move with one slash meant that the opponent's swordsmanship had reached an extremely shocking level, able to tear apart the entire space at an extremely fast speed. Only then could it be possible to destroy the illusion of his Kingdom of Heaven's Stairway.
Red Hilt had no way of resisting such power.
In reality, Red Hilt did not resist at all.
Although Red Hilt was a Knight's equipment, she relied on her skills like a Mage. She did not have much knowledge in swordsmanship, and was probably no better than King Yue who had forgotten his own swordsmanship.
Thus, when all of her skills were nullified, Hong Hilt Sword could only wait for death. The Heaven-reliant Sword slashed down on her chest, sending her flying. As she flew through the air, her body disappeared and she reverted back to a sword covered in cracks.
Because Red Hilt had used up all of her shield's energy to use the Heaven's Stairway, her personal shield had already disappeared when Heavenly Sword struck her, and Heavenly Sword's attack had directly hit her body … If Heavenly Sword hadn't discovered that her personal shield had disappeared, and was scared into withdrawing part of her sword essence, Red Hilt would have been slashed in half … However, even though Heavenly Sword had withdrawn its power, Red Hilt was still heavily injured. Looking at the cracks on her blade, around 50% of her durability had been lost.
"You're next!
Stay there and don't move. Let me slap the other side of your face until it's swollen, and I'll allow you to surrender! "
Heavenly Sword chuckled, looking extremely arrogant. Lionheart did not notice that he had secretly taken out a small item from his dimensional pocket after recovering his consciousness during the precious battle.
