"Take this strike from This King!"
This time, it was Shi Xiaobai's turn to attack.
A distance of eighteen hundred meters was not a short distance, but for Shi Xiaobai who had cultivated his flash movement technique, Crab Steps, to the Crest of Perfection realm, it was not far. However, a flash movement technique, as its name suggested, was a movement technique used for evasion and movement. No matter how high one's realm was, it was still a form of high-speed movement. It was not teleportation that could traverse thousands of kilometers in a blink of an eye. Shi Xiaobai suddenly charged forward. His figure that was as fast as a flint and the strong winds that he stirred became the greatest omen.
Dawn immediately jolted awake from the strange feeling. Her eyes focused once again as her icy-blue eyes were like blades. She slowly raised her sword and was prepared to counterattack on her spot.
She did not need to see her opponent's figure, nor did she need to hear the sound of a sword tearing through the air. Even if she closed her eyes and covered her ears, she could still respond perfectly. That was because she could 'see' the fluctuations in the air and 'hear' the breathing of energy. She could 'predict' the trajectory of destruction.
She did not turn her head, nor did she use her gaze to chase after the figure that was rapidly approaching her. Instead, she suddenly turned around and slashed behind her with her sword raised!
"Caught you."
The figure in front of the girl was pierced by the sunlight, transforming into a chaotic blur of light. It was actually a fake phantom.
And the direction in which the girl slashed out was straight at the neck of the youth who had suddenly appeared behind her.
Shi Xiaobai's pupils constricted slightly. His phantom movement technique had been so easily seen through. His movement trajectory had also been clearly grasped. It was as though his intentions had been seen through by the girl from the very beginning.
She was indeed an expert.
The smile on Shi Xiaobai's lips deepened. The girl's preemptive prediction of the strike slashing at his neck had completely exceeded his expectations, but his reaction was equally astounding.
Shi Xiaobai's right arm rapidly flipped half a circle, and with an exaggerated distortion, he forcefully changed the trajectory of the slash. Just as Lucifer's Sword was about to slash at his neck, he successfully blocked it with his sword.
Dawn's eyebrows pricked up slightly. Shi Xiaobai's reaction speed and ability to react on the spot left her somewhat surprised.
However, the following scene caught her off guard. Shi Xiaobai, who had forcefully blocked the strike, should have flown backwards to open up a distance to protect his neck. He should have retreated to cushion the impact of the strike, but he did not do so.
With a cracking sound, Shi Xiaobai's head suddenly tilted backwards. Ignoring the danger of his tibia fracturing, he tilted his head back nearly 180 degrees. His body spun a few times like a top, forcefully dissipating the force of the strike. At the same time, a sharp sword beam appeared, stabbing straight at her abdomen!
The black and white sword in the young man's right hand had turned into a pure black sword at some point in time, blocking her Lucifer's Sword at the most dangerous moment. Meanwhile, his left hand was holding a pure white sword. While defending, he suddenly stabbed at her.
He actually didn't retreat?
His neck was so close to the cold blade. At this moment when his life was on the line, he didn't choose to retreat and create a safe distance. Instead, he chose to fight back?
As long as there was the slightest mistake, his head would be separated from his body. Was he not afraid of death?
Dawn frowned and had no choice but to retreat rapidly to dodge the sword beam that was suddenly stabbing at her abdomen.
Shi Xiaobai's dual-wielding had exceeded her expectations. It was not that she had never encountered an opponent who wielded a dual-wielding weapon, but this was the first time she had encountered an opponent who suddenly switched from a single-wielding weapon to a dual-wielding one. He ignored the danger to his life and revealed his fangs at the most critical moment to suddenly counterattack.
Should he be described as cunning or crazy?
Dawn did not choose to fight him head-on. She had the advantage in strength, so she obviously would not agree to Shi Xiaobai's method of fighting that would kill eight hundred but injure a thousand.
However, just as she retreated, Shi Xiaobai immediately stuck to her again.
The young man held a white sword in his left hand and a black blade in his right. The power of his Sword Truth flowed like starlight between the blades. Suddenly, two completely different sword intents were produced. The flaming sword intent on the white sword was boiling, while the congealing sword intent on the black sword was flowing.
A look of appreciation flashed in Dawn's eyes. This was the most unique dual-wielding she had ever seen. Shi Xiaobai's dual-wielding did not just focus on the surface of the dual wielding weapons. Instead, he had demonstrated the true profoundness of dual wielding.
It was not just holding two swords and using different sword moves to form a dual-wielding weapon. Only by injecting two different sword intents into the two swords like Shi Xiaobai did, could he produce the true might of the dual-wielding weapon. However, doing so was not easy. Grasping two sword intents was just the basics. Being able to use two different sword intents at the same time was an extremely difficult task.
And what Shi Xiaobai was doing was even more difficult. This was because he had injected two sword intents into the two swords. One was an unyielding flame, while the other was a soft congealing water. These were two completely opposite and contradictory sword intents. It might not be difficult to do similar things at the same time, but to produce two opposing intents at the same time with a single thought was not only a test of one's ability to multitask, it also required an extremely clear and firm will.
"You are indeed very excellent, but your dual-wielding weapon at the Sword Intent level is still a little lacking. If it were two different Sword Truths, perhaps …"
With this thought in mind, Dawn seized the perfect opportunity to dodge Shi Xiaobai's dual wielding weapons at close range. She then slashed at Shi Xiaobai's waist from the side.
Her opponent's choice of melee combat suited her. Her movement techniques, speed and strength were extremely outstanding. Her combat skills were unmatched among her peers.
However, her opponent was Shi Xiaobai. Shi Xiaobai was similarly adept at movement techniques. His speed and strength had become even more monstrous after obtaining the Power of Taotie. After consuming the three holy items, his keen intuition and combat instincts far exceeded the average person.
Shi Xiaobai reacted extremely quickly as he changed the trajectory of his slash once again. Twisting his right arm, he used the black sword in his right hand to forcefully block Lucifer's Sword just as it was about to slash at his abdomen. At the same time, the white sword in his left hand was already aimed at the girl. Congealing Water's sword intent suddenly turned cold as it transformed into a frosty sword beam. Like an ice arrow, it shot straight at the girl's chest.
Shi Xiaobai had once again chosen to counterattack when he needed to defend the most. By ingeniously using the dual-wielding weapon, he was able to defend while attacking.
However, doing so was extremely risky because the girl's sword was only a sword's distance away from his waist. Once the strength of his right hand's sword was crushed, his waist would be cleaved into two by his own sword.
Of course, if the girl ignored the white sword in his left hand and forcefully slashed at his waist, the chances of her being seriously injured would be extremely high. That was because the moment of attack was when one's defense was at its weakest.
Therefore, there were only two choices placed in front of Dawn.
Firstly, she could ignore the risk of injury and slash at Shi Xiaobai's waist. If that happened, Shi Xiaobai might die and she might be seriously injured. It would result in an internecine outcome.
Secondly, she could give up on the attack and take the initiative to retreat. She could pretend that nothing had happened.
This was a choice that needed to be made in an instant.
