Everyone was immediately puzzled, but they felt that Speechless was not someone who would fabricate nonsense. Mu Yuesheng was the first to speak, "Why do you say so? Isn't Shi Xiaobai holding the advantage in the present situation? They should at least be evenly matched, right? To end the battle in an instant is too … "
Mu Yuesheng hesitated. She felt that Speechless' point of view was going overboard because she absolutely refused to believe that Shi Xiaobai would be instantly defeated.
"Idiot!"
Speechless grunted and said, "Haven't all of you noticed … that the Hero King has yet to use the power of Sword Truth? She has been using her Sword Intent to resist Shi Xiaobai's Sword Truth all this while! The present situation looks to be evenly matched, with Shi Xiaobai even having the upper hand. But what if the Hero King suddenly activates the power of Sword Truth? Do you understand? The Hero King has enough counterweights in her hands to instantly break the balance of the scales! "
Speechless' words immediately jolted everyone awake. They turned their heads and realized that the Hero King, who was retreating pathetically, had indeed not used the power of Sword Truth. And on the contrary, Shi Xiaobai had activated the power of Sword Truth from the very beginning. Furthermore, he had not stopped at all!
The power of Sword Truth was a way to transform the power of one's mind and psyche into physical and material strength. The price of activating it was a tremendous drain on one's mental strength!
How long had Shi Xiaobai been continuously activating it? After maintaining Sword Truth mode for such a long period of time, his mental strength had probably reached the point of being drained!
As for the Hero King, it was the complete opposite. She had yet to activate the power of Sword Truth up to this point in the battle with Shi Xiaobai. Once she activated the power of Sword Truth, or if Shi Xiaobai was finally unable to withstand it and deactivated the power of Sword Truth, or even if the two happened at the same time, the scales of victory would instantly tilt!
Mu Yuesheng hurriedly asked, "Why? Why didn't the Hero King activate the power of Sword Truth? Going easy? Tactics? Or could it be … the Hero King had used the power of Sword Soul not long ago, so her mental strength is already drained? "
Speechless shook his head and said, "Neither. Activating the power of Sword Soul is indeed draining. It's impossible to use it twice in a short period of time, but it is not enough to drain the Hero King's mental strength. Furthermore, with the Hero King's endurance, her mental strength must have been constantly recovering. She was probably about to recover to the point where she could use the power of the Sword Soul a second time. She can completely afford the consumption of the power of her Sword Truth, but she didn't do so. It's not because she's going easy on us, nor is it a tactic. It's because her Sword Truth is — Slaughter! "
When Sunless heard this, her pupils constricted slightly as a look of worry flashed in her eyes.
Mu Yuesheng did not know much about Sword Truth, so she immediately asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean?"
Speechless pondered over his choice of words and said, "If Sword Intent is a will that a swordsman imparts to a sword move, then Sword Truth is a swordsman's … obsession! A certain stubborn thought was the so-called Sword Dao. For example, Miss Sunless. Everyone knew that she was a famous sword fanatic. She was deeply obsessed with swords, so when she gained insights into the way of the sword, obsession was her obsession! The deeper her obsession, the deeper her obsession, the stronger the power of her Sword Truth! Everyone's obsession is different, so the Sword Dao they comprehend is different as well. As for the Hero King, his obsession is … massacre! "
Mu Yuesheng said in surprise, "Why is the Hero King's obsession killing?"
When Liu Yu heard this, he interjected, "This Penniless Priest had once read an unofficial history regarding the Hero King. There was a story in the unofficial history that This Penniless Priest still remembers vividly. The unofficial history said that … the Hero King was thrown onto an uninhabited island filled with beasts at the age of three. She lived alone for three years and was later brought back to the Li family. Only then did she lead a normal childhood. This Penniless Priest originally thought that it was nonsense and that it was just a random piece of unofficial history. Even if she could survive on an uninhabited island filled with beasts for three years, illness and loneliness would cause a person's mind to collapse. Even a thirty-year-old adult would not be able to withstand it, much less a three-year-old child. However, the first time the Hero King demonstrated her strength in front of the world was when she was six years old. At the age of six, she became the champion of China's Children's Tournament. At the age of eight, she became the champion of China's Youth Tournament. At the age of ten, she became the champion of the World Youth Tournament. Furthermore, she held the title for four consecutive years. After the age of six, the Hero King's life was basically academic. Furthermore, she frequently participated in all sorts of competitions to hone herself. Those competitions were all official competitions, so how could her obsession be killing that only a fugitive would have? If her obsession is really killing, then the only explanation is that something happened to the Hero King before the age of six, which no one paid attention to. Combined with that unofficial history, could it be … "
Speechless sighed as he said with a heavy gaze, "That unofficial history should be true. The Hero King had probably developed an obsession with massacres due to the cruel memories she had from the age of three to six. In her childhood and teenage years, she was known as an 'emotionless machine'. It was probably because of these memories that she had sealed her emotions. After the Hero King came of age, she seldom used sword techniques. It was also because of some unknown reason that her personality had changed. She did not wish to abuse the Way of the Massacre Sword. From a machine that only had killing in her heart to a Hero that saved the world, it is unknown what she had experienced. Who was it and what changed her. This is also an unsolved mystery of history. "
The topic suddenly turned heavy. Everyone's hearts turned heavy as well.
Liu Yu shot a glance at Speechless without leaving a trace. He realized something, but he could not bring himself to ask. Since the Hero King's Way of the Sword was killing, then wouldn't the youth in front of him, who had always been imitating the Hero King and had recently demonstrated a Sword Dao that was identical to the Hero King's be killing as well?
What had actually happened to this youth?
The Hero King had an obsession with killing because of her tragic childhood experiences, but what about Speechless?
In order to imitate the Hero King, what did he experience? How did he force himself to have an obsession with killing?
That was probably a secret that no one knew about.
Speechless was not a simple person.
With this thought in mind, Liu Yu said, "The topic seems to have strayed off topic. The Hero King's Way of the Sword and obsession is killing, so what has it got to do with her not activating her Sword Dao? "
That was the most fundamental question. Liu Yu immediately pulled the topic that had strayed off topic back to the original point.
Speechless gave Liu Yu an appreciative glance and said, "The reason why the Hero King doesn't activate her Sword Dao is not because she doesn't want to, but because she can't activate it. Although it's unknown what the reason is, it's clear that she can't muster any killing intent towards Shi Xiaobai. If she doesn't have any killing intent, she will naturally not have the obsession of killing. Therefore, her Sword Dao will naturally not be activated. I believe that she is still hesitating, hesitating on whether she should kill Shi Xiaobai. So, once she no longer hesitates … "
When Speechless said that, his expression suddenly turned ugly. He looked at Shi Xiaobai, who was in an intense battle, with a complicated gaze. He turned his head and looked at the crowd with a heavy expression. He said in a deep voice, "Once the Hero King no longer hesitates, once she is determined to kill, once she activates her Sword Dao, the balance will be instantly broken. Furthermore, under the obsession of killing, the Hero King will not hold back. It will definitely be a killing blow. That is to say, once the Hero King is determined to kill Shi Xiaobai, Shi Xiaobai will be killed the instant the balance is broken!"
