"It's not just multitasking. Just Psionic Hardening alone cannot defend against that strike. The enhancement of Psionic Hardening is just icing on the cake. The thing that can truly defend against that strike is his body."
Dawn rapidly pondered over the matter before coming to a shocking conclusion.
This Infernal King, who claimed to be human, had a powerful will that allowed him to multitask. Furthermore, he had a physical defense that exceeded the gargantuan in his fourth form.
How could he be human?
He was a monster, alright!?
The rookies in the distance looked at each other. The corners of Speechless' mouth twitched slightly. Not long ago, he had confidently declared that as long as Dawn activated the power of her Sword Truth, the scales of victory would immediately tilt. Shi Xiaobai might even be one-shot by that strike. However, after all of this happened, not only was Shi Xiaobai not injured, Dawn's left hand was bleeding. This face smack was too merciless.
Speechless looked at Mu Yuesheng, who had a teasing smile, and could only say stubbornly, "Cough, this rascal is stronger than I imagined."
.....
Dawn was using a healing spell to treat her injured left hand. When she saw Shi Xiaobai take a breather after landing on the ground before charging at her again, she finally could not help but say, "So you did not want to risk your life for mine, but because you are confident that your defense can withstand my strike?"
Shi Xiaobai was slightly taken aback as he nodded silently.
Just by eating the Transcendence fruit, his physical toughness was able to match Leonis's. Now, he had eaten the Transcendence fruit, the Celestial Jade, and the Infernal King's Sword, the three sacred items that truly existed. His physical toughness was naturally in no way weaker than the gargantuan's. It was even better than the gargantuan in his fourth form. Furthermore, with the high-precision Psionic Hardening, he was indeed confident that he could withstand Dawn's sword techniques. It had to be said that the sacred items of the Three Realms were extremely precious. Of course, it was mainly because of the heaven-defying power of the Power of Taotie.
However, his choice of using the dual-blade suicidal attack was not because he was confident in his defense, but because he had no other choice.
A wry smile suffused in Shi Xiaobai's heart. His speed and strength were clearly above Dawn's, but he was unable to defeat her repeatedly. She had not even activated the power of her Sword Truth because in terms of combat techniques and on-the-spot judgment, there was a huge gap between them.
She was like a battle-hardened warrior with absolute calmness. Every time, she could perfectly avoid his attacks and counterattack. She didn't make a single mistake and didn't give him the slightest chance. He could only use the Dual Blade Suicidal Style to forcefully create an opportunity for himself.
This was an opponent that forced him to use all his strength, but he still couldn't defeat him.
Little did he know that Dawn was similarly suffusing a wry smile in her heart. She originally believed that she had been pinned down by the rascally dual-blade death-fighting style and was even infuriated by it. However, she was actually being suppressed by Shi Xiaobai's strength.
The young man in front of her was faster and stronger than her. He was able to do three things at once, which she could not do. He was able to activate the power of the Sword Principle for such a long time and possessed a monstrous physical defense. If she did not activate the power of the Sword Principle, she could only keep dodging and running. There was no way she could win against him. Even if she activated the power of the Sword Principle, she would still have to go through a tough battle to win.
This was an opponent she had to take seriously.
But …
She could not activate the power of the Sword Principle.
Just now, a moment of anger caused by shame had indeed made her want to kill. However, after that slash, regret had sprouted in her heart. The power of the Way of the Sword had only lasted for a moment before it collapsed with a loud bang.
She knew that it would be very difficult for her to produce killing intent towards the young man in front of her again because she could not deny that he was a unique existence to her.
However, if she did not activate the power of the Sword Principle, there was no way she could win unless she waited until Shi Xiaobai could no longer maintain the power of the Sword Principle. After all, he had continuously activated the power of the Sword Principle for such a long period of time. His mental strength was probably drained, right?
"How long can your power of the Sword Principle last?"
Dawn hesitated for a moment before asking softly.
Shi Xiaobai grinned and said seriously, "Before the outcome is decided, This King will not deactivate the power of the Sword Principle."
His tone was filled with confidence.
However, she refused to believe it.
No matter how powerful one's mental strength was, it was impossible for it to last such a long period of time. The battle was clearly in a stalemate. Although he could suppress her, it was not enough to defeat her. As for her, she could not use her Decimation Sword Principle on him, so she could not do a thing to him. It was unknown how long this battle would last.
There would come a moment when his mental strength would be drained and he would no longer be able to maintain the power of the Sword Principle. Furthermore, when his mental strength was depleted, it would be difficult for him to multitask. When that happened, she would usher in victory.
As long as she endured a little longer and dragged it out until his mental state collapsed, everything would end.
By enduring until that moment, she would obtain victory. Even if she could not bear to kill him when the time came, obtaining victory would ultimately be in line with her original intentions.
However, wasn't such a victory … too pathetic?
She had actually fallen to the point where she needed to wear down her opponent to achieve victory?
Such a victory was even more embarrassing than defeat!
"I don't need such a victory."
She said to herself in her heart.
Then, she made up her mind.
"One strike!"
Dawn said in a deep voice, "Shi Xiaobai, take this strike of mine! If this strike doesn't kill you, it'll be my loss. "
She did not need to wear down her opponent to achieve victory. Instead of doing so, she might as well ruthlessly kill him!
Kill him.
Or lose.
This was the determination she made. It was also the ruthlessness she had for herself.
Shi Xiaobai was slightly alarmed but he quickly realized something. He nodded slowly and said softly, "Come on. This King has been waiting for a very long time."
He had been waiting for her to activate the power of her Sword Truth.
However, what he wanted to wait for the most was that strike of hers.
It was a strike that would cover the world with whiteness, a strike that would cause thousands of souls to tremble in fear.
"The Hero King's mental strength has been restored. She is about to use the power of Sword Soul."
Speechless, who had nearly been killed by that strike, said with a heavy expression, "The power of Sword Soul is not at this level of power. Even with all my strength, I was unable to withstand that strike. If not for the Hero King believing that my heart was in my left chest, I would have already died. This time, she will definitely not make the same mistake. Shi Xiaobai is truly in danger. "
After being constantly suppressed, there was no way for her to produce killing intent and use her Decimation Sword Truth on Shi Xiaobai. Therefore, she could only win by dragging out the battle until Shi Xiaobai was mentally drained.
However, such a victory was no doubt a form of humiliation for Dawn. It was worse than defeat.
Instead of that, she might as well kill him and end it once and for all!
Dawn held her sword with both hands as she slowly raised it into the sky. A blurry soul about ten meters tall was standing behind her. The soul was blurry, preventing one from seeing its true appearance. However, one could vaguely see that it was wearing armor. It was holding a gigantic sword with both hands, as though it was raising the sword high up like a young girl.
