The moment Ryuga appeared on the empty ground, the gigantic Alien Ghost had already noticed his arrival. It stared at him with its toad-like eyes.
But before it could say anything, Ryuga had already pulled out his sword and rushed towards it.
"Tsk!"
The Alien Ghost clicked its tongue in displeasure. Without any hesitation, it manipulated the hands on its body and extended them towards Ryuga.
Its hands were not fixed like a normal ghost's. Instead, they could extend like a snake and be used as a weapon.
At the level of Aberration, the body of a ghost could undergo all kinds of changes. Some could grow organs like geckos that could climb walls, while others could grow claws like spiders and spit venom from their mouths to attack.
The Alien Ghost in front of him had the ability to manipulate its body to form multiple arms. These arms could extend like a snake and be used as a whip.
In the blink of an eye, under its control, 4 to 5 arms grew out from its body. Each arm stretched out five fingers and grabbed towards Ryuga, attempting to grab him.
Ryuga's eyes did not blink as he stared at the five arms. While diving down, he suddenly changed the rhythm of his breathing.
From the [Thunder Breath] that seemed to be able to produce a thunderous sound, it changed to the [Wind Breath] that was as violent as a gale.
Ryuga now knew a total of 3 types of breathing techniques. They were the [Thunder Breath], [Wind Breath], and [Flame Breath].
This was what he learned from Shan Yi and the other two swordsman candidates who 'gifted' him the Sunwheel Saber in the past five days.
Among the 3 types of breathing techniques, he was most familiar with the [Thunder Breath], followed by the [Wind Breath], and lastly the [Flame Breath].
However, although his [Breath of Thunder] was currently the strongest, it was a pity that he only knew the [Thunderbolt Flash] out of the six great sword skills of the [Breath of Thunder]. However, in a situation where there were multiple attacks, it was obviously not suitable for him to use the [Thunderbolt Flash].
Thus, Ryuga switched to the [Wind Breath] that was as violent as a gale.
"— Wind Breath, Fifth Form, Cold Autumn Mountain Breeze."
Ryuga raised the two Sunwheel Blades above his head and slashed down one after another like a tornado.
In the blink of an eye, 2 spinning wind blades appeared beside Ryuga. One from above and one from below protected him. At the same time, the wind blades formed a destructive force around him.
"Tsk — —"
"Tsk — —"
In the blink of an eye, there were five consecutive sounds of flesh being sliced apart. The five arms of the Hand Ghost that were attacking him were instantly sliced apart by the two giant wind blades that were revolving around Liu Xia.
"Wh-!?"
The Hand was shocked.
He finally realized something different.
Ryuga's strength was not on the same level as the Reserve Swordsmen that he had killed before.
There was never a kid that could cut off all his arms in one move.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, before the Hand could react, Ryuga swung the blades in his hands again.
"— First Form, Dust Whirlwind — — Cutting Slash."
Liu Xia's speed increased by leaps and bounds. Before Ghost Hand's brain could react, Liu Xia had already arrived in front of him at a terrifying speed.
The first form was the [Wind Breath] charging technique. Not only did it allow the user to charge in front of the opponent, but it also allowed the user to form wind blades that could cut the ground.
This technique was originally very suitable to be used when rescuing people. It was enough to force away enemies that wanted to attack their comrades. However, Ryuga was using it as a charging technique.
Although the [Wind Breath] itself was not Ryuga's most proficient breathing technique, the eight sword techniques that accompanied the [Wind Breath] were Ryuga's most proficient sword techniques.
This was because the [Thunderbolt Flash] itself was not difficult. On the first night in the mountains, he had completely mastered it.
In the following few nights, as well as when he sparred with the Reserve Swordsmen, he had used the [Wind Breath]'s eight sword techniques against his opponents. Naturally, he was more proficient in using the [Wind Breath]'s eight sword techniques.
Now, his mastery of the [Wind Breath]'s eight sword techniques had completely surpassed the grey-robed youth who had given him the Sunwheel Blade.
However, even for the talented Ryuga, his energy was limited.
Right now, he had only learned the [Thunderbolt Flash] of the [Breath of Thunder] and the eight sword skills of the [Breath of Wind]. Even though he had already memorized the nine sword skills of the [Breath of Fire], he hadn't started learning them yet. He was focused on learning the eight sword skills of the [Breath of Wind].
If he wanted to learn all three types of breathing techniques and the sword techniques that accompanied them, he still needed a certain amount of time.
"— Form 8, First Gale Slash."
Before the Hand Ghost could react, Ryuga had charged to his side. He did not attempt to directly attack the Hand Ghost's neck. Instead, he circled around him like a gust of wind.
At the same time, two large spiraling wind blades were formed around the Hand Ghost along with Ryuga's slash. They were like two large cutting machines, ruthlessly cutting into the Hand Ghost's body.
"Arghhh!!!"
The Hand Ghost was just about to stretch out his arms to defend himself, but before he could do anything, his defense was broken.
In the blink of an eye, all the arms on his body were chopped off in an instant. Only the last arm that was wrapped around his neck was still hanging on his body.
No one saw that Ryuga's eyes were now showing a pale golden luster. Together with the wind blade-like sword energy that he slashed out, it made him seem unusually sharp, giving off a ferocious feeling of invasion.
The Hand Ghost's actions had already been seen by his eyes.
"— Form 3, Clear Wind Tree."
After the Hand Ghost's arms were chopped off and he lost the ability to resist for a short period of time, Ryuga finally stomped on the ground and jumped into the air. His two swords swung in the same trajectory from left to right, slashing towards the Hand Ghost's neck at the same time.
"Swish — —"
Along with the sound of cloth tearing, the Hand Ghost's neck was instantly chopped off by the two large wind blades side by side. The corpse flew into the air.
"How … how is this possible! How can I be in this kind of place — — "
Under the situation where his neck was chopped off, the Hand Ghost's breath instantly weakened. His head fell to the ground, but his mouth still let out a low roar filled with unwillingness.
However, no matter how unwilling he was, his large body and head quickly turned into black smoke and dissipated into thin air.
