Chapter 910: Zhang Xuan's Defeat!
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
"That's some fine swordsmanship you have there!" The eyes of Mu shi's puppet lit up as it nodded in approval while moving to counterattack Zhang Xuan's move .
In an instant, the human and the puppet were already colliding with one another .
Boom boom boom boom!
Exerting his full might, Zhang Xuan's sword fell relentlessly on the puppet like waves in the river, each strike growing faster and stronger than the previous .
Even though he hadn't cultivated any particularly powerful sword arts, he had managed to compile the many sword arts he had obtained so far to form the profound Heaven's Path Sword Art . With its prowess, he could even overwhelm a Saint realm expert off-guard!
"But as formidable as it is, you are still too weak…" With a light chuckle, Mu shi's puppet tapped its finger forward .
Huala!
The air right before Zhang Xuan's sword suddenly seemed to have collapsed into an abyss, and the sharp glint of his blade seemed to have been pulled into a whirlpool, draining it of its strength .
Knowing that he would be placed in a vulnerable situation if he didn't retaliate to that swiftly, Zhang Xuan gathered his full strength and forcefully pushed his blade ahead .
Hong long!
The collapsed air abruptly burst apart like a balloon, and Zhang Xuan's sword surged forward with incredible momentum to clash with the puppet's finger .
Huala!
As if having struck a thick wall, Zhang Xuan felt a numbing sensation assault his arm, and a stifled feeling welled up in his chest . In the next instant, he was abruptly sent flying from the recoil of the collision .
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan swiftly utilized the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps to counteract the momentum of his retreat while pushing himself back to the ground, leaving behind numerous deep footprints on the ground in the midst of doing so .
After regaining his posture once more, he roared furiously and charged forward .
Huala!
A sword sliced through the air, heading straight toward where the weakness of Mu shi's puppet was .
Seeing that the other party was able to see through the weaknesses in his movements so quickly, Mu shi's puppet was taken aback for a moment before chuckling softly . "Keen eyes!"
Following which, he swiftly twisted, and the weakness from a moment ago disappeared without a trace .
Even Heaven's Path was imperfect, let alone man-made creations in the world . It was normal for any battle technique to have its own weaknesses . However, while Zhang Xuan was able to identify the weaknesses accurately, the difference between his speed and reflexes against his opponents were so great that he was unable to exploit it .
In other words, in the interval between him making his attack and his strike landing, his opponent had sufficient time to evade it . As a result, the 'weaknesses' he had identified became nothing more than a joke .
As expected of the founder of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy… Zhang Xuan thought grimly .
If it had been any Saint realm primary stage cultivator in the other party's place, it would be doubtful if the other party would be able to come up with an instantaneous counterattack to his moves, especially since his moves were directed at the other party's weaknesses .
However, his opponent was actually able to go to the extent of even predicting the next few moves that he could possibly make within this narrow window, sealing away any alternative offensive maneuver he could utilize against the other party .
Fearsome!
The other party's strength didn't lie solely in his fearsome might, speed, and reflexes, but his astounding eye of discernment as well . Put those together with the other party's vast combat experience and sharp battle sense, and the other party was truly a nearly impossible adversary for him to overcome with his current cultivation .
Nevertheless, Zhang Xuan didn't panic .
As long as he makes a move, there will surely be flaws that I can exploit . I don't believe that you can continue dodging until the end of time!
Even though Zhang Xuan usually relied on the Byzantium Helios Beast and the Golden Origin Cauldron, rarely making a move himself, he had collected and gone through many books on combat and accumulated the wisdom of many predecessors, sharpening his battle sense to one that was on par with a veteran general, or even beyond .
Regardless of how profound or elusive a technique was, it was bound to have its flaws . As long as he could pull off the correct maneuvers to counteract to the other party's move, even if it was a God-tier battle technique that the other party was using, he would still be able to corner them .
But of course, that was still easier said than done . Even if he had the Library of Heaven's Path, which allowed him to see through the flaws in the other party's attacks, his strength was still lacking for him to push his attacks through decisively .
"Break!"
With the flexibility of a serpent, Zhang Xuan's sword surged forth, and in the blink of an eye, it was already on the verge of striking one of the mingmen of Mu shi's puppet .
As long as he struck that point, he should be able to inflict serious injuries on the other party even with the power disparity between them .
"A good move!" Mu shi's puppet remarked .
However, as if having guessed that Zhang Xuan would make such a maneuver, it didn't show the slightest hint of anxiety . Instead, it chuckled softly and jolted its arms .
In an instant, Zhang Xuan felt an overwhelming might crushing down on him, suppressing his aura . His seemingly indomitable sword was abruptly halted in its path under that astounding force .
Peng!
The overwhelming might struck Zhang Xuan squarely, and he was sent tumbling back in the air before crashing heavily onto the wall . With a reddened face, fresh blood spurted out of his mouth .
For two consecutive moves, he had successfully identified the other party's weakness and aimed the attack at the other party's blind spot . But… the disparity in strength was simply too great . Even technique was insufficient to bridge the difference .
Wiping away the fresh blood on the edges of his lips, Zhang Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile . I am still too weak…
He was only at Chrysalis realm primary stage, a gap of three whole realms from Saint realm 1-dan primary stage . Even his physical body and soul cultivation were insufficient to breach this massive difference .
Before the other party, his immense strength exceeding 80,000,000 ding was not worth mentioning at all!
Saint realm experts, having opened their Zhukong acupoint, were not only capable of flight but wielded a might exceeding 100,000,000 ding as well . Even if he could find the other party's flaws with his Library of Heaven's Path, he didn't possess sufficient strength to breach the other party's defense . So, how could he possibly win?
Even if one were to equip an ant with a sword, there was no way it could rival an elephant . They were simply existences on two different levels! No matter how skilled the ant was, it couldn't possibly win .
