#509 - Chapter 241: God-Slaying War (I)
Faced with such a powerful enemy, Liu Yuan did not back down. He took a deep breath, and a strong aura emanated from his body. In the blink of an eye, a set of exquisite armor appeared on his body: breastplate, combat boots, arm guards, skirt armor, shoulder pads… and finally, the helmet, piece by piece covering his entire body, protecting him tightly. At this moment, Liu Yuan looked like a valiant warrior, ready to face this life-or-death contest.
“So it’s you! Ancient Outer God, so this is what you look like. You came at the right time; let’s see where you run this time!” Liu Yuan taunted, but his mind was highly vigilant. He held his horizontal saber in his right hand and his parrying blade in his left, adopting a fighting stance. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, staring intently at the Ancient Outer God in front of him, as if he could launch a fatal blow at any moment.
Just as the battle was about to break out, Liu Yuan suddenly bent down, his left leg swinging in a scorpion tail kick towards the rear. With a loud 'Bang!' the figure that suddenly appeared behind him was kicked back more than ten meters. This sudden change caught the Outer God off guard for a moment; he didn't expect Liu Yuan to be so keenly aware of the sneak attack from behind.
The air around the humanoid figure twisted, a mix of light and shadow interweaving, and black and red mist gradually gathered. It revealed a humanoid figure about two meters and thirty centimeters tall, wearing a full-body suit of knight's plate armor and wielding a greatsword as large as a door. This set of equipment looked very ornate, giving off a sense of power and majesty.
Liu Yuan smirked, revealing a cold smile: “You must be Rahlo! Your divine duty isn't fire at all; I should call you the God of Light and Shadow!” His voice carried a hint of mockery and disdain, as if he didn't take this God of Light and Shadow seriously. However, the weapon in his hand remained vigilant, ready to meet any possible attack.
Before the words faded, Liu Yuan's horizontal saber slashed out fiercely, a sharp blade aura whistling as it shot straight towards Rahlo. Rahlo didn't dodge or evade; instead, he swung the greatsword in his hand, shattering the blade aura.
Liu Yuan sidestepped, and the parrying blade in his hand swiftly chopped out, colliding with Rahlo's greatsword. The blade was more than forty centimeters wide, almost like a shield. Rahlo's seemingly cumbersome armor didn't hinder his speed at all; his movements were not affected by the heavy armor. The two instantly engaged in a fierce exchange, the sound of clashing swords and sabers ringing out incessantly, sparks flying everywhere.
However, Rahlo's abilities were very strange. He could not only affect his opponents' vision, causing them to misjudge the distance between them, but also had the ability to travel in the shadows. One moment, he was fighting you head-on; the next, he had quietly circled around to your back. Although he had the advantage in strength and speed, he preferred to use assassin-like skills to fight. This bizarre ability made his attacks unpredictable, putting immense pressure on Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan's ghostly, agile figure darted across the battlefield, the long saber in his hand as swift as lightning. Each strike carried a sharp wind, accurately aiming at Rahlo's vital points. His swordsmanship was exquisite, each strike containing endless killing intent, chilling to the bone.
Rahlo was not to be outdone, brandishing his greatsword, the blade shimmering with strange light. Each sword strike carried powerful force and bizarre light and shadow skills, engaging in a fierce head-to-head battle with Liu Yuan. The two exchanged blows, and for a time, it was difficult to determine the winner.
But Liu Yuan was not using his full strength, because he was always wary of the Ancient Outer God watching from the sidelines. He knew that the methods and minds of these ancient gods were difficult to fathom, and he didn't know if they would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Therefore, he reserved some of his strength, just in case.
He used his speed advantage to quickly circle behind Rahlo, slashing his back with a saber. However, Rahlo's body disappeared like a phantom, causing Liu Yuan's attack to miss. The next moment, Rahlo's figure reappeared behind Liu Yuan, greatsword raised high, and slashed down fiercely.
Liu Yuan was shocked, but he reacted quickly, instantly raising both sabers to block the attack, firmly holding it. The light and shadow attached to the greatsword spread along the blade to his arm, bringing a bone-chilling cold. Liu Yuan gritted his teeth and forcefully flung out a blade aura, shattering the encroaching alien divine power.
Just then, Liu Yuan discovered a flaw in Rahlo's defense. His eyes narrowed, his figure flashed, and he rushed towards Rahlo like an arrow. The long saber in his hand slashed out continuously like a storm, each strike carrying a deadly threat, giving Rahlo no chance to breathe. He seized the opportunity and slashed at Rahlo's knee joint, successfully causing him to lose his balance. Immediately afterwards, Liu Yuan flashed closer to Rahlo, unleashing the ultimate technique from Bajiquan—the sticking-mountain-lean. With a deafening bang, this powerful attack solidly struck Rahlo's chest, sending him staggering backwards, eventually falling directly into the lava river behind him.
Liu Yuan looked at the saber in his hand, a trace of helplessness on his face. As his own strength continued to improve, the power of the Four Dragon-Taming Blades was becoming somewhat inadequate. It wasn't that the abilities of these weapons were insufficient, but because the blade was protected by laws, it could remain unscathed even in the face of powerful lightning tribulations. However, their sharpness seemed to be lacking, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to break through the defenses of enemies above the fifth rank. Although the previous blow successfully broke through Rahlo's armor, the actual damage caused was even less than the sticking-mountain-lean.
“@*#……：#*@！*！!!” Just then, a strange sound entered Liu Yuan's ears. He took a closer look and saw that it was the Outer God speaking to him. It was a strange language, as if it was not only communicating with him, but also talking to Rahlo.
As the Outer God spoke, its four arms slowly stretched out, and the four crystal swords emitted a crystal-clear light. Beside it, dense ice cones fell like rain, forming a dense ice cone array. “Whoosh whoosh whoosh!” The ice cones were like arrows leaving the string, shooting towards Liu Yuan with a piercing sound. Liu Yuan's eyes narrowed, he gripped the double sabers in both hands, and with a fierce wave, the saber light flashed, and the ice cones were instantly smashed to pieces, turning into countless tiny ice fragments scattered on the ground. However, the Outer God did not stop attacking; more ice cones shot densely like a rainstorm, as if a Gatling machine gun was firing wildly.
Liu Yuan's double sabers were wielded impenetrably, forming an indestructible line of defense, blocking all the ice cones in front of him. However, the power of the ice cones unleashed by the Outer God was far from what the Night King could compare to. Although Liu Yuan successfully blocked all the ice cones, he was still forced to retreat continuously by the powerful impact.
