Chapter 105 - A Loss (1/2)

”Whew…”

Huang Yu's face was pale as he landed on the grayish soil back on Demon Island.

Sweat poured down his forehead as he took deep breaths.

Before Huang Yu could use the King's Wisdom, a sharp pain jolted his body, indicating the recoil of Limiter Removal.

Unable to control himself, Huang Yu spat out a mouthful blood.

The mouthful of blood landing on the ground, the dead soil absorbed all of it in an instant as it quickly turned green with grass.

Seeing this, a wry smile appeared on Huang Yu's face.

That mouthful of blood contained a lot of his blood essence inside of it.

He was afraid that he would be unable to display his full battle prowess for quite a while before he recovered.

”That was a pretty neat trick. Would have worked if you hadn't used destruction as its base.”

A voice from behind caused Huang Yu's body to stiffen up immediately.

Turning his head back, Huang Yu smiled wryly as he was met with the unharmed figure of Hui Mie.

In fact, his clothes seemed to not even have been ruffled despite being in the epicentre of such an explosion.

”That technique though… you're killing yourself with that.”

Huang Yu scratched the back of his head as he turned his body to face Hui Mie.

”C'mon it's nothing much. It's not that exaggerated.”

”You call spitting out blood of that quality 'not that much'?”

Hui Mie's face contorted into a frown as he saw the sheer callousness of Huang Yu towards his own body.

Despite only having met Huang Yu for a short while, he truly regarded him as his son.

Perhaps if his Goddess of Life bloodline was fully awakened, that would be fine.

But at this moment, it was only 20% at best.

Huang Yu let out a sigh.

”It's really nothing much. Do you think that I'm the person who ruins his future for no reason?”

”You never know… there are always 'those' types of people...”

Hui Mie didn't know that Huang Yu had an amazing healing factor that he added himself, along with the King's Wisdom to help it.

Huang Yu was never a type of person who took excessive risks for the sake of strength.

Everything that he did were all things that had drawbacks that he could easily manage.

There was no way he would overdraft himself for the sake of a measly training session.

Coughing drily, Hui Mie's expression returned to a cool and calm one as he placed his arms behind his back.

”That's… true. In that case, I think that this battle should end here. No matter what, you're still injured.”

Hearing this, Huang Yu laughed.

”Injury? What injury? I don't see one.”

”Don't pl—”

Hui Mie was shut up as Huang Yu's third eye glowed and his face quickly gained its ruddiness.

Cracking his neck, Huang Yu stood up straight against Hui Mie, his healing factor having eliminated all the sequelae from the recoil.

Summoning the Blade of Tathagata back into his hands, Huang Yu got into a basic stance.

Sighing, the God of Destruction could only create a halberd from a pillar of purple light as he slammed in onto the ground.

Silence predominated the area, as both sides scanned each other, looking for an opening.

In his stance, Huang Yu gripped his sword ever slightly more tightly as a trail of sweat ran down his face.

Just from looking at Hui Mie right now, Huang Yu had already known the result of this battle.

This person in front of him…

He was a monster.

No other adjective could fit him.

Nonetheless, Huang Yu still had to try.

With the looming threat of some love debt from his bloodline, Huang Yu wasn't going to take the risk that the invaders were non-hostile.

It was better to be safe than sorry.

The trail of sweat ran down his nose, before it fell to his cheek,

From then on, it slid to his chin before it fell.

And that was when both sides sprung.

Clang.

The sound of steel sounded through the clearing as both sides instantly engaged one another.

Thrust

Stab

Parry

Slash

That was the name of Huang Yu's game as he desperately tried to get a hit in.

However, reality was cruel.

Hui Mie was like a towering mountain, not giving in even an inch.

Each one of his blows were ferocious yet skilful as Huang Yu found himself soon on the backseat.

Finding a halberd being slammed at his side, Huang Yu was forced to raise his sword in defense.

Unfortunately for Huang Yu, that was the wrong move, as he found himself blasted away.

Inertia

Huang Yu stopped immediately just as he was about to smash into the greyish water in the sea.

Hui Mie's figure cut through the air, as he prepared to slam his halberd into Huang Yu once more.

Seeing this, Huang Yu narrowed his eyes.

He knew that he had to do something about this situation.

If not, at this rate, he would never get the initiative back.

Taking a deep breath, incomprehensible sword intent filled his blade as he summoned an indomitable will to sever.

The Blade of Tathagata seemed to respond to this will as it burst into a pillar of resentful spirits.

Relaxing all his muscles, Huang Yu let go of all his inhibitions as he let his sword do all of the work.

Swish.

The sound of a sword cutting through the air entered Hui Mie's ears as he paused his motion entirely.

As the Blade of Tathagata left a thin red line in the wake of its slash, Hui Mie instincts roared at him.

His body reflexively moved on its own, shifting itself to the side.

It was only after that did he look back.

The seas.

The mountains.

The skies.

The moon.

The neighbouring planets.

A thin line ran exactly down the middle of all of them as they slowly split apart.

Hui Mie was unable to continue to stare as his instincts roared at him once more.

Turning back, Huang Yu was already in front of him.

With his sword in the air, he swung down, intending to finish the fight.

This time however, Hui Mie didn't evade.

The light of his halberd intensified many times in an instant as it collided head on with Huang Yu's sword.

Huang Yu was blown away hundreds of metres once more.

Nonetheless, he came back, locking weapons with Hui Mei and clashing with him again.

As the two collided again and again in the skies, Huang Yu felt himself approaching a miraculous state.

His sword, he had never felt as close to it before as he was feeling now.

Clashing with a halberd, Huang Yu could feel each and every reverberation of his sword.

It seemed to communicate with him, letting him connect with the Blade of Tathagata on a deeper level.

Swing after swing.

Parry after parry.

Pierce after pierce.

A man and his sword continuously learned from one another as they became closer and closer.

It was at this moment that a voice snapped Huang Yu out of this miraculous state.

”That's enough. This battle will destroy the world if it keeps going on.”
