Chapter 35
A horizontal sword projection surged out, extending for about three meters. Even Snow Maiden’s Absolute Zero seemed unable to stop the sharpness of the sword projection.
The white mist-like frozen gas could even freeze the air, but against Prodigal Swordsman’s sword intent, it couldn’t do anything.
“It has appeared! This is the Gale Sword Intent of Prodigal Swordsman. This is the Sword Intent that carries the Dao of Prodigal Swordsman!”
This sword strike was indescribably free and unrestrained. Prodigal Swordsman held his sword in one hand and slightly turned his body. With his other hand, he took out the yellow-skinned gourd at his waist and drank a mouthful of strong wine to dispel the chill.
“Your Frost Qi is stronger than Li Canyang’s, but… it’s too slow.”
The sword projection pierced through the white mist and stabbed toward Snow Maiden.
Facing the indomitably savage sword projection, Snow Maiden stood dumbly on the spot, as if her feet were rooted to the ground.
Just as everyone was lamenting the beauty’s imminent death, Snow Maiden, who seemed to have been struck by the sword projection, shattered like a mirror image.
Coach Ge explained, “This is her Ice Mirror technique. It’s a mirror condensed from ice and snow. Snow Maiden can move freely in the Ice Mirror she created. It looks like the Absolute Zero was not used to clash against Prodigal Swordsman’s attack, but to quickly create the Ice Mirror she needs. I’m willing to bet that the battlefield is now filled with Snow Maiden’s Ice Mirrors. I wonder what she’s going to do next.”
Hat Emperor promptly added, “If it were Coach Ge, what would you choose under such circumstances?”
Coach Ge pondered for a moment, as if he was trying to put himself in Snow Maiden’s shoes. After a moment, he shook his head and said, “If it were me, I would definitely take the opportunity to escape. However, Snow Maiden is clearly an Esper with a rather extreme personality. From the way she screamed so many times, I’m guessing that she won’t let this matter rest. She might choose to save her subordinates or ambush that masked man in black.”
As expected, just as Coach Ge finished speaking, an Ice Mirror appeared behind Yang Xi.
Yang Xi, who had developed his five senses to the limits, felt a chill on his neck. He immediately realized that someone was attacking him from behind. He did not even turn around and quickly controlled a piece of metal to attack behind him, trying to force her to retreat.
However, Metal Transformation was only a Grade-D metal-type Esper Ability after all. The metal that Yang Xi’s Esper Ability transformed was not hard enough and did not even crack the Ice Mirror.
Demon Dragon noticed this, and he calmly watched as Snow Maiden extended her hand toward Yang Xi’s neck.
“Damn it!”
Yang Xi cursed in his heart. Right now, he was regretting not focusing on leveling an Esper Ability to a higher level. If it was a Grade-B Metal Transformation, he would be able to protect himself, even if it could not pierce through the enemy.
Helpless, Yang Xi could only inject his Spirit Power into the Cursed Blade Murasama again. However, with his previous experience, he could now control the Sword Qi to extend to about two meters only. The Spirit Power consumption was reduced by half.
Crack! The ice mirror shattered into pieces. Snow Maiden’s arm had even been injured, and a trickle of blood turned into an icicle and fell to the ground.
The temperature was too low!
If not for the fact that Yang Xi had a flame-type Esper Ability to maintain his body temperature, he would not feel good just standing there.
“So you are an elemental Esper and your attribute is Metal? But I’m curious, how did you defeat Raging Flames? He didn’t suffer any metal-type attacks.”
As Demon Dragon spoke, he threw a punch. The fist that was shrouded in black Qi shattered the Ice Mirror that appeared above Shadowmeld.
“After Prodigal Swordsman takes care of this troublesome woman, we’ll have a good chat. Right now, I’ll have to trouble you to stand here with me for a while.”
A black flame appeared behind Yang Xi. When Demon Dragon sensed Yang Xi’s intention to leave, he destroyed the Ice Mirror and threw out a ball of demonic flame at the same time.
“Don’t touch my flames. It’s not the same ability as that trash, Raging Flames. It’ll be very painful to be burned by it!”
At this moment, the intentions of the two Grade-A Heroes of Kunlun Corporation were very obvious. As they did not know Yang Xi’s background, they had the stronger Demon Dragon hold him back. After Prodigal Swordsman finished off Snow Maiden, they would come and control him together. With the strength of the two Grade-A Heroes, they should be able to suppress Yang Xi.
At that time, it would be up to Kunlun Corporation to decide whether to kill or recruit him.
Yang Xi had already seen through their intentions. Currently, the only thing he could rely on was the Grade-S Mystic Beast armament in his hand, the Cursed Blade Murasama. However, this weapon would not allow him to engage in a prolonged battle, let alone fight two Heroes at the same time.
Fortunately, Yang Xi had a choice. He could choose to break all his other Esper Abilities into Dark Energy Cubes and focus on upgrading one of his Esper Ability. At that time, he might be able to escape unscathed. The worst case scenario was that he would only be forced to use up his Rebirth ability.
But that was also the last resort. Before doing that, he still wanted to give it a try.
He was going to try stripping the Grade-S Mystic Beast armament’s ability!
In fact, Yang Xi was quite curious about Mystic Beast armaments. After all, he knew that Esper Abilities were essentially made of dark energy. What was the principle behind this Mystic Beast armament that could absorb Spirit Power and release Sword Qi?
When he directly immersed his Spirit Power into the sword, it would turn into nourishment to power the Sword Qi. This time, Yang Xi directly used Strip on the Mystic Beast armament.
Almost instantly, his Esper Ability filled the entire Mystic Beast armament. Yang Xi also felt the dark energy inside the body of the Cursed Blade Murasama.
However, this dark energy was restrained by something similar to a formation.
When one used the naked eye, they would only see a complicated array like a metal circuit carved on the surface of the Mystic Beast armament. However, Yang Xi’s Metal Transformation could not control these circuits, so the material that formed the circuit should not be pure metal.
“Is this the Alchemy Array created by the great Alchemist Damon? It’s a pity that he’s been dead for a long time. Otherwise, I might have been able to discuss the essence of Esper Abilities with him.”
Due to the enhanced learning ability of Super Brain, Yang Xi’s thirst for knowledge was completely different from when he was just a regular salted fish level person. When he saw such an exquisite design, he was delighted.
However, this was obviously not the time to be intoxicated by knowledge. After Yang Xi figured out that the Mystic Beast armament was bound by the Alchemy Array which in turn triggered the Dark Energy contained within the Mystic Beast material, he chose to remove all the Dark Energy from the Cursed Blade Murasama.
Perhaps because the Dark Energy had been reconfigured by the Alchemy Array, it did not produce Esper Ability Beads and directly turned into Dark Energy Cubes.
At this moment, there were about 2,500 units of Dark Energy Cubes in Yang Xi’s body, which was roughly the amount of a Grade-A Esper Ability Bead.
Thinking about it, the grading of Mystic Beast armaments were actually based on the grade of the Mystic Beast part it was made from. This Mystic Beast armament was made from the teeth of a Grade-S Mystic Beast. This tooth alone contained 2,500 units of Dark Energy Cubes. It already retained a lot of dark energy from the Grade-S Mystic Beast.
With enough Dark Energy to break through the situation, Yang Xi now had to choose which Esper Ability to upgrade to Grade-A.
After all, he had to maintain his identity as West Chicken and could not upgrade other Esper Abilities.
It was still the same saying, having too many Esper Abilities was also a problem.
