Chapter 264 The World's No. 1 Sword
Everyone in the Rosas family knew that there was a useless person in the hunting group. He was a legendary figure back then, Guy Willias, the Sword of Justice.
But now, this guy is still a notorious gambling addict.
Not to mention that he had no fighting spirit at all, his body was as thin as a bamboo pole, and he was worried that he would not be able to get up if he fell even slightly.
The former "number one sword in the world" is just a story.
As for his old grudge with the Nine-Headed Phantom Thieves, those people below shouldn't gossip about it.
After all, the "Moon Beauty" Maritis has fascinated Prince Harper, and she might become the princess in the future.
Therefore, no matter whether this guy lives or dies, no one will care, and no one will ask.
Few people are interested in torturing a "useless person".
But no one expected that this guy, who looked like he was hanging on for only a breath, would be so ridiculously strong...
…
Ryan Cat was behind the bronze door, feeling somewhat conflicted.
If those two thousand or so civilian scavengers suddenly poured in, it would be a big trouble for him.
There will definitely be some people from the Rosas family among them, and it will be difficult to identify them, but we can't let the gargoyles kill all of these two thousand people.
But if we don't kill them all, those guys outside will get the information about the third floor of the mausoleum and will have no scruples and just break in.
At that time, Ryan will have to take Catherine away, and the third floor of the mausoleum will completely become the private property of the Rosas family.
His original plan was to see if he could find an opportunity to snatch Naretta away and completely close the bronze door.
But unexpectedly , an accident happened.
A guy with golden sword energy all over his body rushed into the crowd.
"Guy is so strong?!"
Ryan's attention was suddenly drawn over there.
He was probably one of the few people in the world who knew that Guy was very strong even though he was "disabled".
But I never thought that he was so strong.
The dying camp where Guy was originally located was very far away from the bronze gate, and was almost invisible to the naked eye. But suddenly, the dazzling golden fighting spirit that burst out was like the sun, and it almost blinded his eyes.
After all, Ryan had seen all kinds of top masters, but he almost bit his tongue when he saw Guy's "Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky". He was amazed in his heart: "Is this the level of the 'Qi Control Sect' who is the best in the world among swordsmen?"
There are two major schools among swordsmen, the "Sword Controlling Sect" and the "Qi Controlling Sect". Guy's body had been ravaged by poison for many years, but he never expected that his fighting spirit was not affected at all.
And there is also the "sword intent" that is exaggerated to the extreme!
When Ryan was still at the second level of transcendence, he had experienced Guy's sword intent of "Evil Cannot Suppress Justice". At that time, his realm was too far behind and he could not understand it at all.
Now that he has comprehended the "momentum" of fighting spirit at the third level, he thought he could understand it. However, he did not expect that the higher his realm, the more unfathomable it seemed to him.
The fighting spirit of that guy was actually a "sword energy waterfall" hanging in the air!
The golden scales flow turbulently, and when viewed from afar, the waterfall seems to be connected with the "starry sky" above. At a glance, it seems that Guy has brought the starry sky down to the earth.
…
Guy suddenly jumped up, and the one closest to him, [Moon Beauty] Maritis, felt it the most deeply.
The aura that was suffocating her was far beyond that of any fifth-level master she had ever seen.
The "Lust Sequence" belongs to the spiritual system, and the body is weak. Maritis was locked by Guy's strong fighting spirit, as if her body was pressed by a mountain and she couldn't move at all.
Her shock instantly turned into despair. All the hatred and sarcasm seemed so ridiculous. Only one thought remained in her mind.
That is , despair!
Unable to struggle against despair!
Strands of golden sword energy like shuttles penetrated into her body without any hindrance, and then rushed out again. It was light and dreamy.
But that was the encounter.
The expression of the "future princess", who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, froze in an instant.
The spirit in his eyes suddenly dimmed.
Guy ignored her, as if he never took this peerless beauty seriously, and walked straight forward.
During this time of passing each other, tiny blood lines appeared on Maritis's snow-white skin. There were so many tiny blood lines that there were probably hundreds of them.
Then, there was the sound of dense water spraying.
“Puff~”
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
In just one encounter, this enchanting body, which could be called a peerless beauty, was instantly riddled with holes, and she didn't even have time to struggle or resist. Her dumbfounded expression was still frozen, but in the blink of an eye, her face, arms, brows, chest, abdomen, hands, legs... countless wounds all over her body spurted blood, splattering all over her body in scarlet.
This beautiful body was instantly transformed into minced meat in a pool of scarlet blood.
Guy walked towards the bald Yuk, made a claw with one hand, and shouted softly: "Sword."
As soon as he spoke, the law came true, as if an invisible hand was reaching out into the void.
With a clang sound, the long sword at the waist of the accessory knight not far away came out of the sheath and was held in Guy's right hand.
His momentum reached a new level, and at that moment, there was no one else in his eyes.
This is the domineering nature of a peerless swordsman. With a sword in hand, he can chop down mountains, chop down seas, and chop down the injustice in his heart...
Nothing can be cut!
Once I have a sword in my hand, I will be invincible in the world.
With the sword in hand, this former "number one swordsman in the world" seemed to hold the entire world in his hands.
…
In the distance, Ryan was shocked and seemed to understand something: "Is this... the 'Sword Way' above the sword intent?"
…
“Damn it!”
Bald Yuke watched his niece die tragically in front of him, and cursed in fear and anger in his heart.
Guy's sickly guy suddenly became extremely domineering. He had no intention of resisting at all, but his body's instinctive reaction was extremely fast. The moment the golden sword energy was exposed, he retreated a hundred meters.
[Desert Eagle] This nickname is as the name suggests, he is good at flying and escaping at high speed.
The reason he was able to escape from Guy's pursuit that year was because of his ghostly escape speed.
Seeing Guy, who was in such a powerful position in front of him, he was so scared that his heart was about to burst. How similar was this scene to that year?
That killer guy... is back again!
That kind of great fear of being dominated by death at all times...is back again!
Back then, their "Nine-Headed Owl Phantom Thieves" were attacked and killed by this guy along the way. He killed them seven times with one sword. The tragic death of the brothers is still vivid in my mind...
This caused him to feel a deep fear whenever he saw a swordsman with a sword during his many years on the run.
Now, that familiar feeling of fear is back.
No, it's even more terrifying than before!
Guy's sword intent made Yuke feel unparalleled despair.
If you get touched by that sword light, you will die...
Even though Youke had chosen to escape the moment he was shocked, at this moment, when he saw the guy holding the hilt of the sword, he thought something was wrong and quickly turned his body and made an extreme evasive move.
Sure enough, when the sword was slashed down, a golden "crescent" flew out from the blade.
The sword energy was as swift as lightning. As soon as Yuk caught sight of the condensed sword energy, he felt a chill on his waist almost at the same time.
Then the next second, I heard the sound of clothes being torn.
Looking closely, he saw that the sword energy had already left a finger-deep wound on his waist.
"Damn it...what kind of sword energy is this! It's so sharp!"
Just one sword strike broke the protective fighting spirit and injured his main body, and Youke was so frightened that his soul left his body.
If he had not dodged just now, this sword would have cut him in half and taken his life!
Although Yuke is a fourth-level extraordinary person, his combat power is also at the top of the pyramid among the fourth-level people. Now his fighting spirit and armor are extremely solid. He is very confident that even if he faces Guy at his peak, he is absolutely confident that he can save his life!
But now, he was almost cut by a sword from a distance?
After being hit by the sword, Youke immediately understood and was horrified: "There is something wrong with that guy's sword intent! No, it's not at the level of sword intent anymore..."
If Guy back then was like a sharp sword, invincible, but at least you could see the edge, which could be avoided or blocked; but Guy at this moment is like an "invisible blade", you have no idea where his murderous intent is hidden!
"What on earth has this guy been through over the years to realize this...what on earth is this sword art?!"
Yuke was terrified.
He knew very well that if he fought alone, he would surely die within a few rounds.
Then, regardless of the shame, the "Viscount" turned around without hesitation and rushed into the group of noble knights, shouting, "Protect me!"
…
In fact, as early as the moment when Guy's aura exploded, everyone in the hall noticed the movement here.
The golden sword energy that stung people's eyes almost blinded everyone in this dark underground palace.
But no one expected that Guy was so fierce. He killed [Moon Beauty] Maritis in one encounter, and almost killed the fourth-level [Desert Eagle] Youke with another sword move from the air.
One dead, one injured.
This made everyone wake up.
It turned out that the "useless person" in their eyes was so ridiculously strong.
It’s as if I saw the invincible posture of the “Ten Legends”!
When Prince Harper saw his beloved being stabbed into a human fountain, he cried out in grief: "Oh, my dear Maritis!!!"
The "Moon Beauty" had put a lot of effort into this prince. The extraordinary ability of the "Lust Sequence" allowed Harper to enjoy the bliss of the world, and had already won his heart and obeyed his every word. Now, even if Maritis asked him to die, the prince would not hesitate at all.
But now, the beauty was killed, and Harper suddenly felt as if his heart was being cut out. He felt the despair of the world collapsing, and he went crazy in an instant.
With red eyes, he roared at his subordinates: "Ah... Kill him, cut him into pieces!"
Prince Harper was the most senior person present after all, and at his command, the royal guards quickly moved. In front of a high-level official, the various knight corps quickly assembled and surrounded the city with a thick shield formation.
At this time, the battlefield commander also shouted loudly.
"First Legion, form the 'Koslav Formation' and surround and kill the assassin!"
The legion had special battle formation training for top-level extraordinary people, which allowed the knights to act in an orderly manner. Some of them continued to watch the civilian wasteland hunters, while others formed a triangular shield formation and rushed forward.
Without them having to do anything, Guy rushed over with a sword in hand.
The golden sword energy made the ordinary iron sword in his hand look like a divine weapon, and the sword light extended several meters.
Guy looked at the group of a hundred knights coming towards him and rushed forward without fear.
This shield formation is similar to the previous one used to deal with the snake king, that is, the shields are connected, and the force of a single shield can be distributed to almost everyone in the team. In this way, even if the opponent is a top powerhouse, the battle formation will not be easily broken.
However, when faced with Guy, the peerless swordsman, the shield formation was completely useless.
But he thrust out his sword, accurately poking into the gap in the shield, and then the sword energy shot out, completely avoiding the front of the shield and directly injuring the knight hiding behind the shield.
It was this sword that instantly tore a hole, and then Guy stabbed in unhindered.
Break the formation with skills!
This group of a hundred people, which was originally able to withstand the impact of fourth- and fifth-level monsters, seemed to become paper-mache under Guy's sword and could not provide any resistance at all.
Seeing how easily Guy broke a "group of one hundred men", the high-ranking officials of the Rosas family were all terrified.
The battlefield commander was even more horrified, and shouted repeatedly: "Quick! Close the battle line... form a chain battle formation of a thousand people!"
He understood that now it was not them who were looking for trouble with each other, but the other party who was looking for trouble with them.
That peerless swordsman was coming for Prince Harper and other high-ranking members of the Rosas family!
And in just a moment, the closed defense circle had formed the first chain battle involving a thousand men.
Those heavily armored knights surrounded the perimeter like an iron gate.
The advantage of this large-scale "iron barrel formation" is that no matter which direction the soldiers are hit hard, there are enough reserve personnel to replace them. This tactic is a defensive counterattack, using human lives and equipment to kill high-level extraordinary people.
Even if one life can only consume a little bit of his fighting spirit, a thousand lives would also consume a thousand points of fighting spirit!
When the target's fighting spirit is exhausted, that's when the top masters get the chance to take action!
But... no one expected that the "Iron Bucket Formation", which had worked every time and could easily restrain fifth-order transcendents, still couldn't stop that peerless swordsman.
Even when facing it, Guy still had a calm and almost numb expression.
He raised his hand and pointed, and the golden "waterfall of sword energy" behind him came straight at him like a golden streak, and in the blink of an eye, a shadow of an eight-armed demon god dozens of meters tall condensed behind him.
The demon god was solemn and dignified, with eyes as big as copper bells and flaming hair, looking like he was subduing demons...but in stark contrast, under his feet was a sea of blood and corpses that made people dizzy and nauseous at the sight of it.
"Secret Technique: Eight-Armed Ksitigarbha!"
After Guy transformed into a phantom, his overall momentum rose significantly and his aura changed abruptly.
What’s frightening is that… his eyes and hair actually took on the same eerie red color as the demon’s phantom behind him.
After this secret technique was performed, not only those people from the Rosas family, but also the more than 2,000 civilian liar hunters, and Ryan who was not far from you all felt the terrifying "indiscriminate killing intent".
At this moment, Guy seemed to have turned into a blood-red sword, sharp enough to be seen with the naked eye. It was the kind of aggressiveness that made people feel as if the sword could cut their souls through the air.
Guy's entire demeanor suddenly changed, from a harmless, useless gambler to a murderous demon who treated all living beings as worthless.
Oh no!
That's just one side of his face!
On the other side, it shines with golden light, presenting an image of great compassion and majesty!
This half-sexy smile and half-solemn expression appeared on Guy's face at the same time.
Then, the eight-armed demon swung his sword, and the eight arms and eight swords formed overlapping shadows, transforming into one hundred and eight thousand swords, which slashed down at the square formation of a thousand people.
For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and broken limbs and arms were everywhere. Heavy armor might be able to block a ray of sword light from the 180,000 swords, but those cloth armors... would kill anyone who touched them.
It's like hell on earth.
…
On the other hand, Ryan was stunned. "Is this the best swordsmanship in the world..."
Seeing this sword, he finally understood what Guy had said to him in the "Black Wind Territory": My swordsmanship used to be unmatched in the world. Now, after I have comprehended the "Way of the Sword", no one can match me.
Now, after seeing this sword technique, he finally understood where the gap was.
That ultimate sword move was truly the application of sword skills to an impeccable level.
No sword is wasted, and every sword swing must hit the vital point accurately.
It was as if Guy had already locked onto the enemy's position without using his eyes, and every strike of his sword would bring about a flash of blood.
What's even more bizarre is that after Guy killed someone, a thick layer of blood mist rose from the golden sword energy all over his body. After killing someone, his momentum did not diminish, but instead became higher and higher.
The more people you kill, the higher your momentum becomes and the sharper your sword becomes!
It looks very strange, like a real demon, existing purely for killing.
Ryan finally understood that when Guy slaughtered tens of thousands of people with just a sword, it was probably the scene before his eyes.
For a moment, he even thought that Guy was possessed by a demon.
But if you look closely at his other half's expression, he is almost numb and calm, without any trace of "possessed" madness. In the melee, Guy can even easily distinguish and avoid those poor wasteland hunters thrown out by the nobles as shields.
Half of the golden "justice" and half of the bloody "killing" coexist, conflicting with each other, yet also balancing each other, achieving a delicate balance.
When Ryan saw the strange sight of "red and gold gas steaming alternately" on Guy's body, he realized that his understanding was too one-sided.
He thought he understood Guy's sword intent before, but it turned out that he was still far from it.
“Evil cannot prevail over good, good and evil coexist… So it turns out that this is not just one, but two sword intents that coexist at the same time?! How is this possible? What level of extraordinary power has Guy realized…”
