Free Web NovelChapter 1115: Chapter 273: Lord of Priest, I Didn’t Mean It (2)
"How can the swordsmanship be this fast!" Marquis You Xi’s eyes flickered for a moment, even the hand covering his wound couldn’t help but move aside, his face covered in blood without realizing it.
But Brand’s consecutive Nine Swords failed to pierce the Defense of the Silver Wall. Instead, he saw silver scales protruding from the courtyard’s muddy ground and immediately felt uneasy. He hadn’t expected the Wind Queen Nine Luminaries to be unable to break through the Silver Wall’s protective force, but instead, had forced the opponent into full fury. De Jia’er’s active element of Silver Wave is no trivial matter; once the Great Sword Master decides to use an active element, this battle could likely become a hard-fought struggle.
A swift battle must be waged.
Brand took a deep breath, with nine figures merging into one. Though he previously appeared to have the upper hand, his left hand was bleeding profusely, and the hand gripping the sword on his right was splitting at the palm. The power of Elemental Manifestation was not insignificant; even De Jia’er’s repulsive force while blocking was somewhat overwhelming. However, he didn’t hesitate; his figure paused, and the longsword in his hand swung down towards De Jia’er’s Light Barrier.
Eagle Knight De Jia’er was forced to this point by a junior two boundaries weaker than himself, now with his heart burning in rage. He gritted his teeth and lifted both swords to block this attack from Brand— freewёbnoνel.com

Sparks ignited in the air, golden sparks jumping and landing on the ground with a crisp snap, and De Jia’er’s short sword unexpectedly broke. Eagle Knight De Jia’er was astonished, for the swords used by a swordsman of his level were all renowned; this short sword named Kai’s Tooth, famous for being a rune short sword, was embedded with Triple Magic, but in that previous strike, all the Arrays and even the magic metal itself had crumbled.
Brand’s passive element Stability gained a significant advantage, though he felt his hand was nearly breaking. In this strike, he activated the Puncture Skill, with a gust blasting from the sword’s edge through De Jia’er, causing a crash; the courtyard was hit with scattered chaos as if swept by a machine gun, columns thirty meters behind were cut off—Princess Magdal clasped her mouth, thinking she had forgotten this was still Ande Fulei Grand Temple. If these two fought with full force, wouldn’t they tear this place down?
In an instant, the Nun Princess became anxious and frightened; although she held a high position here, several elders in the temple could scold her harshly. Princess Magdal bit her lower lip, determined to personally pay for restoration costs, only hoping these two wouldn’t cause too much ruckus.
But her hopes were destined to fail.
Brand slashed a sword, and the Wind Queen Nine Luminaries immediately took effect, with the second sword following swiftly—this time Brand simultaneously activated the Ghost Knight Crystal’s 30% power output and Puncture Skill. With a loud bang, he and De Jia’er both staggered seven steps back. The courtyard ’boomed’ and unexpectedly collapsed halfway.
This time, Marquis You Xi’s face also changed, never having imagined Brand’s strength reached such a level. If they really did demolish Ande Fulei Grand Temple, his days would be troubled. At this moment, he finally reacted, making the most unprovocative decision of his life: "Dammit, stop!"
But Brand couldn’t hear a thing. At this time, how could he possibly stop? Though he continued to retreat, the Wind Queen Nine Luminaries maintained its operation, with a Phantom sword slashing towards De Jia’er. The Eagle Knight was about to go insane, completely unable to comprehend Brand’s inexplicable swordsmanship. Though he clearly saw himself and the opponent both being pushed back, the next moment another sword came crashing down.
What is going on!
De Jia’er’s heart was filled with sorrow and vexation, as if decades of swordsmanship practice were a joke to others. Finally, unable to hold back, he erupted, ignoring Marquis You Xi’s orders, shouting furiously, "Silver Wave!"
Brand slashed a sword, and at the same moment, the air suddenly manifested silver blades without any prelude, slicing through his and his Phantom’s bodies, blood streaming down. It was as if these blades instantly appeared on his body, not even needing time to fly.
This is Elemental Power—
Active elements are the biggest difference between stepping into the Realm of Elements and the power below the Golden Rank. The might of active elements is unimaginably powerful, like Mephisto’s Grey Domain, beyond what ordinary techniques can overturn. Silver Wave is precisely this; its force harms any enemy stepping into this territory without needing attack time, the moment damage appears it automatically applies, ignoring all defenses—elements are forces that surpass the Law, objects cannot block them.
