Free Web NovelChapter 236: Frost Against the Black Saber [Part-3]
Frost Against the Black Saber [Part-3]
"Interesting..." Lavish was not angry when he realized he had missed. Instead, the corners of his lips slowly lifted into an excited smile. His golden eyes narrowed as he stared at Selena in the sky.
During that brief exchange just now, he had already sensed something unusual.
Calm.
Too calm.
She had not panicked during his attack, nor had she hurriedly dodged in disorder. Every movement had been controlled with frightening precision. That was not the reaction of someone inexperienced.
He could already sense Selena’s rich combat experience from their initial exchange.
It finally piqued his interest.
Of course, that was all.
The wind around the Martial Emperor Tomb entrance grew heavier. Golden currents of light flowed across the sky like rivers of stars while countless cultivators stared without blinking.
Even Rias unconsciously held her breath.
Harry swallowed nervously.
Rex Vine crossed his arms with a grin.
Lavish slowly lifted his black saber.
"Hide? Let’s see how you continue hiding..."
The moment his words fell—
Boom!
The black saber suddenly moved.
His arm merely swung casually, but everyone present immediately felt their expressions change.
Because the slash wasn’t simple at all.
The air suddenly distorted.
One blade...
Ten blades...
Hundreds...
Thousands...
It felt as though countless saber shadows filled the sky simultaneously.
Every blade contained endless variations.
Every trajectory seemed capable of changing instantly.
Every slash carried a terrifying depth.
The saber energy slowly descended.
It appeared slow.
But everyone knew—
That was merely an illusion.
The next instant, it could already appear before her neck.
Selena’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Her blue eyes immediately noticed the danger.
Locked.
The saber intent had completely locked onto her.
Retreating was already meaningless.
If she continued dodging, she would eventually lose the initiative.
A cold light flashed through her eyes.
Fine.
Since he wanted to see—
She would let him see.
The Amethyst Mist Sword spun gracefully within her hand several times before stopping horizontally before her chest.
Her slender fingers gently brushed across the sword blade.
Buzz—
The sword emitted a low cry.
It almost sounded alive.
The surrounding temperature suddenly began to drop.
Frost quietly spread through the air.
Thin ice crystals formed beneath Selena’s feet.
"Since you want to see how much I’m worth, fine, I’ll fulfill your wish..."
Her incomparably cold voice carried neither anger nor panic.
It felt like a sharp sword itself.
Direct.
Cold.
Absolute. freewёbnoνel.com
Lavish’s pupils slightly contracted.
For some reason—
His heart trembled.
Above the sky, Selena finally stopped suppressing herself.
Boom!
Mana exploded outward.
A shocking cold current erupted from her body.
Blue-white light spread across the heavens.
The world seemed to freeze.
Many people suddenly felt chills climbing up their backs.
Even the clouds overhead seemed to become sluggish.
It felt as though everyone had fallen into an ancient frozen world buried beneath ten thousand years of ice.
Bone-chilling.
Even breathing felt difficult.
Behind Lavish, Elder expression changed.
"This is a heaven-grade Sacred Art?"
His heart shook violently.
His old eyes stared at Selena with disbelief.
At that moment—
Selena moved.
Her body lightly stepped forward.
Just one step.
Yet her entire figure disappeared.
The next instant—
A silver-white figure suddenly appeared among the countless saber shadows.
Moonlight Flicker Strike.
No excessive movement.
No dramatic roar.
Only simplicity.
Absolute simplicity.
The Amethyst Mist Sword descended.
But as it moved—
Everything changed.
Sword intent exploded.
A ruthless and domineering sword energy swept through the sky like a tidal wave.
The heavens trembled.
The earth trembled.
Even space itself seemed to tear apart beneath that terrifying pressure.
Within several kilometers—
Everyone felt a suffocating aura of death.
Harry’s eyes widened.
"My god..."
Rias unconsciously covered her lips.
Even Rex Vine’s playful smile disappeared.
Everyone present was shocked.
"This sword is actually so powerful."
"As expected of Purple Sword Monarch Leon’s student. She indeed has some of the demeanor of a Sword Monarch."
"Just this strike alone is enough for her to become a genius."
Countless people sighed in admiration.
Selena’s attack was simply too clean.
Too decisive.
No wasted movements.
No hesitation.
Only pure sword intent. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Facing this strike—
Lavish finally revealed a trace of panic.
Only a trace.
But it existed.
Because he suddenly realized—
He had underestimated her.
Completely underestimated her.
However—
The panic disappeared instantly.
Because the next moment—
His fighting spirit exploded.
Boom!
Powerful battle intent erupted from his body.
His eyes instantly became sharp.
"Perfect timing!"
Lavish laughed loudly.
His black robes fluttered violently.
The astonishing battle intent of Prison Holy Sect erupted completely.
His aura rose without restraint.
Mana surged wildly.
The black saber in his hand trembled violently.
Then—
He drew his saber.
Not slowly.
Not quickly.
Just perfectly.
A fierce and overbearing saber intent instantly burst out.
Dark energy split the sky.
The saber screamed.
Like countless ghosts crying together.
Not to be outdone—
Lavish directly met Selena’s Moonlight Flicker Strike head-on.
Sword.
Saber.
Two completely different paths.
Two completely different wills.
Then—
Bang!!!
The collision erupted.
A deafening explosion exploded through heaven and earth.
Blinding sparks filled the sky.
Sword energy and saber energy crashed into each other violently.
The ground beneath shattered instantly.
Cracks spread endlessly.
The air distorted violently.
Powerful shockwaves swept outward.
Countless spectators retreated.
Even Harry nearly lost his balance.
"My ancestors..." he shouted while stumbling backward.
Above the sky—
Silver-white sword energy and black saber energy continuously devoured one another.
Neither side retreated.
Neither side yielded.
The battle had officially entered its second phase.
After the loud collision, the sword energy and saber energy canceled each other out.
This collision was actually evenly matched.
