Free Web NovelChapter 818: Chapter 727: Wandering Hong, Lingering Shadows (5)
Lai Wu clearly saw March’s face and suddenly froze in place, eyes full of disbelief.
"Looks like a meddler is here, I was planning to surprise you."
March looked disdainful, unlocking the black steel armor. She stepped out from the exoskeleton, [Gravity Trick] turned into light, and a powerful gravity descended from the sky, falling on Chichu Chun and Lai Wu.
Boom!
Visibly, the ground beneath the Shadow Queen and Lai Wu cracked and sank, making it difficult even to maintain balance.
As March approached step by step, the gravity continued to intensify. She casually tugged, snapping the red string connecting her, blood seeping from Lai Wu’s mouth.
March stood before Lai Wu, then turned to look at Chichu Chun, the smile on her lips unclear: "Is this the helper you found, dear?"
Chichu Chun: "..."
The train continued to race forward, the sound of artillery booming incessantly, wind and sand shrouding the sky, stones flying. The battle between Life Daylight and Cosmic Heavy Industries was intense, except for the small area where the three girls faced off, plunged into a deathly silence.
"I’ve been waiting for you, and got a bit bored. You didn’t bring anything to pique my interest."
"I forgot to tell you." March looked at the struggling Lai Wu, "The thing with the White Court was arranged by me, that woman’s ambition overpowered reason, not sensing anything amiss."
Lai Wu’s pupils trembled violently, endless killing intent and anger erupted from her eyes.
"Chord Cutting Strike" turned into countless red strings, fiercely stabbing into Lai Wu’s body, tightly binding that dormant heart, as if a pair of hands had grabbed the heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As those hands clutched tightly, the long-dormant heart became fervent and restless, the dense heartbeat sounded like war drums, hot blood pumped through the young girl’s body.
Blood-red strings exploded out from Lai Wu’s back, wildly stirring, she suddenly made a move, breaking free from the gravity’s binds, splitting into three shadows, simultaneously rushing towards March!
Facing the sweeping knifelight, March merely raised her pinky. Continuous knifelight collided with her black nails, sparks flying, all deflected!
Lai Wu placed both hands on the sword sheath, the tachi unsheathed, shadows synchronized with her movements. Dense knifelight tore through space, leaving incandescent slash marks, wave upon wave slashing towards March. In the ’Eye of Dead Chord’ state, with life burning as the cost, her slash speed surpassed past limits, fast enough to slice through time!
But even so, her offensive still couldn’t match March’s defense, or rather, March wasn’t really defending at all, responding with a mocking manner instead.
"Ha~" March yawned.
Knife light deflected by March’s nails spread like a storm, elongated knife light dividing to either side, forming fragmented mirror sections. The carriage behind her was sliced to pieces.
Facing the girl’s storm-like offensive, she appeared unfazed, retreating step by step, the area they moved through shattered the next second.
Lai Wu stepped forward, body slightly crouched, right hand on sheath, left hand on hilt, wind rising beneath her feet. Red strings wrapped around March from all directions!
Chord Breaker·Frost Moon Burying Flowers!
The tachi unsheathed, an endless cold light erupted, the phantom of a round moon concentrated, a silver sea of flowers extended to March’s feet, blooming in that moment!
Lai Wu’s speed was beyond the reach of common people, no one knew how many slashes she made in that second, long sword unsheathed and sheathed again, before the shadows completed their motions out of sheath again, time paused, space shattered, dense knifelight appearing line upon line, slashing repeatedly on the red strings!
She struck with all her might, reaching a transcendental realm of forgetfulness, chaotic knifelight impermeable, knife intent climbing to the zenith!
Slash, slash, slash again!
"Had enough fun?"
March’s playful words made Lai Wu’s blood suddenly turn cold.
[Attack Deflection·Transcend] x99!
All of Lai Wu’s red strings scattered in an instant, her lifetime of attack falling into void!
[Phantom Trace·Transcend], [Fatal Wrist Lock·Transcend]!
Before Lai Wu could react, a pair of black giant hands emerged from the shadows, suddenly grabbing her throat, lifting her from the ground.
[Ability Deconstruction·Transcend]!
Weakness swept over Lai Wu’s entire body, profound helplessness and despair appeared on her face.
This Silent Hand...
Is the left hand.
While the "Starry Singer" possessed the Silent Hand as the right hand, she had only seen one person before who could control the Silent Hand.
The one before her, more overwhelming than the helplessness brought by Dark Gold Rose. Undoubtedly, the opponent is of Light Prism Tier, and stronger, even more elusive than Dark Gold Rose.
Just then, Chichu Chun rushed from the side, suddenly reaching to grab March.
March frowned slightly, seeming to sense something, sidestepping lightly to avoid Chichu Chun’s pounce.
Chichu Chun lunged into empty air, turning back to look at March, a hint of unwillingness and determination in her eyes.
"Something’s off." March raised an eyebrow, "Very off, you seem eager to touch me."
She smirked: "Could it be, there’s something that happens if you touch me?"
"Like, triggering a miracle reverse spell!"
Suddenly, March burst into laughter, as if mocking the girl’s naivety, or as if relieved of impending escape.
"You got that Stone of No Color, didn’t you?"
"Interesting, interesting, too interesting!" March laughed wildly, her eyes becoming more feverishly excited.
She grabbed her arm until it bled profusely, finally unable to suppress her desire, suddenly spreading her arms open:
"Something must have happened, for you to meet Pu’er Shazan!"
"Tell me, how did she die, was it me who tortured her to death?"
Looking at the figure with identical appearance being so deranged and pathological, Chichu Chun frowned.
Moments later, the frenzy on March’s face faded, becoming calm:
"What makes you think you can do it?"
She finished, March used the Silent Hand to pull out Lai Wu’s heart, casually throwing it off the train.
The Shadow Queen rushed out a split second before Lai Wu was thrown, unleashing the cockpit to envelop the girl.
Chichu Chun took a deep breath: "How about we play a game?"
March paused, revealing a look of interest.
"No skill cards, just you and me, a fair duel."
"What if I don’t do that?" March retorted indifferently.
"I’ll directly trigger [Reboot the Future]." Chichu Chun’s face was expressionless. "I still have two chances."
"Shameless threat!" March rarely moved, "Such an interesting thing, I won’t let it end like this, I agree."
Speaking, March faced Chichu Chun, summoning all skill cards; at least hundreds or thousands of limited-grade, all collected artistic-grade, except [Reboot the Future]; each card stained with past blood.
With a snap of her fingers, March set all skill cards ablaze, turning them to flying ash in the light.
Afterwards, March suppressed her state to Fifth Tier, [Lightning Heavy Shadow] fully liberated.
"Come on." March raised the Undead Armament, her smile growing more playful.
"Fair duel."
