Everpeace Garden.
In the dark underground chamber.
Li Chengyi, dressed in a Gladiolus Floral Dress, reflected the weak light upon himself, casting golden streaks of light onto the surrounding walls and floor.
’Secret Sword... what exactly is it...’
He was quite curious about the summoning of the Secret Sword caused by the mutation of Evil Thoughts, so he made all the necessary preparations as soon as he returned to this place.
All kinds of asuring instrunts were activated, solely to record how this so-called Secret Sword was summoned.
More precisely, he was more interested in the summoning, the word, this process that Evil Flower had provided.
Because summoning ant that the Secret Sword already existed, and it was just a matter of bringing it to oneself.
Then, where could this place that harbors the Secret Sword be?
This was what Li Chengyi was interested in.
Whoosh.
He lifted his hand, and a subtle friction noise emanated from the armor.
A drop of black liquid erged from his palm, slowly dripping down.
Plat.
The liquid hit the ground, splashing into a strange pattern.
The pattern swiftly lit up with a red glow, then expanded. In a blink, it widened to a circle with a diater of over one ter, encompassing the area where Li Chengyi stood.
’Do you wish to summon the Secret Sword?’ Evil Flower’s inquiry ca through.
Li Chengyi watched the red glowing circle on the ground and paused.
"Yes!"
He answered affirmatively.
Gurgle gurgle... In an instant, the ground within the red circle began to warp and bubble like mud.
This boiling continued for a mont.
Then, at the very center, a blood-red sword hilt slowly floated to the surface.
The hilt was wrapped with wisps of dark red threads, and the guard was made of Y-shaped dark purple crystals.
Next ca the scabbard.
On the black scabbard, both sides were engraved with a multitude of dark, purple patterns and symbols.
The tip featured an openwork fla pattern. It seed to vaguely depict the face of a strange, pained triangle.
Clack.
As more of the sword rose, Li Chengyi grabbed the hilt and pulled it out.
Soon, the glow from the ground faded, and the surface returned to its original state. Only the dark purple longsword in his hand proved that what Li Chengyi had just seen was not an illusion.
A sword summoned out of thin air from the ground?
Li Chengyi could not comprehend how the sword had just appeared.
However, thinking that the Floral Dress had a similar pattern, he was slightly reassured.
Picking up the sword, he carefully examined its appearance.
The entire sword was about one and a half ters long, with the hilt occupying one-fifth of its length. The patterns on the scabbard were unlike any style he had seen before, looking like many curled strands of hair, threads, overlapping in a ssy fashion, giving off a sense of chaos and discomfort.
’Next, let’s see what the sword is actually for...’
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Chengyi reached out and grasped the sword hilt.
Hiss...
Gently drawing it out.
A pure silver reflection slowly glead from the scabbard.
At the sa ti, mysterious characters along the center of the silver sword body began to light up with a red glow.
A stream of information instantly flowed into Li Chengyi’s mind.
It was a strike ability inherent to the Secret Sword.
Beginning to draw the sword signified the release of this ability!
’So this is what the Secret Sword ans... concealed and lethal, a strike ant to kill!’ Li Chengyi instantly understood.
Ching.
He forcefully pressed the sword hilt back in.
In his underground lair, he couldn’t afford to unleash the Secret Sword’s ability.
According to the feedback from the Secret Sword, drawing the sword was the start of activating the ability.
Once drawn completely, if the power released was too strong, it could cause unwanted damage, and he would be the one to suffer.
Standing in place, Li Chengyi held the Secret Sword, frowning for a mont.
He let go.
The Secret Sword instantly dispersed, transforming into countless Golden Gladiolus Petals that vanished.
Then he walked over to the nearby monitoring equipnt to check them.
Neither the recording nor the radiation sensors captured what had just happened.
It was only at the last second that a flash appeared in his hand, followed by the appearance of the entire Secret Sword.
This abrupt manifestation indicated that the previous summoning process was completely invisible.
Having confird that there was no record, Li Chengyi glanced at the sowhat gloomy sky outside the skylight window.
"It seems I need to find a tool person after all..."
Discontinuing the Floral Dress, he quickly left the underground chamber.
Monts later.
A few kiloters away from Everpeace Garden, in the city’s wilderness.
This was precisely where Li Chengyi had previously confronted Li Shenhui from Yuan City.
Li Chengyi, now wearing a Feilian Floral Dress, with tallic blade wings slightly fluttering behind him, stood quietly at the edge of the highway.
A giant white cloth was spread before him on the ground.
It read: Seeking battle, victorious ans father, defeated ans son.
The bright light of White Star coated him with a faint silver veil.
Ti continued to pass.
After about half an hour or so.
A blue short sword shot towards him from the distant night sky.
Li Chengyi saw it and waved eagerly.
Whoosh!
The short sword hovered about ten ters in front of Li Chengyi. At about five ters above the ground, it seed to overlook him.
"You dare to co?!" An annoyed female voice ca from the Flying Yi.
"The moon is nice tonight, and it would be a pity to rest too early," Li Chengyi spoke as he casually activated the Force Field Generator behind his back.
An invisible shield quickly enveloped him.
At the sa ti, the Secret Sword he had summoned earlier quietly erged in his hand, ready for grip.
The Secret Sword, it only needed to be summoned once, after which it could be used continuously.
However, if it was damaged, one would have to wait for the next opportunity to summon it. That was the explanation provided in its accompanying information.
"Thug, you should be clear why I attacked you last ti," the woman’s voice continued to emanate from the Flying Yi. Apparently, this ti she couldn’t be bothered to disguise her disdain.
"So what?" Li Chengyi stepped forward, closing the distance between them.
"So... you ought to take a hint! Hide yourself away!!"
Shh!
In an instant, a blue short sword shot out, its tail end exploding in a burst of white vapor, aiming for Li Chengyi’s face.
Li Chengyi stood in place, ready to use Shadow Flash to escape at any mont.
He neither dodged nor counterattacked to block, instead wanting to see for himself whether the Level Four Force Field’s defense could withstand an attack from a professional Feiyi Master.
Pfft.
The Flying Yi pierced viciously half a ter in front of him, as if thrust into a dense mud, its speed drastically slowed. It also stirred up rings of transparent ripples that spread outward.
As the ripples spread, the entire shape of the force field do ca clearly into view.
Shh!
In the blink of an eye, the Flying Yi was deflected, sliding to the right and flying dozens of ters away into the night before slowing down and returning.
’Blocked it!’ Li Chengyi sighed with relief.
The Level Four Force Field was indeed formidable!
His re use of the force field protection had actually blocked an attack from Li Shenhui.
It was truly the highest end model available for comrcial use, and it lived up to its reputation!
This unsuccessful attempt seed to have taken Li Shenhui by surprise as well.
She controlled the Flying Yi to spin in mid-air, silent, and then shot it back toward Li Chengyi from behind him.
Pfft!
Another dull thud.
The Flying Yi was once again repelled and its force dispersed, deflected sowhere else.
"A Level Four Force Field!?" This ti she clearly recognized Li Chengyi’s new defensive trick.
"Do you really think this thing can stop !?" Her tone revealed a hint of anger.
Soon, intricate circuit-like glowing patterns began to light up on the short sword of the Flying Yi.
Streams of air began to twist and revolve around it.
The white vapor attached to the blade grew denser, almost solidifying.
"Sword Array Mode—Dense Smoke activated," the electronic chanical voice of the short sword Flying Yi announced.
"Acceleration activated."
"Forced lock-on activated."
"Die!!" Li Shenhui roared furiously.
The Flying Yi short sword shattered the sound barrier, blasting out toward Li Chengyi at breakneck speed.
In an instant, when the Flying Yi short sword was within ten ters, its blade silently disassembled, suddenly transforming into dozens of smaller short swords.
All the blades vibrated, whipping up a large amount of white vapor.
The vapor gathered, vaguely forming an over one ter long pure white smoke bird, which rushed toward Li Chengyi with a piercing shriek.
Li Chengyi stood still, not attempting to dodge.
His gaze was fixed on the rapidly approaching smoke bird, ready to use Shadow Flash at any mont.
Soon, the smoke bird drew ever closer and finally crashed into the Level Four Force Field barrier in his field of view.
From his angle, he could clearly see the white vapor and the transparent force field pressing against each other.
The force field deford significantly this ti, bending inward violently.
’Can’t hold out any longer!’ Li Chengyi understood that this was the limit of the Level Four Force Field.
Whoosh!
In a flash, his figure disappeared from sight and suddenly reappeared ten ters away in the shadow of a tree.
But the shadow in the tree appeared only montarily before vanishing again.
"Don’t think of escaping!!" Li Shenhui’s voice ca from behind.
Imdiately after, the sound of the Flying Yi tearing through the air to catch up echoed through the area.
Li Chengyi was sowhat surprised; he hadn’t expected this guy to have learned and beco more observant.
It was evident that she now had extensive surveillance over the entire surrounding environnt.
He had already teleported five tis in a row, now fifty ters away in a dense forest.
The forest was dark, with a few lizards slowly crawling on the trees, and the air was buzzing with swarms of tiny flying insects.
Li Chengyi turned around, checking that the force field had returned to normal. He then gripped the Secret Sword, looking towards the short sword Flying Yi that was rapidly turning back.
"Just the opportunity to test its power."
He held the sword hilt with one hand and the scabbard with the other, drawing the sword gently.
Hiss.
A flash of silver light appeared.
On the blade of the Secret Sword, a series of red symbols lit up.
All at once, Li Chengyi sped up, pulling out the sword with a swift motion.
Clang!
Countless purple flas appeared out of thin air, circling around him.
’Secret Sword: Yinglong!’
The flas turned into a light screen, blocking in front of him.
A twin-winged dragon composed of flas burst from the light screen, roaring as it lunged at the oncoming Flying Yi.
The Flying Yi clashed with the fla dragon in an instant.
Boom!
There was no struggle upon collision; at the mont of contact, the fla dragon composed of fire exploded in the blink of an eye.
A huge fireball with a five ter diater ford in an instant above the forest and detonated again.
Streams of purplish-red fla tendrils split off from the fireball, extending in all directions.
Yet strangely, these purplish-red flas did not set the trees on fire but instead physically slamd into them, breaking dozens of surrounding trees.
The glow of the fire did not last long, just a few seconds, before it quickly faded.
Shh!
The blue short sword Flying Yi, looking battered, burst out of the fireball and flew off into the distance.
With the vision granted by his Shadow Dragon Bloodline, Li Chengyi could clearly see the Flying Yi was covered in various scratches, so areas even showing slight discoloration.
Clearly, the power of the Secret Sword had far exceeded the opponent’s expectations.
The Flying Yi was damaged!
"Just you wait!!" Li Shenhui’s voice drifted from afar.
