Chapter 66 Yamazaki’s Ultimate Move

"How could this be?" Yamazaki roared in disbelief—his full-force slash had bitten into the ground! Lin Xing, who had been right there moments ago, was now gone.

The full-force slash struck the earth, and the ground erupted with a thunderous boom, sending dust flying everywhere!

Before the thought could form, Yamazaki sensed a fierce gust of wind slicing down toward him from behind.

It turned out that Lin Xing, to completely fool Yamazaki, had waited until the last instant before Yamazaki’s slash would hit him before sidestepping the full-force attack! He then used his extraordinary agility to flank Yamazaki and deliver a slash from behind!

However, Yamazaki’s full-force strike wasn’t so easy to evade. Although Lin Xing dodged in time, he still couldn’t avoid injury. The back of his left shoulder was grazed by Yamazaki’s blade, though it was only a superficial wound.

Lin Xing gritted his teeth—damn, getting cut really sucked! But he pounced on this opening and swung his blade fiercely down at Yamazaki!

Yamazaki was startled! He had no time to ponder how Lin Xing had dodged his certain-kill slash and instead attacked him from behind!

Yamazaki kicked off the ground with both feet, and his entire body slid forward with a "whoosh" to evade the attack.

But it was useless. Lin Xing was now attacking with all his might. Seeing Yamazaki trying to flee forward, Lin Xing didn’t even pause. He stomped his right foot hard on the ground, propelling himself like a cannonball straight toward the fleeing Yamazaki!

As he fled, Yamazaki felt a powerful killing intent relentlessly pursuing him from behind! Lin Xing was hot on his heels, giving him no chance to look back—nor did he have the time!

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" One chased, the other fled, their battle unfolding across the open space.

Yamazaki kept trying to shake off Lin Xing’s pursuit and counterattack, but Lin Xing clung tightly behind him, never falling behind by even half a step! Yamazaki couldn’t escape the blade at his back.

"Whoosh!" Lin Xing slashed again directly at him. While moving, Yamazaki dodged, narrowly avoiding it.

During the chase, Lin Xing was starting to get impatient. After such a prolonged fight, he’d burned through a lot of energy. Even with the unparalleled recovery power of the Nine Yang Divine Art, Lin Xing felt the toll of the fight.

Lin Xing steeled himself, once again pushing his power to the limit! The rush of power, of being at his peak, was incredible.

Landing once more, he stomped both feet hard on the ground, launching himself into the air like a shooting star, charging toward Yamazaki at a speed far greater than before!

With a fierce slash, he aimed straight for Yamazaki’s head!

Feeling Lin Xing’s speed increase yet again, Yamazaki was scared shitless! He had never been so humiliated, never been chased like a stray dog, and by some unknown junior at that!

Yamazaki felt overwhelming rage.

Lin Xing’s renewed surge in power made Yamazaki feel his life was in danger!

Gritting his teeth, Yamazaki thought to himself, "If this goes on, I’ll be killed sooner or later. But if I flee now and return, I’ll surely die anyway!" He knew the sect’s rules—if he returned unscathed after losing a branch, it would be a death sentence for sure!

"There’s only one way!" A look of venom and resolve flashed in Yamazaki’s eyes.

While running, Yamazaki suddenly formed a strange hand seal with both hands. Feeling the surging power within him, he felt no joy—only deep resentment.

Suddenly sensing an overwhelmingly powerful and terrifying force emanating from Yamazaki—at least one or two times stronger than before—Lin Xing was startled. Could Yamazaki have...?

As he ran, Yamazaki twisted his waist slightly, dodging Lin Xing’s slash, then turned around, gripping his blade with both hands and glaring at Lin Xing. His bloodshot eyes were filled with venom!

Using this secret technique would leave Yamazaki bedridden for at least half a year, and further progress would be nearly impossible! That’s why he now hated Lin Xing to the bone. If not for Lin Xing, Yamazaki would never have resorted to this technique!

"Today, I’ll make sure you die without a grave!" Yamazaki hissed, his snake-like eyes fixed on Lin Xing.

When Yamazaki dodged his slash, Lin Xing stopped and watched him warily. The current Yamazaki, now more than twice as strong as before, was an opponent he couldn’t match. Feeling the overwhelming power radiating from Yamazaki, Lin Xing felt utterly outmatched!

"I’ll kill you!" Yamazaki took a light step forward and slashed at Lin Xing.

Lin Xing remained vigilant, but in an instant, Yamazaki closed the distance and appeared right in front of him! Lin Xing was shocked by Yamazaki’s speed...

Before he could react, Lin Xing was struck down by Yamazaki’s slash. With a "thud," he crashed hard onto the ground. He slapped the ground, using the momentum to throw himself backward, narrowly avoiding Yamazaki’s follow-up slash.

Enduring the intense pain in his palms, Lin Xing wiped the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. At this moment, Yamazaki seemed invincible.

"There must be a weakness!" Lin Xing was sent flying once again! "A sudden surge in power like this can’t last long. Even though his strength has increased so much, such a method must cause severe damage to the body!" Lin Xing speculated.

"This bastard forced me to use the Blood-Burning Technique! Today, I’ll crush you to pieces!" Madness flashed in Yamazaki’s eyes.

The so-called Blood-Burning Technique was a secret method of their Divine Wind Sect—a technique that temporarily multiplied one’s power by burning blood! The longer it was used, the greater the damage to the user. Essentially, after using it once, the user would be crippled for half a year, only slowly recovering afterward. Any further progress would be minimal, almost nonexistent. For someone in the power-centric continent of Casla, this was undoubtedly the most painful outcome. That’s why Yamazaki now harbored such deep hatred for Lin Xing.

Sending Lin Xing flying once again, Yamazaki felt frustrated. This guy was tough—even now, he couldn’t finish him off completely. Though he kept knocking him back, the damage didn’t seem significant!

In that case, I’ll just keep smashing you until you die! A crazed glint appeared in Yamazaki’s eyes—the thrill of wielding immense power and tormenting his opponent...
