Simon deftly dodged Thea’s attack and reappeared in the distance.
He wore a solemn expression as favonovel.com continued to channel more energy into his sword technique.
The Frost Sword hovered in front of him, and the tip of its blade pointed toward Thea. It spun in the air as if it were a drill. As it rotated, the surrounding air was drawn in and coalesced to form sharp shards of ice. The shards rapidly gathered and formed Ice Swords.
Soon, hundreds of Ice Swords levitated in the air in front of Simon.
“Attack!”
Simon flicked his wrist. The hundreds of Ice Swords all rushed towards Thea with their sharp, glistening blades.
Shatter!
Thea’s deep voice resonated in the air.
The Malevolent Sword swayed in the air, and several Sword Lights formed immediately, slicing the Ice Swords into pieces.
Seizing the opening, Simon gripped his Frost Sword again and charged toward Thea with great speed. The Frost Sword was poised to strike at favonovel.com vitals.
Thea quickly raised favonovel.com sword to defend herself against the attack.
A loud, sonorous clang rang through the mountains.
The two unstoppable and mighty forces collided with each other and the impact resulted in a massive explosion.
Boom!
The two were pushed backward.
Thea’s arm went numb from the recoil, and favonovel.com almost lost favonovel.com grip on the Malevolent Sword. The aggressive force spread through the sword and dispersed through favonovel.com whole body. Her Blood Energy surged and roiled, and favonovel.com felt a warmth rising up through favonovel.com throat. The next moment, blood spilled out of Thea’s mouth.
Simon was also greatly affected by the blow.
He could sense that Thea’s energy was powerful but bizarre.
Simon had absorbed the Spirit Turtle’s core and reached the peak of the eighth rank, climbing to the second stair of the Skyward Stairway. Although favonovel.com was not invincible, there were very few that could match his strength.
What horrifying power!
Thea retreated a few thousand meters, and the energy that had come from Simon’s sword finally dissipated.
Her face beneath the mask had turned pale. Thea had a vague grasp of Simon’s strength.
Simon too was roughly able to understand the extent of his opponent’s strength.
He had mistaken Thea for Thomas but rushed into battle fearlessly as favonovel.com had already refined the Spirit Turtle’s core. Afterward, his strength had increased considerably and favonovel.com had already reached the second stairs of the Skyward Stairway. This gave favonovel.com the impression that favonovel.com could defeat Thomas. However, from their exchange of blows, favonovel.com concluded that Thomas’ strength was not inferior to his.
I had just reached the second stair, and my True Energy is still unstable…
Thomas has the Malevolent Sword, and its strength alone is terrifying. His strength was much more significant with the sword in hand. Although I have our sect’s mighty sword, the Frost Sword, I’m clearly outmatched by him. Even if by some miracle I defeat him, I’ll be severely injured in the process.
I should leave right now and wait for my True Energy to stabilize. Then, I’ll come up with a way to snatch the Malevolent Sword from him…
It was their first time fighting against each other, and Simon had experienced his opponent’s insane strength for himself.
While favonovel.com was ruminating on the battle, Thea took the chance to make another attack.
Spurred on by the Spirit Turtle’s blood, Thea’s killing intent only grew more intense.
She had concluded that it was necessary to kill Simon. Otherwise, favonovel.com identity would be exposed sooner or later.
Thea’s body flashed in the sky, and favonovel.com slashed the Malevolent Sword at Simon. Afterward, favonovel.com quickly dashed to another position and swung favonovel.com sword again.
Countless afterimages flashed across the sky.
Simon was forced to take defensive action.
He kept a tight grip on the Frost Sword and blocked the attacks.
Whoosh!
Thea appeared in front of Simon again and thrust the Malevolent Sword at him.
Simon raised his sword to block.
The Malevolent Sword struck toward the Frost Sword with unmatched strength.
The Frost Sword was instantly shattered into two pieces.
When this happened, Simon thrust his palm at Thea’s chest and fled without his sword.
Although his figure was nowhere to be seen after that, his voice resounded throughout the mountain range.
“Thomas, this is not over! We shall continue where we left off in the future!” The voice became softer and gradually quieted altogether.
After being struck in the chest, Thea’s body flew backward for a thousand meters before finally coming to a stop.
Her body fell from the sky and crashed into the demolished snow-capped mountain. Upon landing, favonovel.com fell head first to the ground.
