Chapter 355 Sword Intent Duel
"I'm definitely going to enjoy this," the blue-haired girl announced as she stared Yi down. "I've been waiting to test my skills against a worthy opponent. I'm Jaine from the Serpent Blade Clan."
Yi showed no fear as she chuckled, "It's good you introduced yourself because this will be the last time someone hears your name. Don't worry, I will take good care of your Sword Intent."
"Confident, aren't you? If you think your husband can save you from my sword, you are gravely mistaken," Jaine replied with a grin and her sword shone with blue light, the snowflakes around her melting from her aura alone. "Tell me when you are ready. I don't want to cut a doll too quickly."
"Don't worry, my husband won't intervene so you can aim for the kill if you can," Yi replied nonchalantly as she extended her finger like a sword. "Go ahead, I'm ready."
Yi's laidback demeanor clearly annoyed Jaine as she raised her blade with both hands, "You are clearly tired of living!"
Before anyone could blink, she launched herself towards Yi, her movements so fast that her figure became a blur. Her sword left a trail of light as it slashed into the air, cutting everything in its path.
Her attack was so precise and quick that it would be hard for anyone to defend against, but Yi didn't even flinch as she raised her finger to block the blade. The two Sword Intents clashed and a powerful shockwave swept the whole area.
Darius raised his eyebrow when both ladies came out unscathed from the impact, realizing this could end up being a close match. "Take her on seriously, Jaine," he warned, but the girl ignored him as her next attack followed right after.
"You have lost right when you accepted the duel," Yi said casually, waving her finger to counter one slash after another. "Your Sword Intent might be advanced but your swordsmanship is lacking."
"Shut up! I'm only testing you!" Jaine yelled angrily and her blade glowed once more, her aura growing with each second. "Let's see how long you can hold on."
"Since you recognize my ability, you should know that you can't kill me," Yi commented, her voice sounding from every direction. "Your ability seems to be strengthening your Sword Intent. How about you tell me more about it in exchange for quick death?"
"Fuck you!" Jaine spat out as she raised her blade, her eyes turning gold once more. "I just have to cut you until you run out of Fate Qi. I can do this all day!"
"Unfortunately, we don't have time for that," Xuefeng announced as he gave Yi a knowing glance. "Yi, let's end it."
Yi only nodded in response and her body exploded with stardust that spread to every corner of Xuefeng's domain. It didn't matter how good Jaine's Sword Intent was, she couldn't block an attack coming from every direction.
Yi's body materialized around her, the shiny swords stabbing into her flesh before disappearing into another location. Jaine tried to teleport away but Yi was already by her side, piercing the blade right through her chest.
"Fuck off!" Jaine screamed in pain as she swung back, but her sword only passed through the empty air. She was in a hopeless situation and no one had any hope for her survival.
"You are leaving me no choice!" she cried again after another stab wound to her body and her body lit up with gold. A Fate Qi barrier surrounded her whole, preventing Yi from doing any damage.
"Damn, to think she would use her Gate so soon," Darius cursed, his expression changing. "Everyone! We need to get out of here or else we are dead! That witch is going to kill us all!"
The experts paled at Darius' announcement, but their reaction was too late, their bodies already stuck mid-air.
"No one is moving!" Xuefeng called out with a frown, his gaze falling on Jaine's barrier. "What is the power of her Gate? What witch are you talking about?"
"Do you think we have the time for explanations?! You better get away as fast as possible too," Darius replied in panic and withdrew an Artifact from his ring. "I didn't want to use it, fuck!"
He crashed the ball in his hands as if to activate the teleport, yet nothing happened, causing his expression to sink.
"It's too late... We are all dead now."
