Chapter 1974: A Technique For A Technique
Ellia closely looked at Rayn Shard, unable to believe that he would actually challenge her after she had already displayed her prowess. To her knowledge, Rayn Shard had condensed a perfect Vast Sea, and although Sword Laws's destructive prowess was terrifying, it still did not allow him to remain challenging in front of his counterpart, Ivy Aries, much less her.
What was he relying on to challenge her? Or was it pure stupidity?
As the question remained in her mind, she took a step forward in the air and flew towards the battle stage. She didn't speak, but her actions told everyone that she accepted his challenge.
Rayn Shard had a golden-colored sword strapped to his back.Immerse Yourself in the Storyverse: N♡vεlB¡n.
That sword was at Mid-Level Emperor Grade but allowed him to reign supreme over many young geniuses at a similar level. He only needed one swing of his sword to decimate them. All of his opponents crossed through the realm of life and death while battling him because one fatal mistake would've caused them to become severed into two.
Fortunately, Rayn Shard displayed immense control over his sword arts, allowing his opponents to receive a minimal injury. His display earned the people's approval, unlike Schleya, who went left and right, cutting down limbs like cabbages.
Rayn Shard stood on the flat surface with his hands folded, radiating a heroic aura as his black hair swayed in the wind. He wore a specialized gold-black robe, and his face looked suave and handsome, possessing a fatal attraction to many women.
His eyes were focused on Myria's figure, possessing a certain amount of desire and lust before it disappeared.
"Let the battle begin!"
Honorable Elder Julian Kruse's voice echoed. However, Rayn Shard didn't move but opened his mouth.
"Fairy Myria, thank you for accepting the challenge. I know you probably look down on me but do you dare accept a bet?"
Ellia raised her brows, "What kind?"
"Do you dare accept a bet or not?"
"Nope~" Ellia appeared lazy as she hung her shoulder and yawned.
"You-"
Rayn Shard couldn't believe that this was the mannerism of a high-above swan. He found it hard to believe such a strong and elegant woman who sneakily slapped the Vast Sky Emperor out of aversion would act unrefined at this moment.
He imagined that she was doing this on purpose to put him off, but he had seen many women and wasn't easily thwarted.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to ask your hand in marriage or anything of that sort. I just want to discuss and learn about the technique you used to revive that armament spirit previously. If I win, do you dare to bet that you will teach it to me without reserve?"
It held immense value to them.
Meanwhile, Davis was laughing.
Looking at Ellia's condescending talk, Davis felt that it was funny. He was sure that it was Ellia because Myria possessed an untouchable air and an innate air of arrogance around her, unlike Ellia, whose mannerisms were forced as though she was either copying him or Myria. This is why he could tell for the Vast Sky Emperor to near Myria and stand only a meter apart was courting death that she slapped him away.
However, for Ellia to ask for those manuals and techniques, was she curious of Sword Laws, or was she doing it for him?
Davis shook his head. Why would Ellia do it for him? She shouldn't know Tanya Frostblight was his woman. Besides, even if Ellia wanted to, would Myria let her?
While he was thinking, he noticed Rayn Shard talk to his sect leader and Ancestor using soul transmission. Ellia had also noticed, but she didn't interfere.
After some time, Rayn Shard nodded his head.
"Fine, we'll sign a Blood Soul Contract."
"No need. I'm not a person who will renege on her words. If at all you want to sign the Blood Soul Contract, be my guest because I also know how to break it without even trying. Only you'll be caught in it like a rat and forced to eat your own droppings."
Ellia's arrogant words fell, but they created waves among the people.
Somehow, they didn't feel like doubting Myria's words at all because her mysteriousness was as equal as the Emperor of Death. However, they were shocked at the Emperor Sword Sect's decision to bet their entire sect's inheritance to Myria.
Were they really that sure that Rayn Shard could win this battle? If not, aren't they automatically handing over their inheritance to her? Or was that armament spirit revival technique possessed that kind of worth to throw caution to the wind?
They were shaken.
Originally, they thought that this battle might quickly end, but it seemed like Rayn Shard remained confident. Is he hiding his sea just like Ivy Aries did till she met Yin Lotus Fairy?
Rayn Shard trembled on hearing Myria's comparison. Like a rat forced to eat its own droppings? She mean his shit?
"Fine, since you're intent on insulting me, I won't give you any respect as well. Prepare to defend against my full onslaught because I won't be holding back."
Rayn Shard raised his hand to grab his golden sword, but instead of grasping its hilt, a common iron sword appeared in his hand as he slashed.
A terrifying diagonal crescent wave emerged as it struck towards Ellia, heading towards her with a tremendous speed that its space cracked in its wake.
It slashed past Ellia, causing her white hair to sway heavily. As for the slash, it missed her by a slight margin, the spatial crack beside her trying to suck her into its world but became quickly stitched back.
Everyone's eyes were wide with shock when one of them abruptly noticed the ancient aura from the ordinary iron sword.
"That... that's the Soaring Emperor Sword! The Legacy Artifact of the Emperor Sword Sect!"
