The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1269 "Ha!" Death Sword Spirit let out a cold laugh filled with disbelief as if it was absurd. "To say such things just because you succeeded with one sword strike, the Sword Emperor has a more impatient personality than I heard." She didn't seem to care about the shoulder wound at all and wiped away the blood with the back of her hand. "The fight has only just begun." As Death Sword Spirit muttered fiercely, red glowing fighting spirit began to bloom from beneath her feet. Kuguuguuguugu! Death Sword Spirit emitted an aura of completely different caliber from before, as if everything until now had been merely a probing battle. The tremendous fighting spirit rising from her made the surrounding space appear distorted. "From now on..." Death Sword Spirit once again bent her upper body forward like a beast and pulled her sword back behind her shoulder. It was a pose like a beast targeting its prey as before, but the killing intent and aura felt were of a completely different dimension from then. Uuuuuuuung! As massive fighting spirit like red wings burst from her back, the Light Wind Palace swordsmen who had been somehow enduring began to kneel on the ground, crushed by the momentum. "Such fighting spirit..." "Da, damn it!" Burren gritted his teeth to put strength in his trembling legs, and Martha furrowed her brow deeply not wanting to lose, but they had no choice but to bow their bodies to the aura Death Sword Spirit possessed. "Mmm..." Runaan was somehow enduring as befitting a Transcendent, but she also bit her lips until they bled as if it wasn't easy to bear. "Lo, Lord..." "Grrruuk!" "Can't breathe..." Eden's executives also couldn't accept Death Sword Spirit's fighting spirit and bowed their bodies like prostrating with faces turned pale. "You're certainly different." Raon let out an exclamation at the fighting spirit Death Sword Spirit had shown in earnest and nodded his head. "However, the result still won't change." Unlike Death Sword Spirit who was emitting terrifying fighting spirit like a volcano, he maintained a calm aura and curled up the corners of his mouth. "That smile..." Death Sword Spirit stretched her waist like a rubber band and narrowed her eyes as sharply as a blade. "Let's see how far it goes!" She cried out that she would create a different result and flew in while crushing the earth. Chiaaaang! Before Raon could even exhale half of a breath, a black blade flew before his eyes. Death Sword Spirit had struck with twice the speed of their first collision. Huuuuk! Raon gave up blocking Death Sword Spirit's incredibly fast sword and turned his ankle. He twisted his entire body to deflect the curving black sword coming down and retreated to the right. "Hmph!" Death Sword Spirit rotated her body in midair as if she knew that would happen. Like a bird of prey changing direction to chase an escaping rabbit, she switched her whole body's movement to pursue Raon. 'The speed...' Raon lowered his eyebrows as he watched Death Sword Spirit fiercely following and thrusting her sword. 'It's not decreasing. No, it's actually gotten faster.' Normally when changing direction, speed would decrease, but Death Sword Spirit followed him even faster than her initial charge. It was movement that generally made no sense at all. Jjeooooooong! Raon drew Heavenly Drive filled with flames diagonally downward. With Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation Revolving Sky where flames spun like a windmill, he deflected Death Sword Spirit's thrust thick with killing intent. 'Heavy.' Not just the speed, but the power is also abnormal. Death Sword Spirit's sword hadn't just become faster, but its weight and power had also been strengthened even more. Even the earth he was standing on seemed to scream because of the force contained in her sword strikes. Huuuuk! Death Sword Spirit retreated one step because of Revolving Sky's flames, then once again thrust her black sword while coming in at even greater speed. She roamed the air at will like a circus performer walking on a tightrope and targeted Raon's vital points from numerous directions. Kyagyagyagyagyagyang! Raon flexibly swirled the golden flashing Heavenly Drive and deflected all of Death Sword Spirit's storm-like sword strikes. 'That footwork...' It looks useful? He had learned footwork for stepping on air even before reaching Transcendence, but he couldn't show movements as free as what Death Sword Spirit was showing now. If he acquired her footwork, it seemed much more free combat would be possible. Kyagyagyagyagyang! Raon drew a sword path as soft as silk yet flexible, accepting Death Sword Spirit's sword strikes while capturing her footwork with his two blazing red eyes. 'I can see it. The secret was the abnormal flexibility of the ankles.' People think they can show fast and powerful movements just by having lots of muscle and aura, but that's a huge misconception. If the body isn't flexible, one cannot take optimal postures, and even if they can maintain fast speed briefly, they'll inevitably get injured soon. Right now Death Sword Spirit was using ankles flexible to a bizarre degree to show movements impossible for a human body while consecutively thrusting at his entire body. 'Good.' After checking Death Sword Spirit's ankles once more, Raon slowly nodded his head. 'I should be able to follow that level.' Ring of Fire helps create the body most suitable for performing martial arts from even the lowest stages. With his current physical condition, following Death Sword Spirit's movements wouldn't be particularly difficult. "Haa." It was when Raon was about to step on footwork that freely struck and moved through the air like Death Sword Spirit. Huuuuuk! Death Sword Spirit's black sword growled fiercely as it targeted his head. Seuuuuu! Raon was drawing a semicircle with Heavenly Drive filled with softness and flexibility to block Death Sword Spirit's black sword like before when his eyes widened. Tsijjijjijjik! Death Sword Spirit's black sword pierced through Heavenly Drive's defense and fell fiercely toward his head. 'What!' Raon tried to turn Heavenly Drive's handle with widened eyes to strike away the black sword's blade. Piaaaaa! But Death Sword Spirit thrust her ghostly blurred sword like she would never miss this opportunity, pushing away Heavenly Drive and stabbing her sword toward Raon's neck. Kyaaaang! As Raon's red eyes flashed, the Wooden Ring Sword stuck in his right waist rose by itself and struck away Death Sword Spirit's black sword that had rushed as if to reach his neck. "Indeed. I heard the Sword Emperor uses two swords..." Death Sword Spirit retreated quickly backward and let out a cold laugh. "Are you finally trying to reveal your true abilities?" She twisted up the corners of her mouth as if her pride was hurt that Raon had only used one sword. "......" Raon looked at the Wooden Ring Sword floating to his left with quiet eyes. 'That was dangerous just now.' Death Sword Spirit had pierced his defense and pressed her body forward with the chilling will to kill him even if she herself got cut. If he hadn't drawn the Wooden Ring Sword, his chest or neck might have been cut just like that. -You were acting arrogant, and now look at you! Wrath snorted as if he knew that would happen. -Just as you observed that woman, that woman also observed you! That's why your defense was pierced at the end! The guy waved his hands dismissively as if it was pathetic. 'I wasn't being arrogant. I knew it too. Raon calmly shook his head. 'I just didn't know she would pierce my defense this quickly.' He knew Death Sword Spirit was observing him, but he didn't know she would break through the flow of his defense this quickly. As he initially expected, her talent and martial prowess were excellent enough that it wouldn't be strange if she were called the Heavenly Demon's disciple. "Ha." Death Sword Spirit wrinkled her nose bridge while looking at Raon's calm expression. "Do you not have the emotion called panic?" She bit her lips as if Raon's indifference despite having been in mortal danger was absurd. "No, honestly I was surprised." Raon shook his head without changing his expression at all. "I had no intention of taking it out, but you're worthy of seeing it." He slowly exhaled and held Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword in reverse grip. Peoooook! He drove both swords into the black cracked earth and operated Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and Glacier to their extremes. "Sword Domain." The moment Raon let go of the handles of Heavenly Drive and Wooden Ring Sword and stood up, a golden sun and silver moon rose behind his back. "Divine-Demonic Harmony." The Divine Sword forged from the sun and the Demonic Sword created by melting the moon were grasped in Raon's hands as flames and frost surged behind his back like the forms of an angel and demon. An appearance that seemed to embody the word peerless. Everyone breathing and alive stopped their breath at the transcendent aura that seemed to cut down everything that exists in all creation while protecting everything. "Good..." Death Sword Spirit trembled her jaw as if shocked by Raon's aura after opening his Sword Domain while twisting her lips. "I'll also stake everything I have!" As she stamped her foot, crimson fighting spirit like lava soared to the ends of the sky, dyeing all of Eden's main base, which had been full of greenery, with red light. Kuguuguugu! The space where Death Sword Spirit stood began to look as if it was being engulfed and burning with red fighting spirit. As if feeling fear of her very existence, Eden's main base shook and trembled as if it would collapse. "......" Raon didn't emit terrifying fighting spirit like Death Sword Spirit or shake the air. He was simply holding softly the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword that burned gently. "Haaaa..." The tremendous fighting spirit Death Sword Spirit emitted poured into heaven and earth and drew a demon-like form behind her back. Her appearance wearing a blood-colored laurel crown was literally like a sword spirit that calls death. Just swinging the black sword burning red with fighting spirit seemed like all life existing on this earth would disappear. "Grrruuk!" "Da, damn! Hard to breathe!" Burren and Martha were overwhelmed by the aura Death Sword Spirit emitted and clutched their throats. Even the two people approaching Transcendence seemed to find it hard to endure as they knelt and gasped for breath. "Uuu..." Runaan tried to draw out her own momentum at full power to protect the Light Wind Palace, but the martial prowess difference with Death Sword Spirit was severe, so it looked difficult even to protect herself. However, even while her whole body trembled, she spread her aura in a circle, prioritizing the protection of Light Wind Palace over herself. "Hheup!" "Ahh..." "Wh, what kind of monster is that..." Not only Light Wind Palace, but even Eden's executives began to faint while foaming at the mouth, overwhelmed by the absolute fighting spirit bursting from Death Sword Spirit. "I'll cut off your breath right here." Death Sword Spirit stepped on footwork while tearing up the earth. She charged with killing intent so sharp it sent chills down one's spine imbued in her sword. That appearance was beautiful as if a sword demon god was punishing humans, yet ominous and also magnificent. "Yes." Raon calmly nodded his head and raised the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword in a cross. "Let's bring this to an end." Unlike Death Sword Spirit who seemed to pierce through light, he advanced naturally stepping on footwork. Paaaaang! Death Sword Spirit struck down her red burning black sword while cutting through space as if certain of her own victory. The killing will to tear apart Raon even if she herself got cut could be felt. Huuuuuk! Raon raised his Divine Sword toward Death Sword Spirit's falling black sword while containing Fangs of Insanity. The sword strike wrapped in gentle golden flames collided with the sword thick with chilling killing intent. However, the massive shockwave everyone expected did not occur. Kwawaawaawaawaa! The gently glowing blade of the Divine Sword not only pushed back Death Sword Spirit's sword strike but even burned away her fighting spirit. "Wh, what!" Death Sword Spirit tried to push her black sword further, but feeling she couldn't win with strength, she tried to retreat backward while swinging her black sword. Seuuuuu! Raon thrust the Demonic Sword held in his left hand as if he wouldn't let Death Sword Spirit escape. "Hmph!" It was when Death Sword Spirit snorted and tried to escape by stepping on footwork that struck through the air like before. Peoooook! The Demonic Sword advanced as if leaping through space and pierced Death Sword Spirit's chest. It wasn't a matter of speed, power, or swordsmanship. There was only the result that the sword advances and cuts the enemy. "Ah..." Death Sword Spirit trembled her pupils as she looked at the sword stuck in her chest as if she couldn't believe she had been struck. "You said you would tell me the Heavenly Demon's location as you died." Raon looked down at Death Sword Spirit's skin freezing on the Demonic Sword and cast a gaze even colder than that. "This is the result I spoke of."
