Chapter 398: Chapter 395 : Grudge??
When Caesar saw Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, his anxious heart finally relaxed.
It's hard to describe, but to see the most trusted comrades in a foreign land, especially when life and death are at stake, the emotions are something most people would burst into tears over.
But of course, Caesar was no ordinary person. He forced down his emotions and reminded them, "Be careful. That guy's Word Soul… it's Judgment!"
Judgment?!
Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were both shocked, their faces showing different reactions.
Chu Zihang was stunned. He had participated in missions in Japan, so he had witnessed the scene with the red-clad girl. With a wave of her hand, she could cut through hundreds of enemy corpses in an instant.
But since the White King disappeared, the red-clad girl had also vanished without a trace, and no one knew where she had gone.
Why would the super-dangerous Word Soul "Judgment" appear here?!
Chu Zihang couldn't understand, his burning golden eyes staring intently at the figure in the yellow robe, as though trying to find some clue.
But the broken yellow robe concealed all the physical features, making it impossible to tell whether the person inside was the red-clad girl from Japan.
As for Lu Mingfei, his emotions were more complicated.
He hated his weak past, knowing how fate would unfold, but he also felt pity for the red-clad girl.
Maybe it was guilt. Maybe it was sympathy.
A mix of emotions stirred within him, causing him to uncontrollably turn his gaze towards the figure.
However, the moment the figure in the yellow robe met Lu Mingfei's gaze, it seemed to stir an extreme sense of disgust, which even affected the surrounding atmosphere. A tremendous pressure, like a violent tsunami, swept towards them, enveloping them all.
"Wait."
Before Lu Mingfei could say another word, his vision was overtaken by a blinding flash of light.
His instincts, honed through countless life-or-death battles, made him raise his chainsaw sword, holding it horizontally in front of him without thinking.
Boom!
It was like being hit by a giant cannon. A powerful force crushed down on him, sending Lu Mingfei flying.
His legs scraped violently against the ground, his shoes worn through, leaving two black scorch marks over ten meters long. It wasn't until they finally stopped that he saw his arms shaking.
The shock had cracked the skin of his palms, and there was a small crack on his chainsaw sword that had been holding up in front of him.
This was 'Adam,' the weapon given to him. Lu Mingfei was horrified in his heart.
If it had been an ordinary alchemy sword, it probably wouldn't have even blocked a single strike!
The Judgment really was an ultra-dangerous-level Word Soul!
Its destructive power was beyond reason—it was terrifying!
While Lu Mingfei was having this mental whirlwind, the person on the other side reached out with a pale, jade-like hand. His long fingers curled in mid-air, as if holding an invisible weapon, and with a motion, he struck at Lu Mingfei from half a street away.
Danger!
His instincts screamed a frantic warning. Lu Mingfei's body froze in shock, his pupils shrinking in fear.
The battle instincts sharpened in the bloody trials of the inferno once again saved him. His body reacted faster than his mind—he covered his head, bent down, and rolled to the side.
Whoosh—
Smoke roared like a dragon, and the fierce wind sliced like a sword!
The entire street shook with a loud rumble. A sword-like energy cut through the air, unstoppable and sharp, like a river being cut in half, severing the street!
A deep, narrow rift appeared in the ground, visible yet unfathomable, stretching several hundred meters long.
It was so close. Just a little more, and he would have been sent to the Golden Throne!
Lu Mingfei's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he swallowed hard. Just a moment ago, if not for his battle instincts, he would probably already be meeting the 'Emperor' by now.
He couldn't shake the feeling that the person seemed to really dislike him.
As this thought flashed through his mind, the figure hidden under the yellow robe gripped the illusory 'sword' and swung it horizontally with a slash.
This time, Lu Mingfei was prepared. His calf muscles exploded with power, veins bulging like a fierce dragon as they ran through every muscle.
He bent his legs and stomped, unleashing immense force that cracked the ground around him, creating a deep pit several meters wide.
Boom!
Amid the rising dust, Lu Mingfei seemed to leap like a tiger crossing a ravine, jumping several meters forward.
A slash almost grazing the ground, carrying an extreme sharpness, its cold gleam like a waning moon sweeping across, cutting everything it touched cleanly in half.
Boom! Boom!
In Caesar's shocked gaze, the houses along the street were slashed diagonally, collapsing into ruins.
The fallen wreckage, along with the terrifying slash that cut through the entire street, made even the battle-hardened Caesar shudder.
If anyone got hit by that 'slash', they would definitely be dead without a doubt, right?
Seeing that the person was about to strike again with a fatal 'slash', Chu Zihang no longer hesitated. He pressed the top of the bronze box, and with a mechanical click, without even looking, he reached in and pulled out a blade.
Clang!
A sound like a dragon's roar rang out. Amid the rising dust, Chu Zihang, like a raging dragon, charged towards the figure.
The blade he drew was pitch black, with a slender, curved edge— a katana named 'Sloth' from the Seven Deadly Sins.
As it was unsheathed, the dark golden patterns on the blade responded to its wielder's bloodline, resembling a dragon breaking through the sea.
The blade cut through the air with incredible sharpness, heading straight for the figure's neck!
However, a long, jade-like, slender finger met Chu Zihang's slash, and with a light flick of the finger, it was deflected.
With a flick of her jade-like fingers, a crisp bell-like sound rang out as they struck the blade.
Then, an unstoppable, terrifying force crashed down like a mountain, and Chu Zihang felt as though he had slammed into an indestructible steel wall. His body was sent flying through the air, tracing a graceful arc before crashing violently into the street ruins.
"Word Soul: Vampire Kamaitachi!"
Caesar's eyes gleamed with blinding golden light as he forcefully raised his bloodline purity.
The howling wind turned into sharp blades under the scythe's wings, rushing from all directions to devour the yellow figure.
"Cancel!"
Though no sound was heard, everyone's minds echoed with those two words.
Then, the fierce wind blades disappeared without warning.
Caesar widened his eyes, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing. His Word Soul… had failed!
Before he could process what had just happened, he saw the yellow figure's sword, which had been held loosely, now swung again, this time striking towards another rapidly approaching figure.
Boom!
The chainsaw sword roared, releasing the Emperor's fury!
Lu Mingfei's figure broke the sound barrier in an instant, the chainsaw sword cutting through the air with violent wind, crashing down on the yellow figure.
Boom!
The chainsaw sword collided with the intangible sword, releasing a massive shockwave in the air.
Like a mushroom cloud, the shockwave rose dozens of meters into the sky, and the sword intent was so sharp it sliced the chainsaw sword in half.
Not only that, the slash had a fatal curse-like power. Even after cutting the chainsaw sword, its force didn't diminish, grazing Lu Mingfei as he fell.
The visible shockwave was severed mid-air, creating an almost vacuum-like area where the air was violently pushed away.
"Is this damn Word Soul?!" Lu Mingfei angrily cursed, his eyes bloodshot. "This is pure cheating! He's hacking!"
He had seen Word Souls before, but a Word Soul like 'Judgment'—this was the first time.
It was ridiculously OP. His newly acquired Chainsaw Sword was cut in a single strike. This was totally cheating!
However, no matter how frustrated Lu Mingfei felt, the yellow figure kept closing in on him, once again holding the sword of nothingness. The chill in the air seemed to grow even stronger.
"Did you provoke him?!" Chu Zihang asked.
"What does it have to do with me? I was about to ask you!"
Lu Mingfei was extremely irritated. He was still wondering why it was only him being targeted. Could it be that the two of them had some sort of grudge?!
