An Extreme Realm Expert
Ian naturally noticed the changes in Yuliya!
The sudden surge of Nen and the aura emanating from the opponent.
It's completely different now!
It's like he's become a completely different person.
But.
At this point, he's still a long way from being able to pull off that kind of "power-up" stunt from a shonen manga!
"Boom--"
He was incredibly fast; almost instantly, he cut in front of his opponent and delivered a powerful punch to his abdomen!
With just one punch, the opponent's tall figure was sent flying like a cannonball!
However, Ian frowned.
The texture is wrong!
Under the bombardment of his rock-solid physique, the opponent's flesh and blood should have been directly blasted apart!
"It's blocked?"
Ian muttered something to himself, then his muscular body bent slightly, and a deep pit instantly appeared beneath his feet. With a "bang," he vanished from the spot.
The next second!
He appeared directly in front of Yuliya, who was flying backward at high speed and whose body was covered in scarlet Nen.
He ran at full speed, keeping pace with his opponent.
Then.
He saw it, and was slightly surprised, as Yuliya's pupils were now completely covered in scarlet blood.
The other person's current state is simply inhuman!
She seemed completely oblivious to her own state, her demonic crimson eyes gleaming as she noticed Ian standing right in front of her.
Her tall figure completely defied the laws of physics.
At low altitude, she suddenly flipped over!
"Bass!"
A cold light flashed towards Ian with incredible speed!
Ian frowned and dodged the slash in an instant. However, he was surprised to find that the speed of the opponent's slash was already approaching Netero's punch speed.
If the opponent is an ordinary Nen user, there is no way to dodge their slash.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...
However, after dodging one slash, the opponent seemed to have seized an opportunity, completely ignoring the fact that they were airborne and unable to gain any leverage, and in an instant, they unleashed nearly ten more slashes.
Ian remained expressionless, dodging the attacks in an instant thanks to his supersonic speed.
Then it was as if time stood still.
Ian slowly raised his palm.
"Boom--"
Like a "100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva" that transcends time, a golden light flashed, and the opponent's body covered in scarlet Nen was slammed heavily to the ground. The ground shattered instantly, creating a deep pit with a radius of ten meters.
Ian stood on the ground, looking down into the pit, his brows slightly furrowed.
As the smoke and dust dissipated.
Within the deep pit, Yuliya, her long legs covered in crimson Nen, bent at the knees almost touching the ground, yet she did not fall. Her hands gripped the Tachi, and she used her slender shoulders to brace the katana against the giant golden hand.
Her face was covered by a bone-like mask, through which only a pair of scarlet eyes were visible, completely devoid of any human emotion.
As if they were unafraid of death, unafraid of whatever was to come!
"Did some kind of Nen Ability erupt?"
"It looks... as if he has lost consciousness..."
Ian stared blankly at the other person, his voice calm.
"Right now, you're probably incapable of communication anymore, have you surrendered everything to the knife in your hand?"
Ian's words echoed across the field, broken only by the sound of the wind howling through the air; all was silent.
Ian slowly raised his palm again, his expression indifferent, his hands forming various hand seals, and then golden light from the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva flashed rapidly.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
With each strike of the giant golden hand, the pit sank a little deeper!
It is located in a deep pit.
Yuliya, her entire body covered in crimson Nen, moved like a tireless puppet, unleashing blades of light at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye that violently collided with the giant golden hand!
In just a few seconds.
Nearly hundreds of golden and scarlet rays collided and flashed by.
Yuliya's once slender legs were completely broken, the cut of her shinbone embedded in the ground. Her fair hand holding the Tachi was now twisted, each finger twisted, and blood splattered all over the blade.
But she seemed oblivious, remaining stubbornly upright, like a machine that only knew how to swing a knife and chop.
Even Ian frowned slightly upon seeing this.
To be honest, he didn't enjoy torture and killing.
Seeing this scene before him, he genuinely admired the enemy's fighting spirit.
Even if... the other party might be relying on some kind of Nen Ability.
Just then...
In mid-air.
Aimina and Eluna floated in mid-air, silently observing this scene.
Eluna frowned slightly, staring at the other person, and sighed.
"It certainly seems like the Will School faction. Although these guys have always considered building Nen Abilities to be an unclean act, the Nen Abilities that each of them eventually awakens are often exceptionally powerful, which is a kind of compensation..."
Aimina looked at him and said softly.
"In this day and age, seeing such ascetics is somewhat nostalgic..."
"What a pity..."
Hearing the conversation between the two people above, Ian's ears twitched, his eyebrows rose, and he asked curiously.
What are you talking about?
"What Will School, some kind of ascetic? Are you talking about this guy?"
Ian pointed to Yuliya, who was almost incapacitated but still stubbornly held on, her severely injured fingers gripping her Tachi.
Upon hearing Ian's question, the two did not hide anything and gave him an explanation.
Actually, it was a long time ago, a disagreement between two schools of thought regarding Nen Abilities in the early Gandor Dynasty.
One school of thought, known as the Mind School, believes that building a powerful Nen Ability and utilizing its Nen Ability is the best way to use Nen, and that using various abilities is the most correct way to use this great power.
Another school of Will School, believes that Nen itself is already an excellent amplification tool. As long as Nen is perfectly applied to various martial arts such as intention, swordsmanship, knife skills, and archery, and the power of the essence of Nen is deeply explored to improve the cultivation of skills, this is the path to the strongest.
After hearing their explanation, Ian understood what they meant and pointed at Yuliya.
"So, you believe this guy inherited the legacy of the Will School?"
Aimina shook her head at this.
"Not necessarily. Perhaps later generations simply followed a similar path."
"After all, everyone has a different understanding of Nen, but... Nen that significantly enhances strength like this does indeed seem to be in the style of the Will School."
Aimina seemed to be recalling some scene, and said softly.
"In the past, many powerful individuals of the Will School, upon reaching the pinnacle of their skills, would completely dedicate themselves to those skills, a process known as 'Extreme.' These individuals often awakened abilities of unbelievable power..."
"Although the number of people in the Will School is small, their experts who have reached the Extreme Realm are enough to rival the experts in the Mind School..."
"Therefore, it seems that no one has ever given a correct answer on the path of thought."
Hearing her words.
Ian glanced at Yuliya, who seemed to have lost consciousness and was fighting only on instinct. He stroked his chin thoughtfully and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"You're in charge of subduing this one. Afterwards, I'll extract the information we need from her mind..."
"I'll go take care of those two guys first!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
"Bang!"
His legs bent, and like a cannonball, he vanished from his spot in an instant.
At the same time.
The location of the Evil Mage.
He had recovered half of his face, his expression one of terror, as if he had been resurrected from hell. Beside him, at some point, Siming appeared, wrapped in a tattered black robe, and said in a hoarse voice.
"How much longer? That monster is coming back soon..."
