boom--
A wave of sword energy erupted.
In the past, when fighting A Bao, he could cleave a crack in the sky with a single sword strike.
Now, after the surging waves of sword energy erupted, no spectacular clashes of techniques occurred.
No Edge simply pressed against the Skeleton King without any further action, and the Skeleton King did not make any further moves.
They could have easily used the two skeletal arms on their backs to unleash a very special ' Cross Slash,' but they didn't make a move at this moment.
It was as if everything had frozen in time; Long Haoyu stood there, and the Skeleton King stood there too.
A somber silence enveloped the world, making everything seem desolate.
" Slash Nine · Heaven-Tilting ·Reverse!"
At that moment, Long Haoyu spoke again.
Witnessing the Skeleton King Skeleton King's inaction and sensing his eerie aura.
The sword waves that had been surging but had not yet erupted suddenly burst forth from the Skeleton King.
A very thin crack appeared on the Skeleton King's body. The crack opened very slowly, but this crack provided an outlet for all the boiling waves of sword energy.
Rumble—
A wave of sword energy, powerful enough to kill a Sixth Order professional of the Same Realm dozens of times, instantly poured into the Skeleton King's skeletal body.
At the same time, the sword waves that poured into the skeleton's body erupted from the Skeleton King's limbs and bones like dazzling, smooth streaks.
The Skeleton King's body had become a temporary transit point for all the sword waves at this moment.
Bang!!
A moment later, the Skeleton King collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The cracks on the body had widened to the size of an arm.
At first glance, this crack looks very similar to the crack that appeared in the sky when Long Haoyu and A Bao fought.
only...
The crack at that time was in the sky.
Now, this crack has been completely condensed on the Skeleton King's body.
The Skeleton King withstood all the power of the Slash Nine with his own body.
Moreover, it was the improved version of Slash Nine Long Haoyu.
With the Power of Breaking, it forcefully blasted open a crack, and with the Power of Reverse, it forcibly unleashed all the power from within.
In a back-and-forth battle, they could be considered invincible in the Same Realm.
"I never expected that the first practical application of the improved Slash Nine technique would be used in this training exercise. I was originally planning to save this move to deal with my uncle."
"It seems I still need to improve my other skills in the future. I can never fully reveal my trump cards."
"A battle without any trump cards offers no sense of security!"
Long Haoyu murmured to himself.
Seeing the Skeleton King's current state, it became clear that Skeleton King no longer had the ability to continue fighting.
This experience should be considered a completion of the present moment.
Although I won this battle, it was a valuable experience, but I still felt a little uneasy.
Just as he had imagined.
Revealing all your cards is never a good thing.
This is not the same as that trump card.
Long Haoyu was well aware that he had other trump cards up his sleeve, but those trump cards were all learned from others.
The Nine Slashes Against Demons are his truly complete set of Self-Created Skill.
Only by Self-Created Skill can you truly understand their strengths and weaknesses, and use these strengths and weaknesses to solve any unexpected situations.
This is something that no other trump card can match.
"Forget it, let's put these unnecessary thoughts aside for now. Now is not the time to think about these things."
" The Skeleton King has been defeated, and I have also passed this trial. Although there is a strong suspicion that I received special treatment, I should still be given the skills I deserve after winning these trials."
"That very special Cross Slash just now, I wonder what kind of skill it is."
Long Haoyu was very suspicious.
Both are Cross Slash, but the Cross Slash used by the Skeleton King is quite unusual.
Even after defeating the Skeleton King, he would not classify such an ability as a regular Cross Slash.
Having had real combat experience, he was absolutely certain that this Cross Slash would have many unexpected aspects, mysteries that he was still unaware of.
Just as Long Haoyu was pondering this matter.
The strange thrill that comes with the skill began to appear.
As if they were in a very peculiar Law Transmission Place, the Skeleton King's very awkward voice rang out in this place.
It was impossible to pinpoint the source of the sound, but it was unmistakably the voice of the Skeleton King.
" Crescent Cross Charge!"
"With the Moon Crescent Power, I will cleave heaven and earth; with the shape of a cross, I will sever the past, present, and future!"
The awkward voice echoed in Long Haoyu's ears.
Listening carefully to the Skeleton King's voice, Long Haoyu's eyes suddenly flashed with a brilliant light.
Just listening to the Skeleton King's voice and the description of the ' Cross Slash ' made my blood surge for no reason.
" Crescent Cross Charge? Severing heaven and earth, cutting through the past and present, this ability sounds incredibly domineering!"
"So it seems that the Skeleton King didn't fully unleash the power of this skill just now because he was just a skeleton?"
Long Haoyu whispered.
Looking around, it seemed that Lin Xin and the others had vanished from the area.
Everything was white, and he was all alone there, unable to see any other living beings around him.
But in this vast expanse of white...
Long Haoyu felt as if his consciousness was being drawn.
It seems as if countless people are cultivating and comprehending this special ' Cross Slash ' called Crescent Cross Charge here.
From nothing to something, and from something to excellence.
Everything, everything, is here.
Long Haoyu looked carefully, then slowly closed his eyes, looking at everything around him, his mind became very peaceful.
His body moved, and the No Edge in his hand also began to move at that moment.
This strange situation continued for a long time, until the surrounding white expanse disappeared and Lin Xin and the others reappeared in their sight.
Without even looking around, Long Haoyu quickly calmed himself down and began to sense his own body; his steady breathing became rapid.
"I can't believe I've mastered the Crescent Cross Charge in such a short time."
"Moreover, only by mastering it can one truly realize just how extraordinary this Crescent Cross Charge is."
"The predecessor who created this skill must have been the most outstanding knight of that era. This Crescent Cross Charge is probably his final act on the Holy Demon Continent!"
Long Haoyu thought to himself.
I feel that I have some control over the Crescent Cross Charge.
The glint in his eyes surged even more intensely at this moment, and his hand, gripping No Edge, began to itch uncontrollably.
