Chapter 291: Passing the Second Layer—Boom!
Saber and spear collided head-on.
Lin Yi's right arm sank.
The gray-white ground beneath his feet cracked in an instant.
The projection opposite him also retreated half a step.
The next moment.
Both surged forward again.
There was no probing.
Nor any holding back.
The spear bore down from the front.
Lin Yi slashed diagonally with the Cangjin Saber.
The spearhead had barely touched the blade when it suddenly slid downward.
Another change.
Lin Yi turned his wrist with it.
The power of water and fire shifted simultaneously.
The spear tip was knocked aside.
The projection stepped in.
The butt of its spear was already hurtling toward Lin Yi's chest.
Lin Yi held his saber across his body.
The wound already in his chest was jolted again.
He slid back several yards.
The projection followed.
Its spear tip thrust out in succession.
The first thrust.
Lin Yi blocked.
The second thrust.
He blocked again.
The third thrust suddenly veered toward his shoulder.
Lin Yi leaned aside.
The spearhead scraped past the wound.
Blood spattered again.
The Cangjin Saber descended at that very moment.
The projection withdrew its spear to defend.
It was knocked back.
Lin Yi did not stop.
One step.
One slash.
Fire bore down.
The projection held its spear horizontally to block.
At the instant of collision.
The fire abruptly turned to water.
The formerly heavy blade suddenly slipped.
It cut inward along the spear's shaft.
The projection retreated.
Lin Yi pursued.
His blade swept past, almost brushing its chest.
Just a little short.
But the spear had already risen again.
Its tip swept upward from below.
Lin Yi could only withdraw his saber.
The two separated again.
A breath.
One heartbeat.
They clashed again.
Time had lost all meaning.
Lin Yi
