VS Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral

VS Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral

Unfortunately, under the coverage of Observation Haki, Geno's every movement was completely under Li Yuan's control.

The instant Geno shifted his body, Li Yuan's blade shifted as well, then slashed toward Geno's back.

"Sizzle, sizzle!!!"

As the blade came down, Geno instinctively used Armament Haki and Iron Body to block it, but the Army Breaking Sword was even sharper than the Cross Slash.

His Armament Haki and Iron Body were instantly cut through, leaving a sword wound so deep it reached the bone across Geno's back. His stark spine was clearly visible.

"Damn bastard!"

Geno was sent flying into the sky by a single Army Breaking Slash. Enduring the intense pain, he used Geppo to steady himself.

"Where did he go?"

However, when he lowered his head to search for Li Yuan, he discovered that Li Yuan was nowhere to be found below.

"Above me!"

Unable to find him below, he instinctively looked up. Sure enough, Li Yuan had appeared above him at some unknown time!

"Wuji Armament Collapsing Mountain Slash!!"

High in the air, Li Yuan used Geppo to dive down at tremendous speed. His longsword was raised overhead, powerful Sword Qi clinging to its blade.

The moment Geno looked up, Li Yuan's longsword cleaved down through the howling wind like a mountain descending from the heavens, unstoppable.

Damn it, does this brat know Observation Haki too?!

Geno's eyes were bloodshot, nearly bursting. It felt as though he had been locked onto by the other man's sword. No matter how he dodged, he seemed unable to evade that strike.

He had once felt this sensation from a Vice Admiral. It was an application of Observation Haki.

"Armament Iron Body!!"

Facing Li Yuan's descending strike, Geno did not have time to think. He instinctively crossed his arms before his head, using Iron Body and Armament Haki to defend himself.

"Crack!!"

"Bang!!!"

His Armament Haki and Iron Body were both shattered by the Collapsing Mountain Slash. Had Geno not switched to blocking with his other hand, his arm would likely have been severed by now.

The powerful Collapsing Mountain Slash struck Geno from the air and smashed him into the ground, creating a pit ten meters wide and one meter deep.

The violent impact even passed through Geno's defensive arms and jolted his head, causing excruciating pain.

"Wuji Armament Silver Light Falling Blade!!"

Yet Geno had only just gotten to his feet when a silver sword light streaked down from the sky like a meteor.

The incomparably majestic aura of that sword light shook Geno's very spirit below.

"Armament Hook Kick!!"

Geno knew his hands could no longer block this attack. He hurriedly coated his feet in Armament Haki and launched a side kick, trying to knock the descending silver light aside.

"Sizzle, sizzle!!!"

However, the sword light carried an immense suppressive force. Geno's foot was suppressed into freezing in midair, and the silver radiance instantly pierced into his abdomen.

"Get lost!"

Geno was ruthless. With one hand, he grabbed the Sword Body in his abdomen to prevent it from piercing any deeper, while his other hand clenched into a fist and smashed toward Li Yuan's wrist.

Seeing this, Li Yuan forcefully pulled out his longsword and dodged Geno's punch. At the same time, as he evaded, he kicked Geno flying.

He was a Rear Admiral with extremely rich combat experience.

Li Yuan stared at Geno. Li Yuan himself lacked combat experience; otherwise, with his current strength, killing Geno would have been quick.

But now, he could not finish him quickly, because whenever Li Yuan thought he had succeeded, Geno would always pay some price to evade the fatal blow.

"This guy is a monster!"

Geno no longer underestimated Li Yuan as he had at the beginning. Just now, he had felt several life-threatening crises at his opponent's hands.

Moreover, the Shigan wounds that had once covered Li Yuan's body were now all scabbed over.

Before long, they would likely heal completely. Even Geno found that recovery ability terrifying.

"Kill!!!"

Li Yuan gave his opponent no chance to catch his breath and charged in again with his sword.

He possessed many Sword Skills, and they were all strange and unpredictable. With the foundation of a Swordmaster's swordsmanship and his powerful physique, he could develop many of the sword techniques from his memories.

The combination of powerful sword techniques and Armament Haki elevated Li Yuan's combat power to another level.

Before Li Yuan, Geno, a Rear Admiral who had mastered Armament Haki, could only defend without end.

"Since I can't block it, then I won't!"

Even while defending with all his strength, Geno was constantly wounded by the sword. Combined with his previous injuries, he was in terrible shape.

The longer he fought, the deeper he fell into passivity and disadvantage. If this continued, he would be the one to die.

Geno, driven mad, abandoned any thought of defense and directly clashed head-on with Li Yuan.

When the sword struck his body, he attacked Li Yuan with all his strength as well, choosing to injure each other.

"Hahaha, if that's how it is, then let's hurt each other and see who gives out first."

Seeing this, Li Yuan laughed loudly. He likewise stopped defending against Geno's attacks and allowed them to land on his body.

With his powerful physique, he could completely ignore anything that was not a fatal wound.

With Li Yuan deliberately going easy on him, he and Geno continued fighting for half an hour.

Yet after half an hour, Geno's entire body was covered in sword wounds.

The most terrifying wound was the one across his chest. It had nearly cut into his heart, and its beating could even be clearly seen from outside.

"Cough, cough... Brat, I'm a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral. If you dare kill me, Marine Headquarters will surely issue a warrant for you and hunt you down."

"My superior, Admiral Candidate Hormans, thinks highly of me. If he personally takes action, you will never escape."

By this point in the battle, Geno knew he had absolutely no way to escape.

In speed, strength, defense, and Haki, he was inferior to his opponent in every aspect. Only a lifetime of combat experience had allowed him to hold on until now.

Such complete suppression left him deeply stifled. The only hope he had of surviving now was his position as a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral.

"Heh, they're just Marines. At worst, I'll become a pirate and join the Rocks Pirates."

"With my talent and strength, it won't be long before I become one of the world's powerhouses. I have no reason to fear the Marines."

"Admiral Candidate Hormans? I'll remember that. When I meet him in the future, I'll send him your regards."

Li Yuan spoke disdainfully. There were very few things in this world that could make him afraid. He was confident that he was inferior to no one!

"Now, you can die in peace."

By now, Geno's value had been fully used. Li Yuan would never spare someone who had dared lay a hand on his master.
