Dark Snake was covered head to toe in Nano Armor. The only place he could be attacked was the gap beneath his jaw.
He had kept that weak point guarded at all times. Combined with the elusive yet devastating Shixian-ryū blade techniques, Dark Snake was certain that even if he could not defeat Lu Qingxue, he could still retreat unscathed.
However, at the very moment he lost focus, the originally cold and murderous sword light suddenly turned soft and supple.
He saw the blade tremble. Then, the Dragonfly Chop he had been about to unleash with a furious shout instantly missed.
The intense sense of imbalance from suddenly losing strength swept through his mind.
A silver streak flashed before his eyes.
Sword technique—Wind Sweeping Willow.
Like a light breeze brushing willow leaves, it suddenly unleashed a Killing Move amid an unending assault!
This was an unexpected attack among sword techniques.
Dark Snake's body instantly stiffened.
He only felt icy coldness spread from his eye socket. The world in his vision was instantly swallowed by blood, then plunged into darkness.
The sword edge that had flashed past at extreme speed also carried high-frequency vibrations.
The blade piercing his eye socket instantly churned his brain into a mist of blood.
Yet the icy blade of the Stacked Snow Sword let him feel a faint chill in his final moments.
That feeling left him no time for any other thoughts...
Before he completely lost consciousness.
Bang.
Dark Snake fell backward onto the ground, his faceplate smeared with blood.
The Stacked Snow Sword struck the ground with a ding, nearly folding in half. Yet with a rapid flick of Lu Qingxue's wrist, the blood staining the blade instantly burst into mist.
The blade remained spotless.
She was rapidly steadying her breathing.
