The long sword produced gorgeous rays of light that passed by his side, as if weaving a net of light, gradually surrounding Ling Zhan.
The battle entered a white-hot stage. Tou Taijiro shuttled through the thunder and lightning at an extremely fast speed. Ling Zhan was not to be outdone. His samurai sword seemed to have become the incarnation of thunder and lightning, and every swing carried the power to destroy everything.
However, with the support of Starburst Airflow Slash, Tou Taijiro was like a ghost warrior shuttling through thunder and lightning. Every movement he made was extremely precise, and he finally found the flaw in Ling Zhan's defense.
After a brilliant confrontation, Tou Taijiro used a powerful blast of air to break through Ling Zhan's lightning defense and cut off Ling Zhan's left arm with one blow.
Ling Zhan, who suffered a serious injury, did not dare to be negligent at all and took an offensive posture again. After all, the best defense is offense.
Although he lost an arm, Ling Zhan didn't care about his injury at all.
Ling Zhan leaped into the air and unleashed his most exquisite sword technique—【Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain!】
The hallmarks of his Wind skills are his speed and power. Like the wind, he leaps across the battlefield, agile and maneuverable. Ling Zhan is like a whirlwind. Though he possesses only a single arm, each of his strikes is like a continuous wave, one after another, constantly attacking Tōtajō like waves crashing against the shore, and the power is increasing and strengthening.
Next came "Forest," Ling Zhan's second move, which was even more complex and unpredictable. He was as agile as a cheetah darting through the deep forest, his sword slicing through the air like countless leaves dancing in the wind, leaving no one knowing where it would land the next moment.
Then, "fire" became the turning point of Ling Zhan's swordsmanship. He swung violently through the air, like a raging fire, bringing endless brilliance and scorching heat. His movements were more precise than before, each stroke seeming to ignite his strength, and flaming sword energy gushed out at an astonishing speed.
Finally, there's "Mountain." This is Ling Zhan's final trump card, his most powerful strike. He aims the tip of his sword at the enemy, steady as a mountain. Then, he unleashes a powerful, decisive blow. The sword energy, like a mountain, blasts directly at the enemy.
The sparks of battle ignited as their eyes met. Ling Zhan took the lead, his blade as fierce as a storm, the very "wind" of his Fenglinhuoshan sword technique. Knowing he couldn't outmatch Tōtōjirō in strength, he opted for speed and surprise. His figure flickered across the battlefield like a gust of wind, each flash accompanied by a sharp blade flash as it slashed towards Tōtōjirō.
Although Tou Taijiro reacted quickly, he still seemed a little flustered facing Ling Zhan's agile attack.
Next, Ling Zhan launched a "forest"-style offensive. His movements were like a ghost hunting the wind in the forest, murderous intent hidden among the fallen leaves. Ling Zhan unleashed a series of sword strikes, overlapping each other, restraining Tou Taijiro.
Ling Zhan was now like being in a forest, using the trees for cover as he launched a desperate attack. Every swing of his sword was like a broken branch or leaf, penetrating every hole, trapping Tou Taijiro in a phantom.
However, the "Fire" style is the most powerful style in Ling Zhan's sword technique.
Ling Zhan seemed to have transformed into a fire spirit. With a single turn, he gathered all his strength and erupted like a ferocious beast. His swordsmanship suddenly became swift and ferocious, like a devastating wildfire, striking Tou Taijiro head-on. Ling Zhan was no longer just attacking slowly, but now he was attacking Tou Taijiro with a burst of force.
Faced with the sudden increase in the power of swordsmanship, Tou Taijiro seemed a little overwhelmed. He released powerful sword energy to block and hurriedly retreated to distance himself from Ling Zhan.
After a round of fierce attacks, Ling Zhan's eyes were blazing with fire, and he concentrated all his momentum and strength.
He seemed to have turned into an unshakable mountain, causing tremendous psychological pressure on Tou Taijiro.
With a single, utterly ferocious blow, his blade, impenetrable as a mountain, struck Tōtaijirō's vitals. Under the immense pressure of the blade and the terrifying killing intent, Tōtaijirō finally showed a flaw. Ling Zhan seized the opportunity, condensing a mountain of saber energy from the tip of his blade directly at Tōtaijirō. Tōtaijirō cried out in agony, spurting blood. He seemed to be hurled backward by the immense force. Ling Zhan, however, maintained the same stance he had held before the strike, his single-armed body erect like a pine tree, unmoved in the wind.
After the intense attack, Ling Zhan's breathing became rapid, and he had consumed a large amount of his supernatural power. His lightning armor was no longer stable. Tou Taijiro was also severely injured. He struggled to his feet from the ice pit. "Haha, you're quite capable!" Tou Taijiro grinned.
Amidst the blizzard, Ling Zhanzhan's lightning armor gleamed its final gleam. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his chest, which rose and fell from the intense battle. He felt the drain of his supernatural powers, but his resolve remained undimmed. Though Toudaijiro was gravely wounded, Ling Zhan knew clearly that this Sakurajima stranger had not truly lost his fighting ability.
Inside the ice pit, Tou Taijiro's twitching body stubbornly rose from the ice, his figure seemingly snatching a ray of life from the clutches of death. Though his physical strength was nearing its limit, his eyes still burned with an unyielding fighting spirit. Tou Taijiro's sinister grin challenged Ling Zhan.
"Is that so?" Ling Zhan replied in a low, calm voice. There was no tremor in his voice, only a determination to stand firm in the face of death. "Then let's see if you've got the skills!" Ling Zhan leaped into combat without hesitation. The muscles beneath his lightning armor tensed instantly, and a new fighting force surged through him.
Just as the two sides were about to engage in another fierce battle, suddenly, the clouds in the sky churned, and a powerful force made the air on the battlefield seem to solidify. This was the lightning power within Ling Zhan's body, accumulated to its limit during the game. At this moment, his supernatural power exploded, and his lightning armor began to emit an unprecedented bright brilliance.
The signs of instability in Ling Zhan's lightning armor seemed to disappear, replaced by an even more ferocious energy. His gaze was like lightning, and his blade pointed toward the heavens, seemingly echoing the lightning and thunder in the sky. He absorbed the power of the lightning in the sky into his body.
As Tou Taijiro looked at Ling Zhan before him, an unprecedented feeling welled up in his heart. It was a trembling feeling of death. Tou Taijiro roared to the heavens, gathering his last bit of strength, preparing to meet Ling Zhan's final blow.
Thunder and sword energy intertwined, and only two men remained on the battlefield. Ling Zhan used his supernatural powers to strengthen his offensive. This would be his final blow, and the most decisive blow of this battle.
