Chapter 1353
Simon deftly dodged Thea’s attack and reappeared in the distance.
He wore a solemn expression as he continued to channel more energy into his sword technique.
The Frost Sword hovered in front of him, and the tip of its de pointed toward Thea. It spun in the air
as if it were a drill.
As it rotated, the surrounding air was drawn in and coalesced to form sharp shards of ice. The shards
rapidly gathered and formed Ice Swords.
Soon, hundreds of Ice Swords levitated in the air in front of Simon.
“Attack.”
Simon flicked his wrist.
The hundreds of Ice Swords all rushed towards Thea with their sharp, glistening des.
“Shatter.”
Thea’s deep voice resonated in the air.
The Malevolent Sword swayed in the air, and several Sword Lights formed immediately, slicing the Ice
Swords into pieces.
Seizing the opening, Simon gripped his Frost Sword again and charged toward Thea with great speed.
The Frost Sword was poised to strike at her vitals.
Thea quickly raised her sword to defend herself against the attack.
A loud, sonorous ng rang through the mountains.
The two unstoppable and mighty forces collided with each other and the impact resulted in a massive
explosion.
Boom!
The two were pushed backward.
Thea’s arm went numb from the recoil, and she almost lost her grip on the Malevolent Sword. The
aggressive force spread through the sword and dispersed through her whole body. Her Blood Energy
surged and roiled, and she felt a warmth rising up through her throat. The next moment, blood spilled
out of Thea’s mouth.
Simon was also greatly affected by the blow.
He could sense that Thea’s energy was powerful but bizarre.
Simon had absorbed the Spirit Turtle’s core and reached the peak of the eighth rank, climbing to the
second stair of the Skyward Stairway. Although he was not invincible, there were very few that could
match his strength.
“What horrifying power!”
Thea retreated a few thousand meters, and the energy that hade from Simon’s sword finally
dissipated.
Her face beneath the mask had turned pale.
Thea had a vague grasp of Simon’s strength.
Simon too was roughly able to understand the extent of his opponent’s strength.
He had mistaken Thea for Thomas but rushed into battle fearlessly as he had already refined the Spirit
Turtle’s core. Afterward, his strength had increased considerably and he had already reached the
second stairs of the Skyward Stairway. This gave him the impression that he could defeat Thomas.
However, from their exchange of blows, he concluded that Thomas’ strength was not inferior to his.
“I had just reached the second stair, and my True Energy is still unstable. Thomas has the Malevolent
Sword, and its strength alone is terrifying. His strength was much more significant with the sword in
hand. Although I have our sect’s mighty sword, the Frost Sword, I’m clearly outmatched by him. Even if
by some miracle I defeat him, I’ll be severely injured in the process. I should leave right now and wait
for my True Energy to stabilize. Then, I’lle up with a way to snatch the Malevolent Sword from
him.”
It was their first time fighting against each other, and Simon had experienced his opponent’s insane
strength for himself.
While he was ruminating on the battle, Thea took the chance to make another attack.
Spurred on by the Spirit Turtle’s blood, Thea’s killing intent only grew more intense.
She had concluded that it was necessary to kill Simon. Otherwise, her identity would be exposed
sooner orter.
Thea’s body shed in the sky, and she shed the Malevolent Sword at Simon.
Afterward, she quickly dashed to another position and swung her sword again.
Countless afterimages shed across the sky.
Simon was forced to take defensive action.
He kept a tight grip on the Frost Sword and blocked the attacks.
Whoosh!
Thea appeared in front of Simon again and thrust the Malevolent Sword at him.
Simon raised his sword to block.
The Malevolent Sword struck toward the Frost Sword with unmatched strength.
The Frost Sword was instantly shattered into two pieces.
When this happened, Simon thrust his palm at Thea’s chest and fled without his sword.
Although his figure was nowhere to be seen after that, his voice resounded throughout the mountain
range.
“Thomas, this is not over. We shall continue where we left off in the future.”
The voice became softer and gradually quieted altogether.
After being struck in the chest, Thea’s body flew backward for a thousand meters before finallying
to a stop.
