Chapter 664 Just a Little Forward

The white light covered the entire sword as specks of light also flickered out of it like embers from a fireplace.

After 2 entire years of wanting to do it. After getting on the edge of it and being stuck, Alex had finally managed to complete it.

His own Sword Qi.

Even as he sent out a slash with his full force behind the attack, he knew for a fact that this would be the last time he saw the barrier.

When the Sword slash filled with Sword Qi struck the crimson barrier, the barrier shuddered and threatened to break.

The girl felt scared when she saw that, but a split second later her heart calmed down when she saw the barrier didn\'t break.

However, she then noticed the white slash that still hadn\'t disappeared.

Alex understood it himself. Unless his Sword Qi was destroyed, it was now a Sword Qi that kept moving forward and didn\'t stop at all.

So, even when it didn\'t break the barrier, it kept pushing on it with all of its force.

Then, a second later, there was finally a crack in the barrier.

Then, another second later, the barrier shattered into a million pieces that drifted into the wind like crimson powder that soon disappeared.

Then, the remaining power in the slash moved forward to hit one of the formation flags, and finally, the formation disappeared.

Finally, Alex felt his mind clear up like never before. The sleepiness and the grogginess disappeared just like the suppression on it.

Then he looked at the woman with pure hatred in his eyes.

"You are dead," he said and dashed forward towards her.

The girl used both Spiritual as well as physical attacks but not a single one of them stopped Alex\'s advancements.

While she was a step higher than him in what she could bring out from her attacks, her attacks never really were about doing physical damage.

They were always about doing mental damage.

She had ways to even beat someone who used artifacts to block mental attacks. All she would have to do was keep them busy until she was able to rip out their artifacts.

However, against someone who had none, she was helpless.

All she could do was fight back and hope she won against him.

However, it very soon became apparent just how stupid her idea was. If it was Alex from before, she could have somehow held him back, or even win against him.

However, now that he had found the inspiration for his sword Qi, she was useless.

Even if he had just learned Sword Qi, he was already sending out attacks that were in the True King realm.

Her defense couldn\'t stop her from more than a few True King realm attacks.

So, very soon, she found herself on the verge of death.

However, she wasn\'t worried about death. None of them were. All she was worried about was not being able to beat Alex and steal what made him so great.

She was worried that the treasure she tried so hard to find would be lost to her if she couldn\'t beat him anymore.

So, she kept fighting back, hoping he would slip, hoping he would make some mistake.

But Alex did none of those. Each one of his attacks was made to kill. If not for the girl\'s defensive armor, she would\'ve died by now.

However, she couldn\'t hold on for long. Even an armor as strong could only block as long as it had Qi in it.

Naturally, an armor would siphon Qi from her slowly to continue working. But if she drained it too fast, she wouldn\'t be able to keep up with the replenishment for the armor.

Once it stopped working, she would have a hard time putting in Qi to make it work again.

And that time was coming closer and closer.

The violent slashes landed all over her body, each with the power to cleave her in half like she were a butter to his hot knife. But the armor kept on protecting her.

Until… it didn\'t.

Alex heard a crack in the armor, and suddenly, it stopped working. Now, all it could do was work as normal metal armor.

That did as good as being naked in front of his sword.

The girl\'s eyes went wide as she realized what was about to happen. She was going to lose to a kid. Not only did she lose to Fu Tao, but now she was going to lose to a kid that had barely entered into the True Lord realm.

Rage filled her eyes even as the white sword came next to her, and then…

BANG~

A barrier appeared around her to protect her from the deadly attack.

The girl was already getting wrapped in the silver-white light as she was being teleported away.

Alex felt the rebound and his sword came back to him. Once it stopped, he gripped it harder and slashed it back at her neck. Or, where he thought it would be in the light that already covered her.

His eyes were fueled with rage now. This girl had just come here and tried to kill him, and now she was leaving just like that?

Alex had already let 3 different people that tried to kill him get away all because they were being protected.

\'No!\' he thought. \'Not this time.\'

However, even as his sword arrived next to her next, he could tell that there was some distance between him, and the girl was already being teleported away.

She had begun moving and would soon be out of here.

\'No! A little more,\' he thought to himself. \'Just a bit forward.\'

"Move forward!" he shouted at his own sword and his own self.

Then, as if responding to his cries, his sword increased its length a bit.

No, that was wrong. The sword\'s length was the same as before.

Alex had moved forward a bit.

No, that was wrong as well. Alex was right where he stood from the beginning.

Then had the girl moved closer to him?

Alex didn\'t understand, and for now, he didn\'t care. His wish had been heard and the girl\'s neck was on his blade.

SLASH~

The white light disappeared, and the girl vanished.

Alex gathered himself as he looked at the empty space in front of him. Then, he looked at the sword in his hand.

There was not a speck of blood on it. There never was.

He didn\'t need the blood to tell him that he had been successful in cutting her head off. He was confident he had.

Only… he didn\'t understand how.

* * * * * *

The Saint realm experts were on the outside, calmly meditating in the open space.

There were still 3 more days to go until the realm closed, so they weren\'t in any hurry.

Just then, two silver lights flashed not far away from them and immediately spiritual sense moved to see who it was.

"Two lights at the same time, what a coincidence," someone said.

"Those kids must have fought each other and managed to land a strong hit on each other," another saint realm expert said

"Or maybe it really is just a coincidence," another elder said.

They expected one of their disciples to come out of the silvery-white light, so all of them looked with interest.

Then, the two lights disappeared at once.

On one side fell a headless corpse of a woman wearing crimson robes. On the other side fell the head of the corpse of the woman who one of the elders recognized.

"Xiran!" the crimson-robed elder shouted and went up to her. However, he was too late. The girl was dead.

"Who killed our disciple!" the old man shouted with rage and the island shuddered.

Shen Jing\'s eyes opened at the commotion as even he was surprised.

\'How was a corpse teleported after the person was killed?\' he wondered. His first thought was someone used a teleportation talisman to send the body and head separately, but that didn\'t make sense.

The girl herself should have had a protective talisman on her.

He checked her wound and suddenly something caught his eyes. Those cuts…

\'How?\' his eyes went wide in horror. \'How is someone able to do this?\'

He couldn\'t imagine how there could even exist a True realm cultivator in this continent, nay, in this entire world that could possibly do such a thing.

If that person was to grow and learn more… even Shen Jing started to fear a little for the future of these lands.
