Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 539 - 298 Sword Master’s Challenge, Louis’s Invincible Path_2

Chapter 539: Chapter 298 Sword Master’s Challenge, Louis’s Invincible Path_2

——Now an unusual person has appeared.

In fact, he had suspected this earlier.

At the meeting, he could clearly sense the Knife Master’s fierce aura soaring into the sky.

Facing him was like seeing a bloodthirsty wild blade.

In his senses, that sharpness was so clear.

He originally thought it was a special effect that emerged as his strength increased.

But now it seems that this is probably an innate ability that comes after reaching an extraordinary level of mastery in martial arts.

He put his finger to his lips and said, "Shh, Knife Master, this matter is not yet suitable for widespread dissemination."

The Knife Master heard Louis admit this, and his eyes instantly brightened.

He nodded and said, "No problem, there’s no need to tell others about this, but I hope you can agree to a request."

Louis curiously looked at him and asked, "Can I ask what the request is?"

The Knife Master’s smile became even brighter: "I haven’t experienced the feeling of facing monsters at the peak of technique for a long time. If possible, I hope to have a duel with you."

Louis refused without hesitation: "Impossible, I don’t want to expose such a level of flaw in Tunisia."

The Knife Master chuckled lightly: "The Guardian Stone Family has already communicated with the Ense Empire, if I remember correctly, you are going to Lokeshi soon."

Louis understood his meaning and, after thinking for a moment, said, "If it’s in Lokeshi, that’s fine, but then I won’t fight you under the identity of a prince."

The Knife Master laughed: "Does the prince’s identity have any connection? For people like us, being able to engage with evenly matched opponents is what’s most important."

Louis shook his head and said, "I need to hide my identity to target certain people."

"Your habits are not very much like those of a Sword Saint."

"I indeed did not gain the powers of a Sword Saint through normal means."

Louis was very precise in his self-awareness.

He never considered himself a prodigious talent, in fact, not to mention the Kulin Sword Saint, even Teacher Jino had a better understanding of martial techniques than he did.

He characterized himself as an ordinary person.

Definitely not a fool, but far behind a true genius.

However, greed and a thirst for knowledge have forced others’ insights and methods into pieces, integrating them into his own body.

His technique limit was determined by his opponent’s limit.

Copy and paste, and piece together others’ skills, this is the essence of his vast techniques.

"What is this talk of not gaining Sword Saint powers through normal methods?" The Knife Master showed strange calm at Louis’s attitude, "No matter through what channel this power is acquired, a Sword Saint is a Sword Saint; the power won’t be negated due to differing acquisition methods."

He added, "You’re truly the strangest one among all the weapon masters I’ve seen."

"Normal people boast of mastering techniques surpassing others after much tempering, pride becomes a spiritual pillar in their martial arts, but you seem different."

Louis said faintly, "Things too easily obtained are not cherished. My attitude toward martial techniques will likely remain unchanged for a long time."

However, after hearing these words from Louis, the Knife Master laughed even more delightedly.

"I thought the same back then. Perhaps you’ll have another idea after dueling with me."

Louis frowned slightly but then said, "Purely in terms of power, I couldn’t possibly surpass you."

The Knife Master said, "Rest assured, I will suppress my strength to the same level as yours in our bout."

Louis nodded: "Alright, let’s make it a date."

He was actually curious about the Knife Master’s techniques, not knowing how they compared to the Kulin Sword Saint.

The Kulin Sword Saint’s seamless gale, which isn’t legendary yet forms its own realm, greatly shocked Louis.

That was one of the few powers he’s yet fully mastered.

... Well, using "not fully mastered" means he has grasped part of the essence.

Just say greed for knowledge is awesome.

However, any trace of his nonchalance was immediately perceived by the Knife Master.

He said oddly, "Let me give you a friendly reminder, I am different from Lord Kulin. Lord Kulin is formidable; back when I was at the exemplary level, I didn’t do as well as him."

"But ultimately the Kulin Sword Saint hasn’t reached the legendary realm to personally experience its transformations."

"Only by truly entering the legendary realm can one gain enough insight."

"And I have been in the legendary realm for decades."

"This difference is enough to create a gulf between him and me."

When he said this, his expression was so matter-of-fact, as if saying, "I have eaten, the meal is pork knuckles and intestines duo rice dish."

Louis was taken aback for a moment but finally nodded.

The Knife Master knew that Louis understood his meaning.

Though there was still some doubt in his heart.

For some reason, he always felt that this prince of Ense seemed to harbor a certain nonchalance.

But already having reached this point, he wouldn’t say anything further.

When they meet again, they’ll see the skills beneath their hands.

He just didn’t know that Louis was thinking about another issue.

Indeed, from a pure technical standpoint, he indeed might not be able to surpass this Knife Master who has resounded across the continent for years.

But if the Knife Master controls his power to an exemplary level and fights him...

Purely in terms of destructive power, he could guarantee the one dying would be the Knife Master.

Because Louis knew very well, though his numerous techniques have already exceeded those of average people, even surpassing his teacher Jino, he couldn’t beat a copy of himself based solely on martial techniques.

The reason is straightforward... he can be certain he wouldn’t withstand the Curse Binding Legion’s mobbing.

Moreover, even excluding the Curse Binding Legion, purely speaking of martial techniques, he still wouldn’t beat himself.

Because he also possesses the [Nuclear Explosion Technique] enhanced by both Lust and Sloth.

The synergy from the two combined authorities is extremely outrageous.

The same dual-authority-enhanced power, the Curse Binding Legion is an example.

It can be said that if not sealed, either the Curse Binding Legion or the Nuclear Explosion Technique, in terms of sheer destructive power in the same rank, any Sword Saint or Knife Master would be killed.

So the question arises...

The nine-sword profession’s characteristic lies in its ability to release magic in weapon form.

Known [My Wrath is Gathered Stars] can draw half the power of the Rage Legion and condense it into one strike.

Known [Nuclear Explosion Technique] can exert power to deter demigod lives.

Known [Bloodstorm Blade] could create a death storm when thrown.

Known [Time Stop] + [Isle of Time] enables one to slash people during time stop.

Known [Goddess of Fortune’s Favor] lets him augment power and armor damage by consuming gold coins.

Known nine-sword profession’s characteristic allows casting magic through martial techniques, while Bloodstorm Blade’s martial techniques can directly attach techniques.

Answer: Even Louis doesn’t know what result he’ll achieve doing this, just knowing any legend contacting this would surely perish, including the Knife Master at his peak.

But he also knows very well, such a battle involving stacking multiple powers together has only one chance.

Considering preparation time, time stop and Isle of Time must be initiated simultaneously, equipped with ultra-high-grade potions to quickly restore magic power, and weapons that can carry this might.

Otherwise, his primary worry would be the power backfiring on himself.

Excessive intensity of power, for a professional, means would be the disintegration.

Fortunately, he’s aware, even enduring this power wouldn’t matter.

Because he reached Jade Phoenix Mage level 10.

Even if backfired and died on the spot, Jade Phoenix Mage’s level 10 skill [Emerald Sacrifice] will resurrect him in full bloom.

Theoretically, if he goes mad, he could strike with this excessive killing blow twice.

So the fact is, despite being exemplary level currently, in conventional status, including physique, any value has reached legendary.

Simultaneously, he possesses power capable of dragging most demigod-levels underwater.

This includes even possible demigod-level Sword Saints or Knife Masters.

He even wanted to jump up and say:

"Old Deng stand up! Nobody here can take a hit!"
