Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 841: You Lost
Previously on Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?...
It was evident that Su Luyao had mastered her main Battle Technique thoroughly; as soon as she attacked, she blocked every possible way out for Li Qingran.
The wind blades didn't just move quickly; they also bore turbulent air flows intended to throw off Li Qingran's starting actions and set up subsequent strikes.
Li Qingran kept her face calm, while the purple World Ring under her feet shone with increased intensity.
A profound and steady Battle Power accumulated over three thousand years began to awaken gradually, resembling a vast, dormant sea coming to life.
Finally, the feeling of True Qi coursing through every part of her body came back.
Grasping the Su Xian Sword more firmly, she twisted her wrist; the sword's edge reflected the Martial Platform's glow, releasing a silvery-white Sword Qi reminiscent of moonlight's grace.
“First Battle Technique, Long Wind Breaks Waves.”
As her serene voice echoed, the Sword Qi abruptly expanded.
Unlike Chen Huaian's wild Sword Aura, it possessed her distinctive icy edge and keen precision.
Stretching into a smooth white curve, the Sword Qi seemed leisurely but advanced at astonishing velocity, cutting directly into the thick barrage of Wind Wing Slash.
Upon contact with the Sword Qi, the cyan-gold wind blades vanished immediately, akin to snow under the blazing sun, dissolving and crumbling without any disturbance.
“What?!” Su Luyao's eyes narrowed sharply, a wave of fear rising in her heart for the very first time.
The overpowering strike wiped her thoughts clean; she failed to realize that Li Qingran had declared her opening Battle Technique.
However, Feng Wuyu and the nearby onlookers witnessed it clearly.
“First Battle Technique? Why the first Battle Technique? Didn’t Li Qingran unleash the third World Ring?” “Is she saying that on purpose… to unnerve Su Luyao?”
The rest of the students were unable to discern it properly.
Yet Feng Wuyu perceived the entire scene with perfect clarity.
Indeed, the technique Li Qingran employed was truly the inaugural Battle Technique.
This meant that her initial World Ring was that of the purple millennium variety.
Yet… how was that possible?
Had a World Beast voluntarily submitted?
Doubts filled Feng Wuyu's mind, yet he refrained from hasty actions.
Regardless, he planned to question Li Qingran and her teacher directly once the battle ended.
Back on the stage, Su Luyao denied the reality. “Second Soul Technique, Butterfly Shadow Clone!”
With a rush of Battle Power, three exact replicas of butterfly shadows emerged from Su Luyao's rear.
Boosted by thirty percent in velocity, clad in deceptive cyan-gold glow, they approached from three sides to surround her.
Mimicking the real one's motions perfectly, they focused wind elements, evidently aiming to interfere with Li Qingran's sword trajectory via anticipation.
Li Qingran stayed rooted; she angled the Su Xian Sword skyward, adjusting the Sword Qi accordingly, employing the same technique: “Long Wind Breaks Waves.”
In the path of the sword's gleam, the atmosphere appeared to solidify.
The concealed ice-spirit energy within the Sword Qi demolished the three clones into dispersing gusts before they could approach.
A massive impact hit Su Luyao's actual form; in alarm, she retreated half a step, agony flaring in her torso.
“Impossible! How can your Battle Technique be this strong? No… this isn’t the technique you used before!”
Color faded from Su Luyao's face; events had spiraled out of her grasp completely, cornering her with no good choices.
Still, she refused to yield.
“Third Soul Technique, Cyan-Gold Wind Vortex Barrier!”
The third purple World Ring blazed with radiant light.
The Wind Whisper Butterfly emitted a sharp cry while cyan-gold flows hastily gathered around Su Luyao, creating a rapidly rotating wind barrier five meters wide in front of her.
Within the swirl, numerous small wind blades crossed and clashed, releasing a fearsome suction force.
It was exactly a key Battle Technique crafted to neutralize swift motions and focused assaults.
Clenching her teeth, Su Luyao pondered: this vortex barrier can even nullify attacks from thousand-year Soul Beasts, I refuse to believe it can’t break your single strike!
Gazing at the cyan-gold wind vortex barrier, Li Qingran gently ran her finger down the sword's edge.
Intense frost fully integrated with the Battle Power of the three-thousand-year World Ring.
The Sword Qi ceased expanding externally and gathered fully on the Su Xian Sword's blade.
Sss—!
The Su Xian Sword quivered faintly, its edge gleaming with a frosty blue sheen, as though myriad ice crystals streamed across it.
“Long wind and waves will meet their time…” Li Qingran whispered, adjusting her posture.
A step that looked deliberate abruptly covered multiple meters; filled with peerless drive, the Su Xian Sword cleaved straight into the cyan-gold swirl.
“Hoist the cloud sails and cross the vast sea!”
Clang—! A deafening clash echoed through the air.
That single sword cleaved the swiftly spinning vortex apart.
The cyan-gold wind blades desperately clawed at the Sword Qi, yet failed to halt the sword's progression.
Su Luyao's eyes bulged in complete incredulity.
She sensed distinctly how her Battle Power was overwhelmed by the foe's Sword Qi, circulation blocked; the vortex spun slower and slower.
“No! This can’t be! How could my Cyan-Gold Wind Vortex Barrier be shattered?”
She pushed her Battle Power to erupt, attempting to bolster the vortex.
However, Li Qingran's sword form resembled an inexorable glacier, bearing force that could shatter worlds, demolishing the whole vortex.
Cyan-gold wind energies dispersed; suffering a severe hit, Su Luyao coughed up blood, her form hurled ahead without control.
Li Qingran's silhouette blurred, appearing instantly behind Su Luyao.
The Su Xian Sword's point gently touched the dip in Su Luyao's back; Sword Qi withdrew, imparting just a subtle coldness.
Su Luyao stiffened on the spot, her Battle Power chaotic, the World Ring's glow fading.
The Wind Whisper Butterfly sagged on her shoulder, its earlier arrogance vanished.
Her thoughts emptied; confidence, envy, and malice gave way to pure astonishment and bewilderment.
Every one of her Battle Techniques…
ranging from the elementary Wind Wing Slash, the interfering Butterfly Shadow Clone, to the essential Cyan-Gold Wind Vortex Barrier…
had been utterly broken by Li Qingran's sole “Long Wind Breaks Waves,” offering no resistance whatsoever.
With a swift and firm action, Li Qingran returned her sword to its sheath.
Her tranquil voice, akin to moonlight on water, softly declared: “You lost.”
