Swish!
It was the swiftest glaive stab Aeryon has mustered. It is like a sword coming out of its sheath.
The glaive heaviness pressure the surrounding and in that mont the energy of heaven and earth around Aeryon surges
It was like sothing broke in Aeryon.
A limit has been exceeded and broken.
Aeryon ntality shifted at that ti, and that overlord aura he uses to wins the admiration of his n seems to rge with the spear
This is the Overlord Aura.
When my army rides out, none dare disobey! When my weapons sweep forward, all would be cut!
All over the world, heads would be bowed, and knees would be bent!
His own path!
The light is blinding; the heaviness is suffocating!
The two weapons clashed. Almost like a clash of belief
Two extre contradictions. One pursues the ultimate of killing, one pursues the ultimate of conquerors.
One kills individual, another kills nations.
CLANG!
The two weapons clashed, sparks of fire clash and illuminate the two.
The sharpness is dulled by the heaviness; the killing intent was split by that belief. How could one man belief rivals the belief of tens of thousands of people!
The Overlord Aura that Aeryon accidentally cultivated suddenly broke out and shows its power.
They clashed, and the area where they clashed seems to beco a void in an instant.
For a mont, the space where these two weapons clashes turn into a void
But it was so brief that if you blink, you will miss it.
The tips collided, the edges slash each other and created such a powerful shockwave that the grass around these two people sways wildly and many of the grass is plucked out from the ground
The ground itself seems unable to withstand the energy that is exerted upon it and the ground cracked into weblike cracks
And both of them did one thing at the sa ti.
Zarkha felt the heaviness of that glaive. It was like a mountain is bearing down on him. And in that mont, he frowns but there is a smile on his face
And he kicks the air and he flew backward like he is a kite on a string being pulled back by so force.
Aeryon on the other hand also felt that sharpness, that killing intent that would make any lesser warriors to faint.
And just like Zarkha, he kicks the air and just like Zarkha flew backward.
Both of them landed on the ground at the sa ti a few ters away from each other, their eyes do not leave each other
Aeryon landed like he is a stone descended from the sky and the ground beneath his feet sank one foot deep.
A radius of one ter around him sank down, weblike cracks forms, and the dust rises like sothing heavy descended from the heaven and smack the ground.
He stands there, pointing his glaive forward and he was as sturdy as a mountain, his eyes looking at Zarkha like it could kill
What about Zarkha?
Zarka was on the other side, and he landed on the ground.
But before he could stabilize himself, his feet like it is being pushed by so kind of invisible force, his feet were pushed and he was dragged backward, his feet dragged the ground one ter away
The heaviness of that force from that glaive could not easily be neutralized and it follows him and only after he was dragged backward by that force, that force dissipates
There is still a smile on his face, but his hand is shaking
In that brief attack, Zarkha had his hand bones broken.
Mini fractures.
He also felt a stuffiness on his chest area, and he could feel that this spear of his, if not for the injection of the aura of heaven and earth would have already broke into three pieces
What about Aeryon?
No one could see that there is nothing wrong with Aeryon. Even more so from this distance.
But Aeryon act of putting his glaive forward and shows no ease, ans sothing must have happened.
And then so people could see it. Slowly.... a line suddenly appears on the Khan cheek.
And from this line, blood slowly flows downward from that line.
And then it dripped
Aeryon did not feel it at first. But when he does feel it, he controls his face. He did not wince. It is like nothing had happened.
The guards that watch this wanted to rush toward the Khan, but their superior forbade it
But even the superior look pale.
There is a line of blood on the Khan face.
The Khan was hurt
The Khan was cut
In that mont, everyone understood what happen
In that clash before, Zarkha managed to cut the Khan cheek. Only after Aeryon is away, the line finally manifest itself.
There is so kind of magic in this scene
It looks like it delays itself. The cut was clean and sharp. So sharp that it almost felt like there was nothing wrong
So of the experienced soldier saw this and could not help but feel cold in their soul.
This kind of thod is terrifying. Normal people fighting Zarkha would have no chance of living
There is also a great chance that if Zarkha cut off your head, you would not notice it for a few second before suddenly feeling your head slides down from your neck
That is how sharp his attack was.
How could the guards not feel terrified? They are a disciplined army, but they are not stupid army
If this was in the past, so of them would already beco unstable and wanted to retreat.
But Aeryon effort shows itself right now. Even though they were afraid, they hold on and so of the officers even beco even more resolute.
As for the Khan.... now there is a scar on the Khan face. And that scar is widening and lengthening.
Blood drips from Aeryon cheek
Aeryon himself is shocked. His recovery speed is actually very fast. That is how he always managed to return ho without much injury
Not that he did not have injuries, it is more like his injuries healed by the ti he got ho
This ti, however, is different. His body wanted to heal that cut on the cheek but it could not.
Like an itch that could not be wished away, Aeryon thought to himself. A sharpness that corrodes life force
This is the best way Aeryon could describe it
"What a fast spear!" Aeryon thought
"What a heavy attack!" Zarkha thought to himself.
These two look at each other from a distance, their eyes look at each other like there is no one else in the world
And it is truly like that for both of them. Right now, their senses are heightened to the point that everything look slow in their eyes
But other things, like colours, like the people, the other stuff all falls away, like it did not exist.
It was like they were the only two people in an expanse of white canvass, looking at each other and even seeing each other breath
It is like soone who narrowed down their eyes. When such thing happens, your views narrows, but it also focusses.
Unless soone suddenly makes a move, then these two would not notice others
Kashoger judgnt was correct
If he had ordered the arches to loose their arrows, this battle would end.
But it would also break the concentration that Aeryon had achieved and it would not just be a cut on his cheek.
Kashoger might not have experience things like Aeryon did, but he knows common sense of this world
In this world, when a master t another master, any external interference could be bad especially when they are hyper focused like this
Because it could take away their concentration
Of course, so supre master has transcended this problem.
But for Aeryon he is clearly not a supre master.
As a leader, as a chief, as a ruler, he was the best in the Southern Great Steppe has ever seen.
As a warrior, he was exceptional.
But those who reach the realm of supre master is a master of the art of fighting and transcended many limitations of the body.
They have trained their whole lives and learn the discipline all of their lives.
And such supre master has not been seen for thousands of years.
Aeryon himself did not aspire to beco a supre master.
Kashoger on the hill looking at this could not help but feel his heart pounding so hard it felt like it is going to jump out from his chest
"The Khan is really betting on his life" he said it with a wistful expression
Everyone except the Khan felt their heart lurched and filled with panic the mont they saw the Khan bleeds
The guard leaders who are primarily of Brolgadhr tribe almost felt their heart fall down and they feel worried.
Aeryon is not just their chief; he is their relative. Either by marriage or by clan blood, they felt worried.
For the others, they fear punishnt.
