Even she was wary of the Sword Demon's strength. Even if she couldn't defeat Yi Shuihan, she could at least force out many of Yi Shuihan's trump cards!
Soon, the warship came to a stop. Most of the people on board were on the deck, excitedly watching Yi Shuihan and Jianmo appear on the island.
Do you know why we stopped here?
"It is said that General Yi Shuihan and that guy called Sword Demon are going to fight."
"Indeed, such a battle is rare. Yi Shuihan is already a definite naval admiral, and the Sword Demon is not weak either. Both of them are top-level experts, beings we can only look up to. It is extremely fortunate to be able to see their battle."
Kuzan looked at the two people on the island with a serious expression. In fact, he did not want to see the two fight. If something happened, he would not be able to stop it. After all, the strength of the two was no less than his. But he also knew that he could not stop this battle.
Meanwhile, the succubus was much more relaxed next to Kuzan, looking on with amusement.
"Who do you think will win?" The succubus asked Kuzan with interest as she parted her red lips.
Without turning his head, Kuzan replied, "Yi Shuihan has a better chance of winning."
“Oh? I think the Sword Demon might be more powerful!” the succubus retorted sharply.
“The Sword Demon is indeed not weak, and I might not even be his match, but as for Yi Shuihan, I have never been able to see through his strength.” After Kuzan finished speaking, he ignored the Succubus.
The succubus seemed thoughtful after hearing Kuzan's words; she herself had a vague understanding of Yi Shuihan.
On the island, the battle between the Sword Demon and Yi Shuihan has begun.
The Sword Demon wields a long sword with an extremely long attack range. Although generally speaking, the longer the sword, the less agile and harder to control it becomes, this is not apparent in the Sword Demon's hands.
The two-meter-long sword was wielded effortlessly by the Sword Demon, as if it were an extension of his own body, leaving no openings.
Chapter 128, A Better View
Yi Shuihan held a wooden sword and fought back and forth with the Sword Demon. Although his attack range was not as good as the Sword Demon's, it was impossible for the Sword Demon to gain the upper hand.
An inch longer means an inch stronger, an inch shorter means an inch more dangerous. Length has its advantages, and shortness has its own merits.
Weapons are just weapons; the real determinant of victory or defeat is the user.
Both of them turned into afterimages, and the sounds of collisions continued to ring out. The two of them controlled their power very precisely, without any leakage of power. Therefore, the damage caused by the battle was not very large. Compared to the damage caused by generals, which at best shattered a building and at worst destroyed a small island, the scale of the battle was much smaller.
Perhaps it was also because the two of them deliberately suppressed their strength; otherwise, this small island really wouldn't have been able to withstand a battle between them.
To the uninformed, their battles might seem like just a matter of speed, with power even less than cannons. But those who are actually in the thick of it will understand that the power of each sword strike, even a fraction of it, is enough to cleave a warship in two.
This time, Yi Shuihan did not use Instant Flash to increase his speed or suppress others with speed, so in terms of pure speed, he might be a little slower.
With the added power of his fully realized natural domineering aura, his speed was even faster than the Sword Demon's, and his strength was not inferior.
The two are evenly matched, and it will be very difficult to determine a winner without the use of any ultimate techniques.
"The Sword Demon is stronger than when he fought me last time. Perhaps this is his true strength." Kuzan was amazed by the Sword Demon's strength, but he paid more attention to Yi Shuihan, who was able to fight the Sword Demon to such an extent. He knew that Yi Shuihan was not using his full strength at this moment.
As the succubus watched the two fight, a strange light flashed in her eyes. Her soft, nimble tongue traced across her red lips, making her look incredibly alluring. If Yi Shuihan had seen this, he would have exclaimed in his heart, "What a monster! This is the real succubus!"
"Wow, amazing! Both sides are amazing. I don't know exactly what makes them amazing, but they are just amazing."
"Why does watching this kind of battle make my blood boil?"
"If you really join in, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to last even one move, would you?"
"I am a full move, then you are half a move."
"You are one-quarter"
"One-eighth of you"
"you……"
The Sword Demon held his longsword at an angle, with the tip directly touching the ground, making a strange dragging motion.
"Why does this remind me of Guan Yu dragging his sword?" This thought flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind for a moment, and then he threw himself back into the battle.
This stance clearly indicates that she's about to unleash a powerful skill! I wonder what it will be?
Just as Yi Shuihan was pondering the meaning behind the Sword Demon's actions, the Sword Demon made his next move.
A sword strike as fast as lightning came straight at him, yet Yi Shuihan could still see the trajectory of the sword.
Found it! Seizing the opportunity, Yi Shuihan swung his sword backhand, intending to interrupt its attack.
"what?"
Just then, a strong sense of crisis enveloped Yi Shuihan, and his body instinctively leaned back slightly.
"puff"
My shirt was ripped open with a ten-centimeter gash, and I almost bled.
What just happened? The sword suddenly disappeared. Did it suddenly increase in speed?
"Did you dodge it? Phantom Sword." The Sword Demon was also surprised. Phantom Sword was one of his signature moves, and he had used it to kill many opponents in the past.
The Phantom Sword is not only much faster than usual, but what makes it most troublesome is that the enemy only sees a phantom of the sword. The real sword can strike when the enemy makes a move. Just now, the Sword Demon saw Yi Shuihan's reaction and dispelled the phantom in that instant, almost seriously injuring Yi Shuihan.
As a swordsman, attack power is his strength. Although Yi Shuihan has strong defense, without his burst aura, relying solely on his domineering aura will definitely put him at a disadvantage. It's impossible for him to be severely injured to the point of losing his fighting ability, but it will at least have a significant impact.
"Try that sword strike again."
"as you wish."
He struck the same pose again, this time with all his might, his domineering aura pushed to its limit. Unlike before, this time he clearly grasped the insidious crisis, and the source of the crisis was indeed the longsword in the Sword Demon's hand.
Yi Shuihan clearly felt the sense of crisis growing stronger and stronger, and then it completely erupted at a certain moment.
"coming."
The longsword was still incredibly fast, but Yi Shuihan's appearance was much clearer than before.
His pupils shrank smaller and smaller, and the sword became clearer and clearer. If someone were to look into Yi Shuihan's eyes, they would see that his pain had become almost as small as a dot.
"I saw it."
"How could that be? It's clearly a real sword."
Another gap appeared in Yi Shuihan's breasts, and a red mark was clearly visible.
"Did you really see it?" The Sword Demon's words were calm, and his eyes remained unchanged.
"Of course...I..." No, did I really see it?
I made another mistake. Can't the sword shadow still be a sword shadow?
Isn't there a better way to see than with your eyes?
Observation Haki! This powerful aura, which shone brightly in the original work, came to mind—the ability to predict the opponent's movements.
Yi Shuihan's natural Haki has always leaned towards Armament Haki, and it also has the function of Conqueror's Haki, but he has never used the Observation Haki characteristic.
"Perhaps this is the key to the picture." A flash of inspiration struck Yi Shuihan, and he seemed to have grasped something.
Phantom Sword, it's still Phantom Sword, the Sword Demon used it again without hesitation.
Compared to the previous two times, this Phantom Sword is faster and stronger.
"clang"
Feeling the vibration from the arm, Yi Shuihan smiled. "Don't underestimate me! Using the same trick again and again, do you think I'll fall for it again?"
You make it sound so easy, but if other people knew, they'd definitely curse you out. Damn it, do you think it's easy for others to learn a skill? It takes at least several months, or even years, to master it, and then it's useless after a few uses with you? What's the point of learning a skill then?!
Of course, the Sword Demon was no ordinary person, and his reaction was different. An ordinary person would definitely be extremely ashamed and angry at this moment, but his expression was extremely excited, as if his G-spot had been hit.
Chapter 129, Domineering Perfection
The Sword Demon's gaze gave Yi Shuihan goosebumps; it was just too... well, it made one suspect that he had that kind of inclination!
However, Yi Shuihan quickly lost track of what was happening, as the Sword Demon attacked again.
Wisps of sword energy swirled around the longsword, radiating a power nearly twice as strong as before, making it seem like a completely different person, as if it had taken stimulants.
"Is this the first time they're really going to fight?" Yi Shuihan wasn't surprised. If the Sword Demon's strength was only what he had shown before, then he wouldn't be the Sword Demon.
Its speed surpassed that of a general, its strength also surpassed that of a general, and its momentum was overwhelming.
That's good, that's right! I can feel my body boiling, and the bottleneck has already cracked. As long as I improve my Observation Haki a bit, my Haki will be perfected.
Yi Shuihan, preoccupied with his own agenda, did not unleash his explosive power or use his instant teleportation. Instead, he relied on his domineering aura to barely withstand the sword demon's furious onslaught, and for a time, he found himself at a disadvantage.
"What is he thinking?" Kuzan looked at Yi Shuihan, who was clearly at a disadvantage but still had a smile on his face. He could easily turn the tide of the battle if he used that speed-enhancing move.
"What a terrifying guy. Although I don't know what he's up to, he's getting more and more dangerous to me." The succubus was filled with doubt and unease. Even though the sword demon was clearly gaining the upper hand in the battle, she felt that Yi Shuihan was even more frightening.
"That Sword Demon is actually overwhelming General Yi Shuihan! And that's a general!"
"Does this mean that General Yi Shuihan is about to be defeated?"
"Shut up and look carefully."
The sword demon's eyes grew increasingly frenzied, reflecting the image of a sword. This sword image became more and more solid, as if it were real, and seemed about to burst forth.
As the battle progressed, both sides' control weakened, and the aftershocks, though occasionally leaked, unleashed astonishing power.
After a wisp of sword energy detached from the two, it transformed into a hundred-meter-long sword energy, cleaving the surrounding forest in half. The tremor that spread outwards caused the earth to crack open, and the small island let out a mournful cry, as if it were struggling to die.
A sword so powerful, so incredibly powerful, that it could split the heavens and the earth, cutting through everything that stood in its way.
His hands were gradually losing sensation, his muscles were trembling, and he could barely hold onto the sword, but Yi Shuihan's eyes were exceptionally bright.
Soon, soon.
At one moment, the sword flew from his hand, and the madness in the sword demon's eyes began to fade, because he felt that he had won. However, the next moment, the sword shadow in his eyes condensed again.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Although it's a little late, I think it's not too late now." The moment the sword left his hand, his natural domineering aura silently completed its transformation and reached a state of perfection.
The enormous gap between perfection and mastery caused Yi Shuihan's aura to surge instantly, surpassing that of the Sword Demon.
It was this momentum that reignited the Sword Demon's fighting spirit. He thought the battle was over once he lost his sword, but he never expected that Yi Shuihan would become even stronger without it.
Was I just pretending all this time? No, that feeling... I see.
"You've broken through?" The tone was exceptionally certain.
"Not bad, I should thank you. As a token of my gratitude, I'll show you this power." As he spoke, a burst of white light emanated from Yi Shuihan's body, completely enveloping him. It looked just like a ki explosion from the Dragon Ball world, which was quite intimidating.
"If I dye my hair and turn this white into gold, I can pretend to be a Saiyan." Seeing the surprise in the Sword Demon's eyes, Yi Shuihan was also very proud.
"That was... that state, and that oppressive feeling." Just looking at Yi Shuihan, Kuzan felt a shiver run down his spine, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Apart from the succubus and Kuzan, who can maintain a normal gaze towards Yi Shuihan, everyone else feels physically uncomfortable whenever they look at Yi Shuihan, and only feels better when they look away.
"Hurry up, this battlefield won't last much longer." Yi Shuihan wasn't joking. Under his perfect natural domineering aura, the small island beneath his feet slowly sank, as if it were bearing something unbearable.
The perfect, natural domineering aura produced a characteristic that had never appeared before, which was truly beyond Yi Shuihan's expectations.
However, he doesn't plan to experience this characteristic in detail now, since he still has an opponent and time is running out.
"coming."
With a sudden kick, Yi Shuihan appeared in front of the Sword Demon, his fist striking out at him. The Sword Demon only had time to raise his sword to block.
The sword was aimed at Yi Shuihan, but it couldn't stop Yi Shuihan's attack. His fist went straight up to meet the sword.
The Sword Demon's sword was no ordinary sword; it was one of the world's most powerful swords. Although its name was unknown, Yi Shuihan guessed that it must be some kind of supreme great sword. If it were an ordinary sword, even an ordinary person could cut through it.
Even someone with a basic understanding of swordsmanship can unleash the attack power of a swordsman, albeit only the most basic attacks.
Even Garp wouldn't confront this blade head-on with his fists, as that would definitely be the one to suffer. But Yi Shuihan dared to.
With the support of perfect natural domineering aura, Yi Shuihan's fist struck the sword blade, but the blade did not cause any damage to his fist, and did not even pierce the white protective shield.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
Each punch landed on the same spot, the powerful force causing the Sword Demon to be constantly pushed back. Even so, the Sword Demon's feet remained firmly planted on the ground, but a long scratch mark appeared under his feet, stretching for a hundred meters.
Yi Shuihan's attacks were extremely ferocious. The Sword Demon could only maintain one posture and had no time to make any other reactions. He was completely at Yi Shuihan's mercy and had no power to fight back.
A bitter smile appeared on the Sword Demon's lips. This was not the kind of battle he wanted. This could not even be called a battle. It was just Yi Shuihan venting his anger.
But with such a huge difference in strength, what could he do? He could only silently endure it until Yi Shuihan stopped.
Chapter 130, Self-Awareness in the Face of the Strong
"Shall we continue?" As he relaxed his muscles, Yi Shuihan felt his whole body brimming with power.
At this moment, the Sword Demon's eyes were glazed over, and his hand gripping the sword was bleeding; he looked to be in very bad shape.
This is understandable. After being unilaterally beaten by Yi Shuihan for 10 minutes, it is already a testament to the Sword Demon's strength that he is still alive. Although none of the blows directly hit him, the vibrations transmitted through the swords were enough to kill an ordinary person hundreds of times over.
Sword Demon never imagined he would have such a day. In the past, even when he encountered strong enemies, he still had a chance to fight back. But just now, he was thinking about fighting back, but his body simply wouldn't obey him. That feeling of being unable to control his body was terrifying, as if his body was already dead.
