But after the initial disappointment, Liu Tianyu's expression turned somewhat amused. It turned out that Kreeher's broken arm was her right arm, and now her left arm had been severely injured by him. Could this be considered a balance?
"Well!"
"Clang!"
Faced with Liu Tianyu's sarcastic remarks, Kresh tried her best to use her left hand, but unfortunately, this was not something that could be done with willpower alone.
The unstoppable flow of blood, like a fountain, combined with the gaping wound that almost exposed bone, rendered her left hand useless. Even the sword she had been holding onto fell limply to the ground.
“I have faced far more critical situations than this. A mere injury to my left hand is nothing to worry about. Continue, Lord Storm Marquis!”
Kreeher's exquisite face was nothing but cold indifference.
Just as she finished speaking, her shapely figure appeared behind Liu Tianyu.
The purple longsword in his right hand drew a crescent arc and slashed straight at Liu Tianyu's back, aiming to use the opponent's own methods against him.
"Qiang!"
Kreeher was fast, but Liu Tianyu was even faster.
Moreover, as if it had seen through Kreeher's movements, the Ganjiang sword barely managed to block the purple longsword when it was only 3 centimeters away from Liu Tianyu's back and was about to touch Liu Tianyu's cloak.
"The speed is good enough, but the accuracy seems a bit off!"
After Liu Tianyu finished speaking, he threw a punch at Kreeher's exposed abdomen, showing no mercy whatsoever.
"Goo!"
Even with the protection of her breastplate, the force of that punch was like a speeding tank crashing into her. After a churning in her stomach, Kresh was slammed into an old building.
"Boom!"
The old building collapsed with a roar, turning into ruins and kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
"This this?"
As the only spectator around, Kyar was stunned to see that Liu Tianyu and Kreh's fight had become so intense in just a few rounds.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
But as the saying goes, there's a law that says "smoke doesn't hurt."
Before the dust had even settled, a figure burst through the dust and charged toward Liu Tianyu. No, it wasn't just one figure, but five figures from five different directions!
"An afterimage? Too bad, that won't work!"
Liu Tianyu gripped the Ganjiang sword tightly with both hands, using offense as defense; the way he swung the Ganjiang sword seemed to produce a mosaic effect.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
Two seconds, just two seconds! Yet the sounds of weapons clashing rang out no less than a thousand times, and the flying sparks were almost turning into solid flames.
"Tap Tap!"
Seeing that the surprise attack had failed again, Kreh retreated rapidly, forcibly widening the distance between herself and Liu Tianyu.
"You can observe my movements?"
Kreh's usually impassive expression finally showed a slight change.
"Da da da!"
There was no answer, or rather, an answer has already been given!
Liu Tianyu charged forward and suddenly appeared in front of Kreeher, gripping the Ganjiang sword tightly with both hands and thrusting it towards Kreeher with unstoppable momentum.
There's no way to avoid it!
As Liu Tianyu charged toward him like a dragon chariot, the thought flashed through the mind of the battle-hardened Kreeher.
Since there's no way to avoid it, let's face it head-on! Let's stake the name of the Sword Saint!
A resolute glint flashed in Kreeher's beautiful sky-blue eyes as she gripped the purple longsword tightly in her right hand and thrust it toward the Ganjiang sword.
"Crack!"
The moment the Ganjiang sword made contact with the purple longsword, it emitted a loud bang. The ground beneath Liu Tianyu and Kreeher's feet sank a full meter, and the howling air currents caused the surrounding old buildings to explode.
"Whoa!"
The terrifying shockwaves from both incidents even affected the only fish in the vicinity.
Kyr couldn't help but stumble back more than ten steps before finally regaining his balance.
"Who, who won?"
After regaining his balance, Kyar immediately widened his eyes and couldn't help but look again at the two people who had made such a commotion.
"Crack!"
The purple longsword let out a mournful cry the moment it touched the Ganjiang sword, and when Liu Tianyu and Kreeher were competing in strength, it let out a sound of being overwhelmed.
Very quickly, very quickly! Under the pressure of Gan Jiang's sword, the purple longsword gradually turned into fragments, starting from the tip.
This purple longsword is actually quite well-made; after all, it's the sword of the swordsman of the Kingdom of Geolar, so it couldn't be bad.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a top-tier enchanted weapon made of black gold or mithril, and it was facing off against Ganjiang Sword, one of the ten most famous swords in Chinese history.
Finally, facing off against two masters, Liu Tianyu and Kreeher, its only fate was to shatter completely! (Purple longsword: Ha, already in heaven!)
"!!!"
Seeing the purple longsword shattered into pieces, Kreeher was shocked for 0.1 seconds before, driven by her honed combat instincts, she narrowly avoided the sword that was about to pierce her.
"Pfft!"
Even though Kreeher tried her best to avoid the Ganjiang sword's thrust, she was still a step too late, and her bare, snow-white shoulders were still mercilessly slashed across by the Ganjiang sword.
With the sharp blade of the Ganjiang sword combined with Liu Tianyu's terrifying power, which was like a speeding chariot, her delicate shoulder was instantly torn into a deep, gruesome wound that exposed the bone.
"drink!"
Kreeher's unparalleled perseverance allowed her to transform her right hand into a pink fist emitting a faint blue light, even though her left shoulder had become festering flesh, and she slammed it hard into Liu Tianyu's lower abdomen.
"This time the aim was right, but unfortunately, the power was a bit lacking!"
When Kreeher's right fist struck Liu Tianyu's abdomen, it generated a shockwave that sent Liu Tianyu flying.
But after flying less than ten meters, Liu Tianyu instantly stabilized his body, still joking with Kreeher.
"Huhuhu..."
Faced with Liu Tianyu's sarcastic remarks, Kreh's lips began to pant almost imperceptibly, and beads of sweat dripped continuously from her slightly pale forehead.
In the previous exchange, even though she had tried her best, she did not gain the slightest advantage and was constantly being suppressed.
Besides his skills, Liu Tianyu far surpassed him in both speed and strength, and he could even see through his moves.
In addition, his weapon was by no means ordinary. Judging from the material, it was obviously not top-grade material, so it could only be a divinely bestowed weapon.
It can be said that Liu Tianyu was the most powerful opponent he had ever faced since his debut. Even the high-level demon who had taken away his right hand was not as terrifying as him!
"What's wrong, Miss Sword Saint? Didn't you initially vow to capture me and bring me to the royal city of Geolar to be judged by His Majesty Prom?"
Why are you suddenly so still? If you're not moving, then I'm going to start moving!
As Liu Tianyu spoke casually, he wiped the blood from the Ganjiang sword with his left hand. Then, he changed his attack and took the initiative to meet Kreeher!

Chapter 160 Turning the Sword Saint into Star Fury
"Hmm? An afterimage?"
When Gan Jiang's sword struck Kreeher, Liu Tianyu was taken aback. He didn't feel any flesh being penetrated by the sword, which meant that the Kreeher in front of him was not the real Kreeher.
Sure enough, Kreeher, who was hit by Liu Tianyu, quickly disappeared, while Kreeher herself appeared 10 meters away.
"Although you are still slightly lacking in swordsmanship, your strength, speed, physique, and even your weapon are undoubtedly top-notch, not to mention you are a dragon knight!"
Kreeher's left hand was completely paralyzed, but she still mustered her strength and read out all the information she had obtained during her brief exchange with Liu Tianyu.
"Oh, after you've thoroughly experienced it with your body, I wonder what Miss Kreehe, as a Sword Saint, thinks? Could it be that you're finally convinced of the difference in strength and are planning to surrender to me?"
Liu Tianyu did not pursue Kreeher any further, but instead rubbed the Ganjiang sword slightly, his face full of amusement.
"Dream on! As for my feelings? You are far too dangerous, and I have no reason to let you go!"
Kreeher threw the purple longsword, now only the hilt remained, to the ground and drew a strange short sword that gleamed with black light from her back.
"Your primary weapon isn't a black gold weapon, but your secondary weapon, a short sword, is. I really don't know what you were thinking. Could it be that you, a sword saint, also double as an assassin?"
Looking at the black and gold short sword tightly gripped in Kreeher's right hand, Liu Tianyu raised an eyebrow, completely bewildered.
"Tap Tap!"
Without any reply, accompanied by the rapid thud of her high boots, Kreeher once again transformed into a blur as she charged toward Liu Tianyu.
"Crack!"
The Ganjiang sword and the black gold short sword sparked intensely, but unlike the purple longsword, there was no mournful sound. This time, the symphony was crisp and melodious.
"Ping ping pong pong!"
In the instant of contact, their figures once again became afterimages that were indistinguishable to the naked eye.
The only way to know that the two were fighting was by the crisp sound of the Ganjiang sword clashing with the black gold short sword each time, and the deep pit that appeared on the ground.
Just three minutes later, Liu Tianyu and Kreeher passed each other again, but the two did not turn into afterimages once more.
"What's wrong, Miss Kresh? You seem to be slowing down. Should I slow down a little so you can keep up?"
Liu Tianyu wore his usual sunny and gentle smile, but the words he uttered were devoid of any warmth, except for their sarcastic tone.
"Ha, ha!"
Kreeher, on the other side, did not answer. Her delicate face was covered in cold sweat, and the color in her face was visibly fading.
In those three minutes, the fight between the two almost completely demolished and rebuilt this old building complex, but it was all for naught.
Liu Tianyu still acted as if nothing had happened, and could still be sarcastic towards her. However, in the fierce battle just now, she not only lost a lot of physical strength, but the blood from the wound on her left hand was also gushing out like it was free.
Where the two fought, there were more or less bright red marks.
Not to mention, in the previous exchange, she was completely at a disadvantage. Now, in addition to the wound on her left hand, there were many other places where Gan Jiang's sword had cut open, oozing blood.
Kreeher is now like a candle flickering in the wind, weakened by severe injuries and excessive blood loss.
Let alone refuting Liu Tianyu, the fact that she can stand up without falling is already an amazing testament to her willpower.
"It's no use talking more!"
Kreeher bit her tongue hard with her pearly teeth, hoping to regain some consciousness from her dazed state. Then she spat out a word viciously.
She raised her right hand, which was gripping the black and gold short sword, high, her sky-blue eyes scrutinizing Liu Tianyu, hoping to find an opportunity to die together with him.
Indeed, after a series of encounters, Kreeher realized that she had no chance of winning.
However, whether for the sake of the Kingdom of Geolar or for the sake of the title of Sword Saint, she absolutely could not allow such a dangerous being as Liu Tianyu to continue living in the world!
"Oh, are you contemplating suicide? You've caused me a lot of trouble and severely damaged my emotional well-being. If I just let you die like this, wouldn't that be too easy for you?"
Therefore, you are utterly defeated by my attack and become my prisoner!
Looking at the determination filling Kreeher's sky-blue eyes, Liu Tianyu scoffed inwardly, but his expression shifted from playful to serious.
"You've figured it out? Then let's go!"
Kreeher naturally noticed the increased seriousness in Liu Tianyu's expression, but she was already on the verge of action and had no choice but to act.
This next strike is a do-or-die situation!
"Excalibur!"
Kreeh gave a soft shout, and then the black and gold short sword in Kreeh's hand—no, Kreeh herself—seemed to transform into a silver sword beam, slashing towards Liu Tianyu with unstoppable force.
"Wow, that's amazing! So incredibly strong!"
Sensing Kreeher's determination and her unique divine sword skill, Liu Tianyu, as her opponent, could naturally feel the terrifying aura of destruction.
It could be said that if he hadn't been able to withstand it, several nearby streets would have been completely shattered by that terrifying silver sword light, turning them into true ruins.
Will you win? Yes you will!
