Chapter 65: 65
Chapter 65 Strengthening the Blood Blade
Under the gray sky, the continuous rain curtain is like a fine gauze curtain, shrouding the whole world in haziness.
The moist earth was gently tapped by raindrops, stirring up layers of dust, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth.
In the rain, Kokushibo and Lin Yi stood quietly, their eyes penetrating through the layers of rain and locked on each other.
A raindrop accidentally fell on the sword that Lin Yi was holding tightly, making a slight sound.
The sword body produced a subtle arc under the touch of raindrops, and this imperceptible change was enough to change the entire situation of the battle.
Kokushibo would naturally not miss this opportunity.
He moved, passing through the rain like a ghost. The long sword in his hand emitted a breathtaking cold light at this moment, carrying an unparalleled murderous aura, and went straight to Lin Yi's vital points with an unstoppable momentum.
Facing Kokushibo's attack, the Black Rose Sword in Lin Yi's hand stabbed out as fast as lightning, pointing directly at Kokushibo's heart.
The attack was both insidious and swift, like a poisonous snake suddenly emerging from hell, making it impossible to defend against.
Although Kokushibo caught Lin Yi's attack, at this critical moment, he could only hold the sword across his chest and try to block Lin Yi's attack.
"Clang!" A crisp metal collision sound was heard, and the blade of the katana and the tip of the black rose sword collided violently.
The impact force created an invisible shock wave that spread rapidly in the air, and even the surrounding rain curtain was shaken slightly by this force.
Kokushibo only felt a powerful recoil force suddenly hit him, passing through the weapon into his arm, causing his arm to feel numb and he almost couldn't hold the sword in his hand.
Kokushibo paused and stopped retreating. Three crescent-shaped slashing waves flew out of his hand, like a crescent moon cutting through the night sky, and rushed towards Lin Yi with a fierce murderous intent.
Facing Kokushibo's counterattack, Lin Yi's eyes were solemn, knowing that these three slashes were no small matter.
Gripping the long sword tightly, Lin Yi thrust out three consecutive sword strikes in a very short period of time, and each sword blocked the trajectory of the strike with incredible precision.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Three crisp metal collision sounds rang out in succession, and Lin Yi successfully resolved Kokushibo's counterattack.
During the fierce confrontation, Lin Yi suddenly heard a subtle but crisp clicking sound.
The sound broke the noise of the battle like water dripping through stone, causing both sides to stop their actions at the same time.
The two of them focused their eyes on the source of the sound at the same time, and saw that a hairline-thin crack appeared at the place where the katana in Kokushibo's hand was hit by the tip of Lin Yi's sword.
Although the crack was small, it was as eye-catching as a natural chasm in the eyes of both sides.
Kokushibo was shocked. The damage to his weapon was undoubtedly extremely unfavorable news to him.
But Kokushibo had no intention of giving up. He quickly adjusted his tactics and swung the sword in his hand to launch a more fierce attack - Breathing of the Moon·Long Night of Solitary Moon·Invincible.
Dozens of crescent-shaped sword lights swept over, each emitting a menacing chill.
Lin Yi made a horizontal slash, and the sword lights seemed extremely fragile the moment they touched the sword blade. He keenly realized that this was probably a move that Kokushibo deliberately used to delay time.
The blood on Kokushibo's body surged like waves, entwining around the sword.
As the blood seeped in, the sword seemed to be injected with a new soul, becoming even sharper and more bloodthirsty, revealing a strange beauty and danger.
Kokushibo knew that this strengthening time was very short, only a few seconds. He had to launch an attack during this time and strive to win with one strike.
When the blood completely merged into the sword, Kokushibo's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and his body couldn't help but begin to tremble.
His eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and weakness, and it was obvious that this strengthening had come at a heavy price for him.
Sensing Kokushibo's weakness, Lin Yi seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
The black rose in his hand flashed a chilling light under the moonlight, as if foreshadowing the impending fatal blow.
Faced with the incoming attack, Kokushibo did not choose conventional defensive means, but closed his eyes and slowly put the sword back into the scabbard.
Seeing this abnormal behavior, a strong sense of uneasiness surged into Lin Yi's heart like a tide.
At this moment, the sword in Kokushibo's hand was suddenly unsheathed, and a blood-red blade light cut through the night sky, slashing towards Lin Yi at lightning speed.
Wherever the knife light passed, the rain curtain was split in two.
For Lin Yi, the threat brought by this knife far exceeded all previous moves.
He could clearly sense that Kokushibo had concentrated all his strength and murderous intent into this one attack.
At this life-and-death moment, Lin Yi did not retreat or escape.
He tightly gripped the sword in his hand and faced the blood-red blade light with an almost resolute attitude.
The blood-red blade light of Kokushibo collided with the tip of Lin Yi's sword.
Amid the deafening sound of metal collisions, it seemed as if an invisible force was tearing apart the surrounding space.
The blood-red blade light was like the god of death's scythe, carrying a cold and sharp murderous intent, ruthlessly slashing towards Lin Yi's chest.
After one blow, Lin Yi's blood volume dropped sharply, and in a blink of an eye it fell to two-thirds.
At this critical moment, the protective power in Lin Yi's hand was suddenly triggered.
A bright green light shot out from the ring and quickly enveloped his entire body.
Under the nourishment of this green light, Lin Yi's wounds began to heal rapidly, and his blood volume recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, barely returning to the safety line.
Kokushibo didn't give Lin Yi much chance to breathe.
His figure flashed, and he instantly closed the distance between him and Lin Yi. The blood-red sword in his hand once again slashed towards Lin Yi with an unmatched force.
Lin Yi took a deep breath, endured the injuries on his body, and rushed forward with his sword tightly grasped.
He knew that he had no way out at this moment, and only by fighting Kokushibo with all his might could he have a chance of survival.
The sword light and the knife light collided violently in the air again. The power of both sides completely exploded at this moment, as if to destroy everything around them.
At this critical moment, a bright red fragment dissipated in front of the two people.
As the fragment dissipated, the blood-red color of the sword in Kokushibo's hand gradually faded, revealing its original color.
At the same time, a crisp "click" sound rang through the night sky, starting from the crack that was previously pierced by the black and white rose.
The sword broke into two pieces, and the broken ends were as smooth as a mirror, as if telling of its unwillingness and helplessness.
Kokushibo was stunned, with a hint of astonishment and regret in his eyes.
