Absolute Death Game-Chapter 422 - 40 Curse Sword VS Curse Sword_2
He looked around twice and, besides the eagle and python fighting joyously, there was only himself, alone. This space did not seem to have any hiding spots like the outside, so Jingci could be certain that Xiao Buli must have used some invisibility spell.
He reached out his hand, and a ring-shaped jade pendant appeared in Jingci’s hand. Holding the jade ring up before his eyes, he scanned the room in a circuit, and immediately spotted Xiao Buli’s figure. Xiao Buli was not far from him, his treasured sword raised high, preparing to catch him off guard.
Although Xiao Buli did not know what the treasure in Jingci’s hand was exactly, it was not difficult to guess its purpose based on Jingci’s actions. Therefore, when he saw Jingci aim the jade ring at him, he knew his form had been revealed and he hurriedly leaped from the ground and vanished on the spot.
Although Jingci could see Xiao Buli’s figure through the jade ring in his hand, the jade ring had a drawback when used: it required one hand to hold, and only through the eye looking through the ring could he see. Hence, his speed was always slower than normal vision.
Seeing Xiao Buli jump upward, Jingci hurriedly looked up. However, Xiao Buli had a trick up his sleeve. He leapt up, but not too high; in midair, he twisted at the waist, rolled to one side, and upon landing, rolled twice to offset the force and shake off Jingci’s pursuit in a short time. After getting up, he immediately circled around to Jingci’s back and delivered a Straight Lightning Slash down towards Jingci’s rear.
It is often said that a master is aware of all around them, unlike gamers who play through computers, as people within the game possess both auditory and olfactory senses. Thus, even though Jingci could not see Xiao Buli for a moment, his intuition was exceptionally sharp; sensing a sinister gust of wind behind him, he immediately summoned a Frost Claw Silver Wolf. Xiao Buli’s sword struck but hit the back of the silver wolf, losing over two hundred health points, but Xiao Buli’s form had been revealed.

At that moment, Jingci felt regret. Having cultivated within Mystic Hollow Palace, his martial arts were exceptionally advanced, but because he learned things systematically and singularly, he wasn’t as versed in a mix of abilities like Xiao Buli’s invisibility and stealth. Although he compensated with the Jade Ring of Ice Heart, it was still restrictive in combat.
Anger in his heart, the treasured sword in his hand started to buzz. Although Jingci did not practice the Sword Control Skill, the spells within Mystic Hollow Palace mostly emphasized human-sword unity, so he still had such a connection with the treasured sword.
Seeing this, Xiao Buli assumed Jingci was about to use a sword control spell. If he were to engage in close combat, he would immediately be at a disadvantage. Without further thought, Xiao Buli switched to the Ancient Heart of Ice, pinched the sword technique, and his treasured sword began to float above his head.
However, Xiao Buli made a mistake. This space augmented fire element spells and restrained ice element spells. Upon seeing this, Jingci’s mouth curved into a smile, knowing full well the attributes of this space. Yet, he dared not take Xiao Buli lightly. Initially, Jingci thought that facing Xiao Buli would be a quick fight, but the past few exchanges, despite Xiao Buli seeming somewhat flustered, made Jingci take him seriously. Regardless of this space’s enhancement of Xiao Buli’s spells, the junior fellow indeed gave him a surprise in a short time.
Hence, Jingci moved, slowly taking up a fighting stance and began a formal battle with Xiao Buli. However, Xiao Buli was unaware of Jingci’s thoughts and felt a deep relief when he noticed the sudden slowing of Jingci’s pace, not realizing the real battle had just begun.
Jingci held his sword in a beginning posture, simple yet noble and impressive, clearly of a Grandmaster Level. Xiao Buli felt a sudden warmth emanating from Jingci’s direction, and saw a bright white glow slowly rising around Jingci. He realized Jingci was using his cultivation technique and was surprised he could feel it so clearly despite being over a dozen steps away.
Suddenly, Jingci moved. Each action was incredibly slow, yet Xiao Buli found it difficult to see clearly on his end. Jingci’s every motion left a trail of afterimages, and as his movements grew larger, the afterimages became more numerous, until Xiao Buli could no longer discern Jingci’s actions.
The next second, Xiao Buli saw countless sword lights separating from that mass of figures, converging on him from all sides. The sword lights were not very fast, but in the blink of an eye, they had become nearly a hundred, entangling Xiao Buli like a tangled mess. Seeing no chance to wait, Xiao Buli quickly put his flying sword into action, attacking the densest part of the sword lights. The sword lights, like illusions, turned into a wisp of blue smoke upon contact with the Ice Heart, but more quickly filled in the gaps. Xiao Buli hurriedly executed the sword technique, wielding the Ice Sword rapidly, trying to open a gap for himself with the quickly spinning sword lights. However, the numerous sword lights closed in, and despite the Ice Sword’s clear advantage in speed, there was only one of it, and the encirclement tightened gradually.
