Chapter 135 Or is it that you're no longer capable?
"They're different."
Walter's voice was extremely heavy, "During the Kafka arc, Lu Li gained his ultimate power at the cost of falling into the demonic body and fusing 'destruction' and 'abundance' into himself."
"And now..."
Himeko sighed, looking at the figure in the sky, her eyes filled with worry. "Right now, he shows no signs of being a demonic being."
"Most importantly... the ability to vanish in an instant is even more bizarre and troublesome than that Destruction Envoy called 'Ember'."
"The gap between us and the Commanders... cannot be bridged by a single powerful weapon."
There is a saying that is universally acknowledged in the universe.
That is.
—The Star God does not appear.
Only the envoy can defeat the envoy.
...At least that was the case before the first scene of the celestial curtain appeared.
therefore.
After Lu Li defeated the Destruction Commander in the Kafka arc, he was hailed as a hero throughout the universe.
Because he, in his human form, accomplished what was theoretically impossible... even at the cost of his own life.
But the current situation is completely different from that in the Kafka arc.
It is even more troublesome than the ashes.
in other words.
Lu Li's chances of winning this battle... remain slim.
……
The moment Lu Li used his Word of Power to break the seal on the black blade, the audience outside the canopy fell silent.
The next moment, the comments section started scrolling rapidly.
I take back what I said earlier. That's not a blade of kindness, it's clearly a blade of destruction!
[Holy crap, this sword even has a second form?! That's so advanced!]
I guessed a lot, but I never expected it would require the use of incantations to unravel it.
Is it possible that it wasn't broken by a word of magic, but rather that Lu Li sealed it away using a word of magic beforehand...?
[Even though it was just a scene in the sky, the moment Lu Li broke the seal, I felt as if I could sense the aura of that sword; it gave me goosebumps.]
What kind of knife is this?
I don't know; there's never been anything quite like it in history.
In short, it's definitely a very powerful sword!
[Go Lu Li!]
……
Under the tense gazes of everyone, the image on the sky began to rotate again.
Lu Li, holding a black knife, walked step by step toward Shu Hu.
His previous lazy demeanor vanished without a trace, replaced by a chilling sharpness.
It was as if a peerless weapon, long sealed away, had finally revealed its ferocious fangs at this moment.
Under the watchful eyes of countless viewers throughout the universe.
Lu Li walked up to Shu Hu.
He raised his head, his gaze calm as he looked at the enormous body that suddenly appeared, composed of countless distorted faces and crazed eyeballs.
"Oh? So, finally some fearless people have come?"
Looking at Lu Li who had come before them, the thousands of faces suddenly became interested. "Mortal, state your name."
"Just a nobody."
Lu Li said calmly, pointing the black knife in his hand at Shu Hu.
"Come on, let me see what this so-called envoy is really capable of."
"Arrogant!"
He was instantly enraged.
Countless enormous tree branches, like pythons emerging from their caves, lashed out at Lu Li with terrifying force.
Faced with this devastating attack, Lu Li showed no fear whatsoever.
He simply... swung his knife.
There are no fancy moves, no dazzling visual effects.
It was just a simple horizontal slash.
however.
A flash of pitch-black light accompanied it.
next second.
The countless massive tree branches that attacked snapped off in mid-air, falling helplessly like chopped sugarcane.
The entire battlefield fell silent once again.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, their minds blank.
One cut?
With just one strike, the fleeting attack was severed?
What... what terrifying power is this?!
"This...this guy..." Ying Xing opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Bai Heng murmured, "So amazing..."
Looking at that aloof figure, Bai Heng's eyes gleamed with admiration.
maybe.
Maybe Lu Li really can...
Danfeng and Jingliu exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.
They knew that Lu Li's strength was unfathomable.
But they never imagined it would be this strong.
Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the distance, Jingliu tightened his grip on "Zhili" slightly.
A strange light, so complex it was imperceptible even to herself, flashed in those clear, cold eyes.
I knew it……
I knew you weren't simple...
Is this... your true strength?
Lu Li.
This man, who is always lazy and says he wants to just coast along, always shows up at the most crucial moment.
How many secrets does he still hold?
……
On the Starry Sky Train.
"Wow!!!"
Seeing that Luofu had finally won a point.
On March 7th, Xing and others erupted in a thunderous cheer, instantly embracing each other in celebration.
"So handsome! Lu Li, you're so handsome!"
"I knew it! How could Lu Li possibly lose!"
Himeko and Welt were also amazed.
"Such a pure strike..." Walter pushed up his glasses. "There were no unnecessary energy fluctuations; he achieved this effect solely through skill and power."
"While the sword is one aspect... it must be said that his swordsmanship has reached a state of perfection," Himeko exclaimed.
But unlike the excitement of March 7th, they were different.
Lu Li, standing to the side, frowned even more as he looked at "himself" in the sky.
This knife... is problematic.
That last strike appeared to be something he did himself.
But Lu Li sensed it keenly.
That knife... is "alive".
It craves battle, it craves killing.
A desire for...destruction.
To wield such a sword in battle, one cannot do so without paying a price.
Could it be... that this "price" is the reason why Lu Li has never used this sword in battle?
No, that's not right.
Lu Li frowned slightly as he looked at the expressionless figure of [Lu Li] holding a black knife in the sky.
He didn't believe that some ridiculous "price" could make him cower in fear.
Or……
Looking at himself holding a black sword in the sky, Lu Li fell into deep thought.
……
In the sky, he suddenly snapped out of his shock.
Its thousands of eyes were fixed on the black knife in Lu Li's hand, revealing fear for the first time.
"What kind of weapon is that?"
"What weapon?"
"Just a... fire poker."
Lu Li said calmly, raising the black knife in his hand once more.
"Again."
"Or are you saying you're not up to it anymore?"
