True Solution of the Sword Dao
Chapter 100 - 100 94 Truth II

Chapter 100: Chapter 94 Truth II Chapter 100: Chapter 94 Truth II From a distance, Sis was smiling as he looked this way.

Lin Fei gripped the ring in his hand tightly and slowly walked toward him.

“You killed Andrew. Coincidentally, he was Kori’s friend, and Kori happens to be Angel’s new friend,” Sis said as he gently extinguished the cigarette butt against his fingertip. “Angel is so pure, so perfect, you think so too, right? For the perfect Angel, offering your life as a sacrifice to please the angels seems only natural.”

“What are you talking about?” Lin Fei stopped in his tracks, the two men less than ten meters apart.

“With every person I kill, my heart aches once. I always tell myself not to be afraid, not to be afraid, that Angel will cleanse me of all my sins. Whenever that happens, my heart calms down completely,” Sis mused. “The sky turns dark without the sun, and the purity I’ve been seeking also ages. It wasn’t until later that I realized angels age too. That they can stop being beautiful. That her most beautiful moment had already vanished.” He looked at Lin Fei calmly. “I see the same struggle in your eyes as mine.”

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Lin Fei asked softly. “There really is no need for us to be at each other’s throats. You could very well avoid making an enemy of Shueisha. Just an outsider’s request, you didn’t have to go this far.”

“Are you afraid?” Sis laughed. “We are of the same kind. Why do you fight? Someone once asked me that.”

“How did you answer?” Lin Fei suddenly remembered a similar phrase.

“I just said, I’m very afraid. Then I killed him. Funny, isn’t it?” Sis started laughing hysterically.

“He’s just a nutcase.” A man with white long hair emerged from a car, his entire body wrapped in a black coat, with a black mask covering most of his face.

“Someone speaks very highly of you. I hope you don’t disappoint me.” Sis’s laughter came to an abrupt stop. The man beside him stretched out his hands, and a pale silver sheen suddenly appeared on the bulky surface of his fists. The silver twisted slightly, then solidified into gloves resembling metal.

“His name is Casey, just like you, a D-level Psychic. He just reached D-level this year,” Sis explained.

“I’m curious to see just how strong the man who killed Lord Andrew really is?” Casey sneered as he clashed his fists together, emitting a metallic clang.

Suddenly, Casey threw a punch, sending a huge force rushing toward Lin Fei like a roaring storm. Loud booming sounds lifted up turf from the ground and scattered it in all directions.

In an instant, as if the whole world had frozen, Lin Fei unsheathed his sword in a flash, with True Force flowing rapidly through his body in perfect accordance with the Tracing Shadow Sword Art. His figure narrowly dodged the direction of the impact.

Strands of blue tassels gently floated around Lin Fei, his figure instantly turning into a light blue shadow. His sword edge whizzed past Casey, who didn’t have time to react.

“Clang!” The ring smashed fiercely against Casey’s body, emitting a sound of metal striking metal.

“Damn it, it’s the speed type I hate the most!” Casey shouted in frustration. He rushed forward swiftly, trying to hit the fast-moving shadow but could only helplessly follow behind.

Lin Fei’s figure suddenly spun around and reappeared behind Casey. The biggest difference between D-level and C-level was the inability to break through defense. No matter how many times you were attacked, as long as a C-level’s defense wasn’t broken in one strike, there wouldn’t be any damage. But at the same D-level, even with defensive abilities, as long as the strength was sufficient, defenses could be broken.

Casey sneered, and his body suddenly exploded with force.

“Boom!” A huge ring of transparent ripples burst from the air shock. Grass and dirt were scattered in an instant by the force.

Lin Fei took a step back, about to speed away, when suddenly a severe pain shot through his brain.

“You will die,” Jiu’er’s voice echoed once more by his ear.

A powerful shockwave hit him head-on, his body feeling as though it was smashed by a monstrous wave, an overwhelming force completely engulfing him. A profound sensation of suffocation locked on his lungs. It felt as if all the air was being sucked out of them.

“Boom!” Lin Fei was smashed hard into the ground by the impact and sunk deep into the turf.

Casey swiped one hand through empty space, a human-sized transparent blade whooshing toward Lin Fei’s position, but it was immediately neutralized by a succession of silver rings.

“Buzz!” A blue beast totem emerged behind Lin Fei, and the recoil instantly lifted him off the ground.

Casey sneered and charged forward, surrounded by numerous swirling and twisting currents of air as if encased in a giant moving glass sphere, with countless blades of grass and clumps of dirt flying around him.

Lin Fei coughed out blood softly, the totem behind him just beginning to rotate when a sudden intense headache overwhelmed his mind.

Boom! The totem and the sphere collided fiercely, the shattered currents of air and blue light points exploded forth. Lin Fei fell onto the grassland like a broken doll.

“You’re so weak!!” Casey said boredly as he clapped his hands together, his silver gloves instantly dissipating. “Wasn’t that just a warm-up? How did it end so suddenly?”

Half-lying on the grass, Lin Fei’s chest was a bloody red; his longsword was planted beside him. He tried to use the hilt to prop himself up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t rise.

“Can’t even block that? Miserable creature. I didn’t even use a tenth of my power,” Casey said, looking down at Lin Fei from above.

Everything was a blur, he could hear nothing. He should have easily dodged that last attack. Lin Fei felt an extreme knot of frustration in his heart.

“If not for the headache!! If not for… just a D-rank rookie!!” He felt that he had truly been a fool. With Yan Shi’s influence growing deeper, why had he chosen to come alone for the duel? He could easily sense the gaps between Casey’s attacks, but the headache had arrived just in time. It was as if Yan Shi was intentionally interrupting him, yet he couldn’t understand why.

“You are going to die…” That sentence, accompanied by crying, continued to echo in his ears, drowning out all other sounds.

“Don’t struggle anymore.” Yan Shi’s voice emerged inexplicably from within him.

“Why am I dead, yet you are still alive?” Jiu’er’s voice rang out beside his ear.

“Give up, what’s the point of living such a tiring life?” Wang Qing said, laughing next to him.

“There’s no hope left.”

The luster in Lin Fei’s eyes was fading.

“Yes… no hope left…”

Casey stood to one side, lowering his head to look at his polished shoes, then at the upturned grass near Lin Fei, dismissing the idea of getting any closer.

“Trash!” He spat disdainfully on the ground.

Sis stood beside the car.

“Let’s go, he’s already dead.”

“Boss, shouldn’t we check?” Casey called out loudly.

“His life aura has already disappeared. No need.” Sis pulled open the car door, about to get in.

“Wait!” The white-haired man suddenly spoke up. “Something seems off.”

The sky was overcast with thick clouds. The surrounding silence was so profound it lacked even the smallest noise, an abnormal stillness.

An extremely oppressive aura slowly began to rise from where Lin Fei lay.

“Boom!” A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, instantly illuminating everything.

“How many years has it been?” A deep voice slowly rose, as if the entire world was trembling for it.

Strong winds blew everyone’s clothes, flapping loudly. The dark clouds in the sky suddenly began to spin. A dense web of lightning sporadically appeared and disappeared within the vortex.

“Buzz…” Suddenly, the earth trembled slightly, as if something was piercing upwards from deep underground.

“Hiss!” A black shadow instantly burst forth from the ground at Casey’s feet. In the blink of an eye, it flew like an arrow toward Lin Fei. Casey was startled and quickly stepped back.

Then followed a second, a third, a fourth…

A multitude of black shadows flew out from deep within the earth and shot towards Lin Fei.

“This… this aura…!!” Fear flickered in the white-haired man’s eyes. “How is this possible!!”

Sis watched everything unfolding with a dark, silent stare.

“Swords!” Sis was the first to recognize the true form of these black shadows.

Crack!!!

Flashes of lightning followed one after another. The world shifted between light and darkness.

Where Lin Fei had been, both the sword and the man had vanished.

Amidst the flickering lightning, a black silhouette stood quietly on the grass. Countless black shadows whirled at high speed around him, turning into a torrent of swords.

The Longsword Ring hung quietly at the figure’s waist, as if it had always been there from the very beginning.

“Whoosh!” The white-haired man suddenly pulled at his trench coat, and his entire being dispersed into numerous wisps of black smoke.

The figure slightly lifted his head, and the sky began to fall with specks of white. A cold chill filled the air, accompanied by countless snowflakes. His eyes emitted wisps of black smoke, as if his very being were burning from within. There were no pupils in his eyes, only darkness.

“I said I’d be with you.” The figure spoke softly.
