Chapter 528: Inducing Doubts

But Aeryon is not normal people. He is the farthest thing from normal

So, how could he miss it?

He did not miss it of course

He could sense that the sense of oppression, of sharpness that he felt before when he was facing Ayera is now dissipating

Just like him, Ayera also reached a limit with her ability. She could not do it all the time

"External power?"

He thought to himself. Though, her weakness is her advantage and he would not let an advantage to slip him by

Left and right hand moves, the pam attack intensify, showing almost an infinite formidable power for the first time

Aeryon smiles

Before, two strikes of this palm method had exhausted him but now as he become more and more proficient, he knows better when to release and when to hold back the power.

He is also close to understanding why he could use internal power, or mana, without having an exercise to store the internal energy in his body. But this is not the time to think about this matter.

Especially in a battle like this

Right now, the true horror of his palm method that is derived from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Dragon Palm shows its edge.

Even though Aeryon did not yet fully master this palm method, just showing a bit of this method is enough to shakes any warrior heart

Because in actual combat, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms proved nearly unstoppable when properly executed.

Its pure power could overcome most defensive strategies and few opponent could withstand even a single clean hit

Even partial mastery of the technique gave anyone who practice this skill a large advantage in battle

Unless you cut it off from the beginning and did not let the one practicing this technique to open the first move, it is hard to escape from a master who have master this method of palm skill

The momentum would overlayed each other until it could not be stopped and reach a point where every damage multiplied.

It would be like being trapped in a fierce storm

But Aeryon, the one practicing this method and using it right now also knows its limitations

One of its limitation is that it is not suitable for long term combat

Why?

Because of the hight internal energy requirements

The high internal energy requirements meant that anyone practicing and using this palm method had to end fights quickly or risk exhaustion of the body and mind and soul

Of course, if the one practicing this skill have large internal energy, then this weakness would not be so prominent

However, if someone knows about this weakness, it could easily be exploited by highly skilled opponents who can choose to try to evade the initial onslaught and force a battle of attrition

Ayera could not.

Aeryon has determined that and that is why he dares using all of his palm method freely

As for the other weakness of this skill, this weakness did not affect Aeryon at all.

This technique extremely forceful natures and hot energy that would be generated when practicing and using this skill made it unsuitable for most woman

If Aeryon had to describe it in Yan terms, it is that the pure Yang energy required for its execution conflicted with the yin nature of most female, making it dangerous and even in some cases impossible for them to master the complete art

Aeryon and Ayera is now using both of their methods. Aeryon however is taking a risk. He did not have to take the risk.

But he did not know whether this chance to comprehend this method would come again. Unlike in novels where you could practice wherever you want and gain understanding whatever you want, the reality is not like that.

When the chance come, you better grasp it quickly and tightly.

Because when the time passes and you lose the inspiration, then it might not come again

And that is why Aeryon even though he is taking quite the risk right now, did not mind put his win and lose on the line

And also, because he also has confidence in himself.

But now as he look at how Ayera is cutting his palm force, he could not help but think maybe there is a part of himself that is overestimating himself and underestimating Ayera.

"Pah!"

This doubt that is about to enter Aeryon heart is quickly dispelled

Aeryon could go from a nobody to a name that shakes the entire Southern Great Steppe is because his indomitable will

Even if he wrong in the beginning, it did not yet reach the point where he should regret everything

After all, the battle did not yet end, and the advantage is still in his hand.

"There must be a reason for this feeling" And then like a light bulb flashing Aeryon suddenly gain an enlightenment and he could not help but look at Ayera even more intently than before

To be more accurate, it is her sword that he is looking at. Looking at it like he wanted to uncover everything about this sword skill

"What a terrifying sword" Aeryon thought to himself.

He believes that the only reason he is thinking like this is because his mind was disturbed by that sword

Yes, he recognized it.

Even though Ayera is using a knife, that sharpness, is the sharpness of the sword.

Though he didn’t know where is this sword intent was stored. It is only when Ayera uses it would he caught a trace of it.

It is quite mystical and mysterious. Hidden and illusory.

That is the feeling he got from Ayera sword.

Aeryon himself did not know how to explain this kind of thing.

After all, knife and sword is just a tool. So, how could he know that the image of the weapons in Ayera mind is a sword and the will that disturb his mind is a sword?

How did he know?

Aeryon himself did not know how to explain it. He just knows. It is the kind of thing that you must experience it to understand it

But if one palm could not solve her, how about two palms? If two palms could not solve her, use for palms?

There is eighteen dragons flying and roaring, why worry about not subduing the world?

And so, that is what he did.

He ignores the question in his mind, but instead beginning to execute his palm method.

In certain thing, this kind of method is stupid. But in a fight, distraction is the knife that determines life and death

So, instead of thinking how he could tell that it is a sword, why the sword attack his mind, where it is hidden, focus on your method and believe in your method and execute it with full concentration.

Aeryon movement become faster and faster that he also leaves behind afterimage.

When he walks on the ground, the dust around him would rises up , shrouding his figure even more.

Ayera , if not for her sense heightened to its most peak level right now, would find it hard to even attack at the direction of Aeryon.

When he jumps, he would dodges and avoid Ayera attack in the air like the western wind, leaving only shadows and afterimages

Ayera also intensify her sword method.

The knife swings and chop, seventeen method of the knife were all used. From stabbing, to swinging, to slashing to chopping, to picking, to sweep, all methods of the knife is used by her

Even though she is not proficient in all the movements of the knife, with internal energy, even the most common moves becomes a divine move.

Where Aeryon pushed his palm, force, her knife would hack through it. Hacking dragons all around

From four direction, the palm force come like dragons charging but she with her knife cut through all of these palm force like there is no one else in the world but her

Just her, standing there in the middle of the ground of the crushed pavilion, hacking left and right, like a heroic warrior in the battlefield

Aeryon had changes in his method, but Ayera stands there with his knife, like she is telling him, even though you makes myriad changes, my mind stay focused

It is a method of trying to control him.

Just like how he smiles as an act to disturb Ayera mind, Ayera standing there with her knife and hacking all of his palm force is her way of disturbing his mind

Ayera method almost seems perfect.

But there is a flaw.

After all, Ayera probably did not master all of this method

If she did, then she is a truly terrifying woman.

This newfound ability must not be something that has long been with her

Her other hand trembles and the knife on her hand is on the verge of crumbling. Just like him, Ayera is advancing the more she uses her skills

Her proficiency increased and her familiarity with the knife also increase, making her strike become faster and more accurate.

The shrill cut of the wind basically roars all over the place.
