Chapter 263: Profound and Vast

"Chinese martial arts are profound and vast?" Upon hearing these words, the corner of Kuchiki Senya's mouth curved into a mocking arc: "What a pity — you'll never get to witness the power of those words in your lifetime."

The figure of Kawasaki Heishiro surfaced in Su Rui's mind.

That man was a special case in the Eastern Martial Arts World — though young in age, he had already become a top-tier expert, and there were even rumors that his future achievements would be no less than those of veteran masters. A man like that, placed in China, would unquestionably stand at the very pinnacle of the martial arts world. Yet he had been cut down by Su Rui's blade, his dreams shattered in a single strike!

Kuchiki Senya

swung his long blade in a sudden arc, a spray of blood erupting outward!

Su Rui's two super war-blades came out together, blocking this attack, but the moment he deflected it, the opponent's long blade had already followed through, chopping toward his shoulder!

Su Rui's figure tilted slightly, barely dodging!

However, this evasion of his was of no use whatsoever, because Kuchiki Senya's long blade swept downward along a slant, precisely slashing across Su Rui's ribs!

Although Su Rui's armor was very thick, it still failed to fully withstand this attack — a row of steel nails pierced straight through his ribs!

Fresh blood gushed out in a steady stream!

Su Rui was in so much pain he kept sucking in cold breaths!

"My patience is limited. Tell me now — where is Iida Yuki?" Kuchiki Senya's voice drifted over casually, as if these injuries meant nothing to him at all.

"I told you — this is an eternal secret." Su Rui gasped for breath, his forehead beaded with sweat.

His feet stamped against the ground, his entire body already tensed to the absolute limit!

This was the instinctive reaction produced when one's life hovered at the brink of crisis!

"Then go die!" Kuchiki Senya's figure suddenly leapt into the air, then descended, his long blade pointed straight at Su Rui!

This blade was extremely fast, leaving Su Rui virtually no room to dodge!

"No!" Li Youran shouted, and immediately burst out from the grass, trying to save Su Rui!

However, her speed was ultimately a fraction slower than Kuchiki Senya's — the moment Li Youran moved, the blade's edge had already sliced past Su Rui's ear!

A bloody groove instantly appeared on Su Rui's earlobe, fresh blood pouring out furiously along the wound!

Seeing this, Li Youran's gaze sharpened to its absolute limit!

Her right hand gripped her sword, the blade held level, her figure suddenly leaping into the air, shooting explosively toward Kuchiki Senya!

The latter had long been prepared — he turned and swung his blade to meet her!

Clang!

A muffled, heavy crash of impact exploded across this silent hillside!

This was the spark produced when weapons collided!

Li Youran and Kuchiki Senya each flew backward three or four meters!

"Sister Youran, get out of here first!" Su Rui hurriedly shouted.

He didn't want to be a burden to Li Youran — after all, the opponent's strength was clearly superior by a notch, and if she stayed to help him, the ending would likely be tragic!

However, at this moment Li Youran was utterly unwilling to leave!

"Apollo, don't worry about me — you need to protect yourself!" Li Youran shouted!

After saying this, the power within her body suddenly erupted, and the precious sword in her hand suddenly flew from her grip!

Then, Li Youran closed in!

Her precious sword carried a clear, bright radiance, heading straight for Kuchiki Senya's throat!

However, this fellow was clearly long prepared — at the very moment Li Youran struck out, his long blade had already begun to dance!

Clang-clang-clang!

The sounds of the two blades colliding rose one after another!

This was an intense contest between blade and sword!

Su Rui gritted his teeth and held on for a few exchanges, then twisted his body and lunged straight at Kuchiki Senya!

The latter had originally been locked in a hard clash with Li Youran — seeing this, he could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge and retreat!

However, before his long blade had even been withdrawn, Su Rui's left fist had already slammed out viciously!

Bang!

The two men's fists collided midair, producing a metallic clang that made one's teeth ache!

This made Su Rui's arm ache dully!
