Chapter 58

~6 min read 1,127 words

After being chased and slashed by Li Xiao for several minutes,

Huang Yuan found an opportunity to create some distance,

and shouted softly:

"Yata no Kagami!"

Huang Yuan’s hands accumulated a light that looked like a mirror,

and immediately after,

a beam of light shot out and reflected off reflective objects like the glass of surrounding buildings,

forming a track of light!

At this time,

Li Xiao had already slashed over with his sword again,

and Huang Yuan immediately transformed into a beam of golden light and merged into the track of light,

moving rapidly with the help of the track!

Seeing this,

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow,

released the Qingshuang Sword from his right hand,

formed a sword seal,

and with the addition of spiritual power,

the Qingshuang Sword turned into a cyan stream of light and headed straight for Huang Yuan!

For a moment,

two streams of light, one cyan and one golden, flew back and forth across the street,

chasing each other!

However,

a moment later,

Li Xiao frowned slightly!

Li Xiao discovered that,

with Huang Yuan dodging with all his might,

Li Xiao really couldn't hit him!

Huang Yuan was different from Enel,

although both were Logia Devil Fruit users,

and their speed was top-tier throughout the pirate world!

However,

Enel’s Rumble-Rumble Fruit could only approach the speed of light for a short time,

while Huang Yuan was a light-man who had eaten the Glint-Glint Fruit,

his speed was the true speed of light!

Facing the speed of light,

even Li Xiao found it difficult to catch up using Sword Control!

And,

compared to Enel,

Huang Yuan, as one of the three Marine Admirals,

was undoubtedly much more experienced in combat!

Plus, Huang Yuan had no desire to fight Li Xiao to the death right now,

so,

he didn't fight Li Xiao head-on at all,

just blindly dodging Li Xiao’s attacks!

Clearly,

in Huang Yuan’s view,

once Li Xiao realized he couldn't hit him,

he would naturally stop!

At this very moment,

Li Xiao had begun to realize a flaw in his own existence!

Although Li Xiao possessed many supernatural powers,

he lacked a single escape technique!

Although riding the clouds and mist could be considered an escape technique,

it was difficult to play any role in combat!

The role of riding the clouds and mist was more for traveling,

especially for long distances!

If he really wanted to use it for combat,

there was probably only one way!

At the start of the battle,

before the opponent could move,

Li Xiao would use the clouds to fly into the sky,

then sit in the mist,

eating sunflower seeds,

while using Sword Control to drive the Qingshuang Sword to attack the enemy!

For those without anti-air capabilities,

they would fall into the awkward situation of being unable to hit or run!

And if Li Xiao were to casually scatter a handful of the sunflower seed shells he had just eaten,

it would probably cause great psychological trauma to the opponent!

Compared to the Qingshuang Sword chasing their tails,

these shells might not have high damage,

but the insult was definitely great!

Even if he encountered someone with flight capabilities,

it wouldn't matter,

anyway, Li Xiao could fly thousands of meters high,

could they?

Hmm...

Thinking about it this way,

the way of using clouds in combat

seemed quite interesting!

Should he,

pick a lucky person to try it on next time?

……

Ahem,

getting off track!

That said,

what Li Xiao needed was a true escape technique that could be used in combat,

and one that focused on increasing his own speed!

Otherwise,

once he encountered a situation like Huang Yuan’s,

he would end up in the awkward position of being able to win,

but unable to hit!

Clearly his attack power was

048

join the group) points at 99999,

but all his attacks were MISS!

That was very depressing!

In fact,

previously when fighting Enel on the Sky Island,

although Li Xiao could keep up with Enel’s dodging speed using Sword Control,

in reality,

this was limited to small-scale combat!

If Enel hadn't been stubborn and fought Li Xiao head-on,

but had been determined to leave,

Li Xiao probably wouldn't have been able to keep him!

Unfortunately,

he was stubborn,

so he died!

This story tells us...

don't interrupt people's meals when you have nothing to do,

that way you won't die whether you are stubborn or not!

At this time,

while thinking,

although Li Xiao had realized

that he couldn't cause any damage to Huang Yuan, who was determined to dodge,

the Qingshuang Sword still kept chasing and slashing at Huang Yuan’s tail under his command!

Anyway,

no matter if I can hit you or not,

as long as I keep slashing at you,

you have to keep running!

If I don't let you stop,

you have to keep running for me!

However,

just at this moment,

in Li Xiao’s perception,

an aura not weaker than Huang Yuan’s suddenly appeared!

Li Xiao turned his head in the direction of his perception,

and saw a middle-aged man appear at the end of the street... 0

This person’s height was no less than Huang Yuan’s,

but his build was even more robust,

wearing a Marine uniform, a Marine cap,

and a Justice cloak on his back,

and through the collar of his clothes, one could see a tattoo on his body.

The person who arrived was none other than one of the three Marine Admirals, Sakazuki,

codename: Akainu!

Upon seeing that it was Akainu,

Li Xiao couldn't help but be slightly surprised!

Two of the three Marine Admirals

had come at once,

even if he had killed a Celestial Dragon, it shouldn't have come to this!

Subsequently,

Li Xiao’s mind stirred,

and the Qingshuang Sword, which had been chasing and slashing at Huang Yuan, turned into a stream of light and returned to Li Xiao’s side,

hovering quietly at Li Xiao’s side!

And as Li Xiao recalled the Qingshuang Sword,

Huang Yuan finally managed to stop.

He stood on a rooftop,

looked at the Qingshuang Sword hovering at Li Xiao’s side,

and let out a slow breath.

"Finally stopped, the feeling of having a sword chasing behind you is really uncomfortable!"

"That said, what exactly is going on with that sword, to be able to attack on its own!"

Huang Yuan had lived for so many years,

and had seen many swordsmen,

and encountered all sorts of strange swordsmanship,

but he had never encountered a sword that could attack on its own!

More importantly,

compared to when it was in its master’s hand,

after this sword left his hand and attacked on its own,

it was actually even stronger!

That is truly outrageous!
