Chapter 1402

The next second—Boom!!!

With a tremendous crash, Adian's great axe smashed a crater into the ground, and shards of stone flew into the faces of the surrounding onlookers.

Immediately, a few unlucky bystanders had their heads cracked open and bleeding; the rest, seeing this, decisively retreated several more steps without hesitation.

They had no choice—when immortals fight, it's thrilling for a moment, but mortals are the ones who suffer.

Moonlight Dance!

The crescent blade in her hand swept out in a flash. Bai Susu, who had already put distance between herself and Adian, took a single step that seemed like teleportation, instantly appearing behind him, and brought her sword down in a vicious slash.

"Piercing Radiance!"

Hiss!

Though the armor wasn't a spirit-grade defensive armor, it was still extremely thick. This sword strike not only shattered the armor but the blade also sank deep into flesh, sending blood spraying.

"Aaaah! Blood—let it make me forget the madness!"

Though the madness in his eyes had faded somewhat, the pain only made Adian stronger!

Hah!

He swung the spirit-grade great axe in an instant, hacking backward.

"Such fast reaction?"

By the time Bai Susu reacted, the axe blade was already at her face; she raised the sword in her hand to block in front of her!

Boom!

The terrifying force erupted with a tremendous shockwave.

Amid the blast, a white figure was sent flying backward, slamming into the wall of a street-facing house before finally coming to a stop.......

At the window of a second-floor private room.

"Is the boss going to lose?" Gong Bailiu's eyes openly showed undisguised worry.

Not only the members of the Bai Heng Mercenary Group beside him thought so—even Lin Cheng, and Li Jian, who was resting in private room number one, felt the same.

Bai Susu's abilities were more prominently displayed in her graceful movement techniques; her nimble footwork made it hard for enemies to hit her, wearing them down over time. Yet her opponent was an out-and-out power-attack type warrior—the two were separated by a world of difference.

A direct clash could only end in defeat.

"Unless…"

Lin Cheng started to speak, then stopped, his eyes unusually calm.

Even if Adian truly worked himself into a frenzy, he would step in at the critical moment.

"Unless what?" Gong Bailiu turned to Lin Cheng and pressed.

"That depends on Bai Susu's own resolve."

In Lin Cheng's eyes, even among inheritors who had received the legacy of heroic spirits, there were vast differences between them.

Bai Susu had once used the legacy orb to receive Luna's inheritance, but she had always lacked a trial—Luna's true abilities had yet to be brought out by her.

Adian, on the other hand, had passed Dian Wei's trial and obtained his true power—like that mad dog in the canyon, he hacked at anyone in sight, his burst capability terrifyingly fierce; especially Dian Wei in pure damage output, even at a thread of HP he could instantly refill to full.

Even if Bai Susu passed the trial, each would still have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Not to mention that right now Bai Susu had not passed Luna's trial, so her abilities naturally couldn't be truly displayed.

"What should she do? Admit defeat, or awaken?"

Lin Cheng murmured, then turned and left.

At this time, the city guards would be arriving soon too—he had to go stall for a bit.
