Chapter 260: Secret Technique: Swallow Reversal? No, this isn't swordplay at all!

It's just... will this really not cause a conflict?

Liliana was somewhat skeptical about this, considering the personality of that Sect Leader Luo Hao.

Among the intelligence Liliana had gathered, it was said that the Sect Leader's personal disciple, Lu Yinghua, had even developed a severe case of misogyny due to Sect Leader Luo Hao's upbringing.

Especially once the plane arrived at Kowloon Airport and they disembarked.

Liliana looked at the dense crowd in the airport, consisting of at least a hundred old men wearing black martial arts uniforms with the character "Luo" printed on their chests, and her expression was vaguely twisted.

Is this what you call "not causing a conflict"?

How did Liliana get the feeling that all the Elders of the Demon Sect had come out in full force?

At this moment, Su Nian, who had walked out of the plane cabin and stood on the boarding stairs, looked at the sea of men in black below, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It really was just as Lily had predicted; it was indeed not going to be that smooth.

He had clearly come with sincerity.

After letting out a soft sigh in his heart, Su Nian said with a hint of mockery in his tone.

"Wow, is this a welcome for me?"

At this time, Lu Yinghua, dressed in a black martial arts outfit, stepped out from the crowd and cupped his hands in a salute.

"The entire Wuyue Sacred Sect pays respects to King Arthur!"

"The entire Wuyue Sacred Sect pays respects to King Arthur!"

More than a hundred old men with vigorous voices shouted in unison.

A profound formation directly connected everyone together, and vaguely, a giant tiger with snow-white fur and black markings seemed to be roaring in the sky.

A sense of inexplicable divine might seemed to permeate the surroundings.

A battle formation?

Su Nian raised his eyebrows in surprise, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Yinghua below.

"A bit interesting."

Can one only say it is worthy of the vast and resource-rich Tianchao? This is already no weaker than an average Subordinate God.

Of course, this refers to those Subordinate Gods summoned through the Gods Covenant, just like the Second Senior Brother and Third Junior Brother summoned by the Monkey God King.

But it is not weak either; at the very least, it has reached the level of a god.

"Is this the show of force you intend to give me?"

Su Nian said with some displeasure; there shouldn't have been any issues with the visiting card he sent, right?

He was truly and sincerely here to invite Luo Hao to deal with the matter of the Monkey God King together.

Hearing this, Lu Yinghua remained with his hands cupped and bowed as he spoke.

"Yinghua would not dare!"

"But if King Arthur intends to deal with my Master, then as a disciple, Yinghua can only stand before my Master."

"Although I don't know if you have misunderstood something."

The corners of Su Nian's mouth curled up slightly; he shifted his gaze from Lu Yinghua and looked at the eagle circling in the sky.

"But Luo Hao, aren't you going to come out and explain?"

Below, upon hearing Su Nian's words, Lu Yinghua's legs almost instinctively slid to the ground.

At this moment, the eagle circling in the sky suddenly stopped its movements and stomped Lu Yinghua directly into the concrete floor with one claw.

The entire scene suddenly went quiet, and then those old men in martial arts uniforms all knelt on one knee in unison, lowering their heads.

The eagle that had stepped on Lu Yinghua flapped its wings and spoke in human language.

"Interesting, to actually see through my transformation technique; it seems you are indeed not an incompetent person."

At this moment, the eagle's form shifted, and in an instant, it transformed into a stunning woman wearing white Hanfu with her hair braided into three plaits.

After appearing, the woman raised her eyebrows, her tone cold and arrogant.

"State your name, King Arthur; I, Luo Hao, never kill the Nameless."

"Arthur Pendragon."

The voice rang out softly beside her ear.

Luo Hao's pupils shrank slightly, and she turned her head to the right, looking at the face leaning on her shoulder, close at hand.

The Qi on her body, which had been condensed as one, suddenly collapsed at this moment.

And at this time, the corners of Su Nian's mouth curled up bit by bit, and he laughed softly.

"That is my name, so what is your name?"

The air solidified at this moment.

At this time, Su Nian, who was almost pressed against Luo Hao, narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the lotus-style hair ornament in his hand and his blocked left hand.

The back of his hand there was being blocked by a slender, jade-like elbow, preventing Su Nian's next move.

As for the source of the elbow, Su Nian raised his head and looked at Luo Hao with slight surprise.

"You actually blocked it? But it's a pity, I still got it."

Su Nian's mouth hooked into a smile as he shook the lotus-style hair ornament he held in his hand and said.

The old men kneeling on one knee were trembling; their spiritual senses perceived Su Nian's actions toward Luo Hao, yet they dared not make the slightest move.

This is flirting, right? This is definitely flirting, right? With the very first move, he took the Sect Leader's hair ornament.

But what shocked them even more was that their own Sect Leader had actually lost in terms of martial arts and failed to block Su Nian's attack.

If it was a hair ornament taken this time, would the next thing taken be... her life?

For a moment, dark clouds loomed over their hearts.

Hearing this, Luo Hao frowned, her eyebrows knitting together, and she said in a tone mixed with disgust.

"You are cheating; I clearly blocked it!"

Back when Su Nian leaned in and reached his sinful hand toward her hair ornament, he was met with a powerful elbow strike.

But for some reason, the hair ornament still ended up in Su Nian's hand.

Was it an Authority? But there was no fluctuation of Spell Power.

Luo Hao frowned.

Hearing this, Su Nian laughed instead, saying in a joking tone with a light chuckle.

"Stop being so narcissistic. If you had really blocked it, your hair ornament wouldn't be in my hand. Your skills are lacking, yet you have the nerve to talk."

Of course, the above was just a joke.

In fact, Luo Hao had truly blocked it, but Su Nian could not help but integrate his Space Authority into every aspect of his movements.

It had even reached the point of striking after the opponent but arriving first, reversing cause and effect.

He subconsciously used his Space Authority to take the hair ornament first, then struck out.

This was also the reason Scathach had been dissatisfied with him back then; after all, Su Nian's combat style had already formed, focusing on the treacherous and ever-changing nature of space, incorporating space control into his instincts.

Even though he had a powerful physique and excellent natural talent, making him good material, he had carved himself into a crooked shape, with each method more underhanded than the last.

Scathach was still very responsible, and her teachings were very helpful to Su Nian, specifically teaching him how to reduce the concealment of spatial fluctuations and integrate Space Authority into every move and stance of his instincts.

Making his attacks even more treacherous.

By the end of his training, even Scathach could not avoid being tricked by Su Nian a few times.

This trick of reversing cause and effect was learned that way, and in the end, Scathach refused to admit she was Su Nian's teacher.

She did not want Su Nian to ruin her reputation as a teacher of heroes.

Rarely, Luo Hao did not retort, but frowned and stared at Su Nian, almost writing the word "dissatisfied" on her face.

I'm dead, I'm dead... Master is truly angry this time.

Lu Yinghua, standing to the side, lowered his head in fear; he didn't dare to look at what would happen to Su Nian next.

The Martial Arts King was mocked for having poor martial arts; Lu Yinghua couldn't even imagine how angry Luo Hao would be.

Will I still be able to see this airport later? It's a good thing I arranged for the airport staff to evacuate in advance.

"Heh, then let me show you what it means to have lacking skills!"

Just then, with a boom, a sound like a muffled thunderclap erupted.

A fierce gale blew in.

Liliana was nearly blown away, but fortunately, Athena pulled her back.

Only then did she barely steady her figure, open her eyes, and look toward mid-air.

Clearly, Su Nian and Luo Hao had clashed.

However, apart from the abrupt circles of white air waves and dull roars in mid-air, one could not see the figure of either person at all.

"Ho, not bad martial arts, unexpectedly quite a bit better than mine."

Just hearing Su Nian's praise, Luo Hao's face turned even darker; she felt even more that Su Nian's words were mocking her.

She had already exhausted her full strength, but instead, her moves and such sank deeper and deeper; no matter what move she used, it would always be easily neutralized by Su Nian.

Su Nian was even using only one hand.

This made her, this leader who considered herself supreme, truly furious.

Even if she were crushed in terms of martial arts by someone, she would only feel that there were successors, but with such a dirty opponent, she only felt infuriated.

Rather than saying she was fighting Su Nian, it was more like she was being played around by Su Nian.

After the brief exchange, Luo Hao's figure appeared not far in front of Lu Yinghua, looking at Su Nian with a gloomy and ugly expression.

"No, your moves are wrong."

"What's wrong with them?"

Su Nian looked at Luo Hao with a half-smile, while another lotus-style hair ornament appeared in his hand.

"They are just wrong!"

Luo Hao frowned; she couldn't say where the problem was, but her intuition told her.

The exchange with Su Nian just now definitely had a problem.

Godspeed? Divine Footwork? Lightness skill? Shadowless technique? None of these were it.

"Since they are wrong, then say it out loud."

Su Nian picked his ear and said; this was the first time he had truly engaged in close combat with someone other than Scathach, and it was also the first time testing his combat tactics.

As far as it goes now, he was hiding the spatial fluctuations quite well; at least Luo Hao hadn't discovered anything unusual, right?

"You can't just be unreasonable, can you?"

If Luo Hao could really recognize the abnormality, Su Nian might be able to improve it further.

Through subtle spatial distortion and folding, he made Luo Hao unable to perceive any abnormality; in her eyes, there was no abnormality in sight, aura, or distance.

But in fact, through a certain degree of spatial interference, the place Luo Hao attacked was always his left hand.

Of course, it could also be Luo Hao herself, but that would be too easy to discover.

Su Nian didn't know any moves like Mirror Flower, Water Moon right now.

"Heh, what reason is there to talk to a heretic?"

Luo Hao paused here, took a slight breath, and exhaled two nasal sounds.

"Hmph! Ha!"

The heavy sound turned into a shockwave, directly overturning the plane not far away, and even the old men behind Luo Hao who were standing in horse stances to stabilize their footing were blown about.

Just then, behind Luo Hao, two Vajra warriors emerged from the void.

Those were two angry-eyed Vajras over six meters tall, with bulging muscles all over, and golden bodies, frowning and glaring.

"Are these the Heng and Ha generals you slew?"

Luo Hao did not respond, instead standing coldly to the side, keeping her mouth shut.

In contrast, the Heng and Ha Generals that had just manifested swung palms larger than Su Nian's head directly toward him.

The palm wind whipped up by the Heng and Ha Generals swept through the atmosphere, yet eerily produced no sound at all, instead condensing the atmosphere onto their palms to multiply their power.

"No way, you're getting anxious already?"

Su Nian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but laugh, then reached out and took the Silver Craftsman from Liliana's hand via Displacement.

"Watch closely, Lily, I am about to show you what the highest Boundary of swordsmanship is!"

"Secret Technique: Tsubame Gaeshi!"

In an instant, at the very same moment, it was as if countless sword flashes streaked by, transforming into an airtight giant net that cast itself toward Luo Hao.

"This is the supreme secret technique that transcends time and space to overlap countless sword strikes at the exact same moment!"

Liliana's eyes widened, and she fell into silence, looking with a bewildered expression at the countless sword flashes Su Nian had swung out with a single strike.

Is this... really a swordsmanship that a human can perform?

Athena's mouth twitched, and she looked helplessly at Liliana, reminding her in a low voice.

"What this guy is using isn't swordsmanship at all; don't let this guy lead you astray."

After hearing this, Liliana was silent for a moment; for some reason, she felt that Su Nian was not so reliable after all.

Athena had never even heard of anyone being able to use a sword to slash out a multi-dimensional refraction phenomenon.

Even if it could be slashed out, that was not something Su Nian could achieve.

Rather than calling this swordsmanship, it would be better to say that Su Nian forcibly molded such a phenomenon and manifested it using a sword.
