Chapter 662: Easily Suppressed

"Ding, ding, ding—"

The Long sword in Lingyun's hand clashed continuously with the Light Swords of several AST members; amidst the splashing sparks, the AST members surrounding Lingyun all had their expressions shift slightly, and they retreated several steps in succession.

The moment their Light Swords collided with the Long sword in Lingyun's hand, they all felt a massive force transmitted from the blade, a massive force that made them almost unable to hold onto their Light Swords.

"This Spirit, why is it so troublesome?" Kusakabe Ryoko gripped her Light Sword, staring intently at Lingyun.

"Captain, get out of the way!" Just at this moment, a voice came.

After hearing this voice, Kusakabe Ryoko's figure instantly dodged to the side. The AST members responsible for long-range fire support had already changed their equipment; the guns in their hands instantly spat tongues of fire, and countless bullets wrapped in magic surged toward Lingyun's direction.

Lingyun flicked the rapier in his left hand, instantly waving it into a blur. The tip of the rapier collided with the bullet heads, exploding into countless sparks. Under his lightning-fast Sword Skill, the bullets fired at Lingyun were actually all deflected in an instant. Under Lingyun's intentional guidance, the deflected bullets actually flew toward the AST members surrounding him.

"Ah—"

The AST members around Lingyun let out startled cries one after another; if not for the presence of a Territory around them, they would have long since been wounded by the splashing stray bullets.

Taking advantage of the time Lingyun was blocking the bullets, Tobiichi Origami let out a frantic scream, and the Light Sword in her hand thrust fiercely toward Lingyun's body.

Lingyun's expression remained unchanged, and he swung the Long sword in his right hand, letting it land lightly on Tobiichi Origami's Light Sword. Although it was a seemingly light blow, it brought a huge impact to Tobiichi Origami. The massive force transmitted from the Long sword caused the Territory around her body to emit a shrill wail, and her body was sent flying backward under this massive force, crashing heavily into the wall.

"Boom—" The wall shattered instantly, and Tobiichi Origami dragged her Light Sword as she rushed out from the smoke and dust, her Light Sword once again aimed at Lingyun.

The AST members providing fire support from afar discovered that their attacks were almost completely ineffective against Lingyun and, on the contrary, were causing trouble for their own companions, so they also abandoned the long-range attack method, drew their Light Swords, and rushed toward Lingyun.

"This battle situation is so bizarre!"

On the Fraxinus, Itsuka Kotori looked at the battle on the screen and couldn't help but frown.

"That's right, I also feel it's very strange!" Even Itsuka Shido, who was a novice, blurted out such a sentence while watching the battle footage.

"Battle—to call this situation a battle, it would be better to call it a game. This unknown Spirit seems to have been using his superb swordsmanship to toy with these AST members from beginning to end." Kannazuki Kyouhei's tone also became uncharacteristically serious.

"He's only using swordsmanship? You aren't joking, are you!" Itsuka Shido on the side couldn't help but exclaim.

"Kannazuki, you aren't joking, are you!" Itsuka Kotori also asked with a frown.

"Could it be that you've forgotten? This unknown Spirit hasn't used Spirit Power from beginning to end! He was able to create such a massive Spacequake before, and then later contain this powerful Spacequake without causing any destruction. For a Spirit possessing such ability, don't you think it's a bit of a joke to say he only knows simple swordsmanship?" Murasame Reine, who had been in a dazed state, became uncharacteristically clear-headed at this moment.

"Putting it that way, it doesn't seem wrong!" Hearing her analyst say this, Itsuka Kotori also couldn't help but ponder. "It seems we need to increase our level of vigilance toward this Spirit!"

Above the skyscraper, the Long sword in Lingyun's hand danced as he moved among the many AST members, the collisions between the Light Swords and the Long sword erupting into sparks like scattered stars.

"Damn it, this Spirit, why is he so bizarre!"

After being blasted away once again by a seemingly light sword strike, Kusakabe Ryoko's tone also became irritable. She had a faint feeling that she and her people were currently being toyed with by this Spirit!

The sword in this Spirit's hand was truly too strange; every time it clashed with the Light Sword in her hand, she could feel a massive force surging toward her body, causing her to involuntarily fly backward, knocked away just like a rubber ball. Most importantly, this kind of power seemed to be able to completely ignore the Territory on her body, which left her completely at a loss as to how to deal with the opponent's slashes.

Among them, the one for whom this situation was most severe was undoubtedly Tobiichi Origami. Her attacks on Lingyun were the most frantic, and she received the most counterattacks. Her forehead was already full of sweat; this was caused by the massive consumption of physical strength.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo—"

Tobiichi Origami panted heavily, her hands gripping the Light Sword tightly, her eyes staring fixedly at Lingyun; under the condition of massive physical exhaustion, even she had to start conserving her strength.

"Truly a resilient person," Lingyun's gaze fell on Tobiichi Origami, and he nodded slightly.

Having repelled the surrounding AST members once again, Lingyun gave the Long sword in his hand a light flick. Although he had only been fighting for a short while, he already had a thorough understanding of the Spirit Power currently within his body.

"Well, the game is about to end!" Lingyun's figure flashed, instantly breaking out of the encirclement of the many AST members.

"Game over?"

Hearing this sentence, both Tobiichi Origami and Kusakabe Ryoko felt a shock in their hearts; could it be that the battle just now was merely a game to this Spirit?

Lingyun slowly raised the Long sword in his hand, aiming it at the AST members in front of him. Seeing this scene, Kusakabe Ryoko felt a tightness in her heart; if the battle just now was truly a game to this unknown Spirit, then they were in danger now.

"Full firepower launch!"

Under the immense pressure, Kusakabe Ryoko shouted angrily, and a cloud of white smoke instantly burst from her Tactical Realizer, almost obscuring her figure. Countless small Missiles shot out from the Tactical Realizer on her body, surging toward Lingyun's direction. At the same time, the other AST members also launched all the small Missiles they were carrying. Countless Missiles covered the sky and the earth, surging toward Lingyun's direction.

Lingyun's gaze turned stern, and his figure instantly turned into a blur, passing through the group of Missiles.

Countless sparks bloomed in the sky in an instant; the small Missiles released by the AST members were actually all destroyed in an instant.

"Full defense!"

Watching Lingyun break through all the small Missiles with such ease, Kusakabe Ryoko's heart sank even further; she suddenly realized that the opponent had been fighting them until now, yet seemed to have not even used any Spirit Power!

"Click—"

Behind Lingyun, Zafkiel appeared once again, and then, the moving second hand stopped abruptly. The moment the second hand stopped, the entire world turned gray-white. In this gray-white world, everything stopped, and the only person capable of moving was Lingyun.

Lingyun's figure flashed within this gray-white world, swinging a sword at every AST member. As for the Territory around these AST members, to Lingyun, it was as good as non-existent. After finishing all this, Lingyun flashed back to the top of the skyscraper. Subsequently, the second hand began to turn again, and the time of this world began to flow once more.

In the eyes of others, a Lingyun appeared in front of every AST member, thrusting a sword at them. Then these figures all disappeared, and Lingyun's figure appeared once again on the top of the skyscraper.

"Ho, how could this be?" Kusakabe Ryoko's eyes were full of astonishment; she clearly felt the sensation of her body being pierced, and immediately after, she felt everything go black before her eyes, and she plummeted downward.

The AST members flying in the sky fell to the ground like dumplings into a pot. If not for the fact that the Territory on their bodies was still in effect, falling from such a height would have definitely been enough to turn them into meat paste.

Seeing the AST members land on the ground, Lingyun's figure also quietly vanished into the darkness.

"One, one-hit kill?" On the Fraxinus, Itsuka Kotori almost bit her new lollipop in half.
