"To think that the sword techniques are exactly the same. Is this fate, or some kind of 'inevitability'?"
Seeing that "Brain" used the same sword techniques as the ones Chu Yun had taught him, Ye Ling couldn't help but fall into thought, his mind starting to wander.
After all, the Mother Worm had suddenly appeared when he was campaigning against "Brain," and Chu Yun had been trapped within the Mother Worm, isolated from the world.
Now, the Seed of Rules on Chu Yun, along with that mysterious sword technique, seemed to be the key to everything, and both could exert immense effects in this battle against "Brain."
The Seed of Rules hid great secrets, and Chu Yun happened to know "Brain's" sword techniques…
This series of events was almost like getting a pillow when one was sleepy for Ye Ling!
Although Ye Ling had voluntarily befriended Chu Yun and considered her a trustworthy ally, the timing of their meeting was too coincidental, making Ye Ling suspect that there was some hidden force pushing things from behind the scenes.
"Ye Ling, you dare to be distracted while fighting me? You are truly arrogant to the extreme!"
"Brain's" cold snort pierced Ye Ling's ears. Ye Ling snapped back to attention, only to see "Brain's" black sword already before him, about to pierce his eyes!
Without any hesitation, Ye Ling used his agile footwork to evade "Brain's" attack, then used the same sword technique to stab at "Brain"!
"You this!"
Seeing Ye Ling suddenly unleash the same sword technique as him, "Brain's" pupils contracted slightly. His heart was greatly shaken, and he could only hastily defend against Ye Ling's offense.
Ye Ling seized this opportunity to turn the tide, specifically targeting "Brain's" weaknesses.
"Impossible… You learned this entire sword technique just by watching me?"
Seeing Ye Ling skillfully employ the same sword technique as him, even discerning all its flaws, "Brain" was filled with disbelief. His sword technique not only required specific movements but also precise control of qi circulation, breathing, and even every muscle!
This sword technique was almost impossible to learn just by watching!
Ye Ling had no intention of revealing the truth to "Brain." Instead, he smiled at "Brain" and said, "Your clumsy sword technique? I can learn it just by looking at it. Is there anything surprising about that?"
"Clumsy sword technique?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, "Brain's" eyes instantly turned red, and he roared, "You have no idea of the subtlety of this sword technique! What you use only has the form, not the essence! I will show you what the Sword of Void truly is!"
*Buzz!*
As "Brain" finished speaking, a strange power erupted from within him again. His entire demeanor changed, and all the flaws around him vanished.
"Is 'Brain' entering the second stage of the Sword of Void?"
Seeing the change in "Brain's" aura, Ye Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and he dared not be careless.
From the nameless sword technique he obtained from Chu Yun, he knew that the sword technique "Brain" used was divided into three stages, with a qualitative change occurring at each stage.
Upon entering the third stage, even an ordinary person could cleave through the Chaos Barrier with a single sword.
However, the three stages of the Sword of Void used the same sword techniques, and Chu Yun did not know how to enter the next stage. She only speculated that the power of the Sword of Void might be related to one's state of mind.
Although Ye Ling belittled "Brain's" sword technique with his words, he inwardly acknowledged its exquisiteness. The value of this sword technique was no less than that of the Great Transformation Heaven Calculation Art!
"Ye Ling, behold my sword!"
"Brain" roared. He remained in his original position, yet the Mirror Domain of Causality around Ye Ling was cleaved open, and a large gash appeared across his chest!
"What is this!"
Seeing that he had been injured before "Brain" had even made a move, Ye Ling was stunned. He immediately observed his future and found that "Brain" had not made any further moves.
"Like other monsters of the void's dark side, 'Brain' attacked my past?"
Ye Ling had encountered similar situations before and did not panic. While healing his injuries, he reviewed his past, searching for traces of "Brain."
However, strangely, Ye Ling did not see any trace of "Brain" in his past memories.
"Not in the past, nor in the future, then my injury must have occurred in the present. How did 'Brain' do it?"
A hint of confusion flickered in Ye Ling's eyes. He looked at "Brain," who was holding the black sword. At this moment, a subtle curve appeared on "Brain's" lips, and then Ye Ling's left arm was severed!
Ye Ling's pupils contracted sharply!
Something is wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Ye Ling stared intently at the motionless "Brain," cold sweat beading on his forehead, his mind racing.
For a fleeting moment, Ye Ling felt an extreme sense of discomfort, as if something had happened, but he had forgotten it.
"Is this the effect of the Sword of Void?"
Ye Ling reviewed the sword techniques in his mind again but found no clues.
Although he had obtained the sword technique, in this extremely short period, he could only learn its superficial aspects, which was the first stage of the Sword of Void.
Under such circumstances, he could not comprehend what "Brain" had done!
A large amount of Creation Power surged out, quickly repairing Ye Ling's severed arm. However, as soon as Ye Ling's injuries were mended, his sword-wielding wrist was also severed!
"The Mirror Domain of Causality cannot reflect it, the future has not occurred, the past has not been eroded, and 'Brain' has not moved until now. How did he attack me?"
Ye Ling's thoughts were in disarray. However, he knew that waiting to die was not an option. He immediately grasped the Sword of Original Text again, used Absolute Divine Movement to teleport in front of "Brain," and swung his sword at him!
However, just as Ye Ling's sword fell, his body was again cut in half at the waist, and "Brain" had, at some unknown time, appeared in another location!
"How did he get there?" Seeing that "Brain" had already appeared elsewhere while he was still severely injured, Ye Ling's heart was tossed by a stormy sea!
He had not even seen "Brain's" movement clearly!
And Ye Ling, who possessed Absolute Divine Movement, could confirm that "Brain" had not used any teleportation means. It was as if "Brain" was supposed to be there all along!
"Ye Ling, did you see clearly… This is the ability of the Sword of Void!"
"Brain" looked at Ye Ling coldly, assumed his stance again, and said, "Next, prepare to meet your death!"
As "Brain's" voice fell, Ye Ling also did not foresee anything. Yet, a bloodstain appeared on his neck!
*Screech!!!*
Blood spurted from Ye Ling's neck, and at that moment, Ye Ling was decapitated!
