However, against Fane, those vines were absolutely nothing. They had been easily cut up by a single slash, forcing them to rapidly retreat. That was the distance between Fane and him!He had wondered how wide the gulf between him and those who were truly strong was. This was the first time he had clearly felt the difference. Lourain's breathing got erratic. At that moment, he was already completely free to move around. Other than the liquid on his face, he did not feel anything wrong with him.However, his heart went through a tremendous change. At that moment, he hated himself for being so weak. Just as he was thinking about it, Fane sent another slash over. However, he was not the target this time, but Marth. With another squelch, Lourain looked over to see the vines being cut through like butter. After regaining his freedom, Marth slumped on the ground.Earlier, Marth had spent all of his strength trying to deal with those vines to no avail. After regaining his freedom, Marth w
Marth took a deep breath and said, "It looks like we're just trash. Are those vines actually sentient? They know how to deal with the most difficult ones first. After that, both of us won't be able to run away. The vines are completely ignoring us. They're all only attacking Fane!" When he said that, he paused for a moment. He widened his eyes as if he just remembered something."I think I heard of Fane's name before. I just don't really remember it. If he hid his looks, could he be using a fake name too? If he didn't fake his name, I’d definitely heard of him before. However, I've never had a good memory. I really can't remember where I heard that name before."At that moment, Marth was stressing himself out. Fane's name was so important to him at that moment. He really wanted to know who Fane was. He wanted to know who that incredibly strong warrior who appeared was! Why was he so strong, and why had he not stepped into Violet City yet?Various thoughts surfaced in Marth's head.
"Have you said enough?" Fane's cold voice was heard behind him. Lourain stiffened and he quickly turned around only to see the vines that had surged upward earlier had all already been completely cut up. They were all on the ground.After the vines were cut up, they lost all ability to fight. They were writhing on the ground like snakes that had been cut up in the middle. Fane stood not far away from him.Fane's right hand still held the gray sword. The gray sword was dripping with green liquid. Lourain took a deep breath, suddenly finding himself unable to speak. Was it all over? They had managed to pass the stage?The fines were like badges on the ground that showed off Fane's excellence. In the whole Whirling World, Fane's skills were absolutely in the top five or even further in front than that. Warriors with that level of skill all stood at the top of the mountain, looking down on regular warriors.They would not bother with regular warriors or even those that were above avera
Right at that moment, all the vines on the ground no longer twisted around. The wounds suddenly glowed green. There was more and more green light coming from the wound. Slowly, all the vines dissipated into the air. Even the green liquid on Lourain's face turned into a green light and disappeared.Looking at that, Fane could not help but lament the fact that the hero who created this array must have been one of the greatest figures from ancient times. Those vines from earlier felt incredibly real. If he had not seen that, he would not have believed that the vines had merely been formed with energy.All of them looked at the scene in shock. Marth gulped and said, "If it was me facing the attacks from those vines, I probably wouldn't even last a second…"Lourain could not help but scoff at those words. He really wanted to viciously mock Marth. Marth could not even handle the black-iron difficulty, let alone the gold difficulty. It was just impossible. Fane did not dwell on the issue
Lourain could not take it anymore, "What's happening? Why is it one way one moment, and another way the next!"If it was just a pure attack, it would cause them to be fearful, but it would not torture them mentally. After all, they were not the main characters. Fane was the main target of the array, and they just happened to be there.However, the constant changes felt a bit unbearable. It was as if they had walked into an incredibly scary world where the two of them had lost all of their skills. It did not feel good at all. It was complete torture."Holy crap!" Marth suddenly cried out. Lourain looked over and saw that Marth's expression was quite twisted. His eyes were completely wide as if his eyeballs were going to pop out of their sockets.Lourain's expression stiffened, "What are you doing?! What are you shouting at?! Are you just trying to scare me?"He was actually incredibly terrified at the moment, but he still stubbornly tried to act otherwise. Marth took a deep breat
What was he supposed to do next? Was Fane not supposed to be the target? He was just tagging along for the ride, so why was he suddenly being treated the same way as Fane? He was suddenly facing a replica of himself too!Fane did not dwell on his thoughts like the other two were. The moment his replica walked out of the mirror, Fane immediately attacked!He constantly formed seals that flew in the air. They fuse, and the Broken Soul Blade appeared in front of Fane.The moment Fane moved, the replica started to move the same way as well. It started to form the same seals as Fane, and it created the exact same Broken Soul Blade.When Fane saw that, even Fane had to raise an eyebrow. The copy could use Soul Sky as well. It was too shocking. However, he did not think too much about it at that moment. No matter how many tricks the replica had, the array would be broken through as long as he dealt with his opponent!He pushed forward, and the Broken Soul Blade launched ahead. He wante
Facing his clone really did feel like looking into a mirror. Even their movements were exactly the same. Fane was suddenly a little caught off guard. The metal and wood attribute arrays had been equally challenging, but Fane had not stumbled at all, maintaining his calm the whole time.That was because Fane could figure out how to get past the array for both the earlier challenges. However, the water attribute killing array left Fane lost. The clone could use his own techniques, and the power behind the techniques was equal to his. He was strong, but the clone was just as strong as he was. If that was the case, then he was completely stuck. If he fought his opponent in an intense fight, then both sides would end up heavily injured. Fane was not even sure if his clone could actually get injured.After all, that was a clone made out of the water attribute. It was not a real person. Ever since he entered the Whirling World, he had never been caught off guard before. He was in a comple
After all, this problem he was facing did not seem like it was possible to overcome at all. Even if Fane was incredibly skilled, he could not stop himself from panicking. Just as he was thinking about it, his clone suddenly shot forward. The clone was holding the gray sword in hand, and the soul attribute was frantically surging around the sword.Fane could clearly feel the power of the Broken Soul Blade behind it. The clone must have used the Broken Soul Blade while Fane was distracted, merging the technique with the sword. The slash that was coming at Fane contained incredible energy.If Lourain was the one standing there, he would probably not even be able to move after the energy locked into him. After all, Soul Sky was already at the storm god rank. Normal warriors were not able to handle it at all.Fane suddenly felt like the situation was unique. He had only ever used the Broken Soul Blade on his enemies before. He had never felt how it was to be locked into the Broken Soul B
