Chapter 559 - 551: But What She Thought Was Only What She Thought
The Sword Qi unleashed by Shen Han was completely different from others.
Sikong Miaomiao, thinking she had comprehended some power of laws, believed that she could not be defeated by anyone who wasn’t a renowned expert.
But this time, the Sword Qi directly met her saber’s edge.
The so-called majesty of saber momentum, at this moment, was entirely ineffective.
The same saber momentum exhibited different results when facing Shen Han and Shen Ye.
Recklessly trying to block this Sword Qi, Sikong Miaomiao felt her blood surge.
Fortunately, her Horse-Cutting Saber blocked it, or she might have been injured.
Sidestepping, Sikong Miaomiao gave up on fighting the Sword Qi head-on.
After choosing to evade, she finally felt a bit relieved.
However, after just one exchange, Sikong Miaomiao already sensed something was amiss.
Her heart felt somewhat oppressed.
Looking at Shen Han, she speculated in her heart that this might be Shen Han’s strongest move.
Outside the Martial Arts Arena, ordinary folks watched the spectacle, seeing nothing remarkable.
But the experts had already noticed something was off.
It seemed that Sikong Miaomiao had a hard time handling those Sword Qi just now.
In a flash, Sikong Miaomiao moved again.
Her blood slightly surged, adding a bit more momentum than before.
Dragging the Horse-Cutting Saber in her hand, a majestic force seemed to be steadily building up.
Facing the Sword Qi swaying from Shen Han’s hand, this time, Sikong Miaomiao opted to dodge.
The momentum of her Horse-Cutting Saber grew ever fiercer.
Many saw this saber technique for the first time and didn’t expect such a move.
The sharp sound of dragging transformed into a muffled one.
It seemed as if the saber in Sikong Miaomiao’s hand was gradually becoming heavier.
Surges of Sword Qi rushed towards Sikong Miaomiao.
She no longer carried the same arrogance.
The continuous stream of Sword Qi threatened to sap her strength and energy just to break one.
Yet when Shen Han unleashed these Sword Qi, it appeared as if it cost him nothing.
Seeing the unavoidable Sword Qi ahead,
for a moment, Sikong Miaomiao gritted her teeth and leapt into the air.
The overwhelming pressure accumulated in her Horse-Cutting Saber was released in an instant.
This strike was enough to terrify the drifting clouds.
The clouds in the void appeared as if they had been cleaved, revealing a wound.
On the edge of the Martial Arts Arena, several experts had begun to ready their defenses to prevent this strike from injuring the onlookers.
Dean Tianyi was closely watching.
In the moment he prepared to intervene, Luo Changping was also watching him.
But they all overestimated the power of this strike.
As the saber momentum approached, Shen Han remained calm, casually sending out a few streams of Sword Qi.
Just these Sword Qi were enough to counter the saber momentum of her strike.
Sikong Miaomiao thought she comprehended the power of laws enough to walk invincibly among her peers.
Unfortunately, Shen Han had long comprehended the power of laws too.
Furthermore, Shen Han’s understanding of the power of laws was deeper and more formidable than Sikong Miaomiao’s.
Attempting to suppress Shen Han with the power of laws proved entirely futile.
This strike that even split the sky’s clouds didn’t bring much trouble to Shen Han.
Not only did it cause little trouble, but the Sword Qi unleashed by Shen Han also left Sikong Miaomiao struggling.
Attempting to evade these Sword Qi was extremely arduous for her.
As she panted heavily, Shen Han frowned, looking at her coldly.
“Indeed, you shouldn’t be compared with her, you’re not worthy.”
Sikong Miaomiao originally thought she had the upper hand, but now she appeared somewhat disheveled.
Shen Han’s follow-up only embarrassed her further.
She looked down on Shi Yuezhu and refused to be compared with her by others.
But now…
Moreover, the Shen Han, whom she deemed useless, was far more formidable than she imagined.
The surrounding citizens in the capital were standing with Shen Han.
Shen Han once brought glory to Great Wei; calling him a hero of Great Wei was not an overstatement.
The entire scenario was launched by Sikong Miaomiao’s unjustified accusations, Shen Han hadn’t spoken against her at all before.
Seeing Sikong Miaomiao at a loss filled many onlookers with delight.
Simultaneously, many also cast glances at Shen Ye.
“This Sikong Miaomiao who defeated Shen Ye isn’t much after all~”
“Indeed, lots of bluster, little strength, hahaha~”
Amid the chatter, taunts directed at Sikong Miaomiao began to increase.
The populace was straightforward by nature, never favoring her.
Now that she’s lost, it would be surprising if they didn’t mock her.
In the Martial Arts Arena, Shen Han didn’t wait for Sikong Miaomiao to regain her composure.
He casually sent out several streams of Sword Qi once more.
“Shen Han probably hasn’t used his full strength yet; he hasn’t even displayed his Full Sky Sword Shadows technique.”
“Yes, I remember that too.”
The onlookers continued their analysis, though not quite accurately.
Sikong Miaomiao, who had comprehended the power of laws, was of no interest to Shen Han for a Sword Shadow attack.
That would be a complete waste of energy.
The casually unleashed Sword Qi was already enough to inflict misery upon her.
Faced with wave after wave of incoming Sword Qi, Sikong Miaomiao’s eyes seemed to flash a shade of blood.
Previously, she hadn’t used her full strength either.
Now, her true power was about to show.
At the next moment, two Horse-Cutting Sabers appeared again in Sikong Miaomiao’s hand.
She then threw them into the void above.
Her mind focused, and at this moment, she alone was controlling three sabers.
The entire Martial Arts Arena was filled with the sound of dragging sabers.
The sound was sharp at first, but as the pressure built up, it gradually became dull.
The two Horse-Cutting Sabers were controlled by her mind, and Sikong Miaomiao held one in her hand as well.
If this were simply splitting into three, it would indeed underestimate Sikong Miaomiao.
The three Horse-Cutting Sabers seemed to be forming some kind of formation, launching a surprise attack on Shen Han.
The air around them seemed to grow heavy because of these sword momentums.
Those who were slightly closer even felt as if their whole bodies were being pressed down by a heavy object.
Dean Tianyi frowned deeply, as he did not expect that Great Wei still had a young genius like Sikong Miaomiao.
Only now has Shen Han returned to Great Wei, and no one knows how well his body has recovered.
Seeing the terrifying sword momentum in the Martial Arts Arena, it seemed to engulf Shen Han.
Dean Tianyi’s frown tightened even more.
“You are much stronger than I imagined, but unfortunately, I still dislike you, still look down on you.”
Speaking softly, Sikong Miaomiao didn’t care whether Shen Han heard her or not, she was already ready to strike.
Suddenly, Shen Han seemed to lightly point a finger, and two small black shadows leapt out from his side.
Shen Han thought to himself, it’s been a while since he let his divine soul out for a stroll.
The two small black shadows held swords in their hands, and surprisingly, they even seemed a bit cute.
Sikong Miaomiao smiled slightly, seemingly dismissive of the two divine souls.
But in the next moment, the two small black shadows directly shattered the two Horse-Cutting Sabers she controlled.
The encircling momentum that was initially formed was instantly broken.
In a flash, before Sikong Miaomiao’s neck, a sword blade was already pressed against her.
The originally dull pressure completely disappeared at this moment.
The outcome of the duel was already clear.
The Sikong Miaomiao who had defeated Shen Ye, lost just like that…
Lost seemingly all too easily.
To the onlookers, it seemed that Shen Han hadn’t even exerted his full strength.
With just a wave of his hand, those sword qis defeated Sikong Miaomiao.
And this incredibly arrogant Sikong Miaomiao, was now somewhat dumbfounded.
She couldn’t understand why she lost.
Those strange and peculiar two black shadows were unexpectedly powerful beyond her imagination.
The two Horse-Cutting Sabers, controlled by her mind, were effortlessly destroyed by Shen Han’s two black shadows.
The people of Great Wei had never witnessed the strength of the divine soul.
In the realm of cultivation, the divine soul was the most valued path for practitioners.
The power of the divine soul could even surpass the user’s body strength.
The entire Martial Arts Arena was incredibly quiet, and all the previous doubts about Shen Han vanished without a trace at this moment.
Sikong Miaomiao initially spoke boastfully, saying that her action against Shen Ye seemed like helping Shen Han.
Luo Changping also said that Shen Han didn’t dare to confront Shen Ye, only dared to fight Sikong Miaomiao, fearing Shen Ye’s deadly move.
But now, did Shen Han need help? Did he need to be afraid?
The Great Wei’s citizens all knew about the title dispute two years ago.
That time, Shen Han had already defeated Shen Ye.
From the present perspective, Shen Han had no reason to fear his elder brother Shen Ye in the slightest.
In the silently quiet Martial Arts Arena, Shen Han looked up at Sikong Miaomiao.
“She is far more outstanding than you imagined, and her nature is not as bothersome as yours.
It is your honor to be mentioned alongside her name.”
Shen Han spoke without specifying who she was.
But how could Sikong Miaomiao not understand?
She looked embarrassed, but still had a hint of defiance.
Seeing Shen Han sheathe his sword, preparing to return to the crowd from Tianyi Academy.
Sikong Miaomiao took a step forward: “It was my lack of vigilance just now, Shen Han, do you dare to duel me again?”
Upon hearing this, the onlookers couldn’t remain silent.
“Nonsense, if you lose once, do you expect to duel a second time?”
“If you keep losing and dueling, will it not last a year?”
The crowd didn’t spare Sikong Miaomiao, their words full of ridicule.
Hearing this, Sikong Miaomiao’s face turned red as a beet, yet she stubbornly refused to concede.
“Do you dare?”
Shen Han turned to glance at her, lifting his sword as he walked forward.
Seeing this, Sikong Miaomiao also raised her Horse-Cutting Long Saber.
This time, Shen Han wasted no time, countless sword shadows appeared in the void.
Instantly, they shattered into star points, attaching to his long sword.
The momentum of sword and man unity, supplemented by the power of laws.
In Sikong Miaomiao’s heart, she thought to herself that this time she would respond well, not daring to repeat her previous oversight.
But as she just raised her Horse-Cutting Saber, Shen Han’s sword edge was already upon her.
Compared to before, Shen Han’s long sword was several times faster.
Even Sikong Miaomiao felt that something was amiss.
With her long saber held horizontally, she seemed to attempt to block Shen Han’s sword technique.
But at the moment the sabers and swords clashed, Sikong Miaomiao’s Horse-Cutting Saber couldn’t withstand it at all.
There were no flashy moves, just a straightforward clash.
And with such a head-on confrontation, Sikong Miaomiao couldn’t resist at all.
She thought her defeat was largely due to her own underestimation.
But what she thought, was merely what she thought.
