Chapter 737: Chapter 0737: If You Seek Death, You Can’t Blame Me
Facing the arrogant and conceited Ye Xunhuan, Antonio immediately snorted coldly and fiercely reached for the flames around him with both hands.
The next moment, a strange force suddenly emerged.
As Antonio grasped, he indeed caught the flames in his hands. The flames began to leap within the palm of his hands, not only appearing very eerie but also making Antonio seem like a deity, a deity in charge of the flames!
"Fireball technique, go!"
As he spoke, Antonio tossed the leaping fireball from his hand towards Ye Xunhuan.
Once thrown, the fireball rolled and grew like a snowball, becoming even more ferocious. It swept up all the flames in its path.
Ye Xunhuan’s expression slowly turned grave upon witnessing this eerie scene.
He could clearly feel how terrifying Antonio’s attack was and the immense power of the flames.
As the growing fireball was about to crush Ye Xunhuan, he rapidly slashed out with his blade, which was emitting bursts of cold light!
"Swish!"
With one slash, a silver-white light appeared, striking the fireball like lightning! 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
"Boom!"
The fireball, as if containing explosives, was split in two by Ye Xunhuan’s sword, yet it let out a thunderous, deafening noise!
Suddenly, before Ye Xunhuan could sheathe his sword, Antonio appeared in front of him as if he had stepped through fire, with a glittering golden dagger now in his right hand, swiftly slashing towards Ye Xunhuan.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Instantly, Ye Xunhuan felt enveloped by a dark and oppressive aura of death, almost instinctively dodging to the side.
"Swish!"
With Ye Xunhuan dodging, Antonio’s slashing dagger missed, striking the flames instead.
Under the burning of the flames, the originally glittering golden dagger suddenly turned sinister, not just shimmering with a golden glow but also with a hint of blood red, giving off a chilling feeling.
It was as if this dagger did not belong to the human world but was brought from hell by a demon.
Seeing the dagger in Antonio’s hands, the solemn expression on Ye Xunhuan’s face deepened.
Demon Blade Firefall!
The Demon Blade Firefall is one of the world’s ten most sinister blades. It’s said that a wound inflicted by this blade cannot heal, and it will cause its victim to bleed to death.
Initially, Antonio had chosen the Firefall to duel with Ye Xunhuan, and now he was attacking straightaway with it, clearly aiming for Ye Xunhuan’s life.
Seeing the Firefall in Antonio’s hands, Ye Xunhuan immediately became fully alert, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
"Marshal, you dodge quite fast!" Antonio stared intensely at Ye Xunhuan, his sapphire-like eyes no longer serene. They were like a hawk’s, filled with sinister and vicious hues.
"Your skills in a sneak attack are rather mediocre," Ye Xunhuan jeered.
"Is that so?"
Before his words even fell, Antonio’s Firefall flashed and he immediately swung out three slashes. Each slash cut through the flames in front of him, splitting them as neatly as a machine slicing a wooden board!
Ye Xunhuan saw the situation and hastily swung out three swords!
The blade energy and Sword Qi collided together, directly generating a strong impact force as if two tidal waves on the sea were heavily crashing into each other. The immense impact caused the surrounding flames to immediately shake violently!
Having just blocked Antonio’s three strikes, Ye Xunhuan hadn’t even had time to catch his breath when six Fireballs merged together mid-air to form a ring of fire, rapidly moving towards him.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Xunhuan’s eyes instantly narrowed, and a cold light shot out from them!
"Heaven Mandate Sword!"
As soon as Ye Xunhuan spoke, his aura began to wildly increase as if it had no upper limit, surging crazily. In just an instant, Ye Xunhuan’s presence had become extremely daunting.
The Heaven Mandate Sword was the most powerful sword technique within the Great Mysterious Classic, representing Unity of Heaven and Man—"I am the Heaven, and the Heaven is me!"
"Swoosh!"
The Longsword slashed out, and the flames beside Ye Xunhuan were doused as if a bucket of cold water was suddenly thrown on them, not only immediately extinguishing the nearby flames but also, like a meteor falling swiftly from the sky, the sword flashed and disappeared, too fast for anyone to see clearly!
"Boom!"
The cold light directly dispersed the ring of fire formed by the Fireballs in front of it, and the fierce Sword Qi, still carrying an unstoppable force, hurtled towards Antonio.
Upon seeing this, Antonio’s complexion changed drastically, and a hint of unease and unrest slowly emerged in his eyes!
He could distinctly feel the terrifying power contained in this sword strike, and if it hit him, even if it wouldn’t kill him, he would be severely injured!
The next moment, before Antonio could dodge, a thunderous sword strike had already arrived, confronting him head-on.
Almost instinctively, Antonio swung out his demon blade, Fire Meteor!
"Bang!"
A loud, dull sound suddenly erupted; then, Antonio was seen uncontrollably retreating backward, his face filled with pain.
If this scene were witnessed by outsiders, they would definitely think they had seen a ghost—or else, there was simply no explanation.
Or perhaps, they would think this was part of a TV series!
Only such a scene would appear on special effects in television screens.
Having just steadied himself, Antonio felt his internal organs churning tumultuously, and simultaneously, a taste of blood surged to his throat!
However, Antonio forcefully suppressed it and swallowed the blood back into his stomach.
Although Antonio swallowed the blood back down, he was already injured—and severely so.
Ye Xunhuan had made him spit blood, but he did not let it out and instead swallowed the blood back into his stomach, effectively reversing the flow of blood.
It would be strange if his injuries were not severe!
Ye Xunhuan looked at Antonio’s pale face, showing no trace of triumph but only solemnity.
Antonio was one of the ten great overlords; his strength should not be underestimated by anyone.
If he underestimated him, he might well be the one to end up dead.
"Antonio, you shouldn’t have come looking for me," Ye Xunhuan said coldly, "But since you seek death, you can blame no one but yourself!"
