"Be careful!" The peak-level warrior sensed the power of this strike and shouted loudly, drawing his sword in response.
However, he was still a step too slow.
Casey's blade shattered the attack of the advanced-level warrior and plunged into his chest, sending a gush of blood splattering. The man opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. A stream of blood appeared at his waist, and then his body fell apart in two pieces. His face displayed an expression of disbelief. He had never expected Casey, who was at the same level, to possess such incredible strength.
"You damn well deserve it!" The remaining War Emperor peak-level warrior roared and swiftly spun his wrist, forming a razor-sharp net of sword strikes aimed at Casey.
Casey chose not to engage in a head-on clash and swiftly maneuvered to evade the attacks.
"Is dodging the only thing you know?" the man taunted him.
"Is that all the strength you have?" After parrying a few of the man's sword strikes, Casey continued, "Enough wasting time, show me your trump card, or you won't stand a chance!"
"You want to see my trump card? Then I'll oblige!" The man, losing patience after failing to break through Casey's defenses, unleashed his full power. His aura soared to its peak.
Next, he carved a mysterious pattern in the air with his sword, then with a flick of his wrist, he and his sword shot toward Casey like a speeding bullet, unstoppable. This move, in terms of both power and speed, was several levels above his previous attacks.
"Not bad, this is getting interesting!" Casey's eyes brightened as he sensed the power of his opponent's strike. He channeled his full strength and met the attack head-on.
Boom!
As a tremendous explosion echoed through the area, Casey was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, leaving a streak of blood in the air. After soaring several hundred feet and somersaulting in the air multiple times, he finally came to a stop.
"Prepare to die!" The man didn't intend to let up; he took a few steps forward and raised his hand for another strike.
"Sorry, but the one who's going to die is you!" Just as the man was about to strike, Casey sprang back to his feet from the ground. At this moment, his aura skyrocketed, far surpassing his previous levels. Clearly, he had already reached the peak of the War Emperor realm. He had lingered at the peak of War Emperor for some time, nearly touching the threshold of the next level on several occasions but always falling just short. He had deliberately provoked his opponent earlier, hoping to make one last gamble.
And it paid off. He successfully broke through to the peak of the War Emperor realm.
Whoosh!
