*Clang!*
Bair Yohren did not retreat nor dodge. He propped up his supreme-grade sword with both arms and retaliated with a backhand slash!
The sound of metal clashing overwhelmed the crowd's exclamations while silencing all their previous doubts.
Bright bluish-white energy shone beneath Bair Yohren's blood-colored robes as his inner energy gushed forth, emanating a thick bloody stench and almost materializing his killing intent.
However, Bair Yohren did not have any advantage against Aiden's slash!
"[Slaric] Such terrifying melee combat strength!"
"[Slaric] That person's power… I seem to be hearing the sound of a mighty storm in it."
"[Slaric] No! You must have heard wrongly. That must be the sound of the mystic sea raging behind them."
"Impossible! How could someone so young have this much strength? How did he reach such a stage at that age?"
Bair Yohren's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent.
Loosening his grip, Bair Yohren's sword left his hand and revolved around Rygintarth's ebony blade, aiming straight for Aiden's face still hiding behind the cover of his large hood!
That attack was extremely strange and had surpassed Aiden's current understanding, knowledge and expectation.
Shocked, Aiden retreated hurriedly.
*Swoosh!*
Although he managed to dodge it in time, a cut was still made on his robes in front of his chest.
His chest felt a chill and a slight sting!
Bair Yohren scoffed coldly and did not bother to fight head-on with Aiden. Striding forward, he gripped his sword once more and his figure flashed. The next moment, he slashed down at Aiden's ribs with his sword's blade pointing up!
Aiden frowned at this. Bair Yohren's sword technique was extremely lethal. Each of his moves were aimed to cull his life. Ruthless!
However, the angles in which the blade came from were way too sharp and difficult to deal with.
Aiden was forced to retreat once more.
In the past, Aiden merely had to make use of his terrifying [Soul Power] as well as his perfect partner weapon, Rygintarth, to cleave down in simple moves and that was enough to take down his opponents.
However, in the past few days, he realized his weakness after exchanging blows with the disciples of this world's top factions.
He did not know any real fighting techniques at all and his stances were full of openings. The moment he attacked, his opponents would locate his openings and deal him a fatal strike!
Bair Yohren did not have to fight head-on and could force Aiden to retreat just by relying on his superior sword technique.
Aiden did not even dare to retaliate with his blade. If he did, it would be a mistake.
His openings would only be magnified and his situation would become much more dangerous!
Bair Yohren's attacks were relentless and came in a flurry. Every single slash was a killing move with a murderous intent, causing bloody stench to surge everywhere!
At that point, Aiden understood. If he was careless, he could really die on the spot.
With the help of his naturally high perception, Aiden managed to avoid a number of dangerous situations. He was able to fight against the Ancient One's follower's executioner force all by himself and fight to standstill.
But right now… it was totally different. The young heir of Ruthless Sword Sect could fight at his maximum strength and suppress Aiden completely with the help of his precise and sinister sword techniques.
Even so, there was still no trace of panic in Aiden's eyes.
It was simple for him if he wanted to break free of the current predicament. All he needed to do was to let go of the self-imposed shackles in his soul and let his true power flow free!
At that time, Aiden's strength and speed would be raised to another level and he could fight at melee range no matter the type of deadly sword technique he had to face.
However, there were many people around. If he were to take on his true form, he would most likely be an outcast in this illusionary sub dimension and wasteland of a realm from now on.
His only other option… was lying next to him. He had to cross the mystic sea!
As he thought about it, Aiden already had a plan in mind. With a long howl, he retreated and dashed towards the surface of the mystic sea.
"[Slaric] What?!"
"[Slaric] What is he doing!"
"[Slaric] "That man wants to cross the mystic sea?"
"[Slaric] Is he that eager to die?"
"[Slaric] Does he have a death wish?"
Now that he was worked up, there was no way Bair Yohren was going to let Aiden off as he hollered madly. "There's nowhere for you to run!"
One after another, the two of them appeared above the spirit sea in an instant.
Aiden took a deep breath of air and skipped on the waves with light treads. Sprinting towards the sword mountain, he was 5 kilometers away in the blink of an eye!
Bair Yohren bit his long saber with his mouth and sprawled like a water strider that was floating on the water. Gliding with his limbs, his speed was not slower than Aiden's!
The mystic sea was definitely not a blessed place in the eyes of everyone.
This was a place where countless elites and paragons have been consumed. Right now, there were few people who dared to attempt it.
Aiden and Bair Yohren's rush into the mystic sea one after another caused a commotion.
Initially, the water surface merely surged with waves. However, after the two of them entered, the mystic sea seemed to have been agitated and turned tumultuous!
Gigantic waves over a dozens of meters tall were formed, crashing down with tremendous might.
Aiden and Bair Yohren froze at the same time, looking at the towering wave before them with stunned expressions.
This was the power of heaven and earth and was impossible for mere mortals to resist!
In the face of the raging wave, Aiden and as well as Bair Yohren appeared tiny and insignificant.
*BANG!* *BOOM!* *CRASH!*
The massive wave crashed and absorbed the two of them into the sea!
Even paragons, the top of the world would find it hard to resist such power. Before he was sucked in Aiden took a deep breath of air and held it in.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were devoured.
Now that he truly entered the mystic sea, Aiden experienced the wild, raging essence that all those disciples… warriors were talking about.
Every single drop of seawater possessed an infinitely sharp intent, slicing at his body from all directions like a real blade.
