Kanzaki's steel wires were not ordinary wires, but world-heritage-class treasures forged by a swordsmith who inherited the name Samonji.
Their toughness was already extraordinary, and when reinforced with techniques and spells, they became immensely powerful.
At this moment, Kanzaki spread the steel wires around her body, using them to block Fang Li's countless sword-light attacks while firmly protecting herself.
At the same time, she once again reached toward the hilt of the nodachi at her waist.
The moment Kanzaki touched the hilt of her nodachi, a godspeed slash would strike again.
And right now, Fang Li was directly in front of Kanzaki, with less than two meters separating them.
At such a distance, if Kanzaki used Yuisen, then no matter how fast Fang Li was, it would be absolutely impossible for him to dodge.
In that case…
"In that case, I just won't let you use it!"
Fang Li violently stabbed the Bo Xie in his hand into the ground.
"Weng!"
Brilliant starlight immediately flowed like water into the body of Bo Xie.
"Zheng!"
The Urm Manadyte within Bo Xie suddenly released a dazzling radiance.
Sensing that something was wrong, Kanzaki stopped what she was doing and immediately kicked off the ground, retreating explosively without the slightest hesitation.
"Pu......!"
The sound of air being violently pierced rang out.
A sharp spike suddenly burst upward from the ground where Kanzaki had been standing just a second earlier, stabbing into that spot.
And it still wasn't over.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, !"
Accompanied by metallic sounds, the entire ground suddenly trembled as enormous spikes erupted upward like thorns. Advancing at astonishing speed, they continuously burst forth and pursued Kanzaki.
"Qiang......!"
The nodachi at Kanzaki's waist instantly left its sheath.
The strike of Yuisen transformed into a sweeping blade-light that indiscriminately severed the incoming giant spikes, each as thick as pillars.
Meanwhile, Kanzaki's eyes glittered as she continued retreating.
"What is that?"
The changes occurring in the ground were clearly not natural, they were being intentionally controlled by Fang Li.
However, to create such a phenomenon, it should basically be impossible unless one used a Superpower or Magic.
"But I've never heard of him being able to use Magic or Superpowers."
Everyone in the Magic World knew that Fang Li possessed Mystic Eyes capable of killing everything.
But as for Magic, no one knew him to be capable of using it.
As for Abilities, Fang Li likewise had none. He was officially recognized by Academy City as a Level 0.
Could it be that this man had been hiding Magic and an Ability?
(No. I can't sense any traces of magical power. That definitely isn't Magic. And an Ability is impossible as well. If he had one, it couldn't be hidden, Academy City has instruments capable of detecting them.)
In other words, Fang Li truly was a Level 0 and also not a Magician.
Then what exactly was this power before her eyes?
"He actually hid this kind of power as well?"
In less than the blink of an eye, Kanzaki sheathed her sword again and turned her gaze toward Fang Li's direction.
But Fang Li had already vanished from the spot.
"Huu......!"
Like a violent gale, Fang Li charged toward Kanzaki.
"Flashing Scabbard , Seven Nights Curtain!"
The fastest attack-speed move among the Nanaya Assassination Arts mastered by Fang Li finally appeared.
"Qiang......!"
Just like Kanzaki's Yuisen, the moment the slash appeared, the cry of the blade echoed through the air.
The astonishingly fast sword-light split apart the chaotic airflow and tore through the sound waves, slashing toward Kanzaki like a streak of light.
Faced with this unbelievably fast strike, Kanzaki instead shouted loudly.
"Too slow!"
At the same moment Kanzaki spoke, her peerless sword-drawing technique transformed into another flash of light and instantly met the incoming sword-light head-on.
"Clang......!"
Sparks exploded outward.
The collision of God Speed against God Speed stirred up even more chaotic air currents, like a storm gathering into a vortex before exploding outward in a ring across the surroundings.
Yet the two sides exchanging slashes did not pause for even an instant.
"Qiang......!"
The cry of blades rang out for who knew how many times.
Sword-light and blade-light simultaneously tore through heaven and earth, striking toward each other.
Both were slashes that placed overwhelming emphasis on speed.
Both were attacks impossible for the naked eye to capture.
However, purely in terms of speed, Yuisen, unleashed with the full power of a Saint condensed into it, was clearly countless times faster than Seven Nights Curtain, the fastest move within the Nanaya Assassination Arts.
"Clang......!"
Sparks exploded once more.
But these sparks burst forth less than two centimeters in front of Fang Li's head.
One could easily imagine what would have happened, and where Kanzaki's unblocked Yuisen would have landed, if Fang Li's Seven Nights Curtain had been even the slightest bit slower.
Competing with Kanzaki in sword speed seemed far too irrational.
And yet, despite that, Fang Li seemed to completely disregard his own safety. Wearing an eerily calm expression, he drove Bo Xie forward at blinding speed.
"Qiang qiang qiang qiang qiang......!"
An endless chorus of blade cries echoed out.
At this moment, Fang Li seemed almost possessed, using the principles of Seven Nights Curtain to unleash countless God-Speed slashes.
Kanzaki's Yuisen immediately met them head-on.
Moreover, due to its absolute superiority in speed, the number of Kanzaki's slashes vastly exceeded Fang Li's.
"Clang clang clang clang clang......!"
Clear collision sounds rang endlessly.
The clashes between God Speed and God Speed caused countless sparks to explode and vanish repeatedly, until they resembled fireworks blooming continuously across the grassland.
"Boom......!"
The ground split apart.
"Boom, boom, boom, !"
Every burst of sparks caused the earth at that location to collapse as though ravaged by an invisible force.
Fang Li and Kanzaki thus engaged in an astonishing high-speed battle, transforming into two flashes of light as they clashed across the entire grassland.
The atmosphere cried out.
Space trembled.
The land itself shook as though stomped upon by a giant, quivering while deep craters and bursts of sparks exploded one after another.
This grassland was gradually being driven toward destruction.
It was practically a disaster.
Then one second passed.
Then ten seconds passed.
Then a full minute passed.
This period of time was absolutely not long.
Yet within that brief span, Fang Li and Kanzaki had already exchanged an unknown number of attacks and defenses, while the light sword and nodachi had collided countless times, like something out of myth.
Ordinarily, after such a length of time, and setting movement speed aside, Kanzaki, whose attack speed far surpassed Fang Li's, should already have slain Fang Li with her astonishing sword-drawing technique.
But the truth was that as time passed, Fang Li gradually began gaining the upper hand instead.
The reason was simple.
"Not deciding the battle right from the start was too damaging for you. Your body has gradually accumulated too much strain, and even the speed of your Yuisen has dropped considerably. That's why I'm finally able to keep up!"
Fang Li's declaration mixed together with his God-Speed slashes as they assaulted Kanzaki.
"Hah!"
Kanzaki let out a loud shout.
Around her body, countless steel wires spread out, unexpectedly forming a Magic Array.
"BOOM......!"
A terrifying explosion erupted across the already devastated grassland.
In an instant, it swallowed up the surrounding area.
