Book 8, The Ten Thousand Kilometer Journey – Chapter 35, The Profound Truths of the Earth

The night was as cold as water

The cold wind of the deep night blew drearily The squad that had belonged to Stehle had been wiped out earlier Now, only Stehle remained

Linley’s side had Linley, Bebe, Haeru, Zassler, and the five Barker brothers

The opponent’s side had only Stehle

But without question, right now Linley’s side was in the weaker position Even fleeing would be very difficult

“The Supergravity Field’s effects are ground-based The farther froround is, the less its influence is” Linley knew very well that once a Saint-level coround, they probably wouldn’t feel the gravitational field at all

Right now, Stehle was hovering roughly ten or so ravitational effect, at ravity” As fast as lightning, Linley considered their options and how they could stay alive

Zassler said in a low voice, “Linley, Saint-level coh they can fly very fast at high speeds, their turning speeds and aerial agility is only perhaps one or two ti was very simple

Just like when huht line quite easily, but if they were to suddenly turn left, then suddenly turn right, then suddenly run backwards and forward again, you would be lucky to reach a speed of a third of your regular ic, but he hadn’t thought of it just no that he did, an idea flashed by Linley’sthat sword stained with green blood

“Bebe, Haeru, don’t leave the Supergravity Field’s area” Linley’s dark golden eyes stared at Stehle in the air “Saint-level combatants are very powerful, but he is a warrior He has no way to counteract the effects of the Supergravity Field If he wants, he can stay in the air Once he reaches the ground, his speed will be halved or cut to a third By then, he won’t be any faster than me, nor will he be faster than you”

Bebe and Haeru both let out a lol

But Zassler frowned His speed wasn’t that fast

“Let us face him We five brothers definitely won’t allow ourselves to hinder you, benefactor” The Barker brothers called out The five siblings’the the adamantine heavy sword in his hands, Linley stared at the mid-air Stehle “Don’t be rash”

Stehle was in no rush to act either, cale Saint-level co unable to deal with these people?

“Speed?”

Stehle’s sharp eyes stared coldly at Linley “This tactic of yours ainst those who just entered the Saint-level, but unfortunately…I reached the Saint-level centuries ago Kid, the Saint-level isn’t as simple as you see strength to brute force things; it requires a deeper understanding”

Linley stood in front of everyone, sword in hand, staring coldly at Stehle

This tactic was the only option available to him Faced with a Saint-level’s speed, he had no place to run His only option was to reravity Field Only then did he have a chance at life

“Whoosh!”

Stehle suddenly shot towards Linley like a released arrow, his black robe slightly fluttering with the wind However, that longsword of his, covered in golden light, chopped towards Linley at a very ordinary speed

But once he struck out with his sword, a cold aura seemed to pervade the entire courtyard

Linley instantly felt as though he had entered a frozen real aura, while at the same time, the entire area seeh that sasat an ordinary speed, it chopped towards Linley with an irresistible force

The ‘impose’ level!

“Hrmph” Slowly yet inexorably, the adaan to htened

“Slash!” His ice-cold longsword suddenly split the air, increasing in speed tenfold In the blink of an eye, it arrived near Linley’s body

Linley’s ada through the air to block the ice-cold longsword

One was fast The other, slow

But the strange thing was, the tords intersected

“Ruuuumble” There were no other sounds when the adasword struck each other Only, the air itself suddenly shuddered Linley’s dark golden eyes continued to stare coldly at the opponent

Profound Truths of the Earth – Triple Layered Waves!

Stehle only sensed a strange vibration being transh three deep, powerful attacks were viciously attacking his heart

“Booo noise exploded forth from Stehle as his silver battle-qi wildly exploded forth in all directions frole ray of battle-qi easily shot through the surrounding buildings like needles

“Careful!” Linley roared loudly, ionblood battle-qi in his own body to explode forth as well, frantically trying to block that omnidirectional blast of silvery battle-qi, so as to protect the five Barker siblings behind hi so, he wasn’t able to totally protect everyone, as several strands of silvery battle-qi still struck the five brothers on their bodies “Slash!” Several dozen bloody lines were drawn on their bodies, but the five brothers had hed in amazement

Fortunately, Stehle had only accidentally exploded his battle-qi, resulting it in going in every which way This was the only reason why the Barker siblings had not lost their lives, despite the criss-crossed with bloody lines and wounds

As for Zassler, in front of hi a suit of heavy black arht Captain’, one of the three prie undead of the ninth rank under his command

“Boom!”

The walls nearby all collapsed, and even the nearby manors were impacted by the vibrations Some people were literally shaken to death by that omnidirectional blast of Saint-level battle-qi

“Ah!”

“Help!”

The nearby folks all began to scream in panic An explosion such as this woke up quite a few people in the prefectural city of Deco as well, and all the nearby citizens began to flee their houses

Linley’s group only stared solemnly at the mid-air Stehle

A small hint of blood could be seen at the corner of Stehle’s lips Stehle wiped the blood off, and then stared at Linley in ahed, “Linley, I didn’t expect that you have already surpassed the level of utilizing the force of the heavens and the earth Ad the force of the heavens and the earth as known as ‘impose’ This was the level which ordinary Saint-levels reached

“He received this attack of mine without any preparation, and yet he wasn’t heavily wounded” Linley’s heart had grown cold
