Chapter 30

Reincarnated as a Sword Emperor in the Sword Master's Family (30)

'It’s coming.'

There was quite a distance between Leonard and the red troll.

The cave itself was vast, and the troll, knowing its own strengths, did not approach any closer.

Even in a battered state, it was still at the True Demon Realm.

A monster that required a peak expert to handle.

Rumble...!

The ground shook.

Just like before, a mound of earth soared up, as if trying to crush Leonard with one punch.

The attack was slow, but its range and weight were overwhelming.

Cutting it with sword qi would be meaningless.

The earth, driven by its momentum, would still crush Leonard.

Crack!

Leonard's body, which had accelerated in one step, swayed left and right, deceiving its direction while gradually advancing.

Having not broken through to the Outer Force Realm, his only means of attack was sword qi. He needed to get within the range where his blade could reach to have any chance of defeating the troll.

Leonard's eyes narrowed again.

'Heh, what a cunning bastard. He blocked the retreat.'

Indeed, that was the case.

The troll, making eye contact, smiled sardonically.

It seemed to be using the earth to block the passage behind it, while making it look like it was attacking with a mound of earth.

Now, Leonard had to defeat the troll to survive.

"Stupid thing, who said I was running?"

From the beginning, the option of fleeing was never in his mind.

Fight or don't fight.

If he chose one, he would stick to it until the end.

That was the life of a martial artist.

Roar!

As the red troll roared, another mound of earth rose, but this time the attack was completely different.

Instead of a wave, it formed small clumps of earth, hard like stones.

For a small, fast-moving object, especially one without a strong body like a lycanthrope, a single hit would be fatal. It was a similar tactic to the No. 1 he faced in the training camp, but the scale and power were dozens of times greater.

'They’re doing something like the hidden weapon experts of the Tang Family...!'

Recalling the first time he was hit by a rain of needles, Leonard's eyes glinted with a dangerous killing intent.

While he knew there was no such thing as noble or base martial arts, personal grudges were inevitable. Since that day, he had either cut off the wrist or ended the life of anyone who dared to use hidden weapons in front of him.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

The earth bullets, like a rainstorm, grazed Leonard and embedded deeply into the ground.

Even a 10th-stage Inner Force Realm practitioner would stiffen upon being hit, and continuous hits could break bones. The earth clumps, firing dozens of times per second, could easily wipe out hundreds of ordinary soldiers.

But Leonard was neither ordinary nor a soldier.

Five Elements and Six Spirits Technique (五行六神法)

Turtle Shell Great Yin (龜甲太陰)

Water Flow (水流) Step

Moving like flowing water, Leonard dodged the earth rain without a single graze.

It would be unbecoming of a Sword Emperor to be hit by such a poorly aimed attack.

In terms of self-preservation, the Black Tortoise, considered the strongest among the Four Symbols, protected Leonard with its essence.

Leonard was now just a few steps away from the red troll.

Then.

Roar! Roar!

Responding to the troll's incantation, the tattoos on its skin glowed.

Mana surged.

As soon as he sensed it, Leonard's body swerved to the left.
