Chapter 2178: Chapter 2178: Ward Off

Using dozens of forceful strikes in a row, Lisa pummeled Zen. The way he dodged every single one of them made her anxious.

She then took a few steps back and stomped on the hard ground in tiptoe, creating a pit that went three to four hundred feet deep. Clasped tightly in her hand was the thin black sword.

Upon seeing her make such a move, Lisa's brother couldn't help but frown slightly. “I can sense Lisa's uneasiness, but this time, let's see how this fellow would survive that one.”

“Amorous Sword Net!” Lisa exclaimed.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

The thin black sword looked and moved like a whip as it flew out of Lisa's hand.

In just a split second, streaks of what seemed like a bundle of black swords intertwined and formed a tangled net that swiftly enveloped Zen's head.

Since the net was fine-meshed, it was impossible for Zen to break free no matter what he did.

“How can Zen escape from this?” Elsa's eyes widened as she watched the scene with great concern.

The striking eyebrows that rested on Romeo's forehead trembled lightly at the view.

Previously, he was downright defeated by that exact move by Lisa. He was trapped in a cage formed by the black sword net and failed to break out no matter how much he struggled.

Seeing the massive black sword net charging towards him caused Zen's eyes to flicker while the corner of his mouth raised slightly.

The Wild Gods used martial skills to fight as well.

The weapons they used would become wild weapons that were way larger, and the Wild Gods themselves would also grow.

In terms of skills alone, Zen wasn't threatened by anyone at all.

“Swish!”

Zen raised his long sword and used it to hurl the sword net in another direction.

“Clank!”

A loud sound cut through the thick air.

Zen had successfully blocked one of the strips of the black sword radiance.

A huge hole appeared on the thin net.

Aware that it was just a casual sword strike from Zen, Lisa was stunned.

The swordsmanship she used had quite an unyielding demand with space. Once she performed it, it went on for a while, resembling a cage that could crush her opponents. The more they struggled, the deeper they fell. ℝÃＮо𝐛Ê𝘴

However, that one she just exerted obviously wasn't perfection. There were a total of four flaws that could be seen on the net.

If her opponents managed to discover those flaws, they could break the entire sword net.

There was only one warrior who easily did such a thing, and that was David.

It was a surprise to her how Zen found the first flaw that quick. Was it just a mere coincidence, or could he really find them all out?

“Huh?”

David, who was just quietly watching the match as he lay on the ground, was now up on both feet.

“I didn't know that such a powerful man from the Nine Li ever existed.” David's eyes widened, his curiosity growing by the minute.

Lancelot, along with the other elders from the Yellow Emperor race, couldn't quite put a finger on what just went down as well.

“Why would the Nine Li race hide such a powerful man from us?”

“This isn't right. If such a powerful warrior really existed in the Nine Li race, how come we know nothing about him?”

“Calm down, all of you. Lisa isn't going to lose.”

Even if Lisa lost the match, they still had Jerome and David.

They could lose this round but would still be on an advantage, for Zen was the only warrior the Nine Li race had left.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Lisa flourished her black sword without pause. In the blink of an eye, the hole Zen had created earlier was remedied by the black sword radiance. It looked brand new once again.

At the same time, she also began to move rapidly around Zen.

The net spun as she moved. The changes of the net looked even more complicated than before, which meant that Zen had to work even harder to escape it.

However, such changes were nothing to Zen.

For him, any change at that point was just a deception. The methods that were used varied, but the principle was the same.

With a smile on his face, Zen waved his sword and speedily stabbed the net four times.

“Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!”

With four shrill sounds, the sword net that was intricately set up by Lisa collapsed completely.

All the black sword radiance faded along with the net and the black sword quivered in her hand.

Lisa's heart sank as she realized that Zen had actually seen through all her tricks.

The method she used seemed like a child's play to Zen.

“That kind of swordsmanship is useless to me,” he said.

Not taking a step forward, Zen just stood there.

He easily and perfectly dodged all of her attacks on him. The difference between the two of them was more evident.

Lisa could only purse her lips.

Giving up wasn't an option for her. Even if she knew that her skills didn't stand a chance against Zen, she still aimed to go all out on him.

While holding the black sword horizontally, Lisa bent her body and an ethereal spirit flashed in her eyes. After a moment of preparation, she swung her black sword.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Once again, the black sword turned into a long whip, and it rapidly spun around her like a tornado.

As the sword radiance circled her, it created a streak of sharp black radiance that headed straight for Zen.

“Not bad at all,” Zen said, his eyes narrowed.

At the sight of that strike, both Elsa and Romeo held their breaths.

They thought that they had already seen the best of Lisa, so that killing tactic she had just displayed came off as a shock for them.

“Zen has to be careful. This strike can't be resisted by sheer force alone!” Romeo said, looking more concerned than ever.

“I don't think so. Zen doesn't seem to really care. Just look at him,” Elsa retorted.

The moment Zen noticed the black sword radiance charging towards him, a light flashed in his eyes. He pointed his green sword at the black sword radiance.

This gesture from Zen caused Adele, Giacomo, and the other elders to feel uneasy.

The others were just as stunned. Was Zen seeking death?

Astonishment engulfed Lisa's eyes. She knew that Zen could resist the strike she just made, but what he was doing at that time was no more than a suicide act.

As soon as Zen's long sword touched the black sword radiance, he began twisting his arm.

The blade of his long sword slightly twisted as well, and the black radiance circled his sword as if it was being sucked into a whirlpool.

At the same time, he pulled his long sword instantly, and Lisa felt a massive force coming out of her hand.

Before she could even throw her sword away, she bumped into Zen.

Since Zen had placed his sword horizontally by his chest, Lisa would be cut in half should she bump into it.

“Lisa!”

Jerome yelled from a distance, desperation evident in his eyes.

As Lisa got closer to Zen's sword, her face turned pale. She knew what was coming. She knew she was going to die.

Just as she was about to hit the tip of the sword, Zen's other hand gently emerged. With a loud bang, Zen blocked Lisa's shoulder to avoid her from coming in contact with the blade.

Simultaneously, he lifted his emerald green sword and pointed it just a few inches away from the damp skin of her neck.

Lisa's mind went blank. She was dazed. Zen's low voice snapped her back to reality as he said, “You lost.”
