Chapter 1349  Why?

Liam already knew a little about the recruitment procedures of the Eternal Sword Palace so he wasn't completely caught off guard when he was teleported to a random place, a random foe standing in front of him. Although he was indeed a little surprised to see the person in front of him, it seemed like a weird coincidence.

However, the next second he knew it couldn't be a coincidence after seeing the very noticeable smirk on the opponent's face. Clearly, the other party was not in the least surprised.

Grin. The beastkin licked his lips, wiping off some blood. "Another easy fight."

Before Liam could react, the big hulking beastkin charged ahead with an imposing broadsword. A strong violent aura rippled off of the beastkin as he madly swung his broadsword toward Liam, the ground itself seeming to tremble with each heavy step he took.

Liam did not even get a full grasp of where they were currently standing but the ground underneath them gave away as fissures spread in every direction. The rippling power was binding him, completely arresting him, and making him unable to move.

However, the next second Liam slammed his feet down even if there was nothing underneath him. His nether domain was on full display and it effortlessly smashed the violent bloodl.u.s.t trying to bind him down. The deathly aura spread out without any inhibition, taking over the area. The huge beastkin let out a grunt not in the least bothered by the domain effect. His attack was overbearing and unstoppable.

With a swift sidestep, Liam dodged the initial onslaught, his own sword drawn in a fluid, effortless motion. He had faced many strong opponents before in the tower, and this beastkin, while formidable, did not intimidate him. The beastkin also did not intend to back off. The attacks continued to pile on with the hulking beastkin displaying a surprising amount of agility despite his build. Without relenting he stood his ground and swung his sword repeatedly with devastating power, each strike aimed to end the fight with a single blow.

The air hummed as Liam's blade sliced through it, countering the aggressive attacks with precision but he soon found himself pushed back. Liam immediately kicked up his attack power a notch and combined his nether domain and icy domain.

The fortress that was being completely ignored now became even stronger and icy fretters appeared on the wall. On top of this ice spikes rained down from the top as Liam's mana core surged and he went all out.

The beastskin finally felt the pressure and his movement speed drastically reduced. The combined domain infused with the dao seeds was too much for him to handle.

For the first time, Liam had a chance to stop being defensive and landed a critical blow to the beastskin, a huge gash appearing on the chest of the beastkin, who staggered back, his face twisted in pain and surprise. Blood, dark and viscous, began to seep from the wound, staining the ground beneath his feet if it could even be called that.

For a moment, the beastkin's violent aura dimmed, but the very next second the ugly thick set of lips with protruding teeth broke into a vicious grin. Unexpectedly the being's aura flared up twice as it was before, forcing Liam to immediately retreat.

Liam frowned. 'He should have some sort of berserker skill.' The onslaught of attacks instantly increased as the beastkin charged through his domain with a sheer force that seemed capable of making the literal s.p.a.ce around them tear up.

Liam's eyes widened at the drastic power up but he did not give up just yet. The opponent definitely had a top-tier berserker skill but there was always a problem with all berserker skills. They died down pretty quickly. Now all he needed to was wait it out until the beastkin ran out of energy. The only problem was doing even that seemed impossible.

Liam gritted his teeth as he barely blocked the next attack. One after the other the attacks were raining down on him and he continued blocking and evading but the moment he was waiting for never arrived.

Just as he wondered if he had made some sort of miscalculation, the beastskin all of a sudden stopped, gripping his chest, his heavy sword no longer held firmly in grasp.

Liam did not stop and used this chance to land a blow which not so surprisingly fell upon a golden barrier that had sprung around the beastkin. This round was already over.

Liam took a deep breath and quickly tried to recover because he was not sure if the next round would immediately start or not.

"Why?" A hoa.r.s.e voice sounded. It was the beastkin who popped some sort of marble into his mouth and mumbled with difficulty. "I saw your pitiful karma threads. You are a n.o.body. You are not supposed to be this strong. I would have never targeted you otherwise." The beastkin coughed vigorously.

Liam raised a brow. Karma thread? He was under the impression only people like that weird monk dude or the oracle could use something like that. The beastkin in front of him showed no indication of any such dao and yet he was able to dabble in it. Not to mention the beastkin's incredible fighting talent.

Liam would be lying if he said he was not impressed. He naturally did not bother explaining to him anything but he did nod at the guy as a courtesy and a sign of respect to him. He was a good opponent to fight against and if this sword palace entrance test had more opponents like him, then Liam had a feeling he might just be able to make another breakthrough.

Steadying his mind he prepared for the next battle, not in the least underestimating his opponent. He was no longer on earth or on nymphomania. This was the myriad realms and he was now in the thick of it.

The world around him twisted once again as darkness flooded before Liam once again appeared on another battleground.
