If he continued to move forward and follow the sword, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity, but at this moment, Isayama did not hesitate to call on the shikigami Ran Gurren to jump back together - because Dalianji's attack had already arrived.
All the light streams came straight at him, but because of several mistakes he made in succession, the young man lost the opportunity to construct a defensive spell. Now that his body was knocked away by the Zen stick, he was in a state of stiffness. So at this moment, he did not build a defense and could not dodge, and the natural result was that his physical body was borne by all the attacks.
Dozens of sharp arrows of light pierced his hands and feet, and the huge force nailed the young man's body to the ground like a rag doll.
If Dalian Si had not had no intention to kill, and compressed the attack into a tiny sword, reduced the range, and only aimed at the limbs, the young man would have been blown to pieces by now.
Then, Isayama's knife was already on the young man's neck.
The outcome has been decided.
The young man who boasted so much ended up being defeated in such a straightforward manner.
All of this stems from his own underestimation of Dalian Temple and Jianshan.
"This is really, I'm obsessed with it."
The young man thought to himself, and shouted loudly without hesitation.
"Yato!"
Chapter 248: Suppression of Strength
Li Nian chased after Ye Douzhan like a shadow, and each time he swung his sword, it was from a tricky angle with great power, but Ye Dou was able to block or dodge in time every time. It can be seen that he has a deep foundation in martial arts, and this guy really carried out the idea of avoiding the opponent's sharp edge to the end. With each collision of the blades, Ye Dou would bounce the blade away and keep a distance to avoid the fight.
He chose not to withstand the full force of Li Nian's attack. It was smart, because if he really fought with a sword against an opponent who was stronger than him, it would be easy for his stance to break down and reveal his flaws. Yadou knew that for the guy named Li Nian in front of him, a collapse of his stance would give him a fatal opportunity. If he was hit by another sword like the one just now, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be beheaded or chopped off.
But Yato knew better that if he just kept being attacked like this, his chances of winning would only get lower and lower.
From the very beginning, he could feel the cold spiritual power flowing around this person, and every time he swung the spiritual sword, it would bring up a freezing wind. When Ye Dou was hit by the sword just now, the cold spiritual power had already invaded his body, making his movements much slower. It felt like his body's reactions were a beat slower than he thought.
As a result, he had to use all his strength just to block Li Nian's attack, and he had no spare energy to resist the cold wind and deal with the cold current flowing in his body. The cold wind blowing on Yato's body would bring biting coldness that penetrated into every part of his body, further accumulating the cold and making his limbs even heavier.
This is what makes ice-attributed spiritual power particularly terrifying. Just the flow of it will bring with it a cold wind, allowing the severe cold to penetrate into the enemy's body through every pore.
It's just that in the past there were few enemies that needed to be fought, so this was difficult to manifest. But this doesn't mean that Li Nian himself was unaware of this. Of course he understood it, which is why he was happy to launch a violent and fierce attack like a storm, not giving the enemy any chance to breathe.
If he continued like this, Li Nian would only firmly take the initiative, and it was up to him to advance or retreat. On the other hand, the coldness accumulated in the enemy's body would make the opponent's movements become increasingly sluggish and slow. In this state, the result of pushing time backwards was predictable. Whether Li Nian found an opportunity to break through Ye Dou's defense, or Ye Dou's body became too sluggish to cope with Li Nian's attack due to the accumulation of coldness, revealing a fatal flaw, it would be Li Nian's chance to win.
But Li Nian knew very well that the opponent was not simply dodging and retreating. It could be seen that every time Ye Dou dodged and blocked, he was trying to find a suitable position and angle for a counterattack. This guy was also looking for his own flaws.
Yadou really thought so. When he slashed Li Nian with his first sword, he absorbed Li Nian's blood through "Fei". The power contained in the blood was absorbed by himself through the blade. He then realized that Li Nian's body was flowing with vigorous spiritual power and... a terrifying vitality.
He understood that this was the reason why the knife wound on Li Nian's chest healed quickly. On the other hand, Yadou thought that if he hit Li Nian again, he would be able to absorb that vitality again, which would definitely help him dispel the coldness, recover from the injury, and turn the current disadvantage around.
But Yato couldn't find the flaw.
It's not that Li Nian's magic power is really strong enough to crush this spiritual being, but that Li Nian takes the initiative. As the attacker, he has plenty of time and margin to prepare. Every strike and every slash is thought out and deliberate, and therefore perfectly coordinates with muscle movement and the flow of breath and magic power, like the sound of the tide, wave after wave, and slashes out at the highest point where terrifying power and energy erupts. At the moment of attack, the power is always maintained at the peak. Being somewhat powerful, he can naturally suppress Ye Dou steadily, and the slashing is not without method. The movement of the body and steps is synchronized with the swinging of the sword. When slashing out one knife, he considers how to make the next knife and is ready to change the style at any time. Therefore, if he is dodged or blocked by Ye Dou, he will not expose much stiffness, but will be ready for the second knife.
If Yato tried to fight back forcefully, he would only be dragged into a fight that he did not expect in the first place... But the current situation did not allow Yato to sit back and wait, he had to try.
"when."
Yadou dodged Li Nian's knife again and stretched out his arm to swing horizontally, then swung the knife diagonally to deflect Li Nian's next knife.
Then, he tried to seize the opportunity, lifted up "Fei" and stabbed forward.
The red flash was as fast as a lightning strike, but Li Nian had anticipated it and dodged it with a horrifying reaction by turning his head.
Then Li Nian twisted his wrist, and the rotating "Cold Prison Ice Sky" pushed away "Fei", and then pressed down on "Fei's" red blade and slashed it back diagonally.
At the same time as the sharp sound was made, a large number of sparks were produced between the blades. This time, Yato was unable to draw his sword to block. He barely leaned back to dodge, but he still could not completely avoid the slash. His chest was cut again. The wound was not deep, but a biting chill immediately rushed in and raged through his body.
But Ye Dou had no time to care, because Li Nian had not swung the sword to the fullest, and he still had some strength left to control it. He slapped the handle of the sword and rushed forward with the blade in front.
Yato drew his sword to block again, and this time he barely managed to block it. He then used the reaction force to create some distance between him. The force was so great that he stumbled back a few steps. Before he could stand firmly, Li Nian appeared in front of him again and swung his sword at him.
This is the result of a random counterattack. As expected, we didn't gain any benefit. Instead, we were dragged into a fight, left with new wounds, and pushed the already bad situation to an even more serious level.
This was because Yadou was strong enough to make correct and accurate responses in several dangerous situations, otherwise he would have been beheaded or cut in half by Li Nian.
How many years have passed? What does it feel like? It's like being shrouded in darkness, with no light to be seen.
It had been a long time since Yato had felt such terrible pressure in battle, and it felt ridiculous.
Yato is actually not a human being, but a war god who was born from prayers. He has appeared in various places since the Warring States Period. Over the past few hundred years, he has experienced battles of all sizes and killed countless enemies.
But a mighty martial god was actually being suppressed like this by a mere human in a head-on sword fight? !
But this is reality.
A stronger attack, a tougher defense, a quicker reaction, a steadier posture, and more means.
Reflected in actual combat, one thing is to increase strength by one point. One point of strength can establish a stable advantage, and three points of strength can carry out comprehensive suppression!
No matter whether you are a god or a demon, you are an enemy on the battlefield and you have to rely on your strength to speak. And now Li Nian is using his strength to comprehensively suppress the spiritual being in front of him, step by step towards the victory of taking his life.
But both sides know that this will not (cannot) continue like this.
——"Yato!"
At this moment, the young man's cry for help was heard.
Chapter 249: The inevitable battle ended and everyone gained something
"Boom"
During one slash, both sides increased their strength at the same time, creating an explosive roar, pushing away the air waves, and then distanced themselves from each other, temporarily stopping their attacks and looking in the direction where the sound came from.
Then they all saw that Dalian Temple and Jianshan had already subdued the young man.
Li Nian was a little surprised. He felt that the young man should be quite powerful and it would not be so easy to capture him... But the facts were right in front of him. Dalian Temple and Jianshan seemed to have successfully captured the target, so he naturally smiled.
Looking at Yato's face again, this man who had been suppressed so hard in the battle but never showed any dejected expression, now had a face that obviously became gloomy.
It can be seen that the young man is this guy called Yato... and the leader of the girls who turned into long swords in his hand called the young man "father"? Although I don't quite understand what kind of relationship they have, there is no doubt that he is an existence that they value.
The young man was also the original target of Isayama and Dalian Temple. They started a fight because they wanted to capture him. Now that the young man has been captured, their goal has been achieved and they have won.
So Li Nian asked.
"Do you still want to continue fighting?"
Having said that, he still held the spirit sword in his hand, and the magic power in his body continued to flow, still maintaining an activated state, ready to fight again at any time.
Yadou did not answer Li Nian, but started a conversation in his mind with "Fei" who turned into a long sword in his hand.
("Father was captured? He was defeated?")
("How could this be possible... by just a few little girls...")
(“But this is the truth. Father is just an ordinary human being. He can’t act in that state…”)
(“…he must be saved”)
He did it as soon as he thought of it, Yato raised his long sword and chanted loudly.
"In the name of my Night Fighting God!"
This was his answer.
At that moment, Li Nian had already rushed out and slashed with a knife. At the same time, when he heard what he said, he confirmed his identity in his heart.
"He is truly a god..."
Li Nian had actually guessed this since the ice blade was cut off. Now hearing him reveal his personal name only confirmed his guess.
God... is a being born from concepts. In fact, it is not surprising. In this country where the mainstream belief is "Eight Million Gods", it is just a spiritual being similar to other demons, gods, Buddhas, ghosts and monsters, but of course there are some differences in nature and specifications. It is often more noble, more pure - and a little more powerful.
This guy named Yato has such a nature of power. If there is anything special about him, it is that since he is so powerful, he is probably not an ordinary god, but a "war god" who is born with high combat power.
Not only that, it seems that the concept of "cutting" is also included in its divinity.
Therefore, Li Nian's ice knife and the blade light that was pushed out were vulnerable to his slashing attack and were destroyed without a trace, because they were "cut off" from the root of the technique.
But fortunately, its power was not too strong to the point of destroying the spiritual sword that Li Nian had carefully constructed. It was not a very scary ability - this was what Li Nian thought.
"cut!"
Following a shout, Yato swung down with the scarlet long sword.
The power contained in Yato's slash this time was completely different from before, and the red sword shone brightly.
When the blades collided, Li Nian instantly felt something was wrong and immediately felt a terrifying thrust from his arm.
Then, Li Nian was involuntarily pushed out by a huge red knife light.
Not only that, wherever the sword light passed, the barrier covering this space was torn open.
Li Nian gritted his teeth and exerted force on the spirit sword, but immediately realized that he could not break the sword light. He had to spend a long time to push it aside, and then he leaned sideways. Even though he had jumped the most energy-saving method, it still took a lot of effort to avoid it. However, he could only let it fly away without any decrease in momentum. As a result, the barrier was almost completely cut open. Li Nian himself had been pushed out a considerable distance, and he realized that the "Sealing" technique had begun to collapse.
But Li Nian didn't care about this little thing, but immediately looked up at Ye Dou in the distance.
"cut!"
The man shouted angrily again and swung out the second sword with a huge red blade light, but it was not aimed at Li Nian. This blade light flew in the direction of the young man. Without Li Nian blocking the path, the blade light was terrifyingly fast, and the attack range was large enough to include the young man and Jianshan who had the knife on his neck.
Dalian Temple reacted immediately, manipulating the magic circle to shoot out many sharp beams of light towards the knife light, trying to block it. However, it was clearly a powerful attack containing huge spiritual power, but after it came into contact with the knife, it was broken without any effect at all... It must be the power of "cutting" that was at work.
Isayama noticed it in time and felt the horror of the attack, but he hesitated and was at a loss for a moment. He could not give up on the young man's safety and just hide away. At this juncture, he tried to use the Lion King to block the sword light.
Li Nian appeared in front of Jianshan in a flash and pushed him away.
Without anyone to stop it, the blade light engulfed the young man.
Turning back to look, the sword light had sunk into the earth, but the young man covered by it had stood up as if nothing had happened, as if he had not been attacked at all. Instead, the light arrows shot by Dalian Temple that pierced his limbs and bound him to the ground had completely dissipated, leaving only a deep and wide crack in the ground beneath his feet, proving that that place had indeed been crushed by the sword light.
Yato appeared in front of the young man holding "Fei" and raised his long sword again, but it was obvious that he had consumed a lot of energy after swinging out two sword lights with such terrifying momentum. His face looked a little weak and his breath was obviously weakened.
If Li Nian stepped forward and launched a fierce attack at this time, perhaps he could take his life more easily.
But after Li Nian let go of Jianshan, he just looked at them coldly. Not only did he not launch another attack, he also let go of the spirit sword, letting it dissipate into light spots in the sky, and had no intention of continuing to fight.
Because at this time the "Sealing" barrier has disappeared, the world line has returned to its original position, and the surrounding environment has returned to the busy campus. The students around are still looking at him, pointing and talking about the guy whose clothes on his chest are torn and stained with blood.
Even if the battle breaks out again, there is no guarantee that the opponent can be pulled into the "Seal" again when he is on guard. Even if he is successfully pulled in, with that guy called Yato around, the barrier may be easily broken again, and the impact of the battle cannot be controlled no matter what. That is a situation that must be avoided.
The young man's injuries recovered quickly and he had obviously regained his mobility, but he seemed to have no intention of fighting anymore. He smiled and patted Yato's shoulder in front of him.
"Thanks, Yato, but we still have to stop fighting. We can't fight anymore."
Upon hearing this, Yadou silently retreated behind the young man and let go of the long sword. The long sword turned into the exquisite and lovely girl in kimono. The girl's face was also very tired. The two stood behind the young man, their eyes fixed on Li Nian's every move, obviously guarding against this guy attacking again.
Several more people walked behind Li Nian - in addition to Dalianji, Nura Rikuo in human form had also arrived at some point, along with the girl Xueli who had been seen before, and a burly giant wearing a skull necklace, all of whom were in human form wearing Sobu High School uniforms.
Of course, Nura Rikuo felt the fluctuation of spiritual power in the school and came to inspect the situation. At this time, he looked at the three young men in front of him with confusion and recognized them as the people who had come to visit him with Yu Zhang before. Looking at this situation, he understood that they had a conflict with Li Nian and others, but he didn't know why.
The young man smiled and nodded slightly at Nura Rikuo, but he didn't say anything;
"I have really broadened my horizons today and realized what young exorcists are like." When he said this, he was looking at Li Nian, and then he looked at the girl behind him, Dalian Temple Suzuka, who had a gloomy expression, and continued: "Dalian Temple, please reconsider your previous suggestion. Our door is always open to you."
After saying that, the young man turned around and left with Yato and the girl named Fei.
No one stopped him because there was no point in doing anything now. The capture operation by Li Nian and others had failed.
Nura Rikuo turned around and looked at Li Nian: "What's going on?"
"Speak somewhere else."
There is very important information that needs to be told to the leader of the Nura clan.
Chapter 250 Subsequent Information Exchange
Along the way, the young man erased all traces he had left behind and walked away from the school. After making sure that those people did not follow him, he took Yato and Fei into a secluded alley. With a wave of his hand, a barrier wrapped around them, concealing their breath completely. After doing all this, the young man turned around and looked at the two people behind him who were exhausted.
"Yato, how is your injury?"
"It's okay, nothing serious." Yato said coldly.
Fei glanced at him and shook her head: "Yadou is a liar."
When Fei turned into a long sword and was held in Ye Dou's hand, she was in tune with Ye Dou's thoughts and knew that he had been slashed twice by Li Nian and was invaded by a deep chill all over his body. In fact, he was seriously injured and the chill in his body should not have been completely dispelled at this time, so he was still feeling quite uncomfortable.
Having said that, for a spiritual being, this is not a serious injury and it can be healed by itself with some time, and it will recover naturally over time if left alone.
"That won't do. If you're hurt, you should speak up. You should take care of your body no matter what."
The young man spoke gently, and put his hand on Yato's wound. A light came on, and he began to treat Yato. Under the soft light, Yato's wounds recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the clothes made of spiritual power were also repaired.
"However, I didn't expect that someone who suddenly jumped out could suppress you and Fei and injure you like this."
