Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 92 - Sabre Intent

“Whoever raised you must be at the heights of incompetence! Your father is most likely a fool among fools. A sorry excuse of a man and your mother is probably no better than a slu—”

Long Di’s pupils shrank in an instant and his body moved before he even registered it.

****

Bang!

Before the last word could leave Tai Ren’s words, a sabre sliced through the air that caused him to swallow whatever it was he was about to say.

The lines that were on him before were chaotic and tangled, so the engine for his abilities was in disarray, but he could still make use of them for the most basic moves.

Boom!

An earthen wall was quickly erected before it was destroyed by Long Di with one slash!

Tai Ren was shocked at the power the boy before him displayed.

‘How could he still retain such terrifying combat prowess after releasing such a powerful attack!?’

Of course, he was unaware that apart from Long Di being a Two-Star Core Martial Master, the latter also had three dantians due to his cultivation technique. It was no wonder Long Di was still able to keep his combat power relatively high.

However, how was he to know that Long Di had only managed to recover about 18% of the initial divine energy his tribulation lightning normally had?

This allowed him to call down the technique, but it was nowhere near as strong as when he used it to slaughter the elders and protectors that came after him back at the not-relic.

However, it was only because the technique was weakened to such an extent that Tai Ren survived. In addition, the race of demons he belonged to was also like unkillable cockroaches. Their connection to the earth granted them great vitality and life force!

“Brat, if you kill me, my sect will wipe this place out and your clan will be slaughtered!” Tai Ren tried to scare Long Di into stopping his attacks but if anything, the latter’s attacks only intensified.

“Damn it!” Tai Ren cursed.

“Regret that do you?” Long Di coldly asked while his hand wielding the sabre was a blur.

Bam! Cling! Boom! Bang!

Blow after blow was being traded as Long Di tore through the defences that Tai Ren could muster!

Tai Ren was trying to realign the lines on his body so his body could properly regenerate and then he would be able to access his other abilities to kill Long Di!

“Argh!” He launched an attack in a fit of rage to keep Long Di off of him.

Long Di managed to dodge the attack and rushed in on an opening he spotted that allowed him to arrive right before Tai Ren.

The sabre followed shortly after in a side swing. Long Di intended to cleave this demon in two!

Boom!

Surprisingly, the one who flew out was Long Di. When he stood again, he looked ahead where he saw an odd-coloured round shield that was about as big as a small washbasin. There was a single line on it that resembled the lines that covered Tai Ren’s body before.

“How does that feel!? Still going to underestimate me!? Looks like you used a lot of energy in that last attack, hahaha haha!”

It was obvious by now that Tai Ren had created a fake opening after baiting Long Di with that attack of his.

Before Long Di’s attack landed, Tai Ren separated one of the lines on his body and used it to activate one of the abilities of his race.

It was a reflective ability that activated when Long Di attacked before. It reflected 80% of his attack’s own power back at him. The remaining 20% was absorbed by the shield and dispersed in the boundless domain of the earth.

Shu!

However, who could predict that instead of backing down and allowing Tai Ren to get himself in order, Long Di shot off towards him once more!?

“What are y—!?” Tai Ren was flustered.

Long Di attacked from a different position, but the shield quickly shifted and moved to where his strike would land.

Bang!

Once again, the shield returned 80% of Long Di’s power right back at him, sending him flying!

“Are you crazy!?” Tai Ren sneered at Long Di’s idiocy.

Shu!

Long Di charged once again, undeterred by his previous failed attempts. His expression was not just cold, it was frosty while showing zero emotions. It was like he was staring at a dead man!

Bam!

Bang!

Boom!

“Brat! You’ll never break through!” Though Tai Ren still sounded vicious and arrogant, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

He was close to untangling the rest of his lines so he could take Long Di down, but the boy’s determination shook him to his core!

Long Di was sent flying so many times that he lost count. His body was bloody, as it suffered from the shock of having his attack rebound on him numerous times. Obviously, the defensive capabilities of the Marrow Chapter had its limits.

Yet, he never stopped. As he continued with his assault, a certain phrase came to him.

One where insanity was defined as someone doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Long Di wasn’t sure if he was insane. He knew he was broken, but was he also insane?

The truth was complicated, but there was a good chance that he was. After all, he did kill himself to come to a cultivation world based on novels he read with his cat of all things. The mere fact that he was not sure if he was insane or not could very well be all the proof he needed to confirm his insanity.

However, it was this ‘insanity’ that engendered a feeling to well up within him.

A feeling to destroy what was before him! A feeling to lay waste to that which served as an obstruction!

This feeling then transformed into a want! Then a need! Then an obsession! Then finally an intent!

Shung!

A sonorous sound rang out as the sabre glowed with a bright light that caused the air to scream in protest to its power!

“S-Sabre intent!? Impossible!”

Tai Ren’s soul left his body when he saw this. He immediately manoeuvred the shield to block the strike; but this proved fruitless, as the blow blasted through the shield and landed on Tai Ren’s still recovering body!

Bang!

The sabre cleaved Tai Ren’s body in two. As this happened, the sabre intent contained in Long Di’s blade destroyed the lines on Tai Ren’s body. This destroyed whatever ability he had to draw power from the earth.

Without this connection, his vitality grew weak and was vanishing like a flickering flame.

Bang!

Insulted by Tai Ren’s existence, the bronze sabre pierced through the former’s head, ending his life instantly!

Long Di’s vision immediately became blurry. He staggered before he took a knee to the ground. A strange weakness took hold all of a sudden.

The disciples and elders in the distance all had their eyes opened wide in shock! What did they just witness!? Was this an eleven-year-old who just comprehended sabre intent!?

Then what were they living for!?

Boom!

“Little beast what have you done!?”

A shout from the distance woke everyone from their stupor. They looked over to see a grey-haired old demon with four arms charging towards Long Di!

His cultivation was above the Core Flame Evocation realm, for sure. Seeing how he was rushing through the air, confirmed this conjecture combined with the fact that they were unable to make out his cultivation base at all.

Whoosh!

Bang!

The old demon clapped both palms together, which sent a terrifying shockwave surging towards Long Di.

The latter could barely stand, much less stop this!

Long Di could only watch as the attack grew ever larger in his eyes!
