Chapter 523 The Ultimate Slash: The True Face of the Practical Approach's Final Move

"Uh, why are you all looking at me like that?"

Allen:
Bei Er:.
The two exchanged a glance and tacitly decided to ignore the big oaf.

The Second Northern God carefully observed Allen's expression, which remained unchanged, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke:
"Allen, I've heard a bit about what you've accomplished in the past two years. Your growth has indeed been rapid. I used to think you were a genius, but I never imagined you would be this talented. In just a few short years, you've emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain during the war between humans and demons."

Fame came so easily, and his strength improved as easily as eating and drinking. His sharp aura was so intense that it almost made people's eyes sting.

I should praise you, but I feel it's necessary to remind you.
"Olsteed is no match for you. Do you know the Seven Heroes who fought Laplace?"

The somewhat anxious look on Bei Er's face was reflected in Allen's dark pupils. He looked at this so-called 'Old Deng' and a smile appeared on his lips.

"know."

Bei Er said with a serious expression: "Orsteed is a figure even more powerful than the Seven Heroes. I once heard my mother say that the Dragon God's strength is far greater than my father's, the first Northern God, and also far greater than those heroes who rose to prominence as rapidly as you."

Don't act impulsively, don't be arrogant like Alex, choose to actively seek him out and challenge him.

Beisan:? ?

He frowned: "Arrogant? I have no intention of challenging the Dragon God, Father."

Bei Er nodded: "Because you haven't even crossed the mountain that is Allen blocking your way yet, so naturally you don't want to see any more distant and higher scenery."

Beisan:.
Allen smiled and said, "I understand, I know what I'm doing."

North Two looked at Allen's calm demeanor, his expression still solemn.

He shook his head: "Do you think that by defeating my son, who was ranked last among the Seven Great Powers, you have indeed joined the ranks of the Seven Great Powers, and therefore lack the necessary vigilance against these long-established masters?"

Seeing Bei Er's anxious expression, Allen laughed even more heartily.

At the time, I wasn't mocking him; rather, I felt genuinely happy to receive his concern.

The reason why Allen respects his mentors, such as the Second King of the North and Reda, is largely because these people truly have the self-awareness of being teachers and mentors.

At least that's true for Allen.

But this expression was rather jarring to Bei Er.

—He saw in Allen the triumphant version of himself after defeating the Dragon King.

Even Allen's current attempt to use his personal power to leave a significant mark on the history books of secular nations is exactly the same as his past self.

Bei Er suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen Alex's Northern God Style Secret Technique—Absolute Slash?"

Alexander was taken aback, while Allen nodded honestly.

"I've seen it."

Bei Er pressed further, "What do you think of the power of Alex's ultimate strike?"

Allen stroked his chin and pondered for a moment: "In terms of power alone, it is very strong. It is more expressive than the Sword God Style and the Water God Style, and it is also more suitable for taking down the enemy together."

The second Northern God twitched his forehead:
"follow me."

After saying this, the Second Prince of the Northern Gods stepped out of the gate, turned around in front of everyone, and walked towards the back of the mansion.

Allen exchanged a glance with the somewhat bewildered Bei San, and then followed him over.

The adventurers who were already outside the courtyard silently followed.

Behind the mansion is the back gate of the Hokushinryu main dojo, and outside the gate is a narrow alley.

After walking out of the alley, the group discovered that the area behind them was not a residential area.

Instead, it was a vast, gently sloping hillside, where piles of horse manure could be seen from time to time, attracting swarms of horseflies.

In the distance, military camps and stables can be seen.

This area was clearly prepared by the Wanglong Kingdom specifically for training troops and raising horses.

Allen thought that Bei Er was going to show him the military strength of the Dragon Kingdom and dissuade him from causing trouble again. However, Bei Er only glanced at the military camp from afar before finding a low hillside and starting to climb the mountain, wading through the mud.

Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for words, and had no choice but to follow.

Aisha was too short and had short legs, so she picked at the stones to step on, but soon found that she could no longer find a good path to avoid stepping into a mud pit. She looked down at the dress that Ellen had picked out for her and was at a loss.

The next moment, she felt a lightness on her body and saw Allen lift her up and throw her onto his shoulder.

Aisha straddled Allen's shoulders, staring blankly at Allen's chest.

—The mud on his own feet stained Allen's white shirt.

Allen turned to look at her: "Hold on tight, Shandur is getting faster and faster."

Aisha blinked: "What is the Second Prince of the North taking us to do?"

Allen stared at Bei Er's retreating figure, grinned, and said in a low voice, "He's trying to show off."

Aisha looked down at Allen's ear.

Eren's earlobes are very hard. Aisha's own ears are mostly cartilage, and she can even squeeze them into a ball with her small hands. But Eren's earlobes are very hard, and you can see light blue blood vessels on them.

In her previous life, when she and Allen were traveling through conflict zones, he often carried her on his shoulders like this.

Aisha replied in a vacant tone, "Just showing off?"

Allen didn't take it seriously: "Well, he probably saw a younger version of himself in me, and now he's busy helping me 'turn over a new leaf'."

Aisha stretched out her finger, barely touching the vein on Allen's ear with a one-centimeter gap in the air:
"Reform yourself? I don't think there's anything my brother needs to change. He's fine as he always has been."

Alan's cheerful voice was carried by the oncoming wind and hit Aisha's face:
"Indeed, but it's okay. Preaching depends on the occasion. I can't stand the kind of preaching that's condescending and has a sense of superiority. But it's fine to listen to preaching that has good intentions and good purpose, even if the method is a bit inappropriate. Just consider it as making him happy."

and"

Allen turned his head.

Aisha suddenly withdrew her hand, blinking her eyes as she met Allen's gaze.

He said, "If I'm not mistaken, we should be able to see the original ultimate slash soon. To be precise, the ultimate slash of the Northern God III should be called 'Gravity Break.' He took a shortcut and used the gravity magic of the King Dragon Sword to release the ultimate slash faster and better."

But I always felt something was missing, you know? When the Second Northern God was young, he used this move to kill the Dragon King with one strike. Its power should not be limited to the 'Decisive Slash' that the Third Northern God used on me.

Aisha put her hand on Allen's shoulder: "So, what does Brother Allen want?"

Eren gave Aisha a sly smile:

"Of course, I learned it by stealing. Although I did not become a disciple of the Qiba Sect, I am still quite skilled in the original teachings of the Beishenliu School, or rather, the practical school. My Sky-Sweeping Slash is based on the Beishenliu School's 'Twenty Slashes'."

"Oh~"

"Hurry up, he's speeding up again."

"Okay."

Finally, after nearly an hour of trekking and being completely away from the buildings at the foot of the hill, Kitakami II stopped.

The grass swayed around his knees, and there was no sign of human life for kilometers around the hillside.

He turned to look at Allen and said in a serious tone:

“I understand Allen’s desire to stand out, to become a hero, and to defeat even stronger enemies, but I want to tell you that the Dragon God’s true strength is far greater than that of my father.”

There are people outside people, and there are mountains outside mountains.

Orsteed is far more powerful than you think.

Since you've seen Alex's ultimate strike and think his move, aided by the King Dragon Sword, was quite powerful, right?

Allen watched with great interest as Bei Er laid the groundwork for his self-aggrandizement.

Sure enough, the next sentence was heard from Bei Er: "But this level is nothing in the eyes of Lord Dragon God."

The Absolute Slash is the ultimate technique of the Northern God Style, developed by my father, the first Northern God, after years of research.

He once used this as a weapon to challenge the overlord of the Wanglong Mountains at that time, the Wanglong King who had mastered gravity magic and was causing havoc in the area. However, even though he possessed such a powerful skill, he was still killed by the Wanglong King while he was gathering his strength.

People only know that he was defeated by the Dragon King and lost his life, and they use this as a laughing stock to mock and insult him.

But they didn't know that I was able to kill the Dragon King Wang using this move from my father.

Allen, I don't want to see you repeat the same mistake.

Allen interrupted the Second Prince of the North: "So you have to show me the power of the Absolute Slash, and by the way tell me that this kind of powerful move is nothing in the eyes of Orsteed, so don't make any rash moves."

"The thing to do now is to become your disciple and learn swordsmanship from you diligently, so that when I've mastered it, I can hone my blade to its sharpest point and then challenge Orsteed? Is that it?"

Bei Er was stunned and stared blankly at Allen.

His face clearly said, 'You stole my lines, what am I supposed to say?'

And how do you know that my ultimate goal is still to take on apprentices?
His face twitched, and he glanced at the silent, face-covering Northern God III:
"Yes, that's what I wanted to say."

Allen nodded: "Understood. So, let's begin and show you the true power of the Absolute Slash."

As soon as the words were spoken, the surrounding adventurers, quick to react, scattered like a group of monkeys, retreating several hundred meters behind the two of them to watch the show from afar.

The Second King of the North Gods showed a hint of frustration on his face.

Why do you feel like something's not quite right?

However, he still felt quite pleased with Allen's intense gaze fixed on him.

"Okay, then watch carefully."

"it is good."

After several leaps, North Two reached a position 200 meters away from Allen.

He grabbed a branch from nearby, held it in his hand, and, with his back to Allen, looked towards the top of the hillside ahead.
Closed his eyes.

one second.

two seconds.

ten seconds.

The Second King of the North remained motionless, the wind blowing through his clothes and long hair; he looked as peaceful as if he were asleep.

Adventurers in the distance looked at the Second Northern God standing still and turning into a tree, exchanging bewildered glances, wondering what this highly renowned former Northern God was up to.

However, Allen and North God III, who were standing nearby, had serious expressions.

The former raised an eyebrow: "How does Avalanche use its battle aura?"

Northern God III nodded: "As expected of Lord Allen, it is indeed Avalanche Fall."

Allen hasn't used the Avalanche Drop move for a long time since he mastered the Blade of Light. Since Roya, Allen has mainly fought against people. This practical combat technique, which involves releasing battle aura to create an area-of-effect attack, is not good for killing people quickly and effectively. It is more suitable for hunting low-level groups of monsters.

After the archipelago, having escaped the filter of reincarnation magic, Allen no longer needed to use this technique once he could use magic. Therefore, this skill set had long been forgotten in the deepest corner of his mind.

At this very moment, within Allen's expansive flow of energy, the Second Northern God was continuously accumulating the dissipating fighting spirit characteristic of the Avalanche Fall's game-breaking nature.

Yes, it's about accumulating, not releasing.

He's doing it in reverse!

Normally, the technique of using battle qi involves releasing battle qi from the body to cause damage.

At that moment, in Allen's perception, the battle aura surrounding the Second Northern God was rolling, dissipating, and exploding on his skin, then swirling back into the Second Northern God's body. At the same time, the Avalanche within the Second Northern God's body was still being released continuously.

If we consider the Second Northern God as a sealed glass container, then the constantly colliding avalanche-like fighting spirit is like boiling water, but because of the skin barrier, it cannot release its energy and can only accumulate.

When the glass bottle reaches a certain threshold, it will eventually explode, right?
not at all.

Sizzle, sizzle.

Countless lacerations appeared on the skin of the Second Northern God, but were then completely healed by his powerful undead demonic physique.

The demon's physique transformed the supposedly fragile human body into a sturdy cage, confining the energy of the thousands of avalanches that had accumulated over those short ten seconds within its own body.

The next moment, the Second Northern God opened his eyes.

In Allen's perception of the Water God Flow, wounds kept blooming and healing at the corners of his eyes, and for the first time, he showed a look of surprise after seeing Allen reunite with him.

He smiled with satisfaction.

Then, the Second King of the North raised the branch in his hand high.

He swung the sword forward, his lips parting slightly:
—"The Final Strike".

The 1,732nd avalanche was released in one breath, transforming into thousands of battle qi sword blades that roared in all directions around the Second Prince of the North!

!!!!!boom!!!!!

The ground was ripped up! The grass stalks were shattered!

Chunks of damp soil were flung into the air by the immense force, instantly turning into dust and exploding in the sky!
The underground stream was also unearthed by the immense stress, and the sewage gushed out and vaporized in an instant!
The roar lasted for a full ten seconds before it stopped.

The destructive power of this fatal strike was immediately apparent to all the onlookers.

—The ground ten meters behind the hillside where the Second Northern God stood had completely disappeared, turning into a deep pit that was emitting smoke.

And on his front.

Within a radius of two kilometers, the grassy hillside completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

With a single, devastating strike, the Second Prince of the North cleaved the entire mountaintop away.
