My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2027

The burly man raised his legs and propelled himself to where the individual in black stood before slashing his swords once more.

Yet, the individual dressed in black weaved his way through the slashes as if they were some sort of demon.

“No wonder you can wield the demon sword. Looks like the usual moves aren’t going to work.”

The individual dressed in black jumped onto the roof.

“I have no intentions of battling with you. But if you wish to stop me, I'll kill you on sight!”

“Oh? Kill me on sight? Do you know who you’re talking to, little man?”

The Great Swordsman unbuttoned his tattered clothes to reveal his firm muscles littered with scars. As he removed his clothes, the five swords strapped to his back also revealed themselves.

Upon his command, the five swords flew out of their sheaths.

That, coupled with the two swords he was already holding, allowed the Great Swordsman to pull off the Stream of Seven Swords Technique.

“Are you some sort of monster?” the individual dressed in black asked.

“You’re the monster!” the Great Swordsman said as he used some strange-looking method to propel himself into the air. Then, he twisted his body and moved his hands and feet in tandem as he launched himself toward the individual in black like a sword slashing through the air.

The individual in black had no choice but to swerve. However, the Great Swordsman was moving too quickly.

Hence, they had to once again use the substitution technique to avoid getting injured. Then, they threw a smoke grenade.

“The Invisibility Technique!”

“Don’t run!”

A spinning blade slashed the smoke apart.

The individual dressed in black had wanted to escape, but their location got exposed almost immediately, leaving them no choice but to unsheath the demon sword once again.

They slashed the sword once.

A gust of sword energy that felt like death itself collided with the Great Swordsman’s seven swords.

Somehow, the Great Swordsman’s swords became corroded. Several rusted over while some shattered into pieces.

“Tsk, how troublesome,” the Great Swordsman complained.

Upon realizing their attack was working, the individual dressed in black tried to kill the Great Swordsman. However, they then realized the demon sword was sapping their life force from them, and it would become difficult for them to escape if they continued using the sword. They had no choice but to set the sword aside.
