Chapter 571: Not One for Words
============================================================
The sword's gleam sliced through the air. Amidst the smoke of battle, golden pupils flashed like lightning, sweeping through the Apostles like a tidal wave, cutting them all down.
A pale purple stream of light enveloped the white blade, held horizontally at her side like Ye Qinghan wielding his sword.
The golden-haired little head stared fixedly at the impossible figure not far away. That oppressive aura… it didn't feel fake…
But how could this be possible?
The figure across from them also sported short, golden hair. Their breathtaking beauty was something beyond compare in Amber's eyes!
Though Ye Qinghan and his two companions now stood surrounded by not a single Apostle, the vast majority of the Eastern Realm had, in truth, already fallen.
With a hissing sound like air escaping, followed by the hum of battle armor, spiritual energy surged forth, unleashing its full power as the formation instantly unfolded.
Even the figure standing opposite—one whose mere glance made Amber's legs tremble—had no retreat left at this moment.
[Communication established…]
【Shattered Sword has synchronized vision. Requesting Divine Retribution-level strike. Additional effects: spatial, gravitational, mental, light energy, and spiritual suppression. Synchronized suppression time: 09.】

【Shattered Sword acknowledged. Estimated arrival at guidance position in fifteen seconds.】
【Analyzing target data… Analysis complete…】
【Target is a psychic hybrid capable of altering spatial medium. Inject Agent 9 in four seconds.】
[Unnecessary. I can see.]
The intangible sword light reached Amber in an instant, yet she showed no fear—instead of retreating, she advanced!
"How dare you transform into Lord Xunye's form! You have some nerve!"
Her small fangs clenched with a sharp click as Amber planted her foot firmly on the ground!
Mountains trembled, rivers shook, sun and moon dimmed!
Beneath her feet, the earth twisted like a Rubik's Cube, meshing like gears. To ordinary eyes, it would seem like an illusion!
But this was undeniably real. As the strongest Valkyrie under the Godslayer King, Amber rarely fought—not because she was weak!
The sword qi that had cleaved through several mountains vanished into thin air with a single stomp!
Amber wasn't some cultivator who announced her moves beforehand. She merely raised her small hand lightly. Instantly, two earthen mountains rose from the ground. As Amber slowly clenched her delicate fist, they shot toward the distant figure!
The humming grew louder and louder. With a sharp crack, like a rifle ejecting a shell, four objects the size of wine barrels and shaped like batteries sprang from Amber's back. They plummeted from the sky, crashing into the ground and embedding themselves firmly into the earth!
Before anyone could discern their nature, several gleaming blades shot forth, slicing through the earthen mound like mincing meat for dumplings, reducing it to fragments!
A towering column of smoke rose a thousand feet, obscuring the sky and blocking out the sun. Yet Amber knew the true battle had only just begun.
Like a fluttering red banner, the engraved mark of the Executioner's Blade was clearly visible on her heavy cloak.
Amber glanced at the black bloodstain dripping onto her skirt hem and curled her lip in disdain.
"This is the Master's favorite skirt. He'll definitely spank me for this…"
No sooner had the words left her lips than a thud echoed, revealing the long sword at Amber's waist.
Before the smoke had even cleared, the Apostle's roar echoed across the land, shaking the very earth!
The sky swirled like a disturbed hornet's nest, teeming with countless creatures.
Below, a sea of ink-black waves crashed forward, stretching endlessly to the horizon.
Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?
Amber didn't know, nor did she intend to count them one by one. She merely muttered to herself.
"This really is… a troublesome task… If I'd known, I wouldn't have been so stubborn…"
Earth-shattering roars echoed as Apostles tore through the smoke, lunging forward as if intent on devouring Amber whole—small as a cupcake!
The Shattered Void Blade erupted, slaughtering all the swift ones in its path.
Like slicing through butter, the Apostles that had caused Ye Qinghan such headaches didn't even merit Amber drawing her sword.
With only the six white blades drifting at her sides, no Apostle could come near her.
Yet, after dispatching merely dozens of Apostles before her, Amber recalled the Shattering White Blades.
As the overwhelming tide of Apostles rushed forward with desperate urgency, Amber stood still, utterly unmoved.
Amber and Xiao Ai were undoubtedly cut from the same cloth, yet on this one point, they were polar opposites.
Xiao Ai was always brimming with confidence, as if nothing could ever faze her.
Amber, on the other hand, was taciturn, steady, never impatient, and extremely calm, equally conveying a sense of reliability.
She maintained a cool demeanor, speaking only when necessary and never wasting words when silence sufficed. Only when Xiao Ai tugged at her skirt did she show the slightest flicker of emotion.
"Fall."
There was no grandiloquence, no heightened excitement. The divine punishment descending from the heavens appeared to the naked eye like a crimson waterfall cascading down.
The deafening explosions and earth-shattering energy seemed poised to tear the heavens apart, piercing straight through to the underworld!
Amber watched it unfold, expressionless, her golden-tinged pupils seemingly still searching for something.
Ordinary Apostles would naturally be unable to withstand such a divine punishment-level strike. But what Amber was concerned about was the entity capable of taking on Lord Xunye's form.
That being was clearly an embodiment of this "new god's" authority, much like the faceless ones wielding swords and shields that appeared alongside guardian powers. Typically, such unique entities inherited fragments of their master's authority.
That's precisely why they're called Apostles. Every deity possesses unique Apostles. Though they constitute a small fraction of all Apostles, the companion Apostles that descend alongside a deity are infinitely more powerful than ordinary Apostles!
Amber, too, heard of this type of Apostle for the first time—an energy entity seemingly capable of taking the form of those close to it, possessing certain illusory arts as well.
The divine punishment lasted a full dozen seconds, its radius spanning over a hundred miles. This proved immensely helpful to Amber, sparing her unnecessary expenditure.
After all, Amber didn't know if the divine punishment could kill the one who had transformed into Lord Xunye…
A piercing whistling sound cut through the air. Before her divine sense could even locate the opponent's form, it had already calculated the evasion trajectory!
A blade sliced through the formal gown, yet it emitted only a crisp metallic clang. The torn section of the dress resembled a severed passage through the void, but it vanished almost instantly.
Though clad in heavy armor, Amber's movements showed no sign of slowness!
Though the figure remained unseen, she drew her sword at lightning speed to counterattack, relying solely on her divine sense's foresight and experience to forcefully block three strikes!
This scene left the spectators at Lingxian Hall and the mansion utterly dumbfounded. Only Xiao Ai and Su Cheng watched silently, saying nothing.
[Is there a detailed analysis? What does 'existing between existence and non-existence' mean? How should I kill it?]
Clearly, the military division at the Mansion couldn't derive a definitive method to kill the Apostle before them based on existing combat data.
Amber understood—the method to eliminate this bastard was something only she could devise.
