Sword Daoist stared at Chu Kuangren with hate-filled eyes.
As the Three Great Daoist Physique Transformations of the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart were unleashed, every weapon around them vibrated, and sword chants echoed in the sky.
"Oh, you want a sword duel with me?"
Chu Kuangren chuckled. "That works too. It's just a game for me anyway."
With that, the Sword-based Daoist Rhyme on his body erupted.
A Sword-based Daoist Rhyme that was much more terrifying than Sword Daoist's coursed out, covering over several kilometers in radius.
The battle between two great Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart produced a force so great that countless swordsmen's weapons in their hands soared up to the sky and swirled among the clouds.
"What a terrifying Sword Dao."
"Gosh. Two Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Hearts battling would be the battle of the century, one that could be written in the swordsmanship world's history books. This is too scary."
"Indeed."
Everybody gasped in surprise.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren and Sword Daoist were standing about ten meters apart from each other.
One looked extremely calm, while the other exuded such diabolical malice that the flames of hatred in his eyes could scorch his enemy opposite him into ashes!
"Chu Kuangren, I shall show you who is the one standing at the pinnacle of the Sword Dao!
Two swords appeared in Sword Daoist's hands.
One of them was the Sword Tribe's Godly Golden Emperor Sword, the other one was the Qingxuan Divine Sword.
Two great Emperor Weapons emerged at the same time, unleashing flashes of brilliance. Wave after wave, their immense Emperor's Aura spread in all directions.
Sword Daoist's current power was at its most terrifying level in his entire life!
All the swordsmen surrounding them gasped in awe.
"That's the marvel of the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, the ability to wield two Emperor Weapons simultaneously!"
"With the combination of two Emperor Weapons would yield, I can't imagine how strong Sword Daoist's current state is. I bet he could even challenge a Sovereign to single combat."
"Sword Daoist is just way too overpowered right now."
Sword Daoist's formidable poise shocked everyone at the scene.
Meanwhile, Bai Hongyu, Touheng, and Wang Quan, who had just crawled out from the pile of debris, were very astonished as well.
"Who would have thought that Sword Daoist's combat strength could improve to such extent?"
"Perhaps he could finally match Chu Kuangren's prowess."
Anticipation and hope gleamed in the few outlawed sky-prides' eyes.
They had been yearning for Chu Kuangren to take a loss for too long.
Chu Kuangren had dealt devastating blows to their ego one time after another. It made them feel as if their Daoist cores were crumbling.
"Chu Kuangren, why don't you take out your Emperor Weapons!"
Sword Daoist challenged him.
Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren chuckled. "I never use my Emperor Weapons when battling sky-prides of the same generation. I don't want to be a bully."
"What? You arrogant madman!!"
Wielding an Emperor Weapon in both his hands, Sword Daoist drew out the one on his right, and rays of bright light shot out from the Godly Golden Imperial Sword. In an instant, a violent gust of sword qi erupted!
The help of an Emperor Weapon made the sword qi's power even stronger than Lan Yu's.
Wherever the sword qi passed by, the fabrics of space were torn apart, and the ground was sent into an incessant quake.
"Shatter."
Chu Kuangren thrust out with his sword finger, and the Descendant Self Sword hovered in the air above him. The sword slashed out gently, shattering that formidable sword qi!
After witnessing that, Sword Daoist followed up by striking out with his sword again.
Different from the Tempest Sword earlier, this second sword contained a searing flame.
However, like the previous one, this sword attack could not deal any damage to Chu Kuangren.
"Three moves." Just as Sword Daoist was about to lift his arm and continue with his attack, Chu Kuangren suddenly stretched out three fingers and said to him, "I'll give you three moves. If you still can't pique my interest after three moves… you will be sent to your grave!"
These words made Sword Daoist even more enraged.
He was so furious that his whole face almost turned blue. The Sword-based Daoist Rhyme within his body kept scaling. "Chu Kuangren, you will pay the price for your ignorance!"
Tremendous Daoist Rhyme circulated around his two swords. As he infused his spiritual power into them, they turned into an enormous sword shadow that lashed out at his opponent!
Chu Kuangren stood rooted to the ground. With a draw of his sword, he unleashed the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, demolishing that sword shadow in an instant!
"You have two more chances to entertain me."
Chu Kuangren said as he crossed his arms across his chest and the Descendant Self Sword hovering beside him.
All sky-prides around them could not help but shudder at the scene,
How scary was that?
Sword Daoist then unleashed an incredibly outrageous combat strength with the two Emperor Weapons in his hands. Even so, he could not harm Chu Kuangren at all.
Not only that, but his opponent was clearly reserving his energy as though to taunt Sword Daoist.
As he said earlier, this was all just a game to him.
"Earth Sword, Wind Sword, Fire Sword, Water Sword!"
"Four Mystiques, assemble! One sword to the heavens!!"
With a loud wail, Sword Daoist summoned all the spiritual power he had inside him while unleashing the Four Mystical Sword Dao to its full potential.
A four-colored sword shadow suddenly shot up into the sky. That was the Four Mystical Sword Dao that Sword Daoist specialized in!
"Oh, so your Dao has already attained the Expert Stage but close to the Perfected Stage. It seems like Sword Emperor Qingxuan's inheritance has helped you tremendously."
Chu Kuangren remarked.
Right at this moment, the four-colored sword shadow was already swinging down at him!
Gusts brewed, flames blazed, torrents cascaded, and the earth quaked. With the help of the Emperor Weapon, the Four Mystical Sword Dao's energy lambasted toward Chu Kuangren with force!
"Break!"
The Descendant Self Sword landed into Chu Kuangren's grasp, and with a low groan, a surge of sword qi poured out.
Within the sword qi contained Chu Kuangren's near-maximal Boundary-Emperor level spiritual power. No words could describe the sheer terror it had!
Along with a deafening sound, the Four Mystical Sword Shadow instantly exploded.
Sword Daoist was blasted back several hundred meters away.
He then looked at Chu Kuangren in front of him. Instead of his confidence earlier, he now felt utterly powerless.
"You have one last chance."
Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
"Chu Kuangren, you forced my hand!"
Sword Daoist inhaled deeply, revealing a stone-cold resoluteness in his gaze.
A dreadful gleam seeped out from his gaze as he took out a piece of phalange, which belonged to an Emperor!
All he did was snap the phalange with abrupt force, and a surge of incredibly majestic spiritual power seeped into his body, increasing his energy by multiple folds!
The Emperor's Phalange contained immense Emperor's energy.
Sword Daoist was able to attain his current cultivation realm by refining just four Emperor's Phalanges from Sword Emperor Qingxuan. Yet this time, he took out a phalange not to refine it but to utilize it to increase his spiritual power in a short time window. Although it was only temporary, it would still be a significant killing blow!
"Slay!!"
Sword Daoist once again ignited the Four Mystical Sword Dao and aimed it at his opponent, unleashing a much more appalling sword shadow!
However, what followed after was him turning around and trying to flee. He did not seem to care whether his attack had injured Chu Kuangren or not.
It was because he knew he was not Chu Kuangren's match even if he had used the phalange. Besides, forcing his body to absorb the energy from an Emperor's Phalange without refining it was already stretching his flesh body's endurance to the limit.
"Trying to flee again, huh? It's a shame that you won't be given the chance this time."
Chu Kuangren said calmly. He was already bored of this little game he had been playing with Sword Daoist.
With the lift of an arm, a four mystical force similar to Sword Daoist's suddenly erupted!
However, this four mystical force was much stronger than Sword Daoist's. Its power was on a whole other level.
"Four Mystical Sword Emblems. That's the Four Mystical Sword Emblems' energy!"
Sword Daoist sensed the energy that was coming from behind, and he was utterly astonished.
The Four Mystical Sword Emblems should've been his own power!
The four mystical forces interweaved in the space before them to form close to a kilometer-tall four-colored sword shadow. Along with the four mystical forces that could rip the sky apart and shatter the earth below, the sword shadow struck out.
It was the supreme divine power, the Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements!
