“Then let them come.”
A flash of fanaticism flashed in Dugu Ao’s eyes. “Good timing. My sword hasn’t shed the blood of an immortal in a long time.”
David shook his head and said, “Senior may not be afraid, but what about the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion? Although the Thousand Swords Return to Origin Formation is powerful, can it withstand the Soul Devouring Puppet, the Soul Suppressing Puppet General, and Zhan E himself?”
Dugu Ao’s gaze was slightly cold: “Are you questioning the strength of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion?”
“NO.”
David looked him straight in the eye. “I state a fact. The Evil Path Hall has a Reincarnation Gate, which can continuously produce puppets. Every Heavenly Sword Pavilion disciple who dies means one less disciple. With this ups and downs, the outcome is already determined.”
“So you came to persuade me to surrender?” Dugu Ao’s hand rested on the hilt of his sword.
The atmosphere in the dueling arena immediately froze.
Master Xuanwei and the others were sweating profusely. Demon King Chiyun even secretly gathered his strength, ready to fight to the death to protect David if Dugu Ao really took action.
But David smiled.
“No. I’m here to give you a chance, a chance for the Heavenly Sword Pavilion’s sword to penetrate the darkness that envelopes the twelve heavens, and for the sword’s true meaning to spread throughout the heavens.”
He stepped forward, his voice resounding: “If we close ourselves off and guard our own territory, even the sharpest sword can only illuminate a small part. Only by joining forces with other heroes and exterminating the demonic path can the sword of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion truly ‘cut through’ the bright and clear world. At that time, who in the world will not know the Heavenly Sword Pavilion? Who will not respect Dugu Ao?”
Dugu Ao loosened his grip on the sword.
He looked at David, his eyes sparkling sharply, as if examining the truth of his words.
After remaining silent for a long time, he suddenly asked, “What was the name of the sword attack you just executed?”
David was taken aback, then realized that he was referring to the “Sword Intent Transformation” he had demonstrated before.
“The name has not been determined yet.”
“Then, let’s just call it the ‘Chaos Creation Sword’.” Dugu Ao turned around and looked at the sky again. “At the beginning of chaos, a single sword split the clear and the turbid, giving birth to all things… This sword is worthy of your sword intent.”
He paused, turned his back to the crowd, and slowly said, “This alliance is negotiable. But there is a condition—”
“Come duel with me. Win or lose, as long as your sword can show me a higher path, I will join the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.”
David took a deep breath: “When?”
“Now.”
Dugu Ao turned around, and drew his iron sword.
There was no earth-shaking momentum, but the moment the patterned iron sword was unsheathed, all the sword marks on the entire dueling arena lit up simultaneously, and boundless sword energy gathered and condensed behind it into a hundred-foot-tall ghostly giant sword.
The sword had not yet been drawn, but the intent was already there.
David felt as if his soul was being pierced by millions of fine needles, the pressure of pure sword intent.
But instead, a burning fighting spirit burned in his eyes.
The Dragon Slayer Sword was unsheathed with a clang, combining the power of the Immortal Power of Chaos, the Golden Dragon Bloodline, and the True Fire of Earth—but instead of exploding, the power was contained within the sword, turning into a layer of hazy gray sword energy that seemed capable of devouring all light.
“Help.”
As soon as he said those words, David immediately drew his sword first.
This is not a stab, not a slash, but a painting.
The Dragon Slaying Sword drew a circle in the void, within which Yin and Yang flowed and the Five Elements evolved, vaguely revealing the scene of the creation of heaven and earth and the birth and death of all things.
“What a wonderful ‘Creation of Chaos’!” A terrifying light flashed through Dugu Ao’s eyes, and with a single swing of his iron sword, the hundred-foot-long giant sword smashed downwards!
The sword light clashed with the sword light.
No explosion, no impact.
The giant sword slashed into the sword circle, like a mud ox entering the sea, and was gradually decomposed, swallowed, and assimilated by the chaotic and flowing sword intent. Meanwhile, the sword circle became increasingly denser, and seemed to expand.
Dugu Ao was not worried, but rather excited, and let out a long roar: “Again!”
His figure turned into a sword light, fused with the sword, and he stabbed straight into the core of the sword circle!
This was a desperate attack, and also his most devastating sword attack—a perfect fusion of blade and saber!
