Xiang Shaoyun’s mastery over the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique had reached an extremely high level. He was only using the sixth stance because his current cultivation could only support his usage of up to the sixth stance. Even so, when he powered the technique with the primal inception energy, he unleashed a slash that was even more destructive than pure lightning energy.
The nine-colored saber cleaved through the air with an unstoppable might capable of carving through the world itself. The nine-colored saber clashed with the three azure dragons, instantly creating a blinding spark. Space around the sabers collapsed, sending shockwaves rippling in all directions. Saber after saber was destroyed and recreated as the two clashed against each other.
“Three as one, kill!” Song Tiandao’s eyes turned red as he mustered all his astral energy, combined his three sabers, and slashed forward.
The three azure dragons fused, becoming a single stronger azure dragon. It was as though an actual azure dragon had descended upon the battlefield, projecting boundless might. Xiang Shaoyun also swung his saber, sending waves of primal inception energy crushing forward. It crashed against the azure dragon.
Xiang Shaoyun hadn’t touched the primal inception energy for the past three years. Thus, he had accumulated a large amount of it. He had no problem using it repeatedly. And with that, the two sent their energies out repeatedly, colliding against each other again and again.
Whoosh!
Eventually, the two separated and stood hundreds of meters apart. Both were coughing blood, their aura much weaker than before. Even now, they were still evenly matched. As they stood there looking at each other, appreciation for the other party rose in both of them. Just as they were about to resume their fight, a powerful aura erupted not far away from them. The aura was approaching rapidly, clearly belonging to an existence in the Saint Realm.
“Two puny humans had actually created such a commotion? Looks like you’re both geniuses among humans. This Saint shall slay both of you,” a Devil Saint said while roaring with laughter.
This was an eight-handed bewildering devil that had just broken through into the Devil Saint Realm. The eight-handed bewildering devil was an extremely tricky opponent. It stood straight on two legs and had a triangular head with one eye, three noses, and one massive mouth. On its torso were eight hands. With blisters all over its skin, it had an incredibly disgusting appearance.
The eight-handed bewildering devils were considered extremely strong in the third layer, but they were low in numbers. Most of them resided in poisonous environments and would rarely roam around.
As for this eight-handed bewildering devil, it had left its lair after sensing Xiang Shaoyun and Song Tiandao’s battle. It had recently broken through into the Devil Saint Realm and needed to replenish itself with some human blood.
Xiang Shaoyun and Song Tiandao were almost fully exhausted from their fight. Thus, it did not seem likely that they would still be able to defeat a Devil Saint. Even so, neither shrank from the fight.
“If you can still move, kill him together,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
Song Tiandao did not reject the offer. He nodded and swung his three sabers. This attack was obviously much weaker than before, but he still had the same resolute look in his eyes. Xiang Shaoyun did not stand around doing nothing. He had much more strength remaining compared to Song Tiandao. Instead of using his saber, he used the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist. Two different attacks were sent flying toward the devil.
“You dare resist? I’ll capture you and eat you alive,” said the devil with a sneer. Its eight hands reached out and stretched indefinitely, gathering a large amount of devilish energy before colliding against the two incoming attacks.
The devil was confident it could easily erase the two attacks, but his arms turned numb upon contact with the two attacks. He discovered that the two attacks weren’t weak at all. At the same time, Xiang Shaoyun and Song Tiandao charged in two different directions, one aiming for the devil’s head while the other aimed for its lower body, displaying impressive coordination.
The devil waved its arms around, surrounding its body with terrifying devilish energy before sending the energy out. Instantly, the two attacks shattered. It might be a newly advanced Devil Saint, but it was still a Saint. It far surpassed any regular Sovereigns.
It slammed its eight palms out at the same time, rupturing space and blasting the two away. Then, the arms extended endlessly and reached for their necks. The arms moved rapidly, instantly reaching them before they could put up any defenses. The devil grabbed their necks and wrung them. If it wasn’t for the fact that their bodies were tough enough, they would have died.
“Hehe, die,” said the devil smugly. Just as it was going to deal the finishing blow, the two unleashed their trump cards.
A chakram suddenly appeared in Xiang Shaoyun’s hand as he swung at the devil’s arm. An additional azure dragon saber appeared before Song Tiandao and slashed at the devil’s arm. They both used a saint weapon at the same time, instantly spilling the devil’s blood. The devil had not expected the two to have saint-grade weapons. It wailed in pain and released its grip.
“Kill!” Xiang Shaoyun roared as he threw the chakram forward.
Song Tiandao became one with his saber, his aura rose to his peak, and he took a step forward, delivering one simple slash. The chakram vanished into thin air, while the azure dragon saber transformed into a dragon. The two saint weapons were fast and powerful, instantly reaching the devil. Feeling threatened, the devil was forced to put up its defenses.
Because Xiang Shaoyun wasn’t using any devilish energy, the chakram was easily punched aside. However, Song Tiandao’s saber was terrifying enough to attract most of the devil’s attention.
Xiang Shaoyun naturally wasn’t willing to let Song Tiandao do all the heavy lifting. A different weapon appeared in his hand. It was the Radiant Saint Sword, and he unleashed the Dazzling Sky Sword Technique, releasing an attack that was far stronger than the chakram attack. With the two geniuses working together, the devil suffered a miserable fate. It had thought that it could easily take down these two humans, but with their saint weapons, the two had actually left it battered and exhausted.
“I refuse to believe that I can’t kill both of you!” The devil roared and decided to use its trump card.
At this time, Song Tiandao suddenly became one with his saber and released the most stunning attack he had ever unleashed—Man Saber Dragon Transformation!
Roar!
This time, not only his saber had transformed into a dragon but also his person as he charged the devil. Xiang Shaoyun released a dazzling sword radiance, disturbing the devil’s vision to help Song Tiandao land his hit.
