"Is that the sword!" Xiu Naida's pupils constricted. He recognized the sword, the very sword that had transformed into a girl and fought him for a day and a night, ultimately leaving him severely injured and forced to recuperate at the foot of the mountain for three days.
Without hesitation, Xiu Naida drew his Dark Dragon Spear from his body. This weapon was formed from the fifteen fangs of the Dark Dragon Clan, unimaginably hard and immune to all magical damage. The Dark Dragon Spear was usually nurtured within Xiu Naida's body and was only used against true formidable enemies. For the enemies of the Dark Dragon, forcing him to draw the Dark Dragon Spear was a capital achievement they could boast about for a lifetime.
"Trouble, Daoist Master!" Gu Han took a set of Daoist robes from Rumi, who had arrived a moment later, and hastily draped them over himself, tying a knot to cover his vital parts.
"Your Majesty Xiu Naida, I am unworthy, but I will take the liberty of learning from your skills!" As Gu Han spoke, his body transformed into a bolt of lightning, and in a flash, he appeared beside Xiu Naida. However, Xiu Naida had been on high alert, and the moment Gu Han moved, the Dark Dragon Spear blocked the True Wu Sword!
"Whoosh!!" A thunderous boom echoed as Gu Han and Xiu Naida separated again. The spot where their weapons had clashed exploded, creating a crater the size of a bus. The previous strike was merely a probing attack for both Gu Han and Xiu Naida; otherwise, the entire mountain, including the Chao Tian Palace, might have been blown to pieces.
"How has this human's strength increased so much!" Xiu Naida's face changed dramatically. Gu Han's strength was not just increased; it was a complete transformation, as if a human soul had been placed inside a dragon's body.
"Is this the power of a Xian Sword!" Gu Han tightened his grip on the True Wu Sword. The feeling of 1,000,000 sword essence points was terrifying, giving Gu Han a sense of supreme power!
"Xiu Naida, do you know what the power of a Xian Sword is?" Gu Han smiled strangely, and the True Wu Sword in his hand floated in the air, hovering in front of him.
"Is this a Daoist flying sword?? Gu Han, have you learned our Daoist techniques?" Rumi asked in surprise. This was the first time he had seen the flying sword technique, even Master Zhijing did not have such a skill!
"I don't know if this is your Daoist technique, but this move is called Sword Inscription!" A flash of light appeared in Gu Han's eyes, and the True Wu Sword, which had been hovering in front of him, immediately flew toward Xiu Naida's forehead. Sword Inscription was a move from the Nine Swords of Xuan Tian, allowing remote control of the flying sword through sword essence, similar to the Daoist flying sword technique. Or was it originally a Daoist technique?
Unlike the previous lightning-fast attack, this time the True Wu Sword moved very slowly, like a bird in flight. Xiu Naida swung his Dark Dragon Spear and easily blocked the True Wu Sword.
"Something's not right!" Xiu Naida felt a heavy weight on his wrist. The True Wu Sword, which he had blocked, did not fly away as expected but remained firmly pressed against the shaft of his Dark Dragon Spear. Xiu Naida could feel the force from the True Wu Sword gradually increasing!
"Thirty percent!" Xiu Naida gritted his teeth and used thirty percent of his strength to barely counter the attack from the True Wu Sword.
"Sixty percent!" Gu Han doubled the sword essence he was channeling into the True Wu Sword.
"Eighty percent!" Xiu Naida could feel his Dark Dragon Spear about to break. This weapon, formed from his fangs, was closely linked to his mind, and he knew it was on the verge of collapse!
"Retreat, I can't keep up with this human!" Xiu Naida was not a stubborn dragon. Fighting in human form against Gu Han was too disadvantageous, so he decided to transform back into his dragon form.
"Want to retreat? Naive!" In an instant, Gu Han released all his strength through the True Wu Sword. Xiu Naida, who had been thinking of retreating, was caught off guard and was directly knocked away by the True Wu Sword. Even the shaft of the Dark Dragon Spear could not withstand half of Gu Han's strength and was pierced through, breaking into two pieces.
"System: You have destroyed Xiu Naida's weapon, the Dark Dragon Spear."
"System: You have inflicted -13,569 points of damage on Xiu Naida."
"My Dark Dragon Spear!" Xiu Naida, holding the broken Dark Dragon Spear, felt like crying. This weapon had been with him for over four thousand years, and now it was broken!
"Human, you will pay for your foolishness! You have truly angered the great Dark Dragon King Xiu Naida!" Xiu Naida, who had been knocked into the air, transformed back into the black dragon that had taunted Gu Han earlier, reappearing on the summit of Wudang Mountain. He opened his dragon mouth, and a ball of dragon fire began to gather!
This ball of dragon fire was different from the previous one. If the previous dragon fire was a black flame, this one was a black hole!
If Gu Han were still in Xiu Naida's mouth, he would have felt no heat from this ball of dragon fire, only an endless cold, as if all the warmth and emotions in the world were being absorbed by this black hole.
Indeed, this was not the basic dragon fire attack of the dragon race but the ultimate move of the Dark Dragon Clan, "Void of Fear." Once this black hole was released, it would absorb all positive emotions within a large area and infinitely amplify negative emotions. In Xiu Naida's world, only powerful mental practitioners, like Law Gods, could resist this move with a barrier. Other humans, even Sword Saints, would lose all will to fight, immersed in pain and unable to continue, and those with weaker minds might even commit suicide!
"That black hole, I can't let it hit me!" Gu Han敏锐地意识到，绝不能让那个黑洞一般的龙炎击中自己。Gu Han敏锐地意识到，绝不能让那个黑洞一般的龙炎击中自己。Gu Han's intuition was correct; with his mind full of negative emotions, if he were hit by the "Void of Fear," he might instantly collapse and even commit suicide to see his parents.
Gu Han made his decision, and the True Wu Sword, which had been hovering in the air, immediately shot upward, piercing Xiu Naida's mouth.
"Nine Swords of Xuan Tian—Sword at the Abyss!" The last time Gu Han used Sword at the Abyss was against the ghost-level Yuan Kui Gangya. At that time, Sword at the Abyss only released six sword auras, piercing Gangya's forehead.
This was because at that time, Gu Han had 10,000 quarks of sword essence, but now he had 1,000,000 quarks, 1000 times more. When he released Sword at the Abyss this time, it was impossible to see how many sword auras he released; only a sky full of sword auras could be seen blooming in Xiu Naida's mouth.
The mouth is the most vulnerable part of any animal, and dragons are no exception! The result of countless sword auras rampaging in Xiu Naida's mouth was that he could no longer control the "Void of Fear" charge, and the energy exploded directly in his mouth!
(Ps: In the dungeon, Gu Han received 10,000 quarks of sword essence from the initial engraving of the Sword of Goujian. However, after leaving the dungeon, the original Sword of Goujian was taken back, and Gu Han later received a new Sword of Goujian. At that time, the 10,000 quark sword essence reward was canceled. So this is not a bug.)
"Ruyue!!!!" Xiu Naida let out a piercing scream. He remembered the happy days he spent with Ruyue, their innocent and carefree times, wreaking havoc in the Dragon Valley and disturbing the entire dragon race! He also remembered Ruyue piercing his heart and nailing him to the Dragon Slaying Platform, trying to steal his dragon soul...
"Ruyue!!! Why!!!?" Xiu Naida continued to scream. Even for dragons, the energy of the "Void of Fear" did not hit Gu Han but directly struck Xiu Naida's head, plunging him into the pain and confusion of love. Countless beautiful memories turned into venomous snakes, binding Xiu Naida.
"Strike while the iron is hot!" Under Gu Han's control, the tip of the True Wu Sword aimed at Xiu Naida's reverse scale. If Gu Han used his full strength to stab, Xiu Naida's life would be over here.
"Damn it!" At this critical moment, Xiu Naida snapped out of his confusion and, with a swipe of his dragon claw, knocked the True Wu Sword away from his reverse scale. As a naturally magic-immune Dark Dragon, if the "Void of Fear" were elemental magic, Xiu Naida would have suffered no damage at all.
"Human, you made Xiu Naida relive those painful memories!" Xiu Naida's body was engulfed in flames, indicating he was in a state of rage. "You will pay for this!"
"Shut up!" Gu Han sneered. If Xiu Naida had remained confused a bit longer, his reverse scale would have been pierced, and even if he didn't die, he would have lost half his life.
Since that was the case, he would use the power of the Xian Sword to face this Dark Dragon head-on! Gu Han suddenly exerted his strength, and the True Wu Sword turned into a streak of light, cutting a bloody gash on Xiu Naida's left side.
"Die!" Seeing himself injured, Xiu Naida was enraged. With a flap of his wings, he launched a dozen dragon fireballs, like a meteor shower, toward the summit of Wudang Mountain. If even half of these dragon fires hit, the entire summit would be flattened, and the survivors and Rumi would have no chance of survival!
"Boundless Heaven!" Rumi clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and seemed to be waiting for death.
"Nine Swords of Xuan Tian—Sword of All Springs!" To protect Rumi, his savior, Gu Han had to use another move from the Nine Swords of Xuan Tian, Sword of All Springs. This move required 30,000 sword auras to use, and Gu Han had never used it in reality or in the game.
It's worth noting that a Famous Sword-level swordsman's entire body of sword essence could only convert to 100,000 sword auras, enough to use Sword of All Springs three times. Without the 1,000,000 quarks of sword essence from the Xian Sword, Gu Han would never have been able to use this move.
However, Gu Han was already well-versed in this move. The tip of the True Wu Sword acted like a fountain nozzle, spraying out a large amount of sword auras, forming an umbrella that blocked all of Xiu Naida's dragon fireballs.
Xiu Naida was stunned. His attack was so easily blocked?
In that moment of shock, the True Wu Sword struck again, heavily slashing Xiu Naida's dragon horn. Instantly, sparks flew, and a deep gash appeared on the dragon horn.
"You dare to harm my dragon horn!!" Xiu Naida didn't know how many times he had been enraged today. The dragon horn and reverse scale were the most cherished parts of dragons, like a human's face. Once damaged, it was a matter of life and death.
"Absolute Barrier!" Xiu Naida, fearing further damage to his dragon horn, used the dragon language magic "Absolute Barrier." As long as his magic power didn't stop, the Absolute Barrier would never break!
