Chapter 125

his old face filled with shock and horror,

a trace of fear passing through the depths of his eyes.

Terrifying!

Utterly terrifying!!

It didn't seem like something of this world at all!!

Just when the two had different thoughts,

the thunder dragon didn't even let out a wail

before being broken through by the sword light.

Leaving only a black light, it flew toward Dugu Qiubai's brow!

Regarding this,

Dugu Qiubai didn't panic at all,

letting the black light do its work.

After it drilled into his brow,

he sat cross-legged in the void and slowly closed his eyes.

What made people dumbfounded was

that before even an incense stick of time had passed,

Dugu Qiubai had broken free from the heart-demon trial.

A terrifying aura, shocking to the extreme, spread from him in all directions.

The speed was so fast

that let alone Dugu Yifang,

even Dugu Jian, who had experienced this tribulation,

was stunned at this moment,

not even noticing that he had plucked out a few of his own beard hairs!

His face, besides shock, was still shock,

to the point where he was completely numb.

Staring blankly at him, he couldn't spit out a single word for a long time.

Recalling the misery he had suffered during his own heart-demon trial,

he felt somewhat miserable.

Comparing people to people, it's enough to anger one to death!

The ancients did not deceive me!!

"Thank you!"

Exhaling a turbid breath,

Dugu Qiubai adjusted his mood and cupped his fists at him,

a trace of joy that couldn't be hidden in the depths of his eyes.

To be honest,

even he himself hadn't thought

that he would break through the shackle so simply and reach the Supreme Mythical Realm he had longed for.

Even now,

it felt somewhat unreal,

because

everything had gone too smoothly,

so smoothly it felt dreamlike!

"No matter, this is your opportunity; I just gave a push."

Dugu Jian shook his head,

not taking credit for the action just now.

As he spoke,

he changed the subject, looking at him with eagerness:

"Shall we spar?"

"I have the same intention!" Dugu Qiubai nodded.

As soon as the words fell,

the two looked at each other,

pointed their fingers like swords, and charged toward each other.

What made people stare in astonishment was

that they had no swords in their hands,

not even a branch.

But every time they clashed,

several or dozens of white long swords would appear,

their power so strong

that they were no less than divine weapons, and even, they were even better!!

"Sword Twelve!"

"Well come!"

Although they didn't speak,

after competing in cultivation for a while,

the two tacitly abandoned their cultivation

and began to compare sword moves.

In the blink of an eye,

accompanied by a sound of clashing,

the two exchanged dozens of moves.

Those endless sword moves,

coming suddenly and leaving vaguely,

were like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace,

and like the Milky Way hanging upside down, mixed with terrifying killing intent in their splendor,

making Dugu Yifang, who was watching from afar, dazzled and his mind greatly shaken.

"Sword Twenty-Two!!"

"Breaking Sword Style!!"

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

Even without using true essence,

as their sword moves became more and more fierce,

the void couldn't help but ring with sonic booms,

the terrifying waves of energy one after another, terrifyingly incomparable!!

"I lost!"

As the dust settled,

both sides stopped simultaneously and said in unison.

As soon as the words were out,

the two were stunned,

looking at each other in bewilderment.

He looked at the other person with a stunned expression.

They all revealed smiles.

This left Dugu Yifang completely bewildered, like a monk unable to grasp the situation.

He couldn't figure out who had actually won or lost.

In fact.

What he didn't know was.

Both of them were right.

In terms of cultivation.

Dugu Jian had the upper hand over Dugu Qiubai, who had just entered the Myth Realm.

But in terms of swordsmanship.

The Sword Twenty-Two that Dugu Jian had always taken pride in.

Had ultimately lost narrowly to Dugu Qiubai’s Sword-Breaking Stance.

Therefore.

Both of them had lost.

But neither had lost.

Calling it a draw would be most appropriate!

"May I ask for your name..."

A trace of admiration flashed across his face, and Dugu Jian smiled faintly.

Perhaps it was the mutual appreciation between experts.

Even though they had only just met.

And had even fought a battle.

They felt not the slightest hostility toward each other.

On the contrary, the tone of their conversation was as if they had encountered old friends.

This left Dugu Yifang, standing to the side, completely stunned, his mind filled with question marks.

What was going on?

Shouldn't they be at daggers drawn and starting a fight right now?

Why wasn't there even a hint of gunpowder?

"The Third Dragon Head of the Azure Dragon Society, Dugu Qiubai!"

He chuckled softly.

Dugu Qiubai replied in a deep voice.

"Oh? The Azure Dragon Society? Interesting."

"I wonder what important business you have with this old man?"

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

Dugu Jian spoke again with a chuckle.

Then, thinking of something.

He narrowed his eyes.

His face showed a bit more interest.

140-Dugu Jian: Hiss, so fragrant! (Requesting auto-subscription)

Although he lived in seclusion in the Sword Hut.

He still knew quite a bit about the news regarding the Azure Dragon Society.

Therefore.

Upon learning that Dugu Qiubai was the Third Dragon Head of the Azure Dragon Society.

He couldn't help but feel a bit of interest.

"Coming here this time, I don't really have any other purpose."

"Mainly, the Great Dragon Head knows your sword path is peerless and wants to invite you to join our Azure Dragon Society."

Facing his directness.

Dugu Qiubai did not beat around the bush.

On the contrary, he stated his purpose quite frankly.

"Hmm? Your Great Dragon Head knows of me?"

Dugu Jian was slightly taken aback.

Then he was astonished.

Having lived alone in the Sword Hut for many years.

Let alone the newly merged Nine Provinces.

Even within Yunzhou itself.

His reputation had gradually faded with the passage of time.

Not to say he was unknown.

But at the very least, only the older generation of martial artists would remember him.

Yet, in such a situation.

The other party was able to know his information.

One had to admit.

This was truly beyond his expectations.

At the same time.

He felt a trace of shock in his heart regarding the intelligence capabilities of the Azure Dragon Society!

How long had it been since the Nine Provinces merged?

To have developed their intelligence to this point.

One could only say, is it worthy of being the Azure Dragon Society that even the three great dynasties fear?!

Fortunately, Ximen Wudi was not here.

Otherwise, he would certainly be amused by his self-imagined theories.

And then sigh, 'What a wonderful misunderstanding this is.'

Of course.

That is a story for later, and we shall not mention it for now.

Let us return to Dugu Qiubai.

Upon hearing his answer, a rare look of admiration appeared on his serious face.

His tone was even filled with reverence, as well as a trace of unperceived pride.

"The Great Dragon Head is omnipotent! It is not strange that he knows your information!"

"Oh? If that is the case, then didn't your Great Dragon Head calculate that this old man might refuse?"

Dugu Jian raised an eyebrow.

The smile on his face grew even wider.

"You will not refuse!"

Dugu Qiubai replied without hesitation.

While speaking.

His face was full of seriousness and certainty.

Hearing this.

Dugu Jian, who was already curious, became even more curious.

He composed his expression and stared straight at him with piercing eyes.

"The reason."

"Give this old man a reason that cannot be refused!"

Although he had not yet met Ximen Wudi.

For some reason.

He always had the feeling that the other party had seen right through him.
