Chapter 236: Chapter 165: Sword Slaughters the Devil Clan’s Top Arrogant Talent!_3

Three Pure Daoist asked, "Do you want to temper his heart?"

Chi Yu Zi and Jun Yan had a slight epiphany; they had been around Gu Wen day and night and had more or less sensed it. Considering the other possessed the Immortal Sword, a bit of pride did not seem problematic, being too humble might even seem hypocritical.

Now it was rather arrogant to attempt to challenge Ao Heng with a Fifth Level of Dao Foundation.

"Yes, he still needs tempering: he really is all nerves. He’s still clinging to the old ways he developed at Dragon Bridge, always considering avoiding damage, dodging, and even fleeing."

Yu Hua raised her head to look at Gu Wen’s departing figure. Her voice was unhurried, carrying an air of inevitability.

"I hope he understands through Ao Heng that he is invincible and thus becomes mad with power and proud of his talents."

Others thought Gu Wen was too proud, but she felt he was too humble.

In eight months, reaching the fulfilled Fifth Level Yuqing Daoji, the True Sword Dao, and the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, he ought to have taken his position with an unmatched presence and stepped onto the true path of the invincible.

Not fearing to shorten his own life, causing Chi Yu Zi to be disabled, or losses among his companions, thereby limiting himself starting to hesitate and be overly cautious. But historically, every Immortal achieved greatness by paving their path with countless failures and having enemies and friends perish along the way.

Gu Wen was still too gentle; such gentle people could not survive in the Cultivation World.

He must accept that others could not keep up with his pace, even he could not.

Someday, I will not be able to keep up with him; he must get used to the loneliness of the Immortal Path.

The Three Pure Daoist slightly cocked his head, his cold visage slightly perplexed.

The Heavenly Girl was speaking bluntly, but it was so direct that she found it somewhat incomprehensible.

"Let’s see, unmatched under heaven."

Boom!

The dragon roared shaking the heavens, the hundred-yard Azure Dragon breathed dragon fire, and the clouds looking like red dawn collapsed, pressing downward.

Gu Wen steadily ascended, the higher he went it seemed the gravity of the earth veins grew heavier, as if trying to drag him into the abyss.

With one sword strike, he cut through both the fire dawn clouds and the additional weight bestowed by heaven and earth.

The red clouds parted, revealing Ao Heng’s hundred-yard long dragon form. The residual light from the sword hit him, fracturing his scales, but it could not penetrate deeper into his flesh.

His gaze was fierce, his smile mocking, as if viewing an ant shaking a tree.

Gu Wen reached for the Immortal Sword on his back, drawing it from its sheath which emitted a series of sword cries. The Eighth-Transition Golden Core spun wildly like a roaring giant beast, and instantly his Cycle meridians were filled with raging Mana.

Limits are theoretical; going all out is a limit, risking damage to the meridians is a limit, serious damage to the meridians is also a limit.

This sword strike depleted most of Gu Wen’s Mana.

Clang!

Barely revealing the sword blade, an invisible sharpness vibrated through the void, and falling sparks shattered.

Ao Heng’s smile abruptly ceased.

Clang!

Half the blade revealed, another sword cry, Ao Heng’s form swelled to three hundred yards, his aura reaching the fulfilled Sixth Level Dao Foundation.

Clang!

The Immortal Sword fully drawn, it seemed as if nothing else existed between heaven and earth but this sword.

Ao Heng’s form expanded again to six hundred yards, reaching the Seventh Level Dao Foundation, his expression turning solemn.

Gu Wen looked down from the cloud summit, his fingers brushing the supremely icy sword blade, not looking at Ao Heng, and asked indifferently, "Only Seventh Level Dao Foundation?"

The sword swung, seemingly slow but fast, the strike only stirring a faint breeze.

Ao Heng frowned in confusion; then a chill rushed to his forehead, infinite sharpness appearing in the surrounding void.

A mystical sound fell.

"Even at Seventh Level Dao Foundation, you must look up to me."

A lunar brilliance broke through the clouds, as if a bright moon was plummeting.

Ao Heng, too, had pride in his heart and was reluctant to enhance his realm or use Divine Skills against the bright moon, his dragon body gradually engulfing the moonlight.

The next moment, a resounding dragon chant echoed.

As the moonlight gradually cracked and diminished, it finally shattered into countless gleaming fragments in the air.

The thousand-yard long dragon form was revealed, distinctively at the fulfilled Seventh Level of the Eighth Level Dao Foundation.

Ao Heng’s gaze darkened, lasting a long time in silence; he wasn’t gravely injured yet had used his full strength.

The jokes about being invincible among peers, in front of Gu Wen he couldn’t even maintain the superiority of two levels, needing three levels higher to not look disgraceful.

Gu Wen slowly landed on the tip of Dragon Head’s nose, another Immortal Sword materializing, the sword pointed at the center of its forehead.

He slightly lifted his head, displaying not a bit of modesty, nor much fluctuation in his breath, only murmuring lightly,

"You lost, bastard."

Threads of understanding surged in his mind, no longer needing Heavenly Marrow to propel; the sword in his hand glowed brilliantly.

Taoist Sword Seventh Level, Buddha Sword Fifth Level, Demon Sword Fifth Level.

True Sword Dao Fifth Level, Moonlight Reflecting in the Sky.

Invincible among equals, surpassing one level invincible, surpassing two levels invincible, soon invincible even over three levels. If I had the cultivation of the Eighth Level Dao Foundation, why would I need to hide?

Again, the Celestial and Terrestrial Rankings moved, second in the Terrestrial Ranking, third in the Celestial Ranking.
