I know... without using the Evil God Slash, I wouldn't have said that I'd win today, it's even hard to make a move, the difference in strength is making it hard for me to breathe when facing that withered old man head-on.

  Gently closing my eyes, I exhaled the stagnant air in my chest. The next moment... I slowly lifted my right hand, inch by inch, each movement was so difficult for me.

  A formless frenzy is swirling around me, although I can't see it, but I can feel it clearly, I don't know if it's real or an illusion.

  Finally...my right hand rose to the position of my chest, at the same time...the evil god's slash slowly, eerily, bit by bit emerged from another space, my hand firmly grasped the hilt.

  Boom!

  The moment I grasped the Evil God Slayer, I felt my spirit being violently struck, and endless killing intent quickly engulfed my sanity. The next moment... I once again became a true Evil God.

  Suddenly opening my eyes, both pupils were blood red. At this moment... I could no longer feel the other's shocking and terrifying aura. My body and mind were completely occupied by intense killing intent and hatred. At this moment... I was a wicked god!

  In Kusa's eyes, the opponent was suddenly magnified and maddened at the moment when he grasped his sword. A blood-red mist quickly emanated from his body, slowly but firmly destroying his own momentum that had been unleashed with full force. The sunlight melted them away in an instant like snow.

  At the same time... a cool and refreshing aura that was beyond his imagination, even more so than he had personally experienced before, surged forth like a tidal wave, quickly submerging him.

  At the same time... the other party's footsteps began to move, slow but firm step by step towards him. Kusata knew that if he didn't go all out, he would really die!

  Roar!

  In a burst of rage, Kusatsu's entire body radiated light as he unleashed his fighting spirit with all his might. The next moment... A gigantic sword that was completely disproportionate to his body appeared in his hand.

  He didn't dare to slack off, Kusa Dora knew that if he didn't take advantage of the brief moment when his Dou Qi was surging to launch a counterattack, once he relaxed, he would be overwhelmed by this boundless killing intent. At that time... he would be defeated without a fight!

  Moonlight Wind Slash!

  In a loud roar, Kusaruda unleashed his signature move, the one he was most proud of. He had made up his mind to decide life and death in one blow! And he was confident that he would be the one who would come out alive.

  On the other hand, looking at Kusarado who suddenly broke free from my murderous aura's restraint and was now wildly swinging a giant sword towards me, I couldn't help but let out a long whistle as I charged forward without any hesitation.

  Dong! Dong! Dong!

  In the blink of an eye, Kusa and I had exchanged six blows, each impact ringing out loud. Although I didn't want to, I found myself taking huge strides backward after every hit, unable to stop.

  Finally... after six slashes, the opponent's offensive momentum stalled. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I quickly retreated, not because I wanted to yield, but... my arm had gone completely numb from the previous six consecutive collisions, and the pain was surging in waves, making it impossible for me to continue swinging.

  Hahaha...

  "Awesome! It's been a long time since I've met someone who can go toe-to-toe with me at full strength for six rounds. Refreshing!"

  Shaking his head in admiration for a while, Kusado Tada looked up at me and said: "I don't understand why you suddenly had the intention to kill me. I don't remember knowing you. Can you tell me? Why did you want to kill me?"

  Operating quietly, the true energy inside my body is constantly nourishing the severely damaged meridians. This withered old man's strength is actually greater than that of a Water Buffalo Beast. It seems... being a mid-ranking swordsman isn't just an empty title after all.

  Since he's not in a hurry to attack, he probably judged my current situation. After all... the energy gap between us is obvious, but... I believe he's also having a hard time.

  Just now in the duel, I used both hands to grip the knife every time. Although the opponent's overwhelming aura crushed me overall, their physical shock was not much better than mine.

  Whether it's Qi or internal force, both are inseparable from the physical body. It's like when you use a knife to chop stone, no matter what, you will always be subject to the reaction force. In scientific terms, this is called - the action of force is mutual!

  While he caused me a great deal of harm, he also suffered more or less from the backlash, after all... He is now an old man, although his martial arts skills have not diminished, but his physical condition has already entered a state of decline.

  Looking at the withered old man's complacent appearance, I really want to summon Silver Magic right now and let him personally deal with this old guy!

  Although Silver Wolf's current strength is only that of a lower-ranked swordsman, he is also a mage of the same rank. With his Wind Blade Heaven Strike, even if he were a mid-ranked swordsman, it's not certain that he would be no match for Silver Magic.

  Wait!

  A bright light flashed through my mind, if Silver Wolf can use martial arts and magic at the same time, why can't I? I'm not just limited to wielding a sword with both hands, using only my right hand to attack is even faster and more agile, it's just that the power is slightly weaker, but in terms of flexibility and technique, it would actually increase by nearly double.

  Hahaha...

  At this thought, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Although I can only cast one fireball spell now, if someone is hit by such magic on their skin, they will still be injured. If it hits a vital spot, it will still be fatal!

  Looking at Kusa, I said calmly: "As long as you hand over all the silver wolves you stole back, I won't bother you, however...I suppose you won't agree to that!"

  Kusa's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Nonsense... Do you think a single sentence can make me return the Silver Wolf cub that I've worked so hard to get? You're too naive!"

  With a faint smile, Kusa Dada continued: "No one doesn't know what Silver Wolf represents. Not to mention its economic value, but from the fact that it can become a War God-level talent, it's the goal pursued by all people under heaven. Would I give it to you just because of your words? Let alone whether you're my opponent or not, even if I couldn't beat you, with so many partners around me, would I be afraid of you?"

  I smiled and shook my head: "I know you won't give it to me, so... today one of us must die here, either you or me, come on and fight!?"

  The last three words I shouted out, after this period of recuperation, my arms have regained their sensation, and with the hilt of the hundred-battle sword in hand, under the urging of killing intent and resentment, my recovery ability has increased exponentially, otherwise... it would be absolutely impossible to recover so quickly.

  On the other hand, I must give credit to the Water Buffalo Beast for a good fight. I've grown accustomed to fighting opponents stronger than myself and the pain in my arms won't affect my combat strength.

  Looking at my confident appearance, Kusa Dora was slightly stunned, no one could recover so quickly from the impact just now, even he hadn't recovered yet, the other party should be much more serious than him, how could they recover so quickly?

  Must be pretending!

  This was Kusatsu Dada's final conclusion, so... He guffawed loudly and waved the treasured sword in his hand, then silently passed away.

  Dong! Dong! Dong!

  In the nine consecutive impacts, I didn't end up like just now, my right arm was numb and aching abnormally, but I hadn't lost feeling!

  A surge of excitement rose from the bottom of my heart, in these nine knives just now, I didn't try to hard fight with the opponent, every knife hit the position where the opponent was most difficult to exert force, the concentrated Dou Qi points of the opponent were all avoided by me, making the opponent's attack very awkward and very unsmooth!

  When the opponent's aura was finally released and retreated in defeat, I still maintained my combat strength. Although I didn't have the ability to launch an attack on the opponent, it was enough for defense.

  Looking at the astonished face of Kusa Dora, I secretly smiled in my heart. The opponent's aura was obviously several levels stronger than mine, but... his sharp aura couldn't accurately hit me every time. Each time, I chose to attack the area where the opponent's aura was relatively weak, and as a result, we were surprisingly evenly matched in terms of energy!

  Having received such great encouragement, I once again reaffirmed my own views that it is absolutely not the case that whoever has a stronger aura is more formidable; intelligence will always be more important than brute force!

  What's the use of having more power? What's the use of having a stronger aura? If I don't let you unleash it, what difference does it make whether you have it or not? Just give me some more time to get used to this, and I can totally take down that guy! I'm absolutely confident in myself!

  (Those with votes, hurry up and cast them, or you'll be left behind, hehe...)
