Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 1423: Chapter 604: His Blade, Her Sword (Part 4)

Yes.

From the moment he faced The Skinner, he made people see him in a new light.

Clearly, it was something impossible.

Yet he found a way.

Whether it was the twists and turns of the exams, the calamity deep beneath the school, or later—

I was never a match for him.

However.

It wasn’t that I wanted to compete with him.

I just—

Wanted to fight alongside him.

...Do I not even have this qualification?

The dark church was silent.

Without a sound.

A figure shrouded in Black Flame suddenly appeared.

—It was a Destructive Main God!

He stared at Xiao Mengyu.

Xiao Mengyu didn’t turn her head, nor did she pay him any attention.

The Destructive Main God thought for a moment, then spoke:

"Esteemed goddess, I ran away before, but soon realized I was wrong."

"Please forgive me."

"May I follow you?"

He stepped forward step by step, the madness in his eyes growing stronger.

Unexpectedly.

With no one around, her aura and fluctuations were fully exposed.

So weak!

So weak...

Why not kill her?

Once she’s dead, the pursuit by the three Destructive Main Gods would end!

Xiao Mengyu still didn’t speak, as if she had lost her breath.

"Goddess, I am willing to offer the City of Destruction I guard to show my loyalty."

He came closer.

—Already within striking distance.

He adjusted his whole body’s strength, slowed his tone, and said: "I—"

Clang!

A sound of the sword’s song.

The Luo Shen Sword was drawn by Xiao Mengyu, slicing toward him.

"Is this swordsmanship? Too weak!"

He watched this strike, extremely excited, and swung a Battle Axe, screaming.

—His strength was about five times that of hers, just one axe could cut both her and the sword in half!

He couldn’t figure it out.

How did she become the Main God being this weak?

In a flash.

Anomaly suddenly occurred.

The entire church, even the whole world, seemed to be filled with boundless Dark Intense Flame.

Sticky, twisted, compressed Destruction Source Power gathered around the woman, absorbing all the strength of the Destruction Tribulation, and then—

Explosion.

—The trait of Destruction is explosion!

But—

How could it be done to such a degree?

He looked up at the black flames reaching heaven, watching the power capable of destroying everything burst from the opponent’s long sword.

Then.

Slash—

This strike went from slow to fast, abruptly reaching the extreme, beyond what he could track.

—It was as if she pulled the sword outward once, and without completing the move, she sheathed her sword.

Clang!

In the blink of an eye.

All anomalies disappeared.

The sword was back in the scabbard.

Xiao Mengyu stood there unharmed, raised her head, and seriously looked at the Destructive Main God opposite.

"What did you just say?"

She asked.

The Destructive Main God was silent for a few breaths, then said: "What is your swordsmanship."

"Basic Sword Technique," Xiao Mengyu said.

"Utilizing the power of the entire Great Tribulation’s Destruction to explode... yet it’s Basic Sword Technique?" The Destructive Main God said.

"Yes, I’m too weak. I must lay a solid foundation before I can pursue the true Sword Dao."

Xiao Mengyu’s tone was calm, as if stating a fact.

The Destructive Main God’s physique wobbled a few times.

He slowly knelt on the ground, laughed and cried, murmuring:

"...Ridiculous."

"Had I known you had such swordsmanship, what difference would it make if I truly followed you?"

The Battle Axe broke.

A body split apart.

Blood splattered five steps away.

Dark flames surged up from the ground, like boiling water, gathered behind Xiao Mengyu.

Her expression unchanged, she calmly said:

"Come out."

Dark flames silently appeared in the church.

Several Destructive Main Gods walked out from the Dark flames, surrounding her.

They were scrutinizing her.

—Both scrutinizing and waiting.

Waiting for her to reveal a flaw.

But she spoke:

"The Destruction Surrender Ceremony is simple. If you hold the ceremony and contribute your strength, you won’t die."

"Do you think you can defeat us three alone?" A Destructive Main God said.

"I’ll count to five, and when I finish, I’ll kill." Xiao Mengyu said.

"I saw that strike of yours. If you fight us to the death, you’ll die too." Another Destructive Main God said.

Xiao Mengyu glanced at him, then said:

"Five."

"Why do we have to suffer mutual destruction? Actually, we could form an alliance," the third Destructive Main God said.

—The sword had already been drawn.

This sword was different from the last one.

Xiao Mengyu merged with the sword, becoming a streak of Sword Aura, broke through the cathedral in an instant, destination unknown.

The next second.

She gracefully returned to the church.

A dagger was embedded in her shoulder, blood gushing out.

—But among the three Destructive Main Gods, one was already gone.

"This move I use is very dangerous because my strength was not enough to kill you all, so I activated the second layer of the Sword technique, sacrificing defense, risking death, to use this move."

She explained.

Endless Dark flames rose from the ground, entering the bodies of the two.

—Another had been killed just now.

Xiao Mengyu’s injuries weren’t light either.

"Why don’t we just stop here?" She asked.

Among the two Destructive Main Gods, one showed a slightly relaxed expression, but the other suddenly shouted loudly:

"Damn it! Don’t get distracted!"

That one immediately realized.

Indeed.

Her sword and strategies were too unpredictable.

To have relaxed!

Damn it!

The two hurriedly crowded together, assuming a defensive stance.

But—

Nothing happened.

Xiao Mengyu did not seize the opportunity to attack, she just stood there leisurely, as if she had no intention to fight at all.

Could she really want to stop here?

The two Destructive Main Gods were pondering when she once more spoke, saying:

"Three."

Three!

She would kill when she reaches one!

A Destructive Main God couldn’t bear it any longer and shouted:

"We will die together, never letting you succeed."

"Good." Xiao Mengyu said.

"Good?" The other couldn’t help but ask.

Xiao Mengyu, somewhat wistful, softly spoke: "Yes, better to die than to be a dragging weakling—but if I really kill you all—"

"Wait." A Destructive Main God suddenly spoke.

"Two." Xiao Mengyu said.

She drew her long sword.

A death wish emanated from her Sword Intent, mixing with the infinite Destruction power in the Void, transforming into flames that spread everywhere.

The two Destructive Main Gods were very discerning.

"Perfect compatibility with traits!" One said.

"What—how is it possible, completely compatible with the will of Destruction! Perhaps she is the original body of Destruction!" The other was speechless.

"One." Xiao Mengyu said.

The two of them let out a simultaneous roar, ready to meet her attack.

Yet she remained still.

She hadn’t moved at all!

—She had tricked them twice in a row!

All the Destruction Source Power was accumulating within her, growing wilder and more irresistible with every second.

The longer the time, the more advantageous for her!

But to actively attack her—

The first one to go would surely die!

The two Main Gods hesitated greatly, and time passed by.

Wind.

The wind rose.

The strong wind lifted Xiao Mengyu’s garments, revealing the extensive bloodstains.

She was wounded.

But she didn’t care, just lowered her eyes to her sword, silently and wordlessly.

Ready to strike at any moment.

But she didn’t strike, only kept accumulating power.

Suddenly.

One of the Destructive Main Gods sighed long and said:

"Let’s give up, and let us complete that ceremony."

His companion also abandoned defense.

Before they even struck, they were already doomed to lose.

Too crazy.

Never had they seen swordsmanship like this.

Never had they seen such a heart-attacking Sword Intent.
