"As long as someone from Class One Hall can receive one slash from me and not die, I will agree to your request."
Responsible Hero's arrogant answer angered Drifting Sword, who had been watching coldly by the side for a long time. He said coldly, "If I receive your sword slash, will I immediately join White Robe Sect?"
"You won't be able to take a single strike from me."
Responsible Hero's gaze landed on Drifting Sword.
Happy instantly laughed.
"How would we know if we don't give it a try …" Before he could finish his words, a resplendent and holy snowflake suddenly blossomed right before Drifting Sword's eyes!
Drifting Sword's thoughts of activating his body fortification technique and moving his body were quickly extinguished. He was simply incapable of doing anything as his vision rapidly turned black.
"You've submitted the duel for so long, yet you still haven't made your move. I've given you a chance."
Responsible Hero seemed to have done something incredibly unintentional. He redirected his gaze from Drifting Sword's corpse on the ground to Barren Murderer, who had a solemn expression on his face.
"I heard that your Undying King of Abyss Art has incredibly domineering defense, and even Happy can't kill you in one go. Right now, you've also practiced Heaven and Earth Great Shift from Persia. You must be the strongest person in Class One Hall. Does Dream Clouds intend to have you receive my sword technique?"
"…"
Barren Murderer was still immersed in the brilliance that had suddenly appeared. He stared at the bloody gash on Drifting Sword's throat in a daze, and he did not say anything for a long time.
He was very clear about Drifting Sword's strength!
During the battle in Yangzhou, many of Class One Hall's elites were not his opponent. His skills had already reached perfection, and he was not weaker than Happy.
This sort of elite actually did not have the ability to fight back in front of Responsible Hero …
Moreover, that sword strike just now, that speed …
It was unbelievably fast!
Is this Ximen Chuixue's Sword-Drawing Technique?!
The peerless sword that could instantly kill a top-notch expert was even broken through his body protection?
Barren Murderer stared at Responsible Hero with a burning gaze, and his eyes shone with excitement and eagerness to fight.
Even though Drifting Sword's strength was about the same as his, when it came to body fortification, Undying King of Abyss Art was unparalleled in the current world of martial artists. If it was just one slash, Happy was one hundred percent confident that he could withstand it.
When he saw that Barren Murderer was stunned and did not say anything, Responsible Hero did not say anything either. He just turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait."
Barren Murderer called out to Responsible Hero from behind. "Did you just say that as long as someone from Class One Hall can withstand your sword slash, you'll join Class One Hall?"
When he heard this, Responsible Hero turned around slowly, and a burning light shone in his eyes. "You want to try?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking!"
"Very well!" Responsible Hero did not say anything else and sent a request for a duel.
Buzz!!
A golden flag fell from the sky between the two of them and quickly disappeared.
Seeing this, the surrounding people retreated.
"As usual, I'll give you the chance to make the first move." Responsible Hero took a small step back and widened the distance between them. His tone did not change, and he was as arrogant as ever. In fact, he did not even put his hand on his sword hilt, and he appeared to be very calm.
Barren Murderer laughed madly and activated Undying King of Abyss' Body Fortification without holding back. His skin instantly turned from yellow to white before it swiftly turned black. All the skin that was exposed to the air instantly turned black, and there was even a faint metallic light shining on it. He was like a strange creature that released a thick presence of death.
When he noticed the change in Barren Murderer's body and qi, Responsible Hero looked surprised for the first time.
As Barren Murderer's qi continued increasing after he activated his qi realm, Responsible Hero's gaze gradually turned solemn. He took another step back, and his right hand slowly went to his sword hilt.
For some unknown reason, Responsible Hero sensed a hint of threat from the thick black smoke that spread out from Barren Murderer's body. It was the threat of death, and his body instinctively reacted.
When they noticed the solemn expression on Responsible Hero's face, the Class One Hall members around them looked excited.
For the first time, someone made Responsible Hero change his proud and aloof expression, which had never changed before. This person was even their vice hall master, so there was no way they would not be excited.
However, only Barren Murderer knew that the thick black smoke spreading out from his body was actually the poisonous gas he released after his Undying King of Abyss Art reached its peak. It had the effect of weakening his enemies' abilities.
To be able to receive Responsible Hero's sword slash, he used his killing move right at the start of the fight!
But unfortunately for him, Responsible Hero noticed it, and when he retreated this time, he was just in time to get out of the area where the poisonous gas enveloped, and he was very decisive.
Clang!
He drew his longsword.
Barren Murderer might have increased his guard by one hundred and twenty percent, but he still did not expect that Responsible Hero would choose this moment to take a step back and attack. His timing was perfect, and it was the moment when his guard instantly fell to rock bottom.
A string of dazzling and sacred snowflakes flashed past his eyes.
Barren Murderer's expression instantly changed.
An incredibly sharp power that was firm and persistent instantly tore through his throat, and some sort of liquid gushed out of the torn wound in a frenzy.
Thud!
He fell on the street at the entrance like he was pushed over a golden brick and toppled over a jade pillar. The group of Class One Hall members were incredibly shocked.
They did not expect that even Barren Murderer would not be able to escape from the fate of being killed with one slash.
"You can search for someone else."
Responsible Hero slowly sheathed his sword indifferently, turned around, and was prepared to step through the door.
"As expected of Ximen Chuixue's disciple. You live up to your name."
But at that moment, a clear voice traveled into everyone's ears from the roof across from them, and it was like a demonic voice that made Responsible Hero stop in his tracks when he was about to return to the courtyard.
Responsible Hero was already a little tired of drawing his sword against the bronze men day after day. He was more than happy to have someone die under his sword so that he could understand and improve his sword technique through the duel.
He turned around without hesitation and said to the person whose face could not be seen clearly on the roof, "If you're here to challenge me to a duel, then I'll attack together with you so that I don't have to constantly go in and out."
"You sound very confident, but I'm a rather strange person. If I receive that slash from you, I won't be able to worship you with the high position Class One Hall offered, and I won't have an astronomical monthly salary or a fourth-echelon divine weapon either. What should I do?"
"You're indeed a strange person."
Responsible Hero frowned and stared at the person who seemed to be very relaxed and wild. He said, "The people who come here all hope to get me to join their sect, and the conditions they offer are usually very high. Since you don't have anything, why did you come here?
"I came here this time because I wanted to see just how One Emperor lost to you and just how strong you are."
Right when he finished speaking, the players in the alley burst into an uproar.
"Oh."
Responsible Hero was not angry, but a strange light shone in his eyes. "You're the first person who doesn't believe that I defeated One Emperor. Are you saying that you came here purely to challenge me?"
"I can't say that I'm challenging you." The young man on the roof jumped up lightly and drew a circle in the air before he landed gently in front of Responsible Hero in a very pleased manner. He revealed a face that caused the Class One Hall members in the area to suck in sharp breaths. "I'm just here to experience Ximen Chuixue's successor's sword draw."
'Happy has arrived!'
