864: The Headless General, the Dharma Body of the Confucian Sage
City Lord's Manor.
Inside a pavilion on the back mountain.
A white-haired middle-aged man was drinking; he was the ruler of Sword Emperor City, the Sword Emperor.
A powerhouse of the Venerable Realm!
The Sword Emperor glanced at the sky and smiled faintly, "Ten Thousand Lights? This sword strike is truly extraordinary! That burial flower sword of his is also quite remarkable..."
As for the burial flower sword, ordinary people naturally wouldn't know its name.
But as a Sword Dao Venerable and a Disciple of the Confucian Sage, the Sword Emperor knew more; that sword was a legendary evil sword related to an ancient great sect in the Central Region.
"An interesting young man has arrived. There's no need to rely on cultivation to fight him; I'll suppress it to the Kou Gong Realm to battle him!"
The Sword Emperor spoke with a smile.
Relying on cultivation to fight Xie Weilou? It was meaningless!
That kid held terrifying trump cards; if you suppressed him with cultivation, he could suppress you with his trump cards.
In that case, it was better to suppress one's cultivation for a normal battle.
Boom!
At the same time, the gates to the seventeenth and eighteenth floors of the Sword Pavilion opened.
From the seventeenth floor, a Headless General wearing blood-colored battle armor and holding a blood-colored longsword walked out.
From the eighteenth floor, a young man in an elegant blue robe with silver-white hair emerged.
Both of them exuded the pressure of the Dao Seeking Realm.
"..."
Xie Weilou looked at the Headless General and the young man, a strange look appearing in his eyes.
Mr. Shu bowed to the two; neither of them was simple.
One was a general of the Imperial Dynasty whose head had been severed by a powerful enemy; unable to recover it for a thousand years, he remained headless and stayed in Sword Emperor City.
As for the young man, he was not an Immortal Master, but an undying dharma body left behind by the Confucian Sage.
"Two very impressive young men have come to Sword Emperor City today."
The Confucian Sage Dharma Body spoke with a smile, his voice incredibly gentle, making one feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Xie Weilou looked at the two and cupped his fists with a smile, "May I ask for your honorable names, Seniors?"
Both were extraordinary, with terrifying auras; without using his trump cards, he could not possibly be their match.
Especially the young man; though he exuded the aura of the Dao Seeking Realm, Xie Weilou couldn't see through him at all. The Vast Righteous Qi hidden within the man was more terrifying than anyone he had ever seen.
The Headless General emitted a Divine Soul ripple: "I am but a nameless nobody!"
He had fought a great battle with a powerful enemy and had his head severed by a single sword strike; for many years, he had been unable to reclaim it.
The enemy's Sword Qi filled his entire body, ravaging his form and making recovery impossible. Only by refining and resolving that Sword Qi could he hope to progress further and restore his head.
This was a disgrace to him, and he did not wish to mention his name from the past.
Perhaps only when he resolved the Sword Qi in his body and his head was restored would he truly be a general of the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty.
The Confucian Sage Dharma Body smiled gently: "I am merely a dharma body."
He then looked at the burial flower sword in Xie Weilou's hand and revealed a meaningful smile.
"I see! Why don't both Seniors take action together?"
Xie Weilou looked at the two.
The Confucian Sage Dharma Body smiled and said, "He will suppress his cultivation to Kou Gong Peak to fight you. If you win, you can directly take the items from the seventeenth and eighteenth floors. What do you think? As for me, I will not act; I will only watch."
"That works too."
Xie Weilou nodded slightly.
Since they weren't relying on cultivation to suppress him, he wouldn't need to sacrifice the human emperor banner.
The Headless General immediately suppressed his cultivation, and the aura of Kou Gong Peak emanated from him.
Even though he suppressed his cultivation, he had, after all, stepped into the Dao Seeking Realm; his combat power was naturally far beyond that of a typical Kou Gong Peak.
At the very least, if Mr. Shu were to fight him at Kou Gong Peak, he would definitely be no match!
Buzz!
The Confucian Sage Dharma Body waved his hand gently, and a massive bronze combat platform appeared above.
The Headless General and Xie Weilou moved, appearing on the combat platform.
The Headless General gripped his longsword: "Please!"
"..."
Xie Weilou didn't waste words; he lunged toward the Headless General and raised his hand for a Mount Hua Split.
The burial flower sword slashed down, accompanied by terrifying Devilish Qi, black light flashing with extreme ferocity.
The Headless General reacted quickly; the moment Xie Weilou swung his sword, he gripped his own sword with one hand and immediately parried.
Boom!
The two swords clashed in a cross shape, sparks flying and a roar echoing as powerful Sword Qi swept through the surroundings.
Xie Weilou's gaze sharpened, and the Devilish Qi on his body surged, intending to crush the Headless General's frame.
The Headless General gripped his sword with both hands; pressure surged as Dao Principles emerged. The blood-colored longsword in his hand trembled, and a domineering Sword Qi swept out with rolling ferocity.
Boom!
Xie Weilou was instantly blown back.
Before he could steady himself, the Headless General was already before him, his longsword thrusting forward fiercely, aiming straight for Xie Weilou's chest.
The Sword Qi was cold and the blood-light flickered, sending shivers down one's spine.
Xie Weilou moved, stepping to the side, and the Headless General brushed right past him.
The Headless General stomped his foot and immediately spun around, slashing his sword toward Xie Weilou's back.
Xie Weilou swung his hand back, placing his longsword behind his back to block.
Boom!
The blood-colored longsword struck the burial flower sword, and a powerful force erupted, yet this strike did not push Xie Weilou back.
Xie Weilou increased the strength in his hand; the three other shore flowers on the burial flower sword flickered with blood-light, and a devouring force surged out, tightly gripping the blood-colored longsword and neutralizing its momentum.
Boom!
Xie Weilou's body coiled; using the opponent's momentum against him, he swung his sword back and flung the Headless General, along with his sword, twenty meters away.
He stomped his foot and charged upward; before the Headless General could steady himself, he slashed down with a strike that could split heaven and earth. The Sword Qi was like a Dragon, crisscrossing in all directions.
Sensing Xie Weilou's approach, the Headless General did not dodge. Instead, he stepped through the air and swung his sword toward Xie Weilou.
Bang!
The two clashed once more; a burst of explosive sound rang out, and the Headless General was smashed into the combat platform below by the powerful force.
"..."
Xie Weilou swung his sword rapidly, slashing vertically. Devilish Qi raged and Sword Qi grew fierce, filled with an endless intent to kill.
The Headless General swung his sword with one hand to block above him, while his other hand pressed against the blade to increase his defensive power.
Boom!
Xie Weilou's burial flower sword slashed down, domineering Devilish Qi sweeping out as it struck the blood-colored longsword heavily.
Several cracks appeared on the bronze platform beneath the Headless General's feet, and he retreated half a step.
Xie Weilou raised his leg and kicked the Headless General in the chest.
Bang!
The powerful force slammed into the Headless General's chest, a crack appearing in his blood-colored battle armor as he was kicked back over ten meters.
Shink!
In the moment he was knocked back, he suddenly hurled his blood-colored longsword. The sword shot out like a bolt, aiming straight for Xie Weilou's head.
Xie Weilou immediately tilted his head; the blood-colored longsword grazed his face, severing a strand of hair.
The Headless General quickly steadied himself, stomped the ground, and lunged in front of Xie Weilou. Clenching his fists, he threw a domineering punch at Xie Weilou...
