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 laterâ
I was never a match for him.
However.
It wasnât that I wanted to compete with him.
I justâ
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.
âIt was a Destructive Main God!
He stared at Xiao Mengyu.
Xiao Mengyu didnât 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 sheâs dead, the pursuit by the three Destructive Main Gods would end!
Xiao Mengyu still didnât 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.
âAlready within striking distance.
He adjusted his whole bodyâs strength, slowed his tone, and said: "Iâ"
Clang!
A sound of the swordâs 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.
âHis strength was about five times that of hers, just one axe could cut both her and the sword in half!
He couldnât 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 thenâ
Explosion.
âThe trait of Destruction is explosion!
Butâ
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 opponentâs long sword.
Then.
Slashâ
This strike went from slow to fast, abruptly reaching the extreme, beyond what he could track.
âIt 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 Tribulationâs Destruction to explode... yet itâs Basic Sword Technique?" The Destructive Main God said.
"Yes, Iâm too weak. I must lay a solid foundation before I can pursue the true Sword Dao."
Xiao Mengyuâs tone was calm, as if stating a fact.
The Destructive Main Godâs 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.
âBoth 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 wonât die."
"Do you think you can defeat us three alone?" A Destructive Main God said.
"Iâll count to five, and when I finish, Iâll kill." Xiao Mengyu said.
"I saw that strike of yours. If you fight us to the death, youâll 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.
âThe 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.
âBut 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.
âAnother had been killed just now.
Xiao Mengyuâs injuries werenât light either.
"Why donât 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! Donât 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.
Butâ
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 couldnât bear it any longer and shouted:
"We will die together, never letting you succeed."
"Good." Xiao Mengyu said.
"Good?" The other couldnât help but ask.
Xiao Mengyu, somewhat wistful, softly spoke: "Yes, better to die than to be a dragging weaklingâbut if I really kill you allâ"
"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.
"Whatâhow 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 hadnât moved at all!
âShe 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 herâ
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 Mengyuâs garments, revealing the extensive bloodstains.
She was wounded.
But she didnât care, just lowered her eyes to her sword, silently and wordlessly.
Ready to strike at any moment.
But she didnât strike, only kept accumulating power.
Suddenly.
One of the Destructive Main Gods sighed long and said:
"Letâs 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.
