Chapter 2518: Embracing the Challenge
"Perhaps." I gritted my teeth. Xia Ruize was decisive and clean-cut, but he was not necessarily much better than the Xia Ruize from back then. In those days, he would have hesitated more than I did even when killing an ant. Time had changed him—or perhaps this had always been his hidden nature.
Dugu Mu was already consumed by fury. She seemed to have blamed Xia Ruize for the Divine Tortoise Holy Mother's death as well, so her sickle sword attacked with extreme aggression. Every slash seemed bent on taking his life!
Xia Ruize was delighted to see things turn out this way. His Sorrowful Gale Divine Sword was a large-scale offensive sword. Besides being absurdly fast, it could also cover an entire area with its attacks. Thus, to withstand this sword, one needed only a powerful protective barrier and an endless supply of Dao power!
I had already known in the Molten Fire Demon Domain that his strength was no weaker than mine, and this explained it perfectly. In a one-on-one fight, Dugu Mu could not gain the slightest advantage against him. After all, Xia Ruize was also one of the inheritors of the Spirit-Absorbing Method! Thus, while Dugu Mu expended energy attacking, she was also giving the Spirit-Absorbing Method a massive amount of Dao power to absorb.
"I'll go see what's happening inside!" After the Divine Tortoise Holy Mother's death, there was still Wan Songxiao to deal with. Li Xiangru was being handled by Li Poxiao, while Dugu Mu was trapped by Xia Ruize. I immediately charged into the dark clouds, preparing to find Wan Songxiao.
Before long, I followed the sounds of explosions to Qingcheng Ruoxue's location.
"Why are you here? What about Dugu Mu and the Divine Tortoise Holy Mother?"
