The two exchanged another three blows. In the end, Dao Lord Taichu was still at a disadvantage. He was sent flying by a vicious strike, then crashed heavily to the ground and coughed up a trace of blood.
Tian Yuan Saint Ancestor staggered as well, nearly collapsing onto the ground.
But he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand firm.
"Dao Lord Taichu, you have lost!"
Tian Yuan Saint Ancestor said arrogantly.
Dao Lord Taichu rose to his feet and wiped the blood from his lips. He stared coldly at Tian Yuan Saint Ancestor and sneered. "Tian Yuan, I never expected you to have hidden such formidable strength. It seems I underestimated you!"
Tian Yuan Saint Ancestor said blandly, "You are nothing but an ant. You cannot comprehend my power."
"Arrogant!"
Dao Lord Taichu snorted, forming seals rapidly with both hands. One Magic Seal after another merged together, condensing into an enormous sword radiance that slashed viciously at Tian Yuan Saint Ancestor.
Screech!
The massive sword radiance tore through the heavens, slicing a long rift through space itself.
Tian Yuan Saint Ancestor snorted coldly. "Nothing but a petty trick!"
He thrust out one palm, blocking the giant sword directly.
Boom!
The sword radiance vanished instantly, but a fine wound appeared on Tian Yuan Saint Ancestor's arm, blood dripping continuously from it.
"How is this possible?"
Disbelief filled Tian Yuan Saint Ancestor's face. Although the sword radiance was not especially powerful, it possessed terrifying penetrating force and could easily break through his defenses.
"Dao Lord Taichu, it seems you do have some skill. Then I truly cannot allow you to live!"
Tian Yuan Saint Ancestor said in a deep voice, icy light flashing in his eyes. He then gripped a massive cauldron with both hands as waves of scorching flames
