Dugu Chen sat cross-legged in the snow, beginning to adjust his condition.
Ice Empress came to Snow Empress's side and wrapped both hands around her wrist. "Snow Empress, be careful when you spar later. Don't get hurt."
"Mm, don't worry. I know my limits!"
Snow Empress smiled gently, looking at Ice Empress with a trace of longing in her eyes.
When Ice Empress saw that look in her eyes, she felt a little guilty. Why did she always feel as though she had let Snow Empress down?
A long while later.
"Sword, come!"
Only then did Dugu Chen rise to his feet again. With a wave of his right hand, dense killing intent burst forth in tangible form, and a crimson ribbon gradually condensed around his hand.
He held the blood-colored ribbon horizontally in both hands. With a sweep of his left hand, the blade and hilt of the Asura Demon Sword slowly emerged.
As the Asura Demon Sword appeared, heaven and earth abruptly changed color. The azure sky suddenly darkened.
Blood energy filled the air as the wind swept away the clouds.
"Is this a divine weapon? It feels so powerful!"
Ice Empress stared fixedly at the Asura Demon Sword in Dugu Chen's palm. This was the second time she had sensed the Asura Demon Sword.
Yet for some reason, when Dugu Chen held it this time, its might was even more astonishing than when he had cleaved through the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Snow Empress, come on. I'm ready!"
Dugu Chen held the Asura Demon Sword as his body slowly rose into the air until he was level with Snow Empress, calmly looking at her.
This time, he did not intend to use his Martial Soul. He merely wanted to compare sword techniques.
"Alright, then I'll begin!"
Snow Empress nodded
