As Luo Ge and Badigadi stood facing each other in an open space outside the tavern, more and more demons gathered around to watch the spectacle, having heard that a human wanted to challenge the Demon King.
Most people watched from a distance, discussing the outcome... some even placed bets on the spot, wagering on the result of this human challenge against the Demon King.
"Place your bets now! The Wise Demon King pays three times the stake, the Human Youth pays ten times the stake!"
"I'm betting on His Majesty the Demon King! All in! All in on the Demon King!!"
"I'm betting on that human race. It's a high-risk, high-reward gamble, a sure-fire way to make money..."
Amidst the cheers and jeers from the surrounding crowd, the atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly heated.
"Your Majesty Buddy, are you ready?"
Luo Ge drew the Elegant Dragon Sword from his waist, its tip pointing directly at his opponent. The silver-white blade gleamed with a cold, sharp light under the lamplight.
"Come on! Make your move! Young human... unleash your full power and show me your true strength."
Badigadi spread out all six arms at the same time, assuming a stance that was both offensive and defensive, with a confident smile on his face.
"Yeah?"
Luo Ge had originally planned to use the Sword of Light to deliver a fatal blow, but after hearing Badigadi's request, he thought it was brilliant.
He was surprised that the other party would actually make a request. So he changed his mind...
However, thinking about the technique he was about to use in his experiment, he hesitated and looked at the Demon King opposite him, asking worriedly, "Your Majesty Buddy... are you really sure you want me to use my full strength? The kind where I hold nothing back?"
"Bring it on!"
"Don't underestimate me, I am the Demon King... I will not be easily defeated! Use your strongest moves!"
Badigadi was very confident, and patted his chest with all six arms at the same time, making a loud thud.
"In that case, so be it!"
Having made up his mind, Luo Ge's expression became completely focused. He maintained the posture of holding the knife in one hand as he looked at Badigadi.
Then, Luo Ge made his move.
He didn't just randomly slash at the enemy; instead, he stood still, not using Water God Style techniques to act like a turtle.
Instead, he channeled his magic power into the blade.
In an instant, the Elegant Dragon Sword also underwent a subtle change, its entire body beginning to burn with crimson flames.
As Luo Ge frantically channeled his magic power, and after repeated compression and tempering, the sword began to emit a soft, buzzing sound.
Having lived in this other world for so many years, besides honing his swordsmanship, Luo Ge has naturally spent most of his time improving his magic power.
Although his magical power had stopped growing when he was ten years old, his total magical power, after training, had reached an incredibly terrifying level.
He is currently coating the sword with fire elemental magic by continuously compressing his magic.
Time passed little by little...
The surrounding demons could only see him from afar, holding a sword in one hand and standing still.
At this moment, one can also feel this terrifying heat... spreading outwards from Luo Ge's center.
The onlookers involuntarily took a few steps back; some were sweating profusely, while others instinctively raised their hands to cover their faces.
Gradually... the air was baked so hard it became distorted and warped, and even the distant lights seemed to sway.
... ha?
Even Badigadi's laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a solemn expression.
Even the wise demon king Badigadi had a bead of cold sweat on his forehead.
Deep down... he actually regretted letting Luo Ge use his full strength.
Although Badigadi had never seen such a move before, there was no doubt that the opponent's move was at least at the Emperor Rank in terms of power.
Finally, after a two-and-a-half-minute buildup, he changed from holding the sword with one hand to holding it with both hands as a sign of respect.
Luo Ge finally drew his sword.
... He unleashed his most powerful sword strike in this other world, the one he was most proud of.
Swish!
Something astonishing happened.
Suddenly, everyone saw a crimson sword aura transform into a crimson slash.
The moment the crimson slash struck Badigadi, he was instantly torn to pieces and exploded.
With a deafening roar, flames shot into the sky, and a wave of heat swept around, shoving the onlookers and knocking some to the ground.
What's even more terrifying is that... after shattering the demon king Badigadi, the crimson slash didn't stop; instead, it continued to sweep out at an even more terrifying speed.
Splash!
In an instant, a trench burning with crimson flames was left in the ground, stretching as far as the eye could see and not end.
As for the sword energy... it pierced through an unknown distance, eventually turning the entire sky above the town crimson.
power!
Terrifying!
The entire audience was shocked at that moment; everyone was utterly stunned by Luo Ge's sword strike.
Silence! Deathly silence... The entire hall was completely silent.
Even Kishirika was almost stunned, staring blankly at the scene before her. That sword strike just now reminded her of memories from thousands of years ago.
A scene that seemed familiar.
The saint Millis of yesteryear... also swung his sword towards the Demon Continent from tens of thousands of miles away. The holy sword path left behind in the battle still fills people with awe to this day.
Although the power of this sword strike is far less than that of the one from back then, Kishirika seems to see a shadow of it.
That's incredible.
This human boy is incredibly strong!
Every demon standing there watching was dumbfounded and gasped in astonishment... The power possessed by this human boy completely shattered their preconceived notions.
Speaking of which... after such a powerful sword strike, is this Demon King truly still alive?
Everyone was worried, including Luo Ge, who even regretted swinging that sword.
If you accidentally kill the Demon King, that would be terrible.
After all, if Luo Ge wants to successfully return to the Millis Continent and reunite with his family... he will need the generous assistance of His Majesty Buddy, the Demon King.
If the person dies, he won't know where to go to cry.
Fortunately, it's alright.
Luo Ge is overthinking it.
Even though Badigadi had been shattered into pieces, his broken body continued to writhe and then slowly came back together.
Seeing this scene...
Luo Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to his previous imposing appearance, the reassembled Badigadi seems to have shrunk in size, and his height is about the same as Luo Ge's.
"Hahahaha... I thought I was going to die!"
Badigadi burst into hearty laughter; despite having just been killed once, he wasn't angry at all.
Instead, he looked at Luo Ge with great joy... When his body was finally pieced together completely, he couldn't help but walk up to Luo Ge.
Then he gave Luo Ge a thumbs up.
"To be honest... I thought I was going to die just now!"
Originally, Badigadi thought this move would only have the power of Emperor Rank- level attack at most, but he didn't expect its actual power to far exceed that of Emperor Rank.
It's even comparable to the legendary God Rank beings...
"In short... as expected of a man who wants to challenge the Dragon God, I now completely acknowledge your strength."
"That really scared me to death! Thank goodness you're alright... otherwise I almost thought I'd accidentally killed His Majesty Buddy." Luo Ge also breathed a sigh of relief and sheathed the Elegant Dragon Sword.
"Don't worry, my fiancé is a demon king with the blood of Immortal Demon Race. For one thing, he's incredibly resilient."
"My fiancée is right... I am truly immortal." Badigadi glanced at Kishirika, then stretched his six arms.
"That ultimate technique that just killed me was incredibly powerful. By the way... what's the name of that ultimate technique?"
Luo Ge thought for a moment, then shook his head. "This move is a unique technique I created myself... it doesn't have a name yet."
"Oh, I see. That's truly a pity."
"But how can that be! Such a powerful technique, its strength is comparable to that of God Rank, it definitely needs a majestic and resounding name to match it. How about we call this move 'Crimson Flame Slash'!"
"Well then! Thank you very much, Your Majesty Buddy, for bestowing upon me this name."
Seeing that Luo Ge had fought the Demon King and was still able to chat and laugh afterwards, no one looked down on him because he was human anymore.
On the contrary, they were filled with awe for him.
The law of survival of the fittest, where strength reigns supreme... this principle is played out to its fullest extent in the Demon Continent.
Without a doubt!
Luo Ge's strength is undoubtedly the best selling point.
As for the story of Luo Ge challenging the Demon King and defeating him with a single sword strike, it spread far and wide... In the bard's tale, it later propelled his reputation as the Demon Sword King to its peak, resounding throughout the entire Demon Continent.
