Chapter 215 - Sword Douluo

At the last moment, Bai was pushed away by none other than Chen Xin. On the last instant, with Gu Rong's help who was hidden, overlooking the battlefield. Chen Xin had appeared and pushed Bai away from the path, putting in his position, the black claws slicing his arm, Chen Xin falling to the ground.

Seeing what happened, Bai became furious "AAAAAH!" He turned around, swinging his swords towards the black figure, his spirit rings shined focusing on the black figure.

"Clank!" Like if metal collided with metal, Bai's attack was blocked, Bai's sword rebounded. Bai didn't stop at that, he continuously sliced the figure, but the figure precisely moved his claw, blocking every cut.

(He is strong!) Bai's mind instantly cooled down, recognizing the human before him as a threat. Taking Chen Xin with him, Bai jumped back, creating a distance. Looking at the black figure, Bai finally could see his attacker. A 1,85 meters tall man, black hair and eyes, all his skin clad in black scales with two black thorn growing over his head, making him seem like a humanoid dragon.

"Xiaogang" Bai recognized him, even with the great changes of him. He was the grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang. He seemed even younger than last time, resemble at his 30 some years. His feeble image long lost, power exuding from him.

Like last time, Bai was unable to see through his cultivation. However, he discovered that his skills didn't have any effect on him, meaning that he was a rank 99 titled douluo and/or his comprehension had created a Truth.

Xiaogang smiled "Long time not seeing you, Bai." He was completely calm as if he wasn't in the middle of a war. He looked around, his gaze turning where Tang San was fighting "You sure have grown" He coughed and turned again at Bai "In my case, you can call me Dark Dragon Douluo" Under Xiaogang 9 spirit rings revolved, 8 blacks and 1 red.

Bai clenched his swords. Just as he was about to charge "Are you really sure?" Xiaogang said "He is in a bad state if not treated" He said signaling Chen Xin. This was clearly a threatening, even if Bai could fight against him, he wouldn't be able to protect Chen Xin at the same time. This created a stand by where any side made any move.

Xiaogang lifted his head, seeing the approaching allied army that was about to catch Bai's position. He turned to Bai "Do not worry too much. Even now, I am thankful for your help" A black ring shined and his body turned all black. Then, the black body dispersed in the air without any trail, like if he had never been there.

"<All Sword: Retailatiton>" Bai right sword dispersed, the air around him turning white. This All Sword had two reasons, detecting if Yu Xiaogang was really gone and help him heal Chen Xin.

"Uncle!" Bai leaned over Chen Xin whose face was sickly pale, focusing his Life Intent on him. After some time, Bai was able to stop the bleeding, but he seemed very weak, too much for such a clean cut.

"Uoooo!" The allied army reaching them, avoiding them as if a big rock in a river. They continued charging, fighting the Spirit Empire's army.

Bai was focused on healing Chen Xin, even if the wound had healed, there was some darkness lingering in his arm. It wasn't life-threatening but was weakening him. Bai focused his Life on his sword and cut the darkness that dispersed away.

Next to Bai, a black hole appeared, Bone Douluo leaving from it. Seeing his old friend and partner all these years, he grimaced. "How is he?"

"He is very weakened." Bai answered continuously transmitting Life energy to him.

"Stop, Bai" Chen Xin opened his eyes and lifted his upper body "We are in a war. You shouldn't waste your energy on me."

"How could it be healing you a waste!?" Bai shouted angrily.

"I am wounded, but not in danger. I will retire for now" He said looking at Bone Douluo.

"But your cult-" "I know." Interjected Chen Xin. 9 rings revolved around him, the 9th one seemed to be shivering. It shined one last time before it dispersed. Due to the great injury, his cultivation had been lowered, returning to a spirit douluo. He was no longer Sword Douluo.

"I'm glad that it was me instead of you, Bai" Chen Xin smiled "Don't pity me, I am already too old, without any option to breakthrough, instead, you had great potential and all your life in front.

"Bone, could you bring me away?" Chen Xin requested, Bone nodded creating a new black hole.

"Uncle" Bai said with some tears "You fought all of your life, experimenting a lot of drawbacks. You shouldn't sacrifice for me. Don't be like mum.I don't want all my family to sacrifice, I want to protect you. Don't do it again, please uncle"

"Grandpa" Chen Xin said "Could you call me again grandpa like when you were younger? Uncle seems too cold and I am already very old"

Bai nodded with tears "Yes, grandpa"

Chen Xin stood up with the help of Gu Rong "One last thing. Even if you reached the titled douluo realm, you don't have any title. Take mine"

Bai opened his eyes shocked "How can I? I would make sure of healing you later. You would recover!"

"It doesn't matter" Chen Xin "I can't think of a better Sword Douluo than you. It's my honor to give you this title. Take it and make it sound everywhere, make me proud, grandson"

"Yes, grandpa" Bai clenched his sword and nodded. Chen Xin smiled leaving the battlefield with Gu Rong.

Seeing him alone again, surrounded by both armies fighting, Bai clenched his swords tightly and breathed profoundly. "I will make it resound"

Bai's spirit energy exploded all around the battlefield, everyone feeling suppressed by him and unconsciously turning towards the source, most even stopped fighting.

Bai was floating, at his back, white and black wings unfolded, seventeen 100.000 years old rings revolving around him, a pillar of different colored energy over him.

Bai looked down at the people fighting "I am Ning Bai" his voice resounded across the battlefield "Rank 98, title SWORD. I AM SWORD DOULUO, NING BAI!" he shouted "I will finish this battle!"

Red rings flashed, countless different colored swords appeared filling the sky "Die" Bai said coldly. A rain of swords descended over the battlefield, precisely avoiding the allied army and raining over Spirit Empire's side, killing countless soldiers, even spirit masters were unable to defend from them.

Bai's ring shined brightly as he charged towards the fortress, blades dancing around him. The swords orbited around Bai, increasing the speed. After a red flash, Bai became a black giant sword covered with a vicious black aura. It was a fusion of Bai's All Sword, Sword Heart, and Sword Avatar.

The giant sword passed through the Spirit Empire's army, only leaving corpses in his way, clashing with the Fortress's front gate "BOOOOM!" The sword pierced through the gate, exploding it into smithers, opening the path. The dust dispersed, revealing Bai. In front of him, inside the fortress, countless of armed soldiers were prepared to fight.

"ATTACK!" Someone commanded "UOOOOOOOO!" the allied forces morale skyrocket as they trambled over Spirit Empire's army, charging towards Jialing Pass Fortress.
