921 Alex vs Sword God

"…" Alex was dumbfounded when he heard what the man suddenly said.

This man that obviously not from the people outside, attacked him without any reason. If it were just a robot or a doll to test him, it obviously wouldn't talk like this.

"Kh." Alex gritted his teeth, glaring at the man. "You… Are you the so-called Peerless Sword God?"

"Don't talk too much, reincarnation of Spirit God." He clenched his sword even tighter and said. "I am not patient enough to handle your boring talk."

[If that soul is really that person, it's better for you to fight him immediately.]

'Do you know him?' Alex asked, never expecting that the system suddenly informed him.

[He was a peculiar man. On one hand, he could be said as your most hated rival, but at the same time, somehow, you both were "friends" that could share each other's joys and sorrows with. That's why he remained neutral most of the time and only fought against you if needed… Like this time. So, I believe you should fight him seriously because it would be the best option to handle him.]

Alex couldn't understand her, but he knew he needed to fight from the Sword God's face alone. If he delayed it by asking another question, he would surely attack him without stopping.

Because of that, he formed a spear in his other hand and took a deep breath. "Since that is the case, it's better to step up my game."

"Looking at you, you are only his reincarnation, not himself. In that case, let's see whether your strength is real or not!" He shouted and leaped toward Alex.

Alex saw this and matched his movement. They both swung their sword, creating a powerful shock wave from clashing alone. However, Alex had a clear advantage here as he immediately raised his spear, thrusting it toward the Sword God's neck.

"Double Blade." The Sword God decided to step up his game as well and used the first Martial Art to inform Alex that they needed to fight seriously.

*Bang*

Alex narrowed his Spirit Eyes to see what kind of Martial Art he used, but to his surprise, the energy moved too fast as his Spirit Eyes could only barely capture what just happened.

The Sword moved faster than he expected as it oscillates back and forth to create smaller Sword Waves to the left and right simultaneously. Those Sword Waves gathered together in the end and exploded, blowing both spear and sword away.

After that, the Sword God waved his sword, trying to cut him down.

It was at this time Alex realized that his speed was no match against the Sword God's, so he devised another plan and used the momentum that blew his weapons to spin them around and attacked back the Sword God with his Triple Draw while shifting his body a little.

When he saw the six swords, the Sword God used the same technique as earlier, but he copied it three times.

"Double Blade."

Alex felt his blades getting push back, but because there were six attacks, the power was insignificantly weaker.

Still, the Sword God's initial plan had succeeded as he shifted his body back to create enough distance to avoid those six blades before slashing Alex from the right side.

Alex hit the sword from above before Divine Energy suddenly sparked from his spear.

"One Inch Spear."

The spear suddenly had an additional length and kept growing to pierce the Sword God's hand.

Seeing this, the Sword God bent down to avoid the spear as his sword slid on the spear's body to cut Alex from below.

Alex immediately put his sword on the way before locking the Sword God's weapon with his two weapons.

They tried to push each other's weapons to gain an advantage but realized that their strength was equal. Due to that, the Sword God decided to step back this time to reset the match.

They then stopped for a few seconds as they regained their breath and simulated all kinds of movements they would make next.

Alex was the first to jump forward as he waved his Sword, releasing a Sword Wave to attack him.

"Mythical Fire Slash."

The Sword God narrowed his eyes and raised his sword before waving it down.

"Hell Lion."

A purplish-black tiger suddenly came out of his sword, marching toward Alex's Mythical Fire Slash. Before it arrived, the tiger suddenly stood on its feet and used its two paws to rip Alex's attacks apart.

"Seriously?!" Alex widened his eyes before summoning two dragons that flew and bit the lion from the side. "Swallowing Heaven."

With the dragons containing Alex's elements, the tiger soon started becoming translucent.

It was at this time, Alex could see what behind it, finding the Sword God had sheathed its sword. However, this was the most terrifying moment for Alex as his instinct was screaming at him.

He leaped to the air as he barely escaped alive and saw his dragons and his tiger were slashed into two.

"Purgatory Sword."

Alex released the amount of the attack it produced and decided to send one back.

"One Sword Kill, Blade of Extinction!"

The Sword Wave this time had the power surpassing the Mythical Fire Slash itself, even with the Triple Draws.

"What a nostalgic move…" The Sword God, for the first time, opened his mouth before spinning his sword and struck the Sword Wave.

"Absolute Blade."

"!!!" Alex found that the Blade of Extinction was cut into two in an instant as if it wasn't even a challenge. "That Blade of Extinction is one of my strongest attacks… Is that his Original Divine Sword?"

[Alex… I think you have a misconception about the God King.]

"Misconception?" Alex tilted his head.

[Although there are not many records about the God King, there is an unwritten requirement to be a God King.]

"An unwritten requirement?!" Alex gasped. From the sound alone, it seemed to be an epic requirement.

[Yes. It's to master what we know. Like my father, for example. He mastered the Time element to the point no one could rival him. Or even your previous mentor, Phitrus, who evolved his Fire to the absolute degree.]

[And just like them and all the other God Kings, the Peerless Sword God had mastered the way of the sword to the absolute degree. The moment he achieved that, he created the second Divine Sword Art that symbolized his true strength.]

*Thump!* His heart skipped a beat when he listened to the last part. "The second Divine Sword Art? And it was only created when he achieved God King Stage?"

[Yes. It's rumored that it's the purest sword form that was able to cut everything, even Phitrus's Godly Pure Fire or even my father's time!]

"What?!" Alex couldn't help but yell. If the technique could cut fire, he could imagine what kind of attack it was. However, there wasn't a single image appearing when he tried to make an image of him cutting time.

[And that sword technique is called Absolute Blade.]

After hearing this, Alex somehow wondered what kind of thing he would master to the absolute degree in the future, but he decided to focus on his fight first.

"Thank you. That's good information." Alex smiled and landed on the ground. This time, he realized that no matter how hard he tried to create an advantageous situation, his opponent was able to counter everything while turning the overall tide.

This might be the first time he saw an opponent at this level. He remembered the time element guy. If he didn't make him realize his shortcomings, he might not be able to fight the Sword God this good.

"Your skills have no taste…" The Sword God opened his mouth with a serious expression. "So, when do you plan to show me your original Sword and Spear techniques? Or are you not confident in your strength?"

"…" Alex fell silent.

"What?! Do you think I don't know about whose space element you have in your body?" He snorted. "If you think your Space Element can ruin this place, leave now."

Listening to his words, it seemed the Sword God had confidence in his own place.

"Use everything you have! Nothing can't break me because my sword will cut everything down first!" The Sword God stomped the ground as he finally utilized his Sword Qi and Intent to the highest degree.

It even sent a powerful shock wave just by standing in front of him. Alex realized that the Sword God probably had only utilized half of his power.

The Sword Intent then enveloped his Sword Qi before fusing with his sword. The beautiful sword became even more pretty when the patterns on it shone. The patterns then spread to his hand before to his entire body.

"Memoire Sword."

Seeing this strength, Alex took a deep breath as he summoned his Spirit Crown. This allowed him to automatically boost his strength using the Spirit Step. At the same time, a dragon and a phoenix soared to the sky.

He didn't stop there. A figure of a fire fox appeared behind him as it summoned a giant fireball in the sky, creating a domain that suited Alex's style and suppressed his enemy a little bit.

"It's time for round two." Alex smiled.

Both of their energy clashed with each other, showing their dominance.

"Three bastards' strength in one…" The Sword God muttered in a low voice before shouting. "Whether that's enough or not, I shall test it."

As soon as the clash of energy disappeared, the two disappeared as they swung their swords.

"Absolute Sword." What the Sword God used was his strongest attack.

"Three Purities Slash." Responding to him, Alex also used his Original Divine Sword Art.

The moment their swords clashed, it shook the entire realm despite having no depth, floor, or even wall.

As Lin Xingzhi said earlier, his Absolute Sword cut Alex's Sword Intent, Space Element, and Pure Fire. However, Phitrus's Godly Pure Fire was still something that could be considered absolute. It burned the Sword Energy inside that attack earlier, neutralizing each other.

To his surprise, the Sword God suddenly leaped back.

Alex wouldn't let him stabilize his body and immediately chased him while thrusting his spear.

Meanwhile, the Sword God moved at light speed as he already sheathed his sword once again.

"Purgatory Sword."

Alex widened his eyes when he saw the Sword Wave and decided to strike it instead of the Sword God.

"Twin Fusion Spear."

This might be the first time he used his Original Divine Spear Technique, but he believed this was the perfect time to utilize it.

The tip of his spear only contained Space Energy, but it was concentrated to the point it easily bent the space around it.

Unlike the Absolute Blade, this attack didn't contain that "Absolute" that was capable of cutting through anything. That was why this might be the first time to use this attack.

When it touched the tip of the Sword Wave, the Space Energy immediately bent the Sword Wave, turning it into a weird shape. At the same time, that Space Element also bent the space behind the Sword God as if it was trying to channel the Pure Fire. It was like how Alex managed to send his fire through the gate when training.

The latter noticed that and gritted his teeth, trying to avoid this but was too late. The fire struck him on the back, forcing him to step forward in order to not fall.

"Kh! This flame… I can certainly remember how powerful this flame was…" He gritted his teeth before smiling while looking at Alex.

Alex, on the other hand, was still struggling in order to destroy the Sword Wave. It took him one second before successfully destroying it. If the Sword God weren't hit by his flame, this one second would prove to be fatal.

At the same time, grazes after grazes started to appear all over his body as he realized that the residual energy from the Sword wasn't completely neutralized.

The Sword God grinned as he looked at Alex with his killing intent. "Interesting!"
