"Yes!"

In an instant, dozens of swords flew into the air, their blades vibrating as they transformed into dazzling streams of light crisscrossing the sky. A robust eruption of primordial energy surged outward, rapidly weaving into a massive web of Sword Qi that descended violently.

Gagura held his blade with one hand and chuckled while shaking his head. "All show, no substance."

"Hum!!"

The blade shivered lightly as crimson energy suddenly surged forth. With Gagura's thunderous shout, two crescent-shaped crimson Light Blades, each spanning a hundred meters, soared into the sky. Spiraling and intertwining, they hurtled toward the Sword Qi web.

Snake Heart Sword·New Moon Slash Wave!

"Zsssss..."

The rotating Light Blades collided with the Sword Qi web, unleashing a cascade of brilliant energy fragments. An ominous aura engulfed the city, whipping up a towering hurricane.

The leading man's face turned grave. He immediately flew forward, sword in hand, unleashing an ear-splitting hawk cry from the blue long blade. The limitless primordial energy transformed into an endless rain of swords, shooting down toward Gagura like a storm.

"Clang!"

Gagura sheathed his blade, and a flood of Dark Energy surged into the hilt. The crimson energy grew severalfold, tinged with faint streaks of black, evolving into a dark crimson form.

"Bring it on!"

Snake Heart Sword·Draw Sword Slash!

"Clang!!"

In an instant, a streak of dark crimson Sword Energy materialized, extending hundreds of meters. The ultimate Light Blade tore through the torrent of Sword Rain, engulfing the sword-wielding man within.

"Ah..."

A shriek echoed as the swordsman's figure dissipated into the heavens.

Witnessing this, the faces of the disciples turned pale.

"Disaster! The senior brother has fallen to the Drue Demon's hand. Hurry back and report to the Sect Leader..."

"Run quickly!"

"The Drue Demon is terrifying. He hasn't even transformed into a Devil Beast, yet he wields such power. We must report this immediately..."

The group fled the city on their swords, scattering in all directions.

Gagura slowly sheathed his blade, paying no attention to the fleeing Spirit Sword Sect disciples.

Crimson light flickered as Gagura returned to human form. Flicking his black hair aside, he gazed up at the sky.

"Hmm, this commotion should be big enough. Mission accomplished..."

...

Meanwhile, across the vast lands, Mao Fei hurriedly led a group of disciples toward the Spirit Sword Sect.

In the air, they rode their swords like meteors streaking across the heavens.

"Brother Mao, news from Spirit Sword Sect has arrived again. During the encirclement of the Drue Demon, their senior brother fell, and the Drue Demon has once again vanished." A junior disciple reported.

Mao Fei furrowed his brows. "The senior brother of Spirit Sword Sect, a High-level Spiritual Artifact Master, was defeated so easily? The Drue Demon's strength must be at the pinnacle level of a Spiritual Artifact Master. This won't be easy to handle!"

"Brother Mao, you're also a pinnacle-level Spiritual Artifact Master. Let those old geezers from Spirit Sword Sect wear down the Drue Demon first, and you can strike last. How could you fail to kill the Drue Demon then?"

"Exactly, Brother Mao is the personal disciple of Elder Jian Tan. No need to fear those decrepit elders of Spirit Sword Sect disobeying."

As the juniors flattered him, Mao Fei seemed to think of something and asked, "What about Qin Shou from Divine Weapon Sect? Any word on him?"

The disciple responded, "Brother Mao, when we departed, that guy was still packing up at Jade Sword Peak."

Hearing this, Mao Fei was reassured.

He remembered that Lin Ke's junior sister had mentioned Qin Shou fighting Lin Ke. Though the outcome was unclear, his strength likely couldn't be underestimated.

If Qin Shou truly intended to compete with him, he might not emerge victorious over Qin Shou.

But judging from current circumstances, the boy is still too inexperienced.

How would he have predicted that I, Mao Fei, would set out for Spirit Sword Sect ahead of time?

By seizing the initiative, the Drue Demon was bound to die by his hands first.

From childhood to now, Lin Ke had always been the ultimate rival he sought to surpass. He had to win at all costs.

This time, perhaps he'd gain another worthy opponent.

...

Jade Sword Peak.

Lin Ke cradled the Child Sword Beast, gently stroking its chubby belly while casting occasional glances at Qin Shou fishing calmly by the lakeside not far away.

"I've heard Mao Fei has already set out ahead; aren't you worried?" She couldn't help but ask curiously.

Qin Shou's expression remained unchanged as he replied, "A foolish bird flies first. Do I look like that sort of foolish bird to you?"

Lin Ke focused intently on Qin Shou, then mused, "Your goal probably isn't the Drue Demon, is it?"

Qin Shou raised an eyebrow internally. "Are young people this perceptive these days?"

"I knew I was right." Lin Ke smiled faintly.

Qin Shou shook his head. "You're overthinking it. Killing the Drue Demon isn't the priority; it's refilling the gaps in the Divine Weapon Refining Technique. Whether Mao Fei is reliable or not is uncertain, but I trust myself.

If Mao Fei manages to bring back the Drue Demon, so be it. If he fails, it means the Drue Demon's strength is extraordinary, and I'll be better prepared for my intervention.

That's why I'm not hurrying to Spirit Sword Sect. As long as the Drue Demon is brought back, the end result is acceptable."

Lin Ke pondered deeply, sensing something amiss though unable to articulate it.

After a brief glance at Lin Ke, Qin Shou stood up and said, "Alright, it's about time I set out too."

Can't stay with her for too long—her intuition is terrifyingly sharp.

...

Spirit Sword Sect.

Five hundred miles away at Jiao Demon Mountain.

"Hiss..."

A three-hundred-meter-long black-scaled dragon bellowed before falling to the ground. Gagura jumped down, wiping black blood off his blade while gazing toward the sky where several streaks of sword light approached. His emerald eyes gleamed faintly.

"Finally, they've arrived. I wonder when the master will make an appearance."

With a wave of his hand, Gagura stored the colossal black-scaled dragon into his Space Wristwatch, awaiting the sword lights calmly.

"Hum..."

The sound of swords humming echoed through the mountains as several figures descended into a clearing, surrounding Gagura completely.

Upon seeing Gagura's torso covered in brown exoskeletal armor, Mao Fei's eyes betrayed a look of surprise.

"So you're the infamous Drue Star Person?"

Gagura scanned the figures one by one, nodding in satisfaction.

Six Unbreakable Realm Ninth Stars, the rest at no lower than Level 8 Unbreakable Realm. Excellent.

"Hah, this might finally get interesting." Gagura pointed his blade mockingly at Mao Fei.

On the sidelines, Spirit Sword Sect's five pinnacle-level Spiritual Artifact Masters stepped forward, each summoning their Spirit Sword. Razor-sharp Sword Qi flooded the ground.

"Hmph, Drue Demon, for slaughtering Spirit Sword Sect disciples, your death is certain today!"

Gagura shrugged, saying with a sarcastic smile, "You old fools think sending trash minor disciples could take me down. If they die, who's to blame?"

The five grew furious and turned toward Mao Fei.

Mao Fei nodded, his calm demeanor unwavering. "Let's get started. Take down the Drue Demon and avenge the Spirit Sword Sect disciples, allowing me to report back sooner."

"Kill!!"

Without hesitation, the five ascended, unleashing turbulent primordial energy through their celestial swords. Roars of feral beasts echoed, and thousands of Sword Qi violently crashed down.

Grinning ferociously, Gagura raised a dark crimson circular contraption.

"Buzz..."

Crimson energy radiated outward, bending spatial zones around Gagura and drawing his brown figure into the Void.

The deluge of Sword Qi rained down, shaking the earth and kicking up clouds of dust.

"Is he dead?"

Mao Fei peered cautiously at the crimson glow amidst the dust clouds, his expression growing grim.

"Boom..."

A sudden whirlwind dispersed the gray haze.

On the earth pierced with countless sword-shaped holes, Gagura stood unharmed, the crimson circular device raised before his chest.

"I'll finish you all in one stroke!"

With that declaration, Gagura pinched a card featuring a Monster emblem between his fingers and inserted it into the circular contraption.

Super Ancient Beast, Gorzan!

"Buzz..."

Instantly, the device read its data, causing the card to transform into countless Light Particles that merged on the ground to form a colossal upright Monster clad in armor, over a hundred meters tall.

"Roar!!"

Gorzan bellowed to the heavens, sending an overwhelming aura sweeping across the assembly.

Mao Fei's eyes widened in shock. "This... this is the Drue Demon's ability to transform into a Devil Beast?"

Before he could react, Gagura again pulled out a card and slid it into the device.

Super Ancient Beast, Mebura!

"Screech!!"

Once more, multitudes of Light Particles erupted, coalescing into a terrifying Monster adorned with red-and-silver wings, silvery armor covering its body, and blade-like extensions jutting from its avian forehead.

"What!? Another one? That's impossible..."

The crowd was stunned.

"Hiss!!"

At that moment, another creature materialized behind Gagura: an eccentric giant beast shimmering with metallic silver gloss, hooked claws, and an exaggeratedly large horn protruding from its head.

Cosmic Battle Beast, Super GeBu!

Three gigantic Beasts now loomed behind Gagura, intimidating everyone.

Raising the circular device high, Gagura roared to the heavens.

"Light of Fusion, lend me your strength!"

"Roar!"

"Hiss..."

In an instant, the three Beasts roared in unison, transforming into translucent figures and merging at rapid speed.

Simultaneously, the terrifying aura multiplied several times over, manifesting a monstrous new entity that thundered onto the ground.

Fusion Monster, Three Emperors!
