The Story Never Ends

The small world turned dark and murky as the surrounding dark elementary particles became extremely active once Davion mobilized his dark energy.

"Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!"

Davion moved like a shadow in the air with mysterious movements while he repeated the basic sword moves like thrust, slash, swings, and others as fast as he could.

Along with it, his sword intent became more refined and stronger. If previously one felt like a heavy and sharp sword pressing on top of their heads, then right now, one could feel that the sword was hidden somewhere behind dark clouds that were surrounding them from everywhere.

It brought ominous and eerie feelings while disrupting one's senses and even suppressing their Divine Sense to some extent. This added a layer of unpredictability and unease as the sword felt like it could come crashing down from anywhere anytime.

"Bam!Bam!Bam!"

Powerful shockwaves waves were released from his sword that corroded and eventually destroyed the rocks and vegetation nearby him. This was indeed the effect of dark energy.

He then abruptly paused and raised his sword in the air, creating hundreds of dark sword energies in the blink of an eye.

"Go!" With a wave of his sword, they all headed towards Siena, bewildering her greatly.

"Challenging me to hone your sword? Let me teach you a lesson." She scoffed, and she too took out her sword, releasing her sword intent.

Red and hot aura burst from her and many fiery sword energies clashed head-on with his sword energies.

"BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!"

Mini explosions after explosions took place in the air and the sky was dyed half black and red, catching the attention of Danny who was inside the castle. Seeing them fighting, he had a smile on his face.

It seemed like their relationship wasn't as close as he had suspected.

"Clang"

Without letting the explosion subside, Siena dashed straight towards Davion with her white wings flapping behind her. In response, Davion simply parried her attack to the left with a flick of his sword and kicked straight towards her stomach, forcing her to use her other hand to block it.

Nonetheless, she was still hurled down to the ground because of his excessive force. Next, without letting her catch her breath, he used one of the new arts he learned.

"Devouring the Sun"

A vortex of endless darkness appeared behind his back and it swallowed everything that produced light in this place. This included the glow excluding out from Siena's white flames.

Except for perceiving a few meters around her, she couldn't see beyond that. Even her Divine Sense felt that it was getting sucked into some type of vortex. Added on top of his sword intent, this spell became much more formidable.

"What a powerful skill!" Her face became grim. While she was worrying, a streak of light flashed right behind her and she was barely able to react.

"Bang"

She managed to block it, but her expression became solemn as a deep diagonal cut was seen on the ground. It showed how sharp and threatening his earlier strike was.

Although both of them were sparring by only releasing a tiny portion of their energies, it was still dangerous.

Following this, more of his strikes came from random directions and she kept on either dodging or deflecting, trying her best to protect herself. However, it was not so easy as Davion unexpectedly arrived near her sneakily.

"Above." Davion gave her a hint as he smashed down vertically with his sword.

Siena slashed there at once without thinking but her strike only cut through the air as his body rippled like water.

"No." She hurriedly tried to jump to the sky as she felt a bad premonition. But it was still too late.

Davion grabbed her leg in mid-air and dragged her down. Then not allowing her to fall, he immediately grabbed her by her waist with his left arm and put his sword a few centimeters near her neck with his other. The whole process was slick and smooth.

"You lost." He withdrew the spell as he spoke calmly.

Feeling his warm breath, Siena was a little flustered and didn't know what to say. She couldn't believe he would improve this much in a jiffy. Plus, his sword techniques had improved a lot.

Mostly, the biggest surprise was that he learned these all in just a couple of minutes. His talent is too scary. Not only did he possess a holy physique blessed for cultivation, he even had a monstrous comprehending capability.

So, she wanted to ask him if you were even a human. Or were you a Saint who had reincarnated? But deep down she knew that its possibility was absolutely zero as he had almost no knowledge about laws, runes, law bodies, and everything related to cultivation above the Domain Realm.

He was merely a cultivator belonging to a low-level sect that had yet to see the outside world.

Seeing how she wasn't responding, Davion chuckled, "Little girl, why are you so shocked? You knew that I was stronger than you from the beginning. The only advantage you had over me was in swordsmanship."

"Humph! It's because you didn't fight straight with me. How can you remain hidden the whole time?" She harrumphed coldly, not accepting her defeat.

"Then why don't you give me your Phoenix Sword Art? Maybe we can duel once again and know who's better?" He mocked her.

His sword techniques were devious and crafty that depended on taking away the enemies' vision and using footwork skills to defeat them in a short period of time. As for the reason, he could understand why it was so.

Since dark energy severely lacked damage compared to other elements like flames and thunder, it was impossible to blow off their opponents in a single strike. That's why to utilize the utmost potential of dark energy such techniques could only be created.

And he was happy with that since he didn't lack damage. With his overbearing Heavenly Body and multicolored spiritual energy, he could burst anyone below the Venerable Stage to death in a single strike if he could manage to land a hit.

Even Venerable Stage might not remain unscathed if they took his fist head-on. He was confident of his strength. Therefore, learning these techniques was for the best.

"You are quite greedy. But without possessing our bloodline and flames, it's useless." She shook her head.

"I'm a genius. Maybe I can cultivate it." He didn't want to easily give up the technique that had been passed down in one of the four major clans.

Despite it appearing weak as she lost against him easily, he was sure that it was not the case. Mainly when she hadn't unleashed her true strength and he was a monster that couldn't be explained by common sense.

"No. You will be hunted and tracked down by my clan if I do that." She refused without any hesitation.

"But.." Davion was about to say something but Siena interrupted him at once.

"There is a story circulating in my clan that reported a phoenix who leaked the secrets of our clan died brutally the next day with her whole family members. The strange thing was that nobody noticed it when her parents were strong powerhouses in the Venerable Stage." She told him everything she knew.

"My God! Was a Saint behind this?" He was terrified.

"Indeed. Everyone thought so. Nevertheless, nobody had the guts to investigate it and this incident gradually became a scary story." She said seriously.

"I see." Davion nodded.

"Now, why don't you put away your sword and let me go?" She reminded him. Currently, they were in an ambiguous position on the ground.

Danny, who was watching the whole fight, was also puzzled and starting to have bad thoughts.

"Why hurry? I won't let you go until you give me an answer. A princess like you should have a way, shouldn't you?" He kept pestering her.

"No! Although my mother is a Saint and the current Empress of the Phoenix Island, she can't do much if I break the rules of the clan. You should know that all the major clans have powerful ancestors cultivating in seclusion and are the true rulers of the clan." She looked resolute.

Davion frowned when he got this information. It seemed like he had underestimated the four major clans and their backgrounds. They were too horrifying.

So, in disappointment, he blew flames from his mouth, causing her to become dumbfounded as her veil was burned into ashes. Gazing at her beautiful face, he suggested, "Why don't you marry me? I'm sure it won't be a problem for you to give away the Phoenix Art then."

"Shameless Rogue!" She yelled in fury as her fairy armor kicked in at once, resulting in her aura going berserk thereafter. How could he have such thoughts? Especially, how dare he tear off her veil?

"I was joking!" He immediately backed away and apologized.

"Shut your mouth! I will definitely teach you a lesson." Her white flames burned vigorously as her sword revealed a tremendous aura.

"Let me show you the true strength of my Phoenix Art."

Cries of phoenix were heard as a huge phantom of a phoenix manifested behind her back. Afterward, she charged at him, beginning another round of battle.

"Don't think that I'm scared of you." Seeing how unreasonable she was, Davion too charged at her using the other arts and techniques he had learned and were yet to be revealed.

"BOOM"
