Thunder God Sword

"Hiiiaaattt!"

The two individuals dressed in all red with dragon masks screamed loudly. They launched an attack on Julius using their combined technique. The Demon Soul-Eating Sword immediately flew towards Julius. The large sword attack was met by nine swords surrounding Julius. The weapons of both sides clashed in the middle between Julius and his two opponents.

For a moment, the two weapons were held in place. The two legendary techniques clashed and pressed against each other. Everyone within the seal covering Julius, his friend, and the two enemies trembled due to the immense energy emanating from both weapons. Tension gripped Julius's friends whose lives relied solely on the young man.

Outside the concealing seal, no one was aware that Julius and his friends were fighting for their lives. The seal set up by the two individuals dressed in red was indeed powerful enough to suppress anything that happened inside it, unnoticed by outsiders except for those deliberately seeking it with specific techniques. Like the person floating in the air, using a concealing seal technique to remain undetected.

The situation inside the concealing seal grew more intense. Both sides pressed against each other. Whoever lost this attack would surely perish. The power of their legendary techniques was indeed deadly when used for attacking.

Slowly, Julius began to be pushed back. He, who was now in the realm of the third-level heavenly spirit, apparently did not have enough energy to press his opponent. Compared to the enemy who was in the realm of the second-level semi-fairy spirit, they were certainly superior in energy. Some parts of Julius's clothing had begun to tear due to the onslaught of attacks from the opponent.

"If this continues, I will surely perish. If only I could cultivate two more levels, I might be able to win this fight," murmured Julius.

Julius deeply regretted not being able to cultivate two more levels higher. Even though by swallowing the pills given by Master Kaelen Frostfire, it would have been very possible to ascend at least two levels higher. Julius was confident that by being in the realm of the fifth-level heavenly spirit martial arts, he would be able to win the fight.

"Instead of being constantly pressed like this and ending up perishing, it's better for me to try cultivating."

While continuing to defend himself, this time Julius decided to cultivate. Previously, he had written a seal to channel the energy from his substitute body that would cultivate. Of course, by doing so, the attacking power of the God's Nine Sword Technique decreased, making the situation even more unfavorable for Julius.

"It seems like Julius is trying to cultivate. Let's help by channeling our energy!"

Galen Blackthorn, who knew Julius's situation, invited his friends to help the young man. Then the four of them moved behind Julius and assisted him by channeling their energy. Feeling the assistance, Julius exerted even more effort to break through his cultivation realm.

"Haaaa!"

 Julius shouted. Suddenly, a small explosion occurred, and energy began to radiate from his body. He managed to break through to the fourth level in the realm of heavenly spirit.

"Huekk!"

Although he succeeded in breaking through to the next level, it seemed that Julius was injured. This was because he forced his cultivation realm to increase in a short time while still channeling energy to defend himself from enemy attacks. Fortunately, his four friends provided assistance, so the impact was not as severe.

Despite suffering internal injuries, Julius seemed not to stop his cultivation. He continued to cultivate to advance to the next realm. What he was doing worried his four friends. So much so that Galen Blackthorn shouted a reminder.

"Julius, do you want to die by continuing to cultivate! Remember, your body is still too weak, Julius!"

 Julius ignored his friend's shout. He continued to cultivate to advance his martial cultivation realm. Meanwhile, the enemy's attacks kept pressing on Julius's Thunder God's Nine Sword Technique.

"Haaaaaaaa!"

 Julius shouted loudly once again. He managed to break through to the fifth level of the heavenly spirit realm. However, this time, the young man spat out fresh blood, even more than before. Worse, he lost consciousness.

On the other side, due to Julius losing consciousness, the combat power and defense of his Thunder God's Nine Sword Technique weakened. The enemy's attacks continued to advance. Gradually, the attacks approached Julius and the others. Julius's sword defense was being pushed back.

"Julius!!!"

"Julius! Wake up!"

One by one, Julius's friends shouted, trying to awaken him. Just as the enemy's sword attacks pressed to within two spear lengths, Julius regained consciousness. He immediately exerted his energy and released the intermediary seal he had previously made.

"Thunder God's Sword Technique, Universe Breaker!"

 Julius shouted, uttering the name of his family's peak-level sword technique. Instantly, the nine swords merged and turned red. The lightning flashes emitted also turned red.

Crackkk!

The combined sword attack of the two individuals dressed in red suddenly shattered into dust. Meanwhile, Julius's sword attack continued towards them. They tried to dodge, but their bodies couldn't move due to exhaustion from the attacks they launched.

Blaammmm!

A huge explosion occurred. The two opponents were hit hard by Julius's sword technique. Their bodies disintegrated into dust. The lightning strikes caused by Julius's technique had devastating destructive power. Both opponents were killed, leaving no trace of their bodies.

"Julius!"

Galen Blackthorn shouted loudly, half-screaming, seeing Julius collapse to the ground. His friend immediately lost consciousness after defeating the opponents. Galen Blackthorn hurriedly rushed to Julius.

"Julius!"

Galen Blackthorn shook Julius's body to try to wake him up. However, there was no reaction from the young man. It seemed that Julius suffered severe injuries from the power he used himself. The power was truly formidable, causing his body to be unable to withstand it.

"Scoundrel! That kid managed to defeat two hunter executioners. It seems I have to step in and finish him off," grumbled the mysterious person who had been observing Julius's fight with the two masked men.
