To Death

Ryu's senses sharpened as he soared through the air. He sensed a Dao Lord lock onto his presence and a slashing sword cut through the air. 

Ryu calculated everything, ending it from start to finish. 

The Dao Lord didn't use even a fraction of their power. Their only goal was to stop the flames from hitting the armor.

Even so, Ryu felt an unprecedented level of danger. 

The sword qi sword through the air. It was flat and didn't carry hardly any sharpness. It felt more like the Dao Lord was wielding a club rather than a spear. It seemed to be some sort of unique defensive sword method. 

In truth, Ryu felt that it was full of flaws and impossibly inferior. This Dao Lord actually didn't even have a Hegemonic Dao. 

It had to be remembered that the minimum requirement to enter the Lord Realm was a Hegemonic Dao. It was incredibly rare for a lower Dao to birth a higher Realm, though it did happen.
