Chen Tian's attack was instantly repelled by the Evil General, who then swung his long sword. Chen Tian's twin blades were also flung away, and the tip of the sword lunged towards Chen Tian. Seeing this, Chen Tian spun his twin blades, and they collided. Their weapons clashed, and Chen Tian retracted his blades to slash again. Simultaneously, the Evil General changed his stance, and their long sword and twin blades crossed and collided, both figures retreating simultaneously.
Chen Tian's twin blades then merged, becoming a single long blade. He held it in one hand and charged towards the Evil General. The Evil General thrust his arm-mounted sword forward. The long sword and the long blade clashed. Chen Tian moved in an infinite-loop pattern, and the edges of his long blade continuously slashed at the Evil General. The Evil General's long sword was pushed back bit by bit, rendered useless. The Evil General decisively retreated, and his bow and arrow transformed, firing several black arrows at Chen Tian. Chen Tian swung his long blade, deflecting all the arrows.
Chen Tian's long bow contracted, and he drew it back, gathering light. A nine-colored arrow shot towards the Evil General. The Evil General raised his arm, and black arrows shot towards Chen Tian's nine-colored arrow. The arrows collided and exploded.
Chen Tian drew his long bow again, and countless nine-colored light vortexes appeared within it. The long bow then shot a nine-colored beam of light that charged towards the Evil General. The Evil General looked at the nine-colored beam and raised his Evil Spirit Crossbow. Light coiled around the crossbow, and a faint glow gathered. A black wave of light shot out, colliding with the beam. They were evenly matched.
Chen Tian pulled with both hands, and blades extended from his long bow. Twin swords appeared in his hands, and he stepped forward, instantly appearing before the Evil General. The Evil General saw Chen Tian charging at him and his arm-mounted Evil Spirit Crossbow transformed. The crossbow's size shrunk several times. Wrist blades extended from his arms, opening up, and a single wrist blade appeared on the Evil General's arm. The Evil General stepped forward, and his wrist blade slashed down. Chen Tian swung his twin swords, and they collided.
Chen Tian's twin swords attacked relentlessly, and for a time, Chen Tian held the advantage. The Evil General seemed to be on the defensive. Chen Tian found an opening and sent his left sword towards the Evil General's neck. The Evil General reacted, swinging his wrist blade to the side, deflecting Chen Tian's sword. But Chen Tian had twin swords! The Evil General only had one wrist blade. Chen Tian's other sword moved, instantly heading towards the Evil General's face.
The Evil General reacted swiftly, arching his body backward. The sword grazed his head. Simultaneously, the Evil General's feet kicked Chen Tian in a crescent arc. Chen Tian decisively retreated. As Chen Tian retreated, the Evil General raised his arm. At some point, his weapon had transformed back into a bow and arrow. Three black arrows shot towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian swung his twin swords, deflecting them all. He then joined the hilts of his twin swords, forming a long sword. Chen Tian gripped the hilt tightly in his left hand, and a beam of light shot from the hilt. A red light erupted, enveloping both sides of the long sword.
The Evil General watched the approaching red beam and raised his arm. A black blade shot out, slicing through the beam and heading towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian said, "Not bad, huh? Then try this!"
He then gripped the hilt with one hand. The twin swords on either side glowed with black light, and a nine-colored wave of light shot out. The wavy light continuously moved towards the black blade. The black blade shattered under the continuous impact of the light wave. Seeing the approaching light wave, the Evil General fired a light shield from his Evil Spirit Crossbow, which enveloped him.
The light wave struck the light shield, and the Evil General retreated. Chen Tian stopped the light wave output and separated his swords. He then clashed his twin swords together, joining them side-by-side to form a greatsword.
Chen Tian held the greatsword in one hand and charged at the Evil General. He gripped the hilt tightly and swung it with immense force. The massive blade shot out, carrying the greatsword towards the Evil General.
The Evil General's light shield shattered instantly. He looked at the approaching greatsword and its blade. The Evil Spirit Crossbow on his arm opened, revealing countless black fragments that reassembled, covering his entire arm. The Evil General's arm transformed into a giant fist.
The Evil General then swung his giant fist, colliding with Chen Tian's greatsword. A thunderous roar and waves of energy erupted.
Both Chen Tian and the Evil General were thrown back. Chen Tian looked at the Evil General and asked, "Tell me, who modified your weapon!"
"Do you think I would tell you?"
Chen Tian frowned. The way the opponent's weapon had changed was similar to how mechanical gods transformed weapons in games. Chen Tian suspected the Evil General had been modified by a player. If it was just weapon modification, Chen Tian felt he could handle it, but if it was a person modification, Chen Tian wasn't so sure.
At the same time, Chen Tian desperately wanted to find out who was behind this, otherwise, the Evil Spirit race would only grow stronger, and he wouldn't be able to keep up.
Chen Tian looked at the Evil General, and the Evil General looked back. He hadn't expected Chen Tian to be so powerful. The way he switched weapons allowed for such diverse combat styles, and the number of forms his weapon could take was astonishing. His own Evil Spirit Crossbow, after modification, only had five forms.
Four forms had already been revealed, and only the last form remained as his trump card. Without understanding Chen Tian's true strength, the Evil General dared not reveal his final move.
Chen Tian stepped forward, and his greatsword split into two spears. The spears in his hands moved like dragons. Chen Tian could now transform any element into any weapon form. Switching weapons and forms took no time; it was essentially instantaneous.
The spears charged at the Evil General. Chen Tian threw the spear in his right hand, and light shot towards the Evil General. The Evil General's arm returned to normal. A sword extended from his crossbow, and the Evil General transformed into a streak of sword light, charging towards Chen Tian's spear. Chen Tian's spear and the sword collided with a bang. Chen Tian followed behind his spear, swinging his other spear. He thrust it forward, and the sword and the spear shaft collided. Chen Tian then swung his spear, constantly switching its position between the butt and the tip. The sword also swung. For a time, neither could overcome the other in their face-to-face clash.
Then, their figures transformed into two balls of light that shot towards the sky, constantly rubbing against each other. They then retreated. The Evil General looked at his weapon and seemed to have made a decision.
The entire Evil Spirit Crossbow vibrated, and spearheads slowly grew from its sides. The original wings straightened vertically. The Evil Spirit Crossbow slowly merged with his palm, and countless claws emerged from the gun muzzle, then reassembled.
The claw lotus slowly opened, and a long sword appeared at the muzzle. This was the Evil Spirit Crossbow's strongest form. Chen Tian's spear then exploded, transforming into a long sword. A nine-colored long sword appeared in his hand, which Chen Tian gripped with one hand.
Their eyes met. The final weapon duel was about to begin. If they couldn't find each other's weaknesses this time, they would have to go all out next, relying on pure strength.
Chen Tian took a deep breath and looked at the Evil General. Their eyes met, and they instantly vanished. Bangs and crashes echoed; their figures were no longer visible.
Chen Tian and the Evil General moved too fast. Chen Tian's long sword clashed with the Evil General's long sword. Their swords continuously collided, blade against blade, edge against edge. Chen Tian found an opening and executed a decisive sweep. The Evil General defended with broad, powerful movements, instantly nullifying Chen Tian's attack. Then, an upward thrust caused Chen Tian's long sword to fly out of his hand. The Evil General's sword lunged towards Chen Tian's head.
Chen Tian activated his Extreme Dodge, leaning back. The distance was only a millimeter. Chen Tian's head and body narrowly avoided the strike.
Chen Tian then extended his arm, and his long sword returned to his hand. Simultaneously, performing a Tai Chi-like maneuver, he jammed his long sword against the Evil General's sword, spun them, and sent the Evil General's arm and weapon flying. He then swung his long sword in a horizontal sweep.
The Evil General could not defend against this sword strike. The long sword on the Evil General's arm shot out from the crossbow, flying towards Chen Tian's head with incredible speed. Even with Extreme Dodge, Chen Tian couldn't react in time.
Chen Tian had no choice but to cancel his attack and block with his long sword. He deflected the flying sword, which then returned to the Evil General's crossbow.
Chen Tian coughed and said, "It seems the forms he modified for you have many tricks."
"Are you scared? We are no longer what we were thousands of years ago. We don't fear you now."
"That remains to be seen. Do you think having human help will allow you to grow and progress? Don't be ridiculous. The Evil Spirit race is still the Evil Spirit race. You have only one outcome: to be slain by me here."
As Chen Tian spoke, his single long sword gathered nine-colored light. The light converged within the sword, making it seem even more powerful.
