When Liu Huohuo thanked her, Shangguan Xian didnât take it to heart. She turned to Xu Zimo with a smile. âYou were right,â she said. âIn life, what people really seek is pain. Just like you men say, eat meat in great chunks, drink wine in great gulps. To die beneath the peony blossom, and be a romantic ghost even in death. Life is short; you might as well live it however you want.â
Xu Zimo chuckled. âSo youâve suddenly figured it out?â
âNot exactly suddenly,â Shangguan Xian replied. âI used to think violence couldnât solve anything. But when I killed that Luo Ji just now, I felt so free. Some things can only be solved by violence.â She smiled faintly. âYouâre up next. That Army Breaker is the Holy Son of the Many Weapons God-Sect, his strength isnât to be underestimated. Donât mess this up.â
âDonât worry,â Xu Zimo said with a grin.
âXu Zimo versus Army Breaker!â
With the refereeâs loud announcement, Xu Zimo walked step by step onto the arena. The crowd fell silent. On the opposite side, a tall, broad-shouldered man in a crimson robe approached. His presence was sharp, like a blade drawn from its sheath.
âArmy Breaker.â
His eyes were like swords, calmly fixed on Xu Zimo. Around him, the air shimmered with weapon intent so strong it distorted the space. It was as if he himself were the master of all weapons.
His eyes were blades, his arms knives, his legs staves, his body an axe. The aura of eighteen kinds of weapons surged and intertwined around him, until standing before Xu Zimo no longer seemed a man, but a living weapon.
To temper the body as a weapon, to forge oneself until godlike, that was the creed of the Many Weapons God-Sect. As its Holy Son, Army Breaker embodied this perfectly. Since childhood, he had treated himself as a weapon. With every casual wave, thousands of sword and blade intents cut through the air.
âFight,â Army Breaker said calmly. âAll along, I saw Xiao Anshan as my greatest rival. But your appearance has added some uncertainty to this Chaos Fire God Realm. Everyone thought the final victor would be decided between me and him.â
âYouâre impressive,â Xu Zimo replied. âTo temper your body into a weapon must have cost you great suffering. Your will is strong, your mind unshakable. If I hadnât appeared, youâd indeed have been Xiao Anshanâs equal.â
âFrom the sound of it, you think the outcomeâs already decided,â Army Breaker said with a faint smile. âYouâre that sure youâll win?â
âFrom the moment I stepped onto this stage,â Xu Zimo said evenly, âthe match was already over.â
âThen let me see whether your arrogance matches your strength,â Army Breaker shouted.
With a wave of his hand, a tide of blade intent roared out. The surrounding void split open like tofu under its force. Xu Zimo raised his head and clenched his right hand in mid-air. The space itself seemed to collapse into his grip. There was a loud crack, and the blade intent shattered completely, dissolving into nothingness.
Army Breaker frowned. He lifted his head and swung his arm again. From the heavens, a mighty spear of energy condensed, humming with killing will.
âThe spear, king of all weapons. With the spear, command the world; with the spear, rule the heavens!â
Army Breaker grasped the spear and thrust it toward Xu Zimoâs face. Xu Zimo slowly drew Shadow Tyrant from his back, blocking the incoming strike. Sparks burst with a deafening clang as the two weapons clashed. Their figures blurred past each other and separated once more.
âAgain!â Army Breaker roared.
This time, two spears formed at his sides, while two flying swords appeared beneath his feet. He charged forward like a storm of weapons. Xu Zimo frowned slightly. The power radiating from Army Breakerâs body made even the air tremble.
Xu Zimo spun Shadow Tyrant in a half arc. The sky filled with blade energy, slashing across the void. When blade met body, the spears shattered, the swords vanished, and Army Breaker was blasted backward.
âIncredible,â Army Breaker said with a grin as he climbed to his feet. âWhen it comes to pure blade technique, I canât match you.â
âYou havenât been cultivating the blade,â Xu Zimo said, shaking his head. âYouâve been cultivating the weapon body. Thereâs no comparison. Let me see your Hundred-Weapon Battle Body.â
The so-called Hundred-Weapon Battle Body transformed every part of the cultivator into a weapon. Every punch, every kick carried infinite weapon intent, sharp beyond measure, dominance incarnate.
âFine!â Army Breaker laughed heartily. His body erupted with the will of countless weapons. Around the arena, all spectators who carried swords or blades felt them tremble and hum in response, acknowledging Army Breakerâs supremacy.
Yet Army Breaker ignored them. All his weapon intent surged toward Shadow Tyrant, trying to seize control of Xu Zimoâs blade, defeat the man by conquering his weapon.
Xu Zimo laughed lightly. âYouâre still too green if you think you can take Shadow Tyrant from me.â
He released his grip, letting Shadow Tyrant hover freely before him, inviting Army Breakerâs challenge. But Army Breaker immediately sensed that his weapon intent had struck something unyielding, as if crashing against the indestructible soul of a blade. His will couldnât move Shadow Tyrant at all.
âRemarkable,â Army Breaker said in awe. âEven at full power, my weapon intent can control Xiao Anshanâs sword. But yours, yours is beyond anything I imagined. Youâre like a bottomless abyss.â
âTake my blade,â Xu Zimo said, laughing.
He raised Shadow Tyrant high overhead, its edge pointing toward the heavens. Endless blade intent surged upward, linking with the boundless void. A thunderous boom shook the arena as a sea of blades fell from the sky, crashing down upon Army Breakerâs weapon-forged body.
âWhile the blade endures, I endure!â Army Breaker roared. âAs long as weapon intent exists, I exist!â
Despite his defiance, Xu Zimo remained calm. He opened his mouth and uttered a single word, âExtinguish.â
That one word rang like a divine decree. All laws fell silent; all weapon intent vanished. The void became utterly still. Army Breaker was slammed into the ground, pinned beneath the weight of Xu Zimoâs will.
âPowerful,â Army Breaker laughed breathlessly. âSo powerful it makes me tremble. I thought Iâd lose, but not this fast, not this completely, without a shred of resistance.â
âIâll spare your life,â Xu Zimo said.
âNo need,â Army Breaker replied solemnly. âI have one technique, my own creation. Itâs unstable, which is why Iâve never used it. But today, before all of Chaos Fire God Realm, Iâll show it to you. If I fall afterward, Iâll have no regrets.â
Xu Zimo didnât try to stop him. Everyone had their own path. Some preferred survival; others would rather burn bright, even for an instant.
âThen show me.â
âWatch closely!â Army Breaker laughed, his aura surging. âThis technique is called Heaven-Piercing God-Soldiers!â
âHeaven-Piercing God-Soldiers,â Xu Zimo murmured to himself, anticipation flickering in his eyes.
