278 Courage (1/2)

”This is nuts.” Owner Bu could feel the danger looming above his head. He knew himself that with this kind of enemies in front of him, he wouldn't be able to survive. After all, he was now facing two Destinies and even one Ancient!

He was already struggling during his fight against Bluepeacock Destiny. What more for three stronger opponents? Because of this, he instinctively backed off several steps.

”Afraid?” Trueblack Ancient smirked and revealed a dense amount of killing intent,

”You will not escape from us again, Bastard Bu. Since you offer yourself in our front door, wouldn't it be a shame if we don't play as a host to receive your head?”

”You really think I'm that easy to push over? Do you think I am still the old Bu in the past?” Owner Bu was enraged. He summoned the World-Destroying Sword once again.

However, the sword didn't move an inch which confused Owner Bu. After a short while, the sword finally said, ”Human, we can't defeat them. I just gauged their strength and calculated the possibility of us winning. And our chance on defeating them is a despairing 0.1%. You will die if you still keep this up.”

Owner Bu was shocked to his core. Seeing this expression, the sword continued, ”It is not shameful to run away now. You have already proven your power here. I still have enough strength for us to escape here safely. So let's call this a day and retreat.”

The World-Destroying Sword was very concerned about Owner Bu right now. Though the latter was only an ant in its eyes, the former had acknowledged the perseverance and fighting spirit of the latter. In fact, it could see the determination in his eyes even he was facing this type of enemies.

It really wanted to urge Owner Bu to escape since they really couldn't win right now. After all, the sword's power is the same as the owner's power. It couldn't use its full potential due to the owner having insufficient cultivation and power.

Owner Bu looked pale, however, he shook his head and declined the sword's idea, ”No, I cannot. I have ran once for my life already. I don't think I will be able to swallow cowardice again.”

”Idiot!” The sword was annoyed and gave Owner Bu a smack by its hilt, ”Escaping to preserve life isn't an act of cowardice. It's a strategic retreat. No one will mock you for running, I'm sure of it.”

”But still, I don't want to run away.” Owner Bu smiled wryly and shook his head, ”I'm done running away. This time, I will fight to the death!”

”…” The sword was speechless because of its owner's stupidity. Why would he choose to die here over the chance of escaping? To preserve honor and dignity as a cultivator? When he was dead, all of this would be meaningless now. So what's the point?

It sighed and clicked its tongue, if it had one,

”Fine. Go and be heroic! If you want to die this way, then be it! I don't care anymore.”

”Oh? Already done bidding good bye?” Trueblack Ancient smiled and asked, ”So let's not waste time and offer your head on your own volition to make things easier.”
