279 Determination (1/2)

”Boom! Boom! Boom!” Thousands of explosions exploded in the sky as two bright lights clashed with each other. The fight made the surroundings tremble tremendously. The annihilated plains right now became a more desolated place which no one would be interested in staying at.

”You sure are strong even without an owner controlling you. That's amazing.” Trueblack Ancient's eyes flashed with greed and grinned, ”After killing Bu, you will be mine. No, whether you like it or not, I will be your owner!”

”Keep dreaming.” The sword snorted in disdain. After which, it attacked once again and and clashed with Trueblack Ancient.

”Boom! Bang! Boom!” The fight in the sky continued for a few minutes. After which, the sword backed off and positioned itself beside Owner Bu.

”Oi, Human. Your qi is drained now. I couldn't fight anymore if this continues.” The sword knew that this scenario was coming, but it didn't expect that it would come sooner than it calculated.

The World-Destroying Sword was deeply tied with Owner Bu. So the former knew what was happening with the latter. Now, the last reserve of qi of Owner Bu was instantly drained by the stalemate fight against Trueblack Ancient. To make the matters worse, the sword itself had no more reserved, too, leaving them in this despairing situation.

”I will cut your connections with me and you go to Youngmaster Jin. He will surely make you escape here. It's better that way.” Owner Bu seriously said. He was not willing that the sword would be in his enemies' hands. The sword was a prized memento of his friend. If he let it happen, he wouldn't have the guts to face Dreamland Emperor in the afterlife.

”That's right!” Suddenly, the sword was struck with an idea and said, ”His Highness is with us so why don't you ask him for help? I'm sure that he's just around watching us.”

”No.” Owner Bu shook his head, ”Youngmaster Jin has already done so many things for me. I couldn't trouble him any further.”

Truth be told, he already thought of this.

However, he brushed off this notion as he didn't want to abuse Jin Rou's power. But it was for sure that if Jin Rou were to take action, this constellation called Black Star was done for.

”This idiot…” The sword didn't expect that this old man was stubborn more than he looked like. It wanted to give him another smacking if not for the fact that Owner Bu's situation was getting worse. Now, it really didn't know what to say.

”So go.” Owner Bu urged the sword to go seek Jin Rou, ”It's better if I'm alone here.”

After which, Owner Bu cut off his connection with the sword. Meant that the sword was no longer his, and he was no longer the owner.

”…” The sword was speechless. This old man had really cut it off and let go. It couldn't help but admire the tenacity and determination Owner Bu was showing.

For the first time, the sword had felt something deep within.

”Alright, time to end this.” Trueblack Ancient had already grown tired of this and wanted to end the battle immediately, ”Bu, accept your death.”

The two idle Destinies suddenly moved. They equipped their treasures, dual swords of their choice, and rushed towards where Owner Bu was.

”!” Owner Bu couldn't react in time as the two Destinies had already reached his vicinity in just a matter of split second.
