Li Dao released his fingers and nodded. With the Cold Moon Sword in his hand, the Sword Saint would not lose to Shangguan Tianyun by much.
A thin layer of frost formed between his middle and index finger. With a swing of his hand, he shattered the ice and fell to the ground.
”I told you, I'm much stronger than you imagined,” Li Dao said as he faced the Sword Saint.
The Sword Saint's face was filled with a bitter smile. ”Indeed, I never expected that both of us are Grandmasters. The difference between us is so great, I'm afraid you haven't even used fifty percent of your strength yet.”
Li Dao smiled and did not say anything. Firstly, he was a supreme grandmaster, and secondly, he did not even use a single ounce of his strength. All he did was reach out and grab the Sword Saint's sword.
However, he could not say those words in case the Sword Saint was too harsh on him.
”Right, the nine dragon stone is still with me!” Sword Saint took out the nine dragon stone from his chest and shrunk it again.
”I've already given you the Nine Dragons Stone, there's no need to return it to me.” Li Dao waved his hand, not minding at all about the Nine Dragons Stone.
Sword Saint nodded his head and kept the Nine Dragons Stone away again. Then, he asked, ”When do we make our move?”
”The sooner the better!”
Since he was already prepared, there was no need to drag it out any longer. Li Dao's expression was serious. This concerned the path of cultivation and he could not afford to be careless.
The stars in the sky dimmed. Li Dao and Sword Saint stood atop a mountain of swords, their robes fluttering in the night wind.
”Is there really no problem?” Sword Saint swallowed his saliva and his expression became solemn.
”No problem. When I face Fire Phoenix head on, do not hold back when you have the chance to help me!” Li Dao's expression was even more serious than the Sword Saint's. After all, he was a legendary being.
”Let's go,” said Li Dao as he walked into the narrow passageway.
The Sword Saint gripped the Cold Moon Sword tightly in his hand and followed behind Li Dao into the passageway.
Normally, the Sword Saint would walk through this narrow passageway, but today, he was especially nervous. Normally, he was here to supervise the forging of the Lingshuang Sword, to keep the fire phoenix well at bay. But today, he was here to slaughter the phoenixes, which was the same as not giving up until one was dead.
The narrow passageway was extremely deep, and the air was dry. The dark red mountain wall gave a terrifying contrast to the atmosphere.
After passing by the Sword Crafting Stone and the Sword Family Tomb, Li Dao and Sword Saint arrived in front of the scorching lava lake.
Although it was called a magma lake, it actually wasn't that big. It was more suitable to call it a pond.
Bubbles bubbled out of the magma, a dark red color. The terrifyingly high temperature could scorch an adult male to the point of fainting.
Staring at the calm lake of lava, Li Dao could clearly feel the terrifying aura of hibernation underneath. Sword Lord could also feel it. His right hand gripped the sword hilt, his knuckles turning white from overexertion.
