Chapter 531 Defeating him with one move would be somewhat excessive
Jed's questioning came from the depths of his soul.
He had lived a solitary life, devoted solely to the study of swordsmanship.
To him, women were the root of all disasters.
And his views could be considered quite old-fashioned.
Romantic relationships between teachers and students were utterly unacceptable in his eyes.
He couldn't fathom how William the Obliterator, a swordsmanship elite, could give his sword to a woman.
"You do so to the dishonor of the sword!"
Jed raged on the spot, pointing his divine sword at William, his expression turning somewhat manic.
"Get your sword back, fight me, and then die by my sword."
William laughed, "It's just a sword. I can borrow any to fight you."
"Borrow any?" Jed burst into laughter, "Without your Sword of Soulbreaker, do you still deserve the title of William the Obliterator?"
William massaged his temples, saying, "I now go by William Johnson. Just call me William."
Jed took another deep breath, staring intently at William, "I don't care whose sword you borrow, get ready to fight!"
William extended his hand, and far away, Poseidon, the God of the Sea, felt his Sword of the Abyssal Guardian quiver.
"What's going on?" Poseidon frowned, puzzled over who dared attempt to take his sword.
"It's William!" The Sword Spirit of the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian trembled.
"Is he crazy? Borrowing weapons again?" Poseidon felt a headache coming on.
William was borrowing weapons from him again.
Not lend him?
It was impossible not to.
Deep down, he was well aware that defying William's wishes was not an option. After all, William was his uncle and had even held him when he was a child.
His avatar had visited a museum in New York and had seen that ancient stele.
"Where is he?" Poseidon, the God of the Sea, wanted to follow the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian to find William.
"I don't know!" The Sword Spirit of the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian couldn't control itself; it had no choice but to lend itself to William.
The next moment, the space around the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian twisted, and it disappeared directly from Poseidon's grasp.
Even Poseidon couldn't detect where the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian had gone.
He dared not track William's whereabouts.
"Damn! How long will he borrow the sword this time?"
Poseidon stood in place, roaring in frustration.
The next moment, the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian appeared in William's hands.
Jed, looking at the sword in William's hands, disdainfully said, "A borrowed broken sword, how could it compare to your Sword of Soulbreaker? You're seeking your own death!"
William didn't know what to say.
The Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, one of Poseidon's two great artifacts, wasn't too shabby, he thought. He was giving enough respect to his opponent,otherwise, he would have just used a wooden sword.
William didn't think there was much wrong with what Jed said, but the Sword Spirit of the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, upon hearing Jed's words, instantly lost its temper.
What did he say?
A broken sword?!!
Someone called it a broken sword again?
Do they know what one of Poseidon's two great artifacts is?
Damn!!
Such disrespect!
The Sword Spirit of the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian immediately unleashed a terrifying energy pressure.
Energy fluctuations swept through the entire space, causing all the powerful beings near Blizzard City to tremble.
Jesus, having lost his divine power, nearly fainted.
"Jed has made his move?"
Drakaina frowned, "With such terrifying energy pressure, I'm afraid William won't survive."
The ancient frost dragon scoffed at Drakaina's words: "Little snake, what are you talking about? Jed's strength daring to challenge Mr. Johnson in a sword duel?"
"Mr. Johnson?" Drakaina knew this was her breakthrough, smilingly looking at the ancient frost dragon, she asked, "My respected King of Dragons, why do you refer to William as Mr. Johnson?"
The ancient frost dragon sneered, "You has no knowledge. Back when Mr. Johnson roamed the world, who didn't respectfully kneel by his side?"
"Not necessarily kneeling." Jesus said, "Some might have ended up lying down."
Jesus continued, "That was the energy pressure emitted by the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian."
"Sword of the Abyssal Guardian?" Drakaina's eyes nearly popped out, "Are you talking about one of Poseidon's artifacts, the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian?"
Although Jesus felt a bit uncomfortable under the pressure released by the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, he calmly said, "Is there a second Sword of the Abyssal Guardian in this world?"
"How could the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian be in Jed's hands..." Drakaina quickly caught on, swallowing hard in shock, "You mean... the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian is in William's hands?"
Jesus nonchalantly said, "It's just the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian."
Just the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian?
Just?
Drakaina didn't know what to say anymore.
Not to mention the Trident in William's hands, now the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian was also with William.
And from Jesus's tone, it seemed like having the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian was an ordinary matter for William.
It seems she really was narrow-minded.
Jed, feeling the powerful energy pressure emitted by the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, started to take things more seriously, earnestly saying, "This sword is decent, now let's see if your swordsmanship has improved over the years."
William raised an eyebrow, unable to understand where Jed's confidence came from.
Although both were divine artifacts, the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian was of a lower quality compared to the Sword of Soulbreaker. But if the Sword of Soulbreaker was the strongest among swords, then the Abyssal Guardian would at least rank in the top five.
In front of William, Poseidon's strength might not be much, but after all, he is a High Order God King. In the entire Divine Realm, aside from William, who could compete with him?
Jed is merely at the Creator Deity level of strength, invincible below the Supreme Deity level. But to say that the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian is "decent" is a bit of a boast.
"Draw your sword." William decided to accommodate Jed's feelings, considering Jed has practiced his swordsmanship and waited for him for so many years.
Defeating him with one move would be somewhat excessive.
Jed's Sword of Light stirred, causing the entire God's Tear Ridge to tremble, and the surrounding space became chaotic.
"Behold my Sacred Nine Swords." Jed thrust his sword forward, and where the sword passed, space shattered.
The spatial turbulence caused by this single strike alone could annihilate any being below the Creator Deity level.
"Nine swords? That many?" William truly didn't understand why this person liked to use the number nine to name his techniques.
Was it necessary to have so many moves?
Wouldn't simplicity be better?
William easily parried Jed's first strike.
"The second sword, Lament of the Stars!" Encouraged by William blocking his first strike, Jed's expression grew more excited, and he shouted as he slashed his sword down.
"Lament of the Stars" draws upon the power of the celestial bodies. With one strike, the power of the entire Milky Way's stars was mobilized.
This strike should be enough to slay any Creator Deity in the Divine Realm.
Yet, William simply raised his sword to block.
The terrifying energy dissipated upon touching the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian.
William planned to let Jed execute all nine sword moves before defeating him, to at least take care of his emotions, right?
It has to be said, the power of the "Lament of the Stars" strike, if not for William neutralizing it, even the residual effects of the battle could have erased the entire Blizzard City.
"Seven more swords to go!" With a casual wave, William sent Jed flying hundreds of feet away.
