Swordrear had no ti to think about what the enemy said. He was so focused on the next step he should take. It was clear as day that the opponent this ti was too powerful. He wasn't stupid not to know the disparity.
The best possible action was to run away. He couldn't risk his life here or all of his efforts would be wasted. It's not like he had multiple lives to consu.
"I know what you're thinking." Jin Rou suddenly spoke again interrupting his train of thought, "You want to escape but you cannot do it like a loser. What you're thinking is understandable. You have quite created a na for yourself already and it's a sha to tint it with sha."
It wasn't surprising that the opponent knew his thoughts. In his eyes, everything was laid back naked.
"I admit my defeat." Swordrear said with a deep breath. It was the first ti he lost a battle.
Everyone was shocked. Swordrear admitted defeat just like that? Although the enemy was really strong, it shouldn't make him admit defeat easily. Rember, he's not yet using the last variation of his Dream Sword Dao.
Moreover, Swordrear was used to battle stronger opponents. There were many who he fought stronger than him but he never acquiesced. He was determined to see the it through until the end. However, he was backing down right now? It didn't make sense at all since he loved challenging strong people.
"Swordrear is smart. He knows when to take a step back. It's probably why he's strong and many are afraid of him." A master said while ribbing his chin.
"You're admitting defeat this soon?" Jin Rou smiled and said, "You are not as stupid as I thought. At least, you're not like those from Sky Immortal Sect and Wild Temple Gate."
"There's no point in fighting an opponent I cannot defeat." Swordrear shook his head. It would be a lie if he said he wasn't disappointed and down. He had honed his sword and risked his life so many tis only to be a defeated by an unknown person.
Unlike others he fought, he's seeing Jin Rou as if he's a towering figure with no end or couldn't be determined how high it was. He felt like even if he tried to climb this wall, it's impossible to overco it.
"True. You cannot defeat even if you pass a thousand lifetis." Jin Rou chuckled, "Even your father can't, how can you?"
"You're speaking as if you know my father." Swordrear said.
,m Jin Rou chuckled. Of course, how could he not know his father? They had a connection in the past and helped him to perfect his dao.
"Just a little." Jin Rou didn't bother explaining things to the other party. It was useless after all as Swordrear wouldn't get anything from it.
"I rembered you said sothing about my variations." Swordrear said.
"You have gotten the seven variations, however you are yet to master and perfect each one of them. As a matter of fact, you cannot even fully unleash the strength of the first variation." Jin Rou said as he walked over.
"I still don't unleash its full power?" Swordrear was surprised. He thought that he had been doing well when it ca to first to fourth variation. After all, he had practiced them more for countless tis. The tis it had been honed and modified to reach this state was plethora.
Jin Rou rolled his eyes and picked up another tree branch, "You watch carefully what's the true power of Dream Sword Dao's first variation, Despair."
Jin Rou glanced at the people not far away from him and said, "You better run away, everyone. If you want to die, that is."
Then, he made a casual slash. The slash turned into a sea of flas as it engulfed everything in its path.
"Boom! Boom!" The flas devoured an entire mountain leaving an empty space behind. The mountain could withstand even the strongest winds and whatnot of the world but it couldn't against the flas.
Swordrear widened his eyes in stupefaction, "This is the first variation?"
It was too different from the variation he had. It felt like he had been studying the sword dao wrong.
"It is. That is the perfected state of the first variation. With your level, you could even last several rounds against an epoch." Jin Rou said.
"Please... teach ." Swordrear mustered his courage to speak. As a prideful being, there's no one who was capable of teaching him. But not now. Everything was too tempting.
"The rewards I want to give you is less worthy than the perfected state of your sword dao. So, I can only give you one." Jin Rou smirked, "You have to know the rest yourself."
The first variation would be a new open world to Jin Rou. It might take ti, but Jin Rou was confident that Swordrear could find his way.
Then, Jin Rou walked over to Swordrear and touched his forehead, "Rember this well. I won't repeat this."
Myriad of information about Dream Sword Dao entered his brain. The information was too much that it made his head ache. Nevertheless, he was too satisfied and bowed, "Thank you."
"Never mind that. Now go before I change my mind." Jin Rou waved his hand in a dismissive manner.
Swordrear said, "I will go now. If ever you need my assistance, you can call out."
And disappeared into thin air. There was no trace of him or whatsoever.
Everyone couldn't process the entire situation yet. The things happened was too much to take and unbelievable. Nevertheless, they knew it was real.
"My words still stand. Anyone of you killing soone from Sky Immortal and Wild Temple will be rewarded accordingly. If you can kill their sovereigns, then the rewards will be massive." Jin Rou said, "I'll be taking a trip to Flowing River, so I'll be leaving an avatar here to accommodate your services and rewards."
After saying that, Jin Rou disappeared from the mountain. Various lineages were thinking and planning of a thod to do the task. As a matter of fact, even Vermillion Palace voiced out their participation in this endeavor.
