Bai quickly recovered from his stupor. It was clear that it wasn't Hei Qi. Even if he had a similar image, it lacked Hei Qi's aura and strength.
More lights were illuminated and two more figures appeared in the room. They looked exactly the same as the other one with the only difference in their color. One was white while the other golden.
They weren't Hei Qi, but they seemed to be of the same race, Dragon Swordmasters. Each of them an over 100.000 years old spirit beast.
"Wahhh!" They shouted as they charged towards us. Bai invoked his twin swords, eight rings appeared under him, the first 4 shining brightly. Bai quickly discovered that it didn't work lowering their attributes, with the exemption of the golden one that found himself weaker.
Behind Renxue, her Arch-seraphim appeared followed by 9 spirit rings. Her 7th ring shined illuminating all the room in red. The Arch-seraphim fused with her body, gaining 10 wings and a golden glow, all her rings becoming golden.
She flapped her wings, a golden aura extended to all the room. It was Renxue's Truth! It was capable of immediately purify her enemies' spirit energy while invigorating and healing her allies, even being capable of surpassing the might of an All Sword.
Renxue charged forward without waiting for Bai "I'll finish this!" her 4th and 5th spirit ring shined, her golden flamed sword appearing in her hands. Her wings hugged the sword fusing with it, the blade started shining brightly. She swung her sword downwards "
"Wahhhhhhhhhh!" the golden one shouted, "Crack!" To Renxue's surprise, her Angellic Truth was destroyed like that with a simple shout, her slash clashed with the golden one without damaging it at all.
"Eh?" Renxue was too shocked at how easy was to destroy her techniques. She was unable to answer at the black and white one, each swinging their swords attacking her for each side.
Renxue could only powerless see both black and white sword approaching her "Clank!" Just as the swords were about to slice her, two swords blocked each one. It was Bai, he stood behind Renxue with his both swords extended blocking the two incoming ones.
Bai wasn't in a good position, not only stopping two enemies but even with a bad position, but he was already prepared. Just as he charged forwards to help Renxue, his legs hugged over Renxue's hip. He used the strength of his rivals to let him be pushed away, dragging Renxue between his legs.
Bai's swords disappeared as he put both hands on the ground. Putting all his weight in them, he jumped with his hands, he twisted his body mid-air, releasing Renxue at the same time. He somersaulted finally safely landing with both feet, invoking his twin swords again over his hands "Be wary next time and wait for me. You could have died." Bai scolded.
Renxue flapped her wings stabilizing on the air, floating around "Sorry" She couldn't hide a little blush of her beautiful face, a mix of shame for the position and her fail, needing to be rescued by Bai.
Bai had observed their three enemies and sensed their power behind, it was a much similar one as their. "Renxue. Take care of the golden one for a minute. There's no need to win over him. " He said "I will take care of the others."
Renxue nodded. She flapped her wings and moved away from Bai. She planned to create a distance and bait the golden one to follow her while Bai attacked the other two, but it seemed that it was unnecessary as the golden one directly charged towards her. Renxue didn't clash with him, instead tried to keep the distance, only attacking from afar, disturbing his rival while she floated around the room.
Bai found himself with the other two charging towards him. Bai light stepped the ground, an air ripple was created under him. His feet started moving strangely. Bai's body moved at high speed with strange and difficult to read movements while leaving wind in his trace. This was
Bai evaded to one side, focusing on the white one. White swung its sword, but Bai easily evaded, the white sword only gracing him. Bai crossed both his swords, his 7th ring shined, his swords grew a little as he became one with them. Black and white aura exploded as Bai slashed the swords towards the uncovered side of the white dragon who was pushed aside crashing towards a wall.
Bai stepped at a side as a black sword cut his previous position. He looked at the white dragon who was standing again, not being much affected, Bai could see one cut at his armor and penetrating his body, that area was glowing with white aura trying to close it.
Bai's left sword was covered by a little black aura as he thrust it forward towards the black dragon "Clink" The sword was rebound in its armor not causing any damage.
The black dragon struggled to swing his sword sidely towards Bai who simply stepped back leaving a tornado behind him.
Bai looked at his sword, remembering the sensation of hitting him, then looked at the two dragon swordmasters that were approaching him. "So it was that. What a useless test." Bai turned towards Renxue "Renxue, regroup!"
Renxue 1st and 2nd ring shined, her body shined with a golden glow increasing her speed and strength. She flapped her wing returning to Bai's side while letting a trace of energy bombs behind.
"It seems that my attacks are ineffective against it" Renxue explained "It's like it had the same power like me." She said thoughtfully.
Bai smiled "You're right." Bai's 5th ring shined "Let's proof one last time." 50 swords appeared surrounding Bai, each one had a different intent behind it and different intensities from them. "
Once the rain finished, the three of them were almost intact, without any wound, only light chips over their armors.
"One last thing." Bai's right sword disappeared "
Bai repeated it with his Slaughter, the same phenomenon repeating itself with the action of the black one.
"Confirmed!"
"What did you confirm, Bai?" asked Renxue curiously.
"It's simple. They aren't true Dragon Swordmasters, their simply their scabbards."
"It was clear that something was wrong with them. They had a incredible strength, speed, and defense. But awful coordination and control" Renxue stated
"They were void bodies, filled with this." Bai pointing his palm.
Renxue opened her eyes realizing "Of course, the blood. They had our powers and strength, but they don't have experience to control it, they are like dolls with our power."
"They had as a constant our maximum strength achievable, but" Bai explained "Only related with our Sword Intent. This way the white one was only to mimic the power achievable with my right sword while the black one with my left sword." (It's similar as one me being controlled by Paul and the other by the previous Bai) Bai hummed for himself. "They are Sword Wills, created from us and forced to control some bodies."
"So to win over them. The best should be to swap each other opponents." said Renxue "They won't be immune to them and at the same time, they aren't skillful enough to damage us."
"Said the one that almost dies" said Bai only to receive Renxue's death stare.
"If it was only one of us. It could have been difficult, facing someone immune to your power." Renxue said thinking.
"You will require some breakthrough in the battle, becoming stronger than your previous self." Bai statted "Not that there was any problem for me. They are unable to copy all my intents, only copies of my strongest ones. I could use my Slaughter to kill the white one and slowly kill the black one with Retaliation."
Renxue prepared to fight "I will take care of yours. Quickly finish the golden one."
"There's no need" Bai grinned "I can simply overpower them." Bai's swords disappeared and he extended his left hand pointing at the white dragon "
Renxue remembered her battle against Bai at Heaven Dou Palace, he had also used this wolf-like attack, absorbing one of her attacks.
"♪Wonder If I gave a White Fudge Oreo♪" Bai chanted as a black spirit ring shined over his left hand. Two White Fudge Oreo appeared on his hand and Bai threw one to Renxue.
"Take care of the golden one." Bai turned to the black dragon as he put the Oreo in his mouth.
"Wahhhh!" shouted the dark dragon as it charged towards Bai swinging his sword.
Bai looked coldly at it. He invoked his sword at his left hand, all his spirit rings shined with the exemption of the 5th,"
As Bai's sword cut the air, all the elements in its surrounding disappeared, becoming a complete void where only his own intent could stay, being amplified more than 100%. As Bai's sword met the black sword, it cut through it like butter, it continued forward slicing the black dragon in two, the Sword Will being destroyed by the attack.
Renxue's eyes shined seeing Bai's power. But she wasn't less than him! Renxue's floated as her 9th ring shined, a gauntlet appearing at each arm that shined brightly. The temperature of the room shot up, Bai could even feel difficult to breathe, needing to protect himself with spirit power for the water inside him to not evaporate while the golden dragon seemed to ignore it. Golden flames enveloped Renxue, engulfing her in a hell of flames. She had become a golden-red sun!
"Munch!" Renxue ate Oreo, her flames increasing, even more, the temperature and strength. "
The flames dispersed showing the figure of Renxue, the halo of flames slowly dispersing around her She was over a dome created scorching hole, the temperature incredible high. About the golden dragon? Not even a trace was left of him.
Bai was stunned, she truly seemed a goddess of the sun, she was truly radiant and beautiful. If this attack targetted hit him, he would be helpless against it, unable to put any defense. Bai shook his head and looked decidedly at Renxue (Even if there's no way to stop it, it didn't mean it can't be evaded, even if it would be incredibly difficult.) Bai clenched his hands (In the future, I will win her. I will be stronger).
Having destroyed the enemies, Bai and Renxue withdrew their spirits. At the same time, a gray patter illuminated on the floor. Bai and Renxue stepped on it "Rumble!" After a little ratter, a round platform of 3 meters of diameter, started bringing them down like an elevator.
