Eddie, undaunted even by formidable foes like the Demon King Hasin or the Lich King Guren, knew he was facing the most powerful human enemy yet. Tenser, under the guise of saving people, intended to eliminate some of the remaining elders of the Great Xia Nation, such as General Blade and Physician Grandma. To him, Eddie was just a bystander who happened to witness more than he should.
As Eddie drew his Ashen Demon Blade, Tenser laughed condescendingly, "Do you really think you can resist? You should have taken your own life!"
"You want a fight? You'll get one," Eddie responded coolly, his blade emitting a fierce purple flame.
Tenser summoned a minotaur wielding a blood axe, ordering, "Cut this insect into eighteen pieces, exactly."
Eddie wasn't intimidated. The more arrogant the enemy, the better his chance of winning. The Ashen Wolf roared furiously, unafraid of the higher-ranked minotaur, and Eddie's training with the wolf paid off. The minotaur, now blinded and disoriented without its master's guidance, was at a disadvantage.
Eddie and the Ashen Wolf coordinated their attacks, relentlessly driving the minotaur toward a high cliff beside the medical facility. Realizing their strategy, Tenser tried to intervene, summoning two more enhanced beasts to aid him.
Facing Tenser's aggressive assault, Eddie coolly threw a Death Orb, a relic from the Lich Sogar, capable of transporting both the user and an enemy to a duel space.
Determined to defeat the arrogant Tenser, Eddie was ready to risk it all.
Tenser, a powerful warrior specializing in enhancement, was a formidable opponent, possibly even stronger than the Golden Bear inside Elder Haye Yew and comparable to Emperor's level seven Warlord strength.
The battle intensified as Eddie faced Tenser's onslaught, prepared to use every skill and tactic at his disposal to emerge victorious.
Eddie understood that Tenser was a formidable opponent, even more powerful than the mentor from Piaomiao Sect who taught Yue Feng.
Among the ranks of White Cloud Sect, below the sect master, were two Grand Celestials and four Elders.
Eddie suspected that Tenser, with his overwhelming strength and disregard for Great Xia Nation, was one of these four Elders.
To defeat him without using the innate invisible sword qi was difficult, but using it risked exposing his status as an innate warrior to White Cloud Sect.
Thus, Eddie reluctantly used the Death Orb, a precious item he hesitated to use. As the orb shattered, a black-purple light engulfed Tenser, transporting both to the duel space.
Meanwhile, the Ashen Wolf lured the blinded minotaur to the cliff edge and pushed it off before quickly returning to attack the misty demon enveloping Physician Grandma.
On the other side of the medical facility, Hawk Eye Man struggled against a silver-rank eight giant python, unable to summon his own beast due to the python being its natural enemy.
Despite his tough armor and excellent defense, Hawk Eye Man was in a difficult position, fighting alone against the formidable python.
In the duel space, Tenser was enraged, feeling humiliated by being outwitted. "You think these are your last words?" Eddie taunted, summoning the Blood Queen and the Bull Shadow.
"The Blood Queen? The golden-rank Blood Queen?" Tenser was shocked and envious to see such a powerful beast with a young adversary. He knew he must eliminate Eddie to avoid future threats. Fortunately for Tenser, the Blood Queen was only golden-rank four, leaving the outcome of the battle uncertain.
Blood Queen soared high, while Bull Shadow stayed close behind Eddie, ready to strike. As for Little Thorny Wenli and the Metal Beast, Eddie kept them in reserve for a surprise attack.
Tenser, experienced in battle, summoned a bronze-rank seven "Rockskin Big Rice Beast" to counter the bronze-rank five Bull Shadow.
For Blood Queen, he called forth a bronze-rank seven "Electric Bat," a swift creature capable of emitting powerful electrical attacks.
Tenser, thinking Eddie would hide behind a shield, was taken aback when Eddie retracted the silver tome. "Do you really think just a golden-rank four Blood Queen can defeat me?" Tenser laughed scornfully.
Eddie, unresponsive, brandished his Ashen Demon Blade, its purple flames rising fiercely. As Tenser attacked with unbridled arrogance, Eddie vanished like smoke, charging at the Rockskin Big Rice Beast.
"Idiot, seeking death," Tenser sneered, mistaking Eddie's move as an attempt to gain an advantage by eliminating his Rockskin Big Rice Beast first. He followed with a fluid blade strike, chasing after Eddie.
Meanwhile, the Rockskin Big Rice Beast raised its club to smash down on Bull Shadow, who, under Eddie's control, evaded the attack. Its slaughter blade struck heavily on the beast's side, sending rock fragments flying.
Eddie used the Bull Shadow's back as a springboard, leaping towards the Electric Bat entangled with Blood Queen in the sky.
Tenser, realizing Eddie had escaped his strike, growled in frustration and leaped after him, determined to finish off the young challenger. Confident in his combat skills and bolstered by two enhanced beasts, he believed a single strike could end Eddie's life.
The Electric Bat, not fearing Eddie's attack, was quick and had already detected his position using sonar.
It launched electric balls and sweeping electric arcs from its wings, aiming to paralyze Eddie even for just a second, which would be enough for Tenser to deliver the killing blow.
"Perfect timing!" Eddie skillfully rotated his Ashen Demon Blade, executing the self-taught "Round Slash," forming a yin-yang fish pattern.
The electric arcs were drawn into two streams of electric light, while the electric balls became the eyes of the yin-yang fish.
The chaotic electric arcs in the air transformed into a perfect circle under Eddie's control, slowly rotating and cutting towards Tenser, who was furiously attacking from behind.
Tenser was stunned by Eddie's mystical and incredible technique, something he had never encountered before. "How is this possible?
What kind of technique is this?" he wondered.
Meanwhile, Blood Queen accelerated, becoming a blur to the human eye. She dove down, slashing her Moon Blade between the two heads of the Electric Bat, nearly splitting the unprotected demon in half. Her other hand, wielding a golden dragon-slaying dagger, pierced through the Electric Bat's heart from the back.
Eddie arrived and sliced through the Electric Bat's chest with his Ashen Demon Blade, grabbing one of its claws and hurling the creature towards Tenser, who was dodging the yin-yang electric circle and catching the incoming greatsword.
The powerful greatsword, thrown by Eddie, cleaved the severely wounded Electric Bat in two. Eddie then used Blood Queen's momentum to kick the greatsword back towards Tenser. As Tenser caught it with a disdainful expression, Eddie and Blood Queen instantly appeared in front of him. Eddie tightly grasped the greatsword, wrestling it from Tenser, while Blood Queen emitted a piercing banshee scream next to Tenser's ear.
"Ah!" Tenser felt his mind go blank. Even with the protection of his enhanced beasts, he couldn't resist the dizziness. As he struggled out of his stupor, he saw the spinning "yin-yang electric circle" cutting towards him and widened his eyes in horror, trying to escape.
"Too late," Eddie coldly hummed, "Time to send you to the afterlife!"
