Chapter 764
Ashton flashed a mocking smile. “I’m the one who should be asking that! Is it possible that you’re scared now,
Gareth?”
“How could I be afraid of you! What a load of rubbish!” Gareth rapidly adjusted his breathing, letting out a massive wave of killing intent once more.
“You’re just a show of strength masking weakness! Your blade has lost its edge of invincibility. You had plenty of chances to finish me with one stroke, but you were too afraid to die. You didn’t have the guts to put your life on the line!”
Ashton sneered with contempt as he continued, “I, on the other hand, remain peerless even though I’m on the verge of death. I know my mastery is unrivaled and that you’re already a dead man, Gareth. I’ve been growing stronger while you’re faltering. I’ve surpassed you now.
“It’s time for your judgement, you Jalunese bastard!”
Ashton quickly stabilized his breathing using the Cosmic Breathing Technique, causing his heart to surge with spiritual energy to replenish his exhausted reserves.
Ashton lunged forward, leaving a scorched trail in the air. He raised Frostwyrm Blade and struck downward with immense force, unleashing a strike that surpassed all his previous ones. Just as he had claimed, every moment of the fight served to temper his martial arts and his swordsmanship.
In that instant, Ashton’s sword domain engulfed Gareth.
“H–How could this be…” Gareth tilted his head back, sensing the killing intent that felt like a torrential gale. He couldn’t suppress the dread that rose within him as he felt that massive power focused into a single, lethal point.
Gareth took a step back, and with just that one retreat, his momentum was completely crushed by Ashton.
“Damn it!” Gareth finally reacted, understanding that this was a fight to the death where no timidity was permitted. He knew that the moment his resolve faltered, he had signed his own death warrant.
Gareth gritted his teeth while his spiritual energy surged forth, coiling around Hell–Bane. He roared with a distorted, savage look on his face and swung the sword. “Hell–Bane Strike!”
In that instant, a roar erupted as the sword’s intent, forged from the screams of ten thousand demons, went whistling toward its target.
It was apparent that Gareth’s sword momentum was completely suppressed by Ashton this time. It was no longer a situation of equal strength between the two.
Ashton’s sword intent collided with Gareth’s strike in a massive explosion. Gareth’s momentum hit a wall, his energy dropping sharply as the energy surrounding Hell–Bane came apart.
Under the sheer weight of the impact, the individual strands of sword energy began to splinter and dissolve, falling away in a state of total ruin.
“H–How could this be!” Gareth widened his eyes in disbelief as a cold dread shot through him. He desperately tried to boost his sword intent–but it was all in vain.
Ashton’s sword intent, like a black dragon, formed an unrivaled momentum. With the power to sweep away the universe, it crashed down and completely crushed all of the sword power Gareth had formed.
Amid a flurry of earth–shattering, thunderous explosions, Gareth’s figure appeared to be swallowed by a black dragon, his entire form overwhelmed by the sword’s unstoppable intent.
Gareth’s body contorted as he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body, riddled with countless gashes, slammed into the dirt and went still–his fate uncertain.
