Agastya hastily asked, “Varuna, are you alright?”
Varuna steeled himself and said, “I'm fine, but it is indeed rare to find someone as strong as him.”
“We shouldn't let our guard down from now on. Otherwise, we may suffer an unexpected defeat.”
Agastya no longer regarded Nathan with the disdainful look he wore when they first met.
He was now more serious than ever as he uttered solemnly, “That's right. We shouldn't reserve our strength anymore. We'll use our ultimate technique now and prioritize killing him.”
Varuna nodded.
With that, both of them raised their swords again.
However, instead of immediately attacking Nathan, they walked around in circles like fish swimming in a pond.
Subsequently, the image of light and dark fish began to form on the ground where they left their footprints.
The two of them, one dressed in black while the other in white, stood precisely at the spot where the eyes of the light and dark fish would be.
Then, Agastya and Varuna both struck a similar pose.
Instantaneously, a massive holographic image featuring the Eight Trigrams light and dark fish appeared behind them.
Nathan frowned slightly.
“I heard my master mention this Blade of Light and Dark Fish technique before, but I've never seen it in person. I certainly didn't expect to witness it here today. There are all kinds of powerful skills at Heavenly City, but most of them are related to my master's. I wonder how much torment my master had endured here and how many potent techniques you've forcibly learned from him. If you two are willing to surrender now and guide me to rescue my master, I'll promise to spare your lives.”
Agastya and Varuna merely stayed silent and continued to fortify their auras.
As their auras intensified, the holographic image of the Eight Trigrams light and dark fish behind their back grew more vivid.
After that, the holographic light and dark fish even began to spin rapidly, forming a vast, dark vortex. Nathan could sense that something seemed to be coming out from the gyre.
Anyone could tell that Agastya and Varuna were getting ready to unleash their ultimate killing move.
Nathan sneered, “It seems like you two aren't planning to savor this opportunity I'm offering you. If that's the case, my only choice is to kill the two of you before seeking the answers I desire from your Allfather.”
Agastya exhaled and piped up, “Myriad Swords.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a multitude of sharp-blades-like silhouettes emerged from the swirling vortex behind them.
