The Medallion novel Chapter 1459

After looking carefully, he discovered a few human shaped portraits and words on the stone tablet as well.

Rocky walked over to the nearest stone tablet. Curiosity was brimming on his face. A Taoist with a long sword on his back was carved on the tablet. Somehow, the Taoist on the tablet looked ethereal, and on the side of the stone tablet, a few words were engraved: Darius, the Sword God.

"Darius, the Sword God? Was this person the Sword God? If true, then his swordsmanship must have been amazing!" Rocky murmured.

At that moment, the Taoist on the stone tablet suddenly moved. Rocky's jaw almost dropped to the ground the next moment when the Taoist walked out of the stone tablet. Somehow, he seemed like a corporeal entity instead of an illusion.

"Are you going to challenge me?" the Taoist asked.

"What? Challenge you? Are you kidding me? You are the Sword God and I am not going to make a mountain out of a molehill." Rocky immediately waved his hand. However, he could feel that the Taoist's aura was similar to his own. In fact, the Taoist did not look like a peerless master of great strength.

"Really? Because if you challenge me and then win, you will be able to obtain a unique swordsmanship of the Sword Spirit Sect. It's known as the Thousand-star Swordsmanship," the Taoist said.

"Really? Will that really happen?" This was the first time Rocky had encountered such a situation, so he was unable to react for a while. Whatever was happening in front of him right now was beyond his wildest dreams. He was a modern man, so it was impossible for him to imagine a man walking out of a stone tablet. And then, to top it over, the man had said that if Rocky succeeded in winning a battle against him, he would receive an incredible reward. This was also beyond Rocky's imagination.

Luckily, he was quite flexible and adapted to the unfamiliar environment quite well. He immediately asked, "What if I fail in the challenge?"

"If you fail, you will be bedridden for a few days at most. I will try my best not to kill you," the Taoist said honestly.

Hearing that, Rocky suddenly had an impulse to spurt blood. What did he mean by 'try not to kill you'? Was it possible that he could die in this challenge? This was exciting!

Rocky liked excitement and challenges and therefore, decided to give it a shot.

"Okay, I'll challenge you sir. Please show me mercy," Rocky declared, cupping his hands.

"Since you haven't reached the Emperor Realm yet, I'll give you a head-start of two moves. If you can touch the sword behind me, you win," the Taoist offered.

"It is better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously." Rocky's face lit up when he heard the proposal. In terms of strength, he certainly could not defeat Darius. However, in terms of adaptability, he was confident that he could achieve victory.

"Please!" After saying that, Darius put his hands behind his back.

He then nodded to show that he was ready. Rocky stretched out his body immediately and directly attacked Darius with all the strength he could muster.

On the other hand, Darius didn't even move. The moment Rocky tried to touch him, a forceful spirit power burst out from his body and pushed back Rocky's hand.

Rocky didn't want to be outdone and continued to attack. However, no matter how close he got to Darius, he would always be shaken away by the forceful spiritual power from him. Let alone touch the sword, he couldn't even get his hands on Darius' clothes.

Seeing that a direct approach wasn't working, Rocky summoned Glutton and activated the Spirit Possession. This increased his strength and speed several folds. Then he attacked head-on again.

However, even after more than a dozen rounds, he was unable to do anything to Darius, and was already a little out of breath.

"Your speed is good, but your heart is not calm enough. An anxious heart will always affect your physical performance. You can be much faster, but because of the shackles in your mind, you are unable to reach further. Study my words carefully and then challenge me again later." After saying that, Darius turned around and entered his stone tablet with his hands behind his back. Once there, he turned back into a stone carving.
