YuXiao was in need of a sword and he thought that he'd create one just like how he did with the vengeful mask, He wanted to make a sword to complement his mask and amplify his strength. He wanted to be strong enough to get his vengeance on the people that had wronged him, including the heavens itself.
YuXiao tried concentrating just like when he made his mask but this time imagined a sword instead of a mask, he imagined a crimson sword that felt bloodthirsty to the point it affected his mental state. even trying to imagine the sword affected his mind making him radiate a dreadful aura that feels like it would attack any living being he'd come in contact with, This sword felt even more alive then his vengeful mask like it had its a living being.
This sword was the definition of destruction and was meant to kill everything within its path, such a sword is a dangerous weapon as it can effect the mind of the user and influence it with its dense killing intent and sharpness.
Reality warped as the utter anguish and hatred from the Dark Heaven Mantra created a that very sword he'd envisioned in his mind, it slowly materialized and fit YuXiao's hand perfectly and it then became an extension of himself and his hatred. A raging destructive force was now created with this sword and it was a wrathful energy that wants to kill everything, an overwhelming feeling of power came over him and a sense of superiority was born within him.
KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!
Theses words range throughout his head as the desire to kill became stronger and stronger, to those who'd see him with that sword in had and blood red mask he looked like a demon straight from hell. This monstrous appearance was offsetting and carried immense weight with his aura alone, noticing how the sword was effecting him he choose to recall it like he can with the Vengeful mask.
10 minutes had passed and now it was time for the duel with Bai Ning, YuXiao returned to where Bai Li and Bai Zhuo were waiting for him and out of pure curiosity he asked a single question about this duel.
"Is killing allowed in this duel or not I don't want to get into trouble by accidentally hurting him beyond repair" His question made both of them freeze in place.
"How ridiculous, you'll be lucky to escape alive and you are bringing up killing Bai Ning in a duel? How Arrogant of you, If you do manage to kill Bai Ning I shall personally marry my granddaughter to you and face no backlash for killing Bai Ning." Bai Zhuo was enraged at how utterly absurd what he just said was, as such he made another bet with him and even put his granddaughter's future on the line for it.

"WHATTTT!! You cannot do that grandfather!" Bai Li was utterly shocked and started shaking thinking about how her grandfather was about to bet her marriage on someone who's not even a cultivator yet.
"Senior Zhuo, I have no interest in marrying your granddaughter I just need no backlash in case I can't control myself. A person such as myself isn't fit for marriage." his words shocked both of them leaving them dumbfounded, There had been hundreds of talented cultivators courting Bai Li but none of them had ever met her grandfather's requirements. Now someone had gotten a chance that was much better then most and he refused, it was as if something wasn't adding up right.
"You, are you not interested in me romantically? There has never been anyone to reject such an offer much less even getting an offer like this." Bai Li stared at him intensely waiting to see what reasoning could possible make him say no.
"My fate is something that restricts me, things like love, compassion and understanding are my bane. I'm but deprived and shall be till the day I die, just as the heaven commands." after saying this he stared releasing an unique aura that brought down the energy in the atmosphere almost making it seem depressing, sorrow poured out of him affecting everything around him. Such sadness was not something any human should be capable of feeling.
What profound sadness, what has he gone through to become like this
Bai Li thought to herself as Bai Zhuo just silently admired him, how hes able to keep something like that sadness hidden.
Moments later he realized what he'd done and immediately blocked off his sadness, he apologized for his sudden behavior.
"it's about time we start this duel is it not?" he suggested
"Alright, Bai Ning is a almost late stage of the Nature Qi realm while being proficient in sword arts" said Bai Li while still lingering on the things YuXiao said before.
"Perfect I've wanted to duel someone with my sword for a while now, I'll be off to my duel" he smiled and walked away.
He walked while looking at the end of tunnel and once he arrived he was shocked with how huge the arena was, in the center was a tall man with blonde hair and long sword in hand. He was radiating a bright aura that originated from being unrealistic and narcissistic being highly talented and never defeated, but this time he's going to realize just how truly vast the world was.
"You must be that idiot who want's to duel me, pathetic your not even a cultivator. I could sneeze and you'd blow 100 meters into the sky and fall to your death, This is your last warning rethink your choice ill give you one last chance." The arrogant Bai Ning looked over in disgust and looked down upon him the moment he say his non existent cultivation base.
"You'll never know unless you try, death isn't picky and it could just as easily take you as it could me." YuXiao responded indifferently, He's was completely focused on suppressing the killing intent of the that came from the sword he'd created with the Dark heaven mantra.
"Foolish brat, How dare you speak of death in front of me someone whos as high as heaven itself for a mortal such as yourself. Such foolishness needs to be rid of this world which I swear on my honor!" said Bai Ning when he suddenly felt a change in his opponent, as he squinted to focus on him as then he suddenly noticed a foul aura started radiating out of YuXiao.
JUST WHAT IS THIS FOUL PRESENCE I'M FEELING FROM HIM, ITS EVEN SLIGHTLY THREATENING! JUST WHAT IS THIS BASTARD!!!
