Suddenly, a violent upheaval occurred, causing the entire mountain to tremble intensely. Large rocks continuously fell, creating a deafening roar outside the cave, which resonated with surprising clarity within its depths. However, Danus Leao remained unmoved, sitting quietly like an immovable mountain.Barrett Walk abruptly awoke from his natural state of meditation, looking around in confusion. The golden glow in the upper chamber quickly diminished. Upon hearing the familiar voice, Barrett's expression changed, leaving him at a loss. He seemed to lack the courage to face the situation before him."Stay here and contemplate. I will be back in a moment," Danus Leao opened his eyes and said to Barrett Walk. Then, he vanished into thin air as if he had never been there."Danus Leao! Hand over the Zhanlu sword," the War God Mas Walk appeared, with no one following behind him. His voice roared like a raging storm, causing the dense forest to sway like wild grass. The sword in his hand was simple and unadorned, resembling both bronze and precious gold. This was the true Xuanyuan Xia Yu sword, and it was clear that he was not to be underestimated.Clang! A resounding clash echoed to the heavens as Danus Leao wielded his own sword, creating a massive wall of light that seemed divine.As two great martial experts clashed, the world seemed to revolve around their relentless struggle. The Zhanlu sword in Danus Leao's hand was inferior to the Xuanyuan divine sword, yet the two remained evenly matched. Their battle was not only intense but also caused immense changes in the world, with layers of dark clouds looming and affecting the weather, a testament to the power of the War God.Suddenly, Danus Leao took a step back, breaking away from the fight. It was unheard of for someone of his caliber to retreat so easily, yet Mas Walk showed no signs of surprise. "Hand over the Zhanlu sword, and I will retreat," he said."Do you think those people can easily seize the swords from the crypt?" Danus Leao calmly looked at Mas Walk, seemingly unfazed by their actions."At least I made an effort," Mas Walk's expression remained unchanged, as if Danus Leao had not exposed his scheme."Do you know why I chose the Zhanlu sword over the Xuanyuan divine sword?" Danus Leao gently caressed the pitch-black Zhanlu sword in his hand, without even looking up."Because you lack benevolence. You are simply unable to handle the Xuanyuan divine sword, which represents the path of holiness," Mas Walk said sternly."Wrong. They both have spirits, and it's not a matter of who controls whom. I didn't choose the Xuanyuan divine sword because I felt I had not done what I should have done, while the Zhanlu sword embodies benevolence, constantly reminding me of what true benevolence is," Danus Leao rarely engaged in disputes with Mas Walk, but it was not a true dispute. It was more like a game of chess with a glass of wine in the middle."Hmph! Look at the world now. This is your so-called benevolence!" Mas Walk blamed the post-apocalyptic state of the Earth on Danus Leao, continuing, "With the Xuanyuan divine sword in my hands, it proves that I have the fortune to support the backbone of humanity. It is also my goal to strive for.""Ridiculous! Humans are just one part of the natural order. Look at the world today, with its lush forests and other species finally getting a chance to breathe," Danus Leao pointed around calmly with his sword. "Decades ago, this place was filled with skyscrapers and concrete forests. Humans deprived other species of their right to survive, so why can't other species deprive humans? The real world does not believe in tears.""Nonsense! But at least you have not deprived humanity of its right to survive," the War God Mas Walk said."Enough, words fail you now! Humanity is selfish, sacrificing the Earth for their own desires. I am merely redistributing what humans have in favor of other species. You have your beliefs, I have mine. I defeated you, and you should reflect on why I spared you in the battle fifteen years ago." Danus Leao's face remained calm, as if discussing an inconsequential matter. But if anyone overheard their conversation, the foundations of human society's beliefs would crumble. Fifteen years ago, Danus Leao spared the human war god, a colossal scandal or a harsh reality."I would rather die in battle!" Mas Wolk thrust out his chest without a hint of embarrassment."You old stubborn fool," Danus Leao shook his head and walked into the dragon scale cave."Hand over the Zhan Lu sword! It is not rightfully yours," Mas Wolk persisted."Nor is it rightfully yours. I look forward to a true battle with you!" Danus Leao continued into the cave, its entrance resembling a crouching beast. Watching Danus Leao disappear, Mas Wolk did not attempt to seal the entrance or blow it up with tons of explosives. He knew that at their level, they were no different from gods, and he might have even surpassed them. Who knows? Mas Wolk turned and walked away, knowing his stance, so he did not visit the Sword Tomb, hoping for the success of those people.In the inner courtyard of the War God Academy, hundreds of armed helicopters hovered in the sky, while armored vehicles surrounded the area, but no one entered. Inside the courtyard, several deans had gathered and were facing off against the military.Ignoring the crowd's attempts to stop him, Angeli walked out of the courtyard gate and headed towards the military, who became wary as if this slender man was a monster, which he indeed was."Angeli, stop right there!" the three chief councilors led, with Kenrick Rockefeller speaking up first. According to top-secret federal information, this dean of the combat department was not only skilled in combat but also excelled in assassination, earning him the title of Dark King. Even though the three chief councilors were top-notch warriors, they were still very cautious around him.Angeli gave a self-deprecating smile. "I didn't expect to still have this kind of influence! I wonder if it's my good fortune or misfortune? Speak up! With such a large array, you must want something, or you wouldn't be here.""Just hand over the ten legendary swords," Matthew Green intervened, speaking firmly as if it were a normal request.Angeli flashed his eight pearly white teeth, wanting to joke that he used black toothpaste for such a bright smile, but evidently, he wasn't that boring. He put on a serious smile and spoke boldly, "Why don't you go and grab the ten legendary swords yourselves!""How uncouth! They are leaders in this federation, after all! How can he speak like this in such a setting? But they've come knocking at our door, so why give them face? Even if we did, can we not grab what we want? Can we?" Audrey Rothschild furiously said in succession."Fine! I'm not as shameless as you politicians! But do you think you can snatch the treasure in the Sword Tomb?" Angeli knew that the federal government had already torn off the veil of hypocrisy, so there was no need to cover it up anymore. He snapped his fingers, and the machines in the courtyard behind him roared to life. Angeli's face fell with a look of despair. "We didn't open this war machine to deal with extraterrestrial beings, but we have no choice but to use it against our own kind."Nestled within the depths of the great valley, the Inner Court of the War God Academy is a veritable military stronghold. The last time it was merely the activation of the outer perimeter defenses of this military base. Now, with the war machine unleashed, the surrounding mountains rumble and trees continuously topple, as if struck by a natural disaster. The enormous peaks also continuously shed rocks, gradually progressing from small to large, resembling a landslide as they cascade down like a mudslide.
