A dragon’s roar resounded throughout the bamboo forest. Before Hardy got over his surprise, Philip had completed his sword attack. Caelum Sword transformed into countless swords before merging as one again. It was more than several times stronger than before, and the image of an ancient giant sword could be seen right behind it. “All Swords As One!” Philip raised his sword and met the Wind Slash technique head-on. The mysterious man drinking tea applauded. The two swords collided, and the impact shook the forest with leaves flying all over the place. The two retreated to the edge of the bamboo forest at the same time. Philip’s hand felt slightly numb, while a Chink appeared on Hardy’s sword. “Good, very good. You didn’t disappoint me,” Hardy said to Philip fanatically. “I’m afraid things won’t go as you wish this time.” After Philip said that, his hands burst into flames, and two fiery snakes wrapped around Caelum Sword. The burning Caelum Sword roasted the surrounding bamboo forest yellow. “Philip! I’m very happy that you can play with me for so long! I really need to thank you!” As Hardy spoke, the wind in this bamboo forest settled. For a while, there was only the rustling of fallen leaves and the sound of the mysterious man drinking tea. Philip did not plan to give Hardy any chance. He raised his sword and slashed away. “Too late!” Hardy waved his hands which were full of wind elements. They soon formed a seemingly airtight sphere. The moment Philip’s attack landed on the sphere, a strong repulsion bounced Philip away. The sphere did not stop but rushed at Philip like a spiky hedgehog. Philip jumped into the air and dispersed the flames from his sword. A huge sword formation with an overwhelming aura descended. Nearly a hundred Greenpeak Sword shadows danced back and forth inside the formation as the formation rotated rapidly.
Feeling this extremely powerful sword intent, the mysterious man finally could not stop himself from standing up. Under the Greenpeak Sword Formation’s constant attack, Hardy’s movements began to show flaws one after another. Soon, Hardy could no longer withstand it and stopped, raising his sword to resist. At this time, he lost his former cold and stern demeanor. His hands were full of wounds. He did not expect to end up like this before harming a hair on Philip’s head! Hardy growled, “I’m going to tear you to pieces!” In an instant, the imprint of the ancient dragon royal family on Hardy’s back glowed brightly. Green scales appeared on his body, vertical pupils replaced his normal pupils, and the skin on his fingers turned into yellow claws. However, this transformation process seemed very painful. Philip secretly rejoiced that his chimera transformation was not so troublesome. When the green sword energy in the Greenpeak Sword Formation attacked Hardy again, it only produced some clinking sounds and left white marks on his body. Seeing that the attack was ineffective now, there was no need for Philip to continue using it as it would consume his energy. He waved his hand to disperse the sword formation, waiting and watching. “This is the ancient dragon royal family!” Hardy, who had completed his transformation, raised his head and roared at Philip. “It seems that your bloodline isn’t that pure,” Philip mocked when he saw that the change in Hardy was only limited to the scales and his eyes. “I’m going to skin you alive and break every bone in your body!” After the transformation, Hardy became even more irritable. His animal instinct was unleashed. “Let’s see if your scales are tough enough.” Philip picked up Caelum Sword and slashed at the top of Hardy’s skull.
