They're truly elite, not only powerful but also strictly disciplined, and willing to lend a hand to their allies.

During the battle at the Golden Land, although the upper echelons were reluctant to see us just die right in front of them, the reliable cooperation still maxed out Robert's favorability.

Rose, however, glanced around and softly said:

"I heard the Sword Master is also coming this time."

Lan Kaide nodded and said, "Yes, I've heard from the squad leader that the leader of this joint operation is the Sword Master. I wonder if there's a chance after the battle to learn a trick or two from him."

"Although the Sword Master is just Legendary, purely in terms of combat power, he is undoubtedly a Demigod, and his worth is far higher than other Demigods." Robert licked his dry lips.

Even though their Extreme Cold Giant Elephant Family is not well-suited for techniques like swordsmanship which require fine control, it doesn't mean he doesn't want to learn.

If the Sword Master really stood in front of him and asked if he wanted to learn, he would still shamelessly go up to learn.

Lan Kaide couldn't stand Robert's behavior anymore, closed his eyes, and slapped him on the face:

"Still 'just Legendary,' right? Can you guarantee you'll break through to Legendary even in 200 years? I'm afraid your professional level might not even guarantee you'll live to see 200 years later!"

He was really amused.

Robert chuckled and didn't continue arguing.

Although it's impossible for him to achieve Legendary in this lifetime, does it stop him from talking tough to Demigods?

No, it doesn't!

"Anyway, the Sword Master won't hear it, haha."

"Alright, you say, I listen."

A voice as gentle as a spring breeze sounded behind Robert.

Robert froze for a moment, seeing Lan Kaide and Rose's faces filled with horror, a bad suspicion flashed through his mind, he turned his head suppressing his panic.

Then he saw the Sword Master standing behind him with a dangerous smile.

Oops, caught by the person himself.

He looked up again.

He saw someone standing next to the Sword Master.

He had seen this person.

Should say, after meeting this person once, it's impossible to forget.

That's the true master of the Cursebound Army, Prince Ense, one of the two real powers of the Ense Empire.

His eyes went black.

Messed up, embarrassed in front of friendly nations.

Louis, holding back laughter, patted the Sword Master's shoulder and said:

"See, it's not just me who thinks so. Cialdini, you really should find some time to break through to Demigod, stuck in the Legendary realm for over a hundred years without breaking through, do you not like it?"

The Sword Master almost got his nose twisted in anger: "Yes, it's not like, it's also considering for you, after all, if I were the first to break through to Demigod, the first thing I'd do is give you a beating."

Louis spread his hands saying, "Do you think it's faster for you to ascend to Demigod, or for me to ascend to Legendary, whoever's slower will be embarrassed."

This time the Sword Master was truly firm, his fists hardened.

Really wanted to kill this arrogant bastard.

So angry!

Why did he lose to such a person at that time, so now facing this guy, he's subjected to mental torture.

The Sword Master considers himself a magnanimous person, except when it comes to martial arts, where he is exceptionally obsessive.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have grown to where he is now.

But he happened to encounter such a guy who doesn't abide by martial ethics, without the grace of the Saint Realm.

No, the more he thinks, the more he wants to punch him.

"Let's keep our duel in the demiplane, see who kills more demon remnants." He said sulkingly.

The Sword Master, in his life, refuses to submit to anyone.

Louis was surprised: "You've heard of the scenes of my battles, and still intend to compare with me who kills more?"

His apocalyptic nuclear explosion technique which created legends of destruction is still spread among various nations.

The one within Lokeshi Empire territory was already considered small-scale.

After all, at that time it was in another country, fearing to cause disputes, also afraid of harming innocents, so he was mostly restrained when he acted.

Fallen Star Sea was a completely different story.

Not sure how many people saw that sun suddenly rising on the sea horizon.

That terrifying might, even from a great distance, still caused notable shockwaves.

If nations hadn't been prepared, small countries unable to resist had evacuated people from the coasts in advance, and large countries activated protective arrays, those monstrous waves might have caused tens of thousands of deaths, countless coastal cities and villages submerged.

That kind of him, some even once doubted whether he was truly a nine-sword professional.

What kind of close-combat professional is like this?

Highly concentrated blood energy striking out in martial skills, may easily tear magic apart, but in wide-scale destruction, Mages have always been unrivaled.

But Louis...

Can't understand!

Everyone really doesn't get him!

Louis also knows their evaluation of him.

This act of being single-handedly excluded from the close-combat professionals, is likely to grow ever more intense in the future.

Yet in this situation, the Sword Master actually wants to compete with him in enemy kill count?

This really surprised him.

"Alright, then let's see who kills more."

Louis accepted this challenge.

The Sword Master nodded, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He definitely has a big weapon.

On the side, Lan Kaide and the other two looked at each other, utterly bewildered, unsure what to say.

They also knew about the mission to siege demon remnants in the east.

Reportedly, it's a demon elite force.

Relying on formidable strength, and wasn't crushed by Demigods in the first wave, hanging on desperately and escaped to the coast to hide.

Abyssal Church, although unable to mobilize any strong members, still know many secrets.

That demiplane was precisely the intelligence provided by them, for those demons to first hide in, recuperate, then later find chances to emerge and wreak havoc.

Unexpectedly, a registered elite adventurer team on Adventure Island happened to be executing a mission (actually the Ashford Family's Mercenary Corps), directly collided with Abyssal Church remnants scattering with a batch of demons, and then clashed.

After ultimately gaining this information and annihilating their opponents, that's why this encirclement operation came to be.

Yet...

To the two big shots, can you guys first consider others when you're dueling?

Talk as if demon elites are easy to kill.

They nearly wept listening beside them.
