《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 16: Sword World
Advertisement
When two warriors of the same caliber meet, it's like a bomb going off. No greeting, no half assed punches. Both Shenzi and the demon general unsheath their swords, within a split second clashing into each other fifteen times.
Dashing at each other with unbridled fighting intent, each individual will billowing through the roof, with no thought of retreat, only the way to kill their opponent the fastest while preserving their life. Upon unleashing both Unification sword realm, a 10 meter long combined Saber/Sword appears behind Shenzi, while a 10 meter tall twin headed dragon appears behind the demon general.
Reaching the peak mentality both Shenzi and the demon general swing their swords, crashing into each other like two raging bulls. Stepping on his opponent's foot, Shenzi goes into the side of the demon general. As if like two magnets connecting together, both Shenzi and the demon general fight it out like two street thugs. Weapons in hand moving continuously while slashing each other's body like maniacs.
With neither backing down, this fight is all about mentality. The first one to give in would be offering their life up to the other, every second is a ticking time bomb, one slip on either side would send one to meet their respective grave. A battle like this is already beyond an "ordinary" fight, with each other's extreme self confidence in their Dao and their self, either backing down or defending would injure themselves. Shenzi and the demon general are both headstrong figures, both gnawing at each other like the hearts demon.
While on the ground is an earth rumbling fight between two equally match opponents, the Saber and Twin headed dragon are equally as brutal. Each a manifestation of their owners will, one is the dragon in full confidence in himself, the combined Sword/Saber the personification of cutting down everything in its path.

While testing each other out, both fighters are like a sponge. Absorbing each other's fighting style, learning from their form and techniques. Both are like a mirror, opposite to each other, yet both Shenzi and the demon general are advancing as they fight. Each other's Sword Intent becoming more ethereal, more flexible by the passing second gaining more wounds on their body. Yet remaining steadfast like the tallest tree in the forest during a storm.
Fully giving into his battle instinct, Shenzi shuts down all thought process of his mind. Going into a similar state to a beast zoning in onto its prey, Shenzi's body reacts while "listening" to the movement of the demon general's muscles moving and tendons twitching, feeling the movement of Sword Intent in the air. Shenzi begins to form a mind of a chess board in his mind.
On each end are Shenzi and the demon general, picturing each movement and next possible attack. Shenzi begins to form up his own unbreakable defense, despite not defending himself. Shenzi always attacks first breaking the demon generals rhythm, each passing second the demon general feels as if he's suffocating. Getting drowned in the waves of Shenzi polishing the rust off of his sword techniques, Shenzi begins unleashing them all in his instinct mode. The shackles bordering the Sword World realm begins loosening up.
Natural born fighters like Shenzi are the toughest to fight, through every battle all the accumulated "rust" and bad battle "habits" get's shaved off. Just like how working with wood, to use sandpaper to smooth it out giving it a clean looking finish. Shenzi is precisely that "block of wood" constantly sharpening himself and his abilities.
Gaining continuous enlightenment and absorbing them into his own form. Shenzi's movements become more fluid, the control over his Sword Intent progressing leaps and bounds. Reaching the peak of his momentum, Shenzi dips his Worldly Purification into nine different spots with Castor and Pollux forming the core. In his empty left hand, an identical replication of Worldly Purification forms itself, blazing a White-Blue aura. And the main body of Worldly Purification blazing a Purple-Gold aura.

Levering in a sideways position hovering 2 feet apart from each other, both auras begin merging to form a corporeal world of swords. Combining both twin copies of Worldly Purification forming into a sword lotus. All the gathered aura erupts into a nine layered column, rubbing against each side of the column a pure Chaos energy begins being born. Absorbing it into the twins Worldly Purification. Shenzi cleaves down with heaven destroying might, forming a cross with the demon general at the core. All the converged aura and Sword Intent exploding out with the demon general as the core.
Crashing into the earth forming a six meter deep pit, with blood flowing from all orifices of the demon generals body. Shenzi sheaths his Worldly Purification walking over to the pit where the demon general lays in his own blood, "Today I will not end your life. Despite you being a demon you're a magnificent warrior to fight with. I hope for one day to cross swords with you again. Until then nothing else but my blade will claim your life."
"Congratulations host has broken through into the Sword World Realm"
"Congratulations host has gained insight into the Gemini constellation"
"Congratulations hosts Sword Intent has given birth to Worldly Purifications spirit"
