Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

Seeing his three masters leave to make preparations, Keldeo, who had been suppressing his emotions, immediately came over.

Look at its carefree manner, it's like a little colt entertaining itself... even though it is originally a small water horse.

The simple-minded Keldeo hadn't considered his relationship with Yeezy at all and happily struck up a conversation.

"You guys are actually going to challenge Master and the others? That's amazing!"

"Let me tell you, Master Delacion's swordplay is far more powerful than the swordplay you used that day. After all, its characteristic is..."

"And the sword techniques of Masters Gopaloo and Virigion also have several unique characteristics..."

Seeing that Keldeo was about to expose the three holy swordsmen's underwear, Yegor, whose eyelids were twitching, grabbed its muzzle.

He glanced at Keldeo, whose eyes had turned cross-eyed, with some disdain, and said impatiently, "You talk too much. Do you even know the other person before you start chatting them up?"

He was beaten up before, but he still treats the other person as a new friend. What kind of masochist is that?

Su Hao and Ye Yibu were also speechless at Keldeo's overly familiar manner.

Well, it's obvious at a glance that Keldeo is well protected by the three Holy Swordsmen and the Northern Bear Alliance.

After all, it practically wears its naiveté on its sleeve.

And once they both reply—

Then came Keldeo's even more excited output.

The mere fact that his mouth was being held shut had absolutely no effect on Keldeo's performance.

After all, it doesn't speak through its throat, but through telepathy.

Seeing that he was unable to stop the little horse that was about to run wild, Yegor simply chose to give up.

Anyway, once the three Holy Swordsmen return, Keldeo will behave himself.

Unlike Yegor, who was utterly despondent, Keldeo was trying to inquire about things related to the "evil dragon."

"Hey, hey, hey, is the 'evil dragon' that Master and the others talked about really like the ones in the stories, committing all sorts of atrocities like burning, killing, and looting?"

The little water horse lay at Su Hao's feet, tilting its head back and asking him and Ye Yibu, who was resting with their eyes closed, questions with curiosity.

Ye Yibu did not want to answer, and besides, it still needed to cultivate its sword intent in preparation for the battle, so it could not be distracted.

Therefore, this problem could only fall on Su Hao.

Before he went back, he also looked up some allegorical fairy tales in the Northern Bear Alliance.

They eventually found the "fairy tale" that the three holy swordsmen had sung to mankind.

The story is not complicated. Basically, it's about a dragon that dwells deep in the polar regions, appearing from time to time near human villages and Pokémon gathering places, freezing these places with the low-temperature cold currents that seep out with its breath.

Humans and Pokémon suffered greatly, yet were powerless to resist the evil dragon's cruelty, and could only offer food in exchange for temporary peace.

But the dragon's ambition grew day by day until it overturned the table laden with delicacies, declaring that these were far from enough to satisfy it, and directly kidnapped the beautiful princess to be its bride.

Humans and Pokémon could no longer endure the oppression of the evil dragon. In order to save the princess who had been captured, and also to save themselves.

After making some inquiries, they approached three Pokémon swordsmen who were traveling and asked for their help to defeat the evil dragon and rescue the princess.

What happened next was pretty much what Su Hao had learned from Yegor.

Although the three Pokémon swordsmen combined were no match for the overwhelmingly powerful dragon, their righteous will moved the dragon, making it feel satisfied. It willingly allowed itself to be sealed away, and bestowed upon the three Pokémon swordsmen the title of "Saint Swordsmen," returning the princess it had kidnapped.

Oh my god, how could this evil dragon be so wicked...!

Su Hao would definitely not answer like that.

He could only follow Keldeo's understanding of the "evil dragon" and patiently explain: "It may have been evil before, but from the moment it realizes its mistakes and punishes itself, it can no longer be judged by good or evil."

"Anyway, from now on we won't call it an evil dragon anymore. How about we call it 'Kyurem'? That's its name."

The reason Su Hao said this was because he was worried that if Keldeo really called Kyurem "evil dragon" all the time, Kyurem might get angry and forget to hold back, and the little water horse might accidentally kill him.

"Kyurem..."

Kailudio stared blankly at Su Hao, silently repeating the name in his heart.

Chapter 1494 Sword Skills Arriving in the Divine Realm

The three holy swordsmen who had made the follow-up arrangements returned just as Su Hao was talking to Keldeo.

Hearing Su Hao's explanation to Keldeo, their gazes towards Su Hao held a complex mix of emotions that were hard to define.

This human... actually knows that person's name.

Unbeknownst to Su Hao, the three returning Holy Swordsmen became even more focused on this sparring match.

Seeing the Holy Swordsmen who were already prepared, Su Hao turned around and asked, "Who wants to go first?"

"I'll go first. Although I don't know what it's about, I do have a connection with this determined swordsman."

Biligion stepped forward, his somewhat feminine voice carrying a clear, crisp quality.

It also explained what the three of them had just been busy with.

"The wild Pokémon in the vicinity have all been persuaded to leave, so you don't need to worry about anything. Both sides should just give it their all."

Even if it's just a pure swordsmanship contest, the physical attributes of a legendary elf are undeniable, and the crisscrossing sword energy could easily injure innocent people if not handled carefully.

The three compassionate swordsmen would naturally go ahead and temporarily persuade the wild Pokémon to leave.

"Okay, then you don't need to worry about the environment. I can restore the affected trees and grass."

Su Hao opened his palm, and a fluorescent green light danced in his palm.

"A very strong sense of life. With that, our last bit of hesitation has completely vanished."

Biligion chuckled, his goodwill towards Su Hao increasing even further.

Although there weren't many plants surviving on this frozen ground, and they were all sparse, Su Hao's initiative to offer to let these precious plants survive truly aligned with the values ​​of the Holy Swordsmen.

Soon, only the figures of Virigion and Yeyub remained on the empty frozen ground.

Even Su Hao, along with Gopaloon, Terakion, and Keldeo, retreated to the area where Yegor was located.

Even though Su Hao's command could keep up with Ye Yibu's sword-wielding speed, he still chose not to get involved in this purely technical contest.

This is Ye Yibu's own trial, as well as a summary and sublimation of his swordsmanship over the past two years.

...................

A cold wind swirled a fallen leaf across the vast, pale frozen earth.

The fallen leaves, like butterflies fluttering in the air, drifted to the ground after several turns.

At that moment, Virizion and Yeev simultaneously attacked.

"Drink!"

Biligion raised his head, and a long, emerald-green sword radiating a sharp and sacred aura instantly materialized in the empty space between his forehead!

The move "Holy Sword"!

Yeebu did not immediately transform into the form of the Sword King. Instead, it gathered energy and, based on the leaf on its forehead, condensed a bright green leaf blade that exuded a sharp aura.

With Virizion's discerning eye, he immediately saw through the true nature of Yeev's Leaf Blade.

"As expected, besides our attributes, there is a strange connection between us!"

The moment the sound fell, Biligion shook his head.

The sharp, azure sword energy, carrying the power to sever all wills, hurtled straight toward Ye Yibu!

Just like the very beginning, the sword intent on the broken horn of the Biligion that Ye Yibu obtained from Su Hao.

—But the Virizion before me is clearly much stronger, and the owner of that broken horn has long been surpassed by Yeezy!

"Whoosh!"

Ye Yibu let out a soft murmur, and then unleashed a simple and unadorned sword strike!

The cyan and green sword energies collided and intertwined, and the powerful sword energy that dissipated instantly caused the snowflakes to turn into snow mist, obscuring the view.

Returning to the perspective of Virizion and Yeev, they had long since vanished from their original positions, now wielding their swords and ignoring the snow-covered fog as they charged toward each other.

Boom!

The blades clashed, seemingly unable to gain the upper hand.

The two figures touched and separated in an instant, like a light and agile whirlwind, shifting positions and sword blades with nimble movements to initiate a collision.

"...He really is evenly matched with Master Bilijion!"

Keldeo stared wide-eyed at the scene, thinking to himself that he usually found a weakness in his master Virizion after a few exchanges, and was defeated without any resistance.

But Yeev was able to engage in such a fierce battle with Virizion!

Terakion and Cobalion were also amazed. In terms of agility, Yeev was actually on the same level as Virizion!

Yegor, who was already numb from watching, added with a cold face.

"It's not in its full form yet."

Despite completely dominating Virizion in swordsmanship due to the difference in physical abilities, Yeev couldn't gain much of an advantage.

After a moment's thought, Ye Yibu did not immediately transform into the form of the Sword King, but instead used the technique he had honed day and night.

".......!"

Just like the day of enlightenment, the world in Ye Yibu's eyes suddenly slowed down.

Amidst the silent howling of the wind, Yeev's fastest sword strike suddenly slashed out, much to Virizion's astonishment!

A flash of green light seemed to slice the world in an instant, leaving a clearly visible crack on the emerald blade of Biligion's sword.

Even with the legendary elves' inexhaustible energy reserves, the crack was instantly repaired by the surge of energy.

Biligion stopped what he was doing.

Its gaze toward Ye Yibu was filled with awe and admiration.

It didn't react at all for a moment, and only when the blade hit it did it seem to wake up from a dream.

In its most proficient area of ​​agile swordsmanship, it was completely overwhelmed!
