Xue Wuyi’s sword contained incomparably subtle sword dao intentions, not only the sword dao, but also the dao of speed, the dao of sharpness, the dao of penetration …… and so on, dozens of holy dao fused into one.
When the sword stabbed out, instantly, cold light shot out in all directions, and the flying snow between the sky and the earth gently trembled.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were incomparably absolute, a sword intent within his body that was no weaker than that of Xue Wuyi erupted outwardly, his hands simultaneously grasped the hilt of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, and there were countless Saint Dao rules that surged out to merge into the body of the sword, and he attacked out with a sword that clashed with Xue Wuyi.
“Boom boom.”
Both of them were the topmost sword dao wizards, the speed of their moves was extremely fast, obviously there were only two of them, but they were presenting hundreds of silhouettes, and the sword qi that erupted was even more densely packed, just like a sea of swords that filled the entire space, making it difficult for people to get close.
Suddenly, the time between heaven and earth stopped for a moment, all the silhouettes, sword qi, and snowflakes stood still, and only a bright sword light passed through that space.
“Not good, the Sword of Time.”
Xue Wuyi’s eyes shrunk, his pupils were almost filled with sword light, and he hastily activated the time brand in his palm, also executing a Sword of Time move to meet the flying sword light.
In Xue Wuyi’s left and right palms, there were time branding and space branding, given to him by Saint Monk Sumeru.
“Pfft.”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword pierced through Xue Wuyi’s body, and at the same time, the sword in Xue Wuyi’s hand also pierced through Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Holy blood gushed out from both of their bodies.
Xue Wuye was slightly stunned, he did not expect Zhang Ruochen to prefer to fight him to the death rather than avoiding it, was it really that he could no longer perceive pain?
Right at this instant, Zhang Ruochen quickly changed his stance, his five fingers loosened the hilt of the sword, then, forming a palm seal, he struck the top of the hilt of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword with his full force.
“Giggling.”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword completely sank into Xue Wuyi’s body, all the way up to the hilt’s position, and the impact force contained on the sword caused Xue Wuyi to fly out backwards, and was nailed by the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword on top of the dozens of feet high city wall.
“Surprisingly, even Xue Wuye was defeated in battle.”
“Xue Wuyi has never been defeated, even in that battle with Grandmaster Tachi, it was only a draw. Moreover, not long ago, he even defeated the Immortal Blood Clan’s Infinite Sword Saint. Even a Sword Emperor at this age would probably be comparable to him.”
“Yet, Zhang Ruochen defeated him, it’s really a bit pervertedly strong.”
……
Three Sect Sons in a row were all heavily defeated, that image was so shocking that many people were dumbstruck, and a thought arose in their hearts that perhaps there was no undefeatable person in the world at all, and that even the most outstanding of human masters had times when they would fall.
And Zhang Ruochen was overthrowing a legend, defeating an impossible person to defeat.
Because of his presence, the light on the nine great Realm Sons became dim.
The few remaining Realm Sons realised that even if they possessed the same powerful strength as Zhang Ruochen, it was unlikely that they would be able to defeat him in a one-on-one situation.
“Good, worthy of being a Space-Time Successor, I’ll battle you.”
Gai Tianjiao’s voice was rough as he roared out, stimulating the power of his Innate Extreme Yang Body, radiating blazing power and golden light all over his body.
From afar, it was very much like a blazing sun radiating flames, containing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth within her body.
A muscle on Gai Tianjiao’s body was like a red-hot iron block, and when she punched out, a large spark immediately emerged, causing space to gently tremble.
Five-coloured light surged out from Zhang Ruochen’s body as he punched out a palm seal, colliding with her blazing fist, having a wave of fire surging outwards.
On the other end, Yearning Cold straightened outside the palace gate and took out a six-foot long ancient zither.
The ancient zither stood vertically on the ground, and Years of Cold held the zither’s forehead with one hand, while the other hand bounced on top of the zither’s strings.
On the strings of the zither, a single note flew out, condensing into silhouettes holding long swords, “they” were steaming with murderous vigour, as if they were hundreds of swordsmen, attacking Zhang Ruochen at the same time.
At the same time, the Mystic Shadow, whose entire body was wrapped in a black robe, grasped the black staff in his hand and made a point in the direction where Zhang Ruochen was.
“Wow…”
In an instant, above Zhang Ruochen’s head, heaven and earth auras intertwined and condensed into a circular formation.
The formation operated rapidly, with circles of light patterns rushing out of the formation and falling onto Zhang Ruochen’s body. With each circle of light patterns falling, Zhang Ruochen felt as if he was under the pressure of a huge mountain, and his feet kept sinking into the ground.
Each zither sound struck by Age Cold landed on Zhang Ruochen’s body, either leaving a sword wound or striking his body to sink inwards, causing the injuries on his body to continuously worsen.
The three great Sect Sons struck at the same time, suppressing Zhang Ruochen so much that he could not move and could only be beaten passively.
“Still not admitting defeat?”
Age Cold sighed and gently shook his head.
In the next moment, a heavy overlapping shadow appeared on the ten fingers of his hands, pressing them on top of the zither strings at the same time, playing thousands of zither tones in an instant.
The thousands of zither tones overlapped together, forming a resonance, and instantly, it transformed into a sound that shook the heavens and spread out.
The ancient zither trembled, and so did Yearning Cold’s hands, even his own eardrums were ruptured, and blood flowed from his ears.
The thousand zither sounds condensed into a huge translucent sword tens of feet long, spinning in mid-air for half a week before it swung down violently, cleaving towards Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Anyone knew that the moment to decide Zhang Ruochen’s life and death had arrived.
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath as his chest and abdomen rose and fell violently.
“Boom–”
The Pure Destruction Divine Flame surged out from the one hundred and forty-four orifices in Zhang Ruochen’s entire body, and in a split second, Gai Tianjiao’s arm was burnt to a crisp, and apart from the bones, the flesh and blood on his arm was actually turned into ashes.
It should be known that Gai Tianjiao’s Innate Extreme Yang Body had already become a great success, and the thing that she was most unafraid of was flames, even if she were to refine her for three days and three nights with the Infinite Sacred Flame, it would be impossible to injure even a single hair on her head.
Under the Pure Destruction Divine Flame, however, she suffered a heavy blow.
The formation hanging above Zhang Ruochen’s head was naturally annihilated by the Pure Destruction divine Flame and lost its power.
However, the huge sword that was formed from the convergence of zither sounds was not burnt by the Pure Destruction divine Flame, and was only three feet away from Zhang Ruochen’s head.
“Change Heaven and Earth, Space Distortion.”
A long whistle came out of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth as he clasped his hands into the void, and instantly, spatial power surged outwards, and the two spatial structures, the tip and the hilt of the giant sword, were altered.
The tip of the sword that was originally chopping towards Zhang Ruochen was turned into the hilt.
Even though it was a zither, it could not be separated from space.
Zhang Ruochen’s hands clasped the sword hilt in vain, and using spatial power, he controlled the Sonic Giant Sword, swinging and chopping out, drawing a circle. Yearning Cold, Mystic Shadow, and Gai Tianjiao were all in the middle of the sword circle and were attacked.
“Boom.”
The ancient zither in Age Cold’s hand and the staff in Mystic Shadow’s hand broke at the same time, and in the next moment, including Gai Tianjiao, all three of them simultaneously spat out blood and flew backwards, their bodies chopped in two.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t much better than them, and was heavily injured, however, the killing intent in his eyes didn’t diminish in the slightest, but instead became even more exuberant.
“Amitabha Buddha.”Monk Lidi recited a Buddhist chant.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t even look at him as he waved his arm and a spatial rift flew out.
Monk Standing Ground’s figure shifted, moving sideways in another direction to avoid the spatial rift, and once again advised, “Why do you need to do it when you know you can’t?”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were like two demonic lamps, scarlet as blood, as he cupped his hands into a claw shape and pounced on the Standing Ground Monk while pressing towards the void.
The entire space was emitting crackling sounds, cracking out hundreds of ripples.
All the spatial cracks, spreading out in front of the Standing Earth Monk’s body, wrapped him in the centre, to devour him.
The Standing Earth Monk closed his eyes, folded his hands together, and tens of thousands of ancient and mysterious Brahmans appeared on his body, each of which contained a supreme great Dao, emitting ten thousand feet of Buddhist light.
In his mouth, four words were recited, “The Buddha Dharma is boundless.”
In an instant, the heavens and earth became incomparably peaceful, and the spatial cracks stopped spreading towards him. The strands of Buddha light emanating from his body surged into the spatial cracks, actually filling them up, causing the space to return to being flat again.
At the same time, behind the Standing Ground Monk, a gigantic Buddha’s shadow emerged, emitting a majestic and divine aura. He struck out a Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, suppressing Zhang Ruochen.
A Buddha’s light also emerged from Zhang Ruochen’s brow Qi Sea, illuminating the heaven and earth. His hands lifted up, the dragon shadow in one hand and the elephant shadow in the other, as if he was transformed into an Ancient Divine Elephant and an Abyssal Demon Dragon, and both palms blasted over.
Both were Dragon Elephant Prajna Palms.
One possessed the golden body of a Buddha Emperor, and the other possessed a Buddha Emperor’s relic.
“Barbarian Elephant Chasing the Earth.”
“Flying in the sky.”
“The dragon elephant returns to the sky.”
“The dragon shape resembles a shadow.”
……
“Dragon Elephant Divine Furnace.”
“Dragon Swimming to the Nine Heavens.”
Both of them were hard hitting each other, using the same moves. The Standing Ground Monk possessed the Golden Body of the Buddha Emperor, which was known as the Vajra Unbreakable. Zhang Ruochen possessed the Innate Five Elements Chaotic Body, known as the strongest physique.
Each collision was like two adamantine iron mountains crashing into each other, and the sound that erupted seemed to shatter one’s heart.
Zhang Ruochen’s injuries further deteriorated, even with the Innate Five Elements Chaotic Body there was something that couldn’t hold up, many cracks appeared all over his body, like ceramics that would turn into pieces at any time.
Right at this moment, between one of the cracks on the body, Pure Destruction Divine Flame actually emerged.
In the ensuing exchange, every time the two of them clashed, the hands of the Standing Earth Monk would be burnt crimson red, and wisps of blue smoke would emerge. If the confrontation continued like this, the Buddha Emperor Golden Body might even be destroyed by the Pure Destruction divine Flame.
Once destroyed, the Buddha Emperor Golden Body would no longer be Vajra Unbreakable.
Earlier, the Standing Earth Monk was using his own power to fight, and the Buddha Emperor Golden Body was just a repellent shell, an indestructible skin. Now, the Standing Earth Monk wanted to borrow the power of the Buddha Emperor Golden Body to suppress Zhang Ruochen.
In other words, Monk Lidi was trying to use the power of the Buddha Emperor.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
Monk Lidi’s arms unfolded and flew up off the ground, and every Sanskrit text on his body transformed into a Buddhist shadow that flew out from his body and hovered between heaven and earth.
The piece of heaven and earth outside the palace gate was as if it was transformed into a land of ten thousand Buddhas, resounding with a vast chanting sound.
The Standing Monk stretched out a palm and slowly pressed it down towards Zhang Ruochen, while at the same time, the thousands of Buddha shadows suspended between heaven and earth also simultaneously made a hand seal.
Zhang Ruochen wore his long hair, and in the sea of qi at the centre of his eyebrows, it was as if a tsunami was occurring, as the holy qi surged violently, and in the next moment, the power of the Qiankun Realm gushed out.
“Die-”
Zhang Ruochen hissed as he pressed his palms towards the sky.
“Boom boom.”
The Buddha shadows that filled the sky were like bubbles, all of them collapsed and turned into wisps of Buddha Qi. The Standing Monk also spat out blood from his mouth and threw himself away, hitting the top of the wall of the city and directly piercing through the wall.
Zhang Ruochen walked towards the palace gate step by step, his body covered in blood and flesh, and in front of him, only a silhouette of Huang Yichen remained.
Huang Yichen’s eyes were a little red as he held the Mixed Sword, pointing at Zhang Ruochen’s heart, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, don’t go any further forward, once you step through the palace gates, the Empress will definitely kill you.”
“If I continue to walk forwards, will you kill me?”Zhang Ruochen stopped his steps.
His heart was against the position of the tip of the Mixed Yuan Sword.
Huang Yichen’s hand trembled a little as he said, “No…… don’t force me.”
“When you pointed the sword at my heart, have you ever thought about how much my heart hurts ……”
Zhang Ruochen’s words, before he could finish, there was a huge palm force that struck his back, causing his body to lurch forward.
Prick-la.
It was as if Zhang Ruochen could hear the sound of a sword blade piercing through his heart.
At Zhang Ruochen’s back, the person who had struck that palm was none other than Ouyang Huan, who had never made a move.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s body being penetrated by the Hybrid Sword, Huang Yichen was obviously startled as well, her pair of almond eyes wide, not expecting Ouyang Huan to strike at this time.
She was about to go forward to assist Zhang Ruochen, however, an incomparably strong force erupted from within Zhang Ruochen’s body, transforming into ripples of energy that shook both her and Ouyang Huan out.
That was the Xuan Huang Qi.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen stepped into the Xuan Huang Realm.
Zhang Ruochen stood alone under the palace gate, looked at the sword stuck in his heart, smiled miserably, and stared over to Huang Yichen who had fallen in the distance.
He reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, pulling the Hybrid Sword out of his heart as a fountain of blood gushed out along his chest, spilling over the palace gate.
Zhang Ruochen roared in anger as he swung his sword out with a piercing sound, severing a section of his robe, saying, “From now on, the enmity is severed, you are no longer my wife.”
Zhang Ruochen threw the Hybrid Sword out, his eyes became a little darker, all his spiritual energy dissipated in general, no longer moving forward, turning around and heading in a direction far away from the Imperial City, only leaving behind a lonely, desolate back, with a series of blood-red footprints.
“Wow.”
The Hybrid Sword crashed to the ground, landing right in front of Huang Yichen’s body.
……
