He fled!
The Defiant’s move completely dumbfounded Ye Xuan!
He just ran away?
Ye Xuan looked at the leading man in white, who was also watching him. “Not running?”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Run? In my life, I’ve never known what running is!”
The man in white nodded slightly. “Just now, he was just as defiant as you!”
As his words fell, the black-robed man beside him suddenly charged forward. In an instant, he was before Ye Xuan, and the next moment, he drew his sabre and slashed down.
A streak of sabre light bore down!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, his thumb flicking lightly, and the sword in its sheath shot out!
He didn’t use the Qingxuan Sword!
As the sword left its sheath, an overwhelmingly terrifying aura surged upward, causing the entire starry sky to boil!
However, as the sabre struck, Ye Xuan’s aura and sword intent were shattered with a single blow!
*Boom!*
The sword light broke, and Ye Xuan was forced back tens of thousands of feet!
When Ye Xuan stopped, he was utterly stunned!
The opponent had actually broken his aura?
In the distance, the black-robed man suddenly gripped his long sabre with both hands. The next moment, he took a step forward, raised the sabre with both hands, and slashed down fiercely!
As the sabre descended, a sabre aura stretching tens of thousands of feet crashed down from above Ye Xuan’s head!
The moment it fell, it carried a thunderous momentum, as if it could shatter the entire starry sky—utterly terrifying!
The aura contained within was stronger than Ye Xuan’s own aura and sword intent!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, a trace of gravity appearing in his gaze!
Without hesitation, his thumb flicked again, and a sword shot out, followed by another!
But as Ye Xuan unleashed his second sword, the man in the distance slashed again!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched, and he sent out another sword. The man countered with another sabre strike…
In that instant, they exchanged eight swords and eight sabre strikes!
*Boom!*
Suddenly, a burst of sword light and sabre light shattered in the starry river, and the entire river began to collapse!
The starry river couldn’t withstand their power!
As the two immense forces erupted, Ye Xuan and the black-robed man were both forced back, retreating tens of thousands of feet!
When they stopped, the starry sky within hundreds of thousands of miles had turned pitch black!
After stopping, Ye Xuan’s eyes held a trace of gravity, but more than that, excitement!
Combat ignited his passion!
At that moment, the black-robed man slowly raised his long sabre with his right hand.
*Boom!*
Above his head, a black vortex suddenly appeared. The next moment, a divine thunderbolt shot down from the vortex, merging into his sabre.
*Boom!*
The sabre trembled violently, and in an instant, it was enveloped by the divine thunder, transforming into a thunder sabre!
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. His left thumb rested on the sword hilt, and he slowly closed his eyes. At that moment, everything around him fell silent, as if he were the only one left in the universe!
Stillness!
The sword in Ye Xuan’s hand began to tremble slightly, emitting a series of sword hums!
Seeing this, the leading man in white frowned slightly.
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his thumb flicking lightly.
*Buzz!*
A sword hum shot into the sky, and at the same time, a sword flashed through the pitch-black starry sky!
Opposite Ye Xuan, the black-robed man’s eyes narrowed. He raised his sabre with both hands and brought it down fiercely!
*Swish!*
A sabre aura laced with lightning slashed straight down from above the black-robed man’s head!
A clash of sabre and sword!
*Boom!*
The lightning sabre aura struck Ye Xuan’s sword, instantly enveloping it in a burst of lightning. But the next moment, the lightning was torn apart, and the sword drove straight toward the black-robed man!
A flicker of shock flashed in the black-robed man’s eyes. He raised his sabre to block.
*Boom!*
The black-robed man was sent flying tens of thousands of feet by the sword!
The moment he stopped, another flying sword slashed toward him.
A trace of ferocity flashed in the black-robed man’s eyes. He swung his right hand fiercely, bringing the sabre down.
*Boom!*
A burst of sword light erupted before him, and he was forced back again. Almost simultaneously, another sword struck!
The black-robed man’s eyes narrowed, the corner of his mouth twitching. He held the sabre vertically before him with both hands.
*Boom!*
The sabre trembled violently, the powerful force pushing him back again. But it wasn’t over, as yet another flying sword came!
The speed of these flying swords was staggering. The black-robed man couldn’t counterattack and could only defend passively. Even if he managed to swing his sabre, it was a simple strike—he had no time to unleash powerful sabre techniques!
In their earlier clash, he had fallen slightly behind, and Ye Xuan seized that opening, pushing him into a desperate situation!
A single misstep could lead to eternal ruin!
In a short time, the black-robed man had retreated over a hundred thousand feet. Not only that, his body was now covered in dozens of sword marks, blood dyeing him into a crimson figure!
Yet he didn’t dare slacken for a moment, because Ye Xuan’s swords were terrifyingly fast—one moment of carelessness, and a sword could pierce his skull!
Thus, the black-robed man kept retreating, and by now, his sabre was already cracked!
On the other side, the man in white and the woman in purple showed no intention of intervening. They simply watched, their expressions calm!
However, both occasionally glanced at the Qingxuan Sword hanging at Ye Xuan’s waist!
At that moment, the black-robed man’s sabre suddenly shattered. Almost instantly, a sword reached his brow!
At this life-or-death moment, the black-robed man slowly closed his eyes. The next moment, a sabre shot out from between his brows.
*Boom!*
The moment the sabre appeared, Ye Xuan’s sword shattered!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned in the distance. The sabre hadn’t just broken the sword before the black-robed man—it had also shattered the three swords behind it!
Ye Xuan looked at the sabre. It was as thin as a cicada’s wing, almost transparent at first glance!
Ye Xuan frowned. What kind of sabre was this? It looked formidable!
In the distance, the black-robed man stared at Ye Xuan. “You’re strong, forcing me to use my Heart Sabre!”
Ye Xuan was curious. “What’s a Heart Sabre?”
The black-robed man frowned. “You haven’t condensed a Heart Sword?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No!”
A trace of disbelief flashed in the black-robed man’s eyes. “With your strength, how could you not have condensed a Heart Sword?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Can you explain what a Heart Sabre is?”
The black-robed man glanced at Ye Xuan. “A Heart Sabre is a sabre condensed from one’s heart and mind, perfectly suited to oneself, because it’s forged from your own will!”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “The mind can condense into a sabre?”
The black-robed man frowned again. “You didn’t know?”
Ye Xuan laughed. “I don’t have a Heart Sword, but I do have a Sis Sword!”
The black-robed man looked at Ye Xuan. “What’s a Sis Sword?”
Ye Xuan raised the Qingxuan Sword at his waist. “A sword my sister made for me—Sis Sword for short!”
The black-robed man glanced at Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword and said gravely, “Your sword is extraordinary… but it’s still not a Heart Sword…”
At that moment, the man in white suddenly spoke. “Hei Yan, don’t underestimate this sword!”
Hearing the man in white, a trace of surprise flashed in the black-robed man’s eyes. He looked at Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword again, this time with curiosity.
In the distance, Ye Xuan laughed. “Let’s go again!”
With that, he charged forward, appearing before the black-robed man in an instant. A trace of ferocity flashed in the black-robed man’s eyes. With a thought, the Heart Sabre before him shot upward and slashed down fiercely!
*Boom!*
The strike shattered Ye Xuan’s sword, but at that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly drew his sword and slashed.
Drawing the sword to decide life or death!
A divine close-combat technique!
When Ye Xuan drew this sword, it stacked at least tens of thousands of strikes in an instant!
His current strength was far beyond what it used to be—neither his power nor his divine soul could compare to before!
*Boom!*
As Ye Xuan’s sword struck, both he and the black-robed man, Hei Yan, were sent flying tens of thousands of feet. In the moment Ye Xuan retreated, a flying sword suddenly slashed toward Hei Yan. Hei Yan didn’t act, but the Heart Sabre before him swept out horizontally!
*Boom!*
The flying sword shattered, but at that moment, Ye Xuan appeared before Hei Yan again. This time, he didn’t use a flying sword—instead, he unleashed the Square-Inch Sword Domain!
In an instant, a burst of sword light engulfed Hei Yan, countless sword rays tearing and slicing!
In the distance, the man in white frowned slightly, but he still didn’t intervene!
At that moment, Ye Xuan’s sword light suddenly exploded. By then, Ye Xuan had retreated a thousand feet, but as he retreated, a series of flying swords, linked end to end, slashed toward Hei Yan!
Seven Swords in a Chain!
In the distance, the bloodied Hei Yan suddenly roared. The next moment, he gripped the Heart Sabre with both hands, charged forward, and slashed fiercely. “Break Illusion!”
As his voice fell, a black dot appeared at the tip of his Heart Sabre, like black blood, eerie and sinister! With the dot’s appearance, the Heart Sabre trembled violently, and the next moment, an overwhelmingly terrifying force surged from the sabre’s tip!
*Boom!*
The first sword shattered, followed by the second…
In the blink of an eye, all seven swords were destroyed by the strike. Not only that, Ye Xuan was sent flying tens of thousands of feet, and between him and Hei Yan stretched a massive spatial abyss, a hundred feet wide and ten thousand feet long!
This abyss had been carved out by Hei Yan’s strike!
Not only that, but within the abyss, a powerful force continued to shred the surrounding space!
In the distance, Hei Yan held the Heart Sabre in his right hand, his blood boiling wildly. At this moment, the blood seeping from his body was black!
In the distance, Ye Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, “Bloodline power?”
Hei Yan walked slowly toward Ye Xuan, Heart Sabre in hand. “The Bloodline of the Flame God! Sword cultivator, to die before my bloodline power is honour enough for you!”
