518: Chapter 163: A Battle That Shocks the World!

The Ten Thousand Ghost Sword burst forth in the void, emitting a cold and chilling light.

On the sword, Ji Wu’s body was pierced and nailed to the Ten Thousand Ghost Sword.

He was covered in blood, his body twisting and struggling on the Ten Thousand Ghost Sword, his expression extremely fierce and warped.

But no matter how he tried, he couldn’t escape the grasp of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sword.

It seemed as though the sword had an immense suction force, anchoring his body to it.

Through Ji Wu’s agonizing and fierce expression, it could be deduced that the Ten Thousand Ghost Sword was brutally tormenting Ji Wu, as if it had specifically penetrated the defenses of the Holy Artifact.

This scene shocked all the genius Cultivators.

Although they had already been quite astonished before, because genius Cultivators more or less all had trump cards, they still harbored a hidden pride deep within.

But now, once they realized that those so-called defensive trump cards were ineffective against this form of Sword Dao, it sent a chilling fear through nearly all the genius Cultivators, trembling their very souls.

That stroke of the sword, seemingly plain and unadorned—even with the sinister and dreadful aura of the wailing ghosts—it did not cause a Great Dao Resonance, nor was there a multicolored light to prove its extraordinary nature.

Yet in the final moment, that stroke made the mountains and rivers lose their luster, and the sun and the moon darken.

Just one stroke was enough to pierce through the body of Ji Wu, who had unlocked the Ninth Layered Profound Restriction, a formidably powerful figure.

If it weren’t for his unusually strong body, that one stroke would have been enough to completely kill him!

“Awoo—”

Ji Wu, tormented like a ghost, suddenly roared like a fierce beast, his voice piercing, chilling to the bone.

He roared furiously, as the Blood Qi within his body went berserk.

His eyes once again turned blood red, and he fell into a state of complete fury.

“Roar—”

He roared again, the energy within his body growing more and more powerful and frenzied, resembling the abnormal evolution of a fierce beast.

“Pff—”

The Ten Thousand Ghost Sword, gnawing at the soul like ghosts, was viciously pulled from his chest, tearing out chunks of flesh and viscera.

Blood sprayed hundreds of meters, the Ten Thousand Ghost Sword was now grasped in Ji Wu’s hand, yet it was suddenly devoured by the Thunder-controlling Divine Flames Ba Huang Sword.

The purple-black Thunder-controlling Divine Flames Ba Huang Sword, as if heated red-hot, became vividly crimson and exuded a terrifying aura.

Ji Wu’s aura turned violent.

He seemed to have lost his will, transforming into a brutally savage killing beast.

“Die!”

He roared.

The Thunder-controlling Divine Flames Ba Huang Sword suddenly broke out with Saint Power, and with this stroke, it was as if a Saint was taking action.

His crazed eyes, however, were as cold as a star, and his sword stroke surpassed the limits of realm and strength, no longer restraining his combat power.

That one stroke, plain and unadorned, had no Great Dao Resonance nor chants, but that stroke was nearly Immortal.

With one sweep, between heaven and earth, there was only that one sword.

All things under the heavens, like mere ants.

This was the Life and Death in All Creation Sword Dao, the Sword Dao of the Evil King, now unleashed by Ji Wu, a sight that even shook Zhou Yan.

He felt an extremely dangerous sensation in his heart.

Instantly, like a Ghost Shadow, he derived the Netherworld Heaven Bridge Technique and dodged from where he stood.

But the sword stroke, from its execution to its explosion, was incredibly fast, so fast that it was near impossible to sense in time.

“Pff—”

That one stroke ruptured Zhou Yan’s body.

Zhou Yan was unable to dodge in time, and the Netherworld Heaven Bridge Technique was suppressed in an instant.

Blood and bone fragments sprayed out, and half of Zhou Yan’s arm was severed by a single stroke, shattered into dust.

The strong and invincible Zhou Yan, in that instant, was nearly killed.

This scene once again brought about a deadly silence across the four fields.

All the genius Cultivators were mute with shock, stunned by Ji Wu’s terrifying moves.

Ji Wu’s stroke possessed the power to slaughter a Saint, yet still, it did not kill Zhou Yan!

As Ji Wu’s sword stroke landed, his eyes flickered with unending regret, but he grew even more crazed!

Then, a myriad of swords burst forth all at once.

Although they were not as terrifying as that one stroke, the multitude of swords, like a torrential downpour, could each slaughter a practitioner of the Nine Changes of Sword Void.

Zhou Yan’s expression was solemn.

Ji Wu’s Sword Dao wasn’t especially terrifying, but what was frightening was his knowledge of the Evil King’s signature techniques.

Zhou Yan suspected that the Evil King and the Saint behind Ji Wu had joined forces, concocting an unknown conspiracy.

As Zhou Yan reflected on this, his spirit didn’t relax in the slightest.

Invoking the Undying Rebirth Technique, his severed arm reappeared, and at the same time, he fiercely unleashed the Life and Death Sword Dao.

The Life and Death Sword Intent immediately affected Ji Wu.

Ji Wu fell into the agony of life and death torture, although it lasted for just an instant.

But in that instant, it was destined for Zhou Yan to launch a series of powerful attacks.

Xingyi Swordsmanship.

Ten Thousand Ghost Sword Dao.

Thunder God Fire Sword Dao.

The mysteries of the three great Sword Daos combined together in Zhou Yan’s single stroke.

Accompanied by the powerful Soul Shock, strong defensive penetration, and overwhelming bodily binding and numbing abilities.

With this move executed, the heavens and the earth seemed to break apart, everything else paled in comparison.

This sword stroke, like a beam of black light, similarly manifested an immortal will.

“Swoosh—”

The sword light streaked across the sky dome like a peerless meteor.

“Thud—”

Ji Wu’s body was immediately turned into a mist of blood, permeating through the Holy Level combat armor.

Even through such armor, Zhou Yan was able to turn Ji Wu’s body into a blood mist, which was equally heart-shaking in its power.

Even armor as strong as that of the Holy Level appeared utterly incapable of keeping Ji Wu from dying.

Ji Wu’s physical body, which was as formidable as any, crumbled like a clay pot under Zhou Yan’s single sword strike.

Ji Wu, blood streaming all over him, with half of his body turned to blood mist and blood mud, was similarly remarkable.

In the instant his body broke apart, he immediately swallowed an enigmatic Golden Pill, his body then seemed to be covered in golden light, and in a flash, he appeared as vibrant as a lively dragon, causing all the geniuses to gasp in astonishment.

Such depth was incomparable.

Being the child of the Double Saints, consuming Saint Level Elixirs as effortlessly as if they were beans, not even furrowing his eyebrows, was something others simply couldn’t compare to.

Zhou Yan remained calm, it was only at this point in the killing that he realized Ji Wu’s tricks seemed to be exhausted.

The appearance of madness, as if he had lost his senses and even fallen into disadvantage, was all an act.

This man was extremely cunning, adept at using his wits and own disheveled state to deceive the enemy.

Such a tactic, willingly putting oneself in a ‘point of no return’ to strike a ferocious blow at the adversary, was terrifyingly dangerous.

Previously, had he not been always cautious, he might have been slain by that sword strike in a moment of carelessness!

That sword strike, once it hit the soul, would have immediately shattered it, leaving no chance for revival had his body turned into blood mud.

…

After Ji Wu recovered, he casually threw out two streaks of golden light, which seemed to be fragments of useless elixirs.

But after those two streaks of golden light flew out, they didn’t fall to the ground; they suddenly burst forth with two beams of light.

The two beams of light immediately locked onto Zhou Yan and shot out at a speed that was on par with the combat power of the Saint Level.

Zhou Yan was on guard, and as he practiced the Netherworld Heaven Bridge Technique, his body seemed to shatter as he vanished, reappearing next to Ji Wu in the next moment, his fist slamming fiercely toward Ji Wu’s head.

The blistering and intense Fist Intent transformed into the refined spirit power of Xingyi Swordsmanship.

“Hum—”

The two lines of destructive light twisted the void, piercing through it and advancing to strike again, as if following Zhou Yan wherever he hid.

“Bang—”

Ji Wu once again deployed the Slaughter Extreme, clashing against Zhou Yan’s Fist Intent.

But upon contact, Ji Wu’s Slaughter Extreme immediately collapsed, and his Asking Dao Ba Huang Sword was even sent flying by the punch.

Ji Wu’s body vibrated violently as he was sent flying back, crashing hard against the ripples of the Saint Protector Array and bouncing back, stumbling almost to the point of falling.

Zhou Yan’s body twisted, counterattacking with the Five Elements Life and Death Sword of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sword Dao.

This swordsmanship had significant advantages in dealing with destruction.

Zhou Yan struck with his sword, unleashing twelve times his combat strength, his Blood Qi shocking heaven and earth.

With a single sword strike, he confronted the two lines of slaughter light, and was about to destroy them both.

But, just as he touched the light beams, Zhou Yan felt a chill in his heart.

Without thinking, his figure twisted, and he dodged away once more.

The beams, upon contacting the aura of the Five Elements Life and Death Sword, didn’t resist but instead exploded.

The fearsome blast force surged towards where Zhou Yan was just a moment ago.

“Spurt—”

Like the process of a dragon sucking water reversed, the column of destruction burst out, directly tearing through the space within the Saint Protector Array.

The pitch-black chaotic streams viciously entered the ancient array, were pushed back by the guardian power of the Saint Ancient Array, and the space restored itself, but the four fields were once again deathly silent.

This battle was thrilling, exciting, insane, hysterical, and utterly heart-stopping.

Ji Wu’s complexion fluctuated uncertainly until he finally sighed as if he had run out of options.

But no one was deceived by his expression anymore because it changed too quickly, and he was too good at deceiving others with his expressions, allowing himself to seize the opportunity for a lethal blow.

“If you have any more tricks, use them all, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance if you wait any longer.”

Ji Wu said.

His expression no longer fierce, no longer mad.

The bloody hue in his eyes vanished.

All pretense up until this point, he knew, was completely useless.

Zhou Yan’s expression was calm and indifferent, and he suddenly said, “Fine!”

Zhou Yan didn’t hold back, releasing the Thunder God Fire Sword Dao that burst forth with dazzling Thunder Light, branding it onto Ji Wu.

At the same time, Zhou Yan’s Xingyi Swordsmanship also unveiled a brilliant Guanghua, like an Emperor Qi momentum, suppressing Ji Wu.

Then, Soul Destruction, Duan Chou, Lonely, Life and Death, An Ran, and other Sword Intents, all flared out like various obsessions and negative emotions suddenly exploding, impacting Ji Wu and nearly all other geniuses present.

All these cultivation techniques were executed almost simultaneously in an instant—the greatest advantage and ability of the Dual Sword Body.

As expected, Ji Wu fell into the trap, seemingly with no power to resist.
