CHAPTER 1378: CHAPTER 1378: IS THIS ALL YOU’VE GOT?

"I could cultivate to Martial Saint, having gone through countless ordeals, so even if you possess great strength, I do not fear you. This is nothing more than a small trial on my path forward."

Jiang Yizhan pointed his sword at Vlad III, his gaze fierce.

"You should know, though, sometimes a trial can be so powerful that it could grind you to death," Vlad III said with a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Yizhan shouted, "Then try it!"

Vlad III said nothing more, his body suddenly flew towards Jiang Yizhan, his beautiful hand, like jade, fiercely grasping at Jiang Yizhan’s throat.

Jiang Yizhan fixed his gaze on that hand, his body unmoving, and when that hand was just three inches from him, Jiang Yizhan suddenly shouted.

"Slash!"

A stunning sword light drew an arc in midair, slicing fiercely toward the wrist of that hand, its speed was as swift as a phantom’s.

"Ha!"

Vlad III sneered coldly, his hand changed suddenly in midair, with a twist, he suddenly grasped at the incoming sharp sword.

Clang!

Vlad III seized the Red Immortal Sword, and it emitted a sound like the clashing of metal, the sound reaching the skies.

"Your hand... so hard." Jiang Yizhan’s face showed shock, upon closer inspection, he discovered that Vlad III’s hand was surrounded by a faint Gang Qi. It was very thin, hinting at a dark color, easy to overlook without careful observation.

Jiang Yizhan’s internal shock grew even stronger; with such faint Gang Qi wrapped around his hand, he could withstand the sharpness of his Red Flame Sword. How pure was Vlad III’s Gang Qi?

However...

"Grasping my sword is the most foolish decision of your life," Jiang Yizhan’s eyes suddenly reflected a fierce look.

"Red Flame Raging to the Sky!"

Boom~~~

On the Red Flame Immortal Sword, a flame of Gang Qi suddenly blazed fiercely. Jiang Yizhan’s mind moved, causing the Red Flame Sword to vibrate violently, exuding a terrifying sharp aura.

This fiercely burning Gang Qi flame merged with that terrifying sharp force, creating unimaginable attack power that sliced towards Vlad III’s pale hand!

This slash, even if confronted with Jin Shan and an iron sea, could break through, let alone a pair of fleshly hands.

"Calling you naive was on point," Vlad III sneered, "Do you think my proudest weapon would be harmed by your rundown iron sword?"

While speaking, Vlad III’s gaze suddenly turned cold, exerting force with a grab, a crunching sound followed, and the Red Flame Sword, bursting with terrifying aura, suddenly revealed a crack.

"This... this is impossible," Jiang Yizhan exclaimed.

"Haha, I’ve heard those words countless times before, I’m tired of them by now," Vlad III exerted force fiercely.

Crunch.

Crunch crunch crunch.

The cracks on the Red Flame Sword multiplied rapidly, eventually resembling a spider’s web.

Jiang Yizhan was aghast, desperately trying to draw the Red Flame Sword back, but Vlad III’s hand was extraordinarily powerful, the Red Flame Sword seemed pinned under a mountain, completely motionless.

Finally, under Jiang Yizhan’s desperate gaze, Vlad III’s lips curled into a cold smile as he unleashed his power.

And then~~

Bang!

The Red Flame Sword shattered.

Jiang Yizhan cried out in agony, his body recoiled, trembling uncontrollably.

This Red Flame Sword had been with him for decades, his best ally, enabling him to earn the title of Red Flame Sword Immortal, thanks to the sharpness of this sword, and now...

The sword was broken.

Jiang Yizhan was immensely pained, suffering as if losing a loved one.

"You... you..."

Jiang Yizhan suddenly lifted his head, his eyes filled with blood-red craziness, "Vlad III, you will pay for what you’ve done!"

"I’m eager to see that," Vlad III’s eyes showed a playful look, "If you have the ability to make me pay, I’m willing to oblige with whatever you demand."

"However..." Vlad III’s gaze turned cold.

"If you lack the ability, speaking such grand words before me will cost you dearly."

"Hmph!" Jiang Yizhan snorted coldly, "Though the Red Flame Sword is broken, we Martial Saints have long ceased relying on tangible weapons. With Gang Qi at hand, all shall be shattered! Thus, though the sword breaks, the soul remains!"

Bang!

With this sound, Jiang Yizhan extended his hand, red Gang Qi surged toward his palm, and in an instant, a Red Flame Sword identical to the one before appeared again.

Only this time, it was composed entirely of Gang Qi!

"Vlad III," Jiang Yizhan said coldly, "See if you can withstand my fury!"

Bang!

A storm of Sword Qi erupted from Jiang Yizhan, surging skyward.

At this moment, Jiang Yizhan transformed as if into a Sword Demon.

With a great shout, Jiang Yizhan wielded the Gang Qi Red Flame Sword, suddenly rushing towards Vlad III, hissing, streams of Sword Qi shot out from the sword, filling the space, sealing Vlad III’s surroundings entirely.

In an instant, countless Sword Qi targeted Vlad III, the sword light unbearably sharp as if it could cut through metal.

"Slash!"

With a cry, the Sword Qi suspended in midair shook and then suddenly descended, not towards Vlad III, but towards Jiang Yizhan, towards the Gang Qi Red Flame Sword in his hand.

Bang!

Countless Sword Qi merged into the Red Flame Sword, and in an instant, the sword expanded abruptly to thirty feet, transforming into a towering giant sword!

At this moment, the instant it formed, the towering giant sword descended as if to split the sky, heading straight for Vlad III’s head.

"Hiss..."

Whether vampires or Fan Pingyuan and others, witnessing this scene gasped. The power of this sword seemed to shake the heavens, it was truly terrifying.

Even though Vlad III was stronger than Jiang Yizhan, under such a shocking sword strike, without escaping, he’d surely be severely injured.

"Is this your trick?"

However, just then, Vlad III’s cold, indifferent voice with no emotion echoed between heaven and earth.

Everyone couldn’t help but focus intensely on the center.

"If that’s all. Then you..."

Vlad III looked up at the towering red giant sword, a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, "Too weak."
