CHAPTER 299: CHAPTER 299, THE TRAGEDY OF BLACK BLOOD

"Hahaha, Ancient Sword Peak, it’s been over a decade since we last sparred. Today, let’s see if you’ve made any progress."

As the dazzling portal gradually disappeared, Po Wu laughed wildly. His body instantly flew out from mid-air, stopping in front of Ancient Sword Peak, his aura bearing down on him.

Po Wu’s cultivation was at the Third Layer of the Realm of Transcendence, and his aura was as vast as an abyss. However, when it landed on Ancient Sword Peak, it was like a feather falling, leaving no trace.

"I’ve been waiting for this!"

Ancient Sword Peak touched his storage ring, and a silver longsword instantly appeared in his hand. His entire demeanor underwent a drastic change. Simultaneously, he leaned backward, his left hand tearing through space, reappearing a thousand miles away.

Whoosh!

Po Wu’s weapon was a demon saber, emanating rolling demonic qi. The space merely touched by it was instantly corroded, turning into void. Battle intent surged in Po Wu’s eyes as he gripped the saber with both hands and slashed forward. The astonishing saber light was like the brilliance of world destruction, tearing through the void.

Splurt!

Ancient Sword Peak’s expression remained indifferent as he swung his sword lightly. Instantly, a gray light-shot out from his sword, transforming the surrounding void into a self-contained realm filled with destruction.

Pop!

Within a short moment, Po Wu’s saber aura was severed by Ancient Sword Peak’s gray sword aura. Countless fragments of the saber’s powerful qi shot in all directions, flattening a small mountain below them. Those demon beasts unable to escape were mercilessly slain, blood flowing freely.

Po Wu’s pupils contracted. Though Ancient Sword Peak was currently at the invincible level of the Guiyuan Realm, the pressure he exerted was greater than a decade ago.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, as expected of the Sword Demon of the Celestial Realm. To possess such might while still in the Guiyuan Realm, I can’t imagine what will happen once he breaks through to the Realm of Transcendence."

Black Blood Immortal glanced at Ritan Fireman, speaking with clear intent. His words were subconsciously filled with a sense of persuasion.

There were only five of them currently present, and they weren’t on friendly terms. If one of them could hold back Master Wan Shui, the remaining two could very likely kill Ancient Sword Peak here.

"Hmph!"

Ritan Fireman wasn’t fooled by Black Blood Immortal’s words. He snorted coldly, transforming into a human shape, striding towards Master Wan Shui. In one step, he arrived before Master Wan Shui, sweeping his fist across. The terrifying fist intent shattered the entire space, red light tearing through the void.

"Ritan Fireman, what do you mean by this?!"

Master Wan Shui was infuriated. He never expected Ritan Fireman to strike directly. Nonetheless, he reacted swiftly, waving his arm lightly to summon countless glaciers from the sky, forming a kingdom of ice that charged towards Ritan Fireman.

In the void, blue and red strands of powerful qi occupied half the sky. As flame and ice clashed, countless whirlpools spread in all directions.

"Heh, heh, heh!"

Black Blood Immortal chuckled coldly, flashing towards the battlefield of Po Wu and Ancient Sword Peak. At some point, a black pearl had appeared in his hand, spinning and emitting a chilling aura.

Clang!

In mid-air, Ancient Sword Peak’s sword sent Po Wu flying. He noticed Black Blood Immortal approaching, his eyes flickering with a cold gleam. Instantly, he tore through space and reappeared beside Black Blood Immortal.

Whoosh!

"Slaughter Wound!"

Ancient Sword Peak’s silver sword trembled, and a red secret technique descended from his sword. Though he wasn’t at the Realm of Transcendence, his comprehension of intent was in no way inferior to those who were.

The red secret technique was filled with sorrow, anger, and melancholy, making one feel as if they were personally experiencing it. Everything around was engulfed by these emotions.

"Black Blood Over the Heavens!"

Black Blood Immortal’s eyes twitched. Ancient Sword Peak’s sword gave him an unavoidable sensation, as though everything in the world was encompassed within it.

The black pearl in his hand flew out, transforming into a black sea of blood in front of him. Blood qi pervaded the air, with waves crashing against the void, constantly shattering.

Crack!

But under the might of Ancient Sword Peak’s sword, everything quickly dissolved. The sea of blood evaporated. Black Blood Immortal’s face stiffened, and he retreated, tearing through space to reappear a thousand meters away.

"How could he be so strong?!"

Black Blood Immortal stared at Ancient Sword Peak with lingering fear in his eyes, a trace of terror evident. Ancient Sword Peak gave him an unbeatable sensation.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Po Wu responded, charging once more towards Ancient Sword Peak while secretly transmitting a message to Black Blood Immortal.

A terrifying saber aura tore through space. The saber blade emitted multicolored light, splitting the entire sky into two. Black Blood Immortal’s eyes darkened as he struck again. The black pearl in his hand became immensely heavy, crashing towards Ancient Sword Peak, increasing the surrounding gravity thousandfold.

"Sword River!"

Ancient Sword Peak’s body sank, stretching his arms wide. Countless sharp, fierce auras flew through the air. In the blink of an eye, countless terrifying sword lights rose behind Ancient Sword Peak. In that moment, he resembled the Sword Master.

This was a river of swords—a river of sword dao, a river of sword light, awe-inspiring throughout eternity!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Splurt! Splurt! Splurt...

Blades of sword light surged towards Black Blood Immortal and Po Wu, instantly obliterating everything around. The saber aura shattered, the black pearl broke apart, and two shadows tore through space to retreat. Ancient Sword Peak pointed his finger, causing half of Black Blood Immortal’s body to explode. Eyes wide open, Black Blood Immortal stared at Ancient Sword Peak, filled with unwillingness.

Po Wu, being stronger than Black Blood Immortal, had already fled a thousand miles away the moment Ancient Sword Peak killed Black Blood Immortal.

Such a commotion immediately alerted Master Wan Shui and Ritan Fireman. Their fight stopped abruptly as they stared blankly at Ancient Sword Peak in the sky.

Among the three, Black Blood Immortal wasn’t weak. Ritan Fireman didn’t believe he could surpass Black Blood Immortal in strength. Yet, this formidable opponent had been killed by Ancient Sword Peak within a few moves, without any suspense, causing terror to the point of disbelief. This was far beyond his tolerance.

Rip!

Without any hesitation, Ritan Fireman, terrified that Ancient Sword Peak might kill him, tore through space and fled instantly.

Whoosh!

Master Wan Shui flew to Ancient Sword Peak’s side, her eyes flashing with complex emotions. She had been a genius in her youth, able to dominate her peers. But compared to the current Ancient Sword Peak, she wondered if her century-long life had been lived in vain.
