Are you kidding me.

The Earth Sword is already terrifying enough.

If Su Chen were to use the Heavenly Sword.

Wouldn't we be doomed?

The Heavenly Sword, just by its name, you know it's undoubtedly more advanced than the Earth Sword.

The power of the Earth Sword is already terrifying.

Almost causing his downfall.

Although the Shura King is quite arrogant.

He's not stupid.

If he doesn't run now, then when?

"Quick, chase him! Stop him, don't let him escape!"

"Why didn't you stop him!"

"..."

No matter how the Guardians shouted at Su Chen.

Su Chen simply maintained his posture with the sword, motionless.

The Shura King fled at an incredible speed.

In just a few breaths, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing the Shura King escape.

The Guardians all started shouting at Su Chen.

Only Cang Lang noticed something was wrong with Su Chen's expression.

With a stern expression, he shouted at the Guardians, "Shut up."

Everyone looked at Cang Lang in confusion.

In their eyes.

Since Su Chen had obtained the ancestral swordsmanship.

He had the duty to resolve the issue with the Shura King for them.

However, at that moment.

Su Chen's body suddenly fell towards the ground.

The Earth Sword had drained all his strength.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone's voices abruptly stopped.

It turned out, it wasn't that Su Chen didn't want to leave the Shura King behind.

Rather, Su Chen was already at the end of his rope.

Just moments ago, when he called out the Heavenly Sword.

Actually, he was merely bluffing.

Of course, maybe he could have fired the Heavenly Sword.

After all, the Martial God had mentioned.

When using the Heavenly Sword, it doesn't require consuming his own Inner Strength.

But if he were to summon the Heavenly Sword and still not kill the Shura King.

Then, after collapsing, the Shura King would undoubtedly begin a massacre.

Even though the Shura King was just suppressed by the Martial God.

Almost even killed by the Martial God.

In reality, the damage inflicted on the Shura King wasn't significant.

After all, the Shura possesses the Shura Undying Body.

And as the King among Shuras.

His physical body is extremely powerful.

The injuries inflicted by the Martial God were all on his physical body.

They didn't have much impact on him.

That's why Su Chen didn't summon the Heavenly Sword.

This way, not only did he scare off the Shura King.

But he also preserved the Spiritual Sense of the Heavenly Sword Spirit.

Before acquiring the Defeating Heaven Sword Technique.

If there was an opportunity to kill the Shura King.

Even if it was a mere sliver of a chance.

Su Chen would attempt it.

Because the gap between him and the Shura King is simply too vast.

The chance for him to kill the Shura King is infinitesimally close to zero.

But now things are different.

He acquired the Defeating Heaven Sword Technique.

With time, and as he grows stronger, he might even awaken the Heavenly Sword Spirit.

The probability of him defeating the Shura King.

Will become incredibly high.

If he can defeat the Shura King once, he can defeat the Shura King twice.

So, he's not in a rush.

After seeing the Shura King disappear.

Su Chen couldn't hold on any longer.

He fell.

A few hours later.

"Sword One Clan Leader, how is he?" Ban Cun asked Sword One.

At this time, Su Chen lay on the bed, his eyes closed.

Sword One's expression was grave.

He said, "I just checked, he's suffered multiple injuries to his meridians, and has sustained severe internal injuries; the chances of survival are very low..."

"What?" Ban Cun frowned upon hearing this.

Indeed, just now during Su Chen's battle with the Shura King.

He had repeatedly used the Defeating Heaven Sword Technique.

When leaving the Earth Tablet.

The Martial God had already told him.

Though the Sword Spirit's remaining power allowed him to use the Defeating Heaven Sword Technique multiple times.

However, his body was too weak.

Unable to withstand the backlash the Defeating Heaven Sword Technique caused.

Moreover, when Su Chen used the Moon Slash Sword Technique and summoned the Martial God, he also activated the Burning Secret Technique.

Double damage stacked.

Subjecting his body to incredibly severe trauma.

It's already a miracle that he's not dead yet.

Cang Lang looked at Su Chen.

Staring at that young face.

A mixture of emotions stirred within her heart.

Ever since she cultivated the Fighting Sword Technique to the tenth level.

She traveled the world.

Encountering numerous powerful individuals.

However, those powerful figures, before her Fighting Sword Technique, were utterly vulnerable.

She also met many outstanding men.

Yet no matter how outstanding a man may be.

They couldn't stir even the slightest wave in her heart.

Because those so-called outstanding men.

At best, they possessed wealth comparable to that of a nation.

Or wielded power that could sway governments.

For her, these were like passing clouds.

Only truly powerful men.

Could possibly move her heart.

She also tried to make herself accept some ordinary men.

Like, the man she encountered last time, who was akin to a puppy.

Initially, getting along was quite pleasant.

She worked hard to conceal her strength.

Making herself appear, to others, like a gentle and soft woman.

Their relationship progressed smoothly.

But a group of small thugs tore apart all her disguises.

She would never forget the expression on that puppy when he saw her effortlessly dispatching those thugs.

That fear, dread, and unfamiliar expression.

Since then, Cang Lang realized.

She just isn't suited for romance.

Pretending to be demure was quite exhausting too.

As time passed.

Cang Lang had already given up hope on love.

Until Su Chen appeared.

Until Su Chen said he could repair her broken meridians.

Later, to let Su Chen connect with her heart smoothly.

Cang Lang even proactively gave a kiss.

She was thirty this year, soon to be thirty-one.

While Su Chen was only twenty-two or twenty-three.

The age gap between them.

Was such that Su Chen could call her aunt.

However, for some reason, when her lips met Su Chen's.

The feeling...

Unexpectedly made her somewhat unable to extricate herself.

This man, though young.

Is very powerful.

And remarkably loyal and compassionate.

You could tell by his attitude towards Long Lan.

Clearly, Long Lan and Su Chen knew each other before, and were quite familiar.

They might even have been lovers.

Later, Long Lan joined Asura.

They became enemies.

But even so, Su Chen still rescued Long Lan from the Fire Qilin, from the Ice Emperor.

Especially when he saved Long Lan from the Fire Qilin's mouth.

"Sorry, this woman, only I can kill!"

At that moment, Cang Lang saw Su Chen's eyes.

Eyes laden with utter sadness.

Unintentionally.

Cang Lang became interested in this man eight years younger than herself.

Who exactly is he?

What is his identity?

Why does his blood possess such potent healing ability?

During the moment when he lay on the bed, declared near death by Sword One.

Why does her heart feel so terrible?

Cang Lang walked to the bedside, sat down, took Su Chen's hand, and softly murmured, "You certainly won't be in trouble, right..."
