Suddenly, a bout of palpitations struck his heart as if he had been targeted by some terrifying creature.
The next moment, a bizarre sword light burst forth from the trees on one side.
Accompanying the sweeping sword light was a horrifying True Image Level Sword Intent.
His heart was filled with shock.
Could there be a Heavenly Person?
He had been using his Spiritual Perception to monitor his surroundings, but had detected nothing at all.
Where was this person hiding?
Could it be that Xiao Wendao wasn’t lying to him earlier, that there had truly been an ambush?
He quickly dashed away, using his Martial Intent to counter the opponent’s Sword Intent, while releasing icy True Qi to construct a set of Xuanming Gang Armor on his body.
But just as the sword light approached within a zhang in front of him, a strange glow burst forth, and an invisible fluctuation swept over his body.
In an instant.
He felt his blood and Qi rebel against him, and his body seemed to lose control, affecting his True Qi control.
Simultaneously, a terrifying bell sound echoed in his mind.
He not only lost control of his body, but even his consciousness seemed to enter a momentary blank state.
In a daze, he saw a sword light piercing through his body.
Puff!
Splash...
Chen Ao’s body was split in two in mid-air.
Blood and fragments of innards splattered everywhere.
Immediately after, the two halves of the corpse fell to the ground with a thud, eyes still wide open, dead beyond doubt.
Swoosh!
Li Qian, clad in a black cloak, landed on the ground.
He let out a silent sigh of relief.
This sword.
He had given it his all, using all of his strength.
After all, he was facing a Heavenly Person.
He dared not hold back at all.
Moreover, to his surprise, it was quite the coincidence.
He had just broken through to the Pure Holy Body and barely emerged from the forest when he stumbled upon a Heavenly Person from the Divine Sword Sect being hunted down.
Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to take action.
He could not just watch as a Heavenly Person was killed.
What’s more, his Pure Holy Body had just achieved a breakthrough, spawning the Divine Skills—the embryo of the Qi Blood Sacred Realm, which gave him some confidence when facing a Heavenly Person.
At the same time, he was eager to test himself to see how strong he really was.
This sword.
It basically represented his true strength.
Although the opponent was caught off guard and was attacked by stealth...
Successful assassination in itself also signified that his strength was now sufficient to battle an ordinary Heavenly Person.
...
Lying on the ground, Xiao Wendao had been ready to accept death.
After all, his last attack had exhausted his trump card, draining the last bit of True Qi in his body.
Now even an ordinary Postnatal Martial Artist could have killed him.
But unexpectedly, someone burst forth all of a sudden and split the Xuanming Sect’s Heavenly Person, Chen Ao, in two with a single sword strike?
Yes.
Split in two by a single sword.
He was literally stunned.
Where did this Heavenly Person come from?
Such terrifying strength.
Even though Chen Ao had been greatly weakened.
And was caught off guard.
But as a veteran Heavenly Person with such extensive combat experience, he shouldn’t have been slain by a single sword strike.
However, this person was covered in a black cloak, and his features were indiscernible.
The only identifier, perhaps, was the terrifying True Image Level Sword Intent.
