A profound sense of sha surged within the Swordsaint.
There was a ti when he was a lofty Saint, revered wherever he went. Even Supre Realm experts, let alone Heavenly Kings, would grovel and tremble at his feet. Yet at this mont, facing Su Han, who was rely in the Heavenly King Realm, he was defeated. He was sent flying by a single slash and coughed up fresh blood as his injuries grew ever more severe.
This... this was simply inconceivable!
The injuries within his body grew heavier, and his spiritual energy had bottod out. The Forbidden Curse Poison had yet to be lifted and continued to weaken his strength. Clenching his teeth, he refused to submit, much less be defeated and killed so easily.
Like Su Han, he ca from humble beginnings with an insignificant background. However, through unscrupulous ans, he had climbed his way up step by step, finally attaining his current position and the power of the Saint Realm. Having once been weak, he cherished everything he now had all the more and was desperate to preserve his life.
"Energy Physique!"
The Swordsaint fully activated his Great Sun Sword Body. Instantly, his entire form shone with brilliant sunlight as Sword Qi crisscrossed around him. He was no longer a being of flesh and blood but had transford into pure energy. In such a state, normal attacks could no longer harm him; only special techniques and energies would be effective.
Unfortunately for him, while he possessed a Great Accomplishnt Physique, so did Su Han.
"Black Hole Transformation!"
Su Han imdiately activated his Energy Physique, transforming into a black hole. It emitted a terrifying Devouring Power that consud and absorbed the sunlight and Sword Qi from the Swordsaint’s body, plunging the Unparalleled Hall into darkness and making escape impossible.
"Divine Power Technique: Blossoming with One Thought!"
Su Han quickly used his Divine Power Technique, and the Shore Flower Clone appeared once more.
"Holy Thunder Golden Wheel!"
The Shore Flower Clone used the Secret of the Soldier Character to manipulate the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel. The Taiyi Golden Thunder roared and exploded as the golden wheel spun at high speed, unleashing a terrifying cutting force that split space itself.
"Nine Palace Golden Pagoda!"
anwhile, Su Han’s original body multitasked. He attacked with the Black Blade in one hand while using the Secret of the Soldier Character to send the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda down to suppress the Swordsaint.
Both the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel and the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda were Holy Artifacts. Although they were only Low-Grade Holy Artifacts, incomparable to the Cold Iron Holy Sword in the Swordsaint’s hands, Su Han was at his peak. Activated with his full power, their might was trendous, placing the Swordsaint under imnse pressure.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The Swordsaint fought with all his might, raising his sword to fend off both the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel and the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda. However, he was grievously injured. Furthermore, the Eight Extres Star Array sealed the surrounding space-ti, preventing him from using his Domain or the power of ti. Last ti, he had only escaped by forcing Lan Yi the Female Saint to self-destruct, but this ti, there was no one left to help him.
The Swordsaint was exceedingly frustrated. A magnificent Saint like himself had fallen into such a dire situation—unable to flee, unable to win. Was he truly going to perish here today?
No! I absolutely cannot die!
"Great Sun Transformation, I am the True Sword! Slay Heaven and Earth, Annihilate the Universe!"
The Swordsaint decided to stake his life on one final gamble. If this continued, he would sooner or later be defeated and slain by Su Han. Rather than die a pitiful death, he would risk it all.
PFFT!
Grasping the Cold Iron Holy Sword, he plunged it into his own heart. Imdiately, his Great Sun Sword Body erupted in a boundless golden radiance, turning the entire Unparalleled Hall into a Golden Divine Temple. Unfortunately, there was nothing divine here—only scorching heat and a murderous aura that promised eternal destruction.
WHOOSH!
The Swordsaint unleashed his final reserve of strength, his entire being transforming into a streak of Sword Radiance. It was a radiant golden light that illuminated the heavens, powerful enough to cleave the universe. This Sword Radiance possessed the might of the Swordsaint at his peak. Forget Supres—even so weaker Saints could be slain by this single strike.
Su Han’s expression turned grave. He hadn’t expected the Swordsaint, on the brink of death, to unleash such terrifying power.
Saints should never be underestimated!
"Supre Defense!"
Su Han quickly executed his Supre Defense, enveloping his body in layer after layer of protection, as if he had donned more than a dozen suits of heavy armor.
"Holy Thunder Golden Wheel!"
"Nine Palace Golden Pagoda!"
Su Han activated the two Holy Artifacts again. He knew he couldn’t give the Swordsaint ti to build his power; once the attack was fully mustered, he probably wouldn’t be able to block it.
"Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe!"
"Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!"
"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"
Su Han attacked again, unleashing Origin Techniques and powerful Martial Techniques in succession, launching a ferocious assault on the Swordsaint. At this mont, he too had no path of retreat. It was either advance or die.
"Kill!"
A roar filled with killing intent erupted from the Swordsaint’s mouth. With a great leap, he slashed directly at Su Han.
CRACK!
Space itself was cleaved open, revealing a colossal fissure akin to a canyon. The entire Unparalleled Hall trembled violently.
BOOM!
A Heavenly Evolving Saint Rune failed to withstand the terrifying force and shattered. It was followed by a second, then a third... In the blink of an eye, all eighteen Heavenly Evolving Saint Runes exploded. The other Holy Pattern fragnts also collapsed, and the entire Eight Extres Star Array was utterly destroyed by this single strike.
However, the Sword Radiance that was the Swordsaint had also dimd significantly. Because he had used all his strength, he no longer had the energy to escape even though the Eight Extres Star Array was broken. His only option was to kill Su Han first.
CLANG! CLANG!
Soon, the Sword Radiance collided with the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel and the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda. Unfortunately, this ti, they could not withstand the blow. They were sent flying, tumbling into the swamp below. Su Han had no ti to regain control of them; all his attention was now focused on the Swordsaint.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The arcing Sword Radiance crashed against Su Han’s Martial Techniques, setting off a series of explosions in the air. The terrifying energy fluctuations blew the Unparalleled Hall to smithereens. Ultimately, the Sword Radiance broke through the Supre Defense and struck Su Han.
A dazzling light engulfed his figure, while the terrifying Sword Radiance cleaved the ruins of the Heavenly Demon Cult in two, as if plunging them into an endless abyss.
As the Sword Radiance dimd and the energy subsided, the Swordsaint’s figure reappeared. He collapsed to the ground, completely drained and unable to move, but he was still alive.
I’ve won!
His lips twitched, confident in the outco of his strike.
However, in the next mont, his pupils contracted and his expression froze. There, before him, stood Su Han. Though covered in blood and on the brink of death from his critical injuries, he too was still alive.
"Secret of Healer!"
Su Han swiftly activated the Secret Technique. His wounds began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye, and he soon made a full recovery, driving the Swordsaint into despair.
I can’t... accept this!
Watching Su Han raise his blade to strike, the Swordsaint’s eyes filled with intense unwillingness. But in the end, he could not escape death.
With a flash of the blade, the Swordsaint perished.
