Plunging into the Forbidden Zone without Hesitation
His strength, it still wasn’t enough.
Faced with desperate circumstances, and armed with the will of a boulder, he could no longer worry about the small things.. The true qi in his body was all concentrated on the nameless treasured blade.
“Treasured blade, I barely caught a glimpse of the passing beauty that was your splendor that night. The spirit strength that passed as quickly as a white pony’s shadow across a crevice, the aura that once pierced the stars, the secret that palpated hearts… will you awaken at this moment?”
Jiang Chen had thrown all the random thoughts in his mind to the back of his mind in this moment of life and death.
Whether he lived or died would be decided in this pivotal moment.
The true qi within his body surging up like the tidewaters, as he circulated the true qi currents of the “Secret of the Nine Laughing Oceans” to the utmost.
Coalescing nine meridians true qi as one.
Surging to the treasured blade in his hand.
“Second form of Vast Ocean Current Splitter – Wave Breaker”
At this moment, an astounding scene happened. That simple and unadorned nameless saber suddenly awoke — like an ancient deity reviving from its slumber, breaking free of the shackles of heaven and earth, and trampling the rivers and mountains of the world.
The dusky splendor of stars and a dim sun and moon.
In that moment, the vast waves true qi around the nameless blade concentrated into the vague shape of a deity from time immemorial, holding the skies and the earth.
The aura of this stroke was as if it carried the representation of the ancient deity — as if it held the terrifying power to destroy the heavens and earth.
A crisp crack sounded out twice.
The blades had connected. Under the edge of the nameless saber, the golden runes on Long Yinye’s broadsword flickered out like a candle being snuffed, and the shadow of the grimacing five clawed dragon was as if scattered by the wind.
A crisp sound like ripping silk rang out from Long Juxue’s azure phoenix short sword.
True qi drained out in the next moment.
Long Yinye’s broadsword cracked in the middle, breaking into two pieces.
Long Juxue’s azure phoenix short sword had been broken into many pieces, and been turned into scrap metal.
As for the nameless saber, its remaining prestige was ceaseless. The sounds of the blade howling were emitted in continuous succession as beams of bright light emanated from it, completely unharmed.
Long Yinye was dumbfounded. Long Juxue was similarly dumbfounded.
Even Jiang Chen was quite astonished by this scene. It was obviously outside of his expectations. One had to know, his opponents were using spirit weapons.
Even true qi masters couldn’t dream of obtaining a spirit weapon.
“Die!” The boss killer’s long readied arrow shot towards Jiang Chen at the best possible timing.
The perfect moment, an incomparable arrow.
It had inserted itself into this delicate timing without the slightest error.
Jiang Chen’s strike had been deployed. Although he’d broken through the blows from the Long siblings’ spirit weapons, he still couldn’t avoid this terrifying arrow.
The arrowhead crashed viciously into Jiang Chen’s chest. Although the strong true qi still didn’t pierce through the Skysilk Soft Armor, it still sent Jiang Chen flying.
The arrow that Jiang Chen had taken before was on his back.
This arrow connected solidly with the crucial area of his chest. As he was sent flying, fresh blood spewed wildly. Every meridian was invaded by strong true qi, as if he’d been electrocuted, nearly destroying every single one.
It was a good thing that the soft armor had already blocked more than half of the power.
Jiang Chen had also spent a lot of effort during normal times to strengthen his meridians, and had used unique methods to forge them, nurturing them with spirit medicine over long periods of time.
This was why his meridians weren’t churned to pieces.
However, even if they weren’t churned to pieces, they were heavily injured, and could no longer circulate the slightest bit of true qi.
After he landed, Jiang Chen almost couldn’t catch his breath. He vomited up three mouthfuls of fresh blood in a row and finally crawled up, sustained by burning his life energy. His body jerked as he ran in a stumbling dash into the endless darkness.
“After him.”
Long Yinye was the first to rush over, with Long Juxue close behind him. The emotions of the two at the moment were both astounded and enraged. They had prepared so long for this time, and had even brought out their spirit weapons. They had thought that they could easily crush Jiang Chen.
Who would’ve thought that the two spirit weapons would be made worthless by Jiang Chen’s unassuming blade.
The boss killer of the Hidden Hand was in no panic or rush, always keeping his calm as he rounded up the rear, chasing at an appropriate speed.
