"ah!!!!!"
With a piercing scream, a spray of blood erupted, followed by two sharp cracking sounds. Prince's screams were filled with excruciating pain! One of his long wings was torn off entirely by Chen Xiao!
Princeton immediately closed his eyes and fainted, his body soaked in blood, and fell from the sky, landing on the ground with a thud.
Chen Xiao stood in the sky, holding Prince's broken wing in his hand, and with a gentle tug, it tore into pieces!
After Chen Xiao killed the white-winged creature, he felt a sudden, instinctive sense of exhilaration and immediately let out a long howl towards the sky! The howl pierced the clouds! The sound waves traveled for dozens of miles! On the ground, Old Tian's face turned even more grim!
Peacock, Poseidon, Old Tian, and Prince—four S-class powerhouses—had all lost their ability to fight. Before Chen Xiao, even S-class powerhouses seemed utterly vulnerable!
At this moment, the only remaining fighting force on Lao Tian's side was Lin Kunlun!
Lin Kunlun finally stopped his rapidly fidgeting hand, his expression turning extremely strange. Then, he abruptly raised his head, his tiger-like eyes widening in shock! His gaze fixed intently on Chen Xiao in the sky!
Then, he made his move!
With a whoosh, a white light shot up from the ground! Lin Kunlun's figure instantly soared upwards, and in just a moment, he had already surpassed Chen Xiao, pausing briefly above Chen Xiao's height...
A dragon's roar seemed to echo from the sky! Instantly, a dazzling sword light trembled!
In an instant, it seemed as if ten thousand rays of light flashed in the sky, and countless rays of light gathered on Lin Kunlun's sword tip, converging into a single point!
That strongest point!!!
Then, Lin Kunlun's body seemed to merge with the sword in his hand. In the sky, only the most dazzling ray of light could be seen shooting fiercely towards Chen Xiao!
Gorgeous! Indescribably gorgeous!!
Lin Kunlun had been gathering his strength for a long time. After Lao Tian and the others were defeated one after another, he refrained from helping them from the sidelines, all in order to gather all his power and then unleash his ultimate, deadly sword strike!
When Lao Tian stood on the ground and saw that Lin Kunlun's sword seemed to summon ten thousand rays of light, his expression suddenly changed, and he almost blurted it out!
"Shocking the Heavens!! This sword strike is 'Shocking the Heavens'!! That damned Lin San actually mastered this deadly sword technique!!!"
Its sharpness terrifies the heavens, its sword roars like a dragon!
With a sound like a dragon's roar, Lin Kunlun, now one with his sword, finally struck Chen Xiao!
Silently!!!
Compared to the magnificent and dazzling scene, the final blow landed on Chen Xiao without a sound! But soon, it was as if a ball of crimson light on Chen Xiao's body exploded and disintegrated!
Then, after pausing for a few seconds, his body suddenly flipped backward and plummeted away with lightning speed!
The force with which it fell was many times faster than a cannonball!
His body was about to crash heavily up the mountainside, finally slamming into the slope with a deafening roar! The earth shook violently, the ground trembled beneath his feet, and Chen Xiao sank deep into the hillside after the impact. A bottomless crater was carved into the mountain. Chen Xiao's figure had vanished into that crater! The crater was pitch black, and its depth was impossible to discern!
However, even through that hole, one could still hear the continuous, rumbling vibrations emanating from within the mountain!
The earth was still trembling slightly, as if the entire Mount Fuji was shaking! And in the sky, the radiant glow surrounding Lin Kunlun vanished, the strange phenomenon disappearing. His figure slowly descended, landing beside Lao Tian.
His landing appeared quite steady, but upon landing, his face suddenly turned a pale gold, a color that was somewhat tragic and frightening. Lin Kunlun noticed the anxious and concerned look in Lao Tian's eyes, forced a smile, and staggered down to sit cross-legged, holding his sword and meditating.
Old Tian stood before Lin Kunlun, his mind racing with conflicting thoughts. Finally, he couldn't help but sigh, "The Nine Heavens Sword! Brother Lin, your sacrifice is immense!!"
Lin Kunlun opened his eyes and forced a smile: "You also know about the Nine Heavens Sword?"
Old Tian's expression was serious: "The Nine Heavens Sword. Once unleashed, it is a sure kill!! But as a swordsman, this is an extremely powerful move, very difficult to master. I also know that unleashing such a powerful sword will cause enormous damage to the user. Brother Lin, you..." Old Tian's eyes showed some sadness.
"I unleashed this sword strike, and the sword energy I've painstakingly cultivated over decades has been destroyed in this one blow! My remaining abilities are less than a fraction of what they used to be! Even a low-level C-rank ability user could easily kill me. It will take me at least a hundred years to regain my former skills..."
A hundred years... Old Tian felt a pang of sadness.
Although a genius like Lin Kunlun could naturally cultivate back to S-rank within a hundred years or so as long as he didn't die, Lin Kunlun was already quite old. While not as abnormally old as himself at four hundred, he was still over a hundred years old, and unlike himself, he didn't possess an extended lifespan, so it was impossible for him to live another hundred years or so!
In other words, after he unleashed his strongest sword strike, the world lost an S-class powerhouse!
Old Tian mustered his strength for a moment and stood up. He glanced at the terrifying hole in the mountain in the distance. The hole was so horrifying; could it have punched right through the entire Mount Fuji?!
Old Tian was now the only one among them who could still barely walk. He took a few steps, but suddenly felt another tremor beneath his feet. The mountain was shaking violently once more!
A strong sense of unease suddenly arose in Lao Tian's heart.
finally……
boom!!!!
It was as if a thunderbolt struck overhead! The shock made my whole body go numb!
Old Tian looked up, but his expression changed drastically, and he stared dumbfounded at the distance above...
In the distance, on a mountaintop several kilometers away...
The summit of Mount Fuji, perpetually covered in snow! Its massive, bowl-shaped pass has been transformed into a ball of flame!!
Amidst a deafening roar like thunder, countless flames erupted from the mountain pass, reaching heights of a thousand meters! From the thick black smoke, crimson flames and lava were ejected directly into the sky!
"Mount Fuji...Mount Fuji...erupted?!!!!!"
Old Tian's face immediately contorted in pain!
What made his face turn even more ashen was that the lava from the volcanic eruption had been sprayed into the sky and was falling like a torrential rain at the edge of the crater!
But within that world, now a sea of thick smoke and crimson flames, a shadow shot out like a giant fireball!
The fireball-like shadow flashed across the sky a few times before leaping several distances in an instant!
