"Hiss!!!"

The deep blue palm seal began to struggle, and its lamenting cries grew louder.

The multicolored embroidered ball formed by multicolored sleeves trembled slightly.

However, this tremble lasted only a breath or two before fading away.

The blue palm seal had already shattered.

At this moment.

The Ice Blade, like the Grim Reaper's knife, silently approached the Fifth Elder.

"Goddess, your speed of improvement is truly swift." The Fifth Elder was both surprised and impressed, but more so wary. He raised both hands, pushing gently in two opposite directions.

Instantly.

Deep blue Mysterious Qi, like thousands of blue dragons, swirled between the Fifth Elder's hands!

Forming a spherical ball of Mysterious Qi.

Meanwhile.

The Ice Blade directly pierced into the deep blue Qi sphere.

In the distance, Xiao Yuan moved again!

Directly charging towards the Fifth Elder.

"Fifth Elder, spare Su Chen today. Someday, Xiao Yuan will repay you. If Su Chen dies here today, then I, Xiao Yuan, swear to fight you with undying determination!!!" As Xiao Yuan charged, her voice was firm.

"Goddess, he killed Xiang Qianqing; no one can save him. Chuanjian, act!" The Fifth Elder's face flashed with resolve and Evil Qi, and he moved towards Xiao Yuan, simultaneously shouting sternly.

"Little brat, prepare to die. How dare you, a War Ancient Sky ant, covet the Goddess? You deserve a thousand deaths!!!" Fang Chuanjian could not wait any longer; he glared at Su Chen with gritted teeth, murderous intent boiling, and his Longsword suddenly drawn.

Sing!

Sword resonance!

The sound of sword resonance was extremely crisp.

Moreover, accompanying the sword resonance, the Sword Soul was distinctly activated.

This sword already possessed a soul.

A very strong sword, and indeed, it was Fang Chuanjian's Life-Bound Sword.

Despite Su Chen's weakness, Fang Chuanjian did not underestimate him; instead, he used all his strength, not for any other reason but to show the Goddess how weak her chosen ant was, utterly unable to withstand even one of his strikes.

As Fang Chuanjian released one sword strike.

Suddenly.

The Heavens seemed split in two.

The Sword Light was like scissors, seemingly capable of cutting through space, dividing it into two.

Sword Light advanced, gaining an inch, retracting a foot!!!

In the blink of an eye, as it reached Su Chen, the Sword Light was as thin as a hair, as delicate as a cicada's wing.

Sometimes, it's not the enormity of the Sword Light that is terrifying, but its minuteness. Because a thousand pounds of force under a Heavy Hammer can only smash iron and stone, while under a needlepoint, it can instantly pierce a strong one's skull.

Under the same force, the more concentrated, the sharper, the more minute, the more frightening!

To condense Sword Light into a hair-thin, cicada-wing form, this skill, Su Chen recognized, he didn't have.

And he was still far from it.

With just this sword strike, Su Chen could assert that Fang Chuanjian's strength was not much inferior to Xiao Ziyu.

Even stronger than Su Chen imagined.

"Su Chen! Be careful!!! Save him!" Xiao Yuan, battling the Fifth Elder, was anxious, shouting loudly, first to warn Su Chen, second to earnestly plead for Yinyin to help.

However.

Su Chen seemed not to hear her voice and stood there motionless, with an air of calmness, a hint of admiration, a touch of interest, and a trace of pity.

While Yinyin showed a sliver of expectation, a sliver of amusement, a sliver of reassurance, and a sliver of a smile.

In the blink of an eye.

It came.

The Sword Light darted straight for Su Chen's throat.

"Quite a strong sword strike. It's a pity you're facing me." Su Chen finally spoke, and the calmness, admiration, interest, and pity on his face vanished instantly, leaving only coldness and murderous intent.

Like a machine.

Murderous intent to the ultimate!

Coldness to the ultimate!

Su Chen's eyes sparkled, explosive brilliance radiating boundlessly.

"Earth Witch Mountain!" he shouted, the murderous intent boundless. Since Fang Chuanjian had directly launched a killing blow at him, naturally, he wouldn't hold back either.

Su Chen did not borrow Old Dragon's Power but instead used Jiuyou's Power.

If borrowing Old Dragon's Power, Su Chen's strength would be even greater.

But, it's only Fang Chuanjian, no need.

Using Jiuyou's Power has one more advantage, which is that once Jiuyou's Power recedes, given his current Physical Strength and prowess, there is a mere short span of a few dozen breaths of weakness, and once these few dozen breaths are over, he can return to Peak Combat Power, and even borrow Old Dragon's Power again to ensure his absolute Strength.

Su Chen did not think that killing Fang Chuanjian was enough because Fang Chuanjian had a grandfather, the Fifth Elder.

"Boom..." As Earth Witch Mountain was cast out, it was like an illusion, a dream, magic without any Mysterious Qi fluctuation precursor or any Qi fluctuation preparation, just suddenly, a heap of dark, ancient, heavy, inscrutable black mountain appeared before Su Chen.

Ding!

Earth Witch Mountain had just appeared when the hair-thin, cicada-wing sharp Sword Light landed on Earth Witch Mountain.

Buzz!!!

Earth Witch Mountain shuddered fiercely, even retreating a foot, and its black Divine Light dimmed considerably, emitting a piercing sound.

Yet, it still blocked it.

Su Chen was astonished; Fang Chuanjian's sword strike was powerful! Even the Earth Witch Mountain with the borrowed Jiuyou's Power barely stopped this strike!

Quite a formidable Fang Chuanjian.

"..." Yet now, compared to Su Chen's inner shock, Fang Chuanjian seemed as though his Divine Soul had been drained and his Spirit Space shattered, utterly stunned.

Even if beaten to death a thousand times, ten thousand times, he could not believe that this half-step Eternal Realm kid under twenty-seven could... could actually withstand his sword strike!

This wasn't an ordinary sword strike; he had practiced it over ten million times, honed it for thousands of years, and fused his original Swordsmanship to Great Achievement, with the sword's aura, destiny, Qi Blade, and momentum.

Incorporating much of his own comprehensions and Combat Awareness.

Grandfather once said only this sword strike could earn his recognition.

Grandfather's vision? Enough to show this sword strike was strong.

In recent years, whenever he encountered strong foes, in final desperate battles, he mostly used this sword strike, and succeeded every time.

Why today...

Fang Chuanjian was so shocked his consciousness seemed lost.

He's no incompetent, nor is he useless, yet losing focus in combat—this might be a first in his life.

"Earth Witch Mountain!!!" Yet Su Chen couldn't miss such a good opportunity; his eyes brightened, raising his hand, another mysterious, elusive, unfathomable arm movement.
