Despite being psychologically prepared, when Gai Jianchan truly heard the news, he still found it unbearable, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

This little bastard, how dare he kill my disciple!

"Scoundrel, if I don't kill you today, then I am not Gai Jianchan! I am not the Yin Yang Sword Saint!" Gai Jianchan roared furiously, his Spiritual Energy erupting violently in the Fusion stage.

Tang Rao held some contempt for Gai Jianchan's title, "Yin Yang Sword Saint"? How shameless does one have to be?

"Why don't you ask Gu Shengtai?" Tang Rao said to Gai Jianchan with a smile on his face.

Gai Jianchan's face twitched slightly at the mention of Gu Shengtai.

"How about you destroy your own cultivation foundation? As long as you do that, I'll let Gu Shengtai go. What do you think?" Tang Rao suggested.

"Damn it!" Gai Jianchan cursed in anger.

This kid Tang Rao, so cunning and unscrupulous!

Actually using Shengtai to threaten him.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for what I do." Gai Jianchan narrowed his eyes and abruptly turned towards the villa.

Since Tang Rao was using Shengtai to threaten him, he would retaliate by using this kid's family against him.

Tang Rao did not try to stop Gai Jianchan, but instead, he quickly raised his hand.

Bang!

Bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

A series of muffled sounds followed.

The Heavy Sniper Gun!

For Tang Rao, there was nothing dishonorable in combat, only victory mattered.

Besides, would Tang Rao be a fool if he didn't make use of the vast resources of Yan Country?

Although firearms posed very little threat to a cultivator at the Fusion stage, they could still have an impact.

Any impact was a chance for success.

The moment the Heavy Sniper Gun fired, Tang Rao burst forward, aiming straight for Gai Jianchan.

In terms of cultivation realm, he was an entire Great Realm below Gai Jianchan, but he chose to fight nonetheless.

Better to be proactive than reactive, to seize the initiative.

"Young man, you are full of spirit," Zeng Yan commented from a distance, seeing Tang Rao charge forward.

If he wasn't mistaken, Tang Rao was at the early stages of enlightenment, much weaker compared to Gai Jianchan.

"No chance of winning," Zeng Yan couldn't help but shake his head. Even with a marksman providing cover, the disparity in strength was too great. Gai Jianchan was in the Fusion stage and excelled at offensive techniques; his powerful sword techniques were not something someone at the enlightenment stage could handle.

Although Tang Rao had previously killed Shie E Dao at the peak of Foundation Establishment, there was no possibility of him overcoming someone like Gai Jianchan.

"Perhaps I need to find someone else," Zeng Yan murmured.

With only half a month left before the journey to the Nine-Headed King Hall, it was unlikely to find another young talent as outstanding as Tang Rao.

...

"Ha ha ha, idiot, courting death!" Gai Jianchan dodged the bullets, his longsword vibrating with a clank, his Sword Intent fierce.

Feeling Gai Jianchan's Sword Intent, Tang Rao frowned slightly, the bastard, he has a Sword Heart.

Yes, Gai Jianchan was a natural-born swordsman, possessing a Sword Heart.

Such people were extremely rare across the nine worlds and the Seventy-two Domains. Every cultivator with a Sword Heart, as long as they don't perish, would become a power in their own right.

Their understanding of the Sword Dao far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Grasping the Sword Dao was as natural to them as a fish takes to water.

Fortunately, Gai Jianchan did not have a Special Spiritual Root. If he had a Metal Spirit Root coupled with a Sword Heart, that would truly be formidable.

"Fatal Sword Incantation." Gai Jianchan flicked his longsword, his Spiritual Energy, Sword Intent, and Spiritual Technique working in perfect harmony, murderous intent omnipresent, ripping through the air.

"Eight Extremes!" Tang Rao also threw a punch.

Eight Extremes Dragon King Collapse!

The force of the punch exploded outward, not lingering for combat, he quickly retreated.

The longsword approached, clashing with the power of the Eight Extremes Dragon King Collapse.

"Boom boom boom boom!" The sound of thunderous explosions resonated.

Every time there was a shockwave, the longsword in Gai Jianchan's hands would shudder.

At the same time, the heavy sniper gun sounded again.

This time, Gai Jianchan did not dodge but erupted with spiritual energy instead, deflecting all the bullets.

As for himself, in almost three to four seconds, he completely broke through the Eight Extremes Dragon King Collapse and once again lunged towards Tang Rao.

With no turning back, his murderous intent ran rampant.

"Damn, so fierce!" Tang Rao urged his step technique, his body shifting and flickering unpredictably.

Gai Jianchan relentlessly pursued, and although his footwork was not as mystical as Tang Rao's, his absolute speed was far superior.

Amidst the shadow of swords, Tang Rao faced imminent dangers.

In just under a minute, Tang Rao's body was covered with sword wounds. His clothes were in tatters, making him look so wretched that it drove him to despair.

Unable to defend himself!

That was Tang Rao's most immediate feeling.

The gap was simply too huge.

At the Fusion phase, even in the Nine-Headed King Hall of the Seventy-two Domains, that was considered quite a good level.

"Tang Rao you little thief, go to hell! Ten Thousand Sword Technique!" Gai Jianchan laughed wildly, manipulating the spiritual technique, as the longsword in his hand burst into the sky.

As it hovered mid-air, the longsword emitted a soft hum.

Then, countless sword lights separated from the longsword, each filled with spiritual energy, each with sword intent, all possessing lethal force.

"Kill!" Gai Jianchan violently swung his arm.

Countless sword lights, blanketing the sky, rushed toward Tang Rao.

"Alas..." Up in a big tree, Zeng Yan shook his head with a sorrowful sigh, perhaps, this was the end.

This Ten Thousand Sword Technique, even he probably wouldn't be able to withstand.

Tang Rao was just at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, how could he possibly survive.

Even though Tang Rao was skilled at creating miracles, this time, it seemed there really was no hope.

Amidst the sword lights, Tang Rao frantically took out a bottle from the space token and drank all its contents.

The solution of the Dragon Blood Tree branch.

"All in!" Immediately after, Tang Rao roared furiously, "Dragon King Blood Fury!"

A ferocity and a rage overwhelmed him in an instant.

His eyes suddenly bloodshot, and an awe-inspiring force erupted from his body.

"Break!" The next moment, as tens of thousands of sword lights attacked, Tang Rao incredibly spread his arms, concentrated his spiritual energy, and with his flesh and blood, resisted!

The ultimate madness, the ultimate brutality!

In the blink of an eye, Tang Rao was engulfed by that dense swarm of sword lights.

Tens of thousands of sword lights crisscrossed, the entire ground was thoroughly blasted open, forming a mix of dust and sword light at the explosion point.

As if it could destroy everything.

"It's over..." Zeng Yan had a look of desolation.

This was a completely unequal battle, Tang Rao was doomed to fail.

However, he still admired Tang Rao, knowingly outmatched, yet still fearlessly engaging in battle. Similar to Xiu He, unfortunately, their outcomes, both not good.

At the villa's entrance, Bai Yushu had already collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Shangguan Ling bit her lip, gripping tightly with both hands. No one noticed the brief flash of tangible golden light in the young girl's eyes.

As for Meng Junqiao, her expression was also extremely ugly.

There was no denying that Tang Rao was a genius, the most demonic talent she had ever seen so far.

Twenty years old, at the Foundation Establishment stage, with even more frightening combat ability, just the thought of it was terrifying.

It was hard to imagine what the outcome would be if he were to grow up.

Perhaps, he could really aspire to the summit of this world.

The fall of a genius is always lamentable.

"Ten Thousand Sword Explosion!" Gai Jianchan seemed still unsatisfied, waving the spiritual technique, the bombardment circle composed of tens of thousands of sword lights suddenly exploded in a shockwave.

Series of roars echoed incessantly, the ground shook, and even the air rippled.
