Chapter 1208

Xiao Xuan's body instantly crystallized, turning entirely emerald green. He opened his hands to the left and right, blocking the incoming sword Sword Qi from both sides. Then, he exerted his power again, crushing the two Sword Qi inch by inch and grabbing at the sword.

Si Ming's body Blink golden light, indicating he had entered a state of Solar Prominence Eruption. He focused his energy on a single point, thrusting his sword forward with all his might, leaving a white mark in the void. He showed none of the protective force he usually displayed towards the Wheel-Turning King Sword.

With a crisp sound, Xiao Xuan's Uranium Crystal Battle Body could not withstand Si Ming's full-force sword strike. The sharp One Sword pierced his palm, leaving it cracked. The Wheel-Turning King Sword also emitted a damaged sword cry. He raised his eyebrows in anger, and a vast nuclear energy suddenly erupted.

The destructive white light devoured everything, and the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Array was nearly shattered under the impact. Cracks appeared in the outer ice crystal shield. Ling Huanxi immediately turned the blockage into a channel and inserted the Ice and Snow Spear into the ground, doing her best to keep the formation intact.

However, as soon as the light faded, a sharp phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and then a snow-white phoenix, infused with boundless Sword Qi and ice, rose from the ground.

"The Heaven and Earth Overturned, Locusts and Borers Slaughtered!"

In a flash, Xiao Xuan glanced over and saw that Si Ming was standing with his arms crossed in front of his chest, at the position where the Ice Sword Phoenix took off. He immediately understood that when the ultimate moves clashed just now, Si Ming used his body as a shield to block his attack, giving Yan Jinghong time to prepare his move.

"Radium Mercury Execution Prison!"

A surge of violent electrical energy emanated from Xiao Xuan's body, coalescing into hundreds of electric dragons. The blazing light emanating from them resembled a miniature sun, carrying the power of Heaven and Earth Furnace as they wildly surged towards the Ice Sword Phoenix.

Although he was frozen by the cold air and unable to enter the Electric Light Ion State, it did not prevent him from using the corresponding martial arts of the fourth stage!

Amidst the clash of ultimate moves, Sword Qi, ice and snow, lightning, and white light erupted, instantly shattering the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Array. The hills within a ten-mile radius were completely leveled, leaving behind numerous pits and craters.

The ice sword phoenix shattered, revealing Yan Jinghong's wounded figure. In particular, the hand that held the sword was charred black by lightning, and half of his body was covered in blood.

Xiao Xuan was also in a bad situation, and even more seriously injured, after all, he had launched his attack in a hurry. However, he had already achieved his goal of destroying the formation, and immediately tried to transform into Electric Light Ion State to escape.

Facing three opponents, whose strengths he knew intimately, even though he had used the calamity energy within the Sacred Sword to further enhance his cultivation and reach the fourth stage of the "Supreme Plain Decay True Scripture" (a powerful and complex text), and considered himself to be no less capable than the current Void Returning Great Grandmaster Rejuvenation Realm, he still had no confidence in winning.

"The Youming Manifest Life, Cambrian Period!"

Just then, Ling Huanxi slammed her spear into the ground, immediately drawing in the chilling aura emanating from the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Array. The land within a ten-mile radius suddenly boiled, and a million ice spears burst forth from the ground, surrounding and attacking Xiao Xuan. The ice spears reflected dazzling light, crystal clear, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Xiao Xuan roared to the sky, his fists striking out repeatedly. The phantom images of ferocious beasts such as bears, tigers, leopards, and crocodiles constantly appeared around him. His fierce fist force reached the heavens and the earth, shattering the ice spears that approached him into pieces, like smashing glazed tiles. An ancient and savage aura, as if from the most barbaric era, emanated from him, making it difficult for the sea of spears to get close.

However, after unleashing a series of extreme moves and suffering heavy injuries, he was already weakened and his stamina was not inexhaustible. He managed to hold out for a moment before being engulfed by the endless sea of ice spears.

The ice spears could not penetrate Xiao Xuan's body, but they could coat his body with a layer of ice. Hundreds of thousands of ice spears stacked together instantly turned into a huge ice crystal floating in mid-air.

Si Ming and Yan Jinghong caught their breath and used their internal energy to recover from the backlash of their ultimate moves. Then, they each raised their swords and pushed their Cultivation Body to the limit once again. Their Sword Qi energy surged forth, and neither of them dared to hold back in the slightest when facing a powerful enemy like Xiao Xuan.

"The sword shatters the void and soars into the abyss!"

"My Loyal Heart Unchanged, Hot Blood Spent!"

Two powerful Sword Qi tore through the void, easily piercing the ice crystals with unstoppable momentum. Only when they approached Xiao Xuan were they met by a powerful aura barrier, like layers of stacked spatial walls.

However, such a protective aura was only good for blocking ordinary special moves. It was ultimately insufficient against ultimate moves. The Wheel-Turning King Sword and the Moon God's Tear paused slightly, consuming 40% and 60% of their power respectively, before piercing through the void and penetrating Xiao Xuan's body head-on, exiting through his back.

Even with its incredibly sturdy Uranium Crystal Battle Body, it couldn't withstand the sharpness of the divine sword enhanced by its ultimate move. At this moment, a simple horizontal slash would be enough to cut the opponent in two.

"Third brother, are you really going to kill me?"

A sudden, heartfelt remark caused Yan Jinghong to lose her composure.

Seizing the fleeting opportunity, Xiao Xuan suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Si Ming. Si Ming was about to dodge when he suddenly felt weak in his limbs and his True Qi was blocked. He had been exposed to polonium poisoning. Since he had not been able to complete the third stage, his resistance was insufficient, and he could only barely withdraw his sword to parry.

With a sharp clang, the Mohist School Sacred Sword severed the Wheel-Turning King Sword and pierced through the Unseen Si Ming, as if he were destined to be struck by this One Sword.

"Fair-Weather Thunder Stirs, the Hibernating Dragon Rises!"

Although Xiao Xuan no longer has the heart to fight for the common people and cannot use the Sacred Sword to open the Six Heavens Forbidden Sword, it does not prevent him from using the Sacred Sword as an ordinary divine weapon. He is also very clear that among the three opponents, the younger generation Si Ming is the strongest and must be eliminated first.

With a thunderous roar, Sword Qi transformed into a dragon, and the Sacred Sword, carrying Si Ming, rushed into the distance, causing a violent explosion that shook the earth and left the fate of the victims unknown.

"You are hopeless!"

Yan Jinghong, realizing she had been deceived by his feelings, angrily slammed her palm down, striking Xiao Xuan squarely in the chest, compounding his injury, and causing them to fall to the ground together.

With a thud, he landed, and amidst the billowing dust, a figure stood with one knee bent, ignoring the trickling blood from his wound, arrogantly raising his head and asking, "Who in this world is truly holy?"

You are unforgivable!

Who has condemned me?

Xiao Xuan tried to get up, but Yan Jinghong gripped the Moon God's Tear's Tear and pressed down hard, spreading the sword energy and pressing him back to the ground. At the same time, the cold air in the sword sealed him in place.

"What, after killing your second sister, are you going to kill your elder brother with your own hands? Is sacrificing family for the greater good your way of heroism?" Xiao Xuan sneered.

"You are not my elder brother at all now," Yan Jinghong retorted.

"Does denying one's identity make it easier to kill one's brother with a sword?"

Xiao Xuan stood up again under pressure and rebuked sharply, "My second sister hoped that you would become a great hero, but you killed her first, and now you want to kill me, your elder brother. Are you only satisfied when you have killed all your sworn brothers?"

"I'm not..."

"You hypocrite, you heartless wretch! What right do you have to call yourself a hero? How dare you face your second sister!"

Xiao Xuan's face twisted into a ferocious grin. He slapped the speechless Yan Jinghong away with a single palm strike, then casually plucked the Moon God's Tear, leaping into the air. His eyes, red as fire, looked down, his anger having completely consumed his reason. His form mutated, resembling a demon god. He then clasped his hands together, gathering a destructive white light, a terrifying aura gathering in his palms.

Yan Jinghong steadied herself, looked up at the now unfamiliar figure, and recalled her stumbling and faltering life. She couldn't help but ask herself, where exactly did she go wrong?

Why does fate repeatedly force him to face such painful choices?

Since his life is already like this, why can't he have one happy dream?

—I admire great heroes and valiant figures the most, so... promise me, you must become an unparalleled hero.

—It is precisely because I know the pain of losing a loved one that I do not want others to experience the same pain as me.
