The Powerful Lord of Absolute Sword

Song Zhong did not even have time to pick up Silverlight Immortal Emperor's Universe Ring before his gaze fell upon the two incoming figures.

Lord of Vanishing Shadows and Lord of Absolute Sword!

Sure enough, in the other space, the victors had also been the two of them.

And...

With a single glance, Song Zhong discovered that they seemed to have suffered no injuries—at least, none visible on the surface.

Lord of Vanishing Shadows and Lord of Absolute Sword looked over at the same time.

"Sure enough, you were the final victors, just as I expected. Your speed was even faster than I anticipated. We had only just finished our battle, yet you had already finished yours."

Lord of Vanishing Shadows looked at Song Zhong, a chilling expression appearing on his face. "What a pity. If you had continued growing, perhaps your achievements would not have been beneath mine. Yet you insisted on seeking death by entering these Sage Ruins.

"The Sage Ruins are not a place a mere Immortal Emperor should enter."

As he spoke, he turned toward Lord of Absolute Sword. "Compared to female cultivators, I prefer killing male cultivators. Lord of Absolute Sword, leave that other female cultivator to you."

As the final syllable fell, a string of afterimages suddenly appeared in the void.

Song Zhong's expression changed sharply. This fellow was so fast!

The next instant, Lord of Vanishing Shadows appeared before Song Zhong, a sharp dagger in his hand stabbing straight toward him.

Lord of Vanishing Shadows was so fast that only after his body had reached its target could one see the afterimages left behind in the void.

It was clearly a dagger, yet as it descended, it transformed into two venomous serpents, one white and one black, tearing straight toward Song Zhong's neck.
