"Rumble!!"
Within the arena, a blazing black-and-white radiance erupted!
Xuan Aotian was blasted clean away.
He crawled up from the ground, covered in wounds and coughing blood. Even the Immortal Slaughtering Sword in his hand had been blasted away.
Xuan Ning's expression was indifferent. Yin Yang Two Forms spun beneath his feet, his black hair draping over his shoulders. With the eyes of everyone in the arena gathered upon him, he strode forward slowly like a Young Supreme.
"Xuan Aotian, do you see it now? This is the gap between you and me."
"From childhood until now, I, Xuan Ning, have cultivated diligently. Not a single day have I ever slackened!"
"You have always blamed Father, but have you ever considered that if Xuan Family blood did not flow through your veins, you would not even be qualified to see me!"
Xuan Aotian wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and took out a pill to swallow. His eyes were bloodshot and slightly red.
Hearing this, he threw back his head and laughed. His eyes were filled with hatred and disdain.
"What a Xuan Family prodigy!"
"My dear younger brother, you should know that you are the pride of the Xuan Family..."
"And I, Xuan Aotian."
"Am nothing more than a discarded child of the Lineage!!"
Boom!
As his words fell, Xuan Aotian's aura suddenly surged!
Before him, an incomparably dazzling divine radiance blossomed. Accompanied by an incredibly crisp sword cry, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword embedded in the ground in the distance began to tremble violently!
"Bang!!"
A thunderous boom rang out.
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword transformed into a black rainbow and shot into the sky. At some point, a diamond-shaped disc had appeared in Xuan Aotian's hand.
Four holes were embedded in the disc, while a shocking sword intent flowed endlessly across its surface.
The Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram!
"Xuan Ning, do you really think this is all I am capable of?"
"Ridiculous!"
"Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram, arise!"
Divine light burst from Xuan Aotian's eyes. With an angry roar, the diamond-shaped Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram in his hand swiftly rose into the air.
As though summoned and drawn by something, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword flew straight toward the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram.
In an instant, a formation conjured from sword intent enveloped Xuan Ning!
Dragons and serpents rose from the land, killing intent surged!
At this sight, everyone on the platform was aghast. The sharp, dense sword intent seemed to rush straight at their faces, making their cheeks sting.
"What is that?!"
"A sword formation?! That artifact actually contains a sword formation?"
Among the crowd, quite a few sharp-eyed people seemed to realize something.
An elder from a Hidden Ancient Clan changed expression, staring at Xuan Aotian in the arena in disbelief.
"Could that be the legendary Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram?!"
"Then does that mean the divine weapon he is using... is one of the Four Heavenly Swords?!"
This was bad!
Legend had it that each of the Four Heavenly Swords possessed a sword formation with boundless killing intent. If that were true, then even Xuan Ning at the Ninth Layer of the Undying Realm would be no match for it!
"Xuan Aotian, have you gone mad?"
"He is your own younger brother! Xuan Ning has held back against you time and again. Do you truly intend to kill him?!" someone from a Hidden Ancient Clan shouted angrily.
Xuan Aotian's black hair danced wildly. He was utterly indifferent to everything around him, and the killing intent on his face was no act.
He stared fixedly at Xuan Ning, who was trapped within the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram.
"I, Xuan Aotian, have never acknowledged any damned younger brother!"
"Let blood be my remonstrance, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword my catalyst..."
"Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!!"
Xuan Aotian roared madly. The enormous sword formation rumbled as it turned, and he was already prepared to stake his life on this battle!
Within the sword formation, every inch of space erupted with fierce Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi, making it impossible to guard against!
"Pfft!"
Even Xuan Ning was caught off guard for a moment, his cheek sliced open by the fierce sword qi and left with a bloody wound.
Xuan Ning frowned. Layers upon layers of Yin Yang Two Forms power shielded his body, and his gaze gradually turned grave and cold.
"Even now, you remain so stubbornly unrepentant..."
"Since that is the case, do not blame me for disregarding the bond of blood!"
"Xuan Aotian! Stop sullying the name of my Ancient Clan Xuan Family!"
"Die!"
As his words fell, Xuan Ning took out the Rage Yuan Pill Su Chenxiao had given him and swallowed it.
Boom!
In but an instant, seemingly endless True Qi surged forth.
A vast and surging aura erupted from Xuan Ning's body. The Yin Yang Two Forms beneath his feet spun rapidly, black and white intertwining as though they had fused together.
His left and right eyes turned black and white respectively, runes flowing through them as he activated the Two Forms Divine Body to its utmost limit without holding anything back!
"Rumble—"
The sword formation trembled as countless Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi brimming with shocking killing intent howled forth, pouring down in a dense, overwhelming torrent like pear blossoms in a rainstorm!
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The explosions continued without end!
Xuan Aotian formed a sword invocation with both hands, driving the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to its peak regardless of the cost!
The two blood brothers had both lost their reason. They wanted only to decide life and death in this arena!
"Enough! Let this end!"
A sudden explosion rang out from within the sword formation!
Like a volcano erupting and magma bursting forth, streams of blazing black-and-white divine light exploded outward. Before everyone's horrified eyes, they directly pierced through the sword formation!
Xuan Aotian's pupils suddenly contracted, disbelief written all over his face!
This was impossible!
Once the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was activated, it could kill even King Sealing Realm experts. Xuan Ning was merely at the Ninth Layer of the Undying Realm, so how could he possibly break through it?!
"Rumble—"
A heaven-shaking boom erupted. The Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword seemed to lose all their radiance as they fell from the air!
Xuan Aotian's expression suddenly changed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood essence!
His aura instantly became utterly listless, his face deathly pale!
Facing the surging, terrifying aftershock, he instinctively raised both hands to block it, but he was blasted away like a kite with its string cut!
"Bang!"
Amid the thick fog filling the sky, Xuan Ning was covered in sword wounds, his robes torn to shreds. He looked like a man of blood.
His incomparably pale face was covered in blood, his aura chaotic as he gasped heavily for breath.
If not for the Rage Yuan Pill Young Master had given him, allowing his cultivation to reach the King Sealing Realm in an instant,
he would likely have died beneath that sword formation just now!
Now that things had come to this, neither of them had any room left to turn back!
Gathering the last shred of strength in his body, Xuan Ning struck out with his right palm. The Yin Yang Two Forms beneath his feet seemed to come alive, transforming into two intertwined Yin Yang dragons that charged toward Xuan Aotian!
"Yin Yang Ancient Scripture, Lifeless Heavenly Net!"
The Yin Yang twin dragons roared as they came, stirring up overwhelming Divine Might. At that moment, an immense sense of death welled up in Xuan Aotian's heart.
Xuan Aotian sensed that if he could not withstand this attack, he would surely die beneath those Yin Yang twin dragons!
"No... I cannot die!"
"You forced me to do this..." Xuan Aotian's face twisted viciously as he brought out his final trump card like a madman!
"You forced me to do this!!"
He roared wildly. In an instant, an extremely eerie black ancient scripture capable of corroding heaven and earth appeared before him!
This tattered ancient scripture had weathered countless hardships and was shrouded in strands of black aura, containing an extremely ominous and unknown presence that did not belong to this world!
