Perish Together

"The Aurora Emperor is far stronger than I imagined. Under this kind of swordsmanship, I have almost no power to resist!"

Baili Qingfeng watched the Aurora Emperor raise his sword once more and gather his Sword Intent. He felt as if he did not even have time to catch his breath, let alone sing.

The Aurora Emperor's swordsmanship was exquisite beyond compare, having reached the pinnacle. Baili Qingfeng felt as if he were not facing a martial artist, but an entire world.

The instant his opponent's sword came crashing down, heaven and earth collapsed. That vast and mighty destructive force suppressed the mind and shook the soul, its effect nearly comparable to a Spirit Refinement Technique. Under such swordsmanship, he could find no chance to counterattack at all and could only passively block again and again!

Close combat?

Fight to the death?

His opponent's swordsmanship locked down the void. There was nowhere to retreat and nowhere to evade. The instant he failed to close in, he would be cut down outright.

After all, although his Flesh Body had astonishing toughness after being strengthened by Supreme First-Rate Gold, it still could not withstand a second-stage supreme powerhouse wielding a sword against him. Flesh was ultimately still flesh; at most, it could block sword aura and ward off sword qi.

As for fleeing...

If he truly fled, the Aurora Emperor could not stop him!

But in today's battle, he had thrown everything into the fight. His mind held only the conviction to battle forward without turning back. Not to mention whether he would flee at a time like this—even if he truly escaped, his spirit would be utterly crushed, and he would live beneath the Aurora Emperor's shadow for the rest of his life.

Therefore...

"Hold out! I have to hold out!
