Having thought it through, Poison Maitreya's eyes flashed with fierce killing intent once more. Rather than slowing, he accelerated. He produced a jet-black spike, but just as he was about to act, a startling killing intent struck from behind.
Poison Maitreya's heart turned cold. The killing intent at his back gave him a sense of threat more severe than anything he had ever felt. Even Xiang Tieta and his Demon-Subduing Golden Whip would have had to pay a certain price to deal with him, and killing him was not something that could be accomplished in a short time. After all, among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the three great alliances, he ranked in the top ten. Other than the very few at the very top, the gap between the rest was not too pronounced.
Yet the magic artifact attacking from behind was the first thing that made him feel death was so close at hand.
Poison Maitreya no longer had time to kill Luo Qing. He spun around and raised the spike in his hand to block.
Boom! Amid the violent collision of force, Poison Maitreya vomited blood and flew backward. An irresistible, overwhelming force had exceeded the limit of what he could withstand.
Yet the golden saber hesitated not in the slightest. While Poison Maitreya was still unable to bear that force, it slashed at his neck again. Poison Maitreya mustered the last of his strength to defend himself, but his hand was knocked aside once more by the Earthsplitter Saber. The savage force upon the Earthsplitter Saber seemed utterly beyond his ability to resist. After batting away Poison Maitreya's black spike, the Earthsplitter Saber swept through his neck in one stroke, bringing forth a great spray of blood and a severed head.
Broken Saber watched the scene before
