A Sword Buries an Era

Looking at the words before him.

Ren Xiaoyao naturally did not hesitate in the slightest.

He chose the second option.

Ren Xiaoyao then used his spiritual sense to perceive everything within the Imperial Observatory. Every Martial Artist who had arrived at the Imperial Observatory fell under the scrutiny of his spiritual sense.

As for the other Martial Artists.

Ren Xiaoyao's spiritual sense swept over them.

There were more than three hundred sect master-level figures.

Their strength was basically at the peak of the True Man Realm.

Among them, there were three people.

Who, like Li Chunfeng, were in the Heavenly Human Realm.

Though they possessed some strength.

They still did not enter Ren Xiaoyao's eyes.

Xiao Qingfeng was naturally the target of Ren Xiaoyao's focused investigation.

"This Xiao Qingfeng is indeed no simple man. The power contained within his body is equivalent to that of three ordinary Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists. If Master fought him alone, he would not stand any chance of winning."

Even someone as powerful as Xiao Qingfeng.

Had no secrets at all in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes.

However.

Just as Ren Xiaoyao's spiritual sense was probing Xiao Qingfeng.

Xiao Qingfeng could not help but frown.

He felt that somewhere in the unseen, a pair of eyes seemed to be spying on him. Yet Xiao Qingfeng could not find the source of that gaze. He shook his head, dismissing it as an illusion.

At that moment.

Xiao Qingfeng's gaze also fell upon Li Chunfeng, and he said.

"Li Chunfeng, since you insist on going your own way today, there is nothing I can do. I would like to see whether you alone can withstand the renowned masters and powerful figures of the entire Dagān Jianghu!"

Xiao Qingfeng was not exaggerating in the slightest.

Four Heavenly Human Realm experts.

More than three hundred True Man Realm experts.

They represented the entire Dagān Jianghu.

When Li Chunfeng felt the terrifying killing intent emanating from the more than three hundred Jianghu experts before him.

Even his scalp tingled.

He felt as though he could barely breathe.

This aura was far too terrifying. If Li Chunfeng had truly been alone, then even as a Heavenly Human Realm expert, he absolutely would not have been able to contend against so many masters.

But now.

As the light on the Great Sun Divine Sword in his hand gradually emerged.

Li Chunfeng knew.

Ren Xiaoyao had already begun his Void-Distance Sword Control.

Li Chunfeng's robe billowed. Raising the Great Sun Divine Sword, now shining with brilliant light, he laughed. "In that case, I truly would like to see whether this so-called Dagān Jianghu can crush me, Li Chunfeng!"

"Li Chunfeng!"

At that moment.

Within the crowd.

An old man with a head full of white hair.

Was the first to charge out, saying coldly.

"Let alone you—a mere junior—what right do you have to act arrogantly before us? When this old man entered the Heavenly Human Realm, there was not even a person like you in the Jianghu!"

This old man was also one of the four great Heavenly Human Realm experts among the crowd.

The supreme Martial Arts Master of fifty years ago.

Gu Botong.

Within the crowd.

The more than three hundred True Man Realm Martial Artists.

All wore grave expressions as they watched Gu Botong charge toward Li Chunfeng to kill him.

These Martial Artists were all Martial Arts prodigies of the previous era, nearly all from the same period as Gu Botong. At this moment, they recalled the fear of being dominated by Gu Botong in those days.

Gu Botong cultivated the most basic Golden Bell Shield.

Yet his talent was terrifying.

From the Golden Bell Shield, he had comprehended a peerless art that had dominated the martial world for decades.

The Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill!

The moment the divine skill emerged.

Gu Botong's entire body took on a faint golden hue, like an angry-eyed vajra descending from the heavens into the mortal world. He charged head-on and blasted toward Li Chunfeng.

"What an Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill!"

Although Xiao Qingfeng's strength now far surpassed Gu Botong's.

He still only felt how ferocious and terrifying Gu Botong's strength was.

It could not be confronted head-on.

This was nothing like an old man nearing a hundred years of age.

He was more like a fierce tiger with qi and blood surging to the heavens, roaring in rage.

But at that moment.

Clang!

The Great Sun Divine Sword in Li Chunfeng's hand merely slashed through the air. In an instant, a towering wave of sword qi shattered the void and cut toward Gu Botong.

Gu Botong was struck by that sword qi.

A thunderous metallic boom rang out.

Disbelief filled his eyes.

He was sent flying dozens of meters.

Before crashing heavily onto the ground.

Upon his chest.

A grim and horrifying wound appeared.

Blood gushed out in torrents.

This scene made every Martial Artist present feel as though their scalps were tingling.

Gu Botong's greatest strength was his Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill.

Invulnerable to blades and spears, invulnerable to water and fire.

Yet now.

Even a single strand of Li Chunfeng's sword qi.

Had severely wounded him in an instant!

How terrifying was this?

Xiao Qingfeng had originally stood high above all others, looking down upon everything with the air of one holding the victory in his grasp. But now, he only felt that his judgment seemed to have been wrong!

Li Chunfeng looked at the sword he had cut out without much emotional fluctuation. He even knew that Ren Xiaoyao had deliberately held back.

Because Li Chunfeng knew Ren Xiaoyao's methods.

Not long ago, Ren Xiaoyao had Personally Attacked.

With one sword, mountains collapsed and earth cracked.

He directly killed the six Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists of Qianqiu Pavilion in seconds.

Li Chunfeng smiled as he looked at the Martial Arts Masters beneath the steps. "Everyone, disperse now, and I can let bygones be bygones. If you remain stubbornly obsessed, then today I can only unleash a massacre!"

Xiao Qingfeng Snorted Coldly and said, "What a Li Chunfeng. I underestimated you, but if you wish to contend against me, you still lack the qualifications!"

At once.

Xiao Qingfeng's aura suddenly erupted.

True essence surged throughout his body, and killing intent rolled forth.

The other Martial Arts Masters, after their brief shock, also regained their frenzied expressions, as though they wished to swallow Li Chunfeng alive.

For these Martial Arts Masters.

They had already reached the end of their lives.

They did not have many years left to live.

If they could not obtain the Ten-thousand-year Ginseng.

They would be buried beneath yellow earth anyway.

Naturally, they would not hesitate to pay any price.

To seize the Ten-thousand-year Ginseng.

And live another life.

Within the Imperial Observatory, Song Duanyang, Bai Su, and Yao Luochen stood atop the mountain peak.

Seeing this scene, their hearts trembled, for they had no confidence at all that Li Chunfeng could handle everything while besieged by so many people.

"The sky is falling!"

Everyone wore bitter expressions.

Only Li Chunfeng looked at the Great Sun Divine Sword in his hand, his gaze firm.

If the sky fell.

Ren Xiaoyao would still hold it up!

At that moment.

Xiao Qingfeng's aura had already risen to its limit. He knew there was something strange about Li Chunfeng, so he did not dare be careless in the slightest. He used All Power, like a war god descending into the world.

It was precisely because Xiao Qingfeng was too powerful.

That the remaining Martial Arts Masters did not immediately think of besieging Li Chunfeng. They wanted to see what kind of magnificent battle these two great masters, Li Chunfeng and Xiao Qingfeng, could erupt into!

Who would win and who would lose was still unknown.

But.

This battle would certainly be the most terrifying battle they had witnessed in their lives!

Boom!

Xiao Qingfeng was the first to charge toward Li Chunfeng.

Around his body emerged the Grand Taiji Evolution Tome, transformed from true essence.

This tome was like a millstone.

It sought to crush everything wherever it went.

The Great Sun Divine Sword in Li Chunfeng's hand trembled lightly, then directly left his grasp and pierced toward Xiao Qingfeng's chest at a speed several times faster than lightning.

"This sword!"

Xiao Qingfeng instinctively wanted to block this sword.

But this sword was simply too fast, far beyond Xiao Qingfeng's reaction speed. By the time Xiao Qingfeng reacted, the Great Sun Divine Sword had already pierced through his chest.

Thud!

Xiao Qingfeng's chest exploded. He only felt the true essence within his body vanish completely in that instant. All life left his body, and he crashed heavily onto the ground.

He coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood.

Looking at the Great Sun Divine Sword still floating in the void, radiating endless brilliance, he struggled to speak, but could not utter even half a sentence.

Everyone's eyes widened.

They only felt as though they were hallucinating.

They had clearly believed.

That the battle between Xiao Qingfeng and Li Chunfeng had not even begun.

Yet.

Xiao Qingfeng had now lost more than half his life.

How could he still possess even a shred of fighting strength?

Li Chunfeng was truly startled as well, but he managed to steady his emotions and loudly said, "Who else wishes to experience my Void-Distance Sword Control?"

For a time.

Among the more than three hundred Martial Arts Masters.

Not a single person dared respond.

But at that moment.

Gu Botong clutched the bloody wound on his chest and roared.

"We are people already waiting to die! That Ten-thousand-year Ginseng is our only path to survival. If you will not let us obtain the Ten-thousand-year Ginseng, then we would rather have jade and stone shattered together with you!"

"Kill!"

Other Martial Artists in the crowd also roared angrily.

"Li Chunfeng's true essence is limited as well! We can exhaust all the true essence within his body. As long as we can hold out until then, there will certainly still be a chance!"

In an instant.

Killing intent boiled over.

But when Li Chunfeng saw this.

He shook his head.

He actually wanted to complain that even if all these Martial Artists were wiped out, his true essence would not be exhausted, nor would even half a trace be consumed.

Because the one controlling the sword from afar.

It was not himself at all.

Ren Xiaoyao had also sensed the madness of those three hundred-plus Martial Arts Masters.

They were like gamblers who had staked everything.

They had never considered a path of retreat.

Even if these three hundred-plus Martial Arts Masters ultimately obtained the Ten-thousand-year Ginseng, they would still slaughter one another until only the last person remained alive to possess it.

This Battle.

It was destined to be a fight to the death.

Since that was the case.

Ren Xiaoyao would not show mercy either.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Great Sun Divine Sword darted back and forth among those Martial Arts Masters.

Accompanied by wave after wave of sword radiance piercing through them.

No sound could be heard anymore.

The wind blew past.

There was only an endless fishy smell of blood.

On the steps leading up Fulong Mountain.

Corpse after corpse lay scattered.

These prodigies of Dagān Martial Arts from the previous era, the most terrifying group in all of Dagān Jianghu, had all fallen into pools of blood.

On their faces.

Without a single exception.

There was nothing but terror.

Even in death, they could not understand.

Why in this world.

There could be such a terrifying sword.

And atop the lightning.

Song Duanyang, Bai Su, and Yao Luochen watched the scene before them.

They only felt their entire bodies trembling.

They too felt as though they had seen a ghost.

Within the void.

The Great Sun Divine Sword appeared.

Still dazzling.

Before his will completely dissipated, Xiao Qingfeng stared at the divine sword like a blazing sun. He seemed to have countless words he wanted to roar out, yet he could not utter a single sentence.

He knew.

This Great Sun Divine Sword.

Had not merely buried him.

It had also buried an era of Dagān Jianghu.
