Ten-Mile Maple Forest, an unseen Minor World, an ultra-fast clash, the battle reached a white-hot pitch.
Mu Chengxue, who had mastered the Scroll of Motion, possessed speed Peerless Under Heaven, gravely injuring Ning Chen.
The Taishang Divine Sword pierced through his chest. Blood trickled from Ning Chen's lips as he barely steadied himself.
The phoenix flames soaring across the sky could not stop the sword-light's extreme speed. In the void, sword-wings trembled behind Mu Chengxue's back, her speed unbelievably swift.
The strongest Taishang had endured a hundred calamities and finally reached her current realm, above the Saints and infinitely close to the realm of the God of All Gods.
Facing such a powerful opponent, Ning Chen, swordless, had completely fallen into the disadvantage and suffered grievous wounds.
Within the Minor World, maple leaves drifted in one after another, crimson as blood.
"From the beginning of time until today, through the reincarnation of a hundred lives—today, all grudges and debts should be settled."
In Mu Chengxue's hand, strange light rose from the Taishang Divine Sword. In a flash before the eye, she moved.
There was no time to react; even divine sense could not detect it. She was so fast that even time could not record her. The wind stopped, the clouds froze.
By a warrior's instinct, Ning Chen swung his sword to block. Yet a move launched later would ultimately remain at another's mercy.
"Ugh!"
The twin swords collided, and terrifying sword-force crashed down. Ning Chen let out a muffled groan, staggering several steps back.
Splattered blood dyed the fallen leaves red. Maple red—yet blood was redder still.
The tilted battle had been expected. How could swordless Ning Chen defy heaven and change his fate against the Taishang Dao that had returned after a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation?
