The three eighth-rank powerhouses had joined forces in an all-out assault, yet Gao Xian seized the opening and cleaved Sky Roc's physical body apart with a single sword stroke.
Sky Roc's Yang Spirit fled in panic, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
Red Sun Celestial Venerable and Golden Cicada Demon Emperor, both eighth-rank, were likewise stunned by Gao Xian's strike.
It was not only that Gao Xian's swordsmanship was wondrous and unfathomable, its transformations beyond the sight of all three eighth-rank cultivators. More frightening still, the sword intent driven by Gao Xian's pure Yang divine consciousness was already vastly stronger than that of the three of them.
The sword that had slain Sky Roc's physical body possessed peerless sharpness. Even a body as powerful as Sky Roc's could not withstand a single blow, sending a chill through the hearts of Red Sun Celestial Venerable and Golden Cicada Demon Emperor.
Golden Cicada Demon Emperor naturally lost all will to fight. Gao Xian was far too vicious; there was no need for him to stake his life against him.
Red Sun Celestial Venerable saw that Golden Cicada Demon Emperor was contemplating retreat, and he grew anxious. If Golden Cicada fled, he would almost certainly be defeated facing Gao Xian alone.
Only by keeping Golden Cicada here would they retain a few chances of victory.
He hurriedly transmitted his voice to Golden Cicada Demon Emperor with divine consciousness. "In slaying Sky Roc's physical body, Gao Xian has already brought out his strongest peerless sword. This sword should correspond to the Heavenly Baleful Star, gathering endless baleful qi and tempering it into an edge. That is why even Sky Roc could not endure a single stroke. Gao Xian likely relied on this sword to advance to the eighth rank and kill Red Dragon
