Before he finished speaking, Ning Chuan vanished!
The next instant, he appeared before Yue Xiaofei. His fingers curled into claws, and he lunged for Yue Xiaofei's throat with a chilling gust of force!
Ning Chuan was fast, and his attack was vicious. He held nothing back. He clearly meant to kill Yue Xiaofei in one move!
Ning Chuan was every bit as strong as Hu Jiumei and the others Yue Xiaofei had faced before!
If anything, his technique was even more refined and ruthless!
Yet faced with that deadly strike,
Yue Xiaofei showed no trace of panic. He could barely be bothered to lift an eyelid.
Just as Ning Chuan's claws were about to touch his skin,
he moved.
He used no elaborate technique. He simply thrust the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber forward!
The fourth form of the Eight Formulas for Breaking the Edge!
Advancing Sprint Chest Stab!
He had used this move hundreds, perhaps thousands of times amid the armies at Changbai Mountain!
He knew it by heart. His blade now followed his intent without hesitation!
His movement was simple, direct, and devastatingly efficient!
He struck second but landed first!
Shnk!
The muffled sound of steel piercing flesh rang out.
Ning Chuan's claws hung in midair, still an inch from Yue Xiaofei's throat.
But the tip of Yue Xiaofei's saber had already pierced straight through his chest!
"Urgh..."
The arrogance and mockery on Ning Chuan's face froze, replaced by utter shock and disbelief.
He looked down at the ancient-looking blade protruding from his chest. His mouth opened as if he wanted to speak.
But the next instant, Yue Xiaofei flicked his wrist.
An overwhelming surge of saber energy erupted inside Ning Chuan!
Boom!
Ning Chuan's body exploded like a detonated charge!
Chunks of flesh and blood sprayed across
