Qin Hao was not surprised that Luan Bing refused to act. When Yan Zijun and Duanmu Jie had joined forces to ambush him and Yun Chang, Luan Bing had chosen to turn a blind eye as well.
But even if Luan Bing intervened, Qin Hao had nothing to fear. Although he had only barely entered the first turn of the Nine-Turn Indestructible Body, his divine body was already incredibly powerful.
Earlier, Yan Zijun had struck Qin Hao with several palm attacks in succession, yet he had failed to break through Qin Hao's defenses. He had merely knocked Qin Hao back.
"Yan Zijun, now you can die." Qin Hao's voice was cold, as though it came from the deepest reaches of the Netherworld.
Hearing Qin Hao's words and seeing the sword radiance drawing ever closer, Yan Zijun snapped back to his senses. He retreated frantically in terror. "Qin Hao, do you know who I am? If you kill me, neither heaven nor earth will offer you a way to survive!"
"Still acting arrogant with death staring you in the face."
Qin Hao shook his head, no longer inclined to waste words on Yan Zijun. His figure flashed, and the Heavenly Abyss Sword, already close to Yan Zijun, abruptly accelerated.
Now, even though Yan Zijun retreated desperately to put some distance between them, he could no longer evade it.
Shhk!
The sword radiance, carrying the rumble of thunder, plunged hard into Yan Zijun's chest. Still retreating, Yan Zijun stared in disbelief at the Heavenly Abyss Sword piercing his chest. He slowly raised his head and stared at Qin Hao, trying to speak, but...
Whoosh!
Qin Hao exerted a little force with his right hand, drawing the Heavenly Abyss Sword upward. With a wet slicing sound, it cut straight through Yan Zijun's neck.
