Yang Zhu's chest heaved, his expression shifting between livid anger and horror.
His hands still trembled, as though the lingering force of that last exchange was still coursing through his body.
Towering waves of shock surged through Yang Zhu's heart.
He was at the true martial third layer peak, three cultivation layers above Qin Hao, and had reached heart-soul realm great accomplishment, only a step away from perfection.
Yet even so, Qin Hao had suppressed him with ten treasure swords!
Not only that, Yang Zhu had a feeling that if the battle continued like this, he would suffer certain defeat within a hundred exchanges!
Unfortunately, he had no idea that Qin Hao was not at the meridian opening ninth layer peak, but at the true martial realm second layer early stage!
Moreover, Qin Hao had two great spiritual vortexes within his body!
Not every warrior could form a spiritual vortex in their dantian upon reaching the true martial realm.
Yang Zhu had none.
And with Qin Hao's two great spiritual vortexes... although his cultivation appeared to be one layer below Yang Zhu's, the sheer abundance and purity of his true essence were enough to crush Yang Zhu completely.
That was without even mentioning that Qin Hao practiced the heaven-rank sword art, the Supreme Clarity Sword Control Art. According to its description, once he reached major accomplishment, he could control a thousand treasure swords at once.
They would form a true Supreme Clarity Sword Formation of terrifying power! If all thousand treasure swords were earth-grade or even heaven-grade weapons, they could threaten even a Venerable!
One could well imagine how formidable the Supreme Clarity Sword Control Art was.
Under these circumstances, Yang Zhu's ability to withstand a Supreme Clarity Sword Formation composed of ten treasure swords was already remarkable.
