At that moment, everyone—Duanmu Xuan, Xu Batian, Xia Weize, Qi Mu, Zuo Yichuan, and the rest—stood frozen.
Many gaped, disbelief written across their faces.
So Qin Hao had not used his full strength against Xu Batian. He had not even gone all out when Slaying Qu Yongyang!
"Is that really a seventh-order Vitality Sword Domain?"
The Red-Clad Woman's pupils contracted. She looked sharply at the Handsome Young Man, the severity in her eyes gone, replaced by wariness.
She took a deep breath and looked back at Qin Hao. "His seventh-order Vitality Sword Domain is growing stronger. It isn't far from breaking through to the eighth order."
"Just as I thought."
The Red-Clad Woman had lost every trace of her earlier disdain. She now regarded Qin Hao with utmost gravity.
She did not know whether the Handsome Young Man and Lu Yidao could handle Qin Hao. But if it were up to her...
The Red-Clad Woman considered herself strong, yet she no longer dared say she could suppress him.
"Heh. You had another trick up your sleeve. So this is your true strength?" Lu Yidao, who had brought his saber down in a slash, paused for an instant. Then a twisted excitement spread across his face.
"A half-step Destruction Sword Domain and a seventh-order Vitality Sword Domain. Impressive, but you're still nowhere near me. I command a ninth-order Blade Domain and half-step Earth Laws. You're not ready to fight me—"
As Lu Yidao spoke, his excitement only grew.
Like the Destruction Sword Domain, the Vitality Sword Domain was a special domain. Its presence and power far surpassed those of an ordinary domain.
But Lu Yidao had reason for his arrogance. Both his domains had reached the ninth order. His ninth-order Blade Domain alone could crush Qin Hao's seventh-order Vitality Sword Domain...
