"Damn it! Qin Hao was only at the Ninth Layer of Saint Martial Realm. How could he unleash a sword strike with such terrifying power?"
Jiao Hong was shocked and furious. He could not understand how Qin Hao's strike worked. All he had sensed within it were the Half-Step Destruction Laws and the Eighth-Rank Vitality Sword Domain.
It made no sense!
A Venerable Martial Venerable should, in theory, be able to crush a Saint Martial Grandmaster outright.

It was as though this strike could kill him.
"Impossible!"

"Ugh!"
Qin Hao, still hurtling through the air, suddenly paled. The True Essence in his Dantian was draining at a terrifying rate. In
