As that supremely arrogant declaration rang out, Ji Heng slowly closed his eyes, his expression turning devout.
The Spirit Sword Sect disciples watching nearby erupted with excitement!
"War smoke rose across seventy-two commanderies; over eight thousand miles, he slew demons and returned! Will we witness the heaven-defying sword divine ability of our founding patriarch, True Person Taicang, again today?" The disciple spoke excitedly, his voice trembling by the end!
"To think Elder Ji has comprehended the patriarch's forbidden sword divine ability! That rogue cultivator is certain to die today!" another disciple immediately chimed in, his eyes brimming with cruelty.
Another disciple shook his head. "The patriarch's forbidden sword divine ability is far too extreme. Using it can consume one's entire lifespan! Elder Ji Heng should be using one of the three forbidden moves True Person Huoyun adapted from it."
After a pause, the disciple continued, "Though dividing the patriarch's forbidden move into three greatly reduced its power, it is still far beyond anything this rogue cultivator can withstand!"
By now, the Spirit Sword Sect disciples had retreated far away. Battles between Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were simply too terrifying for them; even a trace of escaping magic power could severely injure a Qi Refining cultivator.
On the battlefield, Xu Yan's expression remained unchanged. He had already anticipated this, so when Ji Heng's supremely arrogant declaration rang out, he scoffed, "All smoke and mirrors! Today is the day you die!"
Xu Yan's disdainful words instantly ignited Ji Heng's fury. His closed eyes snapped open, blazing like two shafts of heavenly light.
At the same time, a thunderous rumbling came from within his body, and an immensely powerful aura rose from him!
"Taicang Demon-Slaying Art! Slash!"
As the word "slash" rang out, streams of blood energy burst from Ji Heng's body
