The instant the long blade fell, the Blade Qi formed from its thunderflame merged with the Blade Force behind him, then became a surging river of Blade Qi that slashed down.
Boom!
With another tremendous crash, not only did Xu Taiping cut through the water vapor swirling around the Shadow Lord, but he also carved a thunderflame blade wound across his body.
The Shadow Lord glanced at Xu Taiping before him, then at his own chest. A trace of terror appeared in his eyes as he said:
"How could a Great Luo Realm expert appear in Shejitian? This is impossible!"

As he spoke, Ping'an, clad in the Heavy-Fortification Armor, unleashed the Ape Demon Art with all his strength while settling into his Fist Stance, then drove a heavy punch at the Shadow Lord.
Bam-!
Amid the tremendous crash, the Shadow Lord, already badly wounded by Xu Taiping's slash, was sent flying backward by Ping'an's punch.
Boom!!
Xu Taiping sprinted up to him, assumed the punching posture of the Heaven-Shaking Fist Heaven-Touching Stance, and hurled a fist at him.

The instant he punched, not only did four divine manifestations appear behind him in a posture of pushing against his back, but nine more divine manifestations appeared before him, each assuming the same Heaven-Touching Stance.
Boom! Boom, boom!!!
The next moment, just as Xu Taiping's fist struck the Shadow Lord again, those nine divine manifestations slammed into him one after another as though crashing into the heavens.

Amid the deafening crashes, the Shadow Lord's body visibly broke apart and dispersed under the impacts.
At last, he could not help roaring:
"Sword Bone!
