"Rumble!"
Amid the piercing shriek of wind being cleaved, Song Tianchou's blade swept ever wider and hacked ever harder. He seemed to have become a storm of blades, howling and roaring as it sought to devour Xu Taiping before him.
Sect Master Duan and his wife thought Xu Taiping would at least have to retreat before its edge this time. But to their utter astonishment, Xu Taiping saw through every stroke Song Tianchou made within the Blade Domain.
"Swish!"
Amid a piercing whistle through the air, Xu Taiping moved with inconceivable speed, evading every stroke from Song Tianchou while once again slashing at an unimaginable speed to leave a deep wound on his body.
This was precisely the second Blade Domain Power of Xu Taiping.
Within the Blade Domain, every attack against him appeared slower in his eyes, while his own attacks became faster.
Although the first Blade Domain Power was immensely powerful, its consumption of True Essence and Blood Qi was so great that it drew on his future vitality. Thus, after Opening the Blade Domain, Xu Taiping now generally used only its second power.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Moments later, the clash between the two within the Blade Domain began to turn into a one-sided slaughter by Xu Taiping.
Each stroke came faster and struck more precisely than the last. Whatever adjustments Song Tianchou made, Xu Taiping saw through them immediately.
"Swish!"
Finally, amid a Blade Cry mingled with a Dragon Roar, Xu Taiping sliced off Song Tianchou's head.
His burly body dropped to its knees with a thud.
"You... just who... who are you?"
"There's no way... no way I wouldn't recognize a blade cultivator in Youyun Heaven who can open a Blade Domain!"
Song Tianchou's Primordial Spirit, trapped within the Blade Domain, suddenly roared in bitter defiance.
