Heaven-Slaying!
Three Chi Seven had waited who knew how long for this move. Now that Cui Jiuyang had finally given the command, a surge of jubilant delight instantly came from the sword!
Vast spiritual power coursed through the blade, and surging sword intent hung like an inverted Milky Way.
Three Chi Seven instantly appeared high above.
All light vanished.
All sound fell silent.
In that lightless, soundless world.
A red line stretched from heaven to earth, cleaving through everything that had fallen still.
Its sword light dim, Three Chi Seven flew back before Cui Jiuyang. Seventy percent of his spiritual power was already gone, and the remaining thirty percent was circulating madly through his meridians to replenish it.
Looking at the old Dragon King again, he stood rigid and motionless, the Four Seas Seal suspended above his head without so much as a splash of surging water.
After a long while, the sound of cracking stone rang out.
A closer look revealed that a piece the size of a fingernail had broken off one corner of the Four Seas Seal.
The Hair-Binding Golden Crown on the old Dragon King's head had split down the middle into two halves. The cut was perfectly smooth, clearly severed by sword light.
Cui Jiuyang did not know where that strike had actually landed. After all, half of it had depended on his spiritual power and technique, while the other half had depended on Three Chi Seven's nurturing. It had not been entirely under his control.
Could one strike really slay the Dragon King?
Surely it wasn't that powerful... this was the old Dragon King...
Besides, at the instant Heaven-Slaying struck, the old loach seemed to have broken free of the Dragon-Trapping Method and blocked most of the sword light with the Four Seas Seal.
