"Hahahaha... Of course I can fight! Even if my arms are broken, I still have my legs!"

[ Silver-Armored Berserker ] spat out a mouthful of blood, his arms hanging limply at his sides. He then leaped into the air, catching the luxurious silver sword that had just been knocked to the ground between his feet. With a slight push, the sword rebounded, and his feet gripped the hilt, allowing him to once again become one with his sword. His body spun rapidly in the air like a giant top, his sword flashing as it hurtled towards him like a bolt of lightning.

Ding ding ding ding!

The twin swords, symbolizing joy and sorrow, trembled violently once more, accompanied by the melodious, lingering sound of wind chimes.

But only the one who was within the [ One Sword Sorrows, Joys, Partings, and Reunions Sword Formation ] truly understood just how terrifying such a demonic sound, like a wind chime, really was.

Unfortunately, the Silver-Armored Berserker was already severely injured. Even at his peak, he couldn't do anything to One Sword, so how could he possibly harm One Sword now that he was seriously wounded?

The experts watching had already realized that the [ Silver-Armored Berserker's] swordsmanship and sword formation were indeed incredibly profound, bordering on divine. However, such unparalleled swordsmanship lacked the matching Dou Qi qi strength to support it. If the [ Silver-Armored Berserker's] Dou Qi qi level had reached the Six-Star Class level, [ One Sword ] would undoubtedly have been defeated. Unfortunately, his Dou Qi qi level was only at the Four-Star Class Initial Stage level, making it impossible for him to fully unleash the true destructive power of this swordsmanship and the [ Sorrows, Joys, Partings, and Reunions Sword Formation ]. What could be done?

Clang!

[ One Sword ] finally drew its sword.

The sword light was like the sun and stars in the sky, dazzling and blinding, yet it revealed eternity in a mere instant.

"Ugh... Pfft!!!"

With a muffled groan, in the blink of an eye, the swordsman of the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ], who was wielding a sword that flashed with cold light in mid-air, was instantly forced back.

Blood gushed from his mouth, and the luxurious silver sword he had been holding between his legs was knocked away with a mournful cry, falling twenty meters away. The tip of the sword embedded itself in the hard stone, and the blade continued to tremble. His legs bore deep, bone-deep wounds, a horrifying sight that chilled the heart.

This is already the least serious injury.

If [ One Sword ] hadn't been caught in the [ Sorrows, Joys, Partings, and Reunions Sword Formation ], causing his emotions to be in disarray and his strength to plummet, and if he hadn't relied on his astonishing swordsmanship of body and sword as one to parry and Avoid at the critical moment, perhaps [ Silver-Armored Berserker ]'s legs would have already been severed cleanly by now, because everyone could see that [ One Sword ] hadn't shown any mercy when he struck with his sword.

Clang!

At the same time, two flashes of silver light appeared.

The [ Sorrows, Joys, Partings, and Reunions Sword Formation ] was broken by this wisp of supreme sword energy and could no longer be maintained. The [ Sorrow and Joy Sword and Sorrow] and the [ Parting and Reunion Sword ] let out a series of mournful cries, rose from the ground, and like fledglings returning to their nests, gently planted themselves on both sides of the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ]!

Bang!

"Well..."

He fell heavily to the ground, unable to stand, and blood gushed from the wound on his thigh like a Silver-Armored Berserker.

Despite this, he refused to lie down, enduring excruciating pain, and forced himself to sit still. Waves of agony throbbed from the fractures in his arms and legs, but his expression remained unchanged, instead becoming even more manic. He threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, hahaha, what? You've finally decided to kill me? Hahaha, [ One Sword ] ah [ One Sword ], bah! You've only ever used One Sword in your life! Bah! You're finally going to tear off your disguise? You're no match for King of Chambord, far inferior! Hahaha, I've said those words again, what can you do about it, kill me?"

He collapsed to the ground, covered in blood, but the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ]'s madness only grew more uncontrollable. He remained arrogant and refused to yield or submit.

"If you can't use your legs or your hands, how can you still use a sword?"

[ One Sword ] smiled coldly, holding a rusty sword in his hand. He gently brushed away the strings of blood droplets slowly rolling down its surface with one hand, and then lightly blew away the blood that stained his fingers. His movements were extremely light and elegant, but the chill in his tone made the tens of thousands of people watching the sword-testing platform feel a chill down their spines as if they were in an ice cave.

"I surrender!"

"Admit defeat quickly!"

"You've done your best, pushing yourself to this extent. No one will ever laugh at you again for being an arrogant idiot, an ignorant madman!"

Some people below the testing platform couldn't help but shout.

For some reason, this dramatic showdown has progressed to this point, and many who initially disliked the arrogant and disrespectful attitude of the [Silver Silver-Armored Berserker ] have changed their minds and quietly sided with this arrogant and conceited young Prince. They all hope that the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] will quickly admit defeat at this moment, so that he can perhaps save his life. Meanwhile, the girls who were originally infatuated with the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] are in tears, their excitement beyond measure.

However, the young man on the testing platform truly displayed his 'arrogance'.

"Hahaha, of course I can still use a sword!"

With a long laugh, the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ]'s broken arm slammed heavily on the ground, followed by another cracking sound of bones breaking. Using this moment as leverage, he leaped into the air, headfirst and footfed, and caught the [ Nameless Sword ] in his mouth. With a flick of his head, two soft clangs rang out, and the [ Sorrow and Joy Sword ] and [ Parting and Reunion Sword ], stuck in the ground, were flung away like two arrows, shooting unstoppable towards the distant [ One Sword ].

call out!

[ One Sword ]'s eyes lit up, and he drew his sword again without hesitation.

The sword light, as sharp as a bolt of lightning, seemed to tear through the void. Its chilling aura contained an indescribable terror. It was indestructible and unstoppable, striking the [ Sorrow and Joy Sword ] and the [ Parting and Reunion Sword ] with pinpoint accuracy. The two swords flew back and crashed heavily into the [ Water Curtain Heaven Flower ] barrier in the distance, shattering it and disappearing into the distant sky, their whereabouts unknown.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

With a sword in his mouth, the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] spun around rapidly, hurtling towards [ One Sword ] like a wildly spinning drill. The silver sword light and his rapidly spinning figure created a terrifying gust of wind.

This attack was made with a desperate, all-or-nothing mentality.

"What a pity, I didn't want to kill you!"

Standing still, [ One Sword ] sighed softly, but his eyes clearly did not contain the regret that his words did. Without the slightest hesitation, his hand gripping the sword trembled, and the rusty longsword suddenly became crystal clear and dazzling, without the slightest flaw. It shone like a divine sword with brilliant light.

With a flick of his sword, Han Shuo's sword energy erupted once more.

This is a true killing sword.

No one can describe the elegance of this One Sword, no one can describe One Sword sharpness, and no one can describe One Sword perfection!

Faced with such a ray of sword light, any opponent could only feel despair.

This One Sword was absolutely beyond what the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] could withstand. Even someone who didn't understand martial arts could sense that with just one contact, he and the [ Nameless Sword ] in his mouth would be shredded into a pile of minced meat, like fresh meat under a meat grinder, turning into a cloud of blood mist drifting in the cold winter.

Ding ding ding ding!

Clang clang clang clang!!

The silver ribbon and the peerless sword light intertwined.

In an instant, the sparks that erupted from the point of clash blinded everyone. Wave after wave of transparent shockwaves spread wildly, like the cataclysmic destruction at the beginning of creation, or the collapse of the earth at the end of the world. A tragic atmosphere permeated the air. Then, the Number One Sword-Testing Platform began to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse. Smoke and dust billowed, and stone chips filled the sky. From the smoke and stone chips, bursts of dazzling blood flowers continuously erupted, both beautiful and cruel!

For a very long time.

The ejected Mars finally disappeared.

Smoke and stone chips no longer rise up.

On the testing platform, all movement ceased. Amidst the billowing dust, the outcome of the final duel could not be seen immediately.

"Is it over? Is it finally over?" someone in the audience whispered in disbelief.

"Is he dead? No way? Could such a madman really be dead?" Some people didn't want to see the final outcome.

"[ One Sword ] is still the invincible [ One Sword ]. Although he unleashed a second strike in this match, the outcome was as many predicted beforehand. However, while everyone guessed the ending, no one guessed the process!"

In the silent crowd, only a few people were talking to themselves in a daze.

In the VIP viewing area, many experts had already stood up from their seats, their eyes fixed on the dust-filled Number One Sword-Testing Platform, waiting for the dust to settle.

Only Sun Fei and the Magic Princess [ First Goddess ] Xindi sat in their respective seats. The [ First Goddess ] stared at Sun Fei with a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes, while Sun Fei wore a faint smile on his face.

After a long while, the dust finally settled.

People saw--

sword!

There was blood on the sword!

The blood is not the enemy's blood, but the swordsman's own blood.

The sword still trembled slightly, as if it had been struck by some incredible force and was groaning.

The hand gripping the sword was clearly visible; several bloody gashes were visible at the base of the thumb, from which streaks of blood slowly trickled down the hilt, the blade, the body, the edge, and the tip, finally dripping onto the dust on the ground, creating tiny specks of dust.

The hand that holds the sword is the hand that One Sword.

Is [ One Sword ] injured?

The silent crowd erupted into an incredible uproar.

Only those who paid close attention noticed that [ One Sword ]'s expression was extremely strange.

His expression was one of extreme anger, yet also one of suppressing something. His body was even trembling slightly, but his eyes were filled with shock, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable. A variety of expressions appeared on his face in an instant, an expression even more complex than when he was in the [ Sorrows, Joys, Partings, and Reunions Sword Formation ]!

Thirty meters behind [ One Sword ], [ Silver-Armored Berserker ], covered in blood, collapsed onto the hard ground, his crimson blood silently soaking into the stones.
