Xuanchengzi lowered his single eye, reflecting Chen Shuangbai's figure.
He suddenly burst into laughter.
The laughter was hoarse and low, carrying an indescribable meaning.
"Okay... okay..."
He laughed, a mournful laugh, golden blood spurting from his mouth and nose, while his single eye remained fixed on Chen Shuangbai, as if trying to etch that young face into his memory forever. "I have lived for so many years, seen many geniuses, and killed many geniuses."
"I thought there was nothing left in this world that could surprise me... but unexpectedly, at the very end, I actually witnessed a monster capable of slaying two Nascent Soul Late Stage."
He paused, his voice growing even hoarser. "What's even more ridiculous is that I was one of those two who were killed."
Chen Shuangbai didn't say anything, but just watched him laugh wildly.
The laughter carried very, very far.
The news reached the ears of all the cultivators.
This successor of the True Net Cult was in a state that could even be described as ugly.
After he finished laughing, he took a few heavy breaths, feeling the mottled, almost shattered nascent Nascent Soul, before continuing to chuckle, "We cultivators, the victor is king, the loser is a bandit."
"Just kill me then."
"To die at the hands of the Sword Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal wielded Sword Intent... heh, not a bad deal after all!"
Buzz!
On his physical body, within his chest, the remaining cross-shaped comet once again flashed with crimson light.
With a crisp sound, a flat jade talisman fell from the sky and shattered in two.
It was the teleportation talisman that Xuanchengzi showed him during their last encounter.
Upon seeing his rear hand severed, the Nascent Soul Cultivator was initially stunned, but then burst into laughter.
His laughter grew increasingly manic, echoing across the empty battlefield.
There's a sense of resentment at the impending doom, and also a sense of sorrow at this absurd ending.
But Chen Shuangbai just watched quietly from beginning to end.
The crimson light of [ Flowing Scarlet Pearl Pierces Hidden Darkness Sword ] was shining brightly. The activation of all Divine Ability, Law Technique, Secret Method, or talismans in this area was almost inseparable from the sensing of Chen Shuangbai's Sword Intent.
The crimson sword was raised high, and amidst the maniacal laughter, it slashed down!
The comet shone brightly, and the crimson light of the cross intertwined. The overlapping crimson light shuttled back and forth within Xuanchengzi's physical body until his physical body and soul perished in the Sword Intent containing the malevolent intent of the Moon Comet.
This Sword Intent was far more powerful than Divine Ability, and it was also Sword Intent that had comprehended the malevolent intent of the Moon Comet.
Even Nascent Soul Late Stage body was easily pierced by this Sword Intent, then its Divine Ability were lost, its Nascent Soul shattered, and endless colorful light burst out!
Boom!
The entire sky echoed with low, mournful cries.
Endless black and golden light shot into the sky, transforming into numerous wild geese and black sparrows, some landing in the mountains and forests, others returning to nothingness. There were also centipedes crawling all over the ground, squeezing into crevices and falling into pits.
The Nascent Soul has perished.
The fall of Nascent Soul is a momentous event.
Moreover, the fall of a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great True Lord altered the Spiritual Qi flow of the entire Yong Kingdom, causing the mournful cries to echo and reverberate throughout the heavens, a truly terrifying sight.
Several days have passed since the Battle of Yandang Pass.
Thanks to Chen Shuangbai's second Sword Intent, he first severed half of the physical body of True Lord Jinxuan, Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, and then sent Xuan Chengzi, another Nascent Soul Late Stage Xuanchengzi, into annihilation... The subsequent war was practically unnecessary.
The armies of Net Chan Dao and Orthodox Mystery Alliance withdrew from the Yong Kingdom's territory overnight. The armies of the Heavenly Star Alliance and Vast Waves Alliance did not pursue them much, but after pretending to fight a few battles, they also withdrew.
The entire cultivation world was still reeling from the shock of the Nascent Soul Late Stage's demise.
Although Xuanchengzi's appearance was brief, his reputation could not compare to that of the several Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators of his time.
But he was still in the Nascent Soul Late Stage!
He was a successor of the True Net Cult... Although the Renewed Net Sect he founded had a bad reputation, it did indeed benefit many Rogue Cultivator, and even many of the most promising talents from righteous sects joined the Renewed Net Sect.
Could he really have died at the hands of Chen Shuangbai, Nascent Soul Middle Stage?
This is something that has never happened in thousands of years!
The cultivation world within the country appears calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents are surging beneath the surface.
To some extent, it even affected the situation at sea, making the raging Flood Dragon Clan in the outer seas... less imposing than before.
The entire inner and outer seas were eerily calm.
The one who caused this situation Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal—
He is currently resting in a treasure pool within his own sect, [ Azure Firmament Heaven ].
Above the [ Dew Radiance Pool ], water vapor swirls, and sparkling pearls tinkle and fall, making crisp, melodious sounds as they enter the water.
True Lord Qingchen stood by the pool, watching Chen Shuangbai sink into it, and said with a deep gaze, "Good lad!"
"He risked his life to gain a sliver of the Moon Comet True Intention, finally achieving this second Sword Intent... Crazy enough! And daring enough!"
Chen Shuangbai couldn't hear her sect leader's rambling.
He had completely shut down his divine senses and was now submerging his physical body in the treasure pool, using the immense vitality and spiritual energy it contained to repair his damaged physical form.
Although Xuanchengzi's luck wasn't great, his strength was undeniable; he was a true Nascent Soul Late Stage.
Chen Shuangbai hadn't defended himself much and was struck by that golden energy dagger, damaging his physical body and soul... After the battle, he was sent back to the Jade Spring Sect by Qingsongzi and is currently recuperating there.
After this battle, True Lord Jihai immediately sent a message to True Lord Qingchen, asking him to return and take care of the sect.
Upon hearing that Chen Shuangbai was injured, True Lord Qingchen abandoned his pursuit of Yan Nanlai and returned to the Jade Spring Sect. He is now guarding the [ Dew Radiance Pool ] to prevent any further unforeseen events.
A light drizzle fell from nowhere, and the light of the clear pool dripped onto the lake of the heart. Yajie, idly sitting on a rock, weighed several rolling blue lightning balls in his hand, and said in a somewhat enigmatic tone:
"On the verge of death, he comprehended a second Sword Intent..."
" Qingchen, there's something I'm about to say that you might not like to hear."
"Then don't say it."
The voice of True Lord Qingchen floated unceremoniously on the surface of my heart.
But the Green Chi seemed not to hear, muttering to itself, "Those who enjoy risky battles are more easily harmed by the little bit of wishful thinking they harbor."
" Qingchen, you've placed all the hopes of the Jade Spring Sect on this kid, it's just a pity..."
Qingchen interrupted the Green Chi, instead resorting to sarcasm.
"Such sharp teeth and witty remarks, but I always feel... there's a hint of sourness mixed in?"
The Green Chi turned its eerie, pale blue dragon eyes and let out a cold snort.
then.
The rain on the lake gradually intensified, completely obscuring its form.
