The sword formation was activated.
The thirteen Sword Qi overlapped and eventually transformed into a golden giant sword nearly a hundred feet long.
A sickly flush rose to Nangong Wuhen's face as he gripped his sword with both hands and brought it down on Chu Yunfei's head.
A giant golden sword swept across the sky.
A strong wind whipped up dust, causing cracks to appear on the surface of the stone peak.
Lightning crackled beneath Chu Yunfei's feet, but he did not dodge.
The Abyss-Devouring Sword slashed forward.
The Sea-Overturning Ninefold Sword.
The third sword!
The three sword auras converged layer by layer, and the dark gold sword light collided head-on with the golden greatsword.
Boom!
A violent shockwave spread outwards.
The golden greatsword lasted only two breaths before large cracks appeared on its blade.
Nangong Wuhen's eyes widened as he desperately poured his spiritual energy into the sword formation.
"Suppress him for me, Holy Son!"
Click!
The first spirit sword shattered.
Then came the second and the third handles.
In just a few breaths, twelve Earth Rank Middle Grade spirit swords exploded one after another.
The sword formation completely collapsed.
The golden-patterned longsword in Nangong Wuhen's hand was also shaken by the recoil, causing a crack to appear, and he stumbled backward.
Before he could regain his balance, a dark golden lightning bolt flashed before his eyes.
Chu Yunfei was already within reach.
The Abyss-Devouring Sword slashed horizontally.
Nangong Wuhen could only hastily raise his arm to block.
Pfft!
Blood splattered.
An arm, along with half of a robe, flew high into the air.
Nangong Wuhen let out a shrill scream as his body tumbled and crashed to the ground.
He clutched his severed arm, his madness finally replaced by complete fear.
The forbidden pill was upgraded to the Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level.
The Thirteen Heavenly Absolutes Sword Array.
Both of their trump cards were used.
Despite his efforts, he still couldn't withstand several sword strikes from Chu Yunfei.
This is not a fight at all.
Chu Yunfei had been toying with him all along!
Nangong Wuhen struggled to back away, his voice trembling violently.
" Chu Yunfei, stop!"
"What happened back then was indeed my fault. If you spare my life today, all past grievances will be wiped clean."
"I can assure you that the Heavenly Sword Sect will never hunt you down again, and I will no longer contend for the key to the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor's inheritance!"
Chu Yunfei carried the Abyss-Devouring Sword, his steps never faltering.
Do you think you still have the right to negotiate with me?
Nangong Wuhen's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "I can give you all the spirit stones, pills, and cultivation techniques I have, as long as you let me leave the secret realm. I can even help you explain to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and from now on, we'll keep to ourselves!"
Chu Yunfei's eyes were filled with nothing but coldness.
"Back then, at the Broken Remnant Cliff, did you ever offer me a way out?"
Nangong Wuhen's body stiffened.
He knew that begging for mercy was useless.
The fear on his face quickly turned into resentment.
" Chu Yunfei, you'd better think this through!"
"My grandfather, Nangong Hai, is the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect and has been at the Divine Sea Realm Eighth Level for over a year. I am also a Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect and possess the sect's destiny token."
"If you kill me, my grandfather will find out immediately. Once you leave the secret realm, you will face an ambush from the entire Heavenly Sword Sect!"
Nangong Wuhen gritted his teeth, trying to find a trace of fear on Chu Yunfei's face.
But he was disappointed.
Chu Yunfei's expression remained unchanged.
" The Divine Sea Realm Eighth Level?"
"Don't worry, I'll send him down to keep you company soon."
The last glimmer of hope in Nangong Wuhen's heart was completely shattered.
This madman is truly unafraid of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Begging for mercy is useless.
Threats are equally ineffective.
Since that's the case, then let's die together!
A sudden flash of madness appeared in Nangong Wuhen's eyes.
He suddenly reached into his robes with his remaining left hand and pulled out a white jade stone covered with silver patterns.
Inside the jade, an old figure sat cross-legged.
It was Nangong Hai's all-out attack, sealed with his divine soul imprint!
Chu Yunfei!
Nangong Wuhen exerted tremendous force with his five fingers, crushing the jade stone on the spot, a crazed grin spreading across his face.
"You forced me to this, die!"
"Go to hell?"
Chu Yunfei looked at the aged, phantom figure awakening within the jade, his eyes showing no sign of panic. "You think you can kill me with this inanimate object?"
The moment the jade shattered, a terrifying aura far surpassing that of the Divine Sea Realm Middle Stage erupted.
Silvery-white spiritual energy surged into the sky.
The divine soul imprint left by Nangong Hai quickly solidified, transforming into an ancient phantom several tens of feet tall.
The phantom figure had its eyes closed, and its right hand slowly gripped a silver greatsword.
The Divine Sea Realm Ninth Level!
Although it was merely an ultimate strike sealed within the jade, unable to sustain a prolonged battle against a true Divine Sea Realm Ninth Level expert, it retained some of Nangong Hai's sword dao insights from his prime.
Before the giant sword even fell, the surrounding air was already cut with fine white streaks by its sharp edge.
The ground slowly sank.
Nangong Wuhen clutched his severed arm, staggering backward, his face contorted with a ferocious glee.
" Chu Yunfei, no matter how strong you are, you can never withstand a full-force attack from Divine Sea Realm Ninth Level."
"Even if I have to use all my trump cards, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
The aged, illusory figure opened its eyes.
Two beams of silver sword light shot out from his eyes.
Then, it gripped the silver greatsword with both hands and slashed down at Chu Yunfei.
" Heavenly Dipper God-Annihilating Sword!"
A hundred-foot-long silver sword aura pierced the sky.
Before the sword energy had even truly descended, an invisible sharpness had already torn a straight trench in the ground beneath Chu Yunfei's feet.
Nangong Wuhen stared intently at Chu Yunfei.
He wanted to see chaos.
I want to see fear.
I wanted to see Chu Yunfei struggle miserably under this attack, and ultimately be torn to shreds by the silver sword energy.
But Chu Yunfei merely raised his eyelids.
The next moment, he stopped suppressing his cultivation.
Divine Sea Realm Second Layer, Divine Sea Realm Third Level... Level 4.
Five layers, six layers!
The Dark Gold Divine Sea surged violently.
Vast spiritual energy erupted from Chu Yunfei's body, transforming into layers of air waves that caused his black robe to flutter wildly.
The smile on Nangong Wuhen's face slowly froze.
" Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer..."
His voice was hoarse, and his body involuntarily recoiled backward. "This is impossible. Half a month ago, you were clearly only at the Heavenly Origin Realm. How could you have broken through to the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer?"
Only at this moment did he truly understand.
The aura of the Divine Sea Realm First Level that Chu Yunfei released earlier was just a facade to show them.
When Han Qingshan died, the other party was in hiding.
Even when Qi Xiu died, the other party still wasn't serious.
Even when he swallowed the forbidden pill and raised his cultivation to the Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level, Chu Yunfei was still just toying with him.
From the moment they appeared, their fate was sealed.
Chu Yunfei did not consider them as real opponents at all.
"You monster..."
Nangong Wuhen's lips were pale.
Chu Yunfei ignored him.
All the spiritual power of the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer was poured into the Abyss-Devouring Sword.
The dark gold patterns on the sword gradually lit up.
First level of sword stance.
The second level.
By the time the sixth layer of sword energy had fully converged, the space around the Abyss-Devouring Sword had begun to show subtle distortions visible to the naked eye.
" Sea-Overturning Ninefold Sword."
"The Sixth Sword!"
Chu Yunfei gripped his sword with both hands and slashed head-on at the silver sword energy.
A dark gold sword light shot into the sky.
The two sword beams collided in mid-air.
Boom!
The blinding light illuminated the surrounding area for dozens of miles.
The violent shockwave spread outwards, swirling pebbles into the air, where they were then pulverized by the Sword Qi.
Nangong Wuhen was still pushed back repeatedly by the aftershocks.
He stared intently at the center of the collision.
The silver sword aura lasted only three breaths before a crack appeared on its surface.
Subsequently, the crack expanded rapidly.
Click!
The all-out attack left by Nangong Hai shattered with a deafening roar.
The aged phantom also transformed into countless points of spiritual energy within the dark golden sword light.
"No!"
Nangong Wuhen let out a desperate roar.
The sword light, still sharp, pierced through the sky filled with silver light and struck him heavily in the chest.
Bang!
Nangong Wuhen's inner protective armor shattered on the spot.
He was sent flying backward, spitting out blood, his body crashing through several protruding rocks before finally slamming heavily into the soil.
His dantian and Divine Sea were shaken, and the effects of the forbidden pill quickly faded.
The Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level.
triple.
Until he fell back to the Divine Sea Realm First Level.
Nangong Wuhen lay sprawled among the rubble, blood streaming from his severed arm, and most of his ribs were broken. He didn't even have the strength to stand up.
He looked up.
Chu Yunfei was carrying the Abyss-Devouring Sword as he walked step by step.
The sword's edge dragged across the ground, leaving a thin, elongated trail.
The pace was not fast.
Every step felt like stepping on Nangong Wuhen's heart.
"Impossible..."
Nangong Wuhen's eyes were unfocused as he muttered to himself, "That was a full-force attack from Divine Sea Realm Ninth Level, how could you possibly withstand it?!"
Chu Yunfei walked up to him and slowly stopped.
Have you run out of cards?
Nangong Wuhen's body trembled violently.
Chu Yunfei looked down at him, the murderous intent in his eyes completely transformed into calm.
"We've played for so long, it's time to end this."
Nangong Wuhen struggled to back away, but his hands could only leave a few shallow marks in the mud.
He knew he was going to die.
This time, no one can save him.
Fear, resentment, and regret surged into my heart at the same time.
If he had known earlier that Chu Yunfei would grow to this level, he should have spared no effort to kill him when they first met at the Azure Mystic Sect.
No.
Perhaps he shouldn't have provoked this monster in the first place.
But by then, it was too late.
" Chu Yunfei, don't be so smug!"
Nangong Wuhen's eyes were filled with resentment as he gritted his teeth and cursed, "Even if I die, the Heavenly Sword Sect will never let you go."
"My grandfather and the sect leader are waiting outside. The moment you walk out of the secret realm alive will be your death day!"
Chu Yunfei raised the Abyss-Devouring Sword.
Many people are cursing me.
You're still not in the queue.
The falling sword blade was reflected in Nangong Wuhen's eyes, and his face was now contorted with resentment and unwillingness.
" Chu Yunfei, you'll die a horrible death!"
Chu Yunfei's wrist remained steady, and his sword strikes did not falter in the slightest.
"In your next life, remember to learn from this."
A flash of sword light streaked past.
Pfft!
Nangong Wuhen's head flew high into the air.
The resentment and fear remained frozen on his face before he rolled away into the dust.
Nangong Wuhen, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect Nangong Wuhen, has fallen.
