One Sword Strike Sends Asura Retreating

"When!"

The expected result—a trembling hand from a powerful strike or being cleaved in two by a single sword—did not occur. Instead, she heard the clanging of metal against metal and felt a warm, sticky metallic sensation on her chest. Shui Bing'er knew that Qian Renxue had blocked the fatal blow for her. Opening her eyes, she saw that the once dazzling golden armor was now covered in blood, with numerous tiny holes covering most of it, exposing her snow-white skin. These were the marks left by Tang San's Blood Flower Stamen, a divine-level injury.

A Qian Renxue voice came from in front of him. "I... have the strength to shatter the divine..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tang San's attack interrupted her. Qian Renxue's Sisi Divine Power was barely enough to maintain her flight, but fortunately, her physical body had been repaired due to her shattered Godhood. Unfortunately, she only possessed physical strength and had lost her divine artifact. She could only block Tang San's sword with her crossed arms and the arm armor on her arms. However, as Tang San's expression grew impatient, he swung his sword upwards, breaking through Qian Renxue's horizontal arm block, and then pressed down, slashing a huge wound in front of her. He then withdrew his sword and thrust it forward again, the blood-red greatsword plunging into Qian Renxue's body. Tang San sneered and kicked Qian Renxue squarely in the abdomen. Already suffering from the repeated blows, Qian Renxue immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Using the momentum from his kick, Tang San pulled the Asura God Sword from Qian Renxue's body, twirled it to shake off the blood, glanced at the unconscious Qian Renxue falling from the sky, then turned to Shui Bing'er. He slowly raised the blood-red greatsword to his lips, licked the blood remaining on the blade, smacked his lips, and said with a look of enjoyment, "See? This is what happens when you oppose me. Of course, you'll soon experience it too..."

There wasn't a single ounce of Divine Power left to shatter the Godhood... 'Damn it!' Shui Bing'er was utterly desperate at this moment, but quickly retorted with a defiant look, 'What are you? Without the Holy Spirit Cult, you would have died long ago. You're nothing but a lackey of the Holy Spirit Cult. God Realm Enforcer, Asura God? Bullshit!'

Shui Bing'er's reckless words struck a nerve with Tang San, causing his expression to twist and contort in horror. He raised the Asura God Sword, ready to cleave the woman who had humiliated him in two. "Shui Bing'er, you've already chosen your own path to death!!!"

Just as he was about to swing his sword down, an extremely dangerous feeling came over him. He didn't know where this feeling came from, but his survival instinct still forced him to turn into a red light and disappear from the spot. In just a moment, a snow-white longsword with a sheath appeared in the air where he had been. The next moment, a huge sound came from the ground.

Tang San swallowed hard, incredibly relieved that he hadn't hesitated at all in his decision. But now, as he came to his senses and looked at the ground, he was utterly bewildered. 'Whose sword is this? I've never seen it before... only the hilt seems strangely familiar... This attack power, just the way it's thrown makes me feel threatened... Who is it?'

His doubts were quickly answered. A flash of white mist appeared, and Yu Tianshuang, dressed in white, stood beside Shui Bing'er. He supported her with one hand, and with the other, he recalled the snow-white longsword that was deeply embedded in the ground. Feeling the familiar touch on her waist and seeing the handsome face she had longed for, Shui Bing'er breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a sense of peace, "You've finally woken up... cough cough..."

Yu Tianshuang took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill the size of a thumb, and fed it to Shui Bing'er. Then, holding her hand, she gently channeled a stream of True Essence to help the pill's effects dissolve. She then handed the bottle back to Shui Bing'er, saying, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister... I'm late. Please go and check on Grandpa and the others..."

"It's alright, leave it to me, go!" Yu Tianshuang interrupted Shui Bing'er's hesitant words, gave her a reassuring look, and then turned to look at Tang San.

"It's you? It really is you! How did you survive all this? Yu Tianshuang... I must say, you're incredibly lucky. But what are you doing here? Committing suicide?"

"I really don't understand. You're just a mere mortal. I don't even care about your two women who have become gods. Instead of hiding while they risked their lives to buy you time, you came here to die?"

Tang San seemed to have ignored the attack that had just struck him as deadly, or perhaps he felt his senses had been mistaken because the person who appeared was Yu Tianshuang. Therefore, upon seeing that it was Yu Tianshuang, he was somewhat angry; how could he, a dignified God King, be intimidated by a mere mortal...

Yu Tianshuang didn't bother arguing with him. She gripped her sword hilt and unleashed a snow-white sword aura at Tang San. Tang San, seeing this incredibly fast sword aura approaching, was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Ignorance is bliss! You probably don't even know what the term ' God King' means... You're not even drawing your sword? Fine, fine, then let me, the Asura God Tang San, teach you, a mortal, how to have reverence for God King!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword energy was about to reach Tang San. He raised the giant sword with one hand and slashed down. Instantly, a blood-red sword energy appeared and met the snow-white sword energy. According to his plan, as a God King, this attack was enough to shatter the attack and kill him along with it.

However, the actual situation was beyond his expectations. The snow-white sword energy broke through his blood-red sword energy in an instant with an almost unstoppable momentum. It continued its advance without slowing down and came directly in front of him. At this moment, Tang San hurriedly blocked with his sword. He didn't even have time to be surprised because the immense force from the Asura God Sword in front of him forced him to mobilize his Divine Power to resist with all his might. However, the snow-white sword energy continued to push him backward at an extremely fast speed.

After absorbing the miraculous pills given by Yu Tianshuang, Shui Bing'er naturally paid close attention to the battle in the sky. While feeding pills to Sword Douluo and Huo Wu, who had been injured the longest and had the weakest cultivation, she also kept her divine sense open. When she sensed that Tang San had been knocked away by Yu Tianshuang's sword, the sense of security that he had always given her instantly returned.

Thinking back to the Soul Master Competition and now the God War, this guy always seemed so reliable, except for that one and only time. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and chuckle, cursing, "That bastard..."

Despite Tang San's best efforts, he couldn't change the fact that he was being suppressed by the snow-white sword energy. The scenery before him kept receding, and Yu Tianshuang was getting further and further away from him. 'How is this possible? How is this possible? I am God King! What is he?! There must be some mistake, there must be...'
