Chapter 1 The First Round of Confrontation
The first round of confrontation concluded with all six individuals sustaining injuries to varying degrees.
Observing the six before him, Xu Chuan chuckled, "Is this all you've got?"
"If you have no other means, then I shall have to send you on your way early!"
Xu Chuan did not wish to delay further; this was a complete waste of time.
"It'll be you. You were the one shouting the loudest earlier!"
Xu Chuan pointed the Zhenyu Demonic Blade at Xue Wuqing, who lay on the ground, and declared.
Upon hearing Xu Chuan's words, Xue Wuqing's heart tightened.
He involuntarily gripped the long sword in his hand.
He turned to look at the others beside him.
However, everyone was now wary of Xu Chuan's strength and no one was willing to be the first to step forward.
Seeing this, Xue Wuqing knew he had to rely on himself.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
"Even if I die, I won't let you have an easy time of it!"
Xue Wuqing roared, his Yuan force erupting to its limit.
He produced a talisman and crushed it.
Instantly, a powerful aura was added to him.
In an instant, his strength surged to the level of a Half-Emperor realm.
As the Sword Son of Yaoshan Sword Sect, he naturally possessed life-saving means.
This was his life-saving trump card!
His cultivation temporarily broke through to the Half-Emperor realm!
If even Half-Emperor realm strength couldn't stop the enemy, then any other means would be futile.
The immense power restored Xue Wuqing's confidence.
His eyes blazed with a sharp light, his emotions fluctuating wildly, somewhat intoxicated by the sudden surge in power.
"Xu Chuan, let's see if you die this time!"
The long sword in his hand erupted with an extreme radiance, and a sword energy far more brilliant than before appeared in the heavens and earth.
In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color.
Even space itself cracked under the pressure of this sword energy.
Unlike the Half-Emperor realm alien races in the illusion, Xue Wuqing now was a true Half-Emperor.
His mere pressure was leagues beyond those alien Half-Emperors.
A manic smile spread across Xue Wuqing's face.
He hadn't expected that the life-saving trump card given to him by the Sect Master before departing could elevate his strength to the Half-Emperor realm.
This was entirely beyond his expectations!
With such power, would he still fear Xu Chuan?
That would be a joke!
"Slash!"
With Xue Wuqing's command, the terrifying sword energy descended, striking towards Xu Chuan.
A desperate sword strike from a Half-Emperor realm was unimaginably powerful.
Even Jiang Ming and Wu Fa, who had accompanied Xue Wuqing, showed a trace of shock.
Could this somewhat arrogant individual actually unleash such power?
However.
Facing this nearly fatal sword strike, Xu Chuan remained unfazed.
He didn't even show the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"Just a waste who forcibly boosted himself to the Half-Emperor realm. Why should I, Xu Chuan, fear you?"
Xu Chuan sneered.
The next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from him.
Under the amplification of numerous fates, divine abilities, and his inner world, Xu Chuan's strength instantly soared to the peak of the Half-Emperor realm!
An unprecedented and terrifying pressure swept across the entire city.
At this moment, the other five individuals present widened their pupils, revealing expressions of disbelief.
They had originally thought that Xu Chuan, fighting them all at once, had already reached his peak.
Even Qu Wushang and Wu Lingfeng, who had seen Xu Chuan in action within the illusion, believed so.
But now, Xu Chuan's further surge of power sent an earthquake of unprecedented magnitude through their hearts.
Even Jiang Ming began to doubt himself. Had he made the wrong choice?
Facing Xu Chuan's current strength, did he truly stand a chance?
It was important to remember that the top overt powers on the entire Xuan Tian Continent were no more than peak Half-Emperors.
And now, Xu Chuan's strength had reached this level.
As for Xue Wuqing, the main target, his eyes nearly burst from their sockets.
He had just seen hope of killing Xu Chuan, only to be dealt such a crushing blow!
It was as if heaven itself was toying with him.
"A mere clown. It's time to send you on your way!"
"Don't worry, it won't be long before everyone from Yaoshan Sword Sect will accompany you!"
At this moment, Xu Chuan was like a Yama King, coldly announcing Xue Wuqing's death sentence.
As his words fell, Xu Chuan placed the Zhenyu Demonic Blade onto the She Ri Divine Bow, drew it back, and shot an arrow.
The Zhenyu Demonic Blade, carrying infinite power, struck the sky-obscuring sword energy at a terrifying speed.
RUMBLE!
A monstrous explosion of power erupted, and the boundless divine light made it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.
Energy surged throughout the entire city.
Qu Wushang and the others struggled to defend themselves.
Meanwhile, Xu Chuan remained calm and composed; the explosion merely ruffled the hem of his robes.
In contrast, Xue Wuqing on the other side was deathly pale, trembling uncontrollably, as if he had witnessed something terrifying.
"No, don't... don't kill me!"
He was terrified.
In the face of mortal danger, no one could remain composed.
Even a Sword Son was no exception.
However.
Would Xu Chuan give him a chance to live?
Clearly not!
After crushing the sword energy, the Zhenyu Demonic Blade continued its momentum towards Xue Wuqing.
Against the combined might of two Emperor Weapons, any defense Xue Wuqing possessed was as worthless as paper.
It was easily torn apart by the Zhenyu Demonic Blade.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Xue Wuqing was completely crushed, leaving behind only a mist of blood and no remains.
His soul escaped his body, attempting to flee, but was instantly swallowed by the Zhenyu Demonic Blade, leading to his complete demise.
"Retreat!"
Jiang Ming was the first to react, his voice a low growl, his eyes filled with shock.
"Damn it, how can he be so strong!"
He cursed inwardly.
If this continued, who could be Xu Chuan's opponent?
Upon hearing Jiang Ming's words, Wu Fa and the person from Wan Chong Valley, dragging their heavily injured bodies, instantly retreated.
Their hearts were filled with immense fear, lest they be a moment too slow and suffer the same fate as Xue Wuqing.
"Escape!"
Seeing this, Qu Wushang's body erupted with a dazzling white light.
He intended to repeat his earlier tactic, using divine kingdom teleportation to escape Xu Chuan's attack range.
He cared not for Wu Lingfeng's life or death.
His only thought was to escape, hide, and then seek revenge for this humiliation in the future.
However.
When he attempted to activate the divine kingdom teleportation, he discovered he was unable to teleport.
Qu Wushang's face contorted in panic.
This life-saving trump card had failed?
Then, as if recalling something, he produced a token and directly activated the formation within it.
But still, nothing happened; he remained rooted in place.
The others, seeing this, also took out their tokens.
Previously, Li Yan had stated that if they encountered danger in the Void Immortal Realm, they only needed to activate their tokens, and they would be teleported out regardless of their location.
This was also a safeguard for their lives.
But when they all activated their tokens, they discovered they were still in the same spot, not being teleported away.
"What in the world is going on?"
"Xu Chuan, what did you do?!"
Qu Wushang cried out in terror.
In response, Xu Chuan sneered, "I've been guarding against this move for a long time!"
"I said, today, you will all die!"
In this Two Realms Pass, I, Xu Chuan, am the king!
Without my permission, who can teleport out of here?!
From the very beginning, Xu Chuan had said that they had chosen the best burial ground for themselves!
