Hearing this, Qu Wushang turned his head and felt his soul about to flee his body.
Jiang Ming's status as the third Holy Son of the Xuan Tian Holy Land meant his strength was undeniable.
Moreover, he was now unleashing his full power, even using an Emperor's weapon.
Yet, in Xu Chuan's hands, he hadn't lasted long.
He was dead beyond redemption, not even a corpse left behind.
Qu Wushang was filled with immense regret.
Why hadn't he fled earlier, choosing instead to rely on numbers to defeat Xu Chuan?
Why had he put himself in such a perilous situation?
With his current strength, he was no match for Xu Chuan at all.
Even the arrows shot from Xu Chuan's Sun-Slaying Divine Bow had troubled him greatly.
Let alone now that Xu Chuan had freed himself and was focusing all his attention on him!
"Run, run, where can you possibly escape to?"
Xu Chuan said calmly, looking at Qu Wushang scrambling away.
In his eyes, Qu Wushang was no different from a turtle trapped in a jar.
No matter where he fled, death was inevitable!
"Xu Chuan, do you truly intend to show no mercy?"
"I am the only Divine Son of the Bright God Palace, and my father has already stepped half a foot into the Emperor Venerable realm!"
"If you kill me, you will die too!"
Qu Wushang roared.
He tried to use his identity to threaten Xu Chuan, to prevent him from killing him.
However, upon hearing this, Xu Chuan's expression remained indifferent, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"If you had known this day would come, why act that way in the first place?"
He was not afraid of Qu Wushang's threats at all.
A mere Divine Son, what was there to be impressed by?
He himself was the sole Holy Son of the Tai Yi Holy Land, the chosen successor to the Holy Lord, and he wasn't arrogant.
Furthermore, the Hall Master of the Bright God Palace was indeed powerful, having carved out his own Divine Kingdom. He was far along the path to becoming an Emperor Venerable, surpassing the Half-Emperor realm experts of countless other factions.
But the Holy Lord of Tai Yi was no less formidable. Having received the method for cultivating an inner world from Xu Chuan, he had likely already opened his inner world, his strength having undergone a qualitative leap. He could be considered on par with, or even stronger than, the Hall Master of the Bright God Palace!
Setting that aside.
Xu Chuan's own strength had also reached a terrifying level!
With the aid of Xuan Lie and the boost from numerous cultivation techniques, destiny, and divine abilities, he could even reach the strength of a first-tier Emperor Venerable for a short period!
With such power, on the Xuan Tian Continent where Emperor Venerables were rare, who did Xu Chuan need to fear?
Unless all the controllers of all the major powers across all five regions attacked him together, Xu Chuan was invincible!
This was his confidence!
"Ahhhh!"
Qu Wushang roared. He hadn't expected his threat to be useless, even backfiring and making Xu Chuan's attacks more frequent.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
He had endured enough of being crushed.
He wanted to break free!
He wanted to erupt!
Before his voice had even fallen, Qu Wushang erupted with an endless white light once more.
In the next instant, his figure vanished from his original spot, attacking Xu Chuan with astonishing speed.
His palms descended like a god and demon, enveloping Xu Chuan.
Facing this powerful strike, Xu Chuan remained unfazed.
It was merely the death throes of an ant, not worth mentioning.
He raised the Prison Suppressing Demonic Blade, and a torrent of primal energy erupted from the blade, coalescing into streaks of blade light.
"Slash!"
With Xu Chuan's command, the blade lights converged, forming a terrifying blade qi that slashed towards Qu Wushang.
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed, and a violent surge of energy scattered in all directions.
The ground churned, and the void exploded.
Qu Wushang's attack made no ripple, being shattered by Xu Chuan's blade. The blade qi then struck him, sending him flying back, crashing against the city wall before coming to a halt.
"Is there truly no hope for me?"
Qu Wushang felt immensely heavy-hearted.
He had truly faced Xu Chuan's attack head-on and felt how terrifying he was.
But it was precisely because of this that he felt even more fear and despair.
Before Xu Chuan, he saw no hope of survival.
"This is somewhat interesting!"
Xu Chuan looked at Qu Wushang, who had been sent flying by his blade, with a hint of surprise.
The attack just now hadn't caused much damage to Qu Wushang.
Most of the impact had been absorbed by the white light emanating from around him.
This layer of white light was like a tortoise shell, protecting Qu Wushang.
It could block most of the damage.
"Indeed, it's impressive, but that's the end of it!"
Xu Chuan's tone was cold, and with a flash, he unleashed another blade strike.
This time, however, the blade was imbued with Xu Chuan's Fusion Fire.
Upon encountering the white light, it was like dry tinder meeting a raging inferno, and it began to burn fiercely.
Emitting sizzling sounds.
The white light enveloping Qu Wushang was formed from the power of faith,
a unique technique of the Bright God Palace.
It was difficult for ordinary people to break through it, let alone harm the person within the white light.
But he had encountered Xu Chuan.
The Fusion Fire was on its way to becoming a Chaos Divine Fire.
Mere power of faith was just firewood.
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, a large hole was burned through the white light that enveloped him, revealing Qu Wushang's terrified expression within.
"How is this possible!"
He couldn't believe his eyes.
Before leaving the temple, the Hall Master of the Bright God Palace had specifically taught him how to use the power of faith.
And told him that this white light condensed from the power of faith could even resist the attack of a first-tier Emperor Venerable for a moment.
Yet, it was burned through by Xu Chuan's flames!
"Nothing is impossible!"
"Bang!"
Catching him off guard, Xu Chuan suddenly unleashed a punch.
This time, there was no white light to shield him from the damage.
This punch landed squarely on his body.
Instantly.
His body cracked, his chest caved in, blood splattered, and the sound of bones shattering could be heard.
The excruciating pain caused a fine layer of sweat to bead on Qu Wushang's forehead.
After all, he was just a transmigrator and had never suffered such severe injuries.
Being able to endure the pain without crying out now had already earned Xu Chuan some respect.
Therefore, Xu Chuan decided not to torment him any longer.
He would send him on his way!
"Buzz!"
Above Xu Chuan's head, the Ancient Golden Palace empowered him, and his Yang God stood within it.
Simultaneously, ferocious faces appeared on the Prison Suppressing Demonic Blade, and crimson mist enveloped the surroundings.
"God Slayer!"
Xu Chuan uttered this word coldly. In the next moment, a terrifying blade qi was unleashed.
With this strike, Xu Chuan poured all his strength, aiming for a sure kill!
"Pfft!"
Xu Chuan's body and Qu Wushang crossed paths.
The Prison Suppressing Demonic Blade grazed his neck.
Instantly, a large head shot into the sky, blood gushing out like a pillar, ceaselessly.
Qu Wushang saw from another perspective.
He saw a headless corpse slowly falling.
Only then did he realize it was his own body.
He had utterly failed!
Even his head had been severed by Xu Chuan.
