618: Chapter 618: One Cut, Corpse Parts Separate 618: Chapter 618: One Cut, Corpse Parts Separate Liang Chao placed the longsword horizontally in front of him, and lightly brushed one hand over the blade.
Trickles of fresh blood flowed from Liang Chao’s palm onto the blade…
“The third sword of the Sword’s Oath, Sword Shattering the Starry River!”
Liang Chao’s eyes were fixed intently on Bai Xiaofan, as if he feared Bai Xiaofan might try to escape.
As his words fell, a faint blood-colored glow began to flicker on the blade.
And within this blood light, a star slowly emerged.
When the star appeared within the blood light, an overpowering pressure, with Liang Chao at its center, began to oppress the surroundings.
Thud, thud, thud!
Wherever the power of the star touched, many disciples with lower cultivation levels spat out blood, their faces instantly pale as paper.
Even Ye Ling, a cultivator at the initial Golden Core stage, couldn’t help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Only those experts in the later stages of Golden Core could use their vital energy to withstand the power of the star.
Shi Budong and Huang Sanshi, upon realizing what was happening, quickly externalized their vital energy, protecting the disciples behind them.
Shen Yi and Xiao Mei did the same, using all their might to protect the disciples behind them.
Only Bai Xiaofan was still watching Liang Chao with calm and composure.
He neither prepared to resist with his cultivation nor showed any intention of making the first move.
So comfortable…
Feeling the power of the stars circulating around his body, Bai Xiaofan actually felt refreshed, as if basking in a spring breeze.
Even the Ancient God Technique, which had reached the first major accomplishment, was slowly starting to circulate.
As the Ancient God Technique circulated, all the power from Liang Chao’s oppressive force was absorbed by Bai Xiaofan’s body.
Therefore, the power of the stars, which left Shi Budong and Huang Sanshi in such dread,
was, to Bai Xiaofan, akin to a tonic.
Why did the Ancient God Technique resonate with the star power Liang Chao had released?
Just then, Liang Chao’s figure flashed, holding the longsword infused with the power of stars, he stabbed towards Bai Xiaofan.
With Liang Chao’s move, another powerful storm whipped up.
Forced by the storm, Shi Budong, Huang Sanshi, and the others had to circulate their vital energy even faster.
“I can’t catch the third sword of the Sword’s Oath!”
“I can’t catch it either, but I believe Bai Xiaofan can’t either!”
“Sword Shattering the Starry River?
How exactly does it shatter?”
“No matter what, we must cooperate this time.
Liang Chao must not live, or else our sects will be in danger!”
While resisting the ravaging power of the stars, Shi Budong and Huang Sanshi were already plotting to kill both Bai Xiaofan and Liang Chao right there.
If Bai Xiaofan were to win, then at all costs, they were determined to kill Bai Xiaofan.
Otherwise, if one day Bai Xiaofan reached the Nascent Soul Stage, then it was likely that no one below Divinity Transformation Stage would be his match.
That would be truly terrifying!
As for Liang Chao, he was even less tolerable.
Based on their knowledge of the Five Star Sect, anyone who could execute the third sword of the Sword’s Oath would eventually breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm and reach the rarely attained Divinity Transformation Stage!
If Liang Chao had a chance to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage, then all the sects within hundreds of miles would have to submit to the Five Star Sect.
That is something none of them wanted to see!
Boom!
Just at that moment, a loud sound came.
Before everyone could react to what happened,
they saw that Bai Xiaofan and Liang Chao had already clashed together.
In Bai Xiaofan’s hand was an ancient-looking broadsword, engraved with a black mystical bird.
The huge sound was the result of Bai Xiaofan’s Dragon Sparrow Sword clashing with Liang Chao’s longsword that carried the force of the stars…
In an instant, a rampant energy storm, centered around the two men, wildly surged in all directions.
Damn, this isn’t good!
At this moment, everyone, including Shi Budong and Huang Sanshi, couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
The power mixed within the unleashed storm was simply too formidable.
Before the crowd could come to their senses, some were already blown to the ground, vomiting blood and losing consciousness with a twist of the head.
Those who were able to react, with slightly deeper cultivation, also struggled to resist by circulating their own energy, while continuously retreating, their faces turning beet red!
Even Shi Budong and Huang Sanshi were not having an easy time, having to look after themselves and their sect’s disciples behind them.
As second elders of their respective sects, they couldn’t return alone, could they?
If that happened, their prestige within the sect would surely drop significantly.
Who then would dare to follow them on missions in the future?
Xiao Mei, on the other hand, was relatively relaxed, only needing to care about her own life and death.
As for the disciples behind her, she couldn’t care less.
The one in the most difficult situation was Shen Yi.
With a cultivation not so high and having to look after the disciples behind her like Ye Ling from the Taiyi Sect.
As for the situation around them, Bai Xiaofan and Liang Chao, who were locked in battle, were unaware.
“Die, Shattering Star!”
Staring fiercely at Bai Xiaofan, Liang Chao bellowed and slapped his sword.
Suddenly, one of the stars floating above the blade shot towards Bai Xiaofan.
Before Bai Xiaofan could even react, the star had pierced straight through his chest.
Seeing this, a cunning, savage smile appeared on Liang Chao’s face.
However, the moment he looked into Bai Xiaofan’s eyes, his expression froze.
Bai Xiaofan’s eyes were now filled with a bloody red.
In an instant, Liang Chao felt as if he were standing amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Luckily, with his profound cultivation, Liang Chao forced himself to snap out of it instantly.
However, everything was already too late.
The moment he locked eyes with Bai Xiaofan, his fate was sealed.
Bai Xiaofan’s Dragon Sparrow Sword ferociously cleaved towards Liang Chao’s head.
Almost reflexively, Liang Chao raised his longsword, hoping to fend off Bai Xiaofan’s attack.
Crack!
The sword broke in two!
The next second, the Dragon Sparrow Sword chopped down on Liang Chao’s head.
Whoosh!
Without any obstruction, the Dragon Sparrow Sword sliced straight through Liang Chao’s body…
One slash!
Body split in two!
To the end, Liang Chao could not comprehend why Bai Xiaofan’s eyes were blood-red or how they made him momentarily lose his senses!
He had lived for decades, his experiences not necessarily impressive, but he considered himself seasoned.
Yet he had never encountered someone whose eyes could rob people of their sanity!
Dying with eyes wide open!
That referred to Liang Chao, who now lay bisected by a single blow!
