1236: I really don't want to kill you

“Hey…”

“Isn’t it good to be alive?”

Wang Chen touched his chin helplessly as he looked at Qingyun Sword Immortal, who was brimming with Aura, his entire being sharp and incisive, like a peerless divine sword.

If there was no real need, he truly didn’t want to fight this battle.

He had just found an area suspected of having a War Mother Nest, and fighting Qingyun Sword Immortal now would definitely scare away the cunning War Mother Nest.

By then, it would be impossible to catch up.

Under equal strength, the speed at which a War Mother Nest flees is even faster than his maximum use of Longitudinal Golden Light.

He could already faintly hear the sounds in the valley behind him becoming chaotic.

Besides…

Wang Chen was also very clear that after this battle, if he killed Qingyun Sword Immortal, he would definitely fall into the trouble of killing the junior and attracting the senior.

The next one to come would either be an old monster from the Sun Moon Sword Sect or White Jade City, the Sect Master of the Sun Moon Sword Sect, a Twelve-Order Peak Expert.

What ‘all grievances resolved’ was just a lie to fool ghosts!

As for Qingyun Sword Immortal saying he wouldn’t die…

Wang Chen was too lazy to refute that.

When he fought with all his might now, his combat power was so strong that even he was afraid, enough to sweep aside any 11th Stage expert.

“Hmph!”

“If Fellow Daoist can slay me, then it can only be blamed on my insufficient skill, but…”

On the opposite side, Qingyun Sword Immortal couldn't help but let out a cold snort when he saw Wang Chen’s “lazy” demeanor:

“Do you have the strength for that?”

“I have slain countless arrogant individuals with my sword; looking at Fellow Daoist, it seems another soul is destined to fall to my sword today.”

“Seriously, good advice is wasted on those who are destined to die.”

Seeing Qingyun Sword Immortal’s persistence, Wang Chen’s expression turned cold:

“Don’t blame me when you go to Hell; it’s your Revered Master who sent you to seek death.”

“Oh… I almost forgot, you won’t have the chance to go to Hell.”

“Any last words? Say them quickly.”

He looked at Qingyun Sword Immortal with a cold expression, his eyes gradually becoming dangerous.

“Heh… Arrogant!”

“Are all people from the Yaoguang Main Realm like you? If so, then I shall let you know how to write the word ‘death’!”

A deep hint of anger appeared on Qingyun Sword Immortal’s calm and composed face.

Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had swept through all obstacles and been invincible, yet this was the first time he had encountered someone who dared to be so arrogant in front of him.

Boom!

Violent Sword Qi spread out from Qingyun Sword Immortal’s body, and a terrifying Aura enveloped all directions, causing the air in the surrounding area to solidify under the pressure at that moment.

Zhao Yunhe, Murong Tianying, and even Chu Yanran, who had retreated several miles away, had to retreat further at this moment, widening the distance.

Even though all three of them possessed Peak 11th Stage strength, literally equal to Qingyun Sword Immortal, as Chu Yanran had said before, Qingyun Sword Immortal and they were on two completely different levels.

“It is said that Qingyun Sword Immortal has always been cold and indifferent, never showing any pleasantries to anyone. I never thought he would be provoked today?!”

“This is truly rare. It seems Qingyun Sword Immortal is going all out in this battle. His sword techniques have reached the Transcendent Realm, almost achieving the supreme Realm of returning to simplicity. If this battle can be recorded, it will likely drive countless Sword Cultivators insane!”

Upon seeing Qingyun Sword Immortal unleash his sharpness like a peerless divine sword unsheathed, Chu Yanran’s eyes sparkled with brilliance, and she instinctively took out a recording stone, injecting magic power to activate it.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yunhe and Murong Tianying’s expressions were a bit bitter.

Although Wang Chen had seemed cold earlier, he hadn’t been condescending or overbearing, which left a good impression on them.

Now, seeing how powerful Qingyun Sword Immortal was, they couldn’t help but feel more worried.

But they also knew that with their strength, wanting to participate in this battle was completely a fantasy; they could only silently pray for Wang Chen in their hearts.

At this moment.

“Daoist Wang, let me experience the profound skills of you, a person from the Main World!”

“If you can’t satisfy me, you will die a miserable death today!”

Qingyun Sword Immortal’s black hair fluttered, his slender body like a divine sword, emitting an unparalleled sharp Qi. Brilliant sword light surged in his eyes, and wherever his gaze fell, space emitted tearing sounds.

“Those words should be for you.”

“Do you really think being first on the military merit list for a while makes you arrogant?”

Wang Chen sneered, looking at Qingyun Sword Immortal, who stood proudly like a peerless divine sword, and casually extended a hand, beckoning with a finger:

“Come on, if you don’t make a move now, you won’t have another chance!”

“Seeking death!”

Perceiving the strong disdain in Wang Chen’s words, Qingyun Sword Immortal’s body erupted with terrifying, almost corporeal killing intent.

In an instant, violent killing intent covered the heavens and earth, the temperature in the surrounding area plummeted, and the ground was covered with a layer of white frost.

“I’ve seen many arrogant people, but I’ve never seen anyone as arrogant as you!”

“But it doesn’t matter. Your fate will be like those before you—just a pile of dry bones on my Dao path!”

Qingyun Sword Immortal let out a cold shout, and with a movement of his foot, like a peerless divine sword, he tore through space, appearing before Wang Chen with a violent Aura that seemed to cut through everything. He extended his hand, which was as clear and lustrous as jade carving, and pointed his fingers like a sword, slashing down heavily.

Rip!

At this moment, space was directly torn apart. The invisible Sword Qi first formed a cage, firmly binding Wang Chen in place. Finally, a cyan sword light shot out from his sword-like fingers, like a divine sword severing heaven and earth, intending to cut Wang Chen in half.

The power of this strike unleashed by Qingyun Sword Immortal was entirely confined within a ten-meter radius, demonstrating his formidable control.

As soon as it landed, the ground beneath Wang Chen’s feet was annihilated into nothingness, yet his figure did not fall, but remained bound by the invisible Sword Qi, standing in place like a target, awaiting the judgment of that cyan sword light.

Chu Yanran, Murong Tianying, and others observing from afar were filled with shock at this sight. While they could shatter mountains and sever rivers with a casual strike, they couldn't, like Qingyun Sword Immortal, confine power capable of splitting mountains and rivers within such a small area. The effortless display of control over power, a Transcendent Realm, made them deeply realize the disparity.

Confining immense power within an extremely small range would inevitably unleash even more terrifying destructive power!

“What a terrifying strike. If I were in his place, I probably wouldn’t even be able to block this attack.”

Murong Tianying’s expression was horrified, and a brief comparison led him to a helpless conclusion.

All his various methods and trump cards seemed pale and powerless in the face of this strike. Even if he directly burned his life and sacrificed himself for defense, facing this strike from Qingyun Sword Immortal would result in severe injury, near-death, or even instant death.

And this was not even Qingyun Sword Immortal’s strongest attack; he hadn’t even used his 본명 신검 (Life-bound Divine Sword) yet.

“Daoist Wang… how will he resolve this?”
