49: Chapter 49 The Divine Sword Master is Dead!

The sky on this day was exceptionally clear.

It was as if it wanted everyone to see that the Cultivation World had produced two peerless Prodigies!

The elder brother, Xiao Tian, had fearlessly withstood a blow from the Golden Core True Lord without dying, and the younger brother, Su Xin, seeing his brother injured and in critical condition, cast aside his inherent understanding of Realms and struck out fearlessly.

This was not like that time at Yunyin Market, where he merely intercepted a sword from afar!

Instead, this was a true challenge to authority, striking directly at the physical body of a Golden Core!

Pitch-black vines, resembling pythons, flew out from Su Xin's palm, striking directly at the back of Wonderful Sword True Lord.

Wonderful Sword True Lord laughed in extreme anger, "Good, good, good, overestimating your capabilities!"

She even had the spare capacity to strike a palm towards her back!

The sneak-attacking vines were blasted to smithereens; Su Xin felt a sweetness in his mouth, yet a strange smile curled at the corners of his lips.

The shattered vines turned into pitch-black particles, infiltrating Wonderful Sword True Lord through her mouth, nose, and ears while she was unaware.

Wonderful Sword True Lord, completely oblivious, sneered and raised her hand, striking a palm towards Xiao Tian, who was holding the hammer and clashing with her longsword in front of her.

Xiao Tian's hair crown erupted with white light, and a protective barrier enclosed his entire body.

Wonderful Sword True Lord struck the protective barrier with her palm, and her hand was numbed by the impact.

The only Level 3 Magical Artifact on Xiao Tian's body had finally fulfilled its purpose.

The automatic defensive barrier required an amount of Spiritual Qi that Xiao Tian could withstand.

Xiao Tian's eyes lit up.

He seemed to know how to fight this battle now!

The rebounding force carried his own attack, and the hair crown would not trigger the defense.

Xiao Tian abruptly withdrew the heaven-shattering hammer, kicked Wonderful Sword True Lord in the abdomen, and his figure retreated explosively in mid-air.

Wonderful Sword True Lord had not expected Xiao Tian to dare kick her, and she had failed to defend against that kick.

A faint pain emanated from her abdomen.

Wonderful Sword True Lord felt she had lost all face!

"Today, you are doomed to die!"

Wonderful Sword True Lord swept her longsword across the air, the Sword Qi sharp as a blade.

Xiao Tian shifted his body, managing to dodge the Sword Qi relying solely on his superhuman combat instincts.

Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, Brother Tian was no longer acting recklessly.

Seeing that Xiao Tian had lost his balance from the dodge and was falling downwards, he immediately summoned vines to catch Xiao Tian.

Those in the Qi Refining Stage could not yet fly, and those in the Foundation Establishment stage could only fly with the aid of Magical Artifacts; only those above the Golden Core stage could fly directly.

Therefore, those below the Golden Core stage were inherently at a disadvantage when facing a Golden Core.

Fortunately...

"Brother Tian, don't worry, you have me, and Big Brother Jin!"

Xiao Tian stood steady on Su Xin's vines, and upon hearing this, his gaze shifted slightly.

He decisively took a healing pill from his space ring, swallowed it in one gulp, and crudely urged his Spiritual Qi to dissolve the medicinal power to recover from the injuries on his hands.

In just a moment, most of Xiao Tian's injuries had recovered.

The Sword Qi struck again.

"Brother Xin, send me in close!"

Su Xin, upon hearing this, did not hesitate and coordinated tacitly with Xiao Tian; the vines seemed as if controlled by Xiao Tian himself, appearing precisely at every spot where Xiao Tian stepped.

The sky-filling Sword Qi only shredded the casual vines Su Xin had conjured, consuming a vast amount of Spiritual Qi.

Beside Su Xin, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones were piled up; the Spiritual Qi was being rapidly absorbed by him to continuously conjure more vines.

Xiao Tian finally closed in on Wonderful Sword True Lord.

The heaven-shattering hammer crackled with purple-black lightning and smashed fearlessly towards Wonderful Sword True Lord.

Wonderful Sword True Lord felt the terror of that lightning, her eyes filled with shock, and she blocked with her sword.

At the very instant the myriad jade sword was about to collide with the heaven-shattering hammer, Xiao Tian suddenly withdrew his hand, released the hammer with his left hand, clenched it into a fist, and with lightning surging on his fist, struck fearlessly at Wonderful Sword True Lord's throat.

He showed absolutely no chivalry or mercy.

Wonderful Sword True Lord could clearly perceive the threat that punch posed to her.

Even if the one throwing this punch was only in the Qi Refining Stage!

Subconsciously, she sidestepped and retreated, flying higher in an attempt to dodge.

Xiao Tian's punch came too fast and too urgently!

It would have been better if Wonderful Sword True Lord hadn't dodged; because she did, the fist slammed directly into one of her soft spots.

"Boom!"

Lightning exploded!

Her chest, which wasn't particularly prominent to begin with, was directly blasted by Xiao Tian's punch, and a gaping, bloody hole appeared on her right breast.

Jin Fugui and Zhong Ziqi, who were in the middle of fighting, stopped and cast dull, stunned gazes towards Xiao Tian and Wonderful Sword True Lord.

Cultivators in the shadows held their breath, watching this battle scene that was perhaps rare to see in a hundred years.

Even Xiao Tian himself was somewhat stunned; he blankly withdrew his fist, looked at the blood on it, then at Wonderful Sword True Lord's right breast, and stammered for a long while.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Wonderful Sword True Lord slowly shifted her gaze from her right breast, lifted her eyes, and fixed them on Xiao Tian.

Silence, a deathly silence.

"Die!"

Wonderful Sword True Lord's expression became suddenly ferocious and terrifying, and she went instantly berserk.

A terrifying wave of energy surged from her body, instantly sending Xiao Tian flying.

Su Xin had been prepared.

Sky-filling vines wove into a large net, blocking between the two, while Xiao Tian, who had been sent flying on the other side, was caught by his other vines.

"Take a healing pill!" Su Xin reminded him.

Immediately, he took out tens of thousands of Spirit Stones beside him, seemingly consuming the Spiritual Qi within them recklessly, but in reality, he was increasing the absorption of the Spiritual Qi inside Wonderful Sword True Lord's body to replenish his own consumption.

Wonderful Sword True Lord slashed through the vine net with a single sword stroke; anger had shattered her reason, making her completely unaware of the anomaly within her body.

She pursued Xiao Tian to kill him as if she had gone mad.

Vines were slashed down one after another, and the sky-filling black particles invaded silently.

Xiao Tian saw everything; to make Su Xin's invasion go more smoothly, he disregarded his own unrecovered injuries and charged in to attack again.

He seemed to transform into a bolt of black-purple lightning.

"Boom, boom, boom —"

"Clang, clang, clang —"

Every time Xiao Tian swung the heaven-shattering hammer, it carried the power of Tribulation Lightning, and the lightning flowed along the block of the myriad jade sword, surging into Wonderful Sword True Lord's body.

"Ahhh!"

The power of the Tribulation Lightning further stimulated Wonderful Sword True Lord, who was already on the verge of falling into demonic possession.

Her eyes grew redder and redder, and the method for suppressing demonic possession she had obtained from Zhong Ziqi finally lost its effect!

"Ah!"

Wonderful Sword True Lord let out a long howl to the sky, red light surging from her body.

"Oh no, she has fallen into demonic possession!"

Everyone instantly retreated in terror!

If one were contaminated by even a little bit of Devilish Qi, removing it would be incredibly difficult.

Xiao Tian didn't understand, so he didn't dodge.

However, as soon as the red light approached Xiao Tian, it triggered the Tribulation Lightning Spiritual Root within him!

"Rumble —"

Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and lightning surged within the dark clouds.

Demonic possession fears Heavenly Lightning the most!

Even though there was no clarity in Wonderful Sword True Lord's eyes, she knew to retreat at this moment!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Countless vines soared into the sky, blocking Wonderful Sword True Lord's path of retreat.

Provoking them once or twice and then trying to run away—how could there be such a good deal!

"Ah!" Wonderful Sword True Lord frantically waved her longsword, hacking through the sky-filling vines.

Xiao Tian took out the lightning attraction needle, closed in on her, and swung the heaven-shattering hammer to strike Wonderful Sword True Lord.

"Boom, boom, boom —"

At this moment, Wonderful Sword True Lord, who only wanted to escape, was like a living target.

"Pfft!"

In just a few short breaths, Xiao Tian had struck with his hammer a hundred times.

Wonderful Sword True Lord spat out a mouthful of blood, and her back was already a bloody mess.

She turned her head abruptly, her eyes filled with blood-red killing intent.

She raised her longsword...

"Boom —"

The Heavenly Lightning finally descended.

Xiao Tian and Wonderful Sword True Lord were enveloped by the bucket-thick Heavenly Lightning.

"Ahhh..."

In the lightning, the screams belonging to Wonderful Sword True Lord gradually grew weaker, until...

There was no more sound!

The thunderclouds dispersed, the sky returned to a bright azure blue, and the sky was clear for ten thousand miles.
