519: Sword Guardian: Xiao Chongjing Misled Me

"Clang, clang, bang..."

A sound of clashing metal rang out. The treasured swords struck Duan Zhengchun directly, but there was no splash of blood as expected.

Instead, sparks flew, and the treasured swords snapped instantly upon impact.

This scene stunned everyone present, who watched the events unfolding before them in disbelief.

Ye Xiaoying was so shocked his mouth hung open, his mind completely blank.

Ye Ruoyi's face also turned pale, but quickly became flushed with excitement.

This man is so powerful. Becoming the woman of such a man wouldn't be so bad.

Unfortunately, she didn't have long to live.

Emperor Taian's expression changed drastically. He looked at Duan Zhengchun in disbelief, his face utterly devoid of color.

He had originally thought that with the Sword Guardian making a move, Duan Zhengchun would surely die, but this was the result?

You held it in for so long, just for this? You used so many treasured swords, yet he didn't even break skin. Aren't you too weak?

After the Sword Guardian's attack ended, Duan Zhengchun raised his hand to flick away the creases on his clothes, shrugging helplessly.

"Old man, that's all you had after holding it in for so long? It doesn't even count as a scratch. Was I wrong when I said you've lived all these years in vain?"

"You, this, how is this possible? How can you be so powerful?"

"What kind of martial arts is this? Even the Buddhist Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill wouldn't have this kind of effect."

"You, what kind of martial arts is this?" the Sword Guardian asked, looking at Duan Zhengchun in horror.

"Oh, old man, you even know about the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill? Are you talking about this?"

As Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, a golden light instantly lit up his body, and his entire being turned golden. A terrifying and ancient aura permeated the air.

However, there was no sign of Buddhist Intent on his body.

"This... this is the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill! You, are you Eternal Life Li?" the Sword Guardian stared at Duan Zhengchun in terror.

"Shut up, old man, are you senile? How could this King possibly be that old fellow, Eternal Life Li?"

"Are you saying only Eternal Life Li knows the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill? The Nine Provinces Continent is huge; just because someone knows the same martial arts means they are the same person?"

"What exactly are you thinking? Did practicing martial arts make you stupid?" Duan Zhengchun rolled his eyes irritably.

"You..."

"In that case, this old man refuses to believe it. You won't be able to block this next strike from me." The Sword Guardian's face was ferocious, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He formed a hand seal, and the broken swords on the ground began to tremble, quickly flying up again and gathering in the air.

They actually condensed into a giant sword in the air. He hadn't used his full strength before, but now he realized his previous attack couldn't even break the defense.

How could he not use his full strength now?

"Courtesy demands reciprocity. Since you like using the sword, this King also has a sword strike. I hope you can withstand it." Duan Zhengchun smiled slightly as he looked at the Sword Guardian.

After speaking, Duan Zhengchun raised his hand and beckoned toward the sky.

No Sword Intent appeared on his body, but at that very moment, everyone felt a terrifying chill sweeping over them.

The chill originated from the sky. When everyone looked up, they saw that the previously clear sky suddenly became covered in dark clouds, and a massive rift tore open within the clouds.

It was as if some colossal beast was about to tear through space and enter.

Then, everyone watched as a giant sword appeared simultaneously with the tearing clouds, plummeting downward. The terrifying power caused the surrounding space to vibrate, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Behind the giant sword, a magnificent and majestic city gate seemed to faintly appear.

"This move, One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate—can it break open the Heavenly Gate and cleave through an old bastard like you?" Duan Zhengchun looked at the Sword Guardian mockingly.

At this moment, the Sword Guardian was locked onto by this Sword Intent, sweating profusely, as a sense of death rose from the depths of his heart.

He knew he couldn't withstand this sword strike directly; its power was too terrifying.

Even Eternal Life Li back in the day couldn't execute a sword strike with such terrifying power. How exactly did this Duan Zhengchun Cultivate?

How could the Duan Family produce such a Prodigy? He had a feeling that even if Eternal Life Li were here then, he probably couldn't withstand this sword strike.

Even if he could take it, he would be severely injured.

Emperor Taian was so terrified by the horrifying pressure of this sword strike that he collapsed onto the ground, his face deathly pale.

He regretted it somewhat. If he had known Duan Zhengchun was this powerful, he wouldn't have sought trouble with him.

Damn it, this bastard! Having such immense power and hiding it—was he just waiting here to scheme against Us?

Damn it, The one surnamed Duan deserves to die, deserves to die!

Emperor Taian continuously cursed Duan Zhengchun internally, his eyes spitting fire, his gaze as if he wanted to devour someone.

But he didn't dare act. He only hoped that after Duan Zhengchun killed the Sword Guardian, he wouldn't vent his anger on him. Otherwise, he truly wouldn't know what to do.

However, he was meticulous; Duan Zhengchun absolutely wouldn't dare kill him. He was the Emperor of Northern Li, and killing him would mean making an enemy of the entire Northern Li.

"This old man cannot block the power of this sword. I have lost." The Sword Guardian looked defeated, his entire Qi becoming listless.

He had absolutely no confidence in blocking this strike. Whether he blocked it or not, the result would be the same: death.

The appearance of this sword strike filled the entire Tianqi City and the nearby Sword Cultivator Masters with horror.

"Heavens, what is going on? What kind of sword move is this? It's terrifying! Even from this distance, I feel like if this sword falls, I'll be blasted into dust."

"Stop talking quickly! I'm scared stiff! The power of this sight is too terrifying."

In Snow Moon City, on Cangxue Mountain, the expressions of Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng changed the instant this sword appeared.

The two stared at the giant sword descending from the clouds in the distance, their minds greatly shaken.

They exchanged glances but remained silent, focusing intently on the giant sword.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; they had never witnessed such a shocking scene before.

Back then, Baili Dongjun had witnessed the duel between his Master Eternal Life Li and the Demon Sect's top Master, Rain Born Demon. Although the destructive power was immense, it was definitely not as shocking as the power of this sword strike.

He knew that even if it were his Master or Rain Born Demon back then, they definitely couldn't withstand this sword strike. Even from this distance, they could feel its terrifying destructive power.

Li Hanyi was also watching this scene, and her heart was extremely shocked as she looked at the giant sword before her eyes.

This sword strike was countless times stronger than it was back then. Previously, after witnessing this strike, she returned and achieved enlightenment, instantly reaching the Great Carefree Realm, just one step away from reaching the Half-Step Shenyou Realm.

That is the Earth Immortal Realm Early Stage. It may seem like just half a step, but countless people spend their entire lives without achieving that Breakthrough.

Now, seeing this move, One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate, again, her mental state and feelings were different.

She couldn't miss this opportunity. If she was lucky, she might be able to use this chance to achieve a Breakthrough to the Half-Step Shenyou Realm in one go.

"Buzz..."

The giant sword fell directly, and the entire Imperial City began to shake.

The Sword Guardian watched the descending giant sword, a look of sorrow on his face.

"The true name misled me..."

The vibration faded. The Sword Guardian had vanished, and the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was cleaved open by this sword strike. Emperor Taian was so terrified by the power of this attack that he wet himself.
