Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The zither-playing saint retreated in the air. He held up his ancient zither horizontally in front of him to clash with the Azure Dragon Sword.
For a moment, sparks flew in all directions as the clanging sound rang ceaselessly. Some weaker beings felt their divine souls nearly shatter from the impact. With the clash as the epicenter, an endless storm of energy instantly erupted, billowing continuously in all directions.
“Pfft…”
Dark red blood instantly bloomed as the zither-playing saint’s arms were crippled once more. Before he could even feel the pain, a scene of utter despair appeared before him.
Buzz…
A bone on Su Chen’s chest emitted a radiance, weaving together tens of thousands of profound laws. Innumerable divine golden chains lashed out, making even the sun, moon, and stars in the sky tremble faintly.
The divine chains were wrapped in chaotic energy, each as thick as a mountain. They spat out thousands of divine lights, riddling the firmament with holes.
“No!” the zither-playing saint cried out in despair.
He was truly afraid now. He had thought Su Chen was already strong enough to suppress the three of them. Yet he did not expect Su Chen to still have a hidden card! Moreover, it seemed to be the Supreme Bone that could shock the heavens!
But where did this Supreme Bone come from?
He had been in secluded cultivation for nearly a thousand years, rarely paying attention to the outside world. He was completely unaware that Su Chen possessed two peerless talents.
Due to his oversight, he had suffered two consecutive blows.
Boom!
Countless divine chains wrapped around the zither-playing saint, twisting and crushing his body. He instantly turned into a mist of blood. Just as he tried to re-form his flesh, the Azure Dragon Sword revealed its sharp edge, glinting coldly.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon Sword was like a galaxy descending, boundless and vast. Crimson blood streaked through it as it rumbled downwards relentlessly.
This time, Su Chen gave no quarter. He directly incinerated his opponent’s essence blood into nothingness using his innate divine power, not even leaving a remnant soul. Just like that, a world-shocking Saint Realm powerhouse perished.
“Su Chen!” An anguished roar rang out, shaking the earth itself.
The black-robed saint of Dashang had a look of grief and fury, nearly driven mad. The recently fallen saint was actually from the same clan as him. In terms of seniority, he should be considered his junior within the clan, but today, he had fallen here.
“No need to hurry, I’ll send you two to accompany him soon!” Su Chen glanced back, battle intent boiling. His body was wreathed in crimson divine flames, like an incandescent celestial being, exuding a pressure that shocked the world.
The Azure Dragon Sword in his hand tore through the air, attacking hundreds of millions of times in an instant. Its sharp sword beams spat out scorching radiance, containing the power to destroy all laws of the world.
Boom!
A thundering sound rang out.
With just a single exchange, the black-robed saint was sent flying by Su Chen. His body quaked violently as the web between his thumb and index finger split open, blood oozing from the wound to stain half his robe red. Even the sacred weapon in his hand let out mournful cries.
In the black-robed Saint’s eyes was disbelief. The opponent before him was far too powerful, exceeding everyone’s expectations.
Logically speaking, even if Su Chen passed ten Saint Tribulations, he shouldn’t be this terrifying. After all, they were also saints who had cultivated for an extremely long time.
But Su Chen had only just become a saint half a year ago. How could he have grown so powerful in such a short time? One against three, yet after fighting for so long, his spiritual power did not seem drained at all, maintaining its peak state.
The black-robed saint and the other dark creature were not the same. In this clash, both their bodies had nearly been destroyed multiple times. Currently, they were only at 70% of their peak state at most.
One against three, yet Su Chen had killed one and still suppressed them both. Now just the two of them against Su Chen, their hopes seemed even more minuscule.
During the battle, the black-robed saint took the chance to glance at the Imperial City of Dashang.
At this moment, over half the city had been razed, with only the central palace still standing tall, the core of power for the entire Dashang Empire where every emperor had lived.
That was the only place left with troops stubbornly resisting, trying to withstand it all.
But it was futile. This resistance was too weak, like a speck of duckweed floating on a vast ocean, soon to be overwhelmed.
The reason that place still stood was because everyone knew the Dashang Emperor was also a saint whose strength was unfathomable. Until now, that mysterious Dashang Emperor had yet to appear.
Almost everyone knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the Dashang Emperor was likely hiding in that palace.
“At this time, do you think Shang Zhou emerging can stop all this from happening? Or can he turn the situation around?” Su Chen shouted coldly.
His eyes were dazzlingly bright like two miniature suns shooting out divine light that pierced the void. His entire body was filled with majestic power, black hair flying loosely.
With a shake of his arm, a force of billions of tons erupted forth. The Azure Dragon Sword in his right hand exuded an eerie black radiance, emitting a terrifying pressure that made souls tremble.
He had never relaxed his attention on Shang Zhou’s whereabouts. Yet until now, the other party had yet to show himself. Thus, Su Chen’s first thought was to slay these two saints first.
Once they were killed, even if only Shang Zhou remained, he would be no threat. Even if Shang Zhou had hidden cards, how could he himself not?
If he wished, he could summon forth that supreme existence from the Demon Slaying Altar at any time. However, under the current circumstances, it seemed unnecessary to request that being’s assistance. After all, that was a massive hidden card of his.
If such a card was exposed, then it could no longer be considered hidden. Many would know of it and make targeted preparations. The only wise choice was to keep it concealed, not revealing it to the world. Only then could it unleash its full power at the critical juncture.
Clang!
Su Chen unleashed a fierce barrage, the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand flowing with blood-red beams like the holy blood itself, containing a certain ineffable vitality yet tragic beyond measure.
Each strike precisely targeted the black-robed saint’s vitals. At that moment, the entire firmament was dyed crimson by Su Chen’s aura, his attacks incomparably terrifying.
The sword slashed out, causing the void to quake and the world to tremble, simply unblockable.
The black-robed saint spat out blood, his chest caving in. He fought back with all his might, using both hands to meet the Azure Dragon Sword. The two continued to clash, the sounds of metal clanging repeatedly. Scorching streaks of lightning shot forth, tearing the dome of heaven asunder..
