Chapter 577: Chapter 525: The Ruthlessness of Zuo Qiuhanyan

Boom!

A terrifying aura surged upwards. Scary momentum burst out from Zuo Qiuhanyan’s body, his purple Primordial Qi circulating around him, stirring up the endlessly surging Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

Although his injuries hadn’t fully healed yet, the treasures he had continually plundered from the Forbidden Place had allowed his injuries to recover rapidly and restore most of his strength.

He suddenly swung a fist, and a boiling Primordial Qi up surged towards the sky, generating an enormous torrent of fist energy, as heavy as Mount Tai, submerging Pang Hong beneath it.

Seeing Zuo Qiuhanyan’s ferocious attack, Pang Hong was shocked by the strength his opponent exhibited, contrary to the previous information he had obtained.

However, Pang Hong showed no fear. The Shenxiao Sword in his hand hummed softly, drawn in an instant.

Sword Drawing Skill!

This swordsmanship, once relied upon by Pei Xuanjing to dominate the world and killing countless experts, once again resurfaced. As Pei Xuanjing’s direct disciple, Pang Hong’s display of the Sword Drawing Skill was already 60 to 70 percent as powerful as Pei’s was at the same Realm.

But don’t assume that Pang Hong’s Sword Drawing Skill is weak as it only has 60 to 70 percent of the power of Pei Xuanjing’s swordsmanship in the same realm. That’s not the case.

Pei Xuanjing was known for cultivating Essence, Qi and Spirit all together. His profound cultivation foundation was far out of reach for many. That very fact that Pang Hong could use this move with such power would shock the world when word got out, proclaiming that Pei Xuanjing indeed had a worthy successor.

Clang!

The Shenxiao Sword was unsheathed.

Grasp the sword, draw the sword, unsheathe the sword, swing the sword, all actions are as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest pause!

An dazzling ray of sword light flashed. Almost at the instant of unsheathing, an extremely violent sword intent permeated outward.

The might of this sword, seems like it can split the sky and sever the earth.

The chilly sword light, coupled with this explosive sword intent, sliced through space itself, cutting off that wild torrent of fist energy.

Pang Hong’s sword intent differed from Pei Xuanjing’s imposing aura. It was rather filled with his own style, as violent as a thunder god in the sky.

When the Sword Drawing Skill was in Pang Hong’s hands, it did not follow the same path of extreme speed that Pei Xuanjing used, but was instead filled with a sense of violence and destruction.

Boom!

The resulting fluctuations from their clash caused the earth to shake for miles around. If the cultivators in the area hadn’t been evacuated earlier, just this aftermath alone would have caused numerous casualties.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zuo Qiuhanyan’s eyes. Initially, he only intended to suppress and defeat Pang Hong while still wary of Pei Xuanjing. But after their exchange, he knew that he must kill Pang Hong today, leaving no chance for him to survive.

The Pang Hong before him only had the Cultivation at the Spirit Realm Second Layer, but his combat power was already so strong. If his strength were to break through, Zuo Qiuhanyan was worried that he might not be able to defeat him even if he had fully restored his strength.

“I absolutely can’t afford to leave such a powerful opponent alive. I must obliterate him, otherwise, he will become a major threat in the future.” Zuo Qiuhanyan made up his mind.

Having lived hundreds of years, and having grown up in the Sky Wasteland, Zuo Qiuhanyan had seen countless prodigies like Pang Hong. He knew full well that such prodigies would never easily accept defeat.

If today he simply defeated Pang Hong, that defeat would forever remain in Pang Hong’s memory. Zuo Qiuhanyan would himself become the force pushing Pang Hong forward, a stepping stone in Pang Hong’s path that he would incessantly seek to overcome.

If Pang Hong were an ordinary person, so be it. But unfortunately, Pang Hong was no ordinary person. He had an invincible master, and under his master’s tutelage, Pang Hong was bound to become Zuo Qiuhanyan’s deadly enemy.

Zuo Qiuhanyan’s face darkened, his murderous intent deepening. He no longer held back and unleashed his full power.

A rolling Demonic Energy gushed out, carrying with it an aura that could extinguish everything. The surrounding flowers and trees instantly turned yellow upon being engulfed by this Demonic Energy, with life rapidly draining away.

Boom!

Another terrifying punch was launched, the Demonic Energy raging, causing the Ghost God to weep as darkness enveloped everything.

Pang Hong, feeling the other party’s killing intent, also focused his attention, his Shenxiao Sword slowly moving.

The previous exchange had already made him realize the terror of this Demonic Way expert he was facing. The other party’s strength far exceeded Pang Hong’s initial estimation. The other party was definitely not an ordinary Fifth Order expert, but at least at the Spirit Realm’s Fifth Level, maybe even the Sixth Level.

First move·Nine Luminaries.

Even if demonic energy permeated several miles around, it could not obstruct the starlight. Countless starlights could be clearly seen piercing the encirclement of Demonic Energy and scattering over Pang Hong.

“Slash!”

Pang Hong’s eyes are filled with warfare, the Shenxiao Sword swung out, numerous thunderous blasts followed by starlight shining, a sword swung out, seemed like a starry river bursting out.

“Kill!”

Zuo Qiuhanyan, also raging, launched a massive punch.

Boom!

The sword light collided with the giant fist mark, like a volcano erupting, the earth and heavens went silent for an instant, the ground shook, and sand and stones flew around with the two of them at the center of the collision.

…

“Cough, cough…”

Pang Hong was sent flying backward, coughing up blood, which sprayed across the sky. His clothes were ragged and soaked with blood, his hair was messy and scattered, he was indeed in a sorry state.

His eyes held a touch of sorrow. The opponent was indeed much stronger than him. Even if he had the divine Shenxiao Sword in hand and executed his master’s supreme sword technique, he was still not the opponent’s match.

With the smoke dispersing, Zuo Qiuhanyan also emerged, still looking the same as before, evidently the intense aftermath of the battle hadn’t affected him at all.

“What a pity. You were supposed to be a rising star. But you insisted on seeking death. Don’t blame me, you should blame your master!” Zuo Qiuhanyan’s icy cold face, his eyes filled with murderous intent, he coldly said.

Being a practitioner in the Demonic Way, he certainly had nothing in killing decisively. Having decided to kill, he wouldn’t hesitate, even if his opponent had a seventh-level powerhouse in the spiritual realm as his backer.

If he had had some hesitation at the beginning, it had now completely disappeared. From the moment Pang Hong appeared before him, there was no room for compromise between him, Pang Hong, and Pei Xuanjing who stood behind Pang Hong.

He convinced himself that killing one as a warning to others and being one of the first to break the opponents’ rules, if the opponent wanted to enforce these rules, was the only reason he was still alive, otherwise, how could Pei Xuanjing enforce his rules and implement his will.

Therefore, the only path he had in front of him was to kill Pang Hong, flee away, and hide himself.

Until either he reached the Seventh Level of the Spirit Realm to be capable of self-preservation, or the other forces in Sky Wasteland returned to divert Pei Xuanjing’s attention, could he reveal himself to the world again.
