"Ugh!"
In the Divine Realm, the Asura God suddenly felt a pang of dread.
Unfortunately, the darkness was so great that even the Divine Realm couldn't observe the lower world. He still didn't know that his prized Asura Demon Sword was cracked.
…
"Jun Tianlin, your swordsmanship is not bad, but it lacks killing intent. Let me show you the true way of slaughter." Bibi Dong raised her arm, the Evil Spirit Pearl's image appearing and transforming into a long sword.
"Evil God Sword, Evil Sword Slash!"
"It's the Evil Sword Immortal's technique!" Tianlin's eyes narrowed. With this move, Bibi Dong was now a complete puppet of the Evil Sword Immortal.
"Heavenly Sword!" Tianlin wielded the Asura Demon Sword and unleashed the Shu Mountain Sect's ultimate move. It was his only option—the martial soul's sword was far weaker than the Asura Demon Sword.
"Seven Kill Sword Intent." Chen Xin knew the Heavenly Sword could absorb others' power to increase its strength, so he didn't hesitate to lend his strength.
"Angel Sword Intent." Qian Daoliu followed suit. While not as skilled as Chen Xin, he was still a top-tier swordsman, at least ahead of Bibi Dong.
With both sword intents infused, Tianlin's Heavenly Sword grew three times stronger, now able to match Bibi Dong's Evil Sword Slash.
A giant black evil sword and a blazing red Asura Demon Sword collided, shaking the entire continent. Though neither could win at first, the cracks on the Asura Demon Sword kept growing. If this continued, when the sword broke, Tianlin would lose.
"No, even with our power and the Heavenly Sword drawing on the world's spiritual energy, Xiao Tian can only temporarily match Bibi Dong. But the Asura Demon Sword is still inferior to the Evil Spirit Pearl. When it breaks, we'll all die," Chen Xin said gravely. "Rather than that, let me fight alone."
Chen Xin's sword energy surged, a sword formation spreading from his feet.
"Master, stop!" Tianlin shouted, knowing Chen Xin was about to use a life-sacrificing move. But without Ning Fengzhi nearby, he would surely die.
Chen Xin had finally defeated Qian Daoliu and was just one step from godhood—how could he die now?
"Xiao Tian, don't be sad. As your teacher, how can I always hide behind my disciple? Besides, it doesn't matter if I die; my swordsmanship has a successor. Carry on the Seven Kill and Destruction Sword paths—that's all I ask." Chen Xin said calmly, ready to die.
"What resolve!" Qian Daoliu sighed. To give up becoming a god just to give his disciple a chance—he wasn't sure he could do it himself.
"If that's the case, I can't lose to you. You have a disciple, I have a granddaughter. For Xue'er, I don't mind dying. Jun Tianlin, I entrust my granddaughter to you—take care of her." Qian Daoliu's angelic power surged, using the Angelic Will, his clan's life-burning technique.
Sensing these two powers, Bibi Dong finally panicked. She had just fused with the pearl and couldn't use its full power. If her opponents went all out, she wouldn't escape unscathed.
"Damn you, if you want to die, don't drag me with you! Soul Bone Skill, Blood Massacre!" Bibi Dong kept up her Evil Sword Slash, launching a red beam at the three men. Under her evil domain, the power was ten times what it had been against Di Tian.
"Third Soul Skill, Flow of Wind and Water! Soul Bone Skills: Blood Transformation and Rebirth!" Tianlin risked great soul power loss, using the Heavenly Sword to break Bibi Dong's attack, then unleashed two soul bone skills—not at Bibi Dong, but at Chen Xin and Qian Daoliu.
Their powers were scattered, stopping their sacrificial moves. Tianlin wouldn't let Chen Xin die.
Facing Blood Massacre, Tianlin was confident his Bat King soul bone would keep him alive. Even if he was exhausted afterward, he could use his recovery skill to fight Bibi Dong again.
"Xiao Tian, dodge!" Chen Xin, his sacrifice interrupted, rushed to pour all his soul power into Tianlin to help him.
"Haha, you two have a deep bond. My master sent me to help you for a good reason!" At that moment, a black shadow rushed into the battlefield.
With dragon claws, the figure blocked Bibi Dong's attack.
It was Dragon God's Claw—the black-cloaked man could only be Di Tian, Beast God.
"Break!" Di Tian roared, shattering the attack.
His hands glowed red, showing he was injured too.
"Bibi Dong, you're much stronger than in the Star Dou Forest. Back then, I could block that attack with one hand. Now, it takes both."
"Di Tian, why are you here? This is a human war—what does it have to do with soul beasts?" Bibi Dong shouted.
"Hehe, human? Are you even human anymore, with all that evil energy? Look at these clouds covering the continent—don't you think this war affects soul beasts too?" Di Tian sneered. "We soul beasts won't sit and wait for death. I'm here for one reason: to give this—"
"Jun Tianlin, catch!"
Di Tian tossed a green-handled sword to Tianlin.
Tianlin rushed to catch it, drew the sword, and instantly, righteous energy soared, dispersing half the darkness in the sky.
Even Bibi Dong's evil domain couldn't suppress it. This sword was the bane of all evil.
Tianlin stroked the blade, confidence surging. "Demon-Suppressing Sword, you're finally here. With you, I'm sure to win this fight!"
