That slash was so terrifying that even Su Zimo might not be able to withstand it!
Heavenly Secrets retracted his smile with a grim expression.
He had not expected that his bewitchment would force out the most terrifying Asura!
Slapping his storage bag with his left hand, Heavenly Secrets took out a protection talisman and tore it apart instantly, forming a defensive barrier around him.
At the same time, he changed his hand seals repeatedly.
“Mystic Firmament Dharmic Robe!”
“Mystic Firmament Mirror!”
Suddenly, a set of clothes that flowed with Dharmic powers appeared on Heavenly Secrets’s body and shone with a mysterious glow.
An ancient mirror appeared in his right hand and blocked the black light that descended from midair!
In the blink of an eye, Heavenly Secrets released three defensive methods!
Snap!
The Mystic Firmament Mirror was the first to shatter!
Under normal circumstances, this Mystic Firmament Mirror could reflect attacks.
However, the power of Yan Beichen’s slash was way too terrifying. The saber intent that was fused with the two fiend techniques of the Hatred Sutra and Asura Sutra was something that even the Mystic Firmament Mirror could not defend against and shattered instantly!
Right after was the defensive barrier formed by the protection talisman.
The true form of the Hatred Fiend Saber did not even manage to slash the barrier—the black light that burst forth was enough to slice the barrier into two!
Boom!
Thereafter, a loud bang sounded when the black light struck the Mystic Firmament Dharmic Robe heavily!
The Mystic Firmament Dharmic powers shattered and the true form of the Hatred Fiend Saber appeared. However, that slash did not slice Heavenly Secrets into two. Instead, it met with immense resistance!
Bang!
Heavenly Secrets smashed heavily onto the ground but he struggled to stand up before long. He was covered in dust and his face was pale as blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Heavenly Secrets’s robes were already torn by the Hatred Fiend Saber and his inner armor was exposed.
This was a defensive connate Mighty Figure Dharmic weapon and was extremely precious.
Previously, Heavenly Secrets suffered a loss at Heaven and Earth Valley. Ever since he returned, he wore this inner armor. Today, it saved his life.
In order to defend against the Asura’s slash, Heavenly Secrets had to use four defensive methods!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Right then, a jarring sound echoed from the inner armor.
Heavenly Secrets lowered his head.
A crack appeared on the inner armor and split it into two!
The light of the inner armor dimmed rapidly.
Swoosh!
The inner armor fell off from Heavenly Secrets and was completely crippled!
The crowd fell into an uproar.
That slash destroyed a connate Mighty Figure Dharmic weapon!
“Well, well, well…”
Heavenly Secrets nodded slowly. “As expected of the weapon of the Fiend Emperor Hatred. To think that it would possess such sharpness even after being sealed for so many years!”
“However, Asura, can you still release a saber intent as such?”
Heavenly Secrets sneered.
The combination of the two saber intents was not inferior to the thousands of Heaven Slaying Sword Qi that Su Zimo released instantly—it took a huge toll on his Essence Spirit.
It was impossible for him to release a second slash within a short period of time.
Heavenly Secrets had long seen through Yan Beichen’s facade and smiled. “Asura, you won’t be able to hold on for much longer. That slash had already expended everything you have!”
When Yan Beichen arrived before Enigma Palace, he was trapped in the Exquisite Killing Formation and nearly died.
By the time he came out, he was already covered in injuries.
However, he did not recuperate at all and fought against Heavenly Secrets with his injured body!
Up till this point of the battle, his injuries had worsened—the only thing that kept him on was a strong determination and hatred!
Of course, Heavenly Secrets’s situation was also terrible.
Yan Beichen pursed his lips without saying anything and continued charging over!
His footsteps were already staggered but his gaze was fixed on Heavenly Secrets without shifting at all!
Heavenly Secrets held his folding fan.
The two of them fought once more.
Blood splattered everywhere as the figures intertwined!
Yan Beichen was fighting with his life and wanted to kill Heavenly Secrets even at the risk of being severely injured.
This method of fighting restricted Heavenly Secrets.
His folding fan smashed towards Yan Beichen’s head.
However, Yan Beichen did not even look or defend. Instead, he slashed in reverse towards Heavenly Secrets’s glabella!
In less than a dozen breaths, Yan Beichen gained the advantage once more!
However, the two of them had expended too much of their stamina, Dharmic powers and blood qi up till this point of the battle and were left with almost nothing.
This battle was no longer just about technique and strength.
Instead, it was a competition of psychology and willpower!
Nobody knew who the eventual victor would be until the final moment.
The two figures crossed once more!
Heavenly Secrets’s folding fan smashed Yan Beichen’s arm.
Yan Beichen’s Hatred Fiend Saber sliced a gigantic wound on Heavenly Secrets’s chest with fresh blood!
Heavenly Secrets’s expression was already extremely terrible.
The wound caused by the Hatred Fiend Saber was extremely difficult to heal. Furthermore, it possessed the hatred fiend qi and was destroying his body continuously!
If this continued, there was a high chance he would fall first!
Gripping the Hatred Fiend Saber in his right hand, Yan Beichen used it as a walking stick and limped towards Heavenly Secrets.
His other arm was slumped at his side, his bones broken.
He no longer had any Dharmic powers in his body.
It was impossible to repair that broken arm!
Even so, the hatred and killing intent in Yan Beichen’s eyes did not change at all right from the beginning!
That gaze made Heavenly Secrets panic.
Finally, he could not hold it in any longer!
This was also his final trump card!
The Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!
Before the battle, he had specially requested from the storyteller a fair fight without anyone interfering.
The moment he made that request, he was already prepared to use the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!
Even if he channeled that fiend technique, no one could interfere!
Although not many people died before Enigma Palace, the refinement of that bloodline was enough for him to recover to his peak condition within a short period of time!
“Asura, it’s over,”
Heavenly Secrets looked at the Asura that walked over with a mocking expression. Channeling a mental cultivation technique, his eyes shone with a strange blood glint as he said slowly, “Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!”
“Not good!”
Su Zimo was alarmed.
This was the worry he had before the battle.
He knew the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra the best.
If Heavenly Secrets were to release the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, he could recover rapidly and there would be no doubt about the outcome of this battle!
When he saw that, the storyteller suddenly sighed and shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Yan Beichen did not seem to have heard what Heavenly Secrets said.
Or rather, he did not care at all.
No matter the cultivation technique Heavenly Secrets released, there was only a single obsession in his heart—to kill the latter!
Yan Beichen continued advancing and arrived before Heavenly Secrets before long.
He raised the Hatred Fiend Saber and slashed forward.
That slash was weak without any saber technique, let alone saber intent.
The fact that Yan Beichen could raise the Hatred Fiend Saber and slash down with his arm was already his limit.
At that moment, Heavenly Secrets’s expression changed starkly as though he was rooted on the spot. His eyes were widened as though he had seen a ghost!
Poof!
Under countless gazes, the Hatred Fiend Saber slashed at Heavenly Secrets’s head and its blade dug into his bones, almost splitting his head into two!
That slash even tore through Heavenly Secrets’s consciousness!
Naturally, even his Essence Spirit wouldn’t be spared!
What was going on?
Heavenly Secrets was dead?
The cultivators present were not the only ones; even Su Zimo was dumbfounded and looked at everything in disbelief..
