1999 Swallow Their Swords!

Fully trusting his instincts, the black-robed expert immediately retreated with a pale face.

He did not think that the earlier attack would only be a feint. The true threat was hidden amid the sword qi!

“It’s a High Immortal-tier sword!” The black-robed expert was stunned.

Weapons of such a tier were known to be incredibly prideful, so why would this sword submit to a mere Pseudo Immortal?

This was impossible!

However, this was not the time for his attention to be wandering away. He quickly turned around and backed away. “Where do you think you’re going!”

Driving the Gods’ Sword Intent within his body, the Tongshang Sword blurred into an afterimage, almost as if a drifting cloud that moved without leaving behind any traces.

Puhe!

Fresh blood spurted into the air as the black-robed expert cried out.

His hand had been severed.

However, Zhang Xuan did not show the slightest hint of relief despite having severed the other party’s hand. Instead, the look on his face turned even more livid.

He had brought out the Tongshang Sword and used the Gods’ Sword Intent, so he thought that he would be able to defeat the other party in a single strike. Yet, all that he had managed to do was sever one of the other party’s limbs!

This was not looking very good at all.

You… You are actually able to harm me?”

The black-robed expert looked at his severed hand on the ground with an incredulous expression. Gradually, his face warped into savagery, and with a furious roar, he whipped out a sword.

The only reason he had not used a weapon all that time was because he had thought that the other party was unworthy of him going so far. However, he realized that he might lose his life here if he continued underestimating his enemy.

Huala!

As soon as the sword appeared, the black-robed man slashed it down forcefully, producing a wheezing sound in the air. A golden burst of sword qi spanning several zhang[l] surged down on Zhang Xuan.

“This is a High Immortal-tier weapon?” Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in surprise as he quickly backed away.

He knew just how arrogant High Immortal-tier weapons could be—the Tongshang Sword that he was holding was one perfect example. If not for the means that he possessed, he would have had difficulty trying to tame it. Yet, the other party, despite being at the Heavenly True Immortal realm, was actually able to succeed.

This was truly terrifying!

Astonished, Zhang Xuan took out two Superior Immortal Pills and swallowed them.

Even though his cultivation had reached the Lesser True Immortal realm, he was still unable to seize a decisive advantage over the black-robed expert. Furthermore, there were three more powerful opponents lying in wait behind.

While dodging the offense of the black-robed expert, he made sure to keep a lookout for the movements of the other three, fearing that they would sneak an assault on him. However, those three remained completely motionless, impassive to the plight of their comrade at all.

He had no idea what those three were up to, but it was good news that they were not moving just yet. At the very least, this meant that he still stood a chance.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan dodged the golden outburst of sword qi through his nimble movements while counterattacking with his own surges of sword qi.

Dang dang dang dang!

As the two swords clashed with one another, sonic booms echoed deafeningly in the air. The combined might of Zhang Xuan’s zhenqi, physical body, and soul was so great that it felt like it could almost smash a mountain into bits, but somehow, every strike that he launched was easily deflected by the other party. It was as if the black-robed expert wielded boundless strength. No matter what was thrown at him, he would be able to take it without suffering any damage.

Zhang Xuan’s face grew more and more livid.

He had cultivated the Heaven’s Path Divine Art right from the start, which had given him extremely strong foundations. Furthermore, he had been through the Saint Ascension Ordeal and undergone multiple Ancient Sage Ordeals.

Typically speaking, his strength should have been able to easily match opponents whose cultivation was far higher than his.

Yet, this black-robed expert was actually fighting him on an equal footing. Not even the number one core disciple, He Jingxuan, would be able to do this!

In fact, even Sect Leader Han Jianqiu might not be able to match this black-robed expert’s strength when his cultivation was suppressed to the Heavenly True Immortal realm!
