Jing Ke and Wanyan Wulu, locked in a fierce battle, suddenly broke apart, their gazes fixed on the quieting elemental energy fluctuations at the border.
After the two had traversed dozens of miles and exchanged dozens of blows, the border in the distance suddenly erupted with sword and saber intent, stirring the distant, overcast sky!
As quickly as it came, it vanished. In a mere few breaths, the dark, cloud-laden sky cleared, and the howling winds and swirling sand once again swept across the heavens.
After a brief glance, both men’s eyes immediately returned to their opponent, their sharp gazes locked on each other, not daring to slacken for an instant!
Regardless of the outcome at the border battlefield, neither of them cared at this moment. For Wanyan Wulu, even if Yue Xia Jing Yu and A Nai Jin Gu were both annihilated, as long as he remained alive, the overall battle situation would not be affected.
“Dark Shadow Yin-Yang Sword Art!!”
As they stared intently at each other, Jing Ke broke the silence first.
The words had barely left his lips when two sword lights instantly materialized in the void, one bright and one dark, slowly converging and intertwining, stretching across the sky. The two sword lights erupted with boundless sharpness.
The bright sword radiated dazzling light, like the scorching sun high in the sky, a pillar supporting the heavens, standing tall in the void. It exuded a profound sword intent, illuminating the upper void as if a great sun had appeared, bathing all in Buddhist light.
The dark sword was as black as ink, like the night descending upon the heavens, an endless, pitch-black abyss from which darkness was born. It brought forth an icy chill that froze the nine heavens and permeated all realms, staining the lower void, like eighteen layers of hell, devoid of light.
Wanyan Wulu was deeply shaken by this world-obscuring sword technique that stained the firmament. He roared towards the sky and directly brandished his Blazing Moon Saber, igniting a sea of flames.
Slash!
A saber glow that spanned the sky, like an inverted golden hook, swept forward. In an instant, the long saber seemed to be a celestial awl, directly tearing through the endless clouds, cleaving them in two!
At that moment, Wanyan Wulu’s saber glow surged, his boundless elemental energy continuously compressing and condensing. The roaring sharpness threatened to explode at any moment, consuming everything.
The searing elemental energy continuously brushed against Jing Ke’s face. This void had been divided into three distinct worlds by the two of them.
One side was filled with golden light, emanating a gentle radiance; the other was as dark as the abyss, cold and silent; and the third was a fiery inferno, with heavenly flames pouring down!!
The saber glow, radiating the scorching heat of the sun, pressed forward relentlessly, slashing towards Jing Ke. His eyes suddenly closed, disregarding the surging inferno of flames.
“He… How dare he! Presumptuous!!”
Wanyan Wulu, seeing Jing Ke ignore him, was instantly enraged. Who was he? A top master from the Jin Kingdom! Did this person from this barren land dare to disregard his full-powered strike?
“Hmph!”
Wanyan Wulu clenched his fists around the Blazing Moon Saber, which instantly flared with light. A saber several dozen feet long materialized, burning with layers of heat, and slashed down!
Just as the Blazing Moon Saber was about to descend upon Jing Ke’s head, his tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open. Countless sword energies erupted from his eyes, piercing through the abyss, determined to drag Wanyan Wulu’s soul into the netherworld.
“Slash!!”
Jing Ke pointed his right index finger forward. The sword energies that burst from his eyes crazily intertwined with the Yin and Yang swords, causing the void to tremble.
Clang!!
The Yin and Yang swords, one in front and one behind, pierced through, directly striking the sky-obscuring sea of saber fire. The two swords exuded a menacing aura, vicious and sinister, chilling the heavens and earth. Wanyan Wulu’s expression changed drastically, and he became flustered.
“Kill!!”
Wanyan Wulu roared, shaking off his panic. His eyes flashed with cold light, and he fiercely swept his gaze across the black-robed man standing calmly in the void.
Boom!!
Their killing moves collided fiercely in the void, erupting with blinding light. The color of the light was indiscernible; one only felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the world was overturning.
Bang bang bang!!
Successive impacts reverberated, causing the void to boil. A large expanse of yellow sand was churned up, resembling a vast, ancient curtain, blurring the heavens and earth.
Jing Ke remained standing in the void, his feet not moving an inch. Only the two streams of light, one bright and one dark, twirling between his middle finger and thumb, controlled the bright and dark swords as they relentlessly struck at the desperately resisting Wanyan Wulu.
Bang!!
The bright sword shattered upon contact with the Blazing Moon Saber, extinguishing all the roaring flames of the saber.
The furious sword energy swept towards Wanyan Wulu’s saber-wielding arm, shredding the thick, hard armor and leaving several deep cracks. Sudan Novel Network
“What powerful sword intent!”
Wanyan Wulu’s pupils contracted. Even with his preparations, he had still been significantly affected.
Clang!!
Immediately after, the dark sword swept forward, its dark light traversing the expanse, like the pouring of sun, moon, and stars. Amidst the endless darkness, tiny starlight flickered.
Rumble rumble!!
The dark sword instantly swallowed the Blazing Moon Saber. The surging yellow sand turned into graphite, like a celestial dog devouring the sun, instantly shrouding this realm, making it impossible to see one’s hand in front of one’s face.
The Blazing Moon Saber exploded with a roar, and Wanyan Wulu’s saber-holding arm also shattered, all the way to his trapezius muscle.
Wanyan Wulu hastily turned, enduring the intense pain, and instantly dodged and weaved through the void, evading the relentless consumption of sharpness.
A slight smile appeared on Jing Ke’s lips. His full-power strike could not be easily evaded by mere evasive maneuvers.
This Dark Shadow Yin-Yang Sword Art was not released and uncontrolled. The true control of its direction lay in the two streams of light, one bright and one dark, entwined around his middle finger.
At this moment, only one dark stream of light remained, darting back and forth between his fingers, its brilliance dimmed.
Jing Ke’s expression was calm, his eyes constantly tracking Wanyan Wulu as he weaved and dodged. Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and he thrust his middle finger forward. Instantly, the dark light spread out, like a dragon emerging from the sea, soaring through the nine heavens.
Clang!!
The dark sword moved with extreme speed, directly locking onto the fleeing Wanyan Wulu. Relentless killing intent continuously enveloped Wanyan Wulu.
Wanyan Wulu let out a roar, his eyes filled with fear. Before his voice could escape, it was completely swallowed by the surging darkness!
As the dark light dissipated, only the sharp sword aura filled the world of yellow sand.
Wanyan Wulu, a top-tier master of the Jin Kingdom, was dead!
The army, ordered to march, arrived at the border only to find their three master commanders weeping, having died in a foreign land.
Without the protection of master cultivators, the fate of the hundred-thousand-strong army was predictable.

Chang’an City.
Yang Hao sat steadily in the Xuanzheng Hall of the newly constructed royal palace, reviewing the detailed plans for the coronation ceremony drafted by Bao Zheng.
“Ding! Jing Ke has slain a level nine master, obtaining 19,000 kill points. Dan Xiongxin has slain a level six master, obtaining 16,000 kill points. Zhang Han has slain a level six master, obtaining 16,000 kill points.”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completely annihilating 100,000 Jin soldiers, earning a total of 60,000 kill points.”
