My sword breaks me.
Before killing the enemy, I wound myself.
This is the path of the sword-head man, the path of slaughter.
"Boom."
With one sword strike, the sword-head man's face turned pale by a degree.
The sword light was sharp and fearless.
The sword of slaughter directly shattered Chen Fan's attack.
Killing intent drilled into Chen Fan's body, destroying his vitality.
The sword-head man's voice rang out coldly, "Remember my name, I am Qing Zhi."
Qing Zhi, son of the Azure Emperor.
As for his ranking, apologies, there were too many offspring to count.
Qing Yu was the little princess of the Imperial Palace. In the absence of the Heavenly Emperor, she was protected by a host of elder brothers.
Qing Zhi's arrival this time not only fulfilled his sister's promise but also sought justice for her.
No one dared to insult the Imperial Palace.
"Get out."
The rules permeated his body, shattering the sword intent of "breaking myself."
Immediately, the sword of Dao pierced through heaven and earth, arriving across the sky.
One sword, piercing the void.
A sword like a rainbow piercing the sun, raging in all directions of heaven and earth.
What "breaking my sword" was, it was nothing before my sword of ten thousand Daos.
"Rumble."
The pervasive sword intent of "breaking myself" was continuously destroyed.
This place became a vacuum, and everything vanished, leaving only the sword intent of ten thousand Daos.
This sword intent of ten thousand Daos still had some flaws.
There were too few Daos, but a nascent form of ten thousand Daos had appeared.
Lines of rules converged, forming over thirty Great Daos, transforming into a sword of Great Daos, which, with a 'boom,' directly struck down.
"Bang."
The moment the sword of Dao struck, it illuminated Qing Zhi's shocked face.
This sword shocked him.
This sword was not easy to block.
Qing Zhi's pupils contracted, and the next moment, he roared, "Heaven Severing."
Clang.
In his hand, another sword light appeared.
This sword actually possessed the power to sever the rules of heaven and earth.
Bang bang bang.
The rules of the sword of Dao were continuously severed by the sword of Heaven Severing.
With every inch severed, the power of the sword of ten thousand Daos weakened by an inch.
Until...
"Crack."
The sword of Heaven Severing shattered.
The sword intent of Heaven Severing, in the end, failed to sever all the rules.
"Roar."
The sword of rules transformed into a fire dragon.
A roar shook heaven and earth, and with a 'crack,' it bit off half of Qing Zhi's body.
Qing Zhi grunted, ignoring his injuries.
He raised his hand and pointed...
"Chih."
A sword finger.
No, it wasn't a sword finger, but a ring.
On Qing Zhi's hand, he wore a ring, and from it, a powerful and immense pressure suddenly emerged.
It was as if a figure was about to emerge from the void.
"Return."
Clang.
The long sword struck down.
The power of the rules attached to the ring was directly shattered by the sword strike.
With a 'crack,' the ring broke.
That figure, in the end, could not emerge.
"You..."
Qing Zhi's pupils contracted.
At this moment, looking at Chen Fan, his gaze finally held a trace of shock.
The previous shock and horror were nothing compared to what he was showing now.
How could this be?
Qing Zhi could not believe that this person had broken his eldest brother's Dao.
Among the countless offspring under the Yellow Emperor, Huang Tian was the foremost, taking great care of his younger brothers and sisters.
The same was true for the offspring under the Azure Emperor. That ring was a gift from his eldest brother, and at critical moments, his eldest brother would arrive with a clone.
But now, it had failed.
The sword of ten thousand Daos had shattered the power of the rules attached to the ring, preventing the other party from emerging through the channel of rules.
"Bang."
A foot landed on Qing Zhi's chest.
His body was kicked out of the airship-like great sword.
On the great sword were ten titled emperors trembling in fear.
These ten people had brought down the rain of rules upon Sword City for seven days, and now they were like lambs to the slaughter.
Chen Fan glanced at the ten people and said calmly, "I should have killed you, but you have done a good deed for Sword City. Since that's the case, I'll spare your lives. Scram."
He stomped his foot.
"Bang."
The great sword exploded directly.
The ten people fell downwards, landing in the mountains and forests outside the city.
They wouldn't die.
Even the weakest were titled emperors. If they died from falling, it would be a huge joke.
"Whoosh."
His figure instantly vanished from where he stood, pursuing Qing Zhi.
Sword light reappeared...
"Chih."
The brilliance of a sword seemed to be able to pierce through heaven and earth.
In mid-air, Qing Zhi's physical body was directly struck by a sword.
"No."
Qing Zhi's pupils contracted.
He couldn't dodge this sword at all. As the sword fell, a bloodline appeared on his brow.
Then, the bloodline spread...
"Ah..."
A shrill scream echoed through heaven and earth.
"My soul."
He screamed, "How dare you sever my soul? I will kill you."
"It is I who will kill you."
A cold voice interrupted Qing Zhi's words.
"Fire Dragon, come..."
Didn't you sever the Great Dao of the Dragon Spirit Fire Dragon?
Then you shall pay with your life.
"Roar."
The fire dragon reappeared.
With a roar, it directly swallowed Qing Zhi's physical body.
"Bang."
But the next moment, the fire dragon exploded.
A top-tier titled emperor's physical body was not so easily devoured.
Yet the fire dragon did so, and without hesitation.
The rules of the fire dragon were riddled with holes, but a sword intent rule permeated, repairing the shattered rules.
This was the harvest of the fire dragon's rules.
"Roar."
The fire dragon meandered and retreated unwillingly into the river of rules.
It was Chen Fan who voluntarily sent it back to the river of rules.
In the distance, Qing Zhi's physical body reappeared.
He was painfully covering his brow.
From his brow, drops of blood dripped, which were soul blood.
Souls also had blood, and shattered soul fragments were blood.
His spiritual world had been severed by Chen Fan's sword, and it would be difficult to repair in a short time.
His soul constantly dissipated, which was also the flow of life.
"Kill."
Chen Fan showed no mercy.
The killing sword reappeared...
One sword, another sword, and another sword...
With each sword, Qing Zhi could only dodge in embarrassment, yet he still suffered more wounds on his body.
The sword of ten thousand Daos was vastly superior in quality to his sword intent of "breaking myself."
Moreover, Chen Fan now was no longer the Chen Fan who fought Yan Wushuang.
The integration of the Great Dao of the demon race had raised his realm to a terrifying level.
Although he had not reached the Half-Emperor stage, he possessed the combat power of a Half-Emperor.
"Boom."
Finally, Qing Zhi's physical body exploded.
"Chen Fan..."
A resentful roar echoed.
It had to be said that Qing Zhi was tough. Even at this point, he did not beg for mercy.
He was still counterattacking.
"Clang clang clang."
The sword of "breaking myself" continuously attacked Chen Fan in a self-harming manner.
The sons of the Heavenly Emperor were not all like Huang Qi; they possessed the courage to die.
Qing Zhi had it, so he did not beg for mercy.
"Come on."
At this moment, Qing Zhi was like a madman.
The collapse of his spiritual world and the shattering of his soul had pushed him to the brink of death.
"Explode."
This son of the Heavenly Emperor self-destructed.
Rumble.
A massive roar shattered the void.
Great fissures in the void spread outwards, devouring everything.
Chen Fan reached out and grabbed, and ten thousand Daos emerged.
Each rule of Dao attached itself to the spatial rifts, blocking them one by one, and then slowly smoothing them out.
"Hmph."
After the calm, in the place where Qing Zhi had been, only a broken sword floated.
