Chapter 577 - 575: The Strongest Sword

Under a barrage of countless swords.

Master Yuan Hui hurriedly mobilized the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, forming a protective barrier to shield both himself and his deceased disciple.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The swords rained down from the sky with astonishing lethality.

As they struck the protective barrier around Master Yuan Hui, they were instantly shattered by its incredible rebounding force.

But the swords were endless, coming in a continuous stream.

The roaring continued unabated.

Each time a sword exploded, it consumed a sliver of Master Yuan Hui’s Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Faced with this constant barrage, Master Yuan Hui’s expression turned grim.

’Although these swords can’t hurt me for now, it’s only a matter of time. Once my Cultivation Power is depleted, my death is certain.’

No matter how strong he was, his Cultivation Power was constantly being drained; it was bound to run out eventually.

At this rate, he wouldn’t last much longer.

They had come full of confidence, thinking the Jiang Family could be crushed with a single hand.

But what awaited them was the cruelest, most brutal of endings.

From within his protective barrier, he watched as the "sheep" were cut down one by one, collapsing into pools of their own blood after only a brief struggle.

Then, they reverted to their true forms—the experts he had brought with him.

Only a few "sheep" were left running, all of them the ones with relatively stronger Cultivation.

Unfortunately, after about a quarter of an hour, the last "sheep" also fell, reverting to the form of an expert from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, dead as could be.

’We all underestimated the Jiang Family.’

Only now did he deeply regret ever coming to the Jiang Family’s estate.

With a great Array like this, not even the full might of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom could guarantee the Jiang Family’s destruction.

He was only now realizing just how terrifying the Jiang Family truly was.

’No, damn it! How could the Jiang Family activate the great Array so early?’

’Could it be that they knew we were coming all along?’

Suddenly, a crucial point struck him.

The Jiang Family’s Array had been active from the moment they stepped inside.

This meant only one thing: the Jiang Family had been expecting them.

They had been caught like turtles in a jar.

’The only ones who knew about this were in the City Lord’s Mansion.’

’That bastard! Wen Quan actually betrayed us! He was the one who tipped off the Jiang Family.’

In that instant, realization dawned on Master Yuan Hui.

It all made sense.

But unfortunately, it was too late.

Patriarch Jiang Han, controlling the Infinite Sword Array, unleashed its divine might.

Watching the experts from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom being slain one by one, he was filled with a sense of triumphant vigor.

"There’s only one left."

"As expected of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s National Preceptor. The ordinary Sword Intent of the Infinite Sword Array can’t kill him."

Jiang Han remarked with a hint of admiration.

However, this was not the Infinite Sword Array’s most powerful killing move.

"Since you wanted to annihilate our Jiang Family, we won’t spare you either."

"Strongest Sword Intent, condense!"

Standing within the great Array, Jiang Han had everything under his control.

He watched Master Yuan Hui inside the Array, a cold glint in his eyes.

Although his own Cultivation was no match for Master Yuan Hui’s, he could use the Infinite Sword Array to eliminate him.

As Jiang Han’s words fell,

the swords that had been raining down upon the grassland suddenly stopped.

Master Yuan Hui was somewhat surprised.

Looking up, he saw the swords hanging in the sky once more.

They no longer seemed to pose a threat to him.

But his heart grew heavier. He could vaguely sense an intense killing intent brewing.

A killing intent aimed directly at him.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long.

WHOOSH!

A sharp, violent wind swept across the entire grassland.

The wind howled menacingly.

An aura of desolation and death swept over everything.

VMMMM!

Then, the myriad sharp swords began to vibrate in unison.

Master Yuan Hui’s expression changed drastically.

He sensed the impending crisis.

The next moment.

SWISH!

A sword suddenly flew out and merged with another.

Countless sharp swords began merging in pairs.

Two swords combined into one that was wider and larger.

Then, these wider, larger swords merged again in pairs.

The sharp swords continuously merged, growing larger and larger.

The countless swords eventually became one thousand and twenty-four greatswords.

Each of these one thousand and twenty-four greatswords was several hundred meters long and dozens of meters wide.

Then, the one thousand and twenty-four swords merged again, becoming five hundred and twelve.

The swords now were even wider and longer, a truly astonishing sight.

But the swords continued to merge and transform.

Two hundred fifty-six, one hundred twenty-eight, sixty-four, thirty-two, sixteen, eight...

Until finally, all the swords had merged into four.

Each of these four swords was like a Heaven-Cutting Sword.

They hung inverted in the sky at the four cardinal directions: north, south, east, and west.

Guarding the four corners of the world, they were the Four-direction Swords.

Each sword radiated a terrifying might, powerful enough to extinguish the heavens.

It was enough to slay any Martial Emperor Expert.

But it wasn’t over yet.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The four swords from the north, south, east, and west rapidly merged once more.

Until the four swords combined into a single blade.

This blade was the true Heaven-Shocking Sword.

It stretched between heaven and earth like a pillar, terrifying to behold.

Its height was unknown, its width immeasurable.

It simply hung there, suspended between heaven and earth.

Still inverted.

At a certain moment, the colossal, heaven-piercing sword began to rise slowly.

It turned over slowly, its tip pointing to the heavens.

Immediately, its brilliant light pierced the clouds and broke through the confines of the Infinite Sword Array itself.

Above Hanwu City, a dazzling beam of sword light shot into the sky.

Countless people watched this scene, their hearts trembling.

"GULP..."

Master Yuan Hui had been forced to watch this entire transformation.

Now, staring at the heaven-piercing sword, he swallowed hard.

"Such a powerful sword..."

When the words came out, his throat was hoarse and dry.

Faced with such a colossal blade, Master Yuan Hui was overcome by a profound sense of powerlessness.

A sword like this was truly capable of cutting down the heavens.

How could he possibly block it? How could he possibly resist?

And then.

WHOOSH!

The greatsword slowly tilted down.

And descended upon Master Yuan Hui.

Before the blade even arrived, its terrifying Sword Intent had already annihilated the grassland, causing all things to vanish.

The entire illusion crumbled.

In the shadow of the greatsword, Master Yuan Hui clutched the body of his disciple, Jue Wu, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness to accept his fate.

But he did not resist. Resistance was futile.

The greatsword pierced through space and fell.

POP!

The moment the greatsword fell upon Master Yuan Hui, he popped like a bubble in water, instantly bursting and evaporating.

Along with his disciple, he was utterly reduced to nothingness, vanishing from the world.

BOOM!

The Jiang Family estate erupted in an uproar.

All the clansmen cheered with excitement.

For they could all see it—their Jiang Family’s heaven-piercing sword.

How utterly invincible that single strike was.

Jiang Han let out a long breath.

The invading enemies were all annihilated.

It was an absolutely stunning outcome.

"Chen’er," Jiang Han murmured to the air, "the Jiang Family is safe. Everything is alright."

With that, Jiang Han deactivated the Array, and the Jiang Family estate returned to normal.

But every clansman was now filled with an unprecedented level of confidence in the Jiang Family.
