Chapter 686: Sword Abyss Spirit_3

Facing such a formidable opponent, it is naturally unwise to engage directly; one must first probe and test.

“Release Xing Man, or else, die!”

With a wave of his hand, the white mist surged within the Sword Abyss, Sword Qi darted around, instantly enveloping a hundred meters surrounding him, forming a prison of swords.

As for saying to release Xing Man, it was merely a probing remark.

Moreover, before entering the Sword Abyss, he had already plotted against Xing Man. Now, he looks down even further on Xing Man, who is merely at the initial stage of the Returning to the Origin Realm.

The fleeting gaze of disdain was caught by Chu Ming, hidden in it was also a murderous intent.

Clearly, Han Court’s desire to kill Xing Man hasn’t waned.

However, the other party seems unwilling to directly tear the facade, at least wanting to pretend in front of Xing Man.

“Man’er, with me here, this person won’t dare hurt you!”

As Han Court spoke, he stirred the clouds once more, countless Sword Qi gathered behind him, forming an Opening Heaven Seven-Star Divine Sword.

Xing Man looked at Han Court’s hypocritical face, suppressing any unusual expression.

Chu Ming could tell that Han Court was probing, coincidentally, he also wanted to see just how powerful Han Court had become after obtaining the Sword Spirit.

Stepping forward, the Seven-Star Divine Sword summoned, above, Seven Stars Linked Sword, True Intent Divine Techniques manifesting Seven Stars of Destruction.

Han Court was slightly alarmed in his heart.

This person has indeed comprehended True Intent!

But the surprise was fleeting, his eyes once more flashed with War Intent.

True Intent, originally unattainable, yet now, having obtained the Sword Spirit from the depths of the Sword Abyss, he too could wield True Intent!

Though it wasn’t comprehension, he could still unleash it.

“Sir, are you a True Disciple of the Divine Martial Kingdom, or the Ancient Immortal Kingdom, or perhaps the Celestial Veil Kingdom?” Han Court asked solemnly.

Among the thirty-three countries of the Ancient Profound Western Continent, those who could comprehend True Intent before opening the Divine Barrier were almost exclusively from the two most mysterious nations.

“None of them,” Chu Ming wielded the Seven-Star Divine Sword, whereupon the colossal Seven-Star Divine Sword above emitted pressure.

“Haha, from your attitude, you don’t intend to release Man’er,” Han Court lightly raised his hand, and the gigantic sword behind him also emitted pressure, “then let’s battle.”

As the words fell, the gigantic sword stirred the entire Sword Abyss Sword Qi, slashing out with a hum.

True Intent!

Chu Ming instantly perceived the genuine threat contained within Han Court’s strike.

The Seven-Star Slaughter, Sword’s True Intent—Seven Kills True Intent!

Han Court hadn’t previously comprehended True Intent, and could manifest it now, indicating that the opponent had mastered Seven Kills True Intent after obtaining the Sword Spirit.

Seven Kills True Intent, suffused with a killing aura, highly compatible with the Sword Dao’s slaughtering True Intent, more so than the Destruction and Silent Extinction True Intents Chu Ming had comprehended.

Hum—

The prison of swords resonated with Seven Kills True Intent, provoking countless Sword Qi vibrations in the Sword Abyss.

That strike seemed destined to obliterate everything within the Sword Abyss, including Xing Man, who had accompanied Han Court for centuries.

Xing Man gazed at the incoming strike, filled with hatred and anger, yet utterly powerless.

In a moment of despair, the sky, which should have faded, suddenly erupted with radiant light.

Looking up, two Opening Heaven Seven-Star Divine Sword Auras clashed, their collision point collapsing into a singularity.

The next moment.

Boom—

The collapsing point exploded with dazzling brilliance, terrifying energy erupted instantly.

Xing Man was directly blasted several hundred meters away by this shockwave, her Qi Blood chaotically disturbed.

Fortunately, the two Divine Swords didn’t target her, the impact was only residual, she coughed up several mouthfuls of crimson, her life spared.

Struggling to rise again, she looked towards the battlefield’s center, where two figures stood in the void.

Han Court’s expression was grave, surrounded by the Sword Qi of the Seven-Star Divine Sword, the Sword Spirit guarding before him.

The black-clad youth’s demeanor was tranquil, but a flicker of surprise crossed his deep-set eyes.

“Sir, to have merged Destruction True Intent into my Seven-Star Kingdom’s Divine Technique, Seven-Star Sword Technique, to such a degree surpasses even my mastery—impressive indeed.”

Having failed with one strike, Han Court once again manipulated the white mist and Sword Qi within the Sword Abyss.

“But if that’s your only move in this fight, then it can end now.”

As he spoke, he secretly invoked the newly acquired Sword Spirit, preparing to unleash the genuine Seven Kills True Intent.

The white mist served as a decoy, gathering Sword Qi within the Sword Abyss, even Sword Qi from the depths of the Sword Platform flew towards the site.

Gathering the Sword Qi within the entire Sword Abyss’s Seven Kills True Intent, today even the Eighth Realm arrives, Han Court has confidence to gravely wound, even fatally.

Of course, if he could successfully unleash it.

Chu Ming slightly raised his gaze, watching the densening white mist, [Sword Gourd Spirit] and [Book and Painting Realm] simultaneously warned of danger.

Han Court must be brewing some major move.

He cannot be allowed to succeed!

Within, the Qi and Blood Power gradually congealing, the sense of danger rapidly escalating.

Chu Ming’s eyes abruptly glowed, wielding the Seven-Star Divine Sword, condensing a Giant Sword in the sky.

Simultaneously, the Mutated Black Flame transformed into a black dragon.

Roar—

The black dragon roared forth.

Han Court’s expression slightly changed, yet remained unflustered, controlling the Sword Spirit to condense Sword Qi, hundreds of Sword Qi suddenly shot from the white mist towards the black flame dragon.

Facing the provocation, the black flame dragon opened its mouth like a black abyss, swallowing hundreds of Sword Qi at once, roaring heavenward, shaking its body, continuing towards its target.

What is that thing?!

It can even devour hundreds of Sword Qi?

Han Court struggled to maintain a cold expression, unable to covertly manipulate the Sword Spirit to gather Sword Qi from the Sword Abyss.

Instantly, he judged, if he didn’t evade, he might end up like those hundreds of Sword Qi, swallowed by the black flame dragon.

Escape!

Knowing oneself overpowered, fighting without evading is courting death.

Han Court had just acquired the Sword Spirit, naturally unwilling to die here.

The white mist surged, hundreds of Sword Qi shot toward the black dragon once more.

Then, he abruptly reversed direction, fleeing.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

His speed so swift, he darted into the white mist in an instant, vanishing from sight.
