Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 976 One Brilliant Strike

Everyone behind Jian Xu was terrified upon seeing this scene. In their eyes, Jian Xu was an invincible existence. Even their palace master must be cautious when facing him. How could Yun Lintian defeat him with a single strike?

“Puff!” Jian Xu coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He stared at Yun Lintian and the sword in the latter’s hand. “Without a wielder, a sword is nothing but a piece of metal. Are you saying I lose because your sword is better than mine? Hah! I have been practicing for more than three thousand years. This is the first time I heard such a ridiculous statement!”

Yun Lintian shook his head slightly. “Of course, it’s not only about the sword but also the understanding of its path.”

“Ridiculous!” Jian Xu was furious. “You are saying that my understanding of the sword’s path is inferior to you!? Hahaha! Don’t make me laugh.”

Yun Lintian didn’t say anything further. He raised his sword toward the sky, and his aura gradually calmed down.

A golden brilliance emerged on the blade and transformed into a thick beam, shooting toward the sky and scattering all the black clouds.

Jian Xu’s heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. He had never seen such a terrifying sword intent before in his life.

“Open your eyes and look at it carefully.” Yun Lintian’s calm voice drifted into everyone’s ears, waking them up from the trance.

As he finished his sentence, Yun Lintian swung the sword down. The golden brilliance instantly cut the sky in half as the mighty sword intent fell down along with the towering momentum.

“I don’t believe it!” Jian Xu roared, and his aura surged, expanding to the Heavenly Sword Divine City thousands of kilometers away.

As he tightened his grip on his sword, a powerful sword intent immediately surrounded the entire peak. The sword intent filled with a tyrannical lightning force that could instantly kill anyone with a simple touch.

Seeing this scene, Shen Liqiu quickly summoned the pagoda and brought Yun Qianxue, Linlin, Qingqing, and Jian Feng into it. Otherwise, they would undoubtedly die under the incoming crash of the two formidable sword intents.

Facing Jian Xu’s full force, Yun Lintian was unwavering and continued to swing the sword down.

The golden brilliance that trailed along the blade immediately broke Jian Xu’s newly formed thunder sword intent and burst it apart.

Jian Xu’s face turned to horror when he saw this scene. His heart, mind, and soul were instantly occupied by overwhelming fear. For the first time in his life, he was scared to the core.

Without thinking further, he brought his sword up and swung upward with all his might intending to repel Yun Lintian’s attack. Even if he could completely repel it, at least he must reduce its power to several degrees.

With a loud boom, the surrounding air burst as if it couldn’t withstand the force, followed by a cracking metal sound reverberating throughout the Heaven Piercing Peak.

“No!” Jian Xu cried out in terror as he saw the Heaven Bearing Sword break in half upon touching Yun Lintian’s sword.

The golden brilliance followed along, overwhelmingly swallowing Jian Xu’s entire being.

In that instant, a deafening explosion burst out, followed by the dazzling golden brilliance that painted everything with its radiance.

A while later, the golden brilliance scattered and faded away, revealing a deep, long crater on the ground where Jian Xu had stood previously. However, his body was nowhere to be seen.

In the distance, the two hundred people stared at the scene blankly, as if their souls had already left them. They couldn’t believe their eyes. The generation hero Jian Xu died just like that!

Yun Lintian let out a long breath. Droplets of sweat could be seen on his pale face. He had emptied his profound energy into this attack. Without a doubt, it was impractical to use it in an actual battle unless there was only one enemy at a time.

At the same time, he fully understood how scary the Heaven Piercing Sword and its supreme art were. They made him feel like he had just used a pig-slaughter knife to kill a chicken. It was simply overkilled.

“Puff!” Yun Lintian suddenly coughed up blood, and his entire body became rigid.

“Who let you use ten percent of the sword’s power?” Hongyue’s voice resounded in his mind. “To deal with him, you can knead him slowly until he is exhausted. There’s no need to launch a big move at all.”

Yun Lintian wiped the bloodstain out of the corner of his mouth and replied with a wry smile. “I wanted to know how powerful this sword is. I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even release more than ten percent of its power after exhausting all of my profound energy… It’s not suitable to use in this world, it seems.”

“Obviously.” Hongyue rolled her eyes.

“Are you alright?” Yun Qianxue appeared beside Yun Lintian and quickly channeled her profound energy to ease his injury. Her eyes were full of concern.

“You are too strong, husband!” Shen Liqiu looked at Yun Lintian admiringly. As expected from the man she personally chose.

Meanwhile, Jian Feng looked at the deep crater on the ground in a daze. No word could be used to describe his current feeling.

Jian Xu was like an unsurmountable mountain to him, but Yun Lintian could actually kill him in one stroke. Even though he was aware of Yun Lintian’s abnormally high talent, he couldn’t bring himself to accept it in a short time.

“No need to feel bad about it. With the Heaven Piercing Sword Art, this small world can no longer accommodate you. The Divine Realm should be your goal, not him.” Qing Xiaoting unknowingly arrived by Jian Feng’s side and patted his shoulder gently.

Jian Feng calmed down and said. “I understand, master.”

“Good.” Qing Xiaoting nodded with a smile.

“Alas, I was late.” A sigh came from above as Jian Han appeared with a white-haired old man.

He looked at the place where Jian Xu had disappeared with a complicated feeling. After all, both of them grew up together from a young age.

“I have seen Palace Master.” The two hundred people hurriedly bowed their heads toward the white-haired old man beside Jian Han.

The old man glanced at the sword in Yun Lintian’s hand and then at Qing Xiaoting. “What’s your decision, Ancestor?”

His words were like a thunderbolt struck everyone’s mind, making them petrified in the place.
