Chapter 14 – Black and White Xuanjian vs. Yan Jun
Facing Yan Jun’s interrogation once again, Black and White Xuanjian remained unmoved.
Instead of a response, it was a sword that met him. This sword tore through the void, incredibly fast. Even Yan Jun couldn’t react in time; he could only rely on instinct to dodge, but his neck was still grazed, leaving behind a trace of blood.
“So fast! I couldn’t even react in time! It seems I can’t hold back anymore! Divine Flame Engulfs All!”
Yan Jun pushed his Divine Skill to its limit. Accompanied by surging true energy, the Red Flame Divine Sword ignited like a stick.
A fierce burst of hot energy erupted, even the surrounding rainwater evaporated by the heat, turning into wisps of white mist.
Despite Yan Jun’s imposing power, Black and White Xuanjian remained unfazed.
The black and white twin swords in his hands erupted with streams of black and white sword qi, exuding a strong sword intent from his eyes.
His lips curled slightly.
“Very strong. Only such a strong opponent can temper my sword path!”
As both prepared, seemingly communicating telepathically, they charged at each other.
One black, one red—two figures moved at incredible speed, like shooting stars, colliding instantly.
Clang!
Three sharp swords clashed, sparks flying.
Bang!
A tremendous energy burst, a bowl-shaped ripple spreading in all directions.
Buildings around instantly collapsed; houses nearby were destroyed as if a hurricane had passed through.
In the center of the energy, Yan Yang felt the danger and thought, “This is bad.”
He was immediately thrown by the terrifying energy, crashing into a stone wall. His body felt on the brink of collapse, internal injuries severe, spitting blood before losing consciousness and fainting.
Trample, trample …
Struggling with the rebound of the energy, Yan Jun found it challenging to withstand, continuously retreating. Each step caused the stone slabs on the ground to crack, leaving imprints about an inch deep.
The tiger’s mouth holding the sword in his right hand cracked, dripping blood, his arm trembling continuously.
Clearly, he was injured in the previous clash.
Yan Jun’s martial cultivation reached the late stage of the Celestial Realm. Yet, even facing Black and White Xuanjian, he was completely at a disadvantage, demonstrating the latter’s immense strength.
His expression grew graver, facing the strongest enemy he had ever encountered.
Up to this point, he still couldn’t understand how the Divine Flame Sect had offended such a terrifying force.
Seeing Yan Jun being pushed back, Black and White Xuanjian seized the opportunity, continuously wielding the black and white twin swords.
The black and white sword qi erupted incessantly.
Facing Black and White Xuanjian’s attack once more, Yan Jun could only meet it head-on.
The two clashed again.
Two figures, one black and one red, collided continuously in the rainy night.
The sound of their confrontation was incessant.
Clang, clang, clang …
Flames exploded around, soil flying everywhere.
The intersecting sword energy left many marks on the ground, each exuding intense sword intent.
“Hey!”
Suddenly, Black and White Xuanjian shouted, their right hand’s power suddenly increased several times, body spinning in the air, gathering momentum.
Slash!
As the words fell …
Clang!
Yan Jun held the hilt of the Red Flame Divine Sword to resist, but he was somewhat caught off guard by this instant eruption.
Whoosh!
Yan Jun was pushed back by this immense force, sliding several zhang on the ground before flipping backward to dispel the force.
Drip!
A drop of blood fell from Yan Jun’s mouth into the water. His appearance was extremely miserable at this moment, his crown lost, clothes torn, blood dripping from his right hand.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he looked up at the pitch-black sky, rain beating wildly against his face.
He wanted to ask the heavens what he had done wrong to attract such a powerful enemy, leading to the destruction of the entire Divine Flame Sect, the deaths of ten core elders, with one’s fate unknown. He also knew he wouldn’t survive tonight.
Crackle!
At this moment, lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating Yan Jun’s pale face.
Holding the Red Flame Divine Sword, he looked at the ruins before him, his heart aching. This was the culmination of his life’s work.
He glanced at the elders partially buried in the ruins, then turned to the unconscious Yan Yang. Finally, he glanced at Black and White Xuanjian.
He no longer felt anger at this moment. He had anticipated a day like this, but he hadn’t expected it to come so soon.
Yan Jun slowly spoke, “I don’t know who you are or how we offended you, causing such disaster. But you’ve slaughtered over 1800 of our members. Even if I perish today, I’ll drag you down with me.”
With that, Yan Jun pounded his chest, spewing a large mouthful of blood onto the Red Flame Divine Sword.
Hum!
The sword suddenly burst into a golden light. The dissipated flames rekindled, turning into golden flames, extremely violent and hotter than before.
The intense golden light instantly illuminated the pitch-black rainy night, distorting the entire space with its scorching heat.
“Very strong! Paying with one’s life to briefly exceed one’s limits!”
Black and White Xuanjian looked at Yan Jun emanating even more terrifying power, but their expression remained unchanged. As Black and White Xuanjian had said, Yan Jun was using his blood as a catalyst, burning his own life to gain greater strength.
However, such a secret method had a fatal flaw—it could only be used once in a lifetime. This kind of technique would directly deplete one’s life until death.
“A powerful individual should have a dignified death!”
As Black and White Xuanjian spoke, a stronger aura burst forth.
At this moment, something bizarre happened.
Under the illuminating golden light of the Red Flame Divine Sword, eight shadows appeared behind Black and White Xuanjian. Each shadow was different—a senior, a woman, a child, a man.
“This …”
Seeing this spectacle, Yan Jun’s pupils shrank abruptly, his face filled with extreme fear.
“Are you human or ghost?”
Facing Yan Jun’s inquiry, Black and White Xuanjian responded with action. They leaped into the air, and the eight black shadows behind them condensed, merging into the black and white twin swords.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
A tremendous aura!
A thick killing intent!
A terrifying sword intent!
The three merged into one within their body.
“Black and White Xuanjian, Life for Life, Reverse Blade Subdues the Soul!”
The ultimate sword move!
The ultimate sword intent!
The ultimate sword qi!
This strike had already surpassed the Celestial Realm, touching upon the Dao!
Listening to Yan Jun’s words and combining them with the black and white twin swords, Yan Jun calmly said, “Black and White Xuanjian, huh?”
“It seems this is the first useful information I’ve obtained tonight!”
“To die at the hands of such a strong opponent is not a loss!”
At this moment, Yan Jun, unlike before, didn’t have the same thoughts. In the hands of such a formidable opponent, merely being alive was likely due to their mercy.
If he had used his strongest methods from the beginning, he might not have lasted even three moves.
The reality was just as Yan Jun had expected. They had been constantly cultivating for nearly a decade, rarely acting. Now facing a true powerhouse, Black and White Xuanjian naturally wanted to have a good fight.
