Xue An remained silent.
In fact, he couldn’t have spoken right then, because the punch he just received had shattered not only his bones and meridians but also all his internal organs.
Logically, Xue An should have been dead and gone.
Yet, he stood up once again.
All because he had paid a tremendous price, sacrificing all broken causal ties, leaving only hope for life.
As they say, heaven always leaves a door open. No matter how intractable a situation may seem, there’s always a tiniest possibility of survival hidden within.
And Xue An, through this rule, forcibly found a whisper of life where none should have existed.
Seeing Xue An’s flesh rotting, bones grinding against each other with a sound so jarring it made one’s teeth ache, Eastern Emperor Taiyi couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Being a top-tier evil entity, having lurked in Sky Beyond the Skies for eons, he had seen countless individuals.
Among them were many exceptionally talented ones, but none as ruthlessly determined as Xue An.
This ruthlessness was not only towards enemies but also towards himself.
Who else could sustain themselves in such a hopeless death situation without giving up?
Who else could threaten with a sword even under such grievous injuries?
But this panic was fleeting; what followed was rage capable of scorching the heavens.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi knew clearly that if he couldn’t erase the threat Xue An posed, his own fate would be utterly dire.
So he dared not underestimate Xue An any longer, let out a grunt, and summoned all his power, attempting to crush Xue An into dust.
But just then, Xue An raised his bloodshot eyes, and once more thrust his sword.
With the first sword, the intent was so weak it merely stirred a faint breeze.
The second sword was slightly better but still lacked force.
Only by the third sword did it barely start to take form.
And now Xue An has released the sixth sword, which instantly shattered the overwhelming force Eastern Emperor Taiyi launched, carrying unparalleled majesty, aiming straight for Taiyi’s face.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi knew things were bad, dodging swiftly to the side.
For he had never seen such a bizarre sword intent.
It seemed to encompass everything, yet appeared empty.
The key was, from the first sword to now, the power showed exponential growth.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi finally understood that Xue An was now wielding a truly destructive sword intent.
Just like the methods Taiyi employed, sacrificing all possibilities to kill him.
Full of utter madness.
Suddenly!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi realized why Xue An had said those words at the beginning.
This seemingly fragile, even gentle-looking youth harbored a chilling madness.
In a daze, Eastern Emperor Taiyi almost felt a moment of sympathy for the enemy Xue An spoke of.
Wasn’t it the same scenario he faced back then?
A complete madman, an endless pursuit?
Unbeknownst to him, even Eastern Emperor Taiyi didn’t notice that under these few moves, the battlefield’s dynamics had drastically shifted.
Then he heard a mocking voice in his ear.
"You’re doomed! This time I say it, and no one can save you."
And at the same moment, outside the Shen Family’s Starry Domain, someone else was saying similar words.
Fen Hong, with a face full of madness, commanded the newly hatched evil entities to launch wave after wave of attack on the Shen Family’s Starry Domain.
"The master swordsman who wielded the sword before is clearly gone; now the Shen Family is ours! No one can stop us!"
Indeed.
With targeted optimization, these newly hatched evil entities exhibited immense dominance over all the Shen Family’s Sword Cultivators.
Even though the Store Manager, who wielded the Sword Ancestor’s Longsword, remained, swords couldn’t wield themselves, and Shen Muyu, now the newly crowned Family Head who just inherited the legacy, was far from forming a fighting force.
So when Fen Hong and Yin Hei exhausted all efforts to overthrow the Shen Family, everyone there bore immense pressure.
"Family Head, please, first take the Store Manager and leave, we’ll hold the fort!"
"That’s right, as long as you and the Sword Ancestor’s Longsword remain, the Shen Family won’t fall; there’s no need for pointless sacrifices!"
Some began to urge Shen Muyu to leave.
But Shen Muyu, having fiercely engaged in battle, wasn’t about to abandon his people to escape.
"No more talk! I’m not leaving; even if I die, I’ll kill every last one of these scum!" Shen Muyu shouted with fierce determination.
However, the battle’s outcome isn’t defined by individual resolve, and as their strength waned, the tide shifted increasingly toward Fen Hong and the evil entities.
Yet at this moment, in the distant void, an army was advancing grandly.
Their sights were set firmly on the evil entities’ direction.
