The long-prepared "One Sword Breaks the Heavenly Pride" finally unleashed its full power!
Ten thousand beams of sword light exploded violently in the air!
It was as if ten thousand celestial rainbows, capable of piercing the sun and moon, had appeared simultaneously in an instant!
These ten thousand dazzling sword rays were aimed at only one person!
Facing such an astonishing ultimate move, Qiang Shang Nuju roared loudly, his body spinning even faster, his twin sabers working in tandem to defend, forming a whirlwind in mid-air, hoping to evade the coming storm of ten thousand swords!
But against the countless, inescapable, and densely packed sword lights, Qiang Shang Nuju roared and screamed incessantly!
He, who had only been attacking wildly moments before, was now trapped in the perilous situation of being furiously assaulted!
Regret! That was the only thought in Qiang Shang Nuju's mind right now! Why did I choose to fight him head-on? Why was I so overconfident as to not use the Hidden Killing Technique?!
I hate this so much!
Xiong Kaishan's face was cold and ruthless. Although blood still poured constantly from his mouth, his will was firm as a boulder. He continued to drive the long sword in his hand, pushing the technique, the One Sword Breaks the Heavenly Pride, to its absolute maximum potential!
Suddenly, a piercing, inhuman scream tore through the air; those present were utterly unable to discern who had uttered it!
Immediately following, dozens of streams of blood shot out from scores of directions in the sky! It was as if a gigantic, bloody porcupine had suddenly materialized overhead! On the ground, the crowd watched the tragic battle above, not daring to breathe a single gulp of air.
Who had won and who had lost would be revealed in the next instant!
Finally, amidst Xiong Kaishan's grand, robust, booming laughter, his entire body plummeted rapidly.
No, it wasn't a controlled descent; he fell helplessly from the air!
Clearly, Xiong Kaishan's own strength had been completely exhausted!
"I will kill you! I must kill you... you damned bear!" This time, two sharp screams sounded simultaneously. The voice that had been deep and powerful was now pitched as sharply as the original female voice. And that female voice was now reduced to a dying groan!
Qiang Shang Nuju Xiong Jing’s body had been cleaved into two pieces.
At some unknown point, his original body had been split in two by Xiong Kaishan’s sword strike!
And Xiong Kaishan had only lost all strength after delivering that final blow!
But such injuries were potent enough to be fatal even to a Supreme Heavenly Ninja! The severed connection between the two bodies spewed alien blood in torrents, as if it were free!
The two figures simultaneously shot toward Xiong Kaishan's limp, falling form like falling stars, their long sabers still gleaming—ruthlessly!
Eagle King roared, soaring upward like lightning, rushing to aid Xiong Kaishan—but it was clearly too late!
The distance between Xiong Kaishan and Qiang Shang Nuju was simply too close!
Qiang Shang Nuju’s male body snarled ferociously, plunging his long saber deep into Xiong Kaishan's left chest, then maliciously twisting it with savage force. Simultaneously, the female body's saber descended like a bolt of lightning across Xiong Kaishan's right shoulder! It sheared relentlessly down to his abdomen!
The Bear King's internal organs were spilled outside!
This was Qiang Shang Nuju's final counterattack!
In truth, the moment he was pierced by the sword, his fate was sealed!
So, after these two strikes, his two bodies dropped down with a heavy thud.
Anyone could see that Qiang Shang Nuju, the wild saber Earth Ninja of the alien race, was finished.
But his opponent, the Heavenly Punishment Bear King Xiong Kaishan, also had absolutely no hope of survival!
The final result was mutual destruction!
In the distance, Bear Sacred Venerable shuddered violently, his face chalk-white. His mouth opened wide, and his hands reached out as if to catch something, but finally dropped powerlessly. "...Huang Sacred Venerable's lips trembled, and he sighed deeply.
"King!" The three thousand Bear Clan warriors roared in unison, their cry filled with extreme anguish. Grief and fury washed over their rugged faces! The eyes of all three thousand turned blood-red!
If the King dies, we will slaughter the alien race! We will avenge the King!
A gleaming long saber was still embedded in Xiong Kaishan’s waist and abdomen. His mighty body had been nearly sliced in half. But as he fell from the air, he used the last reserves of his strength to force a turn, finally landing steadily on his feet, standing firm.
He staggered a few times.
Blood sprayed from his mouth, but he managed to stand steadily!
His eyes were already vacant and unfocused, yet they still radiated an arrogant defiance!
Thud. Thud. Two sounds echoed as Qiang Shang Nuju’s two halves fell before Xiong Kaishan. Both pairs of eyes stared at Xiong Kaishan with venomous hatred.
"Hahaha..." Xiong Kaishan choked on blood as he laughed. "Scum! You died before this old man, didn't you?! No matter how shameless you were, fighting two against one, you still died by my hand!! Damn it, two heads, two bodies—is that so impressive? Hell no, one slice and you still had to die?"
"Nonsense! Let’s see who dies first!" Qiang Shang Nuju gasped painfully. The two mutilated bodies somehow twisted and fused together in the blood and gore, glaring at Xiong Kaishan with infinite malevolence. "Bear King, if I can't watch you take your last breath, how can this seat precede you in death!"
"You want to watch me die?" Xiong Kaishan coughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke. Flesh seemed to peel away from his body, his half-intact form flickering as if it might fall off at any moment.
He gritted his teeth, shockingly pulled the long saber out of his own body, tossed it to the ground with a clang, stumbled a couple of steps, then inhaled sharply and forced his two nearly severed body halves together. A bizarre, extreme smile spread across his pale face. "You are destined to be disappointed!"
Saying this, his only functional left hand moved, and he produced a pill from somewhere unknown, tossing it back and swallowing it in one gulp.
"Taking medicine? Hahaha... You think medicine will help with injuries like this? To buy you a few more moments? Not unless there is truly a miracle in this world!" Qiang Shang Nuju mocked, watching Xiong Kaishan.
But the next moment, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost!
In fact, something truly unbelievable was happening!
After Xiong Kaishan swallowed the strange pill, a burst of purple mist suddenly erupted from his entire body! Intertwined with it were wisps of fresh, emerald green—the color of life! The color of life's radiance!
Divine, strange purple spiritual energy constantly emanated from Xiong Kaishan, and then, Qiang Shang Nuju watched in despair as the parts of the opponent’s body that had clearly been severed were, inexplicably, rejoining. The bleeding stopped, and the entire body began to heal, slowly, but clearly visible to the naked eye...
The massive gash across his chest slowly contracted, and in the time it took to blink, it vanished...
Xiong Kaishan laughed heartily; his body was completely healed!
What else could this be but an unbelievable miracle?
The Bear King tentatively stretched his arms, then moved his legs, as if waking from a dream. Looking at Qiang Shang Nuju’s eyes, which were stretched to their limit, Xiong Kaishan curled his lip dismissively, wiggled his hips, and made faces. "Monster! You wanted to see your Grandpa Xiong die first? Too bad, you’re disappointed! Want to fight me? Well, I have medicine! Do you? Are you angry? Are you disappointed? Are you filled with sorrow and rage? Hahahaha... I understand you. Understanding reigns supreme..."
Qiang Shang Nuju roared in utter grief and indignation, then both halves of his body suddenly leaped up stiffly like dead fish! Both right hands trembled as they pointed at Xiong Kaishan, and then, with a final effort, they stiffened in the air and fell down with a snap.
Life was gone! But all four eyes remained wide open, refusing to close in death!
Xiong Kaishan laughed boisterously, but his eyes subconsciously flicked toward the north. He thought to himself: Thank you, brother-in-law! It was you... who gave this old Bear a second life!
If one were to judge purely by Qiang Shang Nuju's innate cultivation, he was actually superior to Xiong Kaishan. After all, his power was earned through painstaking, incremental cultivation, whereas a considerable portion of the Bear King's power came from elixirs. Furthermore, combining his male and female forms multiplied his power far beyond double. Even without resorting to his hidden assassination techniques, Xiong Kaishan facing him meant certain death! If he had deployed the Hidden Killing Technique, even if Xiong Kaishan and Eagle King had joined forces, the hope of victory would have been extremely slim!
The alien race's wild saber Earth Ninja was inherently the most vicious—not to be trifled with!
But in this battle, he had made far too many miscalculations! Firstly, the greatest miscalculation was never imagining that Xiong Kaishan wielded an exceedingly rare Divine Weapon—the Xiong Wang Sword was, in fact, a supreme artifact painstakingly tempered by Jun Mo Xie using the Golden Element of his unique Five Elements Divine Arts!
The Golden Element was a divine ability that transcended the mundane world; it was true immortal magic. The weapon Jun Mo Xie gifted his brother-in-law could naturally not be an inferior product!
In terms of sharpness or sturdiness, the Xiong Wang Sword was at least a full tier, perhaps even more, superior to the Earth Ninja Wild Sabers wielded by Qiang Shang Nuju!
Thus, even under the near-incessant, frenzied hacking of Qiang Shang Nuju’s twin Earth Ninja Wild Sabers, an ordinary weapon, or even a divine artifact of common grade, would likely have disintegrated into a shower of shattered iron fragments under such abuse! But for the Xiong Wang Sword, it held up completely, even with ease!
This was only because Xiong Kaishan's own cultivation level was at a disadvantage; had their power levels been equal, holding such a divine weapon and counterattacking when finding an opening, this grueling battle of attrition could have ended much sooner!
The second surprise was that over the ten thousand years, numerous Heaven-Seizing Battles had occurred, and encounters between alien experts and Bear Clan warriors had happened more than once. They had gained extensive knowledge of the skills and combat methods possessed by the Bear Clan, it could be said they knew them inside and out! Especially the Bear Clan's immensely powerful forbidden techniques, which the alien races paid meticulous attention to!
The Heavenly Punishment combat force had always been the most difficult aspect for the alien races to deal with during the Heaven-Seizing Battles. This was because the Heavenly Punishment Profound Beasts shared a common trait: incredibly tenacious vitality and a complete disregard for death! Even if they knew they could not win, they would try their utmost to drag the enemy down with them into the Yellow Springs, making them a group of desperate outlaws everyone feared!
