Forget the mortal world? Hahaha!” Taowu let out a shrill laugh,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How absurd! How can any living being exist without desire, without love or hatred? Your sword path is itself a defiance of the Dao! Today, I shall use the purest evil to tear apart your hypocritical sword path!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his words ended, Taowu launched his attack! He made no flashy moves, yet his massive body moved with astonishing speed, incongruous with his size—a black lightning bolt hurtling straight at Su Zhanxian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His human face contorted into a grotesque grin, claws tearing through the air, enveloped in potent destructive cosmic force, descending straight down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Destructive Claw Strike!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This claw strike appeared simple, yet it sealed off every possible escape route for Su Zhanxian; the will of destruction within the claw wind alone could shatter the spirit of ordinary kings and dukes, causing them to falter before even fighting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Su Zhanxian remained still, standing in place until the claws were mere inches from his body—only then did he move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zheng—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear, dragon-like sword cry rang out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wangchen sword flashed from its sheath; its blade did not gleam with cold light, but instead appeared dull gray, as if coated in the dust of ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No earth-shattering sword qi, no dazzling, ornate sword light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhanxian merely flicked his wrist slightly, and Wangchen sword traced an impossibly subtle, seemingly slow path upward, striking with perfect precision at the very tip of Taowu’s claw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cut thought.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He uttered two cold words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chis!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword tip met the claw tip—not with an expected violent explosion, but with a faint sound, like something being pierced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taowu’s furious Destructive Claw Strike, packed with terrifying power and destructive will, collapsed under Wangchen’s seemingly weightless point—half its force instantly dissipated, as if a balloon had been punctured!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining force was deflected aside, grazing Su Zhanxian’s body and carving five deep furrows into the ground behind him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taowu’s forward momentum halted abruptly; his human face showed a flicker of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his attack had struck nothingness—the destructive intent he had concentrated dissolved upon contact with the sword tip, leaving a hollow, unsupported sensation, as if it might vanish entirely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some trick!” Taowu’s eyes grew even more vicious, “Itachi can cut through attack intent? Let’s see how many Itachi can cut!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared, moving again—no longer seeking a single killing blow, but launching a storm of relentless assaults around Su Zhanxian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claws, bites, tail sweeps, charges… every primal, savage, yet brutally effective technique surged forward like an endless tide, one wave after another crashing upon Su Zhanxian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each strike unleashed terrifying physical power and pure destructive cosmic force, pushing strength and speed to the absolute limit of the King-Duke realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire arena was swallowed by Taowu’s furious form and attacks; black destructive energy raged everywhere, thunderous roars never ceasing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this onslaught capable of shredding any peer, Su Zhanxian’s figure was like a tiny boat in a raging storm—seemingly ready to capsize at any moment, yet always slipping away by a hair’s breadth from fatal blows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His footwork was not fast, yet it embodied the ultimate principles of heaven and earth; each step landed precisely in the gaps between Taowu’s tidal waves of attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Wangchen sword in his hand became a blur of gray shadows—every swing, every thrust, precisely “cutting” at the critical nodes of Taowu’s attack flow, or at the core of its destructive intent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cut greed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cut wrath.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cut delusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cut pride…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cut doubt…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhanxian occasionally uttered brief phrases, synchronized with his sword movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword did not strike Taowu’s flesh—it cut the roots of negative emotions and intentions embedded within each attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Taowu fought, the more frustrated and stifled he became! His power far surpassed his opponent’s; his attacks were ferocious beyond measure—yet he always felt as if his strength had nowhere to land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every strike, every concentrated desire for destruction and ferocity, weakened and scattered upon contact with that strange gray sword qi—as if doused with icy water on a burning flame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn Itachi! What kind of sword art is this?! Have the guts to clash with me head-on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taowu roared in fury—his most prized destructive power was being neutralized by this bizarre method!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhanxian parried a heavy claw, used the force to drift back several zhang, and stood firm with sword in hand, his gaze still as still as a deep well: “There are countless paths in sword art. Yours is the extreme of ‘having.’ Mine is the extreme of ‘nothing.’ Why clash?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullshit ‘nothing’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taowu exploded in rage, his entire body blazing with pitch-black destructive energy like fire; his aura surged again—though his realm was suppressed, the essence of destruction grew even more pronounced: “I refuse to believe Itachi can cut away every thought in this world! Face this—Origin of Ten Thousand Evils!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew a deep breath; his twisted human face grew even more grotesque, and from his gaping maw, all the malice, resentment, greed, rage… of the world seemed to converge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless negative emotions and destructive cosmic forces intertwined, coalescing into a swirling, expanding, pitch-black energy sphere radiating revulsion and despair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment this sphere appeared, light on the arena was swallowed; even the lingering calamity qi above seemed drawn to it, becoming more active and violent. A terror rooted deep in the soul swept through every living being watching!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the manifestation of Taowu’s semi-sage origin—the embodiment of “Evil” itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attack reached the threshold of the Sage realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Zhanxian! See how Itachi cut through the evil of all beings!” Taowu laughed wildly, hurling the sphere of ultimate destruction—“Origin of Ten Thousand Evils”—straight at Su Zhanxian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where it passed, space groaned; the arena’s ground vanished without sound, leaving behind a trail of nothingness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this terrifying attack, Su Zhanxian’s ever-calm gaze finally showed the faintest ripple—not fear, but quiet confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly raised Wangchen sword before him, his left hand’s index and middle fingers gently brushing across its dull gray blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his fingers passed, the “dust” on the blade seemed partially wiped away, revealing a faint, inwardly concentrated glow—so subtle it seemed to pierce through the essence of all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “emptiness” aura around him also shifted—not pure “nothing” anymore, but now infused with a resolute, unstoppable “cutting” intent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The mortal world is vast, bound by karmic chains. All beings suffer; evil thoughts abound.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","98cf534300d41c788591169fcd3b514bd7760eaa7f604c5611d61be721dda40a","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-149","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-147",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
