Chapter 1453: One Sword Buries Life and Death!

Not able to withstand a single strike!

Yang Xuan raised the Clear Profound Sword and kept charging, cutting through foes like slicing melons and chopping vegetables; no one could block him.

Hiss—!

Wherever he passed, cultivators of the Dao Void Realm couldn't even block a single strike.

Yang Xuan said lightly, 'Are they all this weak? Is it because I'm too strong, or the Clear Profound Sword is too strong, or the Ghost Clan's Abyss Lineage is too weak?'

Hearing this, the remaining Ghost Clan members were so angry their bodies seemed about to burst.

Utter humiliation!

Actually being looked down upon by a mere Six-Star Dao Void Realm cultivator.

Has their Abyss Lineage really sunk to such a state?

The leader of the Horned Ghost Clan's eyes nearly burst as he roared, 'Damn! You all step back—we'll kill this damned worm!'

Only four Dao Void Realm Ghost Clan members remained, and they all withdrew.

Yang Xuan stood firm in the vast abyss; his Life and Death Sword Intent was intensely cold, radiating fierce Divine Light, his whole body like a spirit sword soaring to the heavens.

His sword intent continually shredded the incoming weird power, preventing it from approaching at all!

Seeing the Horned Ghost Clan charging forward with fierce momentum, Yang Xuan instead sheathed the Clear Profound Sword.

He switched to an ordinary Dao Void Rank spirit sword!

The Clear Profound Sword's grade is too high; even sealed in several layers, the sword qi it unleashes remains terrifying.

He wanted to see his true combat power!

You know he hasn't even unleashed the One Sword Buries Life and Death yet.

But the Horned Ghost Clan was indeed furious beyond restraint, spewing black mist from mouth and nose, 'Damn, what do you mean? Looking down on me?'

Yang Xuan replied with a serious face, 'Yes.'

Die!

The Horned Ghost Clan's abyssal anomaly beneath his feet became even more terrifying, like a primeval ferocious beast opening its blood‑filled maw; his hands kept forming seals, one after another weird pattern surged toward Yang Xuan to devour him.

There were grotesque human faces constantly oozing pus; illusions covered in long hair; and huge shadows like strange species lunging forward……

This wasn't a simple illusion; it was shrouded with terrifying killing intent.

Yang Xuan directly swung his sword.

Hiss—!

Life and Death Sword Intent howled upward, all wrapped around the spirit sword; a white lightning flashed within the abyssal anomaly, illuminating heaven and earth.

This sword qi instantly descended upon those illusions, slaying a few before vanishing.

'Pfft!' A trickle of blood spilled from Yang Xuan's mouth corner, and his body was blasted tens of thousands of zhang away.

But he quickly rose to his feet.

Exhilarating!

It's been a long time since I felt this pressure.

The Horned Ghost Clan blinked in surprise, 'He didn't even die?'

In the next instant, Yang Xuan charged again, 'One Sword Buries Life and Death!'

Suddenly his sword momentum surged, the Life and Death intent rolled forth, immensely vast, endless sword resonance pouring out from within.

With this sword swing, all surrounding weird power was obliterated, and the abyssal space was instantly illuminated.

A river of sword qi shot straight toward the Horned Ghost Man.

The Horned Ghost Man shuddered, 'Huh? This sword qi… can a Six‑Star Dao Void Realm cultivator produce such a thing?'

Several Dao Void Realm Ghost Clan members were stunned on the spot.

This sword qi is too terrifying!

This person's sword‑path talent is so terrifying—how have I never heard of him?

You know the monsters of the Soaring Heaven Sword Sect are all famous!

The Horned Ghost Man's ugly visage grew even more hideous; he slapped his palm, summoning more weird illusions, and snarled, 'Such a monster—you deserve to die even more!'

Countless illusions rushed forward.

This is the terror of the Abyss Lineage: as long as one is within the abyssal anomaly, they are suppressed, almost like forming their own small space, and they can conjure myriad illusions to fight in their stead.

Hiss—!

Yang Xuan's sword qi quickly collided with those illusions.

Pfft‑pfft‑pfft!

One after another, the illusions were cut down by the sword qi.

But in the end the sword qi also dissipated.

The Horned Ghost Clan stared dumbfounded, having to admit this green‑clothed sword cultivator was immensely strong.

Yang Xuan said lightly, 'Haven't you eaten? Don't you know to put in some effort?'

This completely enraged the Horned Ghost Man, who roared, 'You damned bastard, you're going too far!'

He slapped his palm, and weird power surged forth endlessly from within; the Horned Ghost Man rushed in for close‑quarters combat.

One Sword Buries Life and Death!

Yang Xuan swung his sword again.

Hiss—!

Sword qi surged in the arena, and the weird power kept welling forth.

Their figures, one black and one white, continually collided and intertwined; sword intent and the Abyss Grand Dao constantly clashed and wore each other down.

Yang Xuan was repeatedly knocked back, but he quickly charged forward again.

"Satisfying! Satisfying!"

The two fought for the length of an incense stick.

Only then did the horned man see that the blue‑clothed sword cultivator was treating him as a sword‑testing stone; plainly visible, the sword cultivator's sword qi became stronger.

"You truly deserve to die!" he said through gritted teeth.

Yang Xuan's lips curled slightly; in this battle he also came to know his limits, and fighting on would be pointless.

With a thought, the Clear Profound Sword appeared in his hand, and he broke into a brilliant smile: "Well… then it's time to end this!"

Upon seeing this spirit sword, the horned man's heart gave a sudden jolt.

This sword's grade is too high!

Yang Xuan suddenly slashed down with a blade of sword qi.

One sword buries life and death!

"Swish!"

All the dark, silent phantoms summoned by the Horned Ghost Tribe were obliterated beneath this sword; the sword qi was like a white rainbow, tearing apart the entire abyss phenomenon, excessively blazing, and the aberrant forces here were all cut down.

This sword qi slew the horned man and several other Dao Void Realm cultivators altogether.

Annihilation!

Yang Xuan collected the several people's storage rings, then continued to traverse the void toward the distance; the direction he headed was exactly where Wang Kun and the others were refining gu.

Half a day later.

Yang Xuan descended upon an abyss that had previously witnessed a great battle; this abyss was precisely the place torn apart by that battle.

Within the abyss, sword qi surged like a deep pool and vast sea!

Yang Xuan directly rode his sword into it; the Clear Profound Sword cleared the way, one strike shattering the lingering aberrant force, he sat cross‑legged and began to absorb the sword's resonance.

While drawing in the sword's resonance, he simultaneously reviewed the battle just fought.

His Life and Death Sword Intent suddenly surged up, rippling around him like waves.

"Hummm!"

The Clear Profound Sword began to tremble.

The sword resonance on Yang Xuan grew stronger, and he suddenly had an epiphany.

"Swish!"

A terrifying sword qi shot straight up, transforming into a terrifying pillar of light that propped up the heavens, piercing deep into the firmament and parting a thread of the dense aberrant force in the depths of the void.

Life and Death Sword Intent!

Directly, a heaven‑and‑earth phenomenon appeared!

In the distance, Wang Kun and the others had originally been refining the sword intent gu.

Here, the affair was drawing to a close; the remnant souls of the Ancient Sword Dynasty had all been refined, and the sword intent merged into the sword intent gu.

Wang Kun said calmly, "I've refined a half‑step ten‑turn sword intent gu—not bad. This is the last use value of those old things."

Suddenly they saw the sword‑qi‑rushing‑to‑the‑heavens phenomenon in the distance.

Wang Kun furrowed his brow slightly, "Huh? A great sword‑dao opportunity has appeared there? Speed up the gu fusion! Let's go there to find that great opportunity!"
