Chapter 392: Both Sides Suffer

"It seems the Ghost Valley Vertical and Horizontal are no match for Xing Hun."

"That is not necessarily true."

Su Fan did not agree with Wang Zhan's opinion; although Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang had been pushed back by Xing Hun's strike, they were not injured.

Sure enough, just as Su Fan finished speaking, the two charged up again, using the Yin Yang formation to surround Xing Hun, their two Sword Intents continuously battering their opponent.

The battle between the three became increasingly intense; the mere overflowing power was enough to injure an ordinary Martial Artist of the Tongxuan Realm.

The surroundings were also ruined by the power unleashed by the three; the original stone piers were shattered, and some boats near the dock were riddled with holes by the sword Qi.

"Ghost Valley Vertical and Horizontal!"

"Good, good, good!"

Having failed to take the two down even after fighting until now, Xing Hun grew increasingly furious, especially as the two joined forces, their auras also faintly rising.

Especially Wei Zhuang, who seemed to be using Gai Nie's Sword Intent to make his own Sword Dao grow rapidly, his strength naturally increasing bit by bit.

He was being used as a practice dummy.

How could this not make Xing Hun angry?

The killing intent erupting from his eyes was already as tangible as reality.

The secret technique of Gathering Qi into Blades was pushed to its full extent by him, the purple flames appearing so bright and dazzling in the dark night.

Sensing Xing Hun unleashing his final power, the expressions of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang changed; they could feel the danger within that giant purple flame blade.

The two looked at each other and nodded, then quickly mobilized the power within their bodies.

"Hundred-Step Flying Sword!"

"Vertical Sword Eight Directions!"

After the two shouted sharply, the sword Qi within their bodies erupted as if it were tangible, and their Sword Intents surged out along with it.

The two sword lights and two Sword Intents actually began to faintly merge in mid-air.

In an instant, they truly became one.

"This is?"

Su Fan, watching from afar, widened his eyes; seeing this scene, he was also somewhat surprised.

This was a Combined Attack Technique.

"Indeed, the Ghost Valley Vertical and Horizontal Sword Technique is extraordinary."

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, having finally unleashed this Combined Attack Technique, saw the sword light cover half the sky; that dazzling sword light and terrifying Sword Intent were unforgettable.

The power of this sword had already exceeded the power of an ordinary Five Qi Morning Origin Realm.

Boom!

Like a thunderclap from the nine heavens, the two forces collided in mid-air, instantly producing an aurora; the blinding aurora made Sanghai Cheng look as if it were broad daylight.

The aurora unleashed its terrifying power without restraint, the vented energy sweeping outward like a mountain-toppling sea.

It even stirred up giant waves in the sea, and several large ships on the dock were instantly reduced to splintered wood under this force.

Everyone's mind was captivated by this aurora.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A few breaths later, three sounds of falling followed one after another.

Immediately, everyone's gaze followed the direction of the sounds.

It could be seen that the state of all three was poor; Wei Zhuang was the most miserable, as his cultivation and realm were the lowest, his clothes were in tatters, he was spitting large mouthfuls of blood, his face was pale, and his spirit seemed somewhat withered.

It was also because he had forcibly increased the power of his sword technique; this backlash indeed made him suffer, and Gai Nie was not doing well either, though his complexion looked relatively normal.

As for Xing Hun, on the surface, he appeared to have no major issues, but a closer look revealed his hands were trembling; he stood up shakily, and the depths of his eyes were somewhat dim.

The power of spiritual exhaustion.

Su Fan could also sense the state of the three.

"Both sides suffered!"

Although Xing Hun's cultivation was high, his control over his body was inevitably not complete; after all, that body was not his own, and the power had originally been sealed.

Having been suddenly broken, failing to fully control this power while unleashing such great strength was definitely harmful and not beneficial to his true self.

And the Vertical and Horizontal Combined Attack Technique, with its wanton Sword Intent, was indeed terrifying, capable of harming one's Divine Soul.

His Divine Soul had been significantly damaged by the Sword Intent of that Combined Attack Technique, and he had even come close to having his Divine Soul extinguished.

At the critical moment, the opponent's Sword Intent had suddenly cut off.

He knew it was very likely that Wei Zhuang's Sword Dao cultivation was insufficient, and at the critical moment, he could not sustain it, which was why he had survived.

Looking at the two, the killing intent in Xing Hun's heart grew even stronger; he wanted to act, but his current state was poor, and the opponent's final strike had power comparable to the high stage of the Five Qi Morning Origin Realm, not much different from his own peak period.

Coupled with the fact that this body was truly too short, this sword had injured his internal organs; the secret technique of Gathering Qi into Blades itself caused much damage to the internal organs.

Therefore, he did not have much combat power left now.

The state of the two opposite him looked bad, appearing tottering, but who knew how strong their counterattack would be if they fought to the death?

He did not want to perish together with them; Sword Cultivators were all lunatics.

The people of Ghost Valley were even more of a bunch of lunatics; after all, to demonstrate the strategies of Ghost Valley, they would incite great wars across the world.

One could imagine what kind of obsessions these people would have after practicing the Sword Dao.

He did not want to die again; if he died again, he would not be able to 'reincarnate' anymore.

"The Ghost Valley sword technique is indeed powerful; I have witnessed it tonight."

After saying this, Xing Hun left directly, and following his departure, the Yin-Yang School's Da Si Ming and Shao Siming also left.

The two of them had come with Xing Hun, and seeing his state, they were also shocked; they knew the strength of this Protector, yet even after unsealing his power, he had still been severely wounded.

These two swordsmen of Ghost Valley Vertical and Horizontal truly could not be underestimated.

The two of them, joining forces, could actually threaten the Five Qi Morning Origin Realm.

"It is a pity that Lord Yue Shen did not come."

Da Si Ming felt a secret pity in her heart.

She also knew that Lord Yue Shen was currently suppressing the Fusang Spirit; the Fusang Divine Tree was a divine tree of Shushan that had existed for over ten thousand years, so it had naturally birthed intelligence and manifested as a three-legged golden crow spirit body.

After Shushan was breached by the Yin-Yang School in alliance with the Great Qin, this Fusang Divine Tree was also brought out by the Yin-Yang School in preparation for transplantation.

The Yin-Yang School had long since found a location, which was the Land of Sunrise; this time, the Mirage was also here to transport the Fusang Divine Tree to that Land of Sunrise.

It was just that although the spirit of the Fusang Divine Tree had been heavily damaged by the Leader, it remained extremely powerful and required Lord Yue Shen to suppress it from time to time; otherwise, if the opponent's spirit body rioted, the Mirage would not be able to withstand it.

Otherwise, the one who arrived this time would not have been Lord Xing Hun, but Lord Yue Shen.

Regarding the strength of Lord Yue Shen, Da Si Ming was even clearer that it was above that of Lord Xing Hun; the two from Ghost Valley might be able to heavily injure Xing Hun if they joined forces, but against Lord Yue Shen, that would not work.

Furthermore, she believed that just now, it was also because Lord Xing Hun had been careless and underestimated the two, which was why he suffered such heavy injuries in the end.

If he had unleashed his strongest power from the very beginning and not given the two any chance, the current situation would not have happened.

Of course, this thought was only something she pondered in her heart.

After taking a deep look at Gai Nie, Da Si Ming left quickly.
