Supreme Sword Exalt

In the extreme distance, Gu Han’s face paled slightly as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Having killed six people all at once, the pressure he endured was immense.

With a hint of heartache, the demoness gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Han shook his head. “It’s nothing. There are fewer people in this direction—”

At that moment, a surging wave of vital qi descended. A tall and sturdy Transcendent realm barbarian blocked his path, looking cold and stern.

Gu Han said, “I have a question. How did you find me?!”

The barbarian fell silent for a moment before replying, “Intuition.”

Gu Han stared up at the sky, a stomach full of curses he couldn’t say.

The barbarian glanced at Gu Han. “Brat, you really have some skill! Dragging along dead weight and still lasting this long. No wonder our war gods died at your hands!”

Gu Han slowly raised his sword. “I’m not that great. It’s just that the war gods are too useless.”

The barbarian’s gaze turned cold. With a step, he arrived before Gu Han and punched down heavily. A mountain-like surge of vital qi crashed down. Gu Han barely blocked the strike by holding his sword across his chest, gathering all his spirit pressure before him. He staggered back dozens of zhang as blood poured from his mouth.

Many more barbarians gathered from all directions. Their battle caused such a huge disturbance that it drew them over.

Even though Gu Han was surrounded, he kept his eyes locked on the greatest threat: the Transcendent realm barbarian.

Said barbarian slowly closed in. “I’m very curious. How many barbarians have died at your hands?”

Gu Han shoved a handful of pills into his mouth, saying indistinctly, “Who knows? I’m too lazy to count.”

The barbarian let out a cold laugh. “Good! Your hands are stained with the blood of my kin. Today, I will take your life to honor them!”

Gu Han was full of mockery. “They tried to kill me, so I killed them! Nothing could be more reasonable. If I don’t terrify you, chill you to the bone, you’ll never behave!”

A hint of killing intent flashed in the barbarian’s eyes, and his vital qi erupted once more. “What kind of dogshit reasoning is that?! Even at death’s door, you’re still running your mouth?!”

Gu Han grew even more sarcastic. “Dogshit? Your own ancestor said that!”

The demoness seemed about to say something, but Gu Han shook his head, cutting her off. “Don’t speak. I cannot exchange your life for my life. Besides... forget it. Just don’t let go.”

Then, his sword qi pressed down, reducing him into a bloody mess. The demoness’ dress was stained red. It was his strongest technique, the very one he had used to kill Tuo Jun that day.

Compressed to its limit, the sword qi scattered in all directions, shredding several nearby barbarians into countless pieces.

The Transcendent realm barbarian’s eyes narrowed, his expression somewhat grave. “Don’t come close! Everyone falls back! Leave him to me!”

His vital qi erupted violently once more. As he stepped forward again, even space itself seemed on the verge of collapsing. He compressed his vital qi onto his right fist, fiercely slamming the fatal strike down on Gu Han.

At the same time, Gu Han made his move. “Die!”

Like an unsheathed, peerlessly sharp blade, he slashed straight toward the barbarian. This single strike would decide his fate.

The sword qi and vital qi collided. A terrifying momentum erupted from the two of them, sending the weaker barbarians flying. Both went all out, but Gu Han was clearly at a disadvantage. His sword still pushed forward through the crushing violent qi, though its progress was painfully slow. In contrast, the vital qi was only three chi before him.

The final outcome would most likely be his death and the barbarian severely injured. However, the barbarian seemed to think getting injured by Gu Han was unnecessary.

Sweeping his gaze over, he ordered, “Attack! Kill him!”

In an instant, two Half-Step Transcendent barbarians flew out from the crowd, their vital qi erupting. With a whistling sound, they charged at Gu Han from behind.

“Brat, so what if your talent is unmatched! You die today!” In his glee, the vital qi pressed down even more. “After you die, I, Tu Lu, will take your head—”

Just then, he froze as a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. His vital qi dissipated by more than half.

“Die!”

In a life-or-death battle, revealing such a huge opening was almost the same as seeking death. Gu Han, who was seasoned in combat, would not let such a precious opportunity slip.

His sword trembled slightly and broke through the vital qi, severing the barbarian’s arm and piercing his brow. The stir of sword qi reduced his head into a cloud of blood mist. Until his death, the barbarian had no idea how he had lost.

At that moment, the two barbarians’ full-powered strikes landed squarely on Gu Han like a mountain. Agony washed over Gu Han. His injuries worsened, and even his sword seemed on the verge of flying from his grip.

At the same time, he felt himself growing lighter. It was the demoness, who had let go at some unknown point, falling downward. Her intervention had caused the barbarian’s earlier distraction. Doing so in her current state came at a great cost. She could no longer even maintain Soaring realm flight.

The two barbarians were excited. “Quick! You kill the kid! I’ll grab the woman!”

Below, a host of barbarians swarmed forward. Endless greed and killing intent flashed in their eyes, making them look like demons from hell.

Looking at Gu Han, drenched in blood, the demoness sighed softly. How foolish of you... In my heart now, your life is the most important.

Then, she gently closed her eyes, about to activate a secret technique to dissolve her Heavenly Demon Physique.

At that moment, Gu Han reached his hand out, preventing her from falling into hell. He held his sword in one hand and grasped the demoness with the other. Though his cultivation had plummeted to its limit, another indescribable aura gradually rose.

It was an extremely pure Kill Sword intent.
