Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 398: Chapter 394: Extreme Heaven Monarch’s Concession

”Aaaargh!”

As the sword descended, the Extreme Heaven Monarch let out a terrified roar.

CRACK.

The Profound Gold Battle Armor he wore shattered completely, split in two. A sword mark appeared on his chest, and through the wound, one could see his flesh and bone.

Ning Jiang’s strike had nearly cleaved the Extreme Heaven Monarch in two.

”The Power of Laws! This is the Power of Laws!”

The Extreme Heaven Monarch retreated hastily, his horrified gaze fixed on the sword in Ning Jiang’s hand. ’How is this possible? It’s clearly a damaged, incomplete weapon. How can it still possess Spiritual Wisdom?’

At that moment, the countless people present were just as horrified as the Extreme Heaven Monarch.

After the Extreme Heaven Monarch had unleashed his Magical Power, his strength was almost comparable to the Celestial Martial Realm. Everyone had been certain that Ning Jiang would die.

But now, the Extreme Heaven Monarch had been severely wounded by a single strike from Ning Jiang. Who would have believed it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?

”Just how many trump cards does this Ning Jiang have? Why do I feel like he’s invincible?”

Someone murmured, staring at Ning Jiang in shock.

From the very beginning until now, people had repeatedly thought Ning Jiang was about to lose, but they had been dead wrong. Every time Ning Jiang seemed to be at a disadvantage with no hope of winning, he would reveal an even stronger trump card waiting for the Extreme Heaven Monarch.

After this happened several times in a row, some people even began to feel that Ning Jiang was unbeatable.

”The second sword!”

Ning Jiang’s gaze was indifferent as he stepped forward and slashed out with his sword once more.

The Sword Aura, like clear autumn water, descended. It was as thin as a cicada’s wing, silent and traceless.

”Kill!”

The Extreme Heaven Monarch roared, his entire body’s Magical Power boiling. The world thundered as he desperately pushed his Magical Power to its limits to counter Ning Jiang’s strike.

At this moment, his aura was terrifying to the extreme. Countless Martial Artists were overwhelmed by this pressure and fainted.

But when Ning Jiang’s sword fell, his Magical Power only held it back for an instant before being sliced apart.

SHIIING!

The Sword Aura, as thin as autumn water, sliced across the Extreme Heaven Monarch’s body.

The Extreme Heaven Monarch suddenly let out a wretched scream. A thin line appeared at the base of his left shoulder, and then his entire left arm detached from his body, severed by Ning Jiang’s sword!

Blood splattered, shocking the world.

”Damn it! To think I’d be defeated by a mere incomplete weapon! I refuse to accept this!”

The Extreme Heaven Monarch roared in fury.

He had fought with all his might, even using his Magical Power, yet he was wounded by a single sword. How could he accept this?

”Extreme Heaven Monarch, although you’ve managed to condense some Magical Power, it’s still far too inferior compared to the true Power of Laws,” Ning Jiang said coldly.

The Extreme Heaven Monarch was, after all, still in the Heaven-Reaching Realm. The quality of his Magical Power was far inferior to that of a true Celestial Martial Realm expert.

To put it another way, if the quality of Magical Power in the Celestial Martial Realm was gold, then his was merely stone. The difference was immense.

And the Demon Slaying Sword was, after all, a King’s Weapon. Once awakened, the Magical Power it contained was far stronger than the Extreme Heaven Monarch’s.

If a true Celestial Martial Realm expert were here, Ning Jiang would not be their match either.

”The third sword.”

Ning Jiang stepped forward once more.

He raised the Demon Slaying Sword, its might surging to the heavens. A storm of Sword Intent raged within a hundred-mile radius, becoming incomparably sharp.

”ROAR!”

The Extreme Heaven Monarch roared and counterattacked madly.

He stomped, shaking the heavens and earth. The Spiritual Qi for a hundred miles around boiled from his attack, a blow powerful enough to wipe the entire Extreme Heaven Sect off the face of the earth, leaving no trace behind.

But even an attack this powerful was not enough to contend with the Demon Slaying Sword.

The Demon Slaying Sword had absorbed a thousand years of Ning Jiang’s lifespan. The Power it now unleashed was comparable to that of a true Celestial Martial Realm expert. As long as the Extreme Heaven Monarch did not enter the Celestial Martial Realm, he could never be a match for it.

Celestial Martial. Once one entered this realm, they were separated from mortals as heaven is from earth. Those in this Realm were celestial beings, while the Extreme Heaven Monarch, in his Realm, was ultimately just a mortal.

”Aaaargh!”

A line of blood appeared on the Extreme Heaven Monarch’s forehead. It ran down his cheek, across his neck and chest, finally reaching his abdomen.

Through the gory wound, one could see the muscles, bones, and organs within. It had come just short of splitting the Extreme Heaven Monarch’s body in two down the middle.

”AWOOOO!”

The Extreme Heaven Monarch let out an unprecedented, wild howl.

The man hailed as the strongest below the Celestial Martial Realm had never been so grievously injured.

”Is the Sect Leader going to lose?”

The three True Monarchs watched with ashen faces, filled with disbelief.

Throughout the Extreme Heaven Sect, countless disciples were rendered speechless with fear.

”Suppressing the Extreme Heaven Sect with his sword... he actually managed to do it.”

Lü Xingfan’s lips trembled as he spoke, his eyes filled with awe.

Beside him, Lü Qinghe’s slender, athletic body trembled. A bitter look appeared on her beautiful face.

”Now I understand why you believe in him so much, why you called him a man of miracles,” Lan Nongyu said to Liu Xianyu, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she sighed.

Ning Jiang’s performance had overturned her expectations time and time again. Whenever she thought he was in danger, some new miracle would be waiting.

The battle continued.

SHIIING!

After activating the Demon Slaying Sword, Ning Jiang no longer held back.

Every sword strike he made was certain to injure the Extreme Heaven Monarch.

No matter how the Extreme Heaven Monarch tried to defend himself, he was simply no match for the Demon Slaying Sword.

”I am filled with such hate!”

The Extreme Heaven Monarch roared. All this time, he had been the one closest to the Celestial Martial Realm. He originally thought that while he might not be as good as a Celestial Martial Realm expert, he could at least put up a fight.

But now, he understood how naive he had been.

Perhaps there were people in this world who could contend with the Celestial Martial Realm while still in the Heaven-Reaching Realm, but he was definitely not one of them.

He couldn’t even handle a single sword. If he were facing a true Celestial Martial Realm expert, they could probably suppress him with a mere wave of their hand.

”Ning Jiang, that’s enough! Stop! Let this matter end here.”

Finally, the Extreme Heaven Monarch could no longer endure the situation of being beaten one-sidedly.

He was already heavily injured. If this continued, he was in danger of perishing.

”Extreme Heaven Monarch, I told you I wanted an explanation from your Extreme Heaven Sect. Otherwise, I will crush your entire heritage!”

Ning Jiang’s gaze was ice-cold, his killing intent soaring to the heavens.

The Demon Slaying Sword in his hand radiated a billowing, majestic might.

A chill ran through the hearts of countless Martial Artists. They could all hear the determination in Ning Jiang’s words. He wasn’t just threatening the Extreme Heaven Monarch; he would actually do it.

The corner of the Extreme Heaven Monarch’s eye twitched. He said coldly, ”Don’t push me too far. Do you really think I don’t have a way to kill you?”

”If you want to perish together, I do have some reservations. But you are more than welcome to try!” Ning Jiang’s stance was unyielding.

If the Extreme Heaven Monarch truly threw caution to the wind and fought to the death, Ning Jiang would indeed be in danger. But it was not in his character to make any concessions!

”Fine! Fine! You want an explanation? I’ll give you one!”

After a long silence, even someone as powerful as the Extreme Heaven Monarch was finally forced to back down.

Sometimes, one had to know when to cut their losses and not hesitate.

Below, all the color drained from Hua Hailan’s face.
