Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 920: Chapter 488: Eighth Life: One Move to Decide Victory, One Sword for Life and Death! (Part 2)

At this moment.

A sudden cheer burst forth from the crowd.

Zhao Xu appeared in everyone’s line of sight, wearing battle armor and holding a blood-colored long saber, surrounded by numerous Law Enforcement Hall disciples.

His eyes were scarlet, with a hint of suppressed bloodlust and madness deep within, appearing like a beast ready to devour anyone!

"Zhao Xu’s status seems off, be careful."

Luo Xin raised her eyebrows and reminded in a low voice.

"Don’t worry, Senior Sister, he’s not my match."

Lu Yuan said calmly, but his tone carried a strong confidence.

This wasn’t arrogance but a confidence born from formidable power!

"Since you are so confident, I’ll await your good news."

Luo Xin seemed infected by Lu Yuan’s confidence, somehow believing firmly in his ability to become the Inner Sect Leader.

On the other side.

Before the Inner Sect Elder announced the duel, Zhao Xu stepped onto the platform first and swung his long saber, pointing its edge directly at Lu Yuan.

"You useless rat, come up here and die quickly!"

His blood-red eyes brimmed with killing intent, his aura terrifyingly strong.

Among the disciples present, many were Martial Artists in the Spiritual Sea Realm, including Sect’s True Inheritors.

Even a blind person could see that Zhao Xu’s status was off.

"What’s going on?"

"In just one day, how did Brother Zhao Xu become like a different person?"

"As far as I know, the Blood Soul Saber Technique has an extremely powerful move that can absorb an enemy’s essence and spirit for one’s own use, temporarily increasing one’s power."

"But though this move is potent, it’s extremely dangerous, easy to suffer backlash. Did Brother Zhao Xu use this risky move to win the Inner Sect Leader position?"

A True Disciple had a solemn expression, vaguely guessing the cause.

"I heard that Hall Master Yan Xing cultivates the Killing Dao, able to strengthen one’s cultivation by slaying strong enemies. Seeing it now, it’s indeed extraordinary."

"If I’m not mistaken, Zhao Xu’s Blood Soul Saber is also a top-grade spiritual artifact."

"Combining it with the Killing Dao is like adding wings to a tiger, enough to make his power comparable to a Late Soul Palace Realm expert in a short time. Looks like little friend Lu Yuan is in serious trouble this time."

On the high platform before the Sect Hall, many Nirvana Realm experts saw the anomaly with keen eyes.

The Killing Dao is both righteous and evil, even more extreme than many Demonic Dao techniques.

In the past, a powerful cultivator practicing the Killing Dao accumulated so much karmic force due to excessive killing that when breaking through, he was invaded by a heart demon.

Reason shattered, becoming a demon only knowing slaughter.

Looking at the current situation.

Zhao Xu clearly aimed to strengthen himself by recklessly slaying multiple demon beasts before a great battle, causing his spirit to become unstable with a trend of losing control.

Seeing this, even the Zhao Family Ancestor’s eyes showed a trace of worry.

The Supreme Origin Sacred Realm focuses on the Idealist Martial Dao; once mental clarity collapses, the future is abandoned, this isn’t something to joke about.

If Zhao Xu could win this duel, he may consolidate his beliefs and increase his power tremendously.

But if he loses, he would suffer backlash from the cultivation technique or, at worst, his spirit would be injured, turning into a cripple!

"Supreme Elder, don’t worry, although Lu Yuan’s swordsmanship is extraordinary, his cultivation is too weak. Zhao Xu refined two Late Soul Palace Realm demon beasts’ essence last night and is sure to win this duel."

Yan Xing quietly transmitted, assuring strongly.

"Let’s hope so."

The Zhao Family Ancestor’s mind fell under a shadow, feeling an inexplicable unease.

Before the Sect Hall, facing Zhao Xu’s provocation, Lu Yuan was undeterred and stepped onto the platform.

"Since you wish for death, I’ll grant it!"

"Die!"

Almost the moment Lu Yuan stepped onto the platform.

Zhao Xu, like a beast out of control, charged across hundreds of feet toward him.

At the same time.

The blood-colored long saber in his hand slashed at Lu Yuan like lightning.

The saber light was razor-sharp, leaving no escape!

Especially when Zhao Xu struck this saber.

Behind him, the shadows of two demon beasts emerged, causing the saber’s power to surge, seemingly able to slice through the void!

"Be careful, Junior Brother!"

Luo Xin was greatly startled and couldn’t help but shout in warning.

The other disciples’ faces also changed drastically, their hearts in their throats, not daring to make a sound.

On one hand, Zhao Xu’s saber was terrifyingly fierce; if the Inner Sect disciples faced it, they likely couldn’t withstand even one move.

On the other hand, Zhao Xu broke the rules.

He suddenly attacked before the duel was announced, catching everyone off guard, leaving no time to react.

But facing a strike capable of killing a Soul Palace Realm expert, Lu Yuan remained calm, not only did he not evade but he slowly closed his eyes.

As his eyes closed.

The once noisy world instantly became incredibly silent.

Everything fell into stillness, even time stopped flowing!

Though Zhao Xu’s thunderous attack, to the naked eye, was impossible to track, in Lu Yuan’s perception, it seemed slow and clumsy.

See with the heart, cut with the heart.

This is the essence of the Self-Cutting Sword Dao.

When one’s focus reaches the extreme, it’s possible to cut the flow of time with a single blade!

Though Lu Yuan’s eyes were closed, when concentrating, he found Zhao Xu’s move filled with flaws, full of openings.

"Swoosh!"

The next moment.

He cut down, fingers like a sword.

A brilliant sword light, unimaginable, flashed like a stream of light, striking Zhao Xu’s blood-colored saber with lightning speed.

"Boom!"

The saber shattered into powder.

The demon beast shadows behind Zhao Xu shattered like bubbles under the sword light, dissipating into vapor in the air.

As for Zhao Xu himself, he seemed heavily injured, trembling violently, vomited blood, and flew back heavily, crashing against the array’s light screen, barely staying on the platform.

His meridians were shattered, flesh mangled, losing all combat ability.

Even if he survives barely, he’d be a cripple, never able to threaten Lu Yuan again.

"Zhao Xu lost?"

Seeing this, the entire venue fell into deathly silence!

Everyone widened their eyes like copper bells, looking at Lu Yuan in disbelief, their hearts surging with shock.

"Pfft!"

Han Qingxuan held a teacup, sipping hot tea, and before swallowing, he sprayed out all the tea.

He knew Lu Yuan’s skill in the Sword Dao was strong; he’s a natural sword talent with unlimited potential and possibilities.

But he never dreamed Lu Yuan’s swordsmanship would be terrifying to such an astounding degree.

A single move determined victory, a single sword decided life and death!

With just one sword, Zhao Xu was instantly slain!

"No matter what means you deploy, I’ll break ten thousand techniques with one sword, this is the true essence of the Sword Dao!"

"Compared to little friend, my decades of bitter cultivation in the Sword Dao is negligible."

Su Zhengyang was stunned, regarded Lu Yuan as a celestial being; his heart was excessively shocked.

And Su Rhyme also stared intensely at Lu Yuan, biting her lip, almost doubting her life.

Since birth, she was hailed as a once-in-a-century sword genius in the Su Family.

When other so-called Noble Family geniuses and Sect heirs were defeated by her.

She sincerely believed she was destined to prove her Dao with the sword, stunning the world.

But until she met Lu Yuan, she understood.

What is true Sword Dao, what is true sword prodigy!

"This can’t be!"

"Zhao Xu successfully refined two demon beasts’ essence, capable of fighting Late Soul Palace Realm experts, how could he lose to a disciple only in the Mid Spirit Sea Stage?"

Yan Xing was disheartened, shouting in frustration, unable to accept this truth.

As for the Zhao Family Ancestor, who usually kept his eyes half-closed in disinterest, his old eyes now were wide open, filled with shock and disbelief!
