"Is that so?"
Liu Wen met Bai Zihe's gaze without a trace of fear.
On the contrary.
From the depths of his eyes, Bai Zihe saw a kind of… anticipation!
Yes, anticipation.
As if…
He had been waiting for Bai Zihe to make his move.
This made Bai Zihe slightly surprised. What was this old fellow still anticipating at this point?
Could it be that he still had some hidden trump card?
Bai Zihe chuckled.
Even if Liu Wen had a trump card, so what!
In the face of absolute power, all flashy tricks were ephemeral, easily shattered with a flick of the wrist!
"Whoosh!"
Bai Zihe flickered and crossed over ten feet, appearing before the numerous experts, just two or three feet away from them.
Such a distance…
Was extremely dangerous!
Therefore, the experts under Liu Wen's command all took a step back.
"You played a part in killing these people, didn't you?"
Bai Zihe pointed at the corpses and spoke coldly, his voice devoid of any human warmth, as if emanating from the netherworld.
"And if we did?"
An expert beside Liu Wen snorted, "They dared to oppose the Guardian Lord, they were seeking their own demise… ugh…"
Before he could finish speaking, a small hole appeared in his throat, and blood gushed out. He then fell to the ground, clearly having perished.
"How dare you!"
Seeing that Bai Zihe still dared to kill, and to kill his man in front of him, Liu Wen was instantly enraged!
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, a piece of something appeared in his hand.
Bai Zihe looked closely.
This thing…
It was golden yellow all over, neither stone nor jade, yet it possessed an extremely sharp aura, as if what he saw was…
A sharp sword yearning to pierce the heavens.
Bai Zihe's pupils contracted slightly.
This item gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, no less than the mysterious scroll that had previously been infused with golden light. It felt as if touching it would invite a severe backlash.
"Golden Sword Bone!"
Upon seeing this item, Zhuge Sheng, within the light cocoon, was utterly horrified.
"What is this thing?"
"Sword Bone?"
"Is it very powerful?"
The others in the light cocoon, hearing his grave tone, asked in unison.
"This thing is more than just powerful…"
Zhuge Sheng squinted, instinctively wanting to swallow, but found his throat incredibly dry, his words rough.
"This is the remnant of a sword dao expert who had reached the pinnacle of perfection and ascended."
"If worn on the body…"
"It would allow the wearer to constantly comprehend the sword dao, progressing at an astonishing rate. Even an unarmed prisoner could become a sword dao master with this."
"If directly swallowed…"
"Although it would cause immense pain for a short period, if one could endure it, their realm would undoubtedly advance greatly, and they would achieve a major breakthrough in the sword dao!"
"Currently…"
"Liu Wen knows he is no match for Brother Bai, so he likely intends to swallow the Golden Sword Bone to confront Brother Bai!"
The eyes of everyone present twitched fiercely.
Liu Wen was already so powerful that they were powerless to resist.
Now he was going to pull out an ultimate move…
How powerful would he become?
Unimaginable.
Indeed.
Under everyone's gaze.
Liu Wen picked up the piece of Golden Sword Bone and swallowed it.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment.
His entire being was enveloped in a golden radiance.
Its brilliance was dazzling, even surpassing the light cocoon from before, truly capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun!
"Whoosh!"
However, unlike the light cocoon.
The golden light emanating from Liu Wen was as sharp as sword energy, seeming to…
Even cut through space!
Zhuge Sheng and the others, only seeing it from within the light cocoon, could feel its boundless sharpness and supreme killing intent.
It instilled awe, making them dare not oppose it.
One could imagine.
What kind of terrifying edge Bai Zihe, facing him directly, would experience.
Bai Zihe was also slightly surprised.
Liu Wen's current state was akin to the glowing scroll at that time, clearly indicating the use of an extremely potent trump card.
"Ahhhh…"
At this moment, Liu Wen suddenly let out a long roar.
The roar pierced the heavens, mournful and tragic, sending chills down one's spine and raising goosebumps all over.
Simultaneously.
Liu Wen's entire body was enveloped in sword light.
Streams of sword energy…
Were actually erupting from his body.
Radiating outwards from him as the center, Bai Zihe, being the closest, bore the brunt of it.
"Clang!"
A strand of sword energy flew over.
Bai Zihe, without hesitation, extended his finger to meet it.
This single touch…
Caused Bai Zihe's entire body to tremble.
The power contained within it was beyond his imagination.
Clearly.
Liu Wen was currently being transformed by some extremely mysterious power. Even a mere fraction of the leaked energy possessed immense destructive force.
Even Bai Zihe could not afford to be careless!
"Whoosh!"
"Swish swish!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Such sword energies…
There were tens of thousands, even millions!
In an instant, they wreaked havoc, leaving this lava mountain range unrecognizable.
The land was scarred, riddled with holes.
And those corpses…
Were torn into countless pieces of flesh, then dried in the high heat, rising with the wind and scattering in all directions.
"Ahhhh…"
Those experts who were still alive…
Were closer to Liu Wen than Bai Zihe. In the blink of an eye, their bodies were pierced by countless sword energies, leaving shocking wounds.
And the experts, naturally, perished on the spot.
Fortunately.
The defense of the light cocoon was sufficiently strong.
Especially after absorbing Liu Wen's previous world-destroying sword strike, it was now as solid as rock.
Even as these sword energies struck it like raindrops, they only caused small ripples, unable to break through the defense.
Moreover, the energy contained within these sword energies was continuously being absorbed by the light cocoon.
However, with this…
When the formation dispersed, the intensity and might of the energy that Zhuge Sheng and the others would have to face was a catastrophe.
"Crack…"
"Clang…"
"Hum…"
Finally, the number of sword energies emanating from Liu Wen rapidly decreased.
From millions, it sharply reduced to tens of thousands, then to less than a hundred, and finally…
Only a handful remained.
However.
Each of these sword energies possessed a terrifying might, each one no less than the sword strike Liu Wen had unleashed earlier, ferocious and powerful.
"Whoosh!"
As the last strand of sword energy fell.
The golden light on Liu Wen's body shimmered and, like a long whale absorbing water, completely submerged into his form.
Bai Zihe also saw Liu Wen's current appearance.
Now, his clothes were in tatters.
Not just his clothes.
Every inch of exposed skin on Liu Wen was covered in countless sword marks, still oozing blood…
But these were not the重點.
The重點 was…
At this moment, Liu Wen himself was like a sharp sword piercing the heavens.
Once unsheathed…
It would surely shake the heavens and earth, and stir the mountains and rivers!
"Bai Zihe…"
Liu Wen's voice was hoarse, yet possessed boundless sharpness. His eyes blazed with sword light, as if countless sword energies were stored within them.
"You are the one who should be on their way out!"
