Chapter 729 - 730: Slaying the Dog Sect Leader
The reason the Sect Leader of Sakura Sect could ascend to the position wasn't luck, but genuine strength!
Leading the Sakura Sect to become one of the top three powers in the Star Sea wasn't merely due to luck and his Peak Imperial Realm strength; he also had a major trump card!
Now, facing Liu Zixuan, a master of the same realm who also possesses the trump card that previously defeated the experts of the Kongshan Group, he naturally feared nothing!
With a sharp gaze, a terrifying aura erupted from his entire body, his fist turning into a punch, sending a strong gust directly towards Liu Zixuan's face.
Liu Zixuan's eyes instantly became piercing. Facing this strike, he didn't dodge but used an eerie body technique, rushing directly to meet it.
His right hand shot out abruptly, a fist and a palm clashing directly together!
Bang!
Both their bodies trembled, the intense Qi traveled along their arms directly into their meridians, making their entire arm tingle.
Thump thump thump!
The Sect Leader staggered back three steps before stabilizing his stance, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes as he grabbed his weapon from the table!
A samurai scimitar emanating cold intent!
This curved saber, long dubbed the Devil Blade within the Sakura Sect, was forged a long time ago by the most renowned blade forger in the Witch Country under the Sect Leader's command, using the blood of a thousand, the bones of a hundred, over ten months.
When the sword first emerged, it was suffused with an acrid bloody smell, and over the years, with the blood of countless souls beneath it, this blade has long been nurtured into a demonic presence.
Coupled with the Sect Leader's aura of total darkness, it grew more sanguinary and terrifying, filled with a palpable malice!
Seeing this, Liu Zixuan flicked his right hand, and the hilt of the Nameless Sword appeared in his grasp. With a slight tremor, the sword's edge resonated sharply, slicing through the air!
Though the Nameless Sword bears no name, it truly carries a noble righteous aura. Its azure gleam appeared alongside the Qi of Liu Zixuan's Nine Dragon Technique, resonating starkly against the Devil Blade.
As with their bearers, one evil, one righteous!
As with their weapons, one saber, one sword!
"Speaking of, it's been years since my blade last tasted the blood of those from the Star Sea!" the Sect Leader sneered sinisterly.
Liu Zixuan stepped forward with the Nameless Sword in hand: "How fitting, you'll be the first Witch Country scum under my Nameless Sword!"
"Trying to kill? You're daydreaming!"
The Sect Leader shouted harshly, raising his Devil Blade to hack directly at Liu Zixuan.
Liu Zixuan lifted his hand, a flash of sword light clashed with the blade. Strangely, aside from the expected sparks, a crimson gas actually emanated from the blade!
Frowning, Liu Zixuan quickly retreated several steps!
"So insidious!" Liu Zixuan cursed.
"Hahaha!"
The Sect Leader laughed triumphantly: "This blade isn't just nourished by the blood of my enemies. I also feed it my blood daily. It's long fused with me, body and blade as one. You sensed the poison in me, but didn't realize this blade also emits poisonous gas!"
"Only you Witch Country bastards would play with such revolting things." Liu Zixuan truly didn't expect the Sect Leader to temper the evil blade in such a perverted way!
However, what the Sect Leader couldn't know was that Liu Zixuan possessed a body immune to poison, rendering the blade's venom utterly ineffective!
"You've been exposed to my life's poison, so go die!"
The Sect Leader's aura grew more imposing, immediately performing a draw-slash. First, a cross-shaped burst of blade Qi followed by a striking slash, two terrifying attacks converged upon Liu Zixuan.
"Break for me!"
The Nameless Sword suddenly surged forth, shattering the cross-shaped Qi, colliding resoundingly with the blade.
Liu Zixuan kicked hard into the Sect Leader's stomach, and while he staggered back, Liu Zixuan took the momentum to thrust with the Nameless Sword.
Thud!
The Sect Leader couldn't evade in time, the Nameless Sword pierced through his left shoulder, spilling a mouthful of blood on the ground.
Instantly, the Sect Leader's vitality faded, forcefully enduring the pain of his wound as he staggered backward.
He braced himself against the ground with the Devil Blade to barely stay upright.
"Why, why can you unleash such a powerful attack after being hit by my life poison!"
The Sect Leader was utterly incredulous!
Liu Zixuan chuckled coldly: "If you think that was a powerful attack, then you've misunderstood!"
With that, Liu Zixuan spun his body, rising into the air with a tiptoe, both hands gripping the sword hilt, slashing directly towards the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader had no place left to retreat, he could only place the Devil Blade horizontally in front of him to guard!
He had immense confidence in his blade; forged by a true grandmaster-level blade forger and tempered for so long, it should effortlessly withstand this strike!
But he was utterly taken aback.
His most prized Devil Blade shattered so easily under the Nameless Sword!
Crack!
The Nameless Sword descended, clashing on the Devil Blade, a crisp, bright sound rang out, and the Sect Leader sank down, feeling pain and numbness in his arm, akin to shattering in that instant!
In that moment of shock!
The Devil Blade began to show cracks, which slowly lengthened across the blade, until the entire blade was covered, then countless pieces shattered apart!
The Devil Blade was thus destroyed by Liu Zixuan!
"My blade!" The Sect Leader's eyes filled with blood as he bellowed in a strained voice.
"Then perish with your blade!"
Liu Zixuan shouted coldly, the Nameless Sword did not halt, slicing past the Sect Leader's arm towards his brow!
"I've been defeated by you!" The Sect Leader looked up at Liu Zixuan, his eyes dim without the brilliance of before, as his pupils began to disperse, his face turning pallid.
"Did you think you were strong?" Liu Zixuan sneered: "We might share the same realm, your blade might be strange, but what you didn't know is that in the same realm, I've never met a match. Even if it's a Half-Step Emperor Realm, I'm undefeated! As for the poison on your blade, it might work on others, but not on me!"
"Before you die, let me tell you one more thing, so you can understand in death. In fact, this afternoon, the disciples of Sakura Sect and Kongshan Group, we killed them all!"
"No! Impossible!"
The Sect Leader fell into madness, unable to believe that his Sakura Sect, along with the formidable Kongshan Group, had been toyed with by Liu Zixuan! And all due to this one young man before him, a hundred years of Sakura Sect's legacy was destroyed!
Thud!
A spray of blood erupted, and the Sect Leader collapsed lifelessly to the ground!
