Chapter 89 - 93: Releasing Ruthless Might Once Again
Heaven and earth fell silent.
Even the fiercest battle—Queen Medusa clashing against Han Feng and Yuan Yi—was momentarily interrupted as the three combatants turned to look.
That single sword strike, one that had slain a Dou Huang outright, left everyone present dumbfounded. Only after a long pause did all eyes shift to the youth hovering in the sky, holding a pitch-black sword.
Bathed in moonlight, the figure stood upon a deep-blue longsword. Though his face was slightly pale, his star-like eyes glinted with a sharpness so cold and fierce, few dared to meet his gaze directly.
Even from a distance, the atmosphere grew tense. Many swallowed hard and exchanged glances, unease brewing in their hearts.
A Dou Ling had just slain a Dou Huang. Was this even human?
([Author's Note: Some readers think this power scaling is exaggerated. Let me explain—divine-grade bloodline + divine-grade cultivation method + Heaven-tier Dou Technique + low-tier Saint-rank weapon. Killing a one-star Dou Huang—does that really sound too far-fetched? Even in the original, when the Fallen Heart Flame broke its seal, Xiao Yan was only a Dou Ling and still gave Fan Lao a hard time.])
Chen Mo's expression was pale.
That Heaven-Cleaving Sword Draw had consumed a tremendous amount of Dou Qi.
Though the technique hadn't been used at its full Heaven-tier potential, it had still drained nearly seventy percent of his energy.
Far off, Fan Lao steadied himself and wiped the cold sweat from his brow. His lips twitched involuntarily.
