Clang!
As Su Zhengchen drew back his raised right hand, a three-foot sword appeared in it with a flash.
This sword was simple and ancient, its body covered in years of rust. Even the tassel hanging from the hilt had mostly rotted away. However, the part of the edge not covered in rust was still as sharp as ever, apparently unaffected by the passage of time.
Upon close inspection, one would find that small characters from an ancient script had been inscribed on the sword, together with exquisite cloud designs. They imbued the sword with a sense of nobility, holiness, and mystery.
As soon as Su Zhengchen grasped the sword, his entire being transformed, his demeanor becoming like an extremely sharp and dangerous sword.
Even True Lord Yellow Dragon sensed the change in Su Zhengchen, and he couldn't help but furrow his brow.
”Your Majesty Taizong, I'm sorry! This lowly subject must break the promise I made with you!”
A complicated light gleamed in Su Zhengchen's eyes as he gazed at the sword, but it swiftly faded away.
Boom! A peerlessly sharp Sword Qi surged out of his body and into the sword, instantly sweeping away the dust and rust to reveal the shining blade beneath.
Su Zhengchen was nurtured in turn by the sword, his energy growing sharper and more vicious, breaking free of its restraints. One wave of frightening Sword Qi after another radiated from his body.
If Wang Chong had been here, he would have been stunned. This was because it had been a very long time since Su Zhengchen had last used a weapon. Even when he was teaching martial arts to Wang Chong, he had only used his hand.
”Interesting. I didn't expect a trick like this. But even after summoning this sword, you are still an ant who can change nothing!”
With a chuckle, True Lord Yellow Dragon once more became disdainful and confident. This human truly was very strong, but if this was all, then he was still a little lacking.
”Since you so earnestly long for death, this god will fulfill your wish!”
True Lord Yellow Dragon showed no mercy this time, his fingers immediately clenching into a fist.
Boom!
As True Lord Yellow Dragon punched, it felt like a meteor had crashed into a lake, creating a massive wave. This wave was one of pure golden light that hurtled toward Su Zhengchen as fast as lightning.
This fist moved so quickly that it took less than a second to reach Su Zhengchen.
Boom! Su Zhengchen and his sword were instantly annihilated by True Lord Yellow Dragon's fist.
”True Lord!”
All the men in black madly cheered, but True Lord Yellow Dragon raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
”It's not right!”
It didn't feel like his punch had killed Su Zhengchen.
Buzz!
As this idea flitted through True Lord Yellow Dragon's mind, he spotted a flash of light at the corner of his vision. A pillar of Sword Qi was coming down behind his left-hand side, falling like a collapsing tree.
This Sword Qi tore through space like it was paper.
Kaboom! In the blink of an eye, that Sword Qi crashed against True Lord Yellow Dragon's body.
A vast wave of Stellar Energy erupted from the impact site. ”Aaaah!” The Imperial Army elites and men in black closest to the wave were instantly jolted to death, their bodies tossed high into the air.
”Retreat! Retreat!”
Cries of alarm resounded through the air as everyone fell back. When experts like True Lord Yellow Dragon and Su Zhengchen fought, even the aftershocks would be enough to annihilate experts beneath the Saint Martial realm.
True Lord Yellow Dragon and Su Zhengchen cared nothing for what those around him were doing.
”Wait! That wasn't his real body!”
Golden Stellar Energy radiated from True Lord Yellow Dragon, blocking Su Zhengchen's Sword Qi. His face was solemn, and his attention wasn't on his left at all.
True Lord Yellow Dragon had just noticed something. From the moment that mortal martial artist of the Great Tang had grasped that sword, his aura had vanished from Taiji Palace.
To be more precise, the entire area was now 'him'.
