In the last second, he was still mocking Su Chen, and in this second...

Liu Kuo was almost scared to death. At his level and strength, to have a threat approach within ten meters of his body was practically a miracle among miracles, and Su Chen actually... actually managed to do it?

Of course, Liu Kuo is still Liu Kuo. As an Eight-Star Disciple of the Taiyuan Divine Pavilion and a leader among the young generation in Great Luo Heaven, ranked in the forties among the super geniuses of the Heavenly Dao, his combat awareness and experience are extremely ample.

Liu Kuo hesitated not at all; he immediately operated his movement technique!

Retreat.

This is the best method: first avoiding the edge and then finding an opportunity to counter-kill, a choice from his years of combat experience.

Swish!

Liu Kuo raised his foot, accompanied by enormously thick mysterious qi, intending to transform into a startling retreat...

However.

What he could not believe was.

"Boom!"

He seemed to have hit a wall, and his entire being was stopped.

"You..." Liu Kuo's pupils trembled fiercely. If being locked by tens of thousands of Sword Rhythm's Edge made him feel danger and tricky, now he felt the taste of fear, trembling terror, death.

He couldn't even retreat or escape?!

Of course, he couldn't!!!

For Liu Kuo, Su Chen could not afford any slightest underestimation. A Heavenly Dao realm Eighth Layer existence, perhaps much weaker than Ye Zhi, but still extremely strong, extremely strong, extremely strong. To kill Liu Kuo, one cannot simply rely on Sword Rhyme.

Thus, as the Sword Rhyme slowly approached Liu Kuo, Su Chen also wielded the Illusion Crystal close to Liu Kuo.

Sword Rhyme for attack.

Illusion Crystal for defense.

At this moment, what blocked Liu Kuo's escape was the Illusion Crystal.

Liu Kuo's strength is truly terrifying. Although the defense formed by Illusion Crystal blocked his retreat, the crystal itself was directly crashed into cracks, almost shattered, which shows how frightening Liu Kuo's strength is.

However, the Illusion Crystal, like a lump of dough, undying and indestructible, even when broken can be reorganized in a short time, recombined and condensed, without any impact.

Yet the full formation and condensation of Illusion Crystal defenses also need time. According to Su Chen's current control of his Divine Soul Strength, it requires at least one breath.

A single breath, enough for Liu Kuo to escape a hundred times.

In theory, Liu Kuo could fully utilize this one breath to escape again.

What a pity!!!

Sometimes, missing is simply missing.

The sneak attack of Sword Rhyme came so swiftly, akin to instantaneous movement, and with it being so close, Liu Kuo having a chance to retreat once is already a gain, being blocked by Illusion Crystal once, what chance is there to retreat again? The sneak attack of Sword Rhythm's Edge would not be so extravagant as to give Liu Kuo a breath's time to escape.

Tens of thousands of Sword Rhythm's Edge have arrived, already before Liu Kuo's eyes.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss...

Those Sword Rhythm's Edge finally gained some cruel, ear-piercing sounds beneath their silent approach, like the death knell's resonance.

Liu Kuo's face turned deathly pale, had he ever encountered such a killing field? A fatal move? His heart sank to the valleys, about to shatter from the terror.

Damn!

Liu Kuo gritted his teeth viciously, almost breaking them.

He was driven to the ultimate of death.

Yet, still that phrase, Liu Kuo, as a top-level monster in Great Luo Heaven, his combat experience and strength are truly terrifyingly high. Even at this moment, he still did everything he could.

In such panic, he could only forcibly make a move against it; this was the most reluctantly compelled way because, with too little time and too sudden, in this extremely limited time, he can't make powerful techniques, only chaotic moves.

Bang!!!

Not any martial skill could accompany, because operating martial skills requires time, and those Sword Rhythm's Edge have arrived, he lacked time; what he could do was randomly smash out with a punch.

This punch, its power was still decent, after all, existing in Heavenly Dao realm Eighth Layer, even a casual punch still shakes the heaven and earth, resounding with a hiss and boom, still making the space and air before him inch by inch obliterate, carrying immense, heaven-defying fist momentum and Fist Intent.

After this punch was swung.

"Boom..."

Clearly visible, like a nuclear bomb erupting before Liu Kuo, the power was terrifyingly vicious.

To the ultimate of explosion and bombing!

The fluctuations of fist strength had literally a sweeping force over Eight Desolations.

Tens of thousands of Sword Rhythm's Edge actually had a momentary halt, some Sword Rhythm's Edges even vaporized.

From this point, Liu Kuo's strength truly exceeded imagination. The Eighth Layer of Heavenly Dao realm wasn't just a talk.

Liu Kuo himself sighed a little in relief, as long as he could temporarily escape Su Chen's fatal move and catch a breath, he had confidence and assurance to counter-kill, a ruthless expression of deep malice flickering in his eyes towards Su Chen. His killing intent reached an indescribable level, wishing he could instantly dismember Su Chen into a million pieces.

However!

Liu Kuo hadn't finished savoring that breath, hadn't even finished imagining how he would kill Su Chen?

"Puff..."

A sharp sound, accompanied by extreme pain, suddenly resonated.

Liu Kuo instinctively looked down.

Only to see, the chest, penetrated.

Blood mercilessly flowing, unstoppable crimson.

Drip drip drip...

Blood crazily fell and streamed down his body, dyeing patches of the ground in red.

The hole in his chest expanded and spread frantically.

It was Dark Oblivion.

In the distance.

Su Chen muttered to himself: "Luckily."

He felt some relief.

Originally, Su Chen thought, with a Sword Rhyme sneak attack + Illusion Crystal blockade, an attack and defense, along with the sudden speed, it should have been enough to directly take down Liu Kuo, but unexpectedly, it still fell short somewhat, luckily he prepared a backup, that was Dark Oblivion.

The true battle between strong contenders is about who is more cautious? Who has more hidden cards? Whose preparation is more thorough?

In fact, the ease with which Dark Oblivion penetrated Liu Kuo's body was largely due to luck.

Of course, Liu Kuo, nearly being killed by Sword Rhyme and Illusion Crystal, inevitably slackened slightly, with his nerves under ultimate tension causing some unavoidable slack, and that slight slack provided Dark Oblivion the best opportunity for an assassination. Otherwise, mere luck wouldn't suffice.

"Su Chen, you..." Standing by Su Chen's side, Shen Yiyao was stunned, since knowing Su Chen these past few days, always together, but aside from Su Chen killing Sui Wuren, she hadn't truly seen Su Chen make a move.

Regarding her assessment of Su Chen's strength, she thought it was not worse than Sui Yiren, but only guessed, a reckless, perhaps only she dared to guess this guess.

Unexpectedly...

Su Chen's next move was instant kill on Liu Kuo?!

Truly instant kill.

The entire process, don't be deceived by Su Chen using Sword Rhyme, Illusion Crystal, and Dark Oblivion.

In fact, most of the entire process was predetermined sneak attacks buried and concealed, the true slaughter process lasted only a breath or two.

Too fast!!!

Not to mention the other swordsmen present, even Shen Yiyao only reacted at this moment.
