The faintly discernible black sword shadows were like the shadows cast on the wall by a tree branch being blown by the wind. As the Four-armed Sword Fiend's sword arms vibrated, the layers of black shadows instantly enveloped the entire building …
Just when the onlookers thought that Xie Lin had yet to complete his breakthrough and that there was nothing he could do to turn the situation around …
A glaring blood-red glow suddenly lit up a few windows in the building. Almost at the same time, countless blood-red electric arcs spread out from the building, instantly illuminating the entire space.
On the walls of the building, countless blood-red electric arcs and black shadows fought each other. It was like a crazy dance party where everyone was dancing wildly.
The battle between the blood-red glow and black shadows only lasted for a moment. In less than two to three seconds, the entire building completely collapsed amidst a series of rumbles, turning into ruins.
The blood-red glow and black shadows that had been entangled around the building disappeared almost at the same time. The blood-red light and black shadows dissipated at the same time, and the entire area returned to peace.
A figure in a black robe stood in the middle of the ruins of the building.
Under the moonlight, one could faintly see that the face under the hood was completely covered by a black mask, as if it was separated by a layer of black water.
Lin Huang appeared again, seemingly unharmed.
Not only that, but his aura was also completely different from before.
Lin Huang, who had activated Sword Dao true meaning, now gave off the feeling that he was a peerless divine sword that had been unsheathed.
Many of the onlookers present were sword cultivators. At that moment, it seemed like they could not take their eyes off him.
"Such a terrifying aura, he's obviously already broken through to Sword Dao true meaning!"
"Is this a powerhouse who has mastered Sword Dao true meaning? Standing in front of him, I actually feel very insignificant! "
"I thought that if level-6 Sword Dao is a raging river, then Sword Dao true meaning should be an endless ocean. However, I've realized that I was wrong. Sword Dao true meaning isn't an ocean, it's a starry sky! "
…
Unrivaled God and the other three looked rather grim at that moment. They had wanted to attack Xie Lin before he had completely broken through to Sword Dao true meaning and interrupt his elevation. However, from the looks of it now, this plan had completely failed. Xie Lin had obviously completed his breakthrough in Sword Dao true meaning.
What they didn't know was that all Lin Huang did was unseal his Saber Intent, a process that could be completed in an instant. As for the increase in his aura, it was merely a misunderstanding caused by the recovery of his aura after the seal had been lifted. Even if his aura had not recovered to its peak condition, it would not affect his use of Sword Dao true meaning in the slightest.
"What do we do now? Xie Lin has completed his breakthrough in Sword Dao true meaning! " Forbidden Lamella asked the other three through voice transmission immediately. He was the first to fight Lin Huang among the four of them, so he was rather wary of Lin Huang's ability. Now that he saw that Lin Huang's Sword Dao had broken through to Sword Dao true meaning, he could not help but want to retreat.
"What else can we do? Do you think that if we admit defeat now, he will let us leave safely? "Frontier mocked.
"He's only just completed his breakthrough. He still needs time to familiarize himself with the usage of Sword Dao true meaning. Moreover, we have the Sword Formation Shadow, so our abilities aren't any weaker than his. We still have a chance of winning. "Departed Feather was clearly unwilling to admit defeat so easily.
After the three of them voiced their opinions, they turned their heads to look at Unrivaled Combat God who had yet to speak.
Unrivaled Combat God only spoke slowly with a determined look in his eyes when he noticed the three of them staring at him.
"I think I can lose, but I can't retreat. This is the Sword Dao that I believe in. Even if I take a step back, my Sword Heart might be tarnished, and I might never have the chance to achieve Sword Dao true meaning again! Therefore, to me personally, no matter what your final decision is, I'll continue this battle myself! "
Unrivaled Combat God's words made the three of them reflect.
As a weapon on the battlefield, a sword was all about advancing bravely.
No matter which direction one cultivated Sword Dao, if one did not dare to draw his sword when facing an enemy, it might leave an indelible shadow in one's heart. By then, it would be really difficult to break through to Sword Dao true meaning.
After Unrivaled Combat God pointed this out, the three of them united almost without hesitation.
"Fight!"
As Unrivaled Combat God shouted, the sword formation changed again.
In the void, the Four-armed Sword Fiend's shadow pounced directly at Lin Huang, its four sword arms instantly turning into a sky full of afterimages …
Lin Huang swung his sword as well, blood-red Thunder overflowing on the blade …
It was the same sword technique, but after unlocking the true meaning of Sword Dao, its power was completely different from before.
The two silhouettes disappeared immediately after colliding. The next instant, they reappeared on another rooftop. After another head-on collision, the two of them separated again and collided on the second rooftop after accumulating power …
The entire space was filled with black and red lights, as if there were no other colors.
The deafening rumbles were incessant. Apart from the endless, deafening explosions, the crowd could hear almost nothing else.
Wherever the two of them passed, buildings collapsed one after another, disintegrating and turning into piles of debris.
The energy waves generated by their collision forced most of the onlookers to move hundreds of kilometers away.
The endless wind howled as if millions of devils were wailing at the same time …
Lin Huang became more and more courageous as the battle progressed. It was his first time fighting with his full abilities since mastering Sword Dao true meaning. The more he fought, the more comfortable and relaxed he felt.
On the other side, Unrivaled Combat God and the other three's expressions grew increasingly grim.
Maintaining the sword formation consumed a large amount of Divine Power, and the consumption of Divine Power increased exponentially when they were in battle. Almost every time the sword formation shadow swung its sword, the Divine Power in the four of them would pour out more than ten times their full power.
Moreover, Unrivaled Combat God, who was at the center of the formation, was under even more pressure. He had to gather Divine Telekinesis from the sword formation to capture Lin Huang's movements and sword techniques' trajectories. The consumption of Divine Telekinesis was more than ten times that of a normal battle.
The battle had only started for less than five minutes, but the four of them were beginning to feel exhausted.
One side was getting more and more courageous as the battle progressed, while the other was losing momentum. Lin Huang had gone from being evenly matched in the beginning to gradually gaining the upper hand in the battle.
Sensing that Unrivaled Combat God and the other three were exhausted, Lin Huang did not end the battle with a killing move right away. Instead, he squeezed out the remaining value of the sword formation shadow bit by bit.
This sword formation shadow had integrated almost all the sword techniques that the four of them had mastered. When they were unleashed at the standard of Sword Dao true meaning, Lin Huang saw many things that he could learn from and learn from.
The battle went on like this for close to half an hour. This was the result of Lin Huang holding back on purpose. If he had attacked with all his might, Unrivaled Combat God and the others would have been defeated over ten minutes ago.
Just when Lin Huang was about to continue squeezing out the remaining value of Unrivaled Combat God and the others, a message came from Warlord all of a sudden.
"The 60 suspected BOSSes have all been selected!"
Lin Huang did not bother wasting any more time with Unrivaled Combat God and the others when he heard the message.
After all, there were only two days left until the end of the Trial. Every minute he wasted here might mean one less BOSSes to be hunted.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Huang attacked with all his might without hesitation.
The saber in his hand suddenly spewed out a terrifying red flame from the hilt of the saber. In just a breath, the flame turned into a laser cannon that slashed in the direction of the saber array.
He had used this move not long ago, but this time, it was more than ten times more powerful.
The diameter of the red flames that gushed out was several times larger than before. There was also a faint black fog surrounding the flames. In an instant, the terrifying shock wave directly engulfed the saber array phantom, whose movements had become somewhat sluggish. Then, it penetrated hundreds of small buildings in the distance.
The competitors who were watching watched with their mouths agape as the buildings at the edge of the shockwave disintegrated into powder.
The power of this slash was beyond everyone's imagination.
In less than two breaths' time after the sword formation shadow was engulfed by the red shockwave, the sword formation of Unrivaled Combat God and the other three disintegrated directly. The four of them spat out mouthfuls of blood as their auras weakened rapidly. Their Divine Power was almost depleted, and they could not even stand properly.
A moment later, the red glow in the air dissipated. There was a faint smell of something burning in the air.
Everyone lifted their eyes to look in the direction where the sword formation shadow had been standing. There was nothing there, not even a trace of aura left.
"I'm sorry, I have to get back to business, so I have to end the battle with you guys early."
Lin Huang sheathed his sword and hovered mid-air, looking down at Unrivaled Combat God and the other three who were dispirited.
"You guys have lost. According to the rules of the Competitive Trial, I can kill you right away and take your points. However, I'm giving you guys another option now. "
Unrivaled Combat God and the other three thought they were dead for sure. They lifted their heads to look at Lin Huang when they heard that he had another option.
"I won't ask for too much. I'll give you ten complete true god-level sword skill inheritances in exchange for your life! The four of you will get 40 in total. You guys can pool it together. If it's not enough, you can buy it from the other spectators. As long as you don't provoke me first after the deal is done, I won't bother you guys anymore.
"However, my time is limited. I'll give you guys three minutes to prepare at most. Whoever doesn't hand it over after three minutes will die. "
Lin Huang lowered his head to look at the time on his wristwatch after he was done speaking. "The countdown begins now!"
The reason Lin Huang did this was that killing the four of them would definitely cause the grade-7 organizations to hate him and hunt him down. After all, the four of them were seeds that they had painstakingly cultivated. God knew how much resources and effort they had expended.
If he really killed the four of them, even Death's Scythe might not be able to protect him. He would have a hard time in the God Territory in the future.
He had considered reading the four's memories directly. However, considering that the grade-7 organizations must have special techniques to protect their core members' souls, the four of them were seeds, so they must have similar techniques in their bodies. He could only give up on the idea.
As for threatening the four of them to pay for their lives, the reason was that all treasures and equipment above virtual god-level could not be used in this Trial space. Even a god sequence relic (heavenly god relic) could not be used to protect one's life. Unless it was a lord-level treasure, it could only break the rules set by Great Heaven.
If the four of them really had a lord-level treasure, they would definitely not be willing to use it easily, even if it was a one-time use treasure. Compared to a treasure like that, true god-level sword skills were completely insignificant.
Of course, the four of them might have some life-saving techniques of their own. However, the Divine Power and spiritual power in their bodies had been drained from the attack earlier. Even if they had techniques, they could not use them.
The reason why Lin Huang asked for ten true god-level sword skill inheritances was that he knew very well that true god-level sword skills were not considered too precious to grade-7 organizations. If they could use true god-level sword skills to pay for their lives, the four of them would most likely not say no, even if the number was a little too much.
"Ten is a little too much. Can it be less?" Forbidden Lamella bargained after a moment of hesitation.
"No, I said we can buy from someone else if it's not enough." Lin Huang smirked and announced the time right away, "You guys have 174 seconds left!"
"Ten it is. You must keep your word! You can't attack us after the deal is done! "Departed Feather scoffed.
"Of course. There are so many pairs of eyes watching us. I can't kill them all, can I?" Lin Huang nodded with a smile.
Departed Feather was the first to complete the deal after hearing that.
Frontier was next. He did not say anything, merely handing over his sword skills expressionlessly.
The third was Unrivaled Combat God. He tried to strike up a conversation with Lin Huang with a smile on his face.
"Before we make the deal, I have a question I'd like you to answer."
"One true god-level sword skill for one question," Lin Huang said without holding back.
Unrivaled Combat God was stunned for a moment, but he nodded and agreed anyway.
"My question is, did you only use two moves from the beginning to the end when you fought us?"
"You saw through me?" Lin Huang nodded without hesitation. "The first move is called Thunder Eclipse. It's an ultimate speed move. All of the blood-red thunder came from this move. As for the shockwave that I used later, it's called Sword Cascade. It's an ultimate strength-type move. "
Lin Huang was not worried that Unrivaled Combat God would copy him when he told him all this. Even if he taught Unrivaled Combat God the move himself, Unrivaled Combat God's power would definitely be inferior to his.
"Are there any other moves?" Unrivaled Combat God asked curiously.
"That's the second question. Are you sure you want to ask?" Lin Huang looked at Unrivaled Combat God with a smile.
Unrivaled Combat God hesitated for a moment but shook his head anyway. "Forget it. There's no point in knowing."
After that, he handed over 11 true god-level sword skills without any hesitation.
The last person to complete the deal was Forbidden Lamella. He only had eight true god-level sword skills with him. He spent a huge sum of money to buy two from Unrivaled Combat God to make up for the remaining ten, which he then traded to Lin Huang.
Lin Huang thought to himself as he watched Unrivaled Combat God hand over 13 true god-level sword skills so easily.
"Ten seems to be too few …"
However, Lin Huang was in a great mood now that he had obtained 41 true god-level sword skills.
He was not worried that Unrivaled Combat God and the other three would seek revenge later. After all, robbing the four of them would not cross the line of grade-7 organizations like the Combat God Temple. To them, it was just a grudge between juniors at most. Moreover, it would not look good if word got out. Instead, it was more likely that they would try their best to keep it under wraps.
Moreover, he had Death's Scythe's support. Even if someone really came looking for trouble, Death's Scythe would definitely be on his side. After all, as a top grade-6 organization, Death's Scythe rarely had the chance to humiliate grade-7 organizations. To Death's Scythe, this time, it was something to be proud of.
After completing the deal with Unrivaled Combat God and the other three, Lin Huang left right away without even looking at the onlookers.
He did not meet Fallen Star and the other two because he did not want Unrivaled Combat God and the other three to vent their anger on them.
Under Warlord's guidance, he sped toward the nearest BOSS eagerly …
