In an instant, a ripple emerged, and the void swelled like the surface of a lake, spreading waves wherever they passed. The hundred-zhang sword light suddenly shattered, its splintered radiance falling like a big star crashing down on the mountains and rivers of the land.
The piercing firelight that tainted the sky seemed to scorch this entire realm clean.
This scene froze as if in place, leaving everyone aghast, unable to believe the terrible reality before their eyes.
"Defeated… Defeated!? The Sword Leader's defeated!? How is that possible?"
"The Sword Leader turning his body into a sword, that move uses life itself to defend his Sword Tao and maintain the dignity of the older generation of strongmen. How could he be defeated?"
"Why? Why end this way? So cruel?"
Someone murmured softly, tears glittering in their eyes, shock mingled with deep unwillingness.
