Chapter 480

Just as the legions on both sides retreated less than a meter, a third thunderous boom erupted. More soldiers from both sides began vomiting blood. By this time, only those with the cultivation of a Greater Martial Master or higher were still capable of moving backward; the remaining soldiers could only tremble where they stood. The crater between the two men expanded by another twenty-five percent. At this moment, the First Grand Protector, Ye Xingchen, finally grasped the true strength of the Divine Sword Xie Xiaofeng, just as Xie Xiaofeng gained a clear understanding of Ye Xingchen’s capabilities. Neither feared the other, and both were galvanized by the sword intent radiating from their opponent's exquisite sword techniques. The Divine Sword Xie Xiaofeng moved in an instant. Within a single second, he unleashed the sixth, seventh, and eighth forms of the Death-Defying Sword: "Lowering Head to Drop Boots," "Retreating Like a Returning Swallow," and "Fading Light." As he attacked, he gradually advanced, and by the time the three strikes were complete, he had arrived at a point thirty meters from the edge of the crater.
