Chapter 343 Wan Jun and Lang Xin's Confrontation
Originally extremely confident in himself, Wan Jun was at first very puzzled when he saw the bracelet. However, when Rogue Heart Sword Hero wrapped the bracelet around the hilt of the Tang Blade Demon Slayer, and his aura rapidly increased, Wan Jun's expression changed. Because at that moment, he finally remembered what that bracelet was. Still, he was somewhat uncertain; after all, the object had been lost for too long. Had it not been for a secret record of the Ancient War he came across after killing the Supreme Sword Sovereign, he probably would not have known what the bracelet was at all.
However, that object had been completely lost since the Ancient War, and although imitations had appeared in later generations, they were incomparable to the real thing. Therefore, Wan Jun suspected that the bracelet worn by Rogue Heart Sword Hero was also an imitation. After all, if it were truly that object, it would be far too shocking. The Nine Great Divine Kingdoms had searched for it to no avail, and Wan Jun did not believe that Rogue Heart Sword Hero could obtain it after death by virtue of his Soul Body alone.
But as Rogue Heart Sword Hero's aura continued to rise, Wan Jun nevertheless felt his heart racing with alarm. Even if it were an imitation, wasn't its functionality far too powerful? Were it not for the Domain Instrument Seven-Star Dragon Abyss continuously exuding thick Demonic Qi in his hand, Wan Jun might have entertained the idea of retreating without a fight.
But Wan Jun was, after all, Wan Jun. How could someone who had a Domain Instrument acknowledge him as its master be an ordinary individual? Feeling Rogue Heart Sword Hero's aura still increasing, Wan Jun suddenly tore off his already somewhat tattered upper garments, revealing a body of well-defined muscles. Then, with a flick of his left thumb, a black elixir suddenly appeared and swiftly flew into Wan Jun's mouth.
After swallowing the unknown Elixir, mysterious black patterns suddenly appeared on Wan Jun's skin. However, his hair turned silver-white instantly, which looked surprisingly similar to Sun Wukong's transformation during the Chaos Giant Transformation. Not only that, aside from being black, the patterns that formed on his body were extremely similar to the dark red ones that had been on Jixin's body.
Once the black patterns had spread over his entire body, Wan Jun suddenly lifted his head and extended his left hand, pointing at Rogue Heart Sword Hero, whose aura was still wildly increasing, and said, "Back then, my master died under this state of mine, and today, you will too!" As soon as his words fell, the ground where Wan Jun stood suddenly burst apart, with the entire surface fracturing inch by inch, and the ground within ten meters around crumbled instantaneously. This clearly occurred because the explosive power Wan Jun released in an instant was too great for the ground to bear.
But what came with this immense burst of power was terrifying speed, practically with the rapidity of Instantaneous Movement. The moment the ground burst open, Wan Jun had already appeared in front of Rogue Heart Sword Hero. The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword in his hands lit up with seven stars, and then he swung the sword in a broad arc, sending a massive crescent-shaped blade of Power of the Stars directly slashing towards Rogue Heart Sword Hero.
However, Rogue Heart Sword Hero showed not the slightest panic due to Wan Jun's sudden increase in speed and surprise attack, slowly raising his left arm in a defensive maneuver to block on the left side. In his right hand, he still held the black Tang Blade, which now exhibited streaks of pure white light, seemingly like cracks, along its blade.
As Rogue Heart Sword Hero's right arm lifted, a replica of his left arm suddenly materialized on his left side. This arm, however, was entirely composed of pure Power of Light, and even the glowing bracers of the armor appeared perfectly solidified on it. Thus, this strike from Wan Jun was blocked by the light-formed arm that sprung out of nowhere.
Wan Jun's expression changed at that moment, as Rogue Heart Sword Hero had once again exceeded his expectations. It seems that although this imitation was not as powerful as the real thing, it had formidable strength, even capable of utilizing abilities like the Avatar of Light. And that Power of Light seemed to be incredibly pure. If his strike had not been made of Power of the Stars, there might have been a chance for the Power of Light to invade him.
But do you think you can surpass me with just an imitation artifact? Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Wan Jun looked at his Tang Blade, now full of cracks, and had a bad premonition. Snorting coldly, Wan Jun moved again. Meanwhile, the black patterns on his body began to shift as if coming to life, finally forming two unknown patterns on his right shoulder and the back of his right hand. Then he clenched the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword in his right hand and leaped high into the air.
When Wan Jun reappeared, he was situated about a hundred meters directly above the Rogue Heart Sword Hero. Black light surged in the palm of his left hand, and a black sphere materialized within it. With a flick of his wrist, he hurled the sphere out, and then his left hand, tightly gripping the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, ruthlessly cleaved downward. This time, Wan Jun did not use the Power of the Stars but instead tapped into the force of an ancient dragon sealed within the Domain Instrument. As the sword came down, a unicorn evil dragon emerged amidst the swirling Demonic Qi of the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss. However, when the dragon head with the unicorn horn fully appeared, one could see it was not a dragon in the usual sense. Although it had a dragon's head, its body resembled that of a turtle.
If one really had to say, it bore some resemblance to the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Spirit Beasts of the Myriad Demons Country. As this creature with the unicorn horn, dragon head, and turtle body appeared, it plummeted straight down toward the Rogue Heart Sword Hero, its long unicorn horn sharp with the intent to pierce through everything, aimed directly at him.
Having missed with his first strike, Wan Jun realized that the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's defensive power had significantly increased after obtaining the Power of Light. Thus, his attack aimed to pinpoint and break through the defense of the Rogue Heart Sword Hero. Wan Jun had great confidence in this Unicorn Dragon Turtle. Apart from the Domain Instrument and the World Suppressing Stele, Wan Jun couldn't think of anything that could withstand the unicorn horn attack of the demon dragon turtle.
Moreover, the attack of the Unicorn Dragon Turtle was not its ultimate killing move. In the blink of an eye, the demon dragon ghost had already crossed the hundred-meter distance, its long unicorn horn stabbing towards the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's head like the sharpest of spears. At this moment, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero finally made his move.
After such a long buildup, the black Tang Blade in the hands of the Rogue Heart Sword Hero had transformed into a white longsword, emanating a pure aura of light. As the Unicorn Dragon Turtle's horn came just over two meters from the Rogue Heart Sword Hero, the tremendous momentum already causing the ground where he stood to begin to sink, it was at that moment that the Rogue Heart Sword Hero abruptly looked up and thrust the transformed white Tang Blade Demon Slayer directly overhead.

Compared to the unicorn horn of the demon dragon ghost, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero—whether his entire being or the Demon-breaking Slash in his hand—seemed so insignificant and trivial. Yet, it was this seemingly inconsequential thrust that actually brought the massive form of the demon dragon ghost to a halt.
The tip of the Tang Blade Demon Slayer met the sharp point of the unicorn horn. A powerful surge of momentum then emanated from the point of contact, the two exceedingly sharp forces causing everyone present to pause. The ground beneath the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's feet turned to dust in an instant, yet his figure did not waver in the slightest.
Even as the earth beneath him sank deeply, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero stood suspended in the air, and an unshakable aura of resilience emerged.
This was just the beginning. The longsword Demon Slayer countered the Unicorn Dragon Turtle, and then the Rogue Heart Sword Hero tilted his blade, disengaging the resistance. Having lost the counterforce, the demon dragon ghost, which had been still, suddenly fell downward. The Rogue Heart Sword Hero shifted five steps to the left, dodging the descending Unicorn Dragon Turtle.
However, when the Unicorn Dragon Turtle fell beside him, level with him, the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's right hand seemed to move slowly, lightly drawing across, followed by a nearly invisible flash of white light. And just like that, the massive Unicorn Dragon Turtle was split in two!
