The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

Hearing Xuan Guang's words, a flicker of understanding crossed the eyes of Xuanyin Sword Residence, grasping the road he now had to take.

The orthodox path to ascend to Divinity had come to an end for Xuanyin Sword Residence, as it was impossible for him to advance further on that route. If he were to ascend to God, he had no choice but to walk the left path, which was the way of incorporating Xuanyin Sword Energy that he was currently on.

However, how to advance to Divinity through this left path remained elusive to Xuanyin Sword Residence, and despite possessing the battle power of Divine Communication, he had yet to reach that realm.

Now, upon hearing Xuan Guang's words, he finally found a clue.

Seeing the look in Xuanyin Sword Residence's eyes, Xuan Guang spoke without delay, "This seat once faced similar constraints as you, yet now I am a Divine Communication Venerable. If you serve under me, I will ensure you break through to true Divinity."

The cunning and shrewd Xuan Guang wouldn't have said so much if he hadn't seen the value in Xuanyin Sword Residence.

Just over a month ago, Xuanyin Sword Residence was known as 'Juelu Sword Madman' in worldly society, evidently having been subdued by someone only recently.

With such a short time, his loyalty could not be guaranteed, so Xuan Guang naturally wanted to see if he could steal a march on others.

[This Xuan Guang...]

[Sword Residence, use your strongest technique to attack him.]

Qing Yu suddenly transmitted his thoughts in the mind.

Xuanyin Sword Residence nodded silently, raising his Ju Shi Sword; six sword shadows unfolded behind him like a Peacock fanning its feathers, filled with immense Sword Intent.

"Six Swords United·Absolute Sword."

The sword shadows merged into one huge ghostly green Sword Qi, shooting forth.

The massive Sword Qi carried with it the despair of breaking through obstacles and the force to cleave through anything, intent on slaying every enemy. This was not only the culmination of Xuanyin Sword Residence's half-life experience but also his summary of Xuanyin Sword Energy.

In the time of seclusion, he had not been solely focused on merging with Xuanyin Sword Energy. Or rather, he was not simply content with and reliant on the Xuanyin Sword Energy alone. He also sought to carve out his own path, a new path.

"Ungrateful wretch."

Xuanyin Sword Residence's hesitation-free assault caused Xuan Guang's expression to darken. A vile aura surged within him, "Since you refuse to submit, this seat shall send you to your death."

The chaotic Evil Qi swelled within his body, and Xuan Guang fully unleashed the Southern Border Battle Body. The Earthly Evil Qi made the air around turn murky and obscure.

"Earthly Evil Four Symbols Palm."

The murky Evil Qi took on the frightening form of the Four Symbols. The shapes of the Four Holy Beasts lost their sacred aspect and were instead filled with a malicious, vile aura.

As the sinister Earthly Evil Beasts merged into one, they formed a gigantic, pale palm that pressed down on the ghostly green giant sword.

"Boom—"

The vile Qi burst forth in all directions; the ferocious aura spreading wide, the Earthly Evil Four Symbols Palm struck hard against the Absolute Sword, with the Evil Sword Qi cutting through the vile aura, and the Earthly Evil Power devouring the intent of the Evil Sword.

With both moves embodying ferocity and evilness, which one would emerge victorious?

"Open Territory."

Xuan Guang suddenly rallied the Earthly Evil Qi, with his Battle Marks flashing a dull yet vast light. A punch thundered forth, its overpowering Fist Power intercepting the momentum of Absolute Sword, crushing it utterly.

"Die!"

Having gained the upper hand, Xuan Guang channeled Infinite Power with his palm, the pale giant palm reappearing, crashing down with a suppressive force.

If he could not possess it, then it should be destroyed. Xuan Guang felt no trace of regret for enemy combatants like Xuanyin Sword Residence should meet their best destiny in death.

Facing imminent danger, and unable to gather his returning energy in time, Xuanyin Sword Residence could only activate his Xuanyin Sword Armor, hoping to deflect Xuan Guang's lethal blow.

Just at that moment, a dark golden figure silently appeared not far behind Xuan Guang, with a dense darkness enveloping the figure.

Dark Ice and Fire Seven Heavens, First Layer Heaven·Time Stasis.

That momentary stasis, which signaled danger, prevented Xuan Guang from timely responding to the stealth attack from behind.

During the 0.1-second stasis, three True Qi surged out, transforming into three equally pitch-black human forms.

Third Layer Heaven·Unrivaled Awakening.

Turning Qi into form, creating avatars, three moves were executed simultaneously by the three avatars.

Vajra Release.

Bodhisattva Destruction.

Guanyin Chaos.

The conical force of Muscle Splitting, the iron-melting Fire Power, a myriad of chaotic and swift palm shadows hit Xuan Guang at the same time, making him spit out a mouthful of blood as soon as time resumed its course.

"Despicable scoundrel."

Among the surging Earthly Evil Qi, the shapes of vile beasts could be discerned. Xuan Guang suddenly turned and struck out four palms backward; with each palm, he manifested a beast of the Four Symbols made out of Evil Qi. At the same time, his figure shot forward in a rapid burst, seeking to escape.

"Tathagata Break."

The response to these four palms was an exceedingly powerful one. Qing Yu shed the darkness, and behind him emerged the figure of a giant Buddha. Buddha and Demon changed at will, and with Infinite Power gathered, a strike that combined man and Buddha shattered the Four Evil Beasts.

"Boom——"

Amidst the powerful Golden Saint Buddha Light, Xuan Guang let out a scream. However, at the same time, relying on the resilience of his Southern Border Battle Body, he used the force to retreat, his figure flashed, immediately covering a vast distance, and vanished from sight.

To pursue swiftly after a victory is an unchanging truth throughout the ages, and naturally, Qing Yu would not violate it.

Wind and Thunder gathered underfoot, and with Thunder God Illness and an upgraded version of Wind God Leg, inherited from Nie Feng, under Qing Yu's control, the seemingly opposing forces of Wind and Thunder complemented each other, unleashing incredible speed.

As Wind and Thunder surged, Qing Yu's figure turned into a stretched shadow, catching up to the frantically fleeing Xuan Guang, with black Qi erupting from his body once again, oscillating sound waves resounding.

Fourth Layer Heaven·Deep Hatred.

This move specifically countered hard skill, attacking the opponent with special sound waves that could cause intense shock and damage within the opponent's body, its power terrifying as if being scourged by thousands of knives. At the same time, it used spiritual power to magnify the opponent's sensation of pain, intensifying it tenfold, a hundredfold.

"Ah——"

Xuan Guang's Southern Border Battle Body was a first-class hard skill and the source of his remaining strength despite Qing Yu's sudden attack.

But under Qing Yu's Deep Hatred, the Southern Border Battle Body was ineffective; instead, the deliberately targeted move magnified the pain, causing Xuan Guang to experience unprecedented severe agony in an instant.

This intense pain even made Xuan Guang of the God Realm scream, indicating its extreme severity.

Yet even in such a situation, Xuan Guang still did not give up. With the Evil Qi returning and essence blood igniting, he unleashed a burst of power that exceeded his limits. His Qi Mechanism suddenly interacted with the Earth Veins, and in an instant, his figure shot away once more.

Qing Yu also burst forth at top speed, chasing with all his might, but was unable to match the extreme burst of strength from the burning of essence blood, falling behind momentarily, he lost sight of Xuan Guang.

"The fastest stepping technique of the Southern Border Witch Sect, 'Contending Sun Chasing Sun,' has been learned by Xuan Guang. His position in the Southern Border Witch Sect must not be low."

The heritage of the Southern Border Witch Sect runs deep, and this 'Contending Sun Chasing Sun' is said to mimic the Sun Chasing Witch God from the sect's legends, daring to compete in speed with the sun.

After burning his essence blood, Xuan Guang's use of this stepping technique was no wonder he could escape Qing Yu's pursuit.

"Uncle Master, Uncle Master, though I was unable to take your life this time, I look forward to our next encounter," Qing Yu watched the direction of Xuan Guang's departure, and beneath the Dark Gold Mask, there was an enigmatic smile.

Xuan Guang, who once treated him as a pawn, was now fleeing in a sorry state under his hand. How the world turns indeed brings no end of wonders.
