<h4>Chapter 4426: One sh</h4>


    The second swing was the opposite of the first - slow and observable. It also gave the impression of mastery and steadiness.


    The trajectory of the saber divided the myriadws and split heaven and earth. Everyone assumed that he would use extreme speed again. s, this swing was moving at a snail’s pace.


    Nheless, it still shocked Jian Qingzhu. On the surface, it seemed ordinary but because she was its creator, she could see the clear transformation.


    His performance could be traced back to the source, being as simple as can be. Though she could perform it quite elegantly, it looked rather shypared to his.


    He had reached a state of apogee with perfect movement. One more inch would be too much and one fewer would be too little. It seemed that he had measured the swing to the exact.


    The minute transformations were imperceptible by the spectators for they contain the most profound aspects of the dao.


    She took a deep breath and tried to focus on catching the details. She thought that he was the saber technique’s creator, not her. Usually, creators had the best grasp on any particr technique.


    Now, it looked like she was a student who hasn’t done a good job ofprehending it. This was rather confusing because she hasn’t taught him before. Nheless, his attainment had far exceeded hers.


    “Whoosh!” It cut through the lotus petals like a butcher’s de cutting through fat, meeting zero resistance.


    “Boom!” The lotus itself felt threatened and became resplendent. The nextyer of petals increased in size and flew towards Li Qiye with the force of a thousand mountains.


    Unfortunately, the strongest state of the lotus was still not enough to match this profound sh. It continued forward and cut through all theyers as if they were blocks of tofu.


    Meanwhile, the ex-sect master’s spear’s mes drew closer. The rays intended on obliterating Li Qiye.


    He swung his saber again with the grace of a phoenix. The iing inferno was immediately devoured by an invisible phoenix. The strongest mes meant nothing before this divine beast.


    It then cut through several suns, causing them to explode and nearly send the ex-sect master flying.


    However, once he calmed down, he saw Li Qiye’s saber inches away from his chest. He screamed and summoned a special mirror - his strongest defense. This was still not enough and the de crushed it.


    “Ssh!” Blood gushed out from his chest as he screamed and started falling to the ground.


    People became speechless as they saw the drops of blood dripping down Li Qiye’s de.


    Sure, the ex-sect master was far from being an apex existence. Nheless, a seven-dao sovereign was still quite impressive whenpared to a junior.


    That wound was deep and frightening. The ex-sect master sealed the opening and stopped the bleeding.


    s, his face was pale as he trembled while standing. It could be from fear or just blood loss.


    The crowd was shaken to see the decisive exchange. However, the most shocked was still Jian Qingzhu. She didn’t realize that her own saber art could be so profound. She understood the next steps after observing Li Qiye.


    “Just one swing again.” One expertmented after calming down.


    The three ancient ancestors were deep in rumination, wondering if they could havee out unscathed from that sh earlier.


    “That was to let you feel death. The next will take your life, will your sone and save you?” Li Qiye smiled.


    “You!” The ex-sect master trembled, feeling both fear and anger. Thetter was much more overwhelming.


    This wasn’t his first time participating in a life-or-death battle. s, he thought that there was a death god with a cruel visage smirking in front of him - Li Qiye. He could indeed feel death iing.


    “Now, ept it.” Li Qiye smiled and raised his saber again.


    “Fellow Daoist, show mercy!” Featherhat Paragon rushed over with lightning speed, wanting to save the ex-sect master. He couldn’t just stand and watch since he was working for Five-sun King.


    “How meddlesome.” Li Qiye casually swung his de.


    “Ssh!” It cut the paragon, leaving a bone-deep wound with blood gushing out.


    He looked down at his chest and saw the horizontal wound, realizing that he was almost cut into two pieces. He immediately stopped, not daring to move forward.


    The crowd finally got what they wanted - another swift sh. Unfortunately, they couldn’t see anything again.


    “Are you ready?” Li Qiye smiled and asked the ex-sect master.


    “You… don’t be insane… my son will avenge me and kill all your n members…” The ex-sect master staggered backward repeatedly while shouting.


    “Not this again. Die.” Li Qiye took one step forward.


    “Stop!” Peacock Monarch could no longer watch this development.
