But the true core of the cultivator's power, Tiangong and the Five Palaces, were not affected.

At the moment the blade was about to strike, Jiang Wang swiftly dodged out of the way.

The wielder of the blade was, indeed, the last remaining female in black.

At this very moment, Chang Xiangsi has just severed the head of an enemy.

Four opponents, each a formidable foe. This strike he could not evade, forced to barely escape death... but it was enough.

"Only you remain." Jiang Wang grasped the blade protruding from his abdomen with his left hand, clamping it down. He turned and struck back with a sword!

At this moment, drawing the sword was like pulling a rope. The woman in black held the straight sword with both hands. She could certainly draw the sword back under Jiang Wang's grip, but how much time would it take Could she complete it before Jiang Wang's sword reached her

She wasn't sure, and could only let go.

Let go and retreat quickly!

Their actions had failed, she lamented, realizing this with a pang of regret.

"You can't escape!" she screamed angrily.

Jiang Wangren turned with his sword, already crushing Qing Yun's pursuit.

“You too,” he said calmly.

The woman in black crushed a Taoist seal, instantly summoning wind and thunder.

Boom!

At this moment, heaven and earth crackled with lightning and thunder.

The lightning resembled a silver snake, while the thunder roared like a great drum, illuminating heaven and earth with its grandeur.

But Jiang Wang's left eye, at this moment, turned crimson.

A lone soul charges into battle!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The eye of yang, killing technique falls to the west!

The woman in black only felt a darkness before her eyes, and when she saw clearly again, she had fallen for a day!

Blazing brightly, scorching the world.

She still had things to do. The apocalyptic sun-devouring phantom that had been before her eyes had vanished. She seemed to have resisted it, and yet she also seemed to have been destroyed by it.

She opened her eyes and saw only that face, young and almost touching hers.

Unusual calmness, unusual determination.

With a single stroke, the sword cleaves the neck, and the body is split in two!

Only at this point, with his footing finally secure, did Jiang Wang finally let out a long sigh of relief.

This was a truly difficult battle.

He was covered in seven wounds, one piercing through his abdomen and another tearing at his neck. Both were injuries that could have easily killed him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Let's take a look back at this battle.

Facing four opponents with synchronized divine abilities while alone, wielding only the four divine powers of the Inner Court, there was simply no chance of victory.

He could be said to have controlled the battle almost perfectly.

He was well-known to them. They had carefully studied his battle at the Yellow River Summit, which was why these four figures in black were able to suppress him from the outset and why they were so confident.

He did indeed show everything he could on the riverbank, but his forbidden divine ability hidden in the second inner chamber was never shown to anyone... Those who have seen the path of deviation are already dead.

Sometimes, being too clear-headed can be a hindrance, blinding our eyes.

These people, having understood him deeply, came to over-rely on their perceived "understanding," and in doing so, failed to truly understand him.

At the first moment of the attack, Jiang Wang realized where his only chance of victory lay.

His actions were also very decisive, without any hesitation at all. He directly activated the Sword Immortal state and used his strongest attack as he had shown at the Yellow River Meeting to make these black-clad men "understand".

Let these people have more confidence in their information. That's indeed the most truthful information. It's just that compared to Jiang Wang's strength, it's not complete.

>

Zhuang Chengqian has vanished without a trace, and there is no one in this world who knows the full extent of Jiang Wang's power.

... whereas Jiang Wang displayed his full potential.

> Because he knew his opponent very well, his opponent also knew him very well.

Taking the leader of the black-clothed men who was first removed from the battlefield as an example. Anyone who has truly understood him would know about his dazzling soul-force prowess at the Yellow River Assembly.

Therefore, guarding against his soul invasion is itself a choice.

Having fulfilled her requirements for insight, Jiang Wang directly employed the Deviant Path, limiting the opponent's choices. Then, she revealed all her cards, wielding the human-shaped sword under the starlight boost of Blazing Bone Lotus and with the aid of a hidden technique. With a single strike, she dismembered the leader of the black-clad men!

This is the key to victory in this battle.

First, it killed the strongest opponent in the first place, and second, it destroyed the core of this team of black-clad men.

Even if the strongest means were to be used, it would still be worthwhile.

Imagine if it wasn't the leader of the black-clad assassins who died at the start. If he had used the crooked path again, would that short black-clad assassin still ignore orders and choose revenge

These people were in sync, bound to spend time together day and night, thus inevitably building a deep bond. Therefore, revenge is certainly an option.

The leader of the black-clothed people, and the female black-clothed person who had temporarily taken over command, their authority in issuing orders was definitely different. The former could possibly eliminate other choices, while the latter found it difficult to do so.

Why did Jiang Wang have to kill the leader of the black-clothed men first

This is the reason.

Therefore, the wicked path once again succeeded, and another fell beneath the sword.

All these events in this battle stemmed from going astray.

In this sudden burst of combat, Qidu shone brightly. Every enemy Jiang Wang faced made terrible battle choices, creating opportunities for him to fight one-on-one and exchange injuries for lives, thus cutting down each of these black-clad men with his sword.

These men in black came specifically for Jiang Wang, they must have made a plan and left some room for maneuver.

>

Jiang Wang if he probes and reveals step by step, will never be able to escape this net. Because his slow reveal means that his opponents can also reveal everything.

Instead, he immediately displayed his peak killing power, fighting to the death, and only then grasped the opportunity for victory.

The net is broken, the fish are still alive. This is the time to return to the river and sea.

The beginning and end of this battle were both fleeting, occurring in a mere instant.

But its difficulty, absolutely wasn't inferior to the experience of being chased by that terrifying woman a few days ago.

The wounds and gruesome gashes on his body right now are testament to that.

His combat performance in this battle was almost perfect, every step he took was the best possible, and yet he sustained these injuries, almost dying on the spot. You can only imagine that if he had made a single misstep, the outcome could have been vastly different!

But is that enough

Just like that female black-clad woman said, "You can't escape."

Of course, Jiang Wang knew this was practically the truth.

The other party could accurately track his movements and assess his strength, dispatching a team of cultivators who, in theory, could completely suppress him. They would strike at the most opportune moment...

This itself is a state of crushing, like a boulder pressing down on an egg. The egg has no chance of survival.

Emotionally, he could afford a bit of release after winning the hard-fought battle.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

But reason told him that the other party couldn't possibly have no backup plan.

Jiang Wang controlled his muscles, first stopping the bleeding, then stepping closer. With his long sword, he pried open the masked face of the slightly shorter man in black. To find out the identities of these people, this one was all that remained, and at least he was left whole.

He was absolutely incapable of passively waiting for his fate, yet he lacked the strength to break free from his prison or strike down the mastermind behind it all. Therefore, escape was his only option.

But don't be blind.

The greater the danger, the more important it is to remain calm. Frantic and aimless flailing only wastes the precious time he has fought so hard to secure. It's best to choose a route of escape only after gathering some information.

These four men in black must have come from the military, being elite soldiers. But to which force they belong is completely different and decides the direction Jiang Wang will flee next.

Beneath the mask, there was a face that wasn't particularly remarkable. It had a narrow forehead and thin face, with a cross-shaped scar on the right side.

Longing gaze shifted downwards, just as he was about to cut open his clothes, Jiang Wang suddenly felt a sense of danger and whirled around with his sword drawn.

Just as they saw the deceased female in black, her headless corpse, a small glass bead leaped out and exploded in mid-air. The white smoke rose, forming a ring of smoke.

In the middle of that ring, where air should have been, a figure suddenly appeared.

There was a cultivator dressed in a Taoist robe of yin and yang, handsome and imposing. The man's eyes were sharp as lightning, and he immediately fixed his gaze on Jiang Wang.

"You are Jiang Wang" he asked.

His voice was indeed warm, but for some reason, it brought a strong sense of pressure.

Jiang Wang looked expressionless and simply asked, "Who are you"

This man said in a low voice, "My name is Zhao Xuanyang."throughout Qingyang Town."Let me remind you all." Zhong Xuan's voice, as if leisurely following along, said, "This is the territory of my dear friend Jiang Qingyang. Whether Jiang Qingyang is guilty o...
