Chapter 1463: Will Not Be Lonely

The distant gloom, with its gale, torrential rain, and thunder,all faded into the backdrop.

Here, the high dome was like an isolated island.Shattered pure lands, scattered golden light, chaotic primal force...Blade intent, sword qi, winds drifting at will.The air still carried the scent of blood, and the power of shattered souls,seeming to wail in the wind.This was the battleground of the dome after repeated clashes.

But this one sword,which could neither be concealed nor hidden,spanned the sky.Like a divine being toppling the pillars that support the heavens,and then using that peak as a sword to slay the firmament.The entire dome battlefield was cleansed.Those crisscrossing fissures in the sky were forcibly flattened.

Body of Celestial Abode, State of Sword Immortal, State of World-Renowned,Blessing of the Star Tower, All Hidden Realms opened...Jiang Wang, in an instant, burned everything.He, in such a state, delivered this single sword stroke,a supreme descent,Who could withstand it?

Dou Zhao's brow twitched. He had anticipated countless possibilities,but Jiang Wang's sword still exceeded his expectations.He had sufficient confidence to contend with Jiang Wangin close quarters.He was also confident that he could suppress this Huang He leaderwith blade techniques surpassing the peak.But he had not expected Jiang Wang to so hastily and recklesslyignite a life-and-death struggle.

It was like a game of xiangqi, still in the initial layout phase,both sides positioning their rooks and horses, advancing cautiously,vying for the advantage of a single soldier.Yet that fellow came up and delivered a check!A pointless, headstrong check, pursued relentlessly.What purpose could it serve other than wasting a moveand exposing one's weaknesses?He was clearly a top-tier expert, yet he played the game of a beginner.This couldn't help but make Dou Zhao feel a sense of absurdity.

But in the next moment, he was startled by the danger.Nothing else, Jiang Wang's sword was too fierce, too strong!Strong enough to brew true killing intent at the most unfavorable timing.Fighting for life is sometimes like chess, but ultimately different from chess.Regardless of the players' skill, in chess, rook against rook, horse against horse,are ultimately equal.But in real combat, even two pawns have distinctions in strength.The power of Jiang Wang's sword had transcended timing.In a meaningless move, it erupted with brilliant light.The killing power of this move was beyond the board itself!

Dou Zhao countered with a horizontal blade almost without thought.This blade was grand and radiant, like a descending deity or Buddha,possessing infinite majesty.Wild punches entering an unguarded gate, all techniques were useless.He had no choice but to meet kill with kill.He could only unleash Five Declines of Heaven and Man!Because in such a hasty situation, none of his blades could be perfect.Other than Five Declines of Heaven and Man, no other techniquecould give him the confidence to withstand this sword.This strongest blade among the Seven Techniques of Combat was, of course,a mark of respect for Jiang Wang.

Blade and sword clashed once more.The center of that boundless splendor was, surprisingly, tranquil.No sound was heard, because everything at the center of the clashhad been completely erased.Sound, shockwaves, even light and shadow.The center where blade and sword collided fell into a wordless fragmentation.Everything was collapsing...Whatever was drawn into it would be instantly torn apart.

Yue Tiannu watched the battle with astonishment. She had never thoughtthat Jiang Wang could fight Dou Zhao to such an extent!

And in the next moment...Dou Zhao retreated!Dou Zhao was continuously forced back!He even spat out a mouthful of fresh blood,containing fragments of internal organs.His Combat Golden Body dimmed by three parts!Had Dou Zhao actually been defeated?

Almost simultaneously with this thought, the Sword Immortalpushing against Dou Zhao's relentless charge,saw the five blazing white light sources on his chest and abdomenextinguish at once!The circulating flowing fire around him lost control and drifted down.His frosty white battle cloak directly dissipated!That neat green robe was stained with filth at some point.Jiang Wang's dark hair, tied up, had become dry.Sticky sweat kept seeping out.His body began to emit a foul odor.His eyes also became dazed.

Jiang Wang's sword, indeed, repelled Dou Zhao and heavily injured him.But Dou Zhao's blade...Severed the Celestial Abode into ordinary Five Abodes.Severed the Immortal into a mortal.He was even decaying, even withering!

Jiang Wang was still crashing against Dou Zhao,but his strength was clearly weakening.His strength was continuously weakening,the fire of his life was constantly declining,he was sinking into the Five Declines, yet he was still pressing Dou Zhaoand charging forward!He had not died, and the momentum of his sword had not ceased.Astonishing will, perfect control!Even proud as Dou Zhao was, he could not stop.He could only retreat again and again.

Back on the Guanhe Platform, Jiang Wang had witnessedthe scene where Five Declines of Heaven and Man clashed withthe Sun, Moon, and Star Three-Wheel Blade of Severing Delusion.At that time, he couldn't help but marvel.Today, experiencing it firsthand, he knew what Chongxuan Zunhad faced back then.

Unlike Chongxuan Zun,by recklessly and hastily initiating a life-and-death struggle,forcing Dou Zhao to meet kill with kill, he had, to some extent,gained a step of initiative.Dou Zhao's Five Declines of Heaven and Man could not be unleashedto its utmost perfection.And he had already undergone two cycles of starlight tempering,at this moment manifesting the Body of Celestial Abode,descending in the State of Sword Immortal, and even wearingthe As-You-Wish Immortal Robe.More importantly, Dou Zhao had not directly struck him.Instead, he used Five Declines of Heaven and Man to clash againsthis Supreme Descent Sword, integrated under the Sword Immortal state.Yet despite so many preconditions...He was still reduced to this state!

Did Dou Zhao have weaknesses?At least fighting up to this point, Jiang Wang had not discovered any.He could only stare fixedly into Dou Zhao's eyes,charging forward with such determination and resolve.As if he absolutely had to try and slay this person before his life was exhausted,no matter how slim the hope.

Dou Zhao felt such will and grinned.From his bleeding lips, there was an arrogant arc."Celestial Abode again!""They all say Celestial Abode is world-shaking, but I see nothing extraordinary!"

Jiang Wang firmly pressed against him, and in the face of the rushing wind,only said: "I find the way you spit blood to be extraordinarily beautiful."

"Hahaha." Dou Zhao's long hair flew wildly, his golden body retreated,his hand on his long blade, he laughed arrogantly:"I'm starting to appreciate you!"

"Is that so?" The light of the Five Divine Abilities shone upon his body,the immense Dao Yuan surged like a tide, and the more his power boiled,the calmer Jiang Wang's voice became:"Words are cheap, how about lending me your head?"

Tian Xiao and Chang Xiang Si pressed against each other,their qi energies clashing wildly.Dou Zhao was pushed further and further away, yet his brilliancewas undimmed: "After the Celestial Abode elder, the simultaneous shiningof the Five Abodes became a legend. If you ask me, it's nothing special!"Starlight gathered for him, and a God-Slaying Blade appeared in the dome."You have innate power. And I am invincible forged by killing!"A large hand formed by starlight grasped this God-Slaying Blade,cleaving across the void!

At this moment, Dou Zhao truly displayed the killing power of his Dao path.Far stronger than his performance when battling Yue Tiannu.That God-Slaying Blade actually cleaved out a technique: Skin Collapse!With the light of the Star Tower, controlling the Seven Techniques of Combat,what a terrifying method is this?Precisely the Dao path of Combat.They all say the Dao path is long and arduous, but Dou Zhao had already enteredthe inner sanctum.

Facing this person, this blade, this Dao.Jiang Wang calmly said: "You seem to have forgotten...The one who shattered the myth of the Celestial Abode on the Guanhe Platformwas me, not you."He was stating a fact.This was a kind of "momentum."The glory forged in the past was not useless, victory after victorypiled up invincible confidence.

He was still immersed in the unfinished momentum of his sword,pressing against Dou Zhao and charging forward.But a wisp of frosty wind was exhaled from his nostrils, drifting out.Buzhou Wind shattered everything, directly meeting that God-Slaying Bladein the high dome. With just a sweep, it carried this God-Slaying Blade away.

Dou Zhao was extremely excited, his eyes filled with fighting intent:"Come! Let us decide life and death!"Starlight like a waterfall condensed again, and the God-Slaying Bladewas once again summoned, held by a hand of starlight.His magnificent martial attire fluttered in the wind.He was issuing such an invitation. Placing life and death aside,seeking only the most brilliant battle.

And Jiang Wang said: "I will surely not disappoint you!"He slightly opened his mouth, wanting to blow the Buzhou Wind.Dou Zhao subconsciously raised his guard.But Jiang Wang suddenly retracted his long sword, his figurealready like a startled swan soaring afar.He also pushed out a burst of Samadhi True Fire with a backhand,directly spreading it into a fire net, blocking behind him."Go!"He shouted loudly.

He fought with gnashing teeth, and left with decisive swiftness.The Mechanical Mahoraga, which had been hovering near the battlefield,held up Yue Tiannu with one hand, its body moved, flying down rapidly.With the other hand, it scooped into the water, pulling out Zuo Guangshu,and in an instant, it flew far away.Yue Tiannu, whose divine soul was injured and pure land shattered,had lost the ability to intervene in the battle, but her vision remained.Of course, she would not drag them down at this time.

Dou Zhao was furious.I am exchanging blows and fighting with you, you want to immediatelydecide life and death with me.When I roll up my sleeves and fight you with blades, you turn around and run.Do you regard this battle as child's play, not putting me, Dou, in your eyes?

Mechanical Mahoraga and Jiang Wang, one after the other, fled quickly.Dou Zhao's golden body shone brightly, disregarding everything,directly shattering the fire net in front of him, and cleaved in mid-air,unleashing Heavenly Punishment!Three fissures in the sky abruptly opened.Jiang Wang walked casually, avoiding them with ease.But this time, from the fissure in the sky to his right, Dou Zhao'sflamboyant figure leaped out, attacking with the force of Heavenly Punishment!

Jiang Wang suddenly turned around, striking down with a palm directly!Buzhou Wind flowed around his fingers, and six life-severing nails,each pointing towards Dou Zhao's wrists, knees, brow, and heart.In the whistling sharp sound, there was undisguised killing intent.What a counter-attack!This was not fleeing at all, but a long-planned killing blow.It was no longer a secret on the Guanhe Platform that Dou Zhao could movewith the Heavenly Punishment technique, so how could Jiang Wang not know?After so many exchanges of blows, how could he not accurately judgethe point where he would choose to appear?

At this critical juncture of life and death, Dou Zhao slightly twisted his blade,and the Skin Collapse blade momentum, which had already formed,suddenly shifted, easily transforming into Divine Nature Extinction!A faint light flowed on the blade's edge, and the Tian Xiao bladecollided with the life-severing nails.Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!Beneath the scattered frosty wind, it was all Dou Zhao's magnificent performance.In the split second, he unleashed five Divine Nature Extinction blades in succession,severing five life-severing nails!But the momentum of his blade had reached its end.Facing the last nail piercing his right knee, he could only retreat,retreating into the fissure in the sky!He did not possess the ability to travel through the void, but merelytransformed into a blade, appearing with the blade force of the Heavenly Punishmentmomentum.Returning now, of course, he returned to his original position.

Looking up again, Jiang Wang had already flown far away.As for the Mechanical Mahoraga, it was needless to say,only a black dot remained.

How could Dou Zhao be willing to give up?He still cleaved out a Heavenly Punishment blade, but this time,the fissure in the sky was not aimed at Jiang Wang, but wasa distance away from him.He only used this technique to travel, no longer hoping that this bladecould affect Jiang Wang.He had also understood, at that moment, the feeling of Qin Zhizhenon the Guanhe Platform.

But the unexpected happened again.When Dou Zhao's brilliant figure leaped out from the fissure in the sky,his blade aimed forward, what he saw was not Jiang Wang'smadly fleeing back.Azure cloud imprints shattered in the air, Jiang Wangwas actually rushing towards him with terrifying speed.He actually came to fight to the death!His face was pale, his hair withered, his clothes stained, his body foul-smelling...But his eyes could still show how clean a person he was!Those clear eyes instantly turned, becoming reddish-gold.A pair of golden eyes burned with crimson flames.The Single Rider Charging into Formation Diagram was directly unfurled,his divine soul descended westward, rushing towards Dou Zhao's Tongtian Palace.A great sun roared and smashed down, the entire divine soul leveldarkened, terrifying the heart, like the end of the world descending.

Dou Zhao, manifested in the divine soul realm, merely glanced up.Then he raised his blade.His long blade cleaved down diagonally.His body and soul performed the same movement.His appearance seemed slightly aged, his divine soul seemed slightly withered.Body and soul withered by themselves, and then struck the enemy.This blade, Body and Soul Decay, specifically kills divine souls!The great sun in the divine soul realm was split in half,and the Single Rider Charging into Formation Diagram was directly cleaved open.And Jiang Wang's divine soul manifestation had already withdrawnas soon as Dou Zhao raised his blade.

Dou Zhao's Body and Soul Decay would naturally not rush into Jiang Wang'sTongtian Palace, his blade momentum changed again, a direct thrust,hitting the center gate.This was Severing Nature to See the Self!The blade of Severing Nature to See the Self is a top-tier killing technique,a supreme intent blade.It does not attack the divine soul, but the will.Once the will is severed, killing the body and soul can be done at will.It is certainly not just a blade of self-examination, nor just "seeing the self."Rather, it is to cleave open the disguise, and see the self hidden beneathlayers of protection.To sever all natures, and see the most real, most naked, and alsomost vulnerable "self."And then erase it with a single blade.In everyone's heart, there is a child crying with knees hugged.This blade had caused Gan Chang'an to collapse, and Yue Tiannu to be dazed.This blade cleaved towards Jiang Wang.On the level of will, it was as if it struck a reddish-gold heart.Sparks flew, yet this heart remained firm.Severing Nature to See the Self, I am Jiang Wang!My heart is bright, what more is there to say!

Jiang Wang outside his body looked directly at Dou Zhao.A fire net woven from Samadhi True Fire, rather perfunctorily and casually,spread over Dou Zhao's body.Like a casual supplementary move.At the same time, his long sword thrust forward, erupting with killing intent,cleaving out the Human Character Sword.However you looked at it, that fire net was merely an appendage.However you looked at it, this increasingly complete and full of charmHuman Character Sword was the killing move.Moreover, he had already seen his Samadhi True Fire on the Guanhe Platform,it was by no means weak, but it was not enough to threaten him.Earlier, he had even directly shattered a fire net.At this time, this fire net looked no different from the previous one,what was there to fear?

Dou Zhao should have focused his attention on dealing with that sword.And he indeed did so.But as soon as he raised his long blade, a warning sign suddenly arose in his heart.How could Jiang Qingyang, who could fight him to such an extent,make useless moves in battle?A sudden intuition arose in Dou Zhao's heart—The first fire net shattered earlier was a deception, merely to coverthe success of the current fire net. The true killing power of this divine abilitywas likely hidden in this second fire net!

Dou Zhao didn't even bother to receive the sword, and without hesitation,retreated a step back into the fissure in the sky, returning to his original positiononce again.And looking up again, that blazing fire net, that heaven-reachingsword technique, had all disappeared...Where was Jiang Wang's figure?

Two consecutive pursuits, and two consecutive forced returns.Clearly having the overall advantage in strength, yet still letting the person escape.Even until this moment, he couldn't be sure whether the fire netJiang Wang finally spread out had the ability to kill him.That might be a long-standing mystery, one that only the next timehe met Jiang Wang could solve.

Dou Zhao, instead of being angry, laughed: "Interesting! Too interesting!"He even laughed heartily, his voice shaking the clouds and mist in the high dome:"This trip was not in vain!"
