Chapter 808: The Sword Saint’s Defeat

A forceful upgraded version of the Sky Shattering Charge rushed at the Sword Saint, quick as lightning, catching him completely off guard.

Just as the Sword Saint took flight, he found himself on the receiving end of a fierce assault from Lin Nuo.

This move had previously driven him back, breaking his multiple sword intents, but it hadn’t caused him any injury back then.

Now, it was coming at him again, and the distance was much closer than before.

With a loud BANG!, the Sword Saint was hit harder than ever before.

His body’s spiritual power shield was activated, a defensive mechanism that kicks in during emergencies.

However, Lin Nuo’s Sky Shattering Charge was no joke; it had absolute advantage in the air, while its effectiveness against the ground wasn’t as strong. This strike shattered the Sword Saint’s spiritual power shield.

Not only did it break his defense, but it also caused him injury.

It had been a long time since he had felt such damage, meaning he hadn’t faced an equally matched opponent in quite a while.

Though he took some hits, he could heal himself naturally.

Channeling his spirit power, he began to recover.

But Lin Nuo was a relentless pursuer; how could he let him have the time to recover? He pressed on, unleashing more attacks.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Lin Nuo clenched his fists, striking upwards, unleashing wave after wave of Sky Shattering Charges at the Sword Saint, who had no time to even catch his breath as he kept getting hit.

How could he let him breathe?

Lin Nuo sent forth a massive barrage of punches, creating a sound in the air that resembled “Wood da, wood da!”

From afar, Liu Shuqin could see Lin Nuo gaining the upper hand, completely suppressing the Sword Saint.

What a husband! Even able to injure the formidable Sword Saint!

A strong one, a top-tier strong one.

Liu Shuqin covered one side of her face, gazing dreamily at Lin Nuo.

His punching style was simply too handsome.

But the Sword Saint was still the Sword Saint; he wasn’t some random weakling, able to withstand Lin Nuo’s Sky Shattering Charge.

Now, he needed to find a way to counterattack.

Heaven Sword.

In an instant, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body, gathering above him and transforming into a sharp sword. It came crashing down from the sky, growing massive in size, reminiscent of a wall of defense that blocked Lin Nuo’s Sky Shattering Charge.

CRASH!

It broke through the massive sword, but this also gave the Sword Saint a moment to breathe as he fell from the air.

He held his chest, resting because Lin Nuo’s previous Sky Shattering Charge had been quite substantial; he needed to recover.

The increase in Lin Nuo’s power was truly beyond his expectations, as it had been a long time since he encountered such a worthy opponent.

Pretty good.

Seeing the Sword Saint fall, clutching his chest, Lin Nuo figured he was injured and couldn’t let him recover.

Onwards, charge!

He drew his sword and charged towards the Sword Saint, splitting himself into numerous shadows in an attempt to confuse him.

The Sword Saint was recuperating and couldn’t discern the real from the fake.

If he got too close, it would be dangerous.

But on the ground, he had his own tricks.

He thrust his Spirit Sword into the ground, and in an instant, a circle formed around him, with light swords shooting up from the earth.

Holy Light Protection Domain.

Seeing the light swords emerge, Lin Nuo halted his charge and retreated from the area of the light swords.

The Holy Light Protection Domain was a sword formation targeting demon practitioners; if the sword master wasn’t quickly overwhelmed, it could be quite dangerous once the formation was established.

The Sword Saint could withstand it; it wouldn’t kill him right away.

But retreating was fine, no big deal.

Lin Nuo moved away, keeping his distance from the Holy Light Protection Domain, watching as the light swords rose from the ground, forming a radiant sword formation centered on the Sword Saint.

With the Holy Light Protection Domain in place, the Sword Saint had time to recover, and his injuries could heal quickly.

Still, the pain remained; Lin Nuo’s Sky Shattering Charge was no joke.

“Quite a few tricks you have, but I know you haven’t shown all your cards yet.”

Lin Nuo shook his head casually.

“You’re quite strong now, and you seem very familiar with my moves.”

The Sword Saint responded, as spiritual light shone all around him, rising to his feet, his body showing no significant damage.

“The famed Sword Saint knowing my moves is quite normal, isn’t it?”

Lin Nuo shrugged, his outward words complimenting but secretly mocking him.

Oh, you great Sword Saint, isn’t it delightful to be down on your luck?

After all, I’m a reborn person; I know your moves inside and out. If I hadn’t just jumped into this battle and double-cultivated with Liu Shuqin, I would’ve had you six feet under!

Now the light swords rising from the ground began to take flight, expanding their range. Upon seeing this, Lin Nuo stepped back, avoiding entering their area.

The Holy Light Protection Domain lasted for a while; the surrounding light swords shifted from defense to offense, soaring high and then crashing down.

The Sword Saint attempted to make those light swords enter the ground and form a new Holy Light Protection Domain to trap Lin Nuo. But Lin Nuo wouldn’t let him get away with that.

Seizing that moment while he controlled the light swords was the perfect time for a surprise attack.

Charge!

The Sword Saint anticipated this wave of attack as they would directly face off without any flashy multiple sword intents. They each held one sword, ready for a straight fight.

Slash!

Both swung their sharp swords, calling forth their sword souls.

The Sword Saint summoned a resplendent golden eagle soul, while Lin Nuo brought forth a cerulean dragon soul.

BOOM!

The clash of their souls shook the land like an earthquake, producing tremendous roars and swirling dust, turning the previously peaceful wilderness into a wasteland in an instant.

Both retreated instinctively; the explosive force from their sword souls was massive.

Lin Nuo couldn’t help but admire his own sword; its sword soul was capable of directly matching the Sword Saint.

Pretty impressive.

After retreating, Lin Nuo didn’t run or attack, waiting for the Sword Saint to make his move. This guy had plenty of tricks; it wouldn’t be easy to defeat him in one go.

“You can leave now.”

The Sword Saint recalled the nearby light swords, all retreating back to his side.

After their battle, he felt quite satisfied, as he finally met a worthy opponent after such a long time.

“We’re not leaving; you should be the one to go.”

Lin Nuo waved at him, speaking as if he were offering him an exit, but they could continue fighting if necessary.

The power gap was still a bit significant; he couldn’t outright kill the Sword Saint. But in terms of technique, Lin Nuo held the upper hand, and now it was just a matter of waiting for his strength to increase.

The Sword Saint didn’t reply; he merely glanced at Lin Nuo before turning to leave.

Then, using his practiced agility, he gracefully departed from the site, leaving behind a scene of destruction where the original beings had been annihilated.

Lin Nuo also sheathed his sword; as long as this Sword Saint lived, trouble would undoubtedly follow.

What this person was thinking, Lin Nuo wasn’t sure and couldn’t be bothered to speculate. He would undoubtedly kill him in the future.

“Husband.”

Seeing the battle end, Liu Shuqin walked over lightly, throwing herself into his arms.

“Husband, your clothes are torn.”

“It’s nothing.”

“Let’s head back; I’ll patch them up. You’ve worked hard, rest well, and I’ll serve you delicious food.”

Liu Shuqin smiled.
