Myth Beyond Heaven

"Hah!" Chi Xiong stomped on the ground and dashed toward Yang Chen with full force. His speed was surprisingly high despite the fact he was wielding a few hundred kilograms broadsword.

Yang Chen drew his sword close to his chest, and his aura suddenly expanded explosively along with a burst of crimson flame coming out of his body. A split second later, Yang Chen abruptly ran forward to face Chi Xiong head-on, and he sent a fierce flame slash crashing forward.

Chi Xiong's eyes narrowed as he perceived the lethality within the incoming slash. Instead of taking a defensive stance, Chi Xiong swiftly swung his broadsword down at Yang Chen. His swing carried an incomparably tyrannical power, cutting through the air and slamming down on Yang Chen's sword.

Boom!

An immense explosion ripped through the air, sending Yang Chen to fly away several meters before landing safely. His expression turned grimed as his right hand completely lost all sensation. 

At this moment, Yang Chen was certain Chi Xiong was a body practitioner. He could see the latter's last attack mostly came from his brute strength. By enhancing it with profound energy, his power would be easily doubled. There was no way Yang Chen could compete with his head-on further.

"It seems your injuries haven't recovered yet. What a pity. I'd like your true power before sending you on the road." Chi Xiong waved his broadsword to shake the trace of crimson flame off while grinning at Yang Chen.

Because his injuries were mainly on his soul, Yang Chen simply could not use his spiritual sword intent. Let alone his ultimate move, Blazing Sun Spiritual Sword. This left him with some ordinary means, and they were obviously not enough to defeat Chi Xiong.

If it was Yun Lintian, he would definitely choose to run in this situation. After all, there was no trump card left to play. However, Yang Chen was different. As someone possessed Sun Overlord Profound Vein, his pride did not allow him to turn away from the battle, even if it meant his life would be over.

"You are strong." Yang Chen said sincerely. He took a deep breath, drew his sword to his front, and continued. "However, it is not enough to kill me."

All of a sudden, the surrounding temperature rose sharply. Countless flame sparks appeared in the air, turning the surrounding area into crimson. Every grass and tree nearby was instantly ignited, transforming into torches.

At the same time, Yang Chen's Spiritual Sense quickly spread out like a sharp sword storm, surrounding Chi Xiong as well as his retreat routes. His gaze firmly locked on his opponent as he uttered. "Blazing Sun Spiritual Sword!"

"Spiritual Sword Intent?" Chi Xiong's complexion turned serious for the first time. 

Before coming here, he had carefully studied everyone around Yun Lintian. According to the information he got, Yang Chen was a talented sword practitioner, but no one knew which realm he had achieved. In his opinion, no matter how talented Yang Chen was, it was impossible for him to reach the Spiritual realm. After all, he was only eighteen years old.

Wrong! Everyone had guessed it wrong! These words echoed in Chi Xiong's mind. He hastily gripped his broadsword and rushed toward Yang Chen at full speed. All the muscles were bulged up. His entire body seemed to transform into a giant bear, releasing a brutal aura.

Yang Chen seemed to expect this move from Chi Xiong beforehand. His mind immediately moved, and the flame sparks nearby him suddenly condensed into a terrifying flame sword, storming toward Chi Xiong.

The flying flame swords were highly flexible. No matter how Chi Xiong tried to sweep them out with his sword, they nimbly avoided his swing then and there. This caused Chi Xiong to frustrate.

Puff! Puff!

Yang Chen's spiritual flame swords managed to cut Chi Xiong's flesh from time to time. Before Chi Xiong could reach Yang Chen's position, his body was already soaked in blood.

"Die!" Chi Xiong's face turned hideous as he swung his broadsword down on Yang Chen's head.

Boom!

Crimson light suddenly emerged on Yang Chen's eyes. His figure blurred slightly and vanished from the spot, causing Chi Xiong's attack to miss the target. 

Yang Chen's figure reappeared in the distance, far away from Chi Xiong. His face was pale as a white sheet, and blood could be seen flowing out of his nose. This was the result of mental power overdrawn.

Yang Chen knew he could not last long, and he had to finish Chi Xiong as soon as possible. Instantaneously, he commanded all the spiritual flame swords in this area to form into a sword rain, madly bombarding Chi Xiong.

Puff! Puff!

Chi Xiong tried his best to avoid the rain of flame swords, but it seemed impossible. One after another, the flame swords ruthlessly pierced into his body and constantly burned him. Even if Chi Xiong's body was incomparably sturdy, he couldn't help scream painfully, facing this lethal attack.

"Argh!" Chi Xiong's current appearance was miserable beyond words. His body had already turned into a human torch, with the crimson flame burning vigorously.

Seeing this scene, Yang Chen didn't feel at ease. He didn't dare to underestimate Chi Xiong in the slightest. He gritted his teeth and kept controlling the flame swords to attack Chi Xiong, aiming to finish him.

"Ugh!" Unfortunately, Yang Chen's injuries were suddenly acted up at this critical moment. He coughed out fresh blood, and his mind began to blur.

This sudden change gave Chi Xiong a chance to recover. He roared furiously as he stomped on the ground before charging at Yang Chen with murderous intent.

Yang Chen shook his head vigorously, trying to regain the clarity, but his injuries were too severe. He was unable to focus properly. His consciousness started to fade into darkness. 

Am I going to die here? This question popped up in Yang Chen's mind along with Yang Mengli, and Hua Wanru's silhouettes emerged in the depth of his soul.

A savage grin appeared on Chi Xiong's face when he noticed Yang Chen's condition. His confidence soared to the sky, boosting his speed further.

Rumble—

All of a sudden, the entire forest abruptly shook, and the tree walls began to move, changing their pattern…
