I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Jian frowned and asked Huang Quan with some surprise, "Are you sure?"

“I’m quite certain. After all, you’re also a member of the Emperor Sword Clan, so we still have to fight this match. And I hope you can give it your all, so that… I’ll feel a little better,” Huang Quan said calmly.

"Oh? Heh! What arrogance! It seems you really think you can win?" Zhang Jian said, his eyes narrowing and his tone suddenly turning cold.

"Of course, you have to have confidence in yourself," Huang Quan said with a smile.

"Fine! Then let me see if your confidence really will allow you to defeat me!" With a chilling aura, Zhang Jian had lost his patience.

In the next instant, he moved, and with a wave of his right hand, a long sword accompanied by thunderous sounds appeared in his right hand. Near the hilt of the sword, there were two large characters engraved on the blade: "Rhythmic Thunder".

Zhang Jian, wielding his longsword and crackling with lightning, launched a simple yet powerful attack at Huang Quan.

"You really gave Lei Jianyun Lei to him, how generous!" Zhu Yongri, who was in the Qingge Pavilion, looked at the long sword and said, seemingly a little surprised but also reasonable.

“What do you mean by generous or not! I taught him thunder magic, so the thunder magic naturally belongs to him,” Zhang Shen said softly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Hehehe! That's right." Takenaga chuckled, then said no more.

……

Looking at the platform again, seeing Yun Lei rushing over, Huang Quan only frowned slightly. He did not show weakness and with a flick of his left hand, he also took out a black greatsword.

This greatsword is not the Great Evil Sword, but a mid-grade spiritual weapon called Cold Tears. Although Cold Tears is far inferior to the ultimate spiritual weapon Rhythm Thunder in terms of grade, it is not weak.

In an instant, Huang Quan swung his sword, and a collision sound suddenly rang out. The two swords made intimate contact, and with the thunderous sword rolling, Huang Quan finally managed to block Zhang Jian's sword momentum.

"You're really impatient, aren't you?" Huang Quan said softly, his tone seemingly unconcerned about Zhang Jian's attack.

"Heh!!" Zhang Jian ignored Huang Quan's words, sneered, and with his right hand, he slashed again without pause, forcing Huang Quan's body back to the outer edge of the platform.

"call!!!"

The powerful force made Huang Quan's hands go numb. The difference in strength was evident in this first exchange. He took a deep breath, waved his hand, and dispelled the numbness.

Zhang Jian gave Huang Quan no chance to breathe. In an instant, the tip of his sword pointed to the sky, and a silver ball of lightning, carrying the profound power of lightning, instantly gathered on the tip of the sword.

Seeing this, Huang Quan sensed the violent power of the lightning ball. His expression turned solemn, and his greatsword also pointed to the sky. Gray Xuan energy flowed, and a gray sphere, similar in size to the silver lightning ball, gathered together. This was a sword strike that concentrated his Xuan energy...

"Take this!" Zhang Jian's deep voice resounded, and at the same time, he swung his right hand forcefully towards Huang Quan's location. The silver lightning ball on the tip of the longsword also rushed towards Huang Quan with this swing.

Just as the entire silver lightning sphere entered Huang Quan's eyes, he suddenly shouted, and the gray sphere instantly expanded to about twice its original size. The profound energy inside also became extremely bright, like a burning sun.

From this perspective, Huang Quan's attack this time must have used his full power in terms of profound energy.

At this moment, the gray sphere, now doubled in size, swiftly left the tip of Leng Lei's sword and charged towards the silver lightning sphere.

In less than a breath, the two made contact, but their spheres merged together, reforming into a huge gray and silver sphere.

However, the sphere was like a balloon that had reached its limit, constantly expanding. Finally, with a loud bang, a powerful aftershock swept in all directions, leaving the platform in a complete mess once again.

As the dust settled and everything calmed down, the two people standing on the stage gradually came into view.

However, while one person was sweating profusely, panting heavily, and looking somewhat exhausted, the other remained calm!

"It's not about size that guarantees victory..." Zhang Jian said softly, looking at the exhausted Huang Quan.

At this moment, Huang Quan was kneeling on one knee, his greatsword Cold Tears tightly gripped in his left hand and stuck into the ground, seemingly to support his body... He did indeed look quite disheveled.

"With your strength, it's impossible for you to defeat me." Zhang Jian's disdainful gaze fell on Huang Quan, and he chuckled lightly.

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's voice, Huang Quan didn't reply immediately. He simply took a few deep breaths, then stood up, pointed his sword at Zhang Jian, and his voice slowly spread out: "The final outcome isn't something you can decide right now..."

"Hmph! Fine!" Upon hearing Huang Quan's words, Zhang Jian sneered again and launched another attack.

However, this attack seemed slightly different from the previous ones, because the Xuan power wrapped around this Yunlei Sword was more than ten times stronger than the previous one, and lightning and thunder flashed everywhere, making it exceptionally dazzling.

Judging from this, Zhang Jian's attack this time was the real attack. Just like his first sword strike, he made no unnecessary movements and went straight for Huang Quan.

He wanted to use absolute power to make Huang Quan feel despair; what a ruthless scheme!

Seeing Zhang Jian attacking at close range again with such powerful Xuan energy, Huang Quan gritted his teeth and revealed a resolute look. Suddenly, his right hand swung the greatsword Leng Lei with almost all of his Xuan energy to meet Yun Lei once more!

The sound of clashing weapons instantly reached their ears, but just as the two were locked in a brute-force confrontation, Zhang Jian suddenly let out a strange, cold laugh...

"Ah……"

"Not good!" Huang Quan was startled when he saw this, but by the time he realized something was wrong and prepared to withdraw his power, it seemed to be too late.

Crack... Crack, Boom!

Suddenly, a cracking sound resounded throughout the entire arena... In an instant, fragments of a sword seemed to gradually scatter from the stage, falling into everyone's sight.

Cold tears... stopped!

Its fragments, however, fell directly onto Huang Quan's body like raindrops.

"What?" Huang Quan's eyes widened sharply, his disbelief undisguised.

Fragments of cold tears drifted in the air, and in the brief moment they fell to the ground, they reflected Huang Quan's surprised and bewildered face, as well as Zhang Jian's calm and indifferent expression.

"Ah!"

Zhang Jian sneered, and before Huang Quan could react, he swiftly kicked Huang Quan in the abdomen. The powerful impact sent Huang Quan flying like a kite with a broken string. Because of the extreme force of the kick, Huang Quan spat out a mouthful of blood...

Huang Quan fell to the ground, his face showing difficulty. He gritted his teeth slightly, looked at the broken sword in his hand, and tried to stand up. However, he found that the wound on his lower abdomen, from his left waist to his right, had been cut by the force of the cold tears' shards.

But Huang Quan didn't think too much about it. With sheer willpower, he forced himself to stand up, waved his hand, and immediately withdrew the remaining half of his cold tears.

At the same time, he took out a greatsword that also looked to be of high quality, seemingly to support his injured body.

"Hmph! No matter how many swords you have, if I launch another attack like that... you... are doomed to lose!!!"

Looking at Huang Quan's disheveled appearance, Zhang Jian also felt a particularly unpleasant feeling in his heart.

However, he could only suppress this feeling now, because it was something he had promised... to Huang Quan.

"Ah!"

Just then, Huang Quan's cold laugh suddenly reached Zhang Jian's ears, causing the latter's heart to stir slightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Jian frowned slightly, asking in confusion. But beyond his doubts, he simply didn't believe Huang Quan could still be laughing at this point...

"Could he have some backup plan? No, impossible. If he did, he would have used it long ago... Why would he save it for now?" After this thought, Zhang Jian had already labeled Huang Quan as a bluffer.

"You must be wondering what my backup plan is, right?" Just as Zhang Jian was pondering, Huang Quan's voice reached Zhang Jian's ears again, unhurriedly.

"Hmph! No matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, you're going to lose, that's for sure..." At that moment, Zhang Jian's figure moved along with his words.

The Rhythm Thunder in his hand, mixed with the power of lightning, looked like a slender silver dragon, rapidly attacking Huang Quan's body.

He wanted to use this move to end the fight.

"Is that so?" Huang Quan murmured softly, his left hand gripping the unknown greatsword tightly.

"Since that's how it is, I'll show you what the final result will be. You cut off my cold tears, I'll cut off your thunderous roar..."

Huang Quan's icy voice echoed out, extremely jarring... His eyes narrowed into slits at this moment, and the chill in them was even more extreme.

"Hmph! Then let me see if you have the ability!" Zhang Jian sneered, and fiercely thrust his sword towards Huang Quan's heart.

On the surface, it appears that he intended to harm Huang Quan.

"It's not that easy." Huang Quan clearly saw the danger of Zhang Jian's sword strike and felt a little heavy-hearted. But just as Huang Quan thought, it really wasn't that simple.

At that very moment, just as the Thunderclap Sword was about to reach Huang Quan's chest, Huang Quan's figure mysteriously vanished.

This caused Zhang Jian's attack to miss completely, much to his own surprise.

But the moment Huang Quan reappeared, he was already behind Zhang Jian.

This is teleportation.

In that instant, Huang Quan decisively used teleportation, forcibly moving his body forward a small portion.

But this was not the end. Huang Quan's eyes flashed coldly as he concentrated the remaining Xuan power onto the greatsword and then decisively thrust it towards Zhang Jian's back.

"What?!" Zhang Jian was genuinely startled when he felt the chilling sword energy on his back. It felt like he had no chance to dodge it in such a short time.

Surprise did not mean he was not calm. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, and silver Xuan power flowed throughout his body, covering his entire body in the blink of an eye and forming a silver object resembling a cocoon.

There was no suspense; Huang Quan's sword did indeed make close contact with the silver cocoon-shaped object, and the cocoon seemed about to shatter after being struck by Huang Quan.

But the next moment, Huang Quan frowned amidst the attack, because he suddenly realized that this cocoon was not something he could easily break.

"Hmm?" Huang Quan murmured softly, a hint of surprise in his heart. But at that moment, the silver cocoon suddenly emitted a strong silver light, directly stimulating Huang Quan's eyes and causing him a stinging sensation.

Having no other choice, Huang Quan quickly sheathed his sword, retreated, and stopped about twenty meters away from the cocoon. He chose to observe the situation quietly.

When the silver light disappeared, Zhang Jian's body reappeared. Some lightning still flickered on his body, but his expression was pale, and he seemed to be struggling to breathe; it seemed his previous attack hadn't been very effective.

Even so, Huang Quan still felt it was an opportunity that he had to seize, while Zhang Jian was still somewhat disoriented. He should launch another offensive.

Huang Quan has always been good at seizing opportunities. Once he has an idea or creates one, he immediately takes action. He grips the greatsword tightly with both hands and desperately concentrates his Xuan power into it. Before long, a layer of black Xuan power membrane covers the surface of the greatsword.

"Not enough! Still not enough!"

Huang Quan roared with rage as he looked at his greatsword. At that moment, his eyes flashed with madness. With a determined heart, evil energy surged rapidly within his body and slowly merged into the greatsword. It seemed that he was trying his best to unleash this attack!

"This guy? He's actually quite impressive." Zhang Jian was startled when he sensed the profound energy within the greatsword.

But the current situation didn't allow him to think about that much, so Zhang Jian quickly concentrated a large portion of his profound energy on the rhyme thunder, as if he wanted to use the power of the rhyme thunder to block this attack.

"It's my turn!"

"what?"

Just as Zhang Jian finished gathering his profound energy, Huang Quan's attack began. Huang Quan's figure moved like a giant dragon, roaring towards Zhang Jian with an extremely strange power.

There's nothing else to it; the two sides are only twenty meters apart. With Huang Quan's instantaneous movement, he could definitely reach them.

All of this happened extremely quickly, and before Zhang Jian could react, the weapons of both sides began to clash for the third time.

But then, a miracle happened.

Under this absolute power, one of the swords, unable to withstand the pressure of this level of force, instantly turned into powder and merged with the air before everyone's incredulous eyes.

And it seems to break even more completely than cold tears...

"What?!" Zhang Jian stared in astonishment at Yun Lei, whose only part remained was the hilt of the knife.

But after a moment, he stopped thinking about it and suddenly retreated to the edge of the platform. He turned his gaze to Huang Quan, his eyes filled with a gloomy look.

Of course, Huang Quan himself was also not in good shape. Although this move did indeed strike Zhang Jian, it could also be said that he used all his strength.

"I said I would break your sword..." Huang Quan said coldly, ignoring Zhang Jian's gaze.

"Tch!" Zhang Jian snorted coldly, casually tossing the broken Yun Lei aside. His expression didn't seem to care much about the broken Yun Lei, because he actually preferred another weapon to this one.
