Chapter 945: Chapter 945

Originally, Pei Niannu once said that when simultaneously wielding the Water and Fire Two Gods, there would be a difference.

At this moment, the two forces of water and fire separately pulled away from the armor and seal, converging into two small figures of water and fire.

The small water and fire figures hopped along Zhao Douan’s arm, embracing the blade of the Chasing Saber.

"Sizzle... Sizzle..."

A crimson flame enveloped the blade, followed by a sapphire ice stream that greatly amplified the power of this saber strike.

The sound of ocean waves echoed in Zhao Douan’s ears, recalling the Martial God Map where Xu cleaved the sea with a sword on the East Sea Green Mountain.

A saber is a single-edged sword, a sword is a double-edged saber.

There is essentially no difference between the two.

Zhao Douan struck out with the Chasing Saber, murmuring, "Sky Opening!"

The entire painting began to ripple, with Zhao Shixiong abruptly turning around in the center of the long street, his gaze locked onto Zhao Douan, his face showing seriousness for the first time. He raised the Guan Saber horizontally, Hundred-refined Gang Qi swept like a gale, laughing heartily, "Well done!"

High above, a gigantic illusory Sword Energy descended like a thousand-foot cascading waterfall, tons of seawater crashing down.

The gale swept, and the massive explosion destroyed nearby residential buildings, causing the entire illusion realm to tremble precariously. At Zhao Shixiong’s standing point, due to the forces of water and fire, it first burst forth with blinding flashes and then emerged a cluster of white steam.

Rising like a small mushroom cloud.

Zhao Douan’s one saber strike nearly drained his Qi Sea instantly, Pei Niannu couldn’t sustain the descent and vanished, reverting him to his original form.

"Can he be killed? At least severely wounded?" Zhao Douan nearly stumbled, struggling to stand on the rooftop, anxiously surveying the gradually dispersing steam cloud in the distance.

A still silence, only the wind whimpering in his ears.

Within the thinning steam, a figure, though small, appeared extremely tall for some reason, standing with a saber.

"No wonder heroes emerge from youth, to achieve this in merely two to three months in the world, to break my Hundred-refined Gang Qi, you should be proud."

Zhao Shixiong’s full voice echoed on the long street.

Zhao Douan’s expression changed slightly, his heart sank abruptly!

Zhao Shixiong maintained his standing position with both legs, leaning on a wide-bladed Guan Saber that towered over himself with a single hand.

His densely bearded face grimacing, showing a set of stark white teeth, eyes fixed on Zhao Douan atop the rooftop with a smile.

The loose robe on his body was torn open at the front, revealing a muscular and bronze chest.

At this moment, on that stone-hard chest, a shallow bloodline remained, a wound made by Zhao Douan’s full-force strike.

Even more striking was the faint, crimson "Killing Aura" enveloping Zhao Shixiong’s body.

Zhao Douan knew that military generals have a habit of honing their own blood energy, merging with the Qi Mechanism, although few can achieve this.

Much like how the Great Yu Ancestor Emperor had once refined his Qi Mechanism into "Cold Frost True Qi" on the snowy plains.

Zhao Shixiong is documented in the court’s records to have accomplished this early in his life and named it "Crimson Killing Aura."

At this moment, the crimson Killing Aura surrounding Zhao Shixiong enveloped him, rising like wolf smoke, as towering as pillars, like cooking smoke!

The ascending pale red column of Qi soared into the sky, even dyeing the moonlight in the illusion realm red.

"Since this is all you have, it’s time to end this." Zhao Shixiong said, stepping forward with his right foot under the Killing Aura.

The heavy Guan Saber in his hand rose once again.

A strong sense of imminent danger surged through Zhao Douan, unable to think, he immediately escaped from the illusion realm!

As he departed with his leading foot, his following foot saw a streak of red Sword Energy slicing through the night sky, and the rooftop he stood upon was instantly cut open and fell.

The sky constructed by the painting also split open with a red fissure, like a fierce scar, unable to heal for long. The painting was torn apart.

In the reality of the long street, Zhao Douan and Zhao Shixiong remained in their original positions, a hundred steps apart.

Zhao Douan’s eyes snapped open, without hesitation, he turned and fled toward the street behind him.

The rebel army suddenly parted, and a tall, fair-skinned woman with a graceful figure emerged, wielding a longsword with colorful ribbons at the end.

Zhao Douan’s expression changed slightly, his boots scraping against the stone, Chasing Saber raised horizontally, recognizing the newcomer.

Gongsun silently thrust her sword, while Zhao Shixiong also "awoke" behind her, stepping forcefully forward.

On both sides, the large groups of rebel army surged like tides. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel※fire.net

Surrounded by wolves and tigers.

Zhao Douan sighed, a golden painted lilac flower appeared on his cheek with each breath, swiftly fading, his body transformed into a blue smoke under countless eyes, disappearing!

"Did he escape?!" Gongsun swung her sword at empty air, peaks trembling, startled and furious, teeth clenched, "It’s a teleportation spell, this court dog is indeed difficult to kill!"

At this moment, with his robes torn open and enveloped in crimson Killing Aura, Zhao Shixiong walked forward, calm: "He won’t get away."

As he spoke, he raised the longsword again, and the darkened hilt bore twisted talisman-like patterns glowing, the broad blade reflecting large swathes of red light, enveloping the vicinity.

Within the red light, the silhouette of Zhao Douan standing with saber gradually outlined.

The Divine Weapon Zhao Shixiong wielded can reveal scenes from a place where an event happened not long ago.

But few know that this weapon, named "Soul-breaking Blade," has another ability: any Divine Soul that is tainted by the Sword Energy, within a certain range, can be forcibly retracted and severed!
