"Snatch the token!"
Bu Fangu shouted to the commander of the Youlang Cavalry beside him. He then extended his palm, and a long sword materialized instantly.
"Clang!"
As the sword was drawn, several sword energies enveloped Bu Fangu. The remaining sword energies shot directly towards the golden token.
"Guan Yu, Yue Yun!"
Meng Tian immediately roared, and then directly pursued Long Yuan Shengzi. At the same time, Yue Yun, wielding two massive hammers, shattered the blockade of the Youlang Cavalry commander effortlessly. Another hammer then descended furiously, smashing heavily towards the Youlang Cavalry commander. The very void of the main tomb chamber cracked open, and the terrifying explosive force pulverized many medicinal pills.
"Boom!"
The black divine radiance shattered, and the long saber in the Youlang Cavalry commander's hand instantly broke apart. He was sent flying backward, smashing through several unknown divine trees supporting the great hall. He collapsed onto the ground, his fate unknown.
"Bu Fangu, how dare you try to snatch the token in front of me! You are courting death!"
"Take this saber strike!"
With the Youlang Cavalry commander's fate uncertain, Guan Yu, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, slashed diagonally at Bu Fangu. With a roar, a green saber light, ignited by layers of Nánmíng divine fire, instantly incinerated the hall. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, the destroyed hall, less than a breath later, even at the moment of its annihilation, regenerated.
Even so, the diagonally slashing saber energy, brilliant and vibrant green, completely enveloped the entire hall.
"Roar!!"
The saber energy, which had only traveled about ten feet, instantly transformed into a green dragon. On either side of the dragon, phoenix wings, burning with Nánmíng divine fire, flashed, carrying immense saber intent as it charged forward!
Bu Fangu, whose eyes were solely on the token, felt a sudden chill and was instantly jolted awake. To his left, an aura of saber intent that threatened his life was rapidly closing in. A divine sense probed outward, and he immediately detected who had attacked!
"Boom boom!"
The azure saber light struck instantly, shattering the sword energies surrounding him and shaking his hand so hard that his long sword was knocked from his grasp, causing his tiger's mouth to bleed profusely!
"Guan Yu!!"
"A mere Saint dares to attack this King? I shall take your life, and this token shall be mine as well!"
"Behold my sword!!"
Bu Fangu twirled his long sword, unleashing a cascade of sword energies. Ferocious Jiaolong dragons materialized, their roars accompanying unparalleled sword light, covering the fury of the dragon's rage as they lunged with gaping maws, biting down on the azure saber light!
"Boom!"
In an instant, the blood-red serpent shattered. Bu Fangu's face first flushed crimson, then turned deathly pale. His body was sent flying back a hundred feet, a saber mark, a foot long, etched across his chest, blood seeping out continuously.
With a single saber strike from Guan Yu, Bu Fangu, the Holy Nether King and one of the four kings of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty, was defeated. Had it not been for the urgency of the situation, Guan Yu would not have intended to kill Bu Fangu, but rather to prevent him from snatching the token. Otherwise...
Bu Fangu lay on the ground, his eyes filled with fear. He, a Saint King, could not even withstand a single saber strike from Guan Yu. Guan Yu was merely a cultivator at the fifth layer of Sainthood. Even if the heroes of the Great Han could fight across realms, they shouldn't be this monstrously powerful. He couldn't even withstand a single blow.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, both Guan Yu and Bu Fangu turned their heads. They saw Yue Yun, holding a massive hammer, smashing directly into the ground. Around him lay shattered flesh and blood, with more blood continuously seeping out.
"Great Han Heavenly Dynasty!!"
"You dare to shatter my foundation!!"
"My accumulations of a million years, all ruined in this battle today!!"
Bu Fangu spat out a mouthful of blood, roaring to the heavens. The generals of the Youlang Cavalry could die, but the commander could not. After a million years of meticulous cultivation, all that remained were bursts of hot blood.
"I will have your lives!"
"All of you, die!!"
"Is that so?"
"Boom!!"
Guan Yu raised his hand slightly, and a green saber light erupted, tearing ferociously towards the disheveled Bu Fangu!
This time, Guan Yu unleashed seventy percent of his strength. With this saber strike, he intended to take Bu Fangu's life!
"Come on!!! National Destiny Qi, open for this King!!"
Bu Fangu stared at Guan Yu's saber light and roared. He ripped off his outer armor, revealing a python robe bestowed by the late Emperor. The python embroidered on his chest had eyes that flashed with traces of dragon qi!
"Accepting the will of the late Emperor, absorbing the National Destiny Qi!"
The long sword he tightly gripped trembled violently.
Instantly, golden dragon scales materialized densely across the sword's blade, accompanied by low dragon roars. This was the National Destiny Qi he had deliberately stored within his long sword in the imperial capital in preparation for this secret realm!
However, he could only utilize one-fourth of it, and since it was stored in advance, the remaining amount was even more scarce!
The National Destiny Qi that erupted from the long sword was not as terrifying as the National Destiny Qi that Bu Xiangchu and Bu Heliang had mobilized outside the imperial capital.
Boom!
A massive golden radiance shot out from the long sword, accompanied by a roar. A phantom golden dragon manifested, and within the golden dragon, a long sword pulsed with a sonorous hum!
The National Destiny Qi enveloped the long sword and, using the sword as its primary weapon, prepared to unleash a powerful strike.
Boom!
Guan Yu's saber light arrived within ten feet of Bu Fangu. At this moment, Bu Fangu had completed the mobilization of the National Destiny Qi. The golden dragon instantly attempted to block Guan Yu's saber light!
With a boom, the two did not engage in a physical collision. Instead, about five inches apart, their powers clashed intensely. The brilliant divine light vibrated within the hall. Less than a breath later, the golden dragon was forced back step by step, and Bu Fangu was also pushed back three feet. The immense friction left streaks of blood on the ground.
"Get lost, you king!"
Bu Fangu's face turned crimson with exertion. The hilt of the long sword he gripped shattered, cutting his palm and drawing blood.
From afar, Guan Yu looked coldly at Bu Fangu, who was being suppressed. He maintained the downward pressing motion with his right hand on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Suddenly, he brought his left hand to bear, and with a thunderous roar, the clashing saber light instantly surged!
Rumble!
The National Destiny Qi that filled the sky instantly dissipated. The golden radiance was swallowed by the green radiance. Golden raindrops began to fall within the hall, splashing onto the ground and vanishing.
This single saber strike tore through the sealed National Destiny Qi within Bu Fangu's long sword with a mournful cry!
"No!!"
After the golden dragon was ripped apart, the flashing green saber light plunged into Bu Fangu's physical body and then burst forth, shattering the palace gate behind him. Even so, the saber light continued to push further inward.
Following that, Bu Fangu's body was engulfed in layers of Nánmíng divine fire, refining him into nothingness.
Bu Fangu, the Holy Nether King of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty!
Dead!
Thus, with the exception of the beings from the Great Han Heavenly Dynasty and Long Yuan Shengzi, all other beings from the Hundred Cities who entered the secret realm had perished.
