Chapter 307 - Willingness

“I don’t care about long roads or distant people, Master Xiang.Just a glance is enough for me.”

Just a glance, and that’s enough.

In his final moments, Hu Shuanzi still struggled to take one more look at Dugu Xiao.

Just like this?

Is this really enough?

There are so many things in this world we are powerless to do, yet so many we willingly embrace!

Xiang Qian stood up.

This is enough.

Then he stepped forward and snapped his fingers.

The flying sword shot out once more, its fierce and frantic whistling sound making it seem like a living, ferocious creature!

Although this all sounds exceedingly slow, the passage of time in combat was in fact very brief.

At this moment, Dragon Face and Jiang Wang were fighting in the sky, merely exchanging a dozen or so moves.

“If you keep this up, you’ll be killed sooner or later!” Jiang Yan’s voice echoed in Tongtian Palace.

Jiang Wang kept his gaze firmly on Dragon Face’s eyes, constantly burning Path Origin to dodge the incoming attacks at any moment.

“Jiang Wang, you know that I am very familiar with the Cultivation Techniques of Bone Tao,” said Jiang Yan.

As the flame meteor burst again, Jiang Wang appeared in another corner of the sky and casually scattered a few flame flowers to obstruct his opponent.

At such a fierce point in the battle, Dao Techniques like the blast of Flame Sparrows or the Sea of Flame Flowers simply didn’t have time to spread.

Furthermore, the Sea of Flame Flowers had already proven ineffective against Dragon Face.

The Instantaneous Dao Arts, Binding Tiger and Flame Flowers, were also ineffective.

If it had not been for the random threat posed by Jiang Wang’s Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man, he would have already been captured by Dragon Face.

But as Dragon Face grew familiar with the flame meteor and Jiang Wang’s swordsmanship, it was only a matter of time.

“Dragon Face’s weakness is in the Heavenly Spirit.

Let me do it.

Within ten breaths, I could fight and subdue him!” shouted Jiang Yan.

“Shut up!” Jiang Wang responded in the Tongtian Palace.

No matter what, he couldn’t possibly surrender his body.

If he were truly at the brink of death, he would rather sever his path and strip away his Divine Skills first.

And at that moment…

Xiang Qian launched his sword attack.

Though he was merely at the Tenglong Realm Cultivation Level and had fought to a standstill with Monkey Face, upon utilizing the Sword Array, his Killing Power had already reached that of the Inner Mansion Realm.

Snap a finger to kill Monkey Face, then another snap, and the sword assaulted Dragon Face!

“Brother Dragon!” the Rabbit Bone Face shrieked in warning.

While ferociously pursuing Jiang Wang through the sky, Dragon Face suddenly turned back, his fist adorned with golden scales thundered down, smashing precisely on the incoming flying sword!

The flying sword instantly veered off course, flying away as if injured.

Blood inevitably overflowed from the corners of Xiang Qian’s mouth.

“This flying sword of yours is quite interesting,” said Dragon Face.

No sooner had he spoken than he stepped forward, crashing right in front of the flying sword and pounded down another fist!

The flying sword was smashed to the ground.

“Puh!”

Xiang Qian spat out a mouthful of blood, severely wounded on the spot.

Cheep cheep cheep, cheep cheep cheep!

The piercing sound of bursting echoed again.

Dragon Face had barely turned his head when the space before him was already filled with dense Flame Sparrows, leaving him no escape.

Yet, he closed his eyes, and a golden light emanated from his body!

Golden scales crept over his form, making him appear demonic.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding…

That was the sound of Flame Sparrows pecking at his body.

The high-quality, low-grade Dao Technique from the royal family of Qi Country momentarily failed to penetrate his defense!

Boom!

With a single thought, Jiang Wang detonated all the Flame Sparrows, their numerous cries merging into one.

The violent fire element temporarily dominated the space, forcing all other elements away for a moment.

Then, disregarding his injuries, Xiang Qian bit his tongue and snapped his fingers again.

The fallen flying sword leaped up once more.

This leap was like a carp jumping over the Dragon’s Gate, with an aura of invincibility, aiming straight for the back of Dragon Face’s heart.

This sword, like thunder rising from the ground, stirring the winds and clouds as it soared.

It carried an air as if there were this single sword between heaven and earth.

People could almost see Xiang Qian’s body conjoining with the sword in attack, even though he clearly stood still.

So unrestrained he appeared, so much like a defeated man—who would still take notice?

The flying sword is the man, the man is the flying sword.

This sword is me alone.

“Only I can kill anything and everything!”

Jiang Wang’s timing was impeccable; even a powerful adversary with dragon bone countenance could not emerge unscathed from the midst of the bursting Flame Sparrows’ downpour.

The first wave of sharp pecking was indeed blocked by dragon scales, but the subsequent violent explosion caught him off guard.

Before he could catch his breath, Xiang Qian’s flying sword was already upon him.

A surge of alarm erupted in his heart!

Even he dared not take this sword blow head-on.

The air around him burst open once again, and his entire body plummeted to the ground like a falling boulder, using the momentum to dodge the sharp edge.

However, as the man reached him, so did the sword.

Due to this delay, the dragon bone-faced man discovered that the sword’s force did not weaken; rather, it grew stronger with the chase.

Delay was not a good strategy.

He made a swift decision, his fists enveloped in such a dense golden light that they seemed to become gold themselves.

The Golden Fist struck fiercely forward!

The flying sword paused for a moment, while the ground beneath the dragon bone-faced man caved in several inches.

Drops of fresh blood fell from his fists as well.

Everything stilled, then resumed.

The entire flying sword rebounded, and Xiang Qian fell backward with his head thrown back.

And the dragon bone-faced man couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

To confront such a ferocious sword head-on, even he could not avoid a severe injury.

But this was the choice he had made after weighing his options.

With a Tenglong Realm Cultivation Level, how could one command such killing power to face an Inner Mansion Realm expert?

What kind of Sword Dao was this?

The dragon bone-faced man’s heart was still filled with shock and doubt when the flustered voice of the rabbit bone-faced man rang out from behind, “Dragon Bro?

What’s wrong with you?”

Such a weak woman.

That was what the dragon-faced man coldly thought to himself.

But from the original twelve Bone Tao adherents, now only the two of them remained…

“A minor injury…”

The dragon bone-faced man had only spoken half his sentence when a sudden shock occurred: “You!”

It was supposed that the rabbit bone-faced man had come behind the dragon-faced man, seemingly to join forces against the enemy, but upon arrival, those timid eyes behind the mask suddenly turned red!

The thin and fragile rabbit face hid its strongest method, a manic and bloodthirsty side.

As soon as her eyes turned red, a broken spike was already piercing into the dragon-faced man’s back.

Before the dragon-faced man could turn and deliver an elbow strike, she had already flipped backward in retreat.

The speed and strength displayed in these few movements were not inferior to those of the Dharma Phase using monkey face at full throttle.

Where was that frail and helpless little rabbit sister?

“Heartbane Spike…”

Feeling his heart rapidly weakening, the dragon bone-faced man instantly understood what kind of attack he had suffered.

As the name suggests, the Heartbane Spike aimed to destroy the heart, an exceptionally vicious Magic Artifact targeting the heart.

Along with the Shu Yuan Needles that restrained an opponent’s Dao Technique flow, it belonged to a series of consumable Magic Artifacts, expensive but extraordinarily effective.

Of course, compared to the Shu Yuan Needles, the Heartbane Spike was not only several times more precious but also several times more powerful.

Hu Shaomeng used a Shu Yuan Needle to finish off the Xi Family elder of the Ascending Dragon Realm, while the rabbit-faced user allowed the dragon-faced man’s injuries to rapidly worsen with the Heartbane Spike.

Jiang Wang would not miss such an excellent opportunity; regardless of what was happening within Bone Tao, this was his best chance.

So, while the dragon-faced man was retaliating and the rabbit-faced woman was retreating, Jiang Wang was advancing!

He made himself the hilt and his Longing the blade, transforming into a beam of light that pierced through mountains and rivers, the earth, and the stars, advancing above the dragon-faced man.

The dragon bone-faced man wanted to react immediately, but his body was inevitably and progressively weakening.

Tongtian Palace ran wildly, the Inner Mansion thrashed violently, and the two power sources forcefully propped up his body, pulling him up from the abyss of death.

But it was too late.

Jiang Wang had already descended, man and sword together, as Longing drove straight down from above into the dragon-faced man’s body!

If only…

If he hadn’t let his guard down, even the vicious Heartbane Spike couldn’t have penetrated his body.

If only…

If Jiang Wang hadn’t been so decisive, granting him a moment’s breath, he would have regained the strength to counterattack.

Even if right when he was struck by the Heartbane Spike, he hadn’t thought to retaliate against the rabbit-faced man but used that hit to deal with Jiang Wang instead, the outcome might have been different…

However, he underestimated Xiang Qian, Jiang Wang, and even the rabbit-faced woman.

Making so many mistakes in one fight was enough to cause his death.

But what was most terrifying was that he had underestimated that man…

In that instant, the dragon bone-faced man had already realized everything, yet he could only let out a hate-filled, agonized roar: “Zhang Linchuan!”
