The reason the Seven Kills Sword is so powerful is that it can amplify inner strength. When operated to the extreme, the Seven Kills Sword Technique can double He Bi's inner strength.

However, such a domineering sword technique is extremely harmful to the body. He Bi, provoked by Gao Xuan, finally unleashed his true mastery.

With just a layer of inner strength enhanced, He Bi's state became completely different.

Gao Xuan's hidden weapons had no more effect, and the speed of the Golden Swan Skill was even faster.

By this point, Gao Xuan could no longer shake off He Bi. He could only rely on the agility of the Flying Swallow Body Technique, leaping and changing direction atop the treetops.

He Bi's movements appeared somewhat clumsy, yet they were faster. A gray shadow followed behind Gao Xuan, unable to be shaken off.

The Willow Forest was not large, and Gao Xuan swiftly reached the other side of the forest.

This was a hilly area, overgrown with shrubs and wild grass. In the late autumn season, the wild grass was withered and yellow, the shrubbery left only with unsightly branches.

Gao Xuan lightly stood on a clump of bushes, his body swaying with the bending branches underfoot, appearing as graceful as an immortal.

He Bi, who had been pursuing with his sword, suddenly stopped and asked with a bit of surprise, "Why aren't you running anymore?"

As he spoke, He Bi's eyes scanned the surroundings but found nothing unusual, making him even more puzzled by Gao Xuan's actions.

Gao Xuan brushed his long sleeve, and the Hidden Dragon Sword, bright as a mirror, sprang out from his sleeve.

Under the sunlight, the blade was dazzlingly bright.

He Bi squinted his old eyes slightly and said with some amusement, "It's indeed a good sword. But do you think you can compete with me using it? Are you worthy? Hahaha..."

"I'm not too good with hidden weapon palm techniques. I can only use the sword now. But using the sword is too boring." Gao Xuan sighed softly.

"Feigning ghosts and spirits!"

He Bi sneered, his old face full of disdain.

Yet, he felt somewhat uneasy inside. With a sword in hand, Gao Xuan seemed like a different person.

His eyes revealed immense self-confidence, yet deep and unfathomable, as if he were a divine being in control of everything, possessing immeasurable might, making one instinctively want to submit at his feet.

He Bi, who had seen countless masters in his lifetime, even those recognized as the invincible strongest in the world, never had such a powerful and intimidating demeanor.

He Bi thought again that he might have seen it wrong or overthought.

Just a traitor from the Feihua Sect with second-tier inner power cultivation, how formidable could he be?

No matter how much Gao Xuan practiced swordsmanship from the womb, how high could his swordsmanship be?

In the end, He Bi, with his pure cultivation, quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts and activated the Seven Injuries Sword Technique.

The so-called Seven Injuries refer to the seven emotions: joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock. Each emotion corresponds to a set of sword techniques for the five internal organs.

The saying goes, joy harms the liver, anger harms the heart, sadness harms the spleen...

He Bi had profound mastery of the Seven Injuries Sword; he focused on the sword techniques rather than the emotions. In this way, he used the power of the five internal organs to execute the sword techniques, layer by layer enhancing his inner strength.

Realizing Gao Xuan's depth and mystery, He Bi fully displayed the Seven Injuries Sword.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with Gao Xuan, even when hunting a rabbit, one must use full force. Since he couldn't identify the problem, he might as well go all out.

He Bi was usually very stingy with his power, not wanting to waste sword techniques and drain his body.

But at the critical moment, He Bi was decisive.

The Seven Injuries Sword Technique stimulated the five internal organs, and He Bi's inner strength increased layer by layer, yet his face turned blue, white, red, and black in succession, his complexion changing unpredictably.

Such a sword technique was domineering, and its harm to the body was immediately evident.

He Bi dared not hesitate, temporarily adjusted himself, and then swung his sword to slash at Gao Xuan.

This Heartbreak Slash, based on Heart Fire, had the strongest burst of inner strength and the most imposing momentum.

He Bi's inner strength surged, billowing his gray robe. His entire body seemed to swell by three times and grow three feet taller. His inner strength agitated his beard and brows to fly up.

Such power was truly domineering to the extreme.

Even though Gao Xuan's swordsmanship was invincible, he was much weaker in inner power than this old man. This old man was in a berserk state, which Gao Xuan could not stop.

However, no matter how powerful the sword technique, it still needed to hit the target to work.

He Bi's inner strength burst like flames, his momentum flourishing. In Gao Xuan's eyes, the flaws in the moves were even more pronounced.

Gao Xuan sidestepped, the Hidden Dragon Sword lightly stabbing at He Bi's ribs.

His angle and speed of swordplay were nearly perfect. He Bi's sword stroke could not hit Gao Xuan, but he would inevitably be injured by the Hidden Dragon Sword.

He Bi felt somewhat stifled; Gao Xuan's sword timing was precisely at the peak of his inner strength burst.

Whether a bit earlier or later, he could calmly change his move. But at this moment, it was his most difficult time.

He Bi had no choice but to turn his sword into a horizontal sweep. His inner strength surpassed Gao Xuan's by several times; as long as the dual swords touched, they could shake off Gao Xuan's Sword Artifact or even directly shock Gao Xuan to death.

Gao Xuan retracted his sword for another stab, this sword precisely targeting the flaws in He Bi's sword move, leaving him no choice but to change.

He Bi was one move behind, bound hand and foot. He could resist following Gao Xuan's rhythm, but no matter how strong his inner strength was, it was difficult to physically withstand the sharp blade of the Hidden Dragon Sword.

In desperation, He Bi transformed his sword into the Hidden Essence Style, using defense as offense.

This sword was reserved and unforthcoming, making it impossible for others to predict his sword move changes. It was a killer move in the Seven Injuries Sword.

Unfortunately, He Bi did not know that Gao Xuan was a reincarnation of a supreme Sword Dao Grandmaster.

Although Source Power and inner strength are different, and the changes in sword moves are not entirely the same, the human body's structure is the same, and the force changes in muscles and bones are the same.

Despite the miraculous nature of inner strength, it cannot violate the body structure to force a move.

Practicing inner strength for a few days, Gao Xuan had already grasped the essence of the change in swordsmanship.

Faced with a swordsman like He Bi, once he made a move, he could see all the flaws in the opponent.

With his speed and control, the sharpness of the Hidden Dragon Sword, each move he made targeted the flaws in He Bi's techniques, immediately suppressing the opponent.

Despite He Bi's substantial inner strength, he had no way to exert it. After just two moves, he was forced to fully execute the Hidden Essence Style.

Withdrawing the sword into a defensive style, responding to all changes with the unchanging, it is a most exquisite swordsmanship.

But in Gao Xuan's eyes, all of He Bi's move variations were as clear as black words on white paper, unmistakably clear.

The Hidden Dragon Sword thrust again, precisely striking the point where He Bi found it most difficult to exert force or defend.

If He Bi disregarded everything and counterattacked, he would still inevitably take a hit from Gao Xuan's sword. Though suppressed by Gao Xuan's sword techniques, he wasn't yet desperate enough to fight ferociously with Gao Xuan.

He couldn't believe that Gao Xuan could always maintain the advantage and never make a mistake. Soon, He Bi regretted it.

The cold light of the Hidden Dragon Sword shone brightly as it thrust continuously, each sword attacking the flaw in He Bi's form.

The sound of sword edges breaking through the air continued to resonate, the Hidden Dragon Sword becoming faster and faster.

He Bi was forced to retreat continuously, a layer of cold sweat forming on his forehead. At this rate, he would be forced to death by Gao Xuan's exquisite swordsmanship.

In a moment of desperation, He Bi couldn't help but activate the Thunderous Sound. Just as his inner strength was surging and he opened his mouth to shout angrily, Gao Xuan seized the opportunity during his agitated distraction, striking a sword at his elbow's Quzhe Acupoint.

This acupoint is precisely on the Heart Scripture's path that controls the entire arm, where the Seven Injuries Sword Technique's inner strength operates.

Having his Quzhe Acupoint pierced by Gao Xuan's sword, He Bi's arm went numb, and the flow of the Seven Kills Sword Technique's inner strength became sluggish.

Gao Xuan's Hidden Dragon Sword took advantage of the weakness, its mirror-like blade separating into seven sword lights, instantly piercing He Bi's throat, heart, Purple Palace, central area, Shenzhu, Qi Sea, and Guanyuan seven locations.

He Bi had no time to react, being struck by seven swords consecutively. Just the sword wounds on his throat and heart were enough to be fatal.

The other five major acupoints being pierced further disrupted his Seven Injuries Sword Technique, leaving him no strength to fight back even if he wanted to gamble his life in the final moments.

He Bi was now completely immobile, with blood spurting from seven sword injuries, especially the wounds on his throat and heart, rapidly draining his life force.

Inner strength was useless at this time.

He Bi couldn't fathom how he ended up like this, how he was killed by Gao Xuan.

The inner strength disparity between them was so great, how could the opponent have won!

He Bi stared at Gao Xuan, his old eyes full of unwillingness and confusion.

"Once I drew my sword, you lost."

Gao Xuan flicked his fingers lightly on the spine of the Hidden Dragon Sword, causing it to vibrate slightly and clear, a few droplets of blood splashing into the air from the blade.

He whispered softly: "I am a melancholic guest on earth, finding joy in the hardships of Jianghu. When I wish to compose a poem in the wind, I have no brilliant lines, the blood-soaked cold autumn sings the song of the sword..."

He Bi neither understood Gao Xuan as a person, nor his sword, nor did he quite grasp Gao Xuan's poetry. He could only feel that the man was profoundly mysterious, the sword was supremely divine, the poetry had a lofty charm...

Without giving He Bi much time to think, the spiritual light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

The renowned master from the Northwest, the Seven Injuries Sword He Bi, thus breathes his last.

The two Kongtong disciples who hurriedly rushed from the Willow Forest happened to witness He Bi falling backward lifeless. The two Kongtong disciples were utterly shocked, momentarily stunned in fear.
