Dantai Shaoyu, seeing this, felt a bit amused. Even at this point, his tone remained so calm.

Could it be that he still had a trump card hidden?

With that thought in mind, she decided not to hold back. After all, it was just one move; she merely had to give her opponent due respect.

It was to be a single sword strike. Very well, she would use this move...

Dantai Shaoyu stood straight, tapped the void, and a bright sword light flew out, its pure white radiance as dazzling as the sun.

The Qianyuan Sword Sect was the top sword sect in Qianzhou. While slightly less famous than the Shangxiao Sword Sect in the Nine Provinces Cultivation World, it was even more renowned within Qianzhou itself. Within it resided the Heavenly Origin Sword Scripture, which emphasized cultivating one's own might. This scripture allowed one to condense a unique Sword Origin Power imbued with the formidable power of the Heavenly Dao, unleashing devastating offensive strength to annihilate anything in its path. This Sword Dao eschewed all spells and defensive techniques, achieving a purity even greater than that of the Shangxiao Sword Sect. But when it came to breadth and orthodoxy, the Shangxiao Sword Sect was still considered preeminent.

"I shall unleash a sword strike, named the Defeat Death Sword."

"The power of this sword technique is no less than your sect's Qiankun Sword, so be careful!"

Dantai Shaoyu hummed lightly, and suddenly, spots of light shone around her body, resembling some kind of mysterious nodes.

The Defeat Death Sword involved clashing the Spiritual Origin within one's body. After this self-damaging process, it unleashed a formidable personal aura, which then combined with the energized Spiritual Power from the internal clash to activate the powerful sword technique. It was still a middle-level sword technique, yet its power was even more terrifying...

She let out a slight grunt, her face paling slightly, as several streams of Spiritual Origin surged from her body, converging on the bright long sword. As if being charged, the radiant Flying Sword suddenly burst into a dazzling light, shooting toward Wang Mu like a nuclear bomb.

The might of this sword strike was even stronger than Wang Mu's Qiankun Sword. However, the Qiankun Sword could be unleashed multiple times in rapid succession, whereas this Defeat Death Sword was truly just a single strike.

This sword strike is somewhat similar to the Qiankun Sword... The similarity lies in the fact that the Qiankun Sword is powered by the clashing of Spiritual Power, forming a unique destructive energy that shatters the sword to unleash its might. This Defeat Death Sword, however, involves an internal clash of Spiritual Power within the user's body; this energy and aura are then channeled into the sword to unleash its power. It doesn't damage the sword itself, but while its might is greater, this single strike comes at the cost of injuring the user. One technique destroys the sword for power; the other damages the user for power. That's why it's called the Defeat Death Sword.

Wang Mu, his eyes closed, neither dodged nor evaded. Watching the sword strike approach, he simply stretched out his hand, then clenched it into a fist...

The crowd thought he still had some magic powers or divine skills yet to display but were bewildered to see him choose to receive the sword strike in such a manner.

However, in the next second, Wang Mu hurled a punch toward the long sword.

His entire body functioned like a highly precise machine, from sinew and bone to internal organs and Blood Marrow, as if everything concentrated into a single moment. The Mountain and Sea Spirit Pattern on his back shone faintly. A colossal force gathered in that punch, slamming directly into the incoming bright Flying Sword.

BOOM!

In an instant, a vast explosion of Sword Qi erupted, creating a terrifying cloud of dust and mist.

WHOOSH...

A long sword, like the Golden Crow falling west from the sky, descended from the cloud and landed beside Dantai Shaoyu, embedding itself three inches deep into the platform.

"?" Dantai Shaoyu.

"?" The crowd.

What was going on? What had happened?

Xuanmingzi, in the void above, looked slightly stunned, apparently not expecting such a turn of events either.

After a moment, the cloud of dust and mist dispersed.

Wang Mu still sat in his meditative posture, merely withdrawing his fist. His clothes, due to the powerful shockwave, were blasted with several holes, looking somewhat ragged but revealing intact muscles beneath, each one symmetrical and perfect.

"Hmm, I won." Wang Mu stood up and flicked his sleeves.

He hadn't expected that, in the end, he would still have to rely on his fists, Wang Mu sighed inwardly.

At that moment, a thought flashed through everyone's minds, and their mouths gaped open as they stared at Wang Mu.

A body cultivator? He's a damn body cultivator? After fighting for so long, he's actually a body cultivator?!

In that instant, the crowd was utterly dumbfounded.
