Chapter 1699 Sword Slaying the Disaster!
Did Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua really fail?
not at all.
They always believed that Jian Changsheng's words, "to lure it to the Ancient Treasury of Military Strategy," meant to draw the calamity into the Ancient Treasury of Military Strategy, and then use some power within the ancient treasury to obliterate it...
But to their utter surprise, Jian Changsheng's final trump card for avoiding disaster was not within the Ancient Treasury of Military Strategy...
It is the very essence of the ancient military strategy collection!
The Ancient Treasury of the Way of War is so enormous that the range of its strikes is unbelievably exaggerated. Therefore, it would be perfectly sufficient to simply lure the Calamity to the vicinity of the Ancient Treasury of the Way of War.
Jian Changsheng hovered above the human sword, gauging the distance between them with his eyes, and cautiously raised the sword finger of his left hand...
He admitted he was a little nervous.
Because at this moment, he was wielding the strongest sword, the one most powerful weapon in human history, and he only had one chance.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the fate of humanity is now in his hands... But Jian Changsheng's character has been honed to its limit along the way. He is no longer the bewildered and helpless Jian who first came to the Ancient Treasury of Military Strategy. He is now the eighth-order [Asura] of this era, Jian Changsheng who wields the strongest sword for killing humanity!
When he truly grasped the fate of humanity, he found that the tension was only momentary... and more than anything, there was an unprecedented calm.
The sword is in my hand.
As it should.
Black ribbons danced wildly in the wind. Jian Changsheng raised his sword finger and pointed it at Ji Zai in mid-air...
He said calmly:
"go."
boom--! ! !
A murderous aura capable of tearing apart heaven and earth erupted from that human sword, and a colossal shadow, seemingly capable of cleaving through everything, roared as it slashed down in one direction!
At this moment, both Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua were stunned.
When Jian Changsheng stepped on the giant sword and soared into the air, they had already vaguely guessed this possibility, but they subconsciously rejected it... They did not believe that the ancient military manual could be used by them.
Even when Jian Changsheng actually swung his sword, they were still utterly shocked, but what surged into their hearts afterward was an overwhelming joy of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!
They really could kill Ji Zai!!
Exhausted, Sun Bumian was struck heavily by the severed tail of Jizai, shattering all his bones and causing him to plummet into the abyss, spitting blood...
As a world-ending calamity, Ji Zai could naturally sense the immense energy contained within that sword strike. It knew very well that it was absolutely unable to withstand the attack in its current state, so it immediately exhausted its last bit of strength, and the lantern above its head lit up once more.
This sword strike was too large; without the support of seawater to move, it absolutely could not swim away to avoid it...
In that case, we can only rely on spatial extension and fission.
As long as it can teleport away from here, it can cleave this sword in two. It doesn't believe that these humans can trigger the same slash a second time!
Just as the lanterns meant to ward off disaster lit up, a bandaged hand slammed its fist into one of the lanterns without hesitation!
His dirty white hair danced wildly in the wind. Jiang Xiaohua's remaining half of his body was wrapped in bandages around Ji Zai's body. At this moment, his palms were buried in the lantern, and his eyes showed an unprecedented determination...
"you……"
"Don't run away!!"
Jiang Xiaohua forcefully pulled himself into the cursed lantern, the terrifying curse turning his body black, but he showed no sign of stopping.
He spat out the deadly poison he had been holding between his teeth, then crushed it forcefully. The extreme toxicity spread through the lantern of calamity, instantly staining a small area blood red...
Then, Jiang Xiaohua dug his fingers into his chest, where a cursed object flickered faintly. With a burst of force, his entire body exploded!
boom--! ! !
Countless magical curse artifacts simultaneously detonated from his body.
A crimson holy grail flipped over, directly inverting the curse on Jiang Xiaohua's body into it. When it flipped over again, the curse had vanished... Immediately afterwards, an endless stream of curses surged forth from it like a raging sea!
Under the combined effects of the deadly poison and the cursed explosion, two-thirds of the enormous lantern of the Cursed Calamity was contaminated, with only a dim, gray light barely penetrating through. In this state, the Cursed Calamity could only flicker for a kilometer...
Before the strike of that colossal sword that reaches to the heavens and the earth, a deviation of one kilometer is utterly meaningless!
"Little Flower!!!"
Sun Bumian, who had been thrown into the abyss, saw Jiang Xiaohua sacrifice herself to destroy Jizai's domain, and his eyes instantly turned red!
Immediately afterwards, an endless killing intent, like a great flood engulfing the world, pressed down from the sky. This colossal sword, towering between heaven and earth, guided by the sword finger of the figure bearing the halo of killing intent, struck Ji Zai!
boom--! ! ! ! !
in an instant,
The roar of a colossal beast, the steam rising from the sea!
Sun Bumian felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and the violent impact caused him to lose consciousness.
……
Hua la la la——
I do not know how long it has been.
The biting cold rain slid down Sun Bumian's cheeks.
His eyelids twitched, his expression changed rapidly, and the next second he suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and gushed blood from his mouth...
An unprecedented feeling of weakness washed over Sun Bumian. After exhausting his power of reincarnation, his hair began to turn dry and gray. He looked at his haggard and aged reflection in the water, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes...
Then, as if he had finally remembered something, he looked around.
He is still in the frozen sea.
In the distance lies the ancient military treasure trove in the frozen sea, but the once towering giant sword has now completely collapsed, with one-third buried in the seabed and another third swallowed by the seawater, leaving only a small section of the hilt sticking out of the water...
The murderous aura contained within gradually dissipated, and no life force could be sensed within it, as if the entire ancient temple had been completely burned to ashes by that single sword strike.
The drizzling seawater soaked Sun Bumian's body. The rain seemed to be fragments of seawater gathered in the sky, reforming into rain clouds, and then falling. Besides being icy cold, it also had a foul, cursed smell.
Sun Bumian looked back and saw countless pieces of flesh floating on the sea, turning the entire sea black. Among the pieces of flesh, one could also see some remnants that looked like ancient ruins, standing there...
He was terrified... and really died.
That sword strike shattered Ji Zai's body and also extinguished its life.
They did it...
Recalling Jiang Xiaohua's resolute actions at the last moment, Sun Bumian felt an indescribable sorrow rising in his heart... He knew that Jiang Xiaohua's decision to spit out the poison and choose to fight against the calamity with poison was a last resort.
This also means that... Jiang Xiaohua's ghost cannot enter the next world.
Just as Sun Bumian lowered his head in silence, on the other side of the sea, a figure clad in armor, holding a broken sword in one hand and a fragment of the Dao Foundation from the Ancient Witchcraft Treasury in the other, slowly walked towards them...
