Chapter 992: With This Sword Of Mine, Even A Saint

A rare opportunity?

Hearing Yi Feng's words, Bai Piaopiao and Su Jie were both startled, their eyes meeting in silent astonishment. A rare expression of shock appeared simultaneously in their clear eyes.

Not only was Bai Piaopiao increasingly shaken, but even the usually reticent Su Jie was visibly stunned.

The path of immortality is vast and boundless, and even after a lifetime of cultivation, one may never reach the other shore. From saints to mortals, if one cannot ascend to the pinnacle, they will inevitably face the end of their lifespan. This is the inescapable fate and the very reason for embarking on the path of cultivation. Death represents infinite fear, and in the face of such despair, all beings are equal.

Even those who bravely sacrifice themselves for a greater cause cannot do so with complete ease.

At this moment.

This seemingly ordinary man possessed a transcendent grace, willing to disregard life and death in pursuit of supreme divine power, all to reach that unparalleled realm.

It must be known that such divine power is not guaranteed to succeed!

Such unwavering determination is truly rare throughout the ages!

Bai Piaopiao's heart was already racing, a complex mix of emotions surging within her. Even though Yi Feng was only a half-saint, everything he displayed at this moment surpassed any existence in the world, like a bright moon illuminating the heavens, overlooking the world!

This was the man she admired!

Su Jie's expression was even more serious. For the first time since their initial meeting, she regarded Yi Feng with genuine respect. As Bai Piaopiao quietly stepped back, Su Jie placed her sacred sword before her, as if facing a peerless master.

With a solemn voice, she spoke with reverence.

"If I strike with all my might, even a saint would not dare to contend. Do you have any regrets?"

Yi Feng smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation and ease.

"Good!"

"Please, by all means, strike with your full strength. I am deeply grateful!"

Indeed, this man's resolve was unshakable, having reached a state where he would face death without regret, unmatched by anyone in the world.

Su Jie was momentarily stunned by his words.

"Very well..."

Su Jie nodded gravely, her right hand lightly gripping the hilt of her sword. With just a gentle grasp, the sacred sword, which had not been unsheathed for years, emitted a resonant hum, like a dragon's roar piercing through the heavens. In an instant, the clouds split, and the moonlight dimmed!

As the sword was drawn, the world fell silent!

The entire sacred land was enveloped by the boundless sword intent, the sword's radiance piercing through the starry sky and clouds. Before the sword was even fully unleashed, it seemed as though it would cleave the heavens and the earth, its cold light overshadowing the moon and stars. It was as if, under that sword, all things would lose their brilliance!

In that moment, the sheer power surpassed all imagination. Even Bai Piaopiao, a fellow saint, had never witnessed such sword radiance, nor had she ever seen Su Jie unleash her full strength. Merely observing from a distance, she felt an immense pressure, her jade-like fingers clenching tightly!

In the face of that sword.

Bai Piaopiao felt utterly insignificant. Her earlier full-powered palm strike had only mobilized a fraction of her power, and compared to this nearly tangible sword intent, it was but a gentle breeze. Even if she used all her hidden cards, she would never be able to withstand this sword. It was likely that she would perish, her path extinguished!

The full power of a true saint could force the heavens and earth to yield. It was truly terrifying!

Bai Piaopiao's eyes were fixed, her gaze tense to the extreme. Under such pressure, the sword seemed to tear through space, its radiance instantly descending upon Yi Feng's head!

It was too fast!

That thunderous momentum was not just speed—it transcended consciousness. Even Bai Piaopiao, a newly ascended saint, could not react in time. Watching that solitary figure, the last trace of a smile vanished, completely engulfed by the terrifying, towering sword radiance!

All things fell silent.

The heavens and earth were as bright as day!

In that instant, Bai Piaopiao's heart clenched, and she nearly cried out!!!

"Hummmmm~~~~~~!"

The sacred sword's resonant hum shook the heavens and earth, and it seemed as though time itself had frozen!

Bai Piaopiao clenched her jade-like fingers within her sleeves, her knuckles turning white. All her healing elixirs had been summoned, and she stared intently at the ruins of the courtyard, now as bright as day!

No matter the outcome, she could no longer control the situation. All she could do was prepare to save Yi Feng with everything she had if something went wrong, waiting for everything to unfold!

Since becoming a saint, Bai Piaopiao had never felt so powerless, nor had she ever realized her own insignificance. In this moment, the despair of the heavens and earth being destroyed filled her heart!

It was heart-wrenching!!!

But no matter how hard she tried, the sword's radiance was too terrifying. The illuminated ruins of the courtyard were as blinding as the sun, and even she, a saint, could not look directly at it!

It seemed as though everything in the world had come to a standstill. In the midst of this sun-like, earth-shaking scene, a deafening roar suddenly erupted!

"Boom!!!"

Even without seeing it, Bai Piaopiao could imagine that Yi Feng had been pierced by the terrifying sword intent, and the ground behind him had been leveled by the immense sword radiance!

Bai Piaopiao's eyes were already brimming with tears, her red lips tightly bitten. She could not predict the outcome, her heart burning with anxiety!

But at this very moment.

A series of dull thuds followed!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

It must be Yi Feng being struck by the sword radiance, sent flying and severely injured!

As soon as this thought arose, Bai Piaopiao could no longer hold back. She unleashed all her power, her eyes wide with urgency as she looked toward the center of the storm, ready to rush in!

But when she looked intently.

She saw a figure standing unharmed, a look of confusion on his face. Despite the deep chasm behind him, he remained unmoved, simply staring into the distance, frozen!

Yi Feng was unharmed?!

How was this possible...

Bai Piaopiao was stunned, unable to process what had just happened.

Following his gaze, she saw another figure being flung westward at an incredible speed, its form barely discernible. Countless buildings were shattered as it passed, dust and debris flying everywhere, the ground shaking continuously!

The figure was moving so fast that Bai Piaopiao could only make out the glow of the sacred sword!

It was Su Jie!?

Why was Yi Feng standing there unharmed, while her friend was being flung away so violently? It was as if Yi Feng had been the one to strike, and everything had been reversed. What on earth had happened...

Bai Piaopiao was completely baffled.

Seeing this unbelievable scene, she could no longer think clearly, nor could she imagine what had transpired. But Su Jie was the strongest sword saint, and such a repulsion would not cause her any serious injury. The sword's radiance was too terrifying, and she could not catch up immediately.

In her utter astonishment, Bai Piaopiao could only focus her thoughts and instantly appeared beside Yi Feng.

She urgently asked!

"Yi Feng?! Are you hurt? What just happened?!"

Yi Feng was equally dumbfounded.

He stared at Bai Piaopiao for a long time, unable to utter a single word. It was as if his entire worldview had been shaken, and he couldn't organize his thoughts!

He had no idea what had just happened either.

Just moments ago, Yi Feng had been filled with anticipation, watching the sword radiance pierce the heavens and earth, so terrifying that he was thrilled, thinking his dream was about to come true. He had spread his arms, ready to embrace death.

Then he heard a "snap!"

It happened so fast!

Everything seemed to have passed, and he felt nothing. Then came a series of dull thuds!

Who would have thought that when he opened his eyes, he was completely unharmed, while Su Jie had vanished! Now Bai Piaopiao was asking him, but who could he ask...

Seeing the girl's anxious expression and her constant checking of his body, Yi Feng could only respond with reassurance to ease her worries.

"Miss Bai, it seems... I'm fine. You don't need to worry too much."

Hearing this.

Bai Piaopiao first let out a long sigh of relief, then carefully examined Yi Feng. Gradually, her eyes filled with shock, and then astonishment, as she stood frozen, staring in disbelief!

This was impossible!

Given Yi Feng's cultivation level, there was no way he could have withstood Su Jie's full-powered strike. Yet, he was completely unharmed, and Su Jie had even been sent flying?!

If Yi Feng had managed to block her full-powered strike, it might have been understandable. But Su Jie's cultivation and mastery of the sword were such that even a saint could not withstand it. How was Yi Feng still unharmed?!

Yi Feng's cultivation had reached such a terrifying level. Could he truly be a saint, having just withstood Su Jie's strongest strike?!

This!

Bai Piaopiao was completely stunned, a tidal wave of emotions surging within her!

This handsome man and beautiful woman suddenly found themselves at a loss for words, their hearts filled with turmoil, both transformed into bewildered figures, standing frozen in shock.

Until ripples appeared in the void before them, and Su Jie, covered in dust, reappeared. The two finally snapped out of their daze and spoke in unison!

"Sister Su, what just happened?"

"Miss Su, what just happened...?"

Su Jie did not seem seriously injured, but her face was pale, and she did not look well. She stared at Yi Feng for a long time, her eyes filled with gravity.

In a low voice, she spoke with great caution.

"I never expected... you truly are at the saint level."

"And not just any saint, but an exceptionally powerful one!"
