less dazzling purple beams of light burst through the obstruction of the azure sky and shot straight into the clouds. Afterwards, they all disappeared into the largest building within Lingbao City.Th...The longsword pierced Gokubun's throat with no resistance, however the next second, the sword in his hand was suddenly enveloped by a layer of black flames, instantly turning into a pool of molten metal.
Xue Jiaxiang's face changed drastically, he hastily retreated, but it was still too late.
At this point, Okabe Rintarou has already merged with Kurisu Makise.
With a single strike, he severed one of his arms.
Black flames quickly engulfed the severed limb, burning it to ash in the blink of an eye.
"Blood relation degree 70%!"
Not only Xue Jiaxiang and everyone in Huaxia, but even high-level officials from other countries stood up in shock.
A divine favored one with blood kinship exceeding seventy percent, whose patron deity is also a battle-hardened golden quality.
This threat is too big!
On the dais of the never-setting Empire, a middle-aged man with a bushy beard and a sinister gaze looked at the person beside him.
"Tell them to wait until the competition is over, and then declare war on the losing side."
Now the two countries of Huaxia and Sakura are at war, each revealing their cards one after another. Regardless of who wins or loses, they all take advantage of the chaos to profit from the situation.
Greece and Egypt also share the same idea.
However, they were farther away from the East and were constantly threatened by the Papal States, so they could only sigh in disappointment.
Meanwhile, high-ranking officials in the Tianzhu Empire of the East were beaming with excitement.
"I never expected the Sakura Empire to have this kind of ace up their sleeve. We should truly be grateful to Xia, because if it weren't for their hard work, we might be the ones losing out."
A man with a white headscarf, a bushy beard, and a smiling face.
They had planned to attack the Xia Dynasty recently, but unfortunately, they were beaten to it by the Sakura Empire.
However, judging from the current situation, they seem to have the upper hand. No matter who wins between the two sides, they can be the first to reap the benefits.
Who wouldn't love something low risk and high reward
"Tell Amir to prepare for battle at any moment. Today, we shall ensure that the radiance of the Divine Light shines upon all of the East."
"No, no, no, my Salmaan, they are not worthy of the glory of the Gods. They are only fit to be sacrifices to Shiva. That is their true destiny."
"Hahaha... you're right, the brilliance of Shiva is more fitting for them." www.x㈧.ＮēΤ
A group of people laughed unrestrainedly, not giving a second thought to anyone else.
"Amitabha Buddha, the sea of suffering is boundless, turning back is the shore. If they are willing to enter my Buddhist gate, I, the Tathagata Buddha, will also take them in."
A venerable old monk chanted Buddhist scriptures nearby, looking utterly heartbroken.
"Master Gamma, you are still the most merciful. Perhaps this way: after we conquer China, we will allow you to build temples there. After all, China has a large population, making it the most suitable place to construct divine temples."
"That's excellent!"
In the ring.
Xue Jiaxiang had an arm cut off by Okamoto no Musashi, and his body was still covered in that black flame.
He was standing there with a pale face.
His bloodline affinity was only 49%, just a little short of being able to borrow divine power, but that one point decided his upper limit.
This has nothing to do with effort, it requires talent. It's a realm that only true geniuses can reach.
"Die!"
Impacted by the killing intent of Suzumeno, Oka Motozō let out a ferocious laugh and crossed his two swords in a horizontal slash.
It is necessary to cut off Xue Jiaxiang's head.
Lü Dongbin also saw this scene and wanted to step in to save him, but at this time he was in a state of gathering power and couldn't break free.
Could it be Heaven's will
It was so close. Whether it was Xue Jiaxiang or him, if he could just hold on for a few more seconds, if they could merge... No, even lending him some of his divine power would have been enough.
We will never lose!
It's a pity there are no ifs in this world!
Xue Jiashang's head, as expected, was severed and rolled with a gurgling sound onto the platform.
A pair of tiger eyes, full of unwillingness!
I almost won! If only I could have bought Lü Dongbin a little more time...
Xue Jiaxiang is dead!
The people of the Xia Dynasty saw this scene and fell silent.
Some people were weeping softly, some turned their heads away, and others were filled with righteous indignation.
"No! We haven't lost! We didn't lose!"
Longye saw this and thought he was just unwilling to accept it. He wanted to speak comfortingly, but when his hand reached halfway, he didn't know what to say.
"Why hasn't it been announced that it's over yet"
Okamoto-san frowned, waiting for the host to announce the competition results.
After half a day, the host Bob still showed no signs of appearing.
This gave him a faint unease.
"Aren't you unwilling to accept this I'm unwilling too. I've cultivated for thousands of years, given up all my Dao Fruit, how can I fall here!"
Even in death, I shall ask this question for all beings!
Even if one does not enter the cycle of rebirth, what then!
I am Lü Dongbin, the Immortal Swordsman of the Mortal World!
Lu Dongbin appeared to be possessed, his usual calm and composed demeanor gone. Instead, there was a sharp and fierce sword intent emanating from him.
A humble plant flew from his chest and slowly landed on Xue Jiaxiang's headless body.
The next moment.
The body, which had already died, slowly came back to life, as if it was adapting to moving without a head.
"Arrival!"
Lu Dongbin shouted loudly.
A myriad of sword intents converged in an instant, following him as they poured into Xue Jiaxiang's headless body.
Xue Jiaxiang's shirt was torn to shreds by this violent sword intent, and on his remaining arm, the faint shadow of a sword slowly appeared.
The blade began to solidify, little by little.
His twin peaks suddenly opened a pair of eyes, and his navel became a mouth.
"In ancient times there was a divine warrior, without a head and still fighting. I too can do so!"
The sound was like a muffled thunder, it was unclear whether it was Xue Jiaxiang or Lü Dongbin, or perhaps both of them.
The gleam on the longsword grew brighter and brighter, until it enveloped the entire platform, obscuring everything from view.
After a long time, the light faded away.
Two figures stood back to back.
"Who won"
At this moment, both China and Japan have begun to feel tense.
As if in response to their words, Okabe no Taro's body suddenly erupted in a burst of blood mist.
finally turned into a pool of blood.
"Did we win"
"We won!"
"China will surely win!"
"China is invincible!"
">”
"
Cheers erupted one after another, but only a few people wore expressions of sadness.
Can a person live without a head
The answer is no!
This means that Xue Jiaxiang is already dead. The reason he's still standing is because his fighting spirit hasn't dissipated yet.
Host Bobby slowly appeared, glancing at the headless body still standing there.
She inclined her head slightly towards him in respect.
[Third Match, HuaXia Wins!]
As his words faded, Xue Jiaxiang's headless body slowly began to dissipate.
Even if one does not enter the cycle of rebirth, what then
I am Lü Dongbin, the sword immortal of the mortal world!
"As a son of China, I would never be afraid to fight!"
Tears had already blurred Chiang Wenming's vision, and at this moment, he just wanted to let out a loud cry.
Although my time with Xue Jiaxiang was brief, he treated me like a kind elder, taking great care of Chiang Wenming.
But now he is dead, not even a chance to enter reincarnation!
"Farewell to Lü Zu and General Xue as they return to their posts!"
Jiang Wenming bowed respectfully four times in the direction they had disappeared.t only alarming the high-ranking officials of the Hua Xia Empire, but also startling numerous spies hiding within its borders.The Sakura Empire, as the empire closest to China, and being a descendant...
