Chapter 4837

As six identical figures materialized, Kai, who had been fighting alone, now had the cloth-robed man completely surrounded!

The Dragon Slaying Sword gleamed with dazzling light, and each swing carried an unstoppable force, as if it could shatter anything in its path.

“Eh…”

The cloth-robed man frowned, then abruptly drove his long sword into the ground.

“As still as a mountain…”

With his chant, countless long swords materialized around him, forming an impenetrable barrier.

Though he remained motionless, the swords around him moved as if guided by his will, launching relentless attacks in all directions.

For a while, their blades clashed fiercely in the raging sea of swords. Waves of sword energy burst forth, reducing mountain rocks to dust.

The ground split into deep, jagged chasms beneath the force of their strikes, and the mountaintop looked as if it had been ravaged by a celestial hand.

Amid the intense battle, Kai gradually entered a profound state.

All distractions faded from his mind—his focus was locked solely on his opponent’s swordsmanship.

Every slash, every movement of the cloth-robed man unfolded before his eyes as if in slow motion.

A realization took root within him. The intricate sword techniques that had seemed unfathomable moments ago now became clear and logical under his understanding.

“So that’s it… the flaw in this move is right here…”

Kai murmured inwardly. In an instant, his six clones merged back into one!

At the same time, the trajectory of the Dragon Slaying Sword shifted—no longer relying solely on brute force.

Instead, he wove through the enemy’s strikes, evading the sharp edges of each attack while pinpointing weaknesses to counter.

The cloth-robed man noticed the change, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“Interesting… Comprehending new sword intent in the midst of battle? Impressive. But do you really think that alone will allow you to defeat me?”

As he spoke, his aura surged dramatically.

His swordsmanship underwent a fundamental transformation. The endless barrage of sword rain, which had overwhelmed with sheer quantity, now condensed into something far deadlier.

Each blade of sword energy pulsed with terrifying destructive power, distorting space itself wherever it passed.
“Starfall Sword Domain!”

With a soft yet commanding shout, the cloth-robed man unleashed a torrent of sword qi from the earth’s veins, cascading like an inverted Milky Way.

But these weren’t ordinary sword energies. Each strand carried the trajectory of the stars, radiating an oppressive force akin to the gravitational pull of celestial bodies.

Kai felt as if his feet were sinking into thick mud. The immense power of the stars coursed through him, sending waves of pain through his meridians.

Without hesitation, he plunged the Dragon Slaying Sword into the ground. As the Concentration Heart Art surged wildly within him, he absorbed every bit of the starfall sword qi within a ten-foot radius.

The cloth-robed man’s pupils contracted slightly. The sudden formation of a vacuum zone in his sword domain caused his momentum to stall for a brief moment.

“You can actually absorb sword qi?”

His expression darkened, and his sword aura shifted instantly.

Tracing a mysterious arc through the air, his blade radiated a profound duality—half of the sword light blazed like the scorching sun, while the other half exuded the icy chill of the moon.

Boom!

A brilliant explosion erupted where the opposing energies met. The Chaos Sword Wheel clashed violently against the Sun and Moon Wheels, tearing three dark rifts in the void itself.

The impact was devastating. Kai’s knuckles split open, and his sword nearly slipped from his grasp. His body was covered in deep cracks, with blood seeping continuously from his wounds.

Staring at the cloth-robed man, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He hadn’t expected the Guardian of the Second Heaven to be this terrifying.

How in the world did Yun Li and the others make it to the Fourth Heaven?

“Kai, are you okay?” Lin Keting called out anxiously.

Hong Yao and Lan Yao exchanged puzzled glances.

“Sister, when we challenged him earlier, he didn’t seem nearly this powerful, right?” Lan Yao asked in confusion.

“Absolutely not. Is he deliberately targeting Mr. Chen?”

Hong Yao frowned. If the cloth-robed man had shown this level of strength before, the two of them wouldn’t have lasted more than a single move!
