Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was because there was no time to withdraw after entering. No matter where someone attacked, they would be slashed at least once.

Just now, everyone thought that the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade was indeed superior. But now, it seemed that the Dragon Slaying Decree was really not weak. It was just that one was stronger in the early stages, and the other was stronger in the late stages. The period where they were strong was different. It purely depended on whose hand the techniques were in.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Nearly 10,000 people focused on the waterspout on the platform.

At this moment, this battle that concerned the position of Saber Chief had become Ye Jingtang’s personal stage.

The saber momentum had already accumulated to this point, and the speed and power were already flawless. Xuanyuan Chao couldn’t break this saber technique that he was famous for at all. All he could do was keep dodging.

But after the Dragon Slaying Decree’s saber momentum was in action, as long as one knew how to control the saber, the 54-kilogram Jun Mountain Saber would fly on its own without using much effort at all, and its pursuit while spinning wasn’t too slow.

Unless Xuanyuan Chao turned around and ran away, it was impossible for him to shake off the relentlessly pursuing blade. Even if he shook off Ye Jingtang, Ye Jingtang obviously wouldn’t stop the saber momentum that he had already formed and would still chase after him.

“Haa!”

This might be the first time in Xuanyuan Chao’s life that he had been thrown into such a hopeless situation. He had roamed Jianghu for his entire life. He wouldn’t admit defeat just like that. Instead, his eyes widened like copper bells as he suddenly exerted strength to collide with the spinning heavy saber. He pushed his saber with both hands and stabbed forward, wanting to pierce Ye Jingtang’s torso.

This move was to exchange life and life and force Ye Jingtang to stop his saber momentum.

But Ye Jingtang didn’t give him any chance at all. While spinning, he retreated and distanced himself. Then a fierce and powerful heavy saber swept across the thrusting saber.

Clang!

Amidst the explosive sound of metal colliding, the terrifying destructive power of the 54-kilogram saber was displayed. When it smashed against the

3-kilogram saber, it was completely one-sided.

Xuanyuan Chao could hold the hilt of the saber, but the blade couldn’t withstand such a violent blow. It was forcefully bent and turned into a corner.

But in just an instant, the heavy saber spinning around slashed at Xuanyuan Chao’s head again with the force of splitting a mountain, not giving him any chance to react.

Xuanyuan Chao raised his bent long saber to block. The terrifying force contained in the heavy saber directly vented on his body. The bent saber didn’t break, but it was smashed into his chest. His ribs were shattered, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. His entire body was embedded in the rubble on the ground.

Boom!

The moment Ye Jingtang’s saber landed, he was already exerting strength for the next strike. He spun around and slashed at Xuanyuan Chao, who had yet to bounce up.

With Xuanyuan Chao’s foundation, he could still turn around and dodge for some time.

But Xuanyuan Chao didn’t move again. As the Saber Chief, he understood the current situation better than anyone else. It was meaningless to delay.

Xuanyuan Chao stared blankly at the heavy saber descending from the sky with his old eyes that had seen Jianghu for 70 years. There was no fear, regret, remorse, or unwillingness in his eyes, only a hint of relief.

After all, this was Jianghu.

The new lived, and the old died.

Jianghu was a cycle of the old and new generation after generation. All the peak martial artists couldn’t avoid this fate.

He had already carried his saber to roam the battlefield and dominate the saber world. He had accomplished magnificent feats that ordinary people in Jianghu could only dream of in their lives. He had stood at the peak of the mountain his entire life.

Now that he was going to die under a saber, he would also die at his peak. He had lost fair and square, not leaving any unwillingness because of old age and a declining body.

This was indeed a good ending for a peak martial artist.

Even if he survived this battle, his ribs were broken, and his foundation was damaged. He would only live for a few years. Facing his receding halo and old and sick body, what awaited him was probably endless regret and dying alone.

If he died under the saber, be it the rights or wrongs of his life, his life and everything would return to dust, and there was no need to think about anything anymore.

Unfortunately, this saber move was very long and didn’t land on his head in the end.

Drip, drip, drip!

The io,ooo-square-foot platform fell into a dead silence, leaving only the sound of dense rain.

Ye Jingtang held his saber with both hands and stopped it three inches above Xuanyuan Chao’s head. He was panting like an ox and dripping with sweat, but his eyes were very calm. He looked at the dim old eyes and said, “You have harmed your children your entire life, and you have also harmed my father for his entire life. You have been the Saber Chief in glory for decades. Since you can’t win, you want to die happily under my saber. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

“You have two choices now. Continue living without children and no hope, and live the last few years in regret. If you can’t withstand this pain, you can commit suicide and be free. You can die like a pure Jianghu person.”

After Ye Jingtang finished speaking, he put away the Jun Mountain Saber and stuck it at the edge of the pit. The broad blade looked like a wordless tombstone.

Xuanyuan Chao, who was covered in blood, moved his eyes before anger surged. “If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why do you have to say such nonsense?”

Ye Jingtang raised his hand to wipe the sweat and rain off his face and looked at the distant northwest. He said calmly, “My father didn’t live a hard life. He had a son who stayed by his side every day for more than ten years. His son would help take care of the family business and help him put on extra clothes on windy and snowy days. After he passed away, he also had a son who wore hemp and mourning clothes to send him off. He could also hand over the last wish in his heart to his son to fulfill. His life was quite complete.

“If you weren’t so blinded by greed back then, you should have a successful and respectable son now.

“You might have been able to sit on the stage at your age and watch your son spar with me. If he won, you would laugh heartily, if he lost, you could comfort him by saying, ‘Jianghu is a place where the new generation surpasses the older generation. I’m not dead yet. You have plenty of time in the future’.

“Who knows, you might have even had a few smart grandchildren. In your free time, you could sit under the eaves and watch your grandchildren practicing in the courtyard with wooden sabers.. You’d laugh and give them some pointers…”
