Madness!

As these Bear Demons went berserk, the battle became utterly frenzied, and every disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect was fighting like their lives depended on it, fully unleashing the momentum of a true disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

Unlike the sect competition, in this life-and-death battle, it seemed that everyone's potential was being thoroughly squeezed out.

Even these Bear Demons could not withstand the terrifying sword lights.

However, Wang Junze paid no attention to these Bear Demons and instead charged straight towards Chi Xiao.

Wang Junze wasn't actually aware of the existence of Xiong Ying and Ni Liang, but he could guess that if it has reached such a dangerous level and Luo Bingyun has yet to make a move, there must be an opponent deterring her from acting rashly, and likely a powerhouse from the Demon Race.

With Chi Xiao carrying the bloodline of the Demon Race and commanding the Bear Demons to attack in this valley, it was naturally easy to deduce that Chi Xiao was associated with the Demon Race powerhouses behind the Bear Demons.

No matter how many Bear Demons die, the Demon Race powerhouses behind them might not care, but if Chi Xiao could be captured, there might be a slim chance to force the Demon Race powerhouses into negotiation.

If that guess was correct, then the reason Luo Bingyun didn't dare to act rashly was because Luo Qingxuan and the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect had become leverage against Luo Bingyun. By the same logic, capturing Chi Xiao might turn him into similar leverage.

Of course, the one to negotiate with the other side would definitely not be Wang Junze, but Luo Bingyun!

Previously, Chi Xiao had clashed with Luo Qingxuan and most likely suffered a major loss, which is why he had been hiding behind these Bear Demons.

However, with Chi Xiao's personality, he likely wouldn't take Wang Junze seriously.

Therefore, if Wang Junze made the first move, Chi Xiao would most likely engage him.

In the current situation, this might be the only way to survive!

Just as Wang Junze speculated, upon realizing Wang Junze was charging at him, Chi Xiao did not continue to hide but instead burst out from among the surrounding Bear Demons, delivering a ferocious punch towards Wang Junze!

Boom!

In an instant, the sword edge in Wang Junze's hand collided fiercely with Chi Xiao's fist. The terrifying power instantly forced Wang Junze to retreat, and it was evident that in such a direct collision, Wang Junze's strength was far inferior to Chi Xiao's.

"Wang Junze, I heard Jing Yuan also suffered at your hands. Now it seems... you're nothing special after all!"

Showing a contemptuous smile, Chi Xiao mocked disdainfully, "With such little strength, you dare to provoke me... coming to court death?"

Indeed!

The main reason Chi Xiao was willing to personally fight Wang Junze was largely due to Jing Yuan.

Previously, when they first met Chi Xiao, he mentioned that he was acquainted with Jing Yuan.

You see, in the battle of the relics back then, Jing Yuan lost. This fact couldn't be hidden, and given Jing Yuan's nature, he wouldn't bother hiding it. Thus, if Chi Xiao was familiar with Jing Yuan or their statuses were similar, he would definitely want to kill Wang Junze himself to boast to Jing Yuan.

"Looks like your relationship with Jing Yuan is not that great, or else... he should have warned you not to let me have the chance to kill you!"

With a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, Wang Junze spoke calmly.

This statement was speculative, but its more significant purpose was to provoke Chi Xiao.

After all, if Chi Xiao wanted to avoid the battle, it would be difficult for Wang Junze to fight him without dealing with the Bear Demons first.

But if he could anger Chi Xiao, it would be much easier to have the chance to duel him.

"You really are as annoying as Jing Yuan!"

With a hint of annoyance in his eyes, Chi Xiao took a step forward and attacked Wang Junze again, sneering, "I will personally twist your head off and throw it to Jing Yuan, to show him the difference between me and him!"

Buzz!

The sword edge tilted slightly upwards, and Wang Junze blocked Chi Xiao's attack once more, only to be forced back a few steps again, even spitting out a mouthful of blood, suffering minor injuries.

"Trash, didn't you want to kill me? Come on, keep fighting!"

Taking another step forward, Chi Xiao pursued relentlessly, each punch heavier than the last, driving Wang Junze back repeatedly.

But Chi Xiao didn't notice that while Wang Junze seemed to be continuously retreating, he was gradually avoiding the surrounding Bear Demons, luring Chi Xiao to the open space beside them.

Now's the time!

Almost simultaneously, a gleam of determination flashed in Wang Junze's eyes. His True Qi burst forth, and with one sword, he slashed towards Chi Xiao's vital points!

Strangulation!

Without any hesitation, Wang Junze unleashed his strongest sword with full force the moment he lured the opponent out!

Chi Xiao's strength was too overwhelming. In a normal attack, let alone victory, even breaking through Chi Xiao's defense was hard.

The only opportunity to defeat the opponent was to exploit Chi Xiao's underestimation of him, launching an all-out surprise attack to severely wound Chi Xiao before he could react, which might make it possible to capture Chi Xiao and force the Demon Race powerhouses behind him to appear.

Wang Junze chose the timing of this sword exceedingly well.

Even Chi Xiao, let alone Xiong Ying and Ni Liang watching from a distance, failed to notice any anomaly.

After all, Wang Junze's cultivation in the Refining Spirit Realm was so deceptive that those who hadn't seen him fight could hardly imagine the terror of this sword!

The Water Sword Intent suddenly erupted!

The sword was like a tide!

This sword was like a dam breaking, with terrifying Sword Intent and Sword Qi, combined with all of Wang Junze's strength, erupting in an instant, coming too fast!

By the time Chi Xiao sensed something amiss, it was already too late!

"Poof!"

Instinctively lifting his arm to block, but this time, it was no longer a single sword leaving a mere white mark on him. The full-force explosion of Wang Junze was indeed terrifying; with a single sword, he directly severed one of Chi Xiao's arms!

The Sword Momentum did not diminish, continuing to slash towards Chi Xiao's chest!

With this obstruction, Chi Xiao finally reacted, letting out a furious roar. The Demon Qi within him suddenly burst forth, transforming into a turbulent force, colliding head-on with Wang Junze.

It must be said, Chi Xiao's strength was indeed formidable. Apart from his incredibly powerful physical body, the abundant Demon Qi was absolutely capable of easily killing an ordinary Heaven-Stepping powerhouse.

Even with the Strangulation sword catching him off guard, it still couldn't kill Chi Xiao.

However, it seemed Wang Junze was already prepared. Just as Chi Xiao's Demon Qi erupted and crashed over, the sword techniques seamlessly transitioned to the Fifth Sword of Chess Swordsmanship's endgame!

In an instant, all the power rolled back in a flash!

This sword was the true fatal strike!

Chi Xiao could never have imagined that the power he unleashed would rebound, becoming a deadly threat targeting himself.
