The flames roiled!

Wang Junze was trapped within the flames, as if truly enveloped by fire. The terrifying high temperature alone would be enough to burn an ordinary cultivator to death.

But this was only the beginning!

The next moment, the flames suddenly surged, like a tongue of fire, directly targeting Wang Junze's face.

Almost instantly, a layer of profound ice appeared on Wang Junze's body, enveloping him and temporarily resisting the terrifying flames!

Profound Ice Body Tempering Technique!

This itself was a top-tier body tempering technique. Plus, the profound ice sword in Wang Junze's hand exuded a chill, which could fend off the attack.

However, even so, the profound ice on his body was slowly melting.

If unable to escape in time, he would still be burned to death in the flames!

Hoo!

He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and in the blink of an eye, the sword intent within Wang Junze erupted!

Rain Sword Intent!

The True Qi within his body condensed into rain, swirling around Wang Junze, but under the blazing heat, these raindrops rapidly evaporated!

This, of course, doesn't mean the Rain Sword Intent is inferior to the Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect.

If the Rain Sword Intent was being wielded by Su Yuwei with the Rain Talisman, the rain could easily extinguish the flames.

The path doesn't distinguish between high and low, the difference lies in the person wielding these powers.

In terms of strength and comprehension of this Path Realm, Wang Junze was indeed not as skilled as Yang Junjie.

The True Disciple of the Four Symbols Sect was a genius, and moreover, a Great Realm higher than Wang Junze. Such a gap was not easily bridged.

As a result, it naturally seemed somewhat restrained.

However, Wang Junze never believed he had an absolute strength advantage!

His greatest reliance wasn't his realm, but his Sword Dao!

"Buzz!"

The sword edge quivered slightly, and within a step, Wang Junze accelerated suddenly, slashing towards Yang Junjie!

Sword like the Profound Moon!

This time, Wang Junze didn't choose Chess Swordsmanship, but the Profound Moon Sword Technique.

In a life-and-death struggle, Wang Junze rarely used the Profound Moon Sword Technique, but this did not mean his comprehension of the Profound Moon Sword Intent was weak. Whether ascending the Sword Tier or cultivating in the Sword Pool for half a year, his understanding of the Profound Moon Sword Technique deepened.

In the sect competition, he easily defeated disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect in the same realm with just the Profound Moon Sword Technique, proving his mastery in it.

At that moment, Wang Junze instinctively sensed that both Rain Sword Intent and Water Sword Intent seemed restrained by the Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect, so he immediately switched to the Profound Moon Sword Intent without hesitation.

"Chirp!"

For a split second, Wang Junze seemed to hear a clear cry!

Yang Junjie slashed out, seemingly conjuring a Vermilion Bird in the air that crashed fiercely toward Wang Junze.

Vermilion Bird Devouring the Moon!

As a disciple of the Four Symbols Sect, Yang Junjie was familiar with the sword techniques of the Profound Moon Sword Sect. Seeing Wang Junze use the Profound Moon Sword Technique, he wasn't surprised. Instead, a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes.

If Wang Junze had used that peculiar Chess Swordsmanship, he would be wary, but what was the Profound Moon Sword Technique?!

In a breath, the Vermilion Bird's shadow swallowed the moon-white sword shadow!

In Yang Junjie's view, Wang Junze was utterly at his wit's end, and from that moment, the battle was without suspense.

However, just as the Vermilion Bird's shadow swallowed the sword shadow, it suddenly exploded!

"Fool, can you swallow my sword?!"

With a cold laugh, Wang Junze suddenly accelerated, the terrifying power instantly erupting, the exploding Sword Qi transforming once again into countless Sword Rain, piercing through the Vermilion Bird's shadow, ruthlessly aiming for Yang Junjie!

To outsiders, the Chess Swordsmanship was just those five exquisite sword techniques.

But in reality, this understanding was far from the truth.

The essence of Chess Swordsmanship has never been sword techniques, but rather the anticipation and perfect layout of predicting the enemy's moves, like a game of chess.

From their earlier exchanges, sensing the fiery aura in Yang Junjie's True Qi, Wang Junze understood he cultivated the Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect and knew that in encounters between the Four Symbols Sect and Profound Moon Sword Sect disciples, they often won more than lost, so they must have techniques to counter the Profound Moon Sword Technique.

Therefore, he intentionally used the Profound Moon Sword Technique, waiting for the opponent to take the bait!

Yang Junjie thought the Vermilion Bird Devouring the Moon easily countered Wang Junze's sword technique, but he was unaware that the moment the Vermilion Bird swallowed the Profound Moon Sword Qi, he had fallen into a trap.

The Profound Moon Sword Intent was just a façade; hidden within was still the Water Sword Intent!

When the Profound Moon shattered, it immediately transformed into the Water Sword Intent, not only shattering the Vermilion Bird's shadow but also carrying the broken power of fire, reversing towards Yang Junjie!

Strangulation!

The Chess Swordsmanship technique was seamlessly executed, and in an instant, reversed the offensive and defensive positions.

In a life-and-death struggle, the outcome often hinges on mere moments.

So-called battles that drag on for hundreds or thousands of moves to determine victory have never been true life-and-death struggles, at least... not in the realm of Wang Junze and Yang Junjie.

As long as a flaw is captured, victory or defeat, life or death, is determined in an instant!

Boom!

Amidst a terrifying roar, the terrifying sword aura suddenly pierced into Yang Junjie's body!

A single move mistaken leads to total defeat!

Yang Junjie didn't even have time to respond before his body was pierced by the sword edge, numerous strands of Sword Qi invading his body, slicing through the Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect and extinguishing all his vitality!

When the surrounding flames dissipated, all that remained to be seen was a broken corpse, accompanied by the lingering mournful cry of a Vermilion Bird!

Instant defeat!

While others' battles had just begun, Wang Junze had already instantaneously defeated a Four Symbols Sect genius!

This scene also profoundly shocked everyone's spirits!

Back when Wang Junze killed Yang Junjie within the Profound Moon Sword Sect, it could be said Yang Junjie was caught off guard, but this battle was an actual cross-realm slaying.

With Refining God Slash Heaven-Stepping!

If not for witnessing it firsthand, who dared to believe such a crazy result?!

Not to mention the disciples of both the Profound Moon Sword Sect and the Four Symbols Sect, even the Deserters around Jing Yuan involuntarily flinched and looked at Wang Junze with apprehension!

However, for the current battle situation, defeating Yang Junjie was far from the end.

In fact, Wang Junze had no intention of stopping.

Wang Junze was acutely aware of his own state, knowing that executing the Strangulation slash meant his True Qi was depleted by at least eighty to ninety percent. Once the power of this slash was exhausted, he could scarcely contend with any other Four Symbols Sect disciple!

Thus, at the moment he killed Yang Junjie, Wang Junze immediately struck again, transforming Strangulation into the Endgame, carrying this power and the remnants of the Vermilion Bird Dharma Aspect's fire power, boldly advancing towards the Four Symbols Sect disciples before him!
