Chess Swordsmanship, Fifth Sword, Endgame!

In an instant, all the surrounding forces seemed to converge, even the power of Dugu Feng's desperate spear was drawn in, completing this final counterattack!

The last sword of Chess Swordsmanship is indeed a defensive one. Its true essence lies in borrowing momentum, where one's own power, the force of the universe, and even the opponent's power can be wielded to launch a deadly counterstrike within the defense.

Bang!

The sword edge slashed the spear tip, instantly shattering the Godslaying Spear and simultaneously using the immense sword qi to completely destroy the Divine Soul attached to the spear by Dugu Feng!

Blood Refining Divine Weapon, Dugu Feng fused herself with the Godslaying Spear, and to deploy the Blood Sea Path Domain, she severed the Great Path, which had already reached its limit. Combined with Wang Junze's Profound Ice Sword, which is also a terrifying Divine Weapon, this led to the decisive shattering of the spear tip in one strike, achieving the ultimate kill!

Wang Junze never underestimated Dugu Feng, nor was it his first time facing a powerful figure beyond the Divine Travel Realm, how could he possibly be unprepared?

Strangulation combined with Rain Sword Intent exploded with full force. At the same time, Wang Junze was ready for a strike that might not completely kill Dugu Feng, prepared for the opponent's dying counterattack.

This Fifth Sword is indeed the final killing move!

The essence of Chess Swordsmanship lies in anticipation. Right from the start, Wang Junze predicted that someone like Dugu Feng would never be content to escape after failing, he had been waiting for her counterattack.

In fact, if Dugu Feng chose not to fight back and instead let her Divine Soul escape, in Wang Junze's current state, he would truly be powerless to pursue further.

But it was precisely because Dugu Feng refused to give up and fought back to the death that it gave Wang Junze the opportunity to employ the Fifth Sword and completely kill her.

"Young Master!"

Only at this moment did Peng Ru finally react, delighted to tears.

Dead!

Dugu Feng really is dead. From the time she was captured by Jiao Yang, Ji Liuyun had fallen into despair, his hatred for Dugu Feng continually deepening. However, now that Dugu Feng is actually killed, he feels a sense of disbelief.

"Such exquisite swordsmanship, I indeed underestimated you."

Looking at Wang Junze, even Qu Lishang could not help but softly praise him.

The sophistication of Chess Swordsmanship amazed even him.

Whether it was Dugu Feng's dying counterattack, or Wang Junze's seemingly divine masterstroke, both were perfect. This battle was far more thrilling than he had imagined.

Of course, Wang Junze's performance was undoubtedly superior, such an astonishing Sword Path Genius turned out to be a successor of the Sect, which made Qu Lishang incredibly gratified.

His face pale, Wang Junze forced himself to retreat until he stepped out of the range of the Great Nether Mirror, and then he bowed again: "Disciple Wang Junze, pays respects to Master Qu!"

The recent battle had already completely exhausted all of Wang Junze's strength, yet he still forced himself to retreat, not only to show Qu Lishang there was absolutely no malicious intent, but also to protect himself!

The current situation was far too delicate.

Although he was a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, he was not familiar with Qu Lishang, nor could he truly be trusted completely without reservation.

If Qu Lishang suspected that he had ulterior motives, he might still take the opportunity to silence him.

Similarly, if the powerful activation of the Great Nether Mirror had truly exhausted Qu Lishang's strength, he would also worry about Wang Junze seizing the chance to kill him and seize the Great Nether Mirror.

Only by taking this opportunity to retreat could both parties be at ease.

Sure enough, after seeing Wang Junze retreat, Qu Lishang's face finally showed a satisfied smile.

Earlier, even if it meant fully activating the Great Nether Mirror and deploying the Grand Forbidden, it was because he made the correct decision based on the situation, not because he truly trusted Wang Junze completely.

Only at this moment did Qu Lishang truly believe that the other party had indeed come to rescue him.

It was not doubting Wang Junze's identity as a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, but given the great stakes involved, even fellow disciples might not necessarily be trustworthy.

"Are you really Brother Zhou's disciple? How is the Sect nowadays?"

Looking at Wang Junze, Qu Lishang asked again.

Upon hearing this, Wang Junze smiled bitterly and replied: "The disciple's master is indeed the Sect Leader Zhenren, however... the current situation of the Sect is not very good."

Without much concealment, Wang Junze roughly explained the events that occurred in the Northern Domain, including Zhou Dongfei's Slaying Dao fall, forced seclusion, and his collaboration with the Judgment Department under Ximen Piaoxue's menace, leading him to the Nether Sea.

These matters, not to mention Qu Lishang, even Peng Ru and Ji Liuyun were mostly unaware of them. Just hearing Wang Junze briefly describe them conveyed the thrilling tension within.

It's no exaggeration to say, the dangers involved are no less than Wang Junze concealing his identity to assassinate Dugu Feng.

"Ximen Piaoxue, Black Mountain Demon King... well played!"

After hearing Wang Junze's account, Qu Lishang sneered coldly, with a gleam of icy murderous intent in his eyes.

"Master Qu, these accounts can be settled later. The most important thing now is to help you restore your cultivation."

Shaking his head, Wang Junze spoke softly: "Though Dugu Feng is dead, behind her is Night Spirit Demon Venerable. This Inverted Mountain may not necessarily be safe, only when Master Qu recovers his cultivation can we truly secure safety."

"How did you find your way here?"

Frowning slightly, Qu Lishang asked again.

He understood well how difficult it was to enter the Netherworld Abyss and arrive at Inverted Mountain. Normally, not to mention Wang Junze and the others, even Dugu Feng couldn't possibly get here.

If it were that easy to find Inverted Mountain, he couldn't have hidden here for over thirty years without being discovered by anyone.

"We were led here by the whale."

Wang Junze explained once more how Dugu Feng and her group arrived here.

"I see! I've seen that whale demon, but I didn't expect it would lead people into Inverted Mountain, it seems this demon may have some connection to the ancient Xuankong Temple. Alas... not to mention Xuankong Temple has lost its heritage, I have no connection with it."

Nodding slightly, Qu Lishang finally understood, but this also made things more complicated.

After pondering for a moment, Qu Lishang spoke slowly: "However, if as you said, the place is temporarily safe. Still... restoring my cultivation won't be easy."

"To recover, I need to completely refine the Great Nether Mirror. But... this disturbance from Dugu Feng worsened my injuries, and without external help, fully refining the Great Nether Mirror would take at least ten years." Sighing, Qu Lishang continued: "If Brother Zhou were not incapacitated, he could lend a hand, bringing me back to the Sect for slow refining, but now..."
