Dashing Student-Chapter 598: Man and Sword United

At the moment when Hu Ba's hand grasped the hilt of the sword, it seemed as if light between heaven and earth was devoured by an invisible force, abruptly darkening.

The originally azure sky was rapidly enveloped by a massive black cloth, the sunlight utterly obstructed, plunging the entire Luming Island into a pressingly gloomy darkness.

The instant the sword handle was in his grasp, Hu Ba's body seemed to be instantly inflated with a mysterious and powerful force, his figure visibly swelling at an explosive rate.

His muscles twisted like steel cables, prominently bulging, each and every one looking as if they contained the terrifying strength to rend mountains and split rocks.

The blue veins, like awakening dragons, writhed and surged under his skin, protruding markedly, as if unleashing endless power.

The originally pitch-black blade now emitted strange blood-colored runic lines, these lines like numerous tiny blood vessels, slowly creeping across the surface of the blade, as though this sword had suddenly come to life, greedily drawing in the vitality from its surroundings.

At the edge of the blade, a scarlet light was ebbing and flowing, that light like a freshly awakened, ravenous bloodthirsty beast, emitting an aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Witnessing this scene, all the Jianghu folks around were as if struck by an immobilization spell, instantly freezing in place, not daring to utter a single breath.

Their eyes were wide in shock and amazement, breaths turning rapid involuntarily, yet they forcibly suppressed any sound from escaping.

Because they understood very clearly in their hearts.

From the moment Hu Ba took hold of the sword, the tide of this battle had already undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

The fight today was soon to come to its ultimate conclusion!

Hu Ba was already a famously powerful Swordsman in the Jianghu, even though he had previously been at a disadvantage in the exchange with Chen Nan.

But now, he had undoubtedly stepped into the legendary realm of the Great Grandmaster, his strength undergoing a qualitative leap.

With his current prowess, what difficulty would there be in slaying Chen Nan?

"Man and Sword as One·Seven Absolute Slashes!"

Hu Ba's voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the Nine Netherworld.

His eyes were entirely covered by blood, the pupils nowhere to be seen, replaced by two burning flames.

Strange runes surfaced on his skin, each rune flickering with a dark light, as if absorbing the surrounding light.

The surface of the lake fiercely churned under his aura, water waves shooting skyward, turning into countless water snakes coiling around him.

Those water snakes were no longer mere streams of water, but tainted by Sword Energy, transformed into translucent, blood-colored blades, each emitting a chilling coldness that made one's heart tremble.

"Chen Nan, feel the true despair!" Hu Ba's voice boomed like thunder, causing the onlookers' eardrums to ache.

His figure suddenly vanished.

In the next instant, he appeared above Chen Nan's head, the long sword raised high, the blade emanating a sword light over ten meters long that seemed poised to cleave heaven and earth.

"First Slash·Sky Breaking!"

As the sword light fell, space seemed to tear apart, a piercing screech filling the air.

Before the sword light even arrived, the ground was already compressed into a deep ravine, rocks flying and dust billowing.

In Chen Nan's eyes flashed a hint of gravity, but he did not retreat.

He swiftly formed a Sealing Technique with his hands, True Qi surging wildly inside him, and a powerful aura burst forth from all around him.

His figure flickered like lightning, avoiding the direct onslaught of the sword light, but the residual energy from the sword light still shook him back continuously, the ground beneath his feet cracking and breaking apart.

"Second Slash·Earth Splitting!"

Hu Ba's voice rang out again, his figure appearing ghost-like beside Chen Nan.

The long sword swept horizontally, carving a vast crack in the ground, from which hot magma erupted, as if intent on devouring Chen Nan.

Chen Nan's movement technique was extremely fast, but he was still grazed by the blade edge, tearing his Daoist robe and leaving a deep gash on his skin.

Blood trickled down from the wound, staining his clothes red.

"Third Slash·Soul Destruction!"

Hu Ba's offensive did not cease; his figure disappeared once again.

The next moment, he appeared behind Chen Nan, thrusting his long sword directly, with a pitch-black sword energy condensed on the blade, which seemed to carry the screams of countless aggrieved souls, targeting Chen Nan's back.

Chen Nan swiftly turned around, his hands quickly forming seals, and True Qi formed a protective shield in front of him.

The collision between the sword energy and protective True Qi erupted in a deafening blast.

Cracks appeared on the protective True Qi, and it ultimately shattered.

Chen Nan's body was flung backward, a hint of blood spilling from his mouth.

"Fourth Slash·Shattering Star!"

Hu Ba's voice sounded like the whisper of the Grim Reaper as his figure once again appeared above Chen Nan.

The long sword swung down, condensing a dazzling starlight on the blade, containing destructive power, as if intending to utterly pulverize Chen Nan.

Determination flashed in Chen Nan's eyes; he bit his tongue fiercely, spraying out a mouthful of blood essence, his hands rapidly forming seals, True Qi surging wildly within him.

"Hu Ba, do you really think you can defeat me like this?" Chen Nan's voice was cold and firm, carrying an undeniable confidence.

"Fifth Slash·Slaying God!"

Hu Ba's onslaught became more ferocious, his figure flashing around Chen Nan like a phantom.

The long sword danced, condensing blood-red sword energies on the blade, each one filled with terrifying force, seemingly intent on completely tearing Chen Nan apart.

Chen Nan's figure rapidly maneuvered through the sword energies like a phantom, dodging most of the attacks.

However, there were simply too many sword energies, and despite his swift movement technique, he was still grazed by a few, his Daoist robe becoming stained with blood, giving him a ragged appearance.

"Sixth Slash·Annihilation!"

Hu Ba's voice boomed like thunder, his figure suddenly appearing directly in front of Chen Nan.

A straight thrust of his long sword, the blade condensed into a pitch-black vortex, where it seemed countless stars were being annihilated, aiming straight for Chen Nan's heart.

"Seventh Slash·Termination!"

Hu Ba's voice sounded like the whisper of the Grim Reaper, his figure suddenly appearing above Chen Nan.

With the long sword held high, the blade condensed into a tens of meters long blood-red sword energy, which seemed to carry the screams of numerous aggrieved souls, targeting Chen Nan's crown.

Determination flashed in Chen Nan's eyes; he bit his tongue fiercely, spraying out a mouthful of blood essence, his hands rapidly forming seals, True Qi surging wildly within him.

"Let it end!"

Hu Ba's voice boomed like thunder, his figure suddenly appearing directly in front of Chen Nan, the long sword slashed down through the air, with a momentum that could split even decay, aiming to cleave Chen Nan in two!

Accompanying Hu Ba's roar, the blood-red sword energy tore through the void amid everyone's terrified gazes, like a startling swan descending upon Chen Nan's forehead.

In the instant the sword energy fell, the stone tiles beneath Chen Nan's feet instantly shattered, scattering in all directions.

At the same time.

Everyone clearly saw that blood slowly emerged from Chen Nan's forehead, staining his face red···
