The twin Earth-element Dark Death Guards' hands recoiled as if struck by lightning, black smoke rising from their palms. But there was no time for pain—Ji Dong's sword had already descended. The blazing Sword of the Fire God slashed through the sky, leaving two trails of golden light in its wake. Two heads flew upward, severed cleanly, and the sinister black aura surrounding them melted away upon contact with the sword's radiant gold, vanishing instantly as though snow under sunlight. In the blink of an eye, the bodies of the two Dark Death Guards were engulfed in golden flames, swiftly consumed by the radiance.
Who could have foreseen this outcome? Even the Bright Heavenly Stem Saints stood transfixed in awe, not just the enemies. Ji Dong had faced two strikes head-on without sustaining damage, and with a single swing, felled two Dark Death Guards. It was simply unbelievable.
