The heart of the Soul Crushing Saint Master jolted. He saw the mocking smiles blooming in the eyes of Huo Lao and the Ghost Formation Saint Master, as if they already knew what he was about to do. Yet, they surprisingly did not stop him from attacking the prohibition formation. Were they not afraid he would kill some Young Master inside?
As this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt a chill in the surroundings. The Soul Crushing Saint Master inexplicably shivered, and a breath of deathly aura rushed towards him.
Having experienced many battle formations, the Soul Crushing Saint Master realized that something was amiss. He let out a loud shout, and dense black gas surged out from within him, wrapping around him in an attempt to resist the killing intent coming from who knows where.
Just as he finished this, he saw a brilliant knife light shining within the prohibition formation. Grasping the knife light was a huge, powerful figure, exuding the aura of a late-stage Saint Master. He suddenly launched an attack from within the prohibition formation, the knife light soaring to the heavens, tearing through the void, and instantly arriving before him.
"Another late-stage Saint Master, what the hell have I provoked?"
The Soul Crushing Saint Master's eyes nearly popped out, unable to contain his curse.
What he witnessed today exceeded everything he had experienced in his life.
First, he encountered a late-stage Saint Master proficient in formations; that was acceptable. Although formation masters were rare in the Heavenly Realm, they were not entirely impossible to find. But then, another late-stage Saint Master, who had cultivated the Law, emerged, seemingly having just broken through not long ago.
But now, from that formation space, a late-stage Saint Master of the knife path emerged. What drove the Soul Crushing Saint Master insane was that this knife path late-stage Saint Master also appeared to have just broken through not long ago and seemed very fresh.
Had he intruded into the nest of late-stage Saint Masters?
What the hell was inside that formation?
The Soul Crushing Saint Master was completely stunned.
Just as he was lost in shock and anger, the knife king Mu Zhifeng's knife energy had already violently slashed out, the terrifying knife energy seeming to traverse the distance of the void, directly arriving before him.
This knife contained the lifelong absolute skill of the knife king Mu Zhifeng. At the moment of his breakthrough, faced with the invasion of external enemies, under the blessings of his spirit, he unexpectedly grasped the supreme secret of the knife path, comprehending the true life-and-death skill of the void knife intent.
Puff! A bright knife light swept past, dreamlike and illusory, intoxicating and lifeless. The Soul Crushing Saint Master was completely immersed in this knife. It seemed as if this knife was not in this void, but like a dream. He wanted to break free, but under the bindings of the Ghost Formation Saint Master and Huo Lao, he couldn't move at all, only able to let that knife light sweep across his body.
Whoosh! The knife king Mu Zhifeng struck down with his knife, standing there holding it, maintaining that proud posture as if he had never struck.
Opposite him, the Soul Crushing Saint Master stood there in a daze.
"What beautiful knife light!"
His body stiffened, whispering a phrase. Puff, suddenly blood spurted from his head like a fountain, and with the blood spouting out, the Soul Crushing Saint Master’s body was suddenly split in two. The crimson blood surged from his remains, his organs scattered, and then, under the knife energy, gradually vanished into nothingness.
The Soul Crushing Saint Master, who had caused chaos in Dongguang City and the surrounding void tide sea for many years, had died just like that, without any clarity.
"You two are truly useless, almost letting this person disrupt the Young Master's breakthrough."
The knife king Mu Zhifeng stood holding his knife, coldly stating, as aloof as a statue.
