The power of this strike far exceeded Ou Kfeng himself! In an unexpected turn, with a series of cracking sounds, all of Ou Kfeng's ribs shattered, and his internal organs suffered severe injuries simultaneously!
With a gasp, he tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, the bright red splatter mingling with chunks of internal organ fragments!
Ou Kfeng felt a chill in his heart! At that moment, he could hardly feel the pain in his body; all he felt was one thing:
He had been deceived; this was the real ambush! A deadly ambush!
It turned out that the opponent indeed had a lord-level expert! In an instant, regret surged in Ou Kfeng's heart: If he had just left from the start, who could have stopped him?
Though this ambushing expert was strong, killing him was still far from achievable! So he could only wait for a sneak attack, aiming for a one-hit kill!
But realizing this now was already too late...
One strike, and it was a deadly injury!
All of Chu Yang's theatrics, all the purposes behind everything, were to set up Xie Zhiqiu's strike!
Ou Kfeng was simply too cautious, overly so; such a person would not be easy to kill for anyone!
Because he left no chance for others to deal with him!
Just look at earlier when Chu Yang dared to provoke him at the risk of his life, with over two hundred experts below, yet no one dared to approach—why? Because he would run away!
Once he ran, it would become the biggest hidden danger, enough to keep one tossing and turning!
Thus, Chu Yang had to think of every way to keep him in place.
His caution was indeed a strength, but being overly cautious became a weakness!
So, time and again, Chu Yang persistently provoked, deceived, and toyed with him, finally managing to ignite Ou Kfeng's anger bit by bit.
When he delivered that slap, he felt completely confident: Ou Kfeng couldn’t run away!
Such an insult, no matter how tolerant he claimed to be, he couldn’t bear it.
Sure enough, Ou Kfeng was roused to real anger!
But Chu Yang was still not at ease; he continued to test him a few more times, completely dispelling Ou Kfeng's last doubts. Everything naturally fell into place at that moment.
This process, seemingly complicated, was indispensable. Even if Ou Kfeng had just a tiny bit of caution left, this plan would not have succeeded!
First, to toy with him and enrage him; then to toy again and anger him more; further to toy and humiliate, leading him to rage even further; and ultimately, the final provocation would leave him devoid of all reason and caution, allowing for one successful strike!
In this, Chu Yang was essentially dancing on a tightrope over a bottomless chasm! Every moment was a fatal crisis!
The gap between both sides was too vast! The difference between a Ninth Grade Throne and a Ninth Grade Imperial Throne was not as simple as the difference between a Ninth Grade Martial Sovereign and a Ninth Grade Throne!
Even the difference between a First Grade Imperial Throne and a Second Grade could be compared to that between a Ninth Grade Martial Sovereign and a Ninth Grade Throne! Moreover, the deeper one went, the greater the disparity!
Tempting such a powerful existence with such tiny strength... the dangers involved could not be summed up in just a sentence or two!
Not to mention, with Chu Yang's current strength, even wielding the Nine Calamity Sword could not harm him; this was evident!
Xie Zhiqiu had been building up her two palms for a long time and struck heavily against Ou Kfeng's body. Ou Kfeng felt as if he had been struck by lightning and spewed blood as he flew backward!
At that instant,
From the left, a sword light shot up, man and sword becoming one, the sword light sharp and fierce, crashing heavily into Ou Kfeng!
From the right, a knife light gleamed, man and knife as one, the knife light formidable and domineering, crashing heavily into Ou Kfeng's thrown body!
Gu Duxing and Dong Wushang, the Sword Emperor and Blade Emperor, struck simultaneously!
The Black Dragon Sword pierced straight into Ou Kfeng's left side and emerged from the right! The Ink Blade came slashing down from the right, the tip appearing on the left side of his body in perfect balance!
