Chapter 1266: Chapter 1260: Going to Die All the Same

However, there are no "what-ifs" in this world.

Even though Yang Mingzhu’s heart was wracked with regret, reality would not change for her sake.

Those ten streaks of sword energy, moving faster than the eye could perceive, instantly closed in on Li Changlin.

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

All the sword energy struck Li Changlin’s body. Though the sword energy was formless, the collision with his body produced a series of metallic clashing sounds. With the Power of Six Dragons as his attack strength, Li Changlin’s defense naturally matched that level of power.

However, Chen Haixuan wielded the Power of Seven Dragons, and the sword energy itself was originally Li Changlin’s killing technique, now used by Chen Haixuan to counter and destroy him.

Therefore, enhanced by the Domain, the sword energy’s strength had long surpassed Li Changlin’s original killing move.

Under such circumstances, how could Li Changlin possibly withstand it?

In an instant, his body was blasted thirty meters back, blood spewing from his mouth, clearly suffering severe internal injuries.

"Li Changlin, what else can you say for yourself!" Chen Haixuan stood in the void, coldly glaring at Li Changlin.

He didn’t immediately pursue the kill. Li Changlin held a thousand Holy Fruits and a hundred Grass Revival Pills—treasures Chen Haixuan desperately coveted.

If he could obtain these, his strength would increase by at least a hundred thousand pounds.

By then, while he might not fully reach Inch Strength, he would surpass it.

And due to the rules of the Shenlong Continent, no Inch Force Experts dared show themselves in this world.

With that, even if an Inch Force Expert were to appear, there would be nothing to fear; he would become the most powerful warrior under the heavens.

Gazing at the smug Chen Haixuan, Li Changlin remained expressionless. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a calm demeanor and said in a low voice, "Chen Haixuan, your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations. At half-step Inch Strength, you are truly beyond what I can contend with right now. But if you think you already have a guaranteed victory, then you couldn’t be more mistaken!"

"What!" Chen Haixuan froze for a moment, a mocking smile creeping onto his lips as he remarked, "Li Changlin, stop stalling for time. From the moment we began fighting, I had already arranged for my family’s experts to seal off the area around Dragon Stone Mountain. There is absolutely no way for anyone to teleport out information from here."

"So, if I kill you, no one will ever know about it, correct?" Li Changlin gazed at him calmly, then suddenly raised his hand, and a Little Sword inexplicably appeared in his palm.

"What is that?" Chen Haixuan’s eyes narrowed, and an ominous feeling arose in his heart.

At that moment, Li Changlin suddenly let out an eerie laugh.

Then, with no warning, he opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Little Sword.

Immediately, the Little Sword began to tremble violently in Li Changlin’s palm, emitting an oppressive killing intent that filled the air.

"Go!" Li Changlin held the Little Sword and suddenly raised his left hand, flicking its hilt with his finger.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the Little Sword shot straight upward, exploding forth from Li Changlin’s palm.

The moment it left his hand, the Little Sword radiated a dazzling sword glow.

The brilliance of the sword glow illuminated the heavens. As it launched from Li Changlin’s hand, it rapidly transformed into a ten-zhang-long Divine Sword, slashing fiercely toward Chen Haixuan.

Swish!

As the sword struck out, a flood of silver light swept the sky, closing in terrifyingly on Chen Haixuan in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, retreat!" Chen Haixuan’s expression changed drastically. He could feel the overwhelming aura—a power far beyond what this moment in time should possess.

Chen Haixuan estimated that the power emanating from this sword had already reached Inch Strength—no, it had even surpassed Inch Strength’s realm. He couldn’t hope to contend with it.

Retreat!

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Haixuan made the prudent choice to withdraw.

But how could his speed compare to the Divine Sword?

In less than a fraction of a moment, the Divine Sword had already streaked past him, a splash of fresh blood marking its deadly path.

Ugh!

Chen Haixuan let out a muffled grunt, reaching out as if to grasp something.

However, at this moment, all the energy within his body seemed to have been completely drained. On his neck, a paper-thin wound appeared, from which an endless stream of blood gushed forth.

And yet, this was not the most terrifying part.

Chen Haixuan, as a half-step Inch Strength pinnacle warrior, shouldn’t have been fatally wounded even with his throat cut. The vitality of someone at his level was beyond ordinary comprehension.

However, the wound on his neck couldn’t be healed with Internal Qi.

Even worse, as time passed, the flesh around the wound began to rot, decaying rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, a putrid stench filled the void.

At this moment, Li Changlin naturally wouldn’t stand by idly.

With a cold humph, he moved his fingers, and the Divine Sword instantly spun and slashed toward Chen Haixuan once again.

Swish!

The Divine Sword paused mid-air, executed a graceful turn, and then shot toward Chen Haixuan’s back with blinding speed.

"Damn it!" Chen Haixuan cursed in fury and panic, his body shifting in an attempt to dodge.

But how could his movements match the speed of the Divine Sword?

In a single breath, before Chen Haixuan could move an inch, the Divine Sword pierced through him with overwhelming force.

Thud!

The sword drove deep into Chen Haixuan’s back, its gleaming tip emerging at his heart.

"How... how is this possible?" Chen Haixuan stared at the blade protruding from his chest, disbelief filling his eyes.

Li Changlin gazed at him indifferently, raising his hand and forming a fist in one swift motion.

Then, in a chilling voice, he commanded, "Detonate!"

Boom!

The Divine Sword erupted in a blinding explosion within Chen Haixuan’s body.

His entire being was obliterated in the blast, reduced to countless fragments.

Ugh!

Witnessing this, the onlookers on the ground gagged, unable to suppress their nausea.

Chen Haixuan had completely vanished into the void.

Li Changlin landed on the ground, and with a flick of his wrist, retrieved a Minor Rejuvenation Pill from the System, which he promptly consumed.

Whoosh!

After consuming the elixir, his internal injuries showed signs of recovery.

The battle just now had revealed his shortcomings and granted him a newfound understanding of half-step Inch Strength.

He understood that while Chen Haixuan was formidable, he was merely an average half-step Inch Strength expert.
