Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Dueling with Twin Swords

Surrounding them were the sounds of fighting and screaming, as well as the low growls of wild beasts, indicating that the martial arts experts were on the brink of collapse just by listening.

Jian Shen and the leader of Xuanjian Sect remained indifferent, as they were facing the most formidable enemy and couldn’t spare the effort to help.

Lord Xiong wore an expression of disdain, spreading his arms with a smile, "What’s the matter? You really want to kill me, don’t you? Then I’ll give you a chance, let you stab me with all your might."

"What?" Jian Shen, seeing Lord Xiong so confident and composed, couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Still appearing at ease, Lord Xiong said, "Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t fight back. If you don’t trust me, you can use wooden spikes, like those used against vampires, to come at me."

Jian Shen frowned. Lord Xiong could stand in the sunlight, which meant he was fundamentally different from vampires; that is, he wasn’t afraid of wooden spikes. Still, Jian Shen thought it was worth a try—what if it worked?

So Jian Shen grabbed a wooden spike and strode forward boldly, bravely attacking.

The leader of Xuanjian Sect didn’t rush to make a move, wanting to size up the situation while also encouraging Jian Shen, hoping he could defeat the enemy in one strike.

Jian Shen’s gaze was resolute, his steps were masculine, his actions swift, and without hesitation, he advanced to Lord Xiong and thrust the wooden spike into the area of his heart.

"Is Lord Xiong truly not resisting?" The leader of Xuanjian Sect watched in astonishment, his palms sweating, knowing that Lord Xiong must have full confidence to act this way.

There was Lord Xiong, looking unharmed, the corners of his mouth turned up, making Jian Shen incredibly nervous, prompting him to quickly follow up with another stab.

"I said I’d only give you one chance." After speaking, Lord Xiong raised his hand to strike, but Jian Shen dodged it swiftly.

Lord Xiong didn’t rush to pursue Jian Shen but instead casually pulled out the wooden spike in front of Jian Shen and healed the wound rapidly. His nonchalant demeanor seemed to be telling Jian Shen it was futile, whatever he did.

Jian Shen immediately realized that this Lord Xiong was perhaps more difficult to deal with than a vampire.

"What comes around goes around, now it’s my turn," said Lord Xiong, moving quickly and attacking directly.

Jian Shen was also fast, moving rapidly while swinging his sword fiercely. His strokes were as powerful as mountains and seas, creating countless wounds on Lord Xiong’s body in the blink of an eye, flesh flying everywhere.

However, Lord Xiong didn’t care at all, punching Jian Shen with such force that he was sent flying, coughing up blood.

It was at this moment that the leader of Xuanjian Sect joined the fray, aiming a heavy slash at Lord Xiong’s back.

"You traitor, still daring to court death, such courage," Lord Xiong turned around, grabbed the treasured sword, and in front of the leader of Xuanjian Sect, snapped it in half.

The leader of Xuanjian Sect lost color in his face, immediately retreating. Just from this brief exchange, he already understood the huge gap in strength between them.

Just as Lord Xiong was about to demonstrate his skill, a sharp Jian Qi came shooting over, piercing through Lord Xiong’s head and causing his consciousness to pause momentarily, his body freezing.

The opportunity lasted for only a split second. Jian Shen and the leader of Xuanjian Sect exchanged a look, then both charged at Lord Xiong, drawing their swords rapidly in the blink of an eye.

A stream of fresh blood spurted out as Lord Xiong’s head hit the ground, followed by his body falling stiffly.

"Did it work?" Jian Shen and the leader of the Xuanjian Sect stared intently at Lord Xiong’s corpse, thinking that after all this, could he still not be killed?

However, a bizarre scene unfolded: Lord Xiong’s head and body ignited into fierce flames, which quickly merged into one, and a figure slowly stood up within the fire.

"How is this possible?" Jian Shen and the leader of the Xuanjian Sect watched with incredulous eyes, their hearts dominated by fear.

The flames disappeared, and Lord Xiong stood perfectly fine before them, smiling, "What’s so surprising? I told you I couldn’t be killed, but you didn’t believe me. Regretting now, aren’t you?"

"Regret my ass. Even if I am to die in battle today, I will not retreat a single step," Jian Shen positioned himself for an all-out effort, and under his inspiration, the leader of the Xuanjian Sect also adopted a do-or-die attitude.

"Good, I like it when you struggle in the face of death, otherwise it’s no fun at all." With that, Lord Xiong charged forward, his primary target being to take down the relatively weaker leader of the Xuanjian Sect.

"Looking down on me?" The leader of the Xuanjian Sect swung his treasured sword in rapid succession, forming a dense sword net, impenetrable as it was tight.

Lord Xiong burst into loud laughter, "One sword destroyed by me, and your second sword is just as useless." Having said this, with one punch, Lord Xiong broke through the sword net, shattered the treasured sword and was about to strike the leader of the Xuanjian Sect when another even faster, sharper treasured sword arrived.

"Nice one!" Lord Xiong attempted to grab the sword, only to have his palm pierced, and with the tip of the sword came an explosion of Jian Qi, penetrating his body.

After striking successfully, Jian Shen immediately shouted, "What are you waiting for, act now!"

The leader of the Xuanjian Sect quickly came to his senses, gathered his power in his palms, and then fiercely struck at Lord Xiong’s side. The impact caused Lord Xiong’s head to buzz, immediately feeling dizzy and overwhelmed.

Jian Shen continued without pause, delivering another sharp sword thrust that caused a deep wound on Lord Xiong’s body, from which blood surged out instantly.

Though Lord Xiong could not be killed, he still felt pain and roared in anger. The wound healed in an instant, and he counterattacked, punching Jian Shen away and kicking the leader of the Xuanjian Sect aside.

"You two are doing quite well." Lord Xiong was not only strong but perfectly immortal, unkillable.

The leader of the Xuanjian Sect realized that no matter how hard he tried, it was futile; his opponent was not human.

But Jian Shen didn’t give up, "Don’t lose heart. Although he can’t be killed, we can still stop him. As long as the others take care of the vampire, we can focus our strength on capturing him and lock him in the dungeon. It’s not impossible to confine him forever."

Inspired by these words, the leader of the Xuanjian Sect clenched his jaws, gripping the remnant of his weapon.

Lord Xiong frowned momentarily but soon wore a dismissive expression, "Do you think you can hold out until someone from the outside comes to help you? And one more thing; I forgot to tell you, Xue Wang is also quite formidable. I’m afraid your people will be exterminated, unable to provide you any support."

Hearing the screams outside, Jian Shen and the leader of the Xuanjian Sect could tell that the situation was indeed dire; perhaps the heroes of the martial arts world had been wiped out.

"Haha, what will you do, leader of the Xuanjian Sect? I’ll give you another chance. Help me kill Jian Shen, and I will forgive and forget. You’ll still be one of us," Lord Xiong extended an olive branch again, with a look of eager anticipation and smugness.

The leader of the Xuanjian Sect, disdainful, shook his head, "Sorry, I might be afraid of death, but I care more about my dignity. Living in infamy for eternity is something you can do; I simply cannot."
