"Wh-what... What just happened?" The surrounding Martial Artists stared, stunned, at the Diamond Death Warrior that had crashed into the main hall doors of the Saint Emperor Sect. They couldn’t process what had just happened. A single punch—a seemingly casual punch from Shen Haoran—actually held such terrifying power.

Xue Jian watched Shen Haoran’s back, a bitter taste filling his mouth. He knew the Diamond Death Warrior’s strength. A casual swing of its saber could sever his arm; he was no match for the Death Warrior at all. Yet Shen Haoran’s seemingly effortless punch had sent it flying. The gap between them was immense. ’How ridiculous. I was just telling him that a battle like this was out of his league, and now he’s the one who just saved my life.’

ROAR...

Just as Xue Jian was wallowing in his bitterness, the Diamond Death Warrior that had been knocked away roared and climbed back to its feet. Shen Haoran’s previous attack hadn’t caused it any damage at all. The Diamond Armor on the Death Warrior was simply too tough. In fact, not only had Shen Haoran failed to injure it, but he had also provoked its vicious aura. The Ghost Head Saber in its hand had turned completely scarlet, and a dense, deathly energy swirled around its body.

’Tch, what a pain.’ Shen Haoran glanced at the rampaging Death Warrior, the corner of his mouth twitching. He then looked down at the trembling Xue Jian, kicked him out of the plaza, and said coolly, "This next part of the fight isn’t for you. Just watch."

Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, Xue Jian found them extremely familiar. Weren’t those the exact words he had said to Shen Haoran earlier?

ROAR...

After Shen Haoran kicked Xue Jian away, the Diamond Death Warrior roared and charged, enveloping Shen Haoran in its immense pressure.

Sensing the terrifying pressure, Shen Haoran showed no sign of panic. Instead, a slight smile touched his lips. He loosened up his body and fell into a combat stance.

"If you want to play, then I’ll play with you!" Shen Haoran snorted. In a flash, he shot forward to meet the Diamond Death Warrior. Their figures collided in the center of the plaza like two massive meteorites. A powerful shockwave erupted, instantly kicking up a cloud of dust and debris!

In an instant, the entire plaza was shrouded in dust. Fierce battles had erupted in all six locations. Jian Wushuang, Xue Shitian, Wuqing, and Ouyang Shaoyu proved worthy of their title as the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes. As the Diamond Death Warriors unleashed their full power, the four heroes no longer held back. Immense auras burst from them, revealing that they all had one foot in the Spirit Aspect Stage. With their every move, space itself seemed to tremble.

Compared to the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes, Shen Haoran’s fight was far more brutal. It was almost entirely a close-quarters brawl, with barely a ripple of Spiritual Power to be felt. The sickening thuds of fist meeting flesh made the hearts of the spectators outside the plaza pound with excitement. Although Shen Haoran had inherited the legacy of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he lacked a suitable Spiritual Artifact. The longsword he formed from Fire Spirit Black Obsidian wasn’t enough to break the Diamond Death Warrior’s defense. Therefore, Shen Haoran could only channel his Sword Intent into various parts of his body and launch a frenzied assault against the Death Warrior. By now, the Diamond Death Warrior’s armor was already covered in white Sword Marks. It seemed it wouldn’t be long before Shen Haoran broke through its defense.

Meanwhile, on another side, a dozen or so Martial Artists were tying down the last Diamond Death Warrior. However, the gap in their strength was too great. The group of Martial Artists couldn’t gain any advantage and were steadily losing ground. If this continued, there would be casualties. The moment casualties occurred, their formation would instantly collapse. If that Death Warrior were freed up, Shen Haoran and the others would be in danger.

’Looks like we need to end this fight quickly!’ The Northern Domain’s Four Heroes and Shen Haoran all realized the gravity of the situation, and their attacks immediately grew sharper.

Watching the battles in the plaza, the disciples outside couldn’t help but gulp. Such a fierce fight had long surpassed the limits of a Spirit Marquis Tier Martial Artist. It was one thing for the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes, but they never expected Shen Haoran to be on par with them. He was only a Tier Five Spirit Marquis, yet he was able to match the Northern Domain’s Four Heroes, who were all on the verge of the Spirit Aspect Stage!

"Who do you guys think will finish their fight first?" a disciple outside the plaza asked timidly, watching the intense battles within.

"Xue Shitian, of course," another disciple said. "His title as the number one in the Northern Domain isn’t for nothing. And based on how the fights are going now, Xue Shitian has a much bigger advantage than the others!"

"Really? I feel like... the first one to finish will be Shen Haoran," the previous disciple said, gulping. His own voice sounded like he didn’t quite believe it himself.

"Shen Haoran? No way!" Hearing this, everyone reacted with disbelief. But they didn’t dare jump to conclusions. Shen Haoran’s previous performance had already proven them wrong countless times; they weren’t about to make that mistake again.

ROAR... While the Martial Artists were talking, a massive roar erupted from within the plaza. The Death Warrior fighting Shen Haoran raised its Ghost Head Saber high. The close-quarters battle had completely exhausted its patience. It was now going to cleave this human in two.

As the Diamond Death Warrior raised its Ghost Head Saber, the space around the plaza began to tremble. Countless streams of deathly energy converged on the Ghost Head Saber like a tide. In an instant, the massive phantom of a blade appeared above the Death Warrior’s head. The terrifying pressure made it hard for everyone to breathe.

Watching the Diamond Death Warrior raise its Ghost Head Saber, Shen Haoran’s expression turned extremely grim. This time, the Diamond Death Warrior’s attack could not be underestimated.

"DIE!" After a moment, the Diamond Death Warrior roared, and its Ghost Head Saber came slashing down. A blade projection, several dozen feet wide, shot toward Shen Haoran like a bolt of lightning. The violent gale pinned Shen Haoran’s body firmly to the ground, rendering him unable to move. The next moment, amid the terrified cries of the crowd, it struck Shen Haoran’s body directly.

BOOM!

A tremendous roar echoed as the entire plaza began to shake. Countless bits of rubble were blasted into the air. The once-solid ground was now a scene of utter devastation. Countless cracks as thick as an arm spread out from where Shen Haoran stood. A massive trench, over ten feet wide, now lay between Shen Haoran and the Death Warrior—a terrifying sight to behold...
