Chapter 625: Entering the Game Personally
In an instant, the Night Leader rehearsed countless times.
He could sense that Wu Hen's sword was going to kill him from multiple dimensions, and he had to find the blind spot of the destructive sword power within a limited time.
The Night Leader's five perceptions bloomed together, transforming his Divine Sense into billions of threads, covering the universe around him. He needed to know where the Black Divine Death Sword was coming from and how it would attack—whether it was pure power cascading down, shattering souls and breaking hearts, or turning him into nothingness!
Every angle needs vigilance. At this moment, Wu Hen's sword was already vast and boundless, like standing in an extreme desert, where the myriad stars could all turn into an unstoppable sharp blade attacking from every angle above. Even with powerful Five Senses Divine Sense, it has a computation limit, like a super brain trying to crack a complex code—solving it is only a matter of time, but he needs enough preparation.
With the Five Senses Divine Sense pushed to an outrageous level of strength, the Night Leader finally found the sole blind spot of all the sword power and swiftly moved to the only safe space. At the next instant when he became still, the Vast Sky Sword fell, and one Miracle Sword after another became the only matter in the world, filling every region in sight of the Night Leader. Although he was a high-dimensional being, standing amidst this sword power, he felt like an ant in a hailstorm, both panicked and unable to understand the source of this power.
The Night Leader gasped.
A single flaw nearly led him to eternal calamity. The Night Leader realized that against opponents like Wu Hen, he could not afford to give any chances.
Soon, the Night Leader made adjustments, spreading his perceptions densely, covering Wu Hen comprehensively without any blind spot.
From now on, even the slightest breath from Wu Hen would be caught by him. If he couldn't predict Wu Hen's sword actions ahead of time, he would be killed by him.
"Leave now!" Suddenly, Wu Hen shouted in Mingyi's direction.
Mingyi understood, without any hesitation, she unfurled the layered Xia Yu and transformed into a beautiful Vermilion Bird breaking through the darkness, flying towards the ever-transforming yin-yang Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea...
Mingyi must reach the White Sea and White Mountain in the Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea. It was here that the Night Leader ignited Destructive Fire, destroying the bridge connecting everyone to the outside world. Mingyi also needed to reverse the time in the White Sea and White Mountain area, restoring them to the moment before they were ignited, so that the entire Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea could be restored.
The Night Leader went through a brief mental strain. After all, under tremendous pressure, one can hardly calm their thoughts. When he saw Mingyi escape from his guarded boundaries to the White Sea and White Mountain, he realized that Wu Hen's sword, even if there was a blind spot, had deliberately adjusted its angle.
The Night Leader had already neared death while rehearsing the safest zone. He didn't have time to realize this safe space had actually drifted away from his guarded boundaries...
In other words, Wu Hen's thoughts were clear from the start; he never intended to defeat the Night Leader. His goal was to let humanity achieve their ultimate purpose—to witness with their own eyes, beyond Cang Chu, whether the outside possessed the Human Holy Realm.
The Night Leader's emotions began to fluctuate.
He realized this open strategy had already created an irrevocable disadvantage against him.
Indeed, the boy didn't need to defeat him. He didn't need to prove his strength to anyone, even though what they wanted required absolute power to prove.
The Night Leader watched Mingyi's departing back and momentarily forgot to intercept.
He glanced at Si Snake and the Zodiac Warriors, who also held absolute advantage in their battle against Yama...
He could remain undefeated, but what about the entire Night Nuwa Lineage?
Next, he'd have to witness his kin fall one after another. They once shared fervent courage, bravely exploring this dreadful world, climbing from the bottom to the top. It was because he didn't want to see vibrant, emotional lives leave him that he made this choice.
Suddenly, the Night Leader's eyes became resolute as if he had reached a decision.
He raised his Heavenly Chain towards Mingyi's direction, piercing through the Night Veil with a chill and releasing intense killing intent from his pupils.
He harbored lethal intent against Mingyi, ignoring Wu Hen's threat, launching a fatal strike in Mingyi's fleeing direction.
Wu Hen was shocked by the bewildering act of the Night Leader, momentarily unable to comprehend it.
It appeared he was trying to stop Mingyi, but in reality, he was exposing all his flaws.
When the terrifying Heavenly Chain seemed about to land on Mingyi, Wu Hen dared not hesitate any longer. He swung his sword horizontally at the Night Leader.
The Sword Trace resembled a white Star River, brimming with boundless energy.
If the Night Leader turned around promptly to block with the Heavenly Chain, he might have found a way to dissipate this energy. What Wu Hen didn't expect was that the Night Leader did not defend himself against Wu Hen's attack.
His entire back seemed to offer itself to be split open by Wu Hen.
Wu Hen couldn't afford to stop, nor did he have time to understand the Night Leader's actions. If he didn't kill the Night Leader, the Slaughter Heavenly Chain would land on Mingyi.
The Night Leader's killing intent didn't diminish, but intensified. It was as if he was exchanging lives with Mingyi, knowing that the only one who could repair the Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea was Mingyi; removing her, he completed his mission.
Wu Hen was even more shocked, making sure his sword didn't hesitate at all!
"Swish!!!"
A White River Sword Mark slashed across the sky, dividing the expanse into two realms along this sword line.
The Night Leader's head remained in one sky zone while his body lay in another, followed by crimson blood spraying out, forming a blood-colored begonia above the White Sea and White Mountain.
When the sword edge sliced through the Night Leader's neck, it was without resistance, simpler than killing an unevolved mortal.
Wu Hen maintained his sword-holding stance, releasing his Four Senses and started rehearsing, watching the Night Leader whose head and body were separated in midair, as well as the conspicuous blood-colored begonia. He attempted to wait, wait for the Night Leader to display some ability to reattach his head and body with the aid of his blood.
At this realm, possessing such ability is not rare. Some Gods even found their evolution path from worms, able to regenerate a complete self as long as any piece of their flesh remains.
Thus, the act of one sword killing the Night Leader did not lower Wu Hen's alertness, often during this time, the Night Leader would enter the second form; even the toy tyrant tiger armor used against a high-dimensional insect had three forms.
But as time passed, Wu Hen watched the blood-colored begonia gradually fade, seeing the Night Leader's head landing on White Mountain and his body on White Sea, his life force rapidly depleting, dissolving into this mythical land's mountains and rivers, making Wu Hen feel even more incredulous...
Clearly, such a powerful person was suddenly slain by him?
Did the Night Leader foresee the ultimate ending and then entered the trap by himself?
