Chapter 73: Chapter 62: Momentum Like Splitting Bamboo! Knife Chopping Divine Bravery!_2
“You will be the first to die at my hands with the Body Refinement Great Achievement.”
Su Changkong appeared very calm. He had killed many people, including more than one martial artist in the Divine Strength Realm, and now, he was about to stain his hands with the blood of a martial artist who had achieved the Body Refinement Great Achievement.
“Arrogant! Die!”
Cao Hong’s eyes flashed with cold light as he roared with fury and took action again. This time, he drew a fine steel broadsword from his waist, and a chilling murderous aura began to spread.
“Breaking Array Blade Technique. Horizontal Sweep of a Thousand Troops!”
Cao Hong wielded the heavy fine steel broadsword with the strength of Divine Bravery in his single arm, swinging it in a horizontal chop that was fierce and unmatched, embodying the Intent Realm of an army effortlessly parting before him.
Facing a serious Cao Hong, Su Changkong felt a tinge of excitement. Since a couple of months ago, he rarely had the opportunity to use his sword against enemies, simply because his opponents were too weak. As soon as he drew his sword, the battle would be quickly resolved, depriving him of the chance to sharpen his skills. Now… he wanted to see how many of his blows Cao Hong could withstand!
“Clang!”
Su Changkong had already adjusted his posture and angle, holding the sword scabbard in one hand and the hilt in the other like a primed arrow. The crisp sound of metal friction rang out!
Fast! Faster than sound!
A cold flash of the blade, like a silver thread, tore through the air and emerged with a horizontal sweep, dragging a series of afterimages behind it!
The Iron Cutting Blade Technique, after being integrated with the Sword Drawing Technique, became even more powerful. Having practiced assiduously, it became, after the Five Animal Frolics, the second martial arts technique Su Changkong mastered at the seventh level of Profound Mastery. And now, for the first time, he was using it against an enemy.
Although Cao Hong struck first, Su Changkong’s blow was not only much faster but also came before Cao Hong’s own strike, clashing with the fine steel broadsword. The two collided!

“Clang!”
The clear, ear-piercing sound of metal clashing spread through the air as blades scraped against each other. Sparks flew in all directions, and Cao Hong felt Su Changkong’s blow was alarmingly fast and terribly heavy, like a thousand-pound hammer slamming down, numbing his arm.
And the spot where the fine steel broadsword was struck burst open a gap!
“What?”
Cao Hong couldn’t believe it. With just one strike, he felt an immense, terrifying pressure, as well as a palpitation of fear. It was a threat capable of killing him!
Iron Cutting Blade Technique. Upward Slash!
With one collision, Su Changkong had suppressed Cao Hong. Su Changkong’s Turtle Breathing True Qi was long and unending, with no pause. The blade was infused with Iron Cutting True Qi, emitting an inch-thick aura as the blade turned and made an upward cutting strike!
It was like a volcanic eruption, shooting up from the ground towards the sky.
“Breaking Array Blade Technique. Breaking Cauldrons and Sinking Boats!”
Cao Hong felt a chill run through his entire body. With a low growl, he switched to holding the sword with both hands, striking down fiercely with the blade in an attempt to block Su Changkong’s Iron Cutting Sword, or else he would be split open under this blow.
“Clang!”
Their swords collided again, and Cao Hong felt a sense of powerlessness as if his strength could not find its mark. Su Changkong’s strike was again too fast and heavy, slamming into him before he could unleash his full capabilities.
Thud!
The heavy force sent Cao Hong staggering uncontrollably backward, causing panic in his heart. He’d been immersed in the sword arts for thirty years, but now, after just a brief exchange, he was already at a disadvantage.
Su Changkong’s Iron Cutting Sword Technique did not have many mysterious changes; it was characterized by being fast, precise, and ruthless. Simple and direct, it used speed to overcome slowness, and strength to overpower weakness!
Cao Hong stepped back, his momentum lost, while Su Changkong, on the other hand, felt his blood boiling, his True Qi rapidly circulating, with veins protruding along his arms, causing his arm muscles to swell.
Iron Cutting Blade Technique. Splitting Cut!
“Kill!”
Su Changkong bellowed, stepping forward and switching to holding the sword with both hands as well. The descending blow from a higher altitude intended to smash down on Cao Hong, who in Su Changkong’s eyes was no longer a person but a stone, apiece of iron, that no matter how hard, he was determined to chop to pieces.
Before the blow even descended, an oppressive force, heavy as a meteorite, bore down, causing Cao Hong’s breathing to nearly stop. His heart pounded uncontrollably, as though he would be crushed to dust. He wanted to flee but couldn’t escape!
“Aaargh!”
Cao Hong roared in madness, driving his strength to its peak as he lifted his sword to resist, hoping to withstand Su Changkong’s strike.
“Crack!”
The heavy Iron Cutting Sword, carrying an impregnable force, chopped down. At the moment of impact, accompanied by the sound of metal shattering, Cao Hong’s fine steel broadsword, already suffering from two previous strikes from Su Changkong, split in two. The Iron Cutting Sword continued its relentless descent!
“No!”
Cao Hong’s eyes were wide with rage, but in the next instant, his roar was abruptly cut off as pain seared through his head. The sharp Iron Cutting Sword fell from above, splitting him mightily down to his hips.
Cao Hong’s eyes filled with resentment. He opened his mouth to speak, but a line of blood spread between his brows, causing his body to lose balance and fall to both sides. A stench of blood permeated the air, adding to the coldness of the desolate night.
Cao Hong, the Second Master of the Black Cavalry Gang, a reputed expert around Clearwater City, had been cleaved into two by Su Changkong’s Iron Cutting Sword within a few strikes!
Whew!
Only now did Su Changkong slowly exhale the pale blue Turtle Breathing True Qj from his chest, his breath finally becoming steady.
“It took me three strikes to kill him, truly worthy of being the Black Cavalry Gang’s Second Master! The gap between us is very small,” Su Changkong mused to himself. The fight was brief, but the fact that Su Changkong had to use three strikes showed the difference between Cao Hong and others!
