Chapter 197 One sword cuts down a 7th-rank opponent
With that thought in mind, Lin Hanzhou's figure stopped for a moment, transforming into a streak of light and continuing to flee towards the heart of the Central Region.
Only the tens of thousands of guards inside the Heavenly Gate, who had been dumbfounded, remained rooted to the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
Those ordinary guards whose cultivation level was below the fifth rank didn't even know what had just happened.
In their field of vision, all they could see was that arrogant quasi-saint from the Taiyan Holy Land, who had just finished speaking in a triumphant manner.
Then, a dazzling burst of lightning and fire flashed by.
Their large group of over a hundred people vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Only those with slightly higher cultivation levels, reaching the sixth rank, can barely see it clearly.
That sword energy that just ripped through the sky was a terrifying force capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
It was this sword energy that, with overwhelming force, instantly annihilated the imposing hundred-strong team from the Taiyan Holy Land.
"This...this...which senior expert intervened?!"
"With a single sword strike, he slew a hundred fifth-tier cultivators, dozens of sixth-tier cultivators, and even a peak Void Returning Realm cultivator from a high-grade Divine Mansion..."
"Such terrifying power could only be possessed by a legendary seventh-tier Void Realm expert, right?!"
The defending general, who had already resolved to die, was utterly shocked by the miraculous scene before him.
Regardless, this already precarious Heavenly Gate was successfully defended.
After that, all he needs to do is report the situation here truthfully.
……
Lin Hanzhou has successfully entered the territory of the Central Region.
He stood high in the sky, like a king surveying his territory, looking down at the familiar land where he had lived for sixteen hundred years.
Unlike the bustling yet relatively peaceful Central Region in his memory, it was different.
The Central Region is now heavily fortified, and the air is thick with the grim atmosphere of war.
One after another, war fortresses shrouded in countless formations rose from the ground.
In the sky, squads of sixth-tier powerhouses clad in standard armor could be seen patrolling back and forth.
Some of the more important core areas are even guarded by powerful seventh-tier experts whose auras are as vast as the abyss.
This was vastly different from the Central Region he remembered, where sixth-tier cultivators rarely appeared.
Just as he was sighing inwardly.
A terrifying aura of hostility locked onto him without warning.
A seventh-tier expert dressed in the standard attire of an elder from the Central Region suddenly appeared before him.
"You audacious scoundrel, how dare you disregard the prohibitions of my Central Region and trespass into this forbidden area!"
As he said this, the terrifying expert, whose aura had reached the third level of the seventh-order Void Realm, gave Lin Hanzhou no chance to explain.
The "Power of the World" within him erupted with a roar, and a colossal hand formed from pure "Power of the World" fiercely grabbed at Lin Hanzhou.
Upon seeing this, a slight surprise appeared in Lin Hanzhou's usually calm eyes.
"How did he find me?"
It should be noted that with his current powerful concealment skills, even a peak seventh-tier expert would find it extremely difficult to detect him unless they deliberately probe him at close range.
The person in front of me is only at the seventh level, third stage. How did he discover me in the first instant?
Without time to think, Lin Hanzhou quickly used his "pseudo-heavenly" perfect level movement technique, "Shadowless Chaotic Steps," easily dodging the opponent's terrifying attack that was enough to instantly kill any sixth-level opponent.
Then, he summoned his natal sword spirit, [Thunder Tribulation], activated the Thunderfire Sword Technique, and unleashed a fierce slash.
A terrifying sword aura containing the destructive power of thunder and fire struck the still-astonished seventh-tier expert at an astonishing speed.
The opponent was clearly somewhat surprised that a mere sixth-tier opponent could dodge his attack.
However, his surprise quickly faded.
So what if he can dodge my attacks? He's just a mere sixth-tier opponent.
He didn't take that mere sixth-level cultivation seriously at all.
He mobilized his immense "world power" and grabbed at the terrifying sword energy that looked powerful and imposing, intending to crush it directly.
In his view, a mere sixth-tier attack, no matter how fancy, could be easily neutralized by him with a simple wave of his hand.
It should be noted that a seventh-tier expert has already created a "cave world" within their body, and can freely mobilize their own unique "world power".
This power, originating from a higher level, is naturally incredibly strong.
The reason why a seventh-tier expert can stay in that dangerous chaotic void for a period of time is because of the indestructible power of the world protecting him.
Moreover, the power of the world has an almost overwhelming suppressive effect on low-level cultivators.
It can easily engulf the divine energy attack of any sixth-tier powerhouse.
This is why this seventh-tier expert was so confident, feeling that he could easily block Lin Hanzhou's fierce sword strike with just a wave of his hand.
However, the moment that terrifying lightning and fire sword energy truly touched him...
"Sizzle—!"
His massive hand, imbued with the power of the world, capable of easily crushing magical artifacts, was sliced off as easily as a fragile sheet of paper.
The sword energy, undiminished in its momentum, once again easily pierced through his protective world power, even amidst the opponent's terrified gaze.
"Pfft!"
With a soft thud as a blade pierced flesh, the opponent's entire arm was severed cleanly at the root.
A large amount of blood gushed from the wound, staining the sky.
The once arrogant seventh-tier expert lost his footing and plummeted from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
One sword!
Lin Hanzhou used only an ordinary sword strike to cut down a genuine seventh-level Void Realm expert from the clouds.
Watching the other person's continuously falling figure, Lin Hanzhou was very satisfied with his newly acquired purple talent, [Sword Dao Divine].
It was at this moment that he truly understood.
Just how terrifying is the true value of this so-called "huge" increase?
If it were the old him, even with the "Three Forms of Reverse Meridians" activated, there would have been absolutely no way he could break through the world power protection of a seventh-tier expert with a single sword strike.
To truly kill a seventh-tier opponent, he would need to rely on the combined power of his "Disguised Heavenly Rank" Great Sun Divine Fist and the equally "Disguised Heavenly Rank" Three Thousand Needles.
The kills here are still limited to those who have just entered the seventh rank.
He can kill someone instantly in a surprise attack, but if the opponent is on guard, he won't be able to kill them in a short time.
It would take at least a hundred moves to kill it, which is very troublesome.
Now, he doesn't need to do all that fancy stuff anymore.
With a simple, unadorned sword strike, one can instantly kill a powerful expert at the third level of the seventh rank.
This demonstrates the power of this purple talent.
