Evan Chu's astonishing strength left the White Sun Sect master secretly shocked. He hadn't expected such power from a youth this young. By all rights, Evan's strength shouldn't be inferior to the Four Young Lords—so why had he never heard of this person before?
After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he drew a longsword from his storage ring, glaring at Evan Chu. "Kid, didn't expect you to have some real weight. But today, you're dead for sure!"
"Big talk for someone so shameless! Let me tell you—today, you're the one who's dead!" Evan Chu retorted, pulling out the Flame Dragon Sword.
As soon as the Flame Dragon Sword appeared, its blade was a vivid red. Evan had arranged this with the Fire Dragon King long ago—after all, plenty of people had seen the sword's original form before, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, he'd prepared in advance.
"He Juan, all of you, fall back! Today, I'll show everyone what Frostbane Sect is made of. We've been down and out for years—it's time for our comeback!" As Evan finished speaking, a king-descending-upon-the-world aura erupted from him.
The crowd was instantly stunned by that aura. Only a true sovereign could project such pressure. Even the Four Young Lords and Two Saintesses were taken aback, staring at Evan Chu in confusion.
At this moment, Evan Chu frantically circulated the Chaos Dragon Force within his body. He was aiming for a one-strike kill—only that could truly shock the crowd and show them that Frostbane Sect was no longer what it used to be.
The White Sun Sect master's expression grew extremely grave. He felt a nameless crisis emanating from the youth before him. But having already spoken, and for the dignity of White Sun Sect, he could only grit his teeth and charge at Evan Chu.
A sword glow over two meters long shimmered on his blade. He leapt into the air, spun several times, and then unleashed a swift, ferocious slash.
That slash twisted the very space around it, the sword glow carrying an overwhelming, terrifying sword-qi as it struck toward Evan Chu. The crowd watched in shock and fear—many thought the Frostbane Sect master had no chance of withstanding such a devastating blow.
At that moment, Evan Chu unleashed Tyrant Cleave with all his might. Half his Chaos Dragon Force was drained in an instant, and a sword glow over two meters long erupted from the Flame Dragon Sword.
But his slash immediately tore open cracks in the surrounding space—just like when he'd killed that Sacred Sword Sect expert in the forest. The situation was dangerously intense.
The bystanders saw those spatial cracks and scrambled to flee in panic. For a single person to tear open space like that—his attack power was beyond imagination.
Ethan Feng's face was full of shock. He knew that even with a full-powered strike, he might not be able to pull off something like this. But Evan Chu had done it—obviously, his strength surpassed Ethan's own.
The others felt the same. Victor Lang, the Voidheart Young Lord, had been hoping to quietly reap the fisherman's benefit, but seeing this, he could only swallow his ambitions—and was secretly glad he hadn't recklessly made Evan his enemy. He couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be now.
Evan Chu's sword strike was accompanied by a tremendous dragon roar—an ancient, hoarse sound. The Fire Dragon King's voice wasn't something ordinary people could withstand; those with weak cultivation immediately felt splitting headaches, and some even collapsed with blood streaming from their ears and noses.
What a terrifying strike! That was everyone's thought. In the blink of an eye, Evan Chu's fiery sword glow collided head-on with the White Sun Sect master's sword glow.
As Evan Chu unleashed that move, the temperature around him soared. It felt like everyone was sitting right next to a furnace—the terror of the attack was obvious.
Boom! The collision of sword-qi instantly created a raging, fire-red energy storm that swept both fighters into the sky. Overhead, a massive black hole appeared—a spatial black hole. Anyone below fifth-layer Saint Martial Realm who got caught in there would be dead for sure.
Joan He and the other Frostbane Sect disciples were deeply worried for their mysterious sect master. If he got sucked into that black hole, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Both Evan Chu and the White Sun Sect master saw the black hole overhead, and their bodies were being drawn closer to it, unable to steady themselves within the energy storm. Both felt a rising sense of urgency.
"Evan, stay calm. Wait for the right moment, then hit your opponent with a powerful punch. Use the rebound force to escape the energy storm!" Sword Spirit Luna's voice echoed in Evan Chu's mind.
Both fighters' faces showed horror. Evan Chu wasn't too familiar with spatial black holes yet, but the White Sun Sect master had encountered them many times—though never one this massive before.
The crowd below held their breath, nerves taut, eyes glued to the two figures in the sky.
The Frostbane Sect and White Sun Sect disciples looked worried. Lynne Nie was anxious, while Serena Dream kept her usual icy composure—though she, too, was secretly concerned for Evan Chu.
Following Sword Spirit Luna's advice, Evan Chu slowly gathered Chaos Dragon Force into his hand. When his body was steady and facing his opponent, he unleashed the seventh form of Demon-Breaking Fist at the White Sun Sect master.
By now, the White Sun Sect master was covered in wounds—some so deep that bone was visible, blood pouring out. He was barely clinging to life.
Evan Chu's flaming sword-qi had shattered the master's Divine Star Core—a feat only possible thanks to the Fire Dragon King's power. On his own, Evan couldn't have managed it. That's why the Fire Dragon King claimed he could help Evan slay any expert below Saint Martial Realm.
Caught in the energy storm, the master's injuries worsened. His attack had only left a few shallow cuts on Evan Chu, which had already healed.
Boom! Evan Chu's fist struck the master, and using the rebound force, Evan poured all his strength into escaping the energy storm.
The White Sun Sect master was also blasted out of the energy storm by that punch. Seeing both men escape, the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief—this battle had truly been perilous.
Evan Chu landed gently, while the White Sun Sect master crashed to the ground. After taking Evan's devastating strike, he spat out a mouthful of blood and couldn't move at all.
"Master! Master!" Seeing their master gravely wounded and unconscious, the other sect members rushed over in panic.
The middle-aged man with the White Sun Sect master checked his injuries, his face changing dramatically. He stood up and shouted at Evan Chu in the distance, "Kid, I'm going to kill you..."
