Sword Qi lingered.

A drizzle suddenly appeared around Wang Junze, protecting his body, with the sword edge slightly raised, pointing directly at the people around.

“A nascent form of the Path Domain, you do have some skill.”

The Path-Entering powerhouse in front raised an eyebrow and sneered, “But unfortunately, you’re not smart. You should have stayed obediently in your Nether Sea instead of coming to the Capital City seeking death.”

“I also didn’t expect Prince Yu to have raised so many Death Warriors. Could it be… he truly plans to rebel?”

With a light laugh, Wang Junze mockingly retorted unhurriedly.

“Courting death!”

A hint of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Path-Entering powerhouse as they took a step forward, and a blue flame instantly appeared around them, sweeping directly towards Wang Junze.

Path Domain!

Unlike those guests before, this Path-Entering powerhouse truly possessed a Path Domain, and even among Path-Entering powerhouses, they were exceptionally formidable. The blue flame was not an ordinary mundane fire but a special Yin Fire.

On the surface, this blue flame seemed to have no temperature, and instead emitted a chill, but in reality, once touched, this Yin Fire could directly burn the Divine Soul, sinister and vicious.

In a moment, Wang Junze was enveloped into the opponent’s Path Domain, and the drizzle around him seemed instantly ignited by the Yin Fire!

This Yin Fire was not afraid of water at all; it could even burn water.

“Buzz!”

Daring not hesitate for a moment, Wang Junze immediately slashed out with his sword, using Sword Qi to disperse the Yin Fire before him.

So strong!

Even though it was just a moment’s clash, Wang Junze was able to feel the opponent’s terrifying strength.

If it came to a real life-and-death battle, facing such an opponent, Wang Junze’s best strategy would be to give no opportunity for the opponent to unleash the power of the Path Domain, but to unleash his full strength and kill the opponent in the shortest time possible.

Moreover, Wang Junze was actually confident enough to easily kill the opponent.

But now, he couldn’t. To avoid exposing his true strength, Wang Junze had to force himself to find an opportunity slowly within the opponent’s Path Domain, enduring the burning of the Yin Fire.

In fact, if Wang Junze had truly mastered the Path Domain himself, he could counter the oppressor’s Path Domain and neutralize the pressure. However, his Path Domain was still just a nascent form, and in this contest of the Great Path, he could only fall into a disadvantage.

“Stop struggling. My Yin Fire does greater damage to the Divine Soul. The longer you hold out, the more you suffer. I’m really curious to see… how long you can endure!”

With a cruel smile, the Path-Entering powerhouse spoke harshly.

As they spoke, the blue flame before them suddenly erupted, transforming into a sea of fire, completely engulfing Wang Junze.

Wang Junze’s sword was swift, yet it couldn’t entirely fend off the Yin Fire. A large portion still burned Wang Junze, and it didn’t burn his clothing or cause much harm to his physical body, but penetrated towards his sea of consciousness to scorch his Divine Soul.

In just a few breaths, Wang Junze’s face turned ashen.

…

“Kill!”

As Wang Junze was being trapped, the battle on the other side was equally fierce and brutal.

In terms of numbers, Wang Junze’s side was at a significant disadvantage, and these Death Warriors were all fierce and fearless, often daring to strike with a mutually destructive approach, not afraid to trade their lives.

Yang Hong, the Maiden of the Sea, and others were still faring well with their strong abilities, but some of the experts sent by the Four Seas Commerce Association to help were facing heavy casualties.

The only good news was that Luo Qingxuan displayed overwhelming strength.

The Profound Moon Sword Intent erupted, and the moon-white sword light enveloped the two Path-Entering powerhouses, firmly maintaining the upper hand even against two opponents. In just a short while, one of the Path-Entering powerhouses was already seriously injured.

“Worthy of being the Saintess Xuan Yue!”

From afar, Lan Ruohai gently shook his folded fan, watching the battle with a soft admiration.

Previously, he had already overestimated the strength on Wang Junze’s side, so he had brought out most of Prince Yu’s Death Warriors. Yet he was still astonished by Luo Qingxuan.

It was said that Wang Junze was a prodigy, but in his opinion, Luo Qingxuan was truly the top prodigy, who, given time, would undoubtedly become the most terrifying Saint Realm powerhouse.

However, his aim this time wasn’t to kill Luo Qingxuan; it was merely to stall her.

In a blur, Lan Ruohai moved like a phantom, so fast that only a afterimage could be seen, and that ghostly blue light suddenly burst in front of Wang Junze!

Others could kill more, but it was of no consequence. This attack’s sole target was to assassinate Wang Junze!

Now that the others were stalled, and Wang Junze was weakened by the burning Yin Fire, it was the perfect time to launch a lethal attack.

Indeed, Lan Ruohai’s timing for this action was unbelievably impeccable.

The moment that ghostly blue light exploded before his eyes, even Wang Junze felt the threat of death.

Almost instinctively, Wang Junze wanted to retaliate with all his strength, but in just a moment, he forcibly suppressed the thought.

In truth, if he were experiencing normal Divine Travel while being scorched by the Yin Fire, his Divine Soul would have already been damaged. There’s no way he could have sensed Lan Ruohai’s ambush, let alone reacted in time.

Jing Yuan’s words still echoed in Wang Junze’s mind.

In that fleeting instant, Wang Junze repressed his murderous intent, pretending not to notice as he grimly took Lan Ruohai’s attack!

In that instant, the folded fan seemed like a sharp knife, piercing directly into Wang Junze’s chest!

“Puff!”

The swift and vicious strike sent Wang Junze flying like a kite with a broken string, blood spurting wildly from his lips, crashing heavily to the ground.

With a step, Lan Ruohai accelerated again, shadowing relentlessly, pursuing Wang Junze to deliver the final blow.

Having chosen to strike, Lan Ruohai wouldn’t offer Wang Junze any chance of escape. By following through with this attack, he was fully confident in killing Wang Junze.

In the throes of life and death, a hint of madness appeared on Wang Junze’s face as all his True Qi erupted in an instant, transforming into a tremendous Sword Qi. Rising from the ground in a desperate move, he fiercely slashed towards Lan Ruohai.

Strangulation!

With no other option, Wang Junze finally used the killing move of this sword stroke!

In the eyes of onlookers, it appeared Wang Junze was fighting for his life, yet only he knew clearly that he had utilized at most thirty to forty percent of his power, and hadn’t drawn upon his Power of the Divine Soul at all.

Of course, the consequence of such an act was that Wang Junze couldn’t withstand Lan Ruohai’s attack.

The Sword Edge collided directly with the folded fan, neutralizing most of the power, but he was ultimately struck again, ribs instantly fracturing, and organs shaking. With another mouthful of blood, he was sent flying once more, carving a shocking trail in the ground, leaving traces soaked in blood!
