ointed at the screen and exclaimed in surprise.Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned to look. At this moment, Chiang Wenming was standing before a pair of enormous eyes.And inside the giant eye, the...The longsword pierced Gokon's throat without any resistance, but the next second, the sword in his hand was suddenly enveloped by a layer of black flames, instantly turning into a pool of liquid metal.

Xue Jiaxiang's face changed drastically, he hurriedly backed away, but it was still too late.

At this point, Gon has already become one with Shinobu.

With a single strike, he severed one of his arms.

Black flames quickly engulfed the severed arm, burning it to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Blood kinship 70%!"

Not only Xue Jiaxiang and everyone from Huaxia, but even high-level officials from other countries stood up in shock.

A divine descendant with a bloodline affinity exceeding seventy percent, whose patron deity is also a powerful golden-quality being.

This threat is too big!

On the chief platform of the never-setting empire, a middle-aged man with a bushy beard and sinister eyes looked at the person beside him.

"Spread the word, when the competition is over, declare war on the losing side."

Now, the two nations of Hua Xia and Sakura are engaged in war, each revealing their cards one by one. Regardless of who wins or loses, they all take advantage of the chaos to profit.

Others who share this idea include Greece and Egypt.

However, they were too far from the East and with the Papal States looming over them, they could only sigh in regret.

On the other hand, high-ranking officials of the Tianzhu Empire in the East were beaming with delight.

"I never expected the Sakura Empire to have such a trump card. We should really be grateful to China, because if it weren't for their hard work, we might be the ones at a disadvantage."

A man with a white turban, a big beard, and a smiling face.

They were planning to attack the Xia Dynasty recently, but unfortunately, they were beaten to the punch by the Sakura Empire.

However, as things stand, the situation seems to be in their favor. No matter who wins between the two sides, they will be able to reap the benefits first.

Who wouldn't like something low risk and high return

Tell Amir to have his troops ready for battle at a moment's notice. Today, we will let the radiance of the Heavenly Army shine across the East.

“No, no, no, my Salman. They are not worthy of the glory of Brahma. They are only fit to be sacrifices to Shiva. That is their true destiny.”

"Hahaha... you're right, the radiance of Shiva is more suitable for them." ww.x㈧.ＮēΤ

A group of people laughed unrestrainedly, not caring about anyone else at all.

"Amitabha Buddha, the sea of suffering is boundless, turning back is the shore. If they are willing to enter my Buddhist teachings, I, the Buddha Tathagata, will also take them in."

A venerable old monk beside them chanted Buddhist scriptures, his expression full of compassion and sorrow.

"Master Gamma, you are still the most compassionate. Here's a deal: when we conquer China, we'll allow you to build temples there. After all, China has a large population, and what better place to build temples than amongst so many people"

"That's excellent!"

With just a few words exchanged between the two, the fate of the Chinese people after their defeat was decided.

In the ring.

Xue Jiaxiang had an arm cut off by Okuni Hiroshi, and his body was still stained with that black flame.

He was standing there, his face pale.

His bloodline affinity was only forty-nine percent, just a little short of being able to borrow divine power. It was this one point that determined his upper limit.

This has nothing to do with effort, it requires talent. It's a realm that only true geniuses can reach.

"Die!"

Affected by the murderous intent of Suzumeno, Ooka Motohiro let out a ferocious laugh and crossed his two swords to slash horizontally.

...it is necessary to have Xue Jiaxiang's head cut off.

Lü Dongbin also saw this scene and wanted to save him, but at this time he was in a state of gathering strength and couldn't escape.

Could this be heaven's will

Just a little bit more, whether it was Xue Jiaxiang or himself, if he could hold on for a few more seconds, if he could merge with him, no, even lending him some of his divine power would be enough.

We will never lose!

It's a pity there are no ifs in this world!

Xue Jiaxiang's head was, as expected, severed and rolled onto the stage with a gurgling sound.

A pair of tiger eyes, full of unwillingness!

I almost won, if only I could have bought Lu Dongbin a little more time!

Xie Jiaxiang is dead!

The people of the Huaxia Empire saw this scene and fell silent.

Some people sobbed softly, some turned their heads away, and others were filled with righteous anger.

“No! We haven't lost! We didn't lose!”

Chiang Wenming suddenly shouted.

Long Ye saw this and thought he was just unwilling to accept it. He was about to speak comfortingly, but when he reached out halfway, he didn't know what to say.

"How come it hasn't ended yet"

Gokan Nobuhiro frowned, waiting for the host to announce the competition results.

> Even after half a day, host Bobby still showed no sign of appearing.

This gave him a faint unease.

"Aren't you unwilling to accept this I am too. I, who have cultivated for thousands of years, don't want to lose all my achievements just like that!

"

Even in death, I shall ask this question for all beings!

Even if I don't enter the cycle of rebirth, what does it matter

I am Lü Dongbin, the Immortal Swordsmith of the Mortal World!

Lü Dongbin appeared mad, losing his usual composed and calm demeanor. Instead, he radiated a fierce sword intent.

A humble herb flew from his chest and slowly landed on Xue Jiaxiang's headless body.

The body, which had already died, slowly began to move, as if adapting to movement without a head.

"Here comes!"

Lu Dongbin shouted loudly.

A myriad of sword intents coalesced in an instant, following him as they surged into Xue Jiaxiang's headless body.

Xue Jiatang's shirt was torn to shreds by this overwhelming sword intent. On his remaining arm, a faint image of a sword slowly materialized.

The blade begins to solidify, little by little.

His breasts, suddenly opened a pair of eyes, and his navel also became a mouth.

"In ancient times, there was the god of punishment who had no head and still fought. I can do the same!"

The voice was like a muffled thunder, indistinguishable whether it belonged to Xue Jiaxiang or Lü Dongbin, or perhaps both of them.

The brilliance on the longsword grew ever brighter, finally engulfing the entire platform. Now nothing could be seen.

After a long time, the light dispersed.

Two figures stood back to back.

"Who won"

At this moment, both Hua Xia and the Sakura Country have started to become tense.

As if in response to their words, Okita Soji's body suddenly erupted in a burst of blood mist.

...and finally turned into a pool of blood.

"Did we win"

"Victory!"

"China will prevail!"

"China is invincible!"

... "

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Cheers erupted throughout the crowd, although a small number of people wore expressions of sorrow.

Can a man live without a head

The answer is no!

This means that Xue Jiaxiang is already dead. The reason he's still standing is because his fighting spirit hasn't dissipated yet.

Host Bob's figure slowly appeared, glancing at the headless body that still stood there.

She bowed slightly to him in respect.

[The third match, Huaxia wins!]

As his words faded, Xue Jiaxiang's headless body slowly began to dissipate.

Even if one does not enter the cycle of rebirth, what then

"I am Lü Dongbin, the Sword Immortal of the Red Dust!"

"As a son of Han, would I ever be afraid to fight"

Tears had already blurred Chiang Wenming's vision, all he wanted to do at this moment was to let out a cry.

Although I haven't had much time to interact with Xue Jiaxiang, he feels like a kind and caring elder. He has been very attentive to Jiang Wenming's well-being.

But now he is dead, without even a chance to enter reincarnation!

"Farewell to Master Lü and General Xue as they return to their posts!"

Jiang Wenming bowed respectfully four times in the direction they had disappeared.caused the sudden turn of events just now."Were you just using the Seventy-Two Transformations Did you learn it from Patriarch Bodhi No, Patriarch Bodhi has long since closed his mountain gate and sto...
