Chapter 386: The Oversight of Profound Song, Above the Sword Path!
“You… cough cough…”
Profound Song looked up at Zhou Tong, about to speak, but could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
This scene was incredibly shocking.
Just a moment ago, the unparalleled prodigy who looked down on everything and easily suppressed everyone was now lying on the ground like a dead dog.
Throughout the process, Zhou Tong only made one move.
With one punch, it was as if a deity had descended—it was so domineering and irrefutable, countering all the flashy techniques.
“Humph!”
Suddenly, Zhou Tong’s lips curled up, lifting his leg sharply and then bringing it down fiercely.
Profound Song’s head burst like a smashed watermelon, shattering into pieces, blood spewing everywhere, sending another shudder through the crowd.
Such a decisive intent to kill, even against such a beautiful woman, was like uprooting a blade of grass beside the road—people felt grateful that they were not this youth’s enemy.
“It’s not over yet…”
The Sword Saint said, breathing heavily. Among those present, his insight was the keenest besides Zhou Tong; that prodigy from the Profound Sky Hall could not easily fall.
In the next moment, Zhou Tong’s figure became blurred, and then a streak of light shot from behind, piercing through his back and into the vast distance.
“Someone ambushed him!”
The crowd exclaimed, but seeing Zhou Tong unscathed, they suddenly realized that the opponent had long sensed it and had used incomprehensible methods to evade this fatal blow in advance.
“Truly a bit troublesome!”
Profound Song’s voice came from behind, appearing unscathed; she had evidently just used a substitution technique.
As soon as she appeared, Zhou Tong locked onto her with his gaze, his expression becoming serious.
“What that woman said has some truth to it; you do have the qualifications to be compared to me, though it’s only slightly. Looks like I need to take this seriously…”
“Boom!!”
Without a word, Zhou Tong’s punch shattered the void; the overwhelming waves of power surged one upon another like a raging sea, concealing the force to destroy everything.
“Physical power, huh? Indeed formidable, but unfortunately, I happen to be your nemesis!”
As the voice fell, she raised a hand, a flickering light appearing in her palm, revealing a mirror.
The mirror emitted intense waves, an absolute top-tier sacred artifact, intimately connected to her bloodline.
If she was not mistaken, this mirror was Profound Song’s life treasure, long since intertwined with her fate; even if someone seized it, they could not wield it.
“Boom!!!”
The wave of power crashed against the mirror, not pausing even for a moment, and was rebounded back.
Not only that, the rebounding force became even stronger, causing the crowd to gasp in shock.
This mirror could actually reverse physical strength! Profound Song did not lie; she was indeed the nemesis of all physical strength practitioners!
“Let’s see how you handle this?!”
Profound Song stared closely at Zhou Tong; as long as he dodged, she could seize the opportunity. She had prepared the perfect killing move, guaranteed to defeat him in one strike.
However, things took an unexpected turn.
Zhou Tong showed no intention of dodging, his pupils merely quivering lightly, drawing forth an unmatched aura, silently diffusing the rebounding power.
“You!!”
Profound Song was stunned. Although she had already thought highly of Zhou Tong, his performance still put pressure on her.
She had to admit that even she could not remain this composed when facing such an onslaught.
“Mirror, do you still need a maid?”
Zhou Tong inquired inwardly.
“Damn it, I don’t like other mirrors, and Snow Pearl Sister doesn’t like them either. Just destroy it.”
“Then since that’s the case, I won’t hold back!”
Zhou Tong looked at her, his aura still calm, like a mere mortal—this made her feel quite annoyed.
Knowing oneself and one’s opponent leads to invincibility.
If one cannot even discern their enemy’s depth, launching a rash attack is a very dangerous affair.
“This is quite intriguing; let me see your worth!”
Profound Song’s forehead glowed, strange colors flashing in her eyes—it seemed her talent could not only predict the future but had other effects as well.
Two beams of light shot from her eyes, enveloping Zhou Tong’s figure.
“Semi-Sage’s Third Layer, not worth mentioning!”
Upon realizing Zhou Tong’s cultivation level, she immediately displayed a disdainful expression.
“Very perceptive; your eyes have some merit!”
Zhou Tong could not help but praise. Although he had not made a special effort to conceal his aura, such a naturally self-contained state was not something anyone could easily discern.
Profound Song being able to see through it indicated her talent was extraordinary.
“What else did you see? Why not say it all at once?”
As his words fell, her expression turned serious.
“Your body has become a saint, and you have advanced a certain distance; it can probably be compared to the Second Layer of Sage!”
“Clap clap clap!”
Zhou Tong could not help but applaud.
“Truly wonderful. I must say, the heavens have truly given you a pair of good eyes.”
“Hmph… It’s a matter of fate. From the moment one is born, their rank is predetermined, and I am destined to rise above you!”
She arrogantly said, her demeanor completely different from another incarnation, showing immense disparity even if they shared the same origin.
After finishing her words, she withdrew her talent ability.
“Why did you stop looking?” Zhou Tong smiled widely.
“Because it is no longer necessary!”
Profound Song raised her chin, confidence radiating from her face.
“Your strongest physical power is useless against me, and your cultivation is trivial. As for your spiritual power… heh, limited by your cultivation, it can only be so powerful.”
“Moreover, the role of spiritual power in combat is the least significant, so there’s no need for me to continue sparing effort to investigate. It’s time to send you to hell!”
Before she could finish, she could not wait any longer to make her move.
She placed the counter-mirror atop her head, held the sword hilt in her other hand, seamlessly combining offense and defense, exuding a tremendous sense of pressure!
“Profound Sky Sword, Wind and Thunder Transformation!”
With a sword strike, she touched upon the realm of the Sword Path, even capable of altering the environment, conjuring thunder in the void and wind upon the earth, indiscriminately grinding Zhou Tong down!
“This woman…”
The Sword Saint squinted his eyes beside them. As an expert, he immediately recognized the caliber of her attack as soon as she struck.
Though Profound Song’s Sword Path cultivation was not on par with him as a Sword Saint, she was still an exceptional existence, and with one sword strike, she even partly manifested the Heavenly Dao, rendering flesh and blood feeble and insignificant before it.
“Indeed, a genius of the Sword Path, her talent not inferior to mine.”
The Sword Saint murmured, “It’s a pity she chose the wrong opponent.”
He would never forget the scene when he first met Zhou Tong, defeated by a single move from him.
Though he had held back then, the profundity of that sword had remained in his memory ever since.
Through contemplating that sword, he had achieved a breakthrough, touching the bottleneck of the Sword Path, advancing another step closer to that legendary pinnacle of the Sword Path.
If even he had reached such a state, then how profound was Zhou Tong’s Sword Path?
Great Perfection? Or truly above the Sword Path!
