Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 615 - 619: Refilling the Wine and Relighting the Lamps to Reopen the Banquet
Everything happened far too quickly.
From Wang Junze facing danger to his sudden counterattack, the entire process was completed in an instant. By the time the Guan Family’s patriarch noticed, it was already too late to intervene.
"Pfft!"
In an instant, countless Sword Qi slashed at Hai Feng’s body. Even with Hai Feng’s formidable physical strength, he couldn’t withstand this terrifying sword. His entire body was riddled with wounds, blood splattering everywhere, as the Sword Edge of the Profound Ice Sword penetrated his heart, exuding a terrifying chill, directly freezing his body!
As for Hai Feng, the Guan Family’s powerhouse fared even worse, his entire body shredded by Sword Qi, turning into a mist of blood with only a wisp of Divine Soul escaping as thunder towards the hall.
This was because Wang Junze had already expended too much strength to slay Hai Feng and couldn’t pursue; otherwise, even the Divine Soul would have had no escape.
"Stop!"
Rising abruptly, the Guan Family’s patriarch shouted harshly.
At the same time, Hai Feng’s Divine Soul barely escaped from his body, only to be caught by Wang Junze before it could fly away, poised to be crushed with just a slight effort.
Too powerful!
This battle had truly shocked the entire Guan Family.
One sword suppressing two Saints!
And with such overwhelming victory, this was simply terrifying!
The key point was, Wang Junze wasn’t even in the Saint Realm, just in the realm of Entering the Path, which was even more astonishing than Qu Lishang’s legendary feat of slaying three Saints with one sword.
"Stop? You think you can start and stop as you please? Is there such an easy bargain in the world?"
With a sneer, Wang Junze, without any hesitation, released a thread of Sword Aura from his fingertips, instantly shredding Hai Feng’s Divine Soul!
Saint Slayer!
In a split second, Hai Feng was completely annihilated!
Previously, when Wang Junze was at the Nether Sea, with the help of the Great Nether Mirror and others, he had slain a Saint Realm being, but this was the first time he had fully relied on himself to slay a Saint Realm powerhouse.
This scene was truly too astonishing!
Even the Guan Family’s patriarch hadn’t expected Wang Junze to be so mad, killing without hesitation and leaving no room for retreat, truly slaying Hai Feng!
"Wang Junze, do you intend to wage war to the death with the Guan Family?"
With a fierce glint in his eyes, the Guan Family’s patriarch stepped forward, a terrifying aura erupting, pressing fiercely towards Wang Junze.
"You forced me into a life-or-death struggle, and now you say such frivolous words... Why, is it that I cannot kill someone from the Guan Family?"
Without a trace of fear, Wang Junze replied coldly.
"Are you seeking death?"
Staring intently at Wang Junze, the Guan Family patriarch said coldly: "How much strength do you have left? Do you really believe I won’t dare to kill you?"
Wang Junze’s current state couldn’t fool anyone.
The recent battle had completely exhausted him; despite slaying one and making the other flee with one sword, he had pushed himself to the limit, with almost all his Demonic Qi depleted, making it difficult even to maintain his Sword Domain.
Just as Fuchen had predicted, Wang Junze only had the strength for that one sword strike!
If that sword failed to kill the opponent, it would be Wang Junze who would surely die.
Now, even though he had won, there was still the more powerful Guan Family patriarch to contend with.
"You can try!"
With a smirk, Wang Junze replied indifferently: "I’ve nothing to lose. Surviving one more day after escaping from the Capital City is already a bonus. At worst, I’ll shatter the Great Path and leave my life here; even if I can’t kill you, I’ll still seriously wound you!"
"By then, with two Saint Realm losses on your side and you severely injured, let’s see if the Guan Family can continue holding onto the Nine Prefectures of Longxi!"
No matter what, Wang Junze was now committed to risking everything.
When a warrior capable of slaying a Saint Realm powerhouse is truly ready to stake their life, anyone would be at their wit’s end.
Facing Wang Junze in such a state, everyone found it hard to breathe.
Indeed, his condition was dire, so dire that even wanting to shatter the Great Path might barely be possible, but... are you willing to gamble?
What’s more important is... the Guan Family’s goal wasn’t actually to kill Wang Junze!
What good is killing Wang Junze to the Guan Family?
It would only worsen the situation, with no gain.
Taking a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, the Guan Family patriarch finally spoke slowly: "Let’s both take a step back. The Guan Family must enter the Nether Sea, and you give up part of the benefits. In exchange, the Guan Family will give you corresponding rewards."
Everyone knew Wang Junze’s return to the Nether Sea meant severing ties with the Profound Moon Sword Sect and Xuankong Temple. Wang Junze couldn’t handle the Nether Sea’s affairs alone, so he would need others to fill the void left by these two sects, and there were significant profits involved, which the Guan Family naturally wanted a share of.
Initially, the Guan Family sought to force Wang Junze to sign the Ancient Contract to monopolize the Nether Sea’s benefits. Now, however, they wanted to share in the benefits instead.
"We can cooperate, but it must be on my terms."
Unchanged in expression, Wang Junze replied calmly.
"Thirty percent!"
The Guan Family patriarch said solemnly: "The Deserters, Demon Cultivators, and the Guan Family will jointly hold the Nether Sea!"
Given the Guan Family’s influence, they were well aware of the alliance between Wang Junze and the Deserters. After removing the Profound Moon Sword Sect and Xuankong Temple, the gap would be filled by the Deserters and the Guan Family.
"Agreed, but the Guan Family must offer corresponding compensation."
To this, Wang Junze did not refuse. The Court could tolerate his cooperation with the Deserters and the Guan Family but would never allow ties with the Four Great Celestial Sects—that was the bottom line.
Although the Guan Family wasn’t entirely aligned with the Court, because of the Empress, they could still be tolerated by the Court, making them a viable partner.
Indeed, Wang Junze had already speculated and decided on this before coming to the Guan Family; otherwise, he wouldn’t have followed them so easily after realizing he was exposed.
However, the Guan Family patriarch’s previous greed led to the battle that just occurred.
Now, with Hai Feng’s death and the remaining Saint Realm member of the Guan Family still having their Divine Soul, for a Saint Realm powerhouse, especially a Divine Talisman Master, losing their physical body wasn’t an irrevocable loss, offering room for negotiation.
This was why Wang Junze had chosen to spare the Guan Family powerhouse earlier and instead kill Hai Feng.
Regardless of Hai Feng’s status as a Saint Realm powerhouse, in the eyes of the Guan Family, he was ultimately just a servant.
It seemed somewhat pathetic but was indeed the reality.
"Agreed!"
Facing Wang Junze’s conditions, the Guan Family patriarch didn’t refuse and agreed readily, then waved his hand with a smile and said: "Come, prepare a banquet to welcome Young Master Wang."
