Chapter 1390 Fear Level
The indestructible sword lights illuminated everything, destroying it all. The Chaos Egg, which was already riddled with holes, was instantly shattered, leaving Zhou Wen with no protection.
Teleportation is no longer effective in this situation, because the sword light is everywhere. No matter where Zhou Wen teleports to, he will be killed by the sword light, unless he can leave the natural disaster area of the Ten Perfect Sword Immortal, which is naturally impossible.
Zhou Wen had not yet been promoted to the Fear Level, but he had no choice but to fight to the death and took out the Immortal-Slaying Sword, but his heart still sank.
Because the Sword of Immortal Slaying can only strike once, and he is surrounded by sword lights everywhere. If he strikes with this sword, he himself will be pierced by thousands of swords.
What was even more frustrating was that Zhou Wen knew very well that even if he used the Immortal Slaying Technique, he would not be able to kill such a powerful Ten Perfect Sword Immortal.
His own strength was too weak to unleash the full might of the Immortal-Slaying Sword. A full-strength attack would be equivalent to a calamity-level attack, and such an attack would not be able to defeat the Perfect Sword Immortal.
Zhou Wen even discovered that his hand speed could not keep up with his conscious reaction. Before he drew out the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the sword light had already arrived in front of him.
"Am I going to die just like that?" Zhou Wen held the sword, looking at the dazzling sword light that was everywhere, feeling both fear and unwillingness in his heart.
Although he didn't have time to think about anything, the instinctive fear still arose.
Sudden!
The sword light that destroyed everything actually stopped right in front of Zhou Wen, and the tip of the sword light almost touched Zhou Wen's cornea.
Zhou Wen shuddered involuntarily as he came back to life from the dead. It was as if a chill instantly rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and then spread to his whole body, making Zhou Wen feel a little hot. His face seemed to have a fever, and his legs were dizzy and a little weak.
The feeling of having walked through the gates of hell can never be understood unless you have experienced it.
As the saying goes, there is great terror between life and death, but that kind of terror is hard to experience.
Because by the time one realizes it, he is already dead, so there is no point in realizing it.
Anyone who can experience the great terror between life and death and still survive is extremely lucky, and it would be an exaggeration to say that they are reborn as a human being.
At this moment, Zhou Wen felt the great terror between life and death, and his mind suddenly became as clear as a mirror. Many things that he usually cared about seemed to be nothing at this moment. It was simply ridiculous to be sad and upset over those things.
At the same time, Zhou Wen finally understood why he had never been able to take that last step to advance to the Fear Level. This was because he himself had never felt true fear, so how could he understand the fear of others?
Only those who have truly experienced fear understand what fear is.
"What are you standing there for? Use your sword to kill him!" Jiang Yan's voice was almost a roar, but he also knew that it was too late when he shouted.
Zhou Wen still hasn't reacted yet, and Jiang Yan's heart suddenly turned cold.
The limit of what he could do was this instant. He would use all the strength and unique abilities accumulated by the Burial Immortal, and take advantage of the Ten Perfect Sword Immortal's full-strength attack, when his control over his body was at its weakest, to regain control of his body for only a moment.
He originally thought that he and Zhou Wen had this kind of tacit understanding. That moment was enough for Zhou Wen to strike out that earth-shaking sword, the sword that once killed the natural disaster from another dimension, the sword that belonged only to the Human Emperor.
But Zhou Wen was stunned at such a critical moment and missed that moment.
"What a pity! You are really good at planning and using tricks." The Ten Perfect Swordsman had already regained control of his body, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
He also didn't expect that Jiang Yan could actually regain control of his body. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to shock him.
If Zhou Wen had not failed to react in time, he might have been seriously injured in that instant.
When he saw the Immortal-Slaying Sword in Zhou Wen's hand, he already knew Zhou Wen's identity and knew that Zhou Wen did have the ability to severely injure him.
"So Zhou Wen is the Human Emperor. What a shame! Humans are only human after all. Faced with the ultimate fear of death, they can't face it calmly. You missed your only chance and wasted your careful planning." The Ten Perfect Sword Immortal sneered and said, "Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan, you are indeed a talented person, but you chose the wrong person and stood on the wrong side."
Jiang Yan was so exhausted after using up all his strength that he couldn't even control his body to make any sound.
"Don't make the wrong choice again in your next life." The Ten Perfect Swordsman once again controlled the sword light to shoot out, intending to kill Zhou Wen.
But when he looked at Zhou Wen, he was surprised to find that Zhou Wen's body was actually emitting a strange aura, and that aura made him very disgusted and even a little scared.
"Terrorization? Wasn't that ball just now his terror-level power?" The Ten Perfect Swordsman looked at Zhou Wen suspiciously. He originally thought that the Chaos Egg was Zhou Wen's terror-level power.
But looking at the changes in Zhou Wen's body, it turned out to be a sign of his advancement to terror, which made him a little unbelievable.
He couldn't believe that a human who had fought with him for so long was not even at the Fear level.
However, the Ten Perfect Swordsman could not care less and sent thousands of sword lights stabbing down, no matter whether the enemy was at the Fear Level or the Myth Level before, he would kill him first.
The sword light like sunlight engulfed Zhou Wen, and in the sword light that made it impossible to look directly at it, a very discordant light suddenly appeared.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Tens of thousands of sword lights shattered like glass and flew everywhere. Millions of sword light fragments rose and danced, refracting the light, making the surrounding light become hazy and dreamy.
A ray of sword energy split the water and broke the waves, splitting the broken sword light in the sky into two sides, as if the sea was split in two, and a ray of sword light rushed straight towards the Ten Perfect Sword Immortal.
The Ten Perfect Swordsman condensed his sword fingers into one, gathered the sword light on his body into one, and faced the sword energy.
"All swords in heaven and on earth, in all directions, must obey my orders. If you fight me with a sword, you will be courting death..." As the Ten Perfect Swordsman spoke, his sword light had already collided with the sword energy.
boom!
The sword light and sword energy collided, causing a terrifying shock wave.
The Ten Perfect Swordsman was startled and dodged to the side, but he was still a little slow. The tail end of the sword energy swept across his cheek, leaving a blood mark and a drop of blood slowly dripping down his cheek.
"What's going on with that sword... Why can its power restrain my sword light... Impossible... How could there be a sword in this world... that I cannot control..." The Ten Perfect Sword Immortal stared at the opposite side with distorted eyes, only to see Zhou Wen holding the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand, walking towards him step by step, his heavenly clothes fluttering in the wind, and he was not injured.
"Why should I wait until the next life? I think I can choose again now." Zhou Wen felt the power in his body and the sword intent in the Sword of Immortal Slaying that roared like an evil spirit. It was the first time that he was able to control the Sword of Immortal Slaying so freely, rather than just drawing the sword and slashing.
