At this moment, the iron sword seemed to be connected to the sword aura phantom surrounding Serene Dark’s body, and the sword intent was overwhelming.
Such a terrifying momentum far surpassed Theodore’s previous display of the unity of man and sword.
Serene Dark held the iron sword, locking his sword intent onto Leo, making it impossible for Leo to evade.
Then, Serene Dark stepped on the ground and his speed skyrocketed, like a dazzling light, shooting towards Leo.
Jason involuntarily clenched his fists.
“That kid is done for!” Theodore couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
In the eyes of Theodore and the others, Leo definitely couldn’t dodge the earth-shattering strike from the Elder!
Leo’s eyes turned icy, and with a gesture of his right hand, the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak appeared in his hand.
With a thought, the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak left Leo’s palm and headed towards Serene Dark, who carried the terrifying sword aura.
“Buzz…”
On the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak, a deep and dark light flickered.
In just an instant, the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak grew and transformed into a small mountain.
Mysterious black runes emerged from the mountain, making the enlarged Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak appear extraordinarily mystical.
Its massive and imposing presence gave off an extremely powerful sense of oppression.
This sudden change not only shocked Theodore, Ocean Source, and Jason who were watching, but also made Serene Dark, who had achieved the unity of man and sword, change his expression, filled with astonishment.
They were all witnessing for the first time such a magical object that could transform and enlarge.
Although shocked, Serene Dark didn’t hesitate for a moment and continued to advance!
“Boom!”
Carrying a thirty-meter-long terrifying sword aura, Serene Dark collided fiercely with the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
The resulting force was like a small nuclear explosion.
After persisting for a few seconds, the sword aura showed signs of crumbling.
Serene Dark’s eyes widened, his hair danced wildly, and his clothes rustled. The sword intent erupted once again, solidifying the crumbling sword aura.
The enlarged Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak, pressed against by the sword aura, retreated towards Leo’s direction.
Leo’s expression turned cold as he mobilized his Spiritual Power and physical strength to the extreme.
In the next second, Leo stomped on the ground with great force and shot out like a cannonball.
“Bang!”
Leo’s palms fiercely slapped the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
The momentum of the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak halted for a moment, and a tremendously powerful recoil force surged towards Serene Dark on the other side.
The earth-shattering sword aura immediately crumbled, dissolving into white light dots, disappearing from sight.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Serene Dark’s mouth.
The iron sword revealed its true form, with the tip of the sword pressed against the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak, locked in a stalemate.
A sharp light flashed in Leo’s eyes as his Spiritual Power erupted once again. He forcefully pushed off the ground with both feet.
The power of his palms erupted once again!
“Boom!”
The Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak surged forward by one meter, smashing into Serene Dark along with Leo.
Serene Dark’s emaciated body was directly sent flying.
“Elder!” Theodore, Ocean Source, and others exclaimed in shock.
In mid-air, Serene Dark flipped his body and landed forcefully on the ground with his powerful energy.
However, the immense inertia still caused him to retreat several steps before stabilizing his figure.
“Puff!”
Serene Dark’s face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Obviously, the collision earlier had caused significant internal injuries.
Leo didn’t stop his attack. He lifted the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak with both palms and, with a step on the ground, his speed skyrocketed as he charged towards Serene Dark.
Immediately, Leo tossed the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak once again, aiming to strike Serene Dark.
Theodore exclaimed urgently, “Elder, be careful!”
Seeing the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak descending like a mountain, Serene Dark’s expression changed drastically. The power surged within him, and his body turned into an afterimage, escaping the range of the descending Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
“Boom!”
The mountain-like Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak smashed into the ground, causing the earth to tremble as it sank about a foot deep.
If Serene Dark hadn’t dodged, he would have been crushed into a pulp.
Leo swiftly leaped and stood on the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak, his gaze sharp as he looked at the evading Serene Dark.
With a flip of his right hand, Leo unleashed Wind Blade Talismans.
In mid-air, hundreds of wind blades appeared out of thin air.
Seeing Leo about to launch another attack, Serene Dark suddenly spoke, “Young friend, hold on. I surrender in this battle.”
Serene Dark was currently in a difficult situation. The previous collision with the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak had caused considerable trauma to him.
In order to evade the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak, he had forcefully used his body movement technique, depleting his internal energy.
If he continued to fight forcefully, he would be risking what little remaining lifespan he had.
Serene Dark’s sudden surrender surprised Leo, as he knew that Serene Dark hadn’t suffered severe injuries and could continue the fight.
“Young friend, your mastery of techniques is excellent, and your talismans and spiritual treasures are eye-opening. I willingly admit defeat,” Serene Dark said again.
“Elder!”
Theodore and the others found it difficult to accept the surrender of the Elder, who was a semi-Warrior King.
Jason, on the other hand, had a delighted expression.
Leo arrogantly said, “Since you surrender, what should be done with the Spirit Jade Vein?”
“Regarding this Spirit Jade Vein in this place, it naturally belongs to you, young friend,” Serene Dark replied reluctantly.
Although Serene Dark felt resentful, he had no choice but to concede.
Serene Dark turned to Theodore and the others, saying, “Master, elders, let’s go.”
“Yes, Elder,” Theodore replied with a pained expression, having no choice but to obey the words of the highly ranked Elder.
To a sect, the Spirit Jade Vein was incredibly precious. Iron Sword Sect was about to excavate it but ended up providing it to someone else.
Theodore, Ocean Source, and the others looked at Leo with resentment and walked towards the two golden eagles.
“Hold on!” Leo interrupted.
“Young friend, what else do you have?” Serene Dark stopped in his tracks and looked at Leo.
Leo looked at Serene Dark, his gaze cold, “This vein doesn’t belong to Iron Sword Sect in the first place. It is only right for you to hand it over.”
“I put in so much effort and even damaged the Blue Phantom Sword just to defeat all of you, and now you want to walk away?”
Serene Dark was momentarily stunned, then said in a deep voice, “In the world of cultivation, the law of the jungle follows the principle of the weak being preyed upon by the strong. Although the Pater family obtained the Spirit Jade Vein, they were powerless. Even if they weren’t taken by Iron Sword Sect, they would be seized by other Martial Arts Sects.”
“Young friend, your strength surpasses ours. Iron Sword Sect surrenders willingly and will hand over the Spirit Jade Vein that already belongs to us. Is there anything you’re not satisfied with?”
Leo sneered, “It’s true that the law of the jungle exists, and if you had merely seized the Spirit Jade Vein discovered by the Pater family, it would be acceptable. But you actually colluded with the Mclean family to force the Pater family into a marriage. Such methods are despicable.”
Serene Dark didn’t know about the forced marriage incident. After giving Theodore and the others a sideways glance, he looked at Leo and asked, “Young friend, if you don’t intend to let us go, what do you plan to do?”
