The first four transformations of the Nine Transformations of Qiankun only slightly injured the Shadow, which greatly surprised Liu Zixuan.

He thought to himself: Truly worthy of being an Imperial realm master! Although it's just half a step, this kind of leap is incredible!

Liu Zixuan did not feel discouraged for failing to injure the Shadow. On the contrary, he felt more combat spirit and anticipation!

He looked forward to finding a suitable opportunity to break through to the Imperial realm, because he could feel that the realm above the Imperial is fundamentally different from below!

Whether it is speed or the inner strength of the cultivation technique.

The two black daggers came towards his face, and a Nameless Sword suddenly appeared in Liu Zixuan's hand. Not only did he not retreat, he also struck forward with the Nameless Sword.

Clang!

Clang!

Two crisp and bright sounds echoed as the Nameless Sword directly blocked the black daggers.

The Shadow's eyes burned as he looked at the Nameless Sword, murmuring, "Truly an unparalleled weapon. If I kill you, this treasure will be mine!"

"That depends on whether you have the capability!"

Liu Zixuan grinned, maneuvering the Nameless Sword to clash with the Shadow.

The battle between the two seemed completely incomprehensible to the onlookers, but it was evident that the Shadow had a slight upper hand, possibly due to the realm advantage over Liu Zixuan!

Luo Xi looked on with a worried expression, breaking into a cold sweat for Liu Zixuan, while Fan Xingkong's face was especially grim!

He hoped, even prayed, for Liu Zixuan to win, otherwise, if Liu Zixuan lost, he would suffer under Lord Jin's torment! At that time, he would be in utter agony, unable to imagine the scene!

In contrast, Lord Jin wore a smug expression on his face.

Watching the Shadow's elusive figure in battle with Liu Zixuan, who mostly seemed to defend, he thought that it wouldn't be long before Liu Zixuan was defeated.

He then glanced at Fan Xingkong and said with a meaningful smile, "Fan Xingkong, after supporting you for so long, you betrayed me, and now Liu Zixuan is about to lose; aren't you going to do something?"

"I will not beg for mercy!"

Fan Xingkong wasn't foolish; if he begged, it would surely result in mockery followed by Lord Jin's torment.

Rather than being humble, he might as well be strong; even if he died, it wouldn't be disgraceful!

Lord Jin didn't expect Fan Xingkong to say that, and after a moment of confusion, he laughed, "If you insist on dying, I can't stop you!"

"Old man, mind your own business first!"

Liu Zixuan withdrew a few steps swiftly, glanced at Lord Jin, and cursed.

Lord Jin snorted coldly, "These words should be meant for you, Liu Zixuan. Look at your own situation!"

"I'm doing just fine!"

Liu Zixuan smiled sternly, looking at the Shadow, "Thanks for being my sparring partner; it's time to end this battle!"

"Do you have another trump card?"

The Shadow was slightly taken aback, initially thinking the Nine Transformations of Qiankun was Liu Zixuan's trump card.

"Do I need another trump card to kill you?"

Liu Zixuan held the Nameless Sword before him, released five Ghost Gate Needles, and in an instant, the five Ghost Gate Needles circled around the Nameless Sword!

"Nine Transformations of Qiankun, Ghost Gate Inversion, Sword Breaks Yin and Yang!"

With a flash, the Profound Yang and Profound Yin Silver Needles suddenly shot out, followed by the Profound Thunder, Profound Cloud, and Profound Spirit needles attaching to the Nameless Sword, directly aiming to strike the Shadow.

Suddenly, a terrifying, chilling wave appeared. A dazzling light emerged from the Nameless Sword, instantly transforming into a meteor-like beam that pierced through.

"Crazy Reverse Wind Shadow!"

The Shadow repeated an old trick, causing two afterimages to appear once again, trying to block the powerful strike as before.

But unexpectedly, the Profound Spirit and Profound Cloud needles pierced through his afterimages, while the Nameless Sword headed straight for his heart.

A bolt of lightning from the Profound Thunder Needle struck precisely at the sword blade of the Nameless Sword.

Thwack!

Harnessing the powerful lightning, the Nameless Sword pierced directly through the Shadow's chest! The black robe was instantly soaked!

"Just this isn't enough to kill me!"

The Shadow's face was ferocious, gritting his teeth as he pulled the Nameless Sword from his chest, revealing a shocking wound!

Throwing the Nameless Sword to the ground, the Shadow's two daggers suddenly merged into a double-edged weapon.

Throwing it fiercely towards Liu Zixuan.

"If you had used this move earlier, it could have killed me, but now... it's too late!"

Liu Zixuan slowly raised the corners of his mouth. During the battle with the Shadow, his constant defense wasn't because he couldn't retaliate, but because he was studying the Shadow's moves and speed trajectory!

If focused only on attacking, it would have been difficult to catch the Shadow's figure and speed trajectory.

But now, Liu Zixuan fully understood him, forcibly pouring inner strength into the Nameless Sword and the five Ghost Gate Needles to first injure the Shadow!

Is an injured early-stage Imperial realm master still a match for a peak King realm expert?

It's worth mentioning that besides the five Ghost Gate Needles and the Nameless Sword, Liu Zixuan also had the Nether Spirit Needle!

As the double-edged weapon shot towards Liu Zixuan, the Profound Yin and Profound Yang Silver Needles floating mid-air shot it to the ground.

Suddenly, the Nether Spirit Needle appeared in Liu Zixuan's hand.

"Nine Transformations of Qiankun, Nether Spirit Needle manifests, Ghost Gate Open, Ancient Flame Roars!"

Liu Zixuan recited the Sixteen Character Qiankun Technique, and a sinister aura emanated from the Nether Spirit Needle, transforming into a shadowy phantom, heading directly for the Shadow's forehead.

Thwack!

Caught off guard, a red line of blood spurted from the Shadow's forehead, and he fell to the ground with a bang, lifeless!

Watching the Shadow die, Liu Zixuan slowly exhaled, blood rushing up, causing a mouthful of blood to trickle from his lips.

After all, with the realm difference, forcibly integrating the Nameless Sword into the Nine Transformations of Qiankun nearly reached Liu Zixuan's inner strength limit!

That strongest blow just now, Liu Zixuan could only execute it once at this stage!

If there were another Imperial realm expert nearby, Liu Zixuan might have no choice but to surrender, left to the mercy of others!

Fortunately, what remained of Lord Jin was just an old fellow with inconvenient legs!

After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he turned to Lord Jin with a mocking smile and said, "Jin, do you still have any means to save your life now?"

"This... how is this possible!" Lord Jin, already handicapped, found himself even more powerless. Over the years, the four brothers helped him conquer the world, and the Shadow hidden in the background helped him maintain his position, allowing him the reputation just below the ten influential figures.

But now, his most reliant Shadow was killed by Liu Zixuan!

"In this world, there's no obstacle you cannot cross, nor an unkillable person!" Liu Zixuan murmured while walking towards Lord Jin.
