Chapter 3744
- Clang! The sound of metal clashing rang in the air. Slash! Soon after, the sound of flesh being cut could be heard as well. When the Jasper Celestial Sword collided with the Dharma Rod, it released its destructive power that seemed capable of destroying the world. It sent the Dharma Rod flying and severed Sam’s arm from its socket. Blood gushed out of Sam’s shoulder, creating a ghastly scene. After the Dharma Rod and the arm holding it were separated from Sam’s body, it flew into a distance like an arrow that had been shot out from its bow. It disappeared before everyone’s eyes in just a blink of an eye. However, its speed was still lacking compared to the Jasper Celestial Sword. The force from the Jasper Celestial Sword that seemed capable of destroying the world did not only knock the Dharma Rod away from Sam, but it even severed Sam’s arm! All of this happened in just a split second. After this, the Jasper Celestial Sword’s speed slowed down but it did not change its trajectory as it headed for Sam. It was heading for the spot between Sam’s brows! It seemed as though the sword would not rest until Sam was dead. Sam felt chills running up his spines as though someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water on him. A horrified expression appeared on Sam’s face when he saw the sword heading for the spot between his brows. He cried out in alarm, “Sh*t!” Just as the Jasper Celestial Sword was about to pierce through the spot between Sam’s brows — Whoosh! A figure jumped out of Sam’s gigantic body. It was the smaller figure of Sam. This figure instantly fled far away after it said, “Black Kshetra Sect! Fire Worship Sect! I, Sam, will forever remember this enmity!” It did not take long before the figure disappeared. Splat! At the same time, the Jasper Celestial Sword had also penetrated the spot between Sam’s brows, causing blood to splatter everywhere. “Soul Detaching Form?” Although it seemed as though David Bishop had managed to kill Sam with the Jasper Celestial Sword, he knew Sam’s soul had managed to escape at the last second. His soul had already fled far away at this moment. What he had killed was only Sam’s body, an empty shell now that Sam’s soul was no longer in its body. The Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was also known as the Soul Detaching Form. When a powerhouse had cultivated to this level, his or her soul would be free from the shackles of their bodies. The soul would be able to function normally even when it was out of its physical body. If the physical body was destroyed, the soul would be able to create a body after a certain period of time. 'It’s a pity that I’ve exhausted the Sun Saint Origin in my body. Otherwise, I can chase after Sam’s soul. Moreover, since my soul is only at the Saint Celestial Stage Sun’s Flame, I can’t cast any soul offense technique to chase after him as well!' David Bishop thought to himself with a sigh when he saw Sam fleeing. It was not that he did not want to kill Sam, but he was currently powerless to do so. After Sam cast the Soul Detaching Technique exclusive to powerhouses at or above the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, although his speed was not its peak, it was still the speed of a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. 'Based on his words before he left, it seems like he holds a grudge against the Black Kshetra Sect as well!' A hint of bewilderment could be seen in David Bishop’s eyes when he thought about Sam’s parting words. 'Moreover, it seems like he hates the Black Kshetra Sect more than he hates the Fire Worship Sect!' Sam came to help the Black Kshetra Sect. However, because of that, he had lost his body and had to flee in a wretched state. Since he had lost his physical body, he could only steal someone else’s body or create a new body for himself. He could only regain his full power if he created a new body, but it would take a longer time for him to do so. He had decided to help the Black Kshetra Sect in exchange for some benefits. The saying, ‘Going out for wool, but coming home shorn’ described him perfectly at this moment. He definitely did not expect such an outcome. 'Sam must hate Black Kshetra Sect to the core since it’s their fault for inviting him here to fight me without doing proper research on my strength. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a wretched state!' David Bishop could faintly guess Sam’s thoughts when he put himself in Sam’s shoes. If Sam knew about David Bishop’s strength earlier, he would not have fought David Bishop no matter what the Black Kshetra Sect had offered him. 'However, even I didn’t expect that my attack would be so powerful after I send all my Sun Saint Origin that has been raised by the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, into the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword!' When David Bishop recalled how the Jasper Celestial Sword had crushed Sam’s attack without any difficulty and sent the Dharma Rod flying, he was slightly surprised as well. He was not 100% certain of the outcome even though he had used all his strength to attack. At that time, he had felt slightly anxious as well. After all, Sam was the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, and he even possessed the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod. He was invincible among the powerhouses below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. If David Bishop did not exist, Sam’s strike would be befitting of someone who was widely known as the strongest powerhouse below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, compared to David Bishop’s strike, Sam’s strike that contained all his might paled in comparison. 'The gap between the force of his strike and mine isn’t that wide, but even a tiny gap makes a huge difference at our level. For this reason, he ended up in such a miserable state!' David Bishop counted himself lucky when he thought about this. 'If I didn’t use all my Sun Saint Origin and merge them with the Jasper Celestial Sword, and wasted it on casting Divine Abilities or consolidating my 10,000 Swords Territory to conceal the sword, my attack might not be able to overpower Sam’s attack. The outcome might be reversed if I’ve wasted even a little of my Sun Saint Origin. I would’ve been defeated or killed!' He broke out in cold sweat the more he thought about it. He felt his decision to risk exposing the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword, was the right decision. Even if people found out about how extraordinary it was, it would still be worth it. After all, he managed to survive because of it. While David Bishop was deep in thoughts, people in the surroundings began to regain their senses one by one.
