The ghost gate collapsed, black smoke rose up from all directions, and the lone souls hidden in the black smoke slowly filled the entire imperial city. The malicious howls were like a song that surrounded the Sword Demons and the Sword Saint.

"Your current appearance is no different from these wandering souls," The Thunder of Red Dawn that Sword Lord had transformed into glanced indifferently at the shocked Sword Demon, before he shot out a bolt of red lightning with lightning speed that could not cover his ears and tied him up tightly. He then coldly said, "Hand it over, Xian Fei, the Blood Sacrifice of the Emperor of Xuan, it is already too much for you to waste it."

Sword Demon wasn't afraid in the slightest. Instead, he mocked, "The deaths of these two were all planned by you. None of the people connected to your fate will have a good ending."

"Then go to hell!" The Sword Saint said firmly.

"That may not be so!" However, the Sword Demon only coldly smiled, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

The Sword Saint had nothing to say. Under his precise control, the red lightning binding the Sword Demon started to rage crazily, and just as he was about to detonate the power of thunder and lightning, a gold light fell from the sky and landed steadily on the Bloodthirsty Sword Demon's body.

Seeing this extraordinary scene, Sword Saint didn't even need to think before connecting it with Sytry. Filled with disbelief, Sword Lord lightly praised, "After so many years, you have truly mastered the power of space and time. Hehe."

As for the Sword Demon, he slowly rose under the cover of the golden light. His mood was completely relieved, thanks to his previous preparations, he left his last piece of advice, "Enjoy the Nightmare Devil Realm, regret for nothing." The Skeleton Sword Demon issued a crackling sound, stretched out the bone hand on its right arm, and gently threw down the bone sword.

With a flash, the Sword Saint kept the bone sword from the Blood Sacrifice. Watching the skeleton disappear with the golden light, he said from the bottom of his heart, "Many thanks!"

However, the danger had not disappeared with the Sword Demon. Ever since the ghost door had been destroyed, countless ghosts had been sealed inside, and many of them had come out.

The black smoke from the lonely souls slowly diffused outwards, but the red lightning from Sword Saint continued to hover in the sky. Boundless lightning energy formed an invisible barrier around his body, blocking the erosion of the eerie and deathly aura.

Streams of invisible ripples suddenly emerged from behind Sword Saint and spread out. Finally, they interweaved to form a gigantic black smoke barrier, and the sharp howls inside the barrier seemed to have been amplified, becoming extremely ear-piercing and suddenly enveloping Sword Saint's position, causing people to feel extremely upset. Sword Saint was also feeling uneasy, hence, he quickly leapt into the sky with a flash of lightning.

Looking around, the dead silence continued to spread endlessly. The entire imperial city had already fallen, if this continued, it would cause trouble for the innocent commoners. What should he do, the Sword Saint could only watch helplessly as the ghosts surged, not knowing what the result would be.

"Swordsman," a clear voice called out to the dazed Sword Saint. He opened his eyes wide and saw a delicate and pretty girl looking at him with her bright and beautiful eyes. "Stop thinking about it and make a decision to follow your heart, just like when you let that girl go."

"Xian Fei, I ?" The Sword Saint trembled in excitement. It was Xian Fei, it was her. His heart surged with emotions as he spoke incoherently, "You really are here."

"I've always been on your... "My heart ?" The afterimage became fainter and fainter, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Don't go, don't go," Sword Saint suddenly shook his head, only to realize that there was nothing in front of him. He sighed, recalling Xian Fei's words, the Sword Saint smiled and said to the sky, "All these years, I have been at fault too many times. Xuan Emperor, I haven't talked to you for a long time. If possible, I would like to have a good chat with you."

"This time, I will protect your country for once," Hearing the wails and screams of the world and the panicked screams of the people, Sword Saint made up his mind and released an angry roar that shook the world. At this moment, a wave of destructive energy descended from the sky and surrounded the land, Sword Saint's hands formed into a lightning bolt as he sincerely praised the oath, "The sword spirit hidden in my body, I am willing to use my body as the base and my soul as my slave. Please grant me the strength of a guardian for this living world."

The old voice suddenly rang out, "You made such a choice huh?" Right, this was the sword spirit that had been sealed in the Thunder Light Sword and had yet to open its blade.

"You?"

"Don't be surprised, this is where your heart is."

With that, a streak of nine colors floated over, enveloping Sword Saint's body. The elderly voice sounded out once again, "You are about to die, have you made your decision?"

The Sword Saint smiled in relief. In the face of death, he had actually seen the significance of his own existence. It was not to obey the call of that illusory organization, nor was it to be An Ran's Guardian King.

"Alright."

The Sword Saint realized that all of this was not a dream. The state of the Red Dawn Thunder had been broken, and the Sword Saint had already donned the Nine Colors Divine Thunder, standing proudly in the sky like the creator of the world.

Looking at the wild and lonely ghost on the ground, the Sword Saint's heart was filled with disgust. He clenched his fists and punched the place where the black smoke was most concentrated, Ji Yuan City. However, physical attacks did not mean much to these monsters.

Helpless, the Sword Saint used his final trump card. "Ten Divine Lightnings, annihilate the heavens and destroy the earth!" Sword Saint's righteous words contained a lot of unspoken emotion, but he did not have the slightest hesitation as he turned into the tenth color Divine Lightning and blended into the sky. In that instant, the ten Divine Lightnings destroyed the Nightmare Devil Realm's remnant soup with a roar.

Divine light illuminated the earth, protecting the Profound Emperor's home. Sword Saint, who had already turned into a bolt of lightning, smiled in relief, waiting for his life to come to an end.

"You should not die," the Sword Soul's incomparably old voice rang out again, "The king will do his best to protect your body, and the king will no longer do anything for you. Your sin, you will redeem it yourself, so even if anything happens, you don't need to be surprised, because you are already dead."

Amidst these words, dazzling golden lights appeared one after another. An enormous explosive sound engulfed the entire Nine Prefectures Empire.
