Lin Aoxue stood behind Xia Wang, her gaze fixed intently on the chaos before her. Anxiety burned within her, and her hands clenched into fists as she silently prayed for his safety.
Finally, as the last wisp of smoke dissipated into the wind, the sky revealed its azure hue once more. Sun Wu's figure hovered majestically in midair, his face like frost, exuding an undeniable aura of authority.
"If I had known it would come to this, why bother at all?" he spoke coldly, his tone laced with disdain for his opponent.
Below, two elderly servants could not contain their excitement and cheered for Sun Wu's triumph. However, in Lin Aoxue's heart, there was only bitterness; tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
"You will not leave us like this," she whispered, her eyes shimmering with determination and reluctance.
In that moment of despair intertwined with hope, a slightly languid yet confident voice echoed from afar, as if transcending the boundaries of time and space to strike at the heart.
"I've been waiting for you up here for so long; I thought you were dead."
Lin Aoxue's heart jolted at the words, and she quickly looked up toward the source of the voice. Sun Wu also wore a puzzled expression as he gazed upward.
There, high above in the heavens, stood Su Chen, leisurely riding the colorful Jin Dou Yun and shouldering the Ruyi Jingu Bang. With incredible speed, he had used the miraculous powers of Jin Dou Yun to teleport away from the battlefield just before the explosion struck.
"Hmph! What a tenacious little bug."
Sun Wu's eyes glinted with resolve and coldness; clearly, Su Chen's indomitable spirit and relentless resistance had thoroughly enraged him. He decided to employ his hidden secret techniques to end this battle once and for all.
As his deep and rhythmic chant resonated through the air, it felt as if time itself had frozen. A chilling and oppressive aura began to spread quietly around him.
Sun Wu's hands moved swiftly in the air, forming seals that contained ancient incantations and mysterious powers, as if he were communicating with an unseen realm of shadows.
With the completion of his incantation, the light in his hands grew increasingly brilliant. The Final coalesced into a complex and eerie talisman that emitted a faint black-purple glow. It was infused with a potent force of death that instilled fear in anyone who beheld it.
Suddenly, Sun Wu swung his hand forcefully; the talisman shot forth like an arrow released from a bow. The air along its path seemed to tear apart under the weight of its deadly power, producing piercing shrieks.
Su Chen felt the terrifying power contained within that talisman but maintained an unruffled demeanor, as if everything was well within his control.
Just as the talisman was about to make contact, a vast and sacred aura descended like a divine being from above, shaking the very ground beneath them.
"Great Sage Avatar, awaken!" he shouted. In an instant, the imposing figure of the Great Sage materialized in midair. The Final transformed into a towering presence that stood resolutely before Su Chen.
With a swing of his staff, it seemed as though he stirred the very laws of heaven and earth; the sun and moon dimmed in response while winds howled and sands flew—a display of power that transcended worldly bounds.
With a deafening roar, that single strike accurately struck Sun Wu's body. The terrifying force erupted instantly, completely suppressing him and extinguishing his arrogant spirit.
"You... you actually killed Sun Wu!" The two elderly servants below were left utterly shocked by this scene; their voices trembled with disbelief.
"You have committed an unforgivable crime! Sun Wu is the only son of the High Elder of the Holy Temple. Your actions are tantamount to declaring war against the entire Holy Temple! Not just you—everyone associated with you will face annihilation!" they accused angrily, their words laden with threats and intimidation.
