"Xie Qing King, if you do not know when to relent, then do not blame me for the actions I take . " Holy-Sword Emperor's fear soured and became anger when he saw how cocky and boisterous the old spirit continued to be .
Holy-Sword Emperor raised his hands as he had before, and his ten fingers quickly became ten lethal swords . But it went above and beyond what Han Sen had previously endured . The ten split up into a hundred . The hundred split up into a thousand . The thousand then split up into ten thousand .
A ten thousand-strong army of swords departed the caster's hand, flew up high, and hung in the air . They cloaked the entire sky, making the world below look doomed .
Han Sen was shocked, seeing all those swords hovering above the lake with their pointy ends facing down . He grabbed ahold of Bao'er and readied himself to escape .
Xie Qing King was unfazed by this threat, though . The silver that coursed around and across his body burned brighter than ever .
The swords began to drop . But just as this occurred, the light inside Xie Qing King seemed to diminish and look almost wholly extinguished .
Yet he did not retreat or step down . As the color faded away, he just stood there, watching the swords fall like rain .

Boom!
As the Storm of Swords began, the color of the skies changed . The world was about to become a ragged pincushion .
As Xie Qing King witnessed the descent of all those swords, his silver light return brighter than ever before, like a flashbang . As that light encompassed the area, he threw a punch upwards as if to knockout the sky itself .
Boom!
The silver light annihilated the mist of swords as if they were all composed of wafer-thin, brittle copper .
The silver light then moved towards Holy-Sword Emperor . The spirit's face was one of utter shock, but it didn't last . Within the course of the next second, he was vaporized by the fallout of that blinding flash .
When the light subsided and the sky cleared up again, Xie Qing King coldly said, "No one threatens me . "

After that, he fell to the ground . All the healing he had received was gone again, and the wounds across his body opened up once more . The lifeforce was now so low, he could pass for an ordinary human .
With Bao'er, Han Sen stepped forward to examine Xie Qing King . When they did, they noticed his lifeforce was in a state that was beyond recovery; he was dying .
Being so injured and casting an attack like that anyway could be ruinous . It was fortunate he did not outright die through some sort of wicked implosion, brought on by the buckling of a weakened body trying to cast such a terrifying attack .
But Han Sen admired him even more now . The bravery he displayed was exemplary .
Han Sen was considering using the silver fox's healing power to try and save him, or at least stop the bleeding, but suddenly, a noise sounded . Holy-Sword Emperor was still alive, crawling to his feet from beneath a mound of broken sword pieces .
"No way! I saw him explode . He was vaporized!" Han Sen looked on in disbelief .
Xie Qing King was in an equal amount of shock . He mumbled, "There is no way you survived that attack of mine . "
Holy-Sword Emperor coldly growled, "You really are good . You broke my Storm of Swords; if it wasn't for my Holy-Sword Doll, I'd have been killed . Using it now was a grand loss, but it will have been worth it, if it has granted me the opportunity to kill someone as prestigious as you . "

When Holy-Sword Emperor said this, he ran towards Xie Qing King in a huff . Then he stepped on his face .
Holy-Sword Emperor made it sound as if he didn't mind the loss of the Holy-Sword Doll, but in truth, it bitterly stung him . It had cost him a fortune to grow it .
But he hated Xie Qing King, and having his scroll of the phoenix stolen drove him mad . He hated his guts .
Xie Qing King looked at Holy-Sword Emperor with eyes that were filled with disdain .
Holy-Sword Emperor hated that look, so he rubbed his foot in his face harder and applied as much pressure as he could .
Suddenly, a golden light appeared and Holy-Sword Emperor felt a strange power approach . It was Han Sen, clutching his Phoenix Sword .
"You are just a human; do you really wish to threaten me with that? I can kill you in the blink of an eye . But unlike this prehistoric fool, you won't respawn . " Holy-Sword Emperor knew Han Sen was a human, and he thought that Xie Qing King had simply taken Han Sen as an average human slave .
"You're right; I can't respawn . " Han Sen smirked, and then went on to say, "Killing someone in battle is fair play, but humiliating someone like him is wrong . You can't humiliate him . "
Hearing this, Xie Qing King's eyes jumped a little . What he was now thinking about, though, none could guess .
"Hahaha! You can't tell me what to do . No one tells me what to do, ever! You are in no position to lick my boots clean, let alone lecture me about humiliating an old fart that's past his prime . " Holy-Sword Emperor brought his foot down harder, and then barked, "I will break your limbs one by one, boy . And I'll make you watch how I slowly torture and humiliate this worthless spirit . And once I'm done with him, I'll skin you alive and wear you for a coat!"
Holy-Sword Emperor summoned a few more swords and fired them towards Han Sen .
Han Sen swung his sword to knock the incoming projectiles away . Then he said, "Don't embarrass me with such lame attacks . Come on, show me what you've really got . "
Han Sen knew Holy-Sword Emperor would come for him eventually, and a fight between them was inevitable . If he wanted to maintain his control of Sword-Furnace Shelter, though, he had to learn how to beat the spirit . Now was the time he could put his strength to the test .
"D*mn you!" Holy-Sword Emperor now felt like the one being humiliated . He couldn't believe a human was brazen enough to speak to him like that .
Another ten thousand swords were summoned, all propped up in his direction, prepared to skin Han Sen alive .
But Han Sen was still calm, and all of a sudden, the wings of a crow formed upon his back .
