The sword blade, streaking like a comet, did not descend upon Serat but instead struck the coffin lid that had been opened in front of He Ao.
The suspended coffin lid, jarred fiercely by the sharp sword blade, abruptly flew out and, like a comet, headed straight for Serat's head.
The coffin lid blocked out the brilliance from above, and a brief shadow covered Serat's figure.
Serat raised the golden greatsword in his hand and leapt up, bisecting the incoming coffin lid in two, then slashed towards the spot where He Ao had stood.
But He Ao had already sprung away from his original spot with a powerful leap and a sidewards somersault the moment he lifted the coffin lid.
Boom——
The massive golden greatsword crashed down on the coffin where He Ao had just been standing, shattering the entire coffin to pieces.
Serat landed on a coffin in the third row, holding the golden greatsword and watching He Ao,
The hefty back of the blade now showed that the sword ring had advanced to eight.
