One sword!
Just one sword!
With a single strike, the word "kill" shattered, the Qingming collapsed, and the Golden Core was destroyed!
Liu Zhen was in mid-air, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.
How could a Golden Core expert die so easily? Even if their body perished, the Golden Core could still survive.
But Xu Yang's sword was simply too fast, so fast that Liu Zhen didn't even have time to react. With a single strike, the Golden Core shattered, and he was already dead.
Suddenly, Liu Zhen, high in the sky, fell with a crash, his body splitting into two parts.
The old man's eyes filled with terror.
This was terrifying, truly too powerful.
But why couldn't he fly?
He couldn't even comprehend it, and now, he couldn't continue thinking. All he could feel was the imminent threat of death.
Xu Yang's next target was surely him.
"Seven Words, One Kill! Seven Kill Fusion!"
The old man howled in rage, pouring all his half-step Nascent Soul power into the formation disk. The great formation in the air seemed to solidify, and a massive, oppressive killing intent rose into the sky, forming a blood-red "kill" character.
Heaven itself issued a killing aura, as if the stars themselves were shifting!
This character seemed like the will of the heavens to kill!
It was far more powerful than the first strike!
Every stroke of the word seemed to come from a sea of corpses and blood, each stroke resembling the sword and blade of heaven and earth, annihilating all living creatures!
"Kid, dying under my Seven Kill ultimate move, you can be proud of yourself. Too bad, you are too arrogant to charge into my Yunshan Sect alone and let me calmly set up the formation. Now, you will die!"
The old man's eyes were full of killing intent. The fusion of the Seven Kills was an absolute strike. Even Nascent Soul experts would surely die under this blow.
Then, he took out a knife.
"This knife is called the Mad Blade, forged by my master. It used all the resources of Yunshan Sect, took the entirety of Qi Prefecture, and took forty-nine days to forge. Every strike with this blade demands blood, and I'll use it to send you on your way!"
"Mad Blade Slash!"
The old man's white hair flew in the wind. Unlike Liu Zhen, he did not follow with a formation but instead controlled the knife to strike!
"Seven Kill!"
Xu Yang smiled. This so-called Seven Kill was nothing compared to even half the power of the true Seven Kill formation.
He realized that many ancient techniques were incomplete or even lost to time.
If he wanted to break the formation disk, it would be effortless.
But he didn't do that.
"Do you know why you will die?" Xu Yang asked.
"Because, you talk too much!"
"I can't fly, but I can jump!"
"The so-called Seven Kill is just a joke."
Xu Yang leapt into the air, rising several dozen zhang.
"Your Daoist techniques these years have disappointed me!"
"Extreme Fate Sword!"
Xu Yang raised his sword, the tip of the blade gleaming coldly, suddenly thrusting forward with deadly intent.
"Yellow-grade lower-tier Daoist technique, Extreme Fate Sword? No, this Extreme Fate Sword is different!"
The old man's expression changed, sensing something was wrong.
In an instant, Xu Yang's sword collided with the fusion of the Seven Kills ultimate move, and the immense killing intent from the "kill" character began to tremble violently.
Crack!
The killing character, which was almost solid, suddenly cracked open with a deep fissure.
Then, like a spider's web, it exploded with a loud crash.
Bang!
The formation disk in the air trembled violently. The strength of such an ultimate strike was too much for it to withstand. The Seven Kills united was broken and backfired, shattering into pieces.
The old man was horrified. This wasn't human—how could a human do this?
The blade strike he had made was actually shattered by the aftershock of the so-called Extreme Fate Sword.
However, Xu Yang took advantage of the explosion's residual force, using it to propel himself upwards, colliding directly with the Mad Blade.
But Xu Yang merely waved his long sword, and the treasured blade, forged by Yunshan Sect's founder and crafted with the full strength of Qi Prefecture, seemed like a piece of paper, shattering into fragments and flying off.
There wasn't even a standoff.
Xu Yang's gaze fell on the old man.
The old man was falling into an abyss, the blazing sun overhead, but there was no warmth.
"He... he wants to kill me!"
"Escape, I must escape, yes, he can't fly, I must escape quickly!"
"This enmity, only when my lord returns, will he annihilate Yunshan Sect. Though I hate it, I must endure!"
The old man quickly understood everything. Xu Yang's two swords had completely overturned his perception.
Especially the second sword's Extreme Fate Sword—it was just an ordinary yellow-grade Dao technique, gathering power at the tip of the sword, a self-destructive technique.
Yet in Xu Yang's hands, even the ultimate Seven Kills strike couldn't compare.
This was at least the power of an Earth-grade sword technique. Was this really the Extreme Fate Sword he knew?
He couldn't fathom it, and didn't dare to think further.
The old man immediately turned and fled, his body soaring like the wind.
He was a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, and if he wanted to escape, Xu Yang could never catch up.
Xu Yang watched the old man fleeing, then suddenly threw the Life-saving Sword at him.
The Life-saving Sword streaked through the air, leaving several sword shadows.
Boom!
The old man, high in the distance, suddenly staggered. Green light surrounded him, and a figure appeared.
"You brat, you dare to destroy my Yunshan Sect!"
A middle-aged man appeared, his eyes blazing as he saw the wreckage of Yunshan Sect.
"There really are experts from the Cave Heaven Realm?"
Xu Yang was surprised. No wonder the old man could withstand his sword. Even though this was only a projection of a Cave Heaven expert, and he hadn't used much strength.
"Today, you won't kill my servant. But in the future, I will personally come to kill you!"
The old man laughed joyously and said, "Hahaha, how pitiful! You Tianlan Sect have endured countless years, only for it to be all in vain. As long as our lord returns, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will die without a doubt!"
But before Xu Yang could speak—
The Life-saving Sword suddenly floated up by itself.
The middle-aged man immediately sensed something was wrong and his eyes flashed with surprise.
"A spiritual sword... this is a spiritual sword!"
A sword that gives birth to a spiritual entity is a spiritual sword, and a spiritual sword at its peak can even give birth to a sword spirit!
This kid actually has a spiritual sword!
Before he could finish his words, the Life-saving Sword exploded, charging directly at the middle-aged man in the green light, slashing fiercely.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The middle-aged man's face turned pale, and the old man was so terrified that his soul nearly left his body. The green light shield in front of them was already covered with countless cracks.
"Run!"
The middle-aged man shouted.
But it was too late.
Crack!
The jade pendant in the old man's chest shattered, and the green light shield along with the middle-aged man disappeared without a trace.
The middle-aged man had added a restriction technique to the old man's jade pendant so that when the old man faced a life-threatening crisis, the residual consciousness within would activate.
But he never expected that the seemingly flightless Xu Yang possessed a spiritual sword.
The old man turned to flee, only to be split in half by the Life-saving Sword.
A dull Golden Core suddenly flew out, and the Life-saving Sword stabbed directly into the Golden Core, its light flowing and absorbing all the Golden Core's power into the sword.
"The sect leader is dead!"
"The founding ancestor is dead! It's over, the founding ancestor hasn't returned!"
"It's over, Yunshan Sect is destroyed by one person!"
The disciples of Yunshan Sect witnessed the entire battle. What seemed to take a long time was actually just a few minutes. In that time, the sect's greatest treasures were all destroyed.
The Foundation Building realm, with only Zhang Ye left, but Zhang Ye was a traitor.
At this moment, Zhang Ye could no longer suppress the shock in his heart. Though he had hoped Xu Yang would win, it was for his own survival. But Xu Yang single-handedly brought down the entire Yunshan Sect.
He never wanted Yunshan Sect to be destroyed!
He was completely stunned.
The entire mountain was littered with corpses. The aftershocks of the battle between the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms had killed countless disciples of Yunshan Sect.
The smell of blood filled the air!
The number one sect in Qi Prefecture, Yunshan Sect, was destroyed!
