Chapter 925 The Evil Dragon Probes Its Claws Across Ten Thousand Mountains (Part 2)
To establish authority through murder?
It was just something I did on a whim.

Before Su Che had even drawn his sword, he merely conjured a wisp of sword energy in the air and cleaved the Green Corpse Daoist in two.

The sword intent, as condensed as moonlight, was silent and cold, winding down from the sky like a venomous python devouring a bull, swift and violent.

The mere Qing Shi Daoist at the Huan Dan realm had his protective magic weapon destroyed by this sword strike.

With the departure of the Green Corpse Taoist, the Flying Yaksha beside him, which had been trained for many years, roared ferociously, and it seemed that something else was about to happen.

Su Che flicked his finger, and a chill shot out from his fingertip, transforming into a dragon shadow that swallowed it whole.

In a casual manner, he killed two Core Formation Realm cultivators. Princess Ning'an and the centipede, who were still fighting fiercely on the side, were both stunned by Su Che's chilling sword intent and dared not move.

"Such swordsmanship is truly unheard of. I don't even have the courage to draw my sword when facing this person."

The young swordsman who came with Princess Ning'an was filled with trepidation. He came from the East Sea Sword Palace and was considered a prominent swordsman among the younger generation. However, when faced with Su Che's chilling sword intent, which was like moonlight from beyond the sky, he felt an indescribable discomfort all over his body.

Regardless of that, this was a new technique that Young Master Su had just mastered. It was based on swordsmanship, incorporating the corrupting influence of the demonic sect and the transformative power of Buddhism, combining them into a sword that attacked the mind.

When he made his move, he used the sword intent and spirit to directly target the soul, first severing the mind and then the body. Although he had not yet perfected his technique, it had already achieved the effect of seizing people's will.

It might not be very effective against advanced cultivators, but it's more than enough for those cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage.

"This...this king..."

Millipedes still retain some intelligence.

“This land belongs to my master, the Iron-Backed Dragon King. Every blade of grass, every tree, every grain of sand, and every stone on this mountain has an owner. That giant python is also a descendant of my king. When did it become yours?”

It's still there, rambling on.

"This beast is certainly talkative."

Jin Yunu wrapped her arms around Su Che's arm, her soft, smooth body nuzzling against him.

“Every blade of grass and every tree in these Hundred Thousand Mountains is the ancestral property of our sect. Not to mention that long snake just now, even your king would have to call us ‘Master’ when he sees us.”

Jin Yunu spoke so arrogantly that Su Che didn't want to stop her.

"What arrogance! My king often says that heaven creates all things, earth sustains all things, heaven and earth give birth to them but do not possess them, act but do not claim them, nurture but do not dominate them. What is your family's background that makes you even more extravagant than heaven and earth?"

This centipede is honest and straightforward by nature. It believes whatever it believes and never knows how to change its mind halfway. Even now that someone has a knife to its throat, it still says whatever it wants.

"Hmph, let me let you know that we are immortals who have achieved success in cultivation within the Longevity Sect. Back then, my ancestors planted countless spiritual roots and herbs and raised countless spiritual insects and beasts in these Hundred Thousand Mountains. The venomous python we just saw was also recorded in my family's records."

"Wow, so just because someone looks at something makes it their property? What an amazing rule."

The centipede, with its neck stiff, said, "Such domineering behavior, no wonder it's a demon from the south."

"It's good to know."

Jin Yunu took out a clean bottle from her sleeve and shook it slightly at the centipede. The centipede lost control of its energy flow and revealed its true form.

It was a thousand-legged venomous insect of unknown length, which had clearly also obtained the secrets of the dragon seed. Half of its head had already transformed into a snake shape, and it had embarked on the magnificent path of dragon-snake transformation.

Jin Yunu tossed the clean bottle into the air, and immediately a Yin Demon transformed into a wisp of cold mist, which rolled the centipede inside and collected it into the bottle.

Su Che glanced at it briefly but didn't say anything more.

The jade bottle in Jin Yunu's hand has quite a history. It is a magical artifact that Venerable Lingkong has personally refined for many years. Although it is a bottle on the outside, it is actually isolated from the outside. Inside, it uses yin energy to nurture all kinds of yin demons, which is like a mysterious yin demon nest.

The Venerable Lingkong and the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes were engaged in a great battle in the outer realms. The Northern Yuan Palace assisted in the battle from the middle, but the Venerable Lingkong was killed, and this Jade Purification Bottle fell into the hands of the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes.

Before heading north, the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes took out the Jade Purification Bottle, intending to entrust it to Su Che. However, Su Che refused. His reason was quite righteous: the Jade Purification Bottle was used by a traitor like Venerable Lingkong, and as the sect leader, he should demonstrate the legitimacy of the sect and could not use such a traitor's artifact.

Why not give it to Jin Yunu as a reward for this senior sister who has come to her senses?

The Demon Lord in hemp clothing naturally agreed, and the jade bottle thus fell into Jin Yunu's hands.

"May I ask, senior, are you the Yang Demon Lord who destroyed the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect and went straight into the Hungry Ghost Path?"

On the other side, Princess Ning'an and her group of three were both relaxed and solemn.

What was easy was that Yang marrow descended from the sky, and with a casual display of skill, he took the lives of his two adversaries.

What makes them so serious is that their opponent is, after all, a powerful figure in the demonic path. If he or she were to turn against them, they fear...

"You lot are wandering around in these mountains, are you perhaps thieves?"

Jin Yunu turned her head and looked at the three of them with a cold smile.

The nun felt a pang of worry.

This Longevity Sect is so domineering, treating these 100,000 mountains as their private property, it's truly...

"This junior is Lingzhen Daoist of Yuyang Mountain. Senior Sister Xue of our sect once met you and praised your swordsmanship, believing that you have grasped the mysteries of the Dao of Creation."

The Taoist nun smiled and said, "These two are both nobles from the Southern Dynasty, and this is Miss Xiao..."

By revealing Xue Baizhi's identity and establishing the name of Yuyang Mountain, the Daoist nun Lingzhen cautiously dealt with the demon, but unexpectedly, a mishap occurred.

"I am Princess Ning'an of the Great Liang Dynasty. The current emperor is my elder brother. This Mr. Xie Luzhen is from the lineage of the East Sea Sword Palace."

Princess Ning'an revealed her identity directly.

Xie Luzhen, who was standing to the side, also clasped his hands in a salute.

"My master is Yue Wuyong, the Shadow Sword Master of the East Sea Sword Palace."

Su Che glanced at Xie Luzhen.

"But it was Mr. Yue, the one whose light reversed and whose divine sword cast its shadow."

"It's the master."

"In that case, you can be called a fellow Daoist."

Su Che looked at Xie Luzhen.

I had heard of Yue Wuyong, the Shadow Swordsman, twice. The first time was when I saw the Chang family from Licheng on the Canglang River. This family was heading to the East Sea because a girl in the family had become Yue Wuyong's disciple.

This is Xie Luzhen's second time now.

The light of heaven flows backward, and the shadow of the divine sword falls.

Yue Wuyong was a Void Step Sword Cultivator, and he was considered an anomaly in the East Sea Sword Palace because he was a swordsman of the Creation lineage and was considered the most likely Creation Sword Cultivator to attain immortality on this path in the future.

The phrase "the light of heaven flows backward and the divine sword falls into shadow" refers to his two most prized sword formations, both of which he comprehended from the creation of heaven and earth and are extremely profound.

"I have also studied the art of sword formations."

Su Che smiled slightly, dispelled his supernatural powers, and the three of them gradually regained their freedom.

"What brings you all to these mountains?"
