Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

The news of Xiong Ba's defeat and the disbandment of the World Society spread throughout the martial arts world, causing quite a stir.

Everyone had heard about this earth-shattering battle, a scene even more terrifying than when the Sword Saint challenged Xiong Ba, but few knew the specifics of what happened.

The surviving members of the World Society are filled with terror whenever they recall this battle, and they remain tight-lipped about the details.

At most, it would be just one sentence: Heavenly Might!

Before long, people stopped paying attention to this matter, because exciting things were happening in the martial arts world every day.

What people talk about most is the reappearance of the reclusive swordsman, Wuming, who had been living in seclusion for many years.

With the help of Yue Zhuoqun, Bu Jingyun left Baijian Mountain with the peerless sword, but many people in the martial arts world who coveted the sword ambushed and attacked him along the way.

Influenced by the peerless sword, Bu Jingyun's killing intent grew stronger day by day. Most of those who tried to seize the sword died under his blade, and the martial world was filled with bloodshed.

Nameless, who cared deeply about the stability of the martial arts world, could no longer sit still and took the peerless sword from Bu Jingyun's hands.

However, Bu Jingyun was resolute and relentlessly pursued the matter.

Helpless, Wuming made a deal with the monk Dukong of Miyin Temple as a witness.

As long as Bu Jingyun can withstand one of his sword strikes, he will let him take the peerless sword without any further interference.

After acquiring the Holy Spirit Sword Technique and the Qilin Arm, and inspired by Yue Zhuo's Twenty-Three Swords, Bu Jingyun's martial arts skills improved rapidly in a short period of time.

However, Wuming, being a legend in the martial arts world, could not withstand even a single attack from him when he was at full strength.

The Ruthless Way of the Supreme Sword Technique, using intent to control the sword, instantly transforms into countless sword energies that knock the longsword out of Bu Jingyun's hand, forcing him into defeat.

Remembering his deep-seated hatred and longing for Kong Ci, Bu Jingyun risked his life to force Wuming to withdraw his sword and save him, thus winning back the peerless sword.

Bu Jingyun regained his sword, but before he could rejoice, a man carrying a sword rushed into Miyin Temple, slaughtered all the monks, and framed him for the crime.

This man is Po Jun, who returned to the Central Plains from Japan.

He was ordered by the master of the Wujue Divine Palace, Jue Wushen, to eliminate several top masters in the Central Plains martial arts world. The three at the top of the list were Wuming, Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun.

After framing Bu Jingyun, she used the Heart-Saving Seal to control Jian Chen, defiled Chu Chu, and poisoned the nameless tea.

Po Jun and Wu Ming were disciples of the same sect, the Sword Sect. They failed in their struggle for the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One and fled to Japan, where they became followers of Jue Wushen.

To counter Nameless's swordsmanship, he created the Imprisoning Sword Technique and learned the Killing Wolf Technique from Jue Wushen. Finally, he defeated the poisoned Nameless in the sect's ruins.

Although Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun rushed to their rescue, Jue Xin and Jue Tian also led hundreds of Gui Cha Luo to attack.

Despite unleashing the Annihilation Demon Blade, Nie Feng was still injured by Po Jun.

Bu Jingyun fought against Gui Chaluo and Juexin, but fell off a cliff.

In the end, Nameless was captured and imprisoned in the Palace of No God, and even the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One Sword Manual fell into the hands of No God.

……

Several months have passed since the Tianxia Society was destroyed.

In the Bajian Mountain, Zhong Mei successfully forged the first Qilin armor and Qilin sword.

Yue Zhuoqun donned the dark red armor, activated his power, and immediately a scorching force emanated from the armor plates, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

These armor plates are not all complete Qilin scales, but are made by fusing scales with special materials.

Not only does it possess intense heat, but it is also extremely hard, making it difficult to break through with swords and blades.

He picked up the black and red patterned Qilin sword and casually slashed it.

Rumble!

The fiery sword energy roared, cleaving the earth into a deep trench tens of meters long.

This sword is even more powerful than Duan Lang's Fire Kirin Sword.

“Good, continue building it according to this standard.”

He nodded to Zhong Mei with satisfaction, "As expected of a top-notch swordsmith, his skills are beyond reproach."

Wearing the Qilin Armor and wielding the Qilin Sword, the combined power of the two can increase a person's strength by more than tenfold.

Even a second-rate expert can easily defeat a first-rate expert.

"Okay." Zhong Mei nodded and left happily.

The forging of this peerless sword took a century and was the result of the combined efforts of three generations of swordsmiths.

He had crafted this sword and armor himself, and his pride was palpable.

Just as Zhong Mei left, a servant came to report: "Sir, a seriously injured man with a knife has arrived outside the manor, saying he wants to see you."

Chapter 228 Nie Feng Seeks Martial Arts

When Yue Zhuoqun met Nie Feng, he was not only seriously injured, but also shrouded in a thick killing intent, on the verge of losing control and becoming a demon.

Clearly, they had just gone through a fierce battle and unleashed the full power of the Annihilation Demon Blade.

Yue Zhuoqun took out a Blood Bodhi and fed it to Nie Feng. With the help of the medicine, his mental state improved a lot, and he sat cross-legged on the spot to heal his injuries.

More than an hour later, he opened his eyes again. His injuries had mostly healed, and he had even completely suppressed the thought of falling into demonic possession.

"It seems that you have nurtured your Dao Embryo to be strong enough during this period of time. Even when you unleash the Annihilation Demon Blade at full power, you can still retain a trace of rationality."

"But I still couldn't defeat the enemy and rescue the nameless senior." Nie Feng smiled bitterly and recounted the battle with Po Jun.

On that day, he was no match for Po Jun and was pursued by Jue Xin. Fortunately, he was saved by a masked woman in yellow, which allowed him to escape.

"As a successor of the Sword Sect and Wuming's senior brother, Pojun is already a top expert in the martial arts world. You are still young, so it's not shameful for you to lose to him."

"Given his background, why have we never heard of his deeds in the martial arts world all these years?" Nie Feng frowned and looked at Yue Zhuoqun: "Senior seems to know a lot about this person."

Yue Zhuoqun smiled slightly and explained, "It's normal that you haven't heard of him. His rampage in the Central Plains martial arts world was twenty years ago."

The Sword Sect has an extremely long history. It was once the number one sect in the world and continued to exist until the generation of Po Jun and Wu Ming before it completely disappeared.

Jian Hui was the last sect leader, as well as Po Jun's father and Wu Ming's master.

Back then, Wuming wanted to obtain the supreme sword technique of the Sword Sect, so he asked Jianhui for the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin Sword Manual. Jianhui favored his son Pojun and demanded that the two of them fight in front of masters from various sects, with the winner taking the manual.

In order to ensure Po Jun's victory, Jian Hui even taught him a secret sword move called "Ten Thousand Swords Paying Homage to the Emperor," but Wu Ming still came out on top.

Po Jun had committed numerous evil deeds since childhood, including killing his senior brother who witnessed his misdeeds.

In order to avenge his senior brother, Wuming went all out in that battle, trying to kill Pojun with his sword.

To save Po Jun's life, Jian Hui threw out the jade pendant that Wuming had given as a gift to his apprentice, forcing Wuming to stop his attack.

Fearing that this shameful matter would be leaked by the experts from various sects who were watching the ceremony, he used the "Returning Heaven Ice Technique" to freeze everyone present except for Po Jun and Wu Ming.

"After that battle, Po Jun always wanted to defeat Wuming to vent his anger, so he went to Japan to seek refuge with Jue Wushen and gave his beloved woman to Jue Wushen in exchange for the domineering martial art 'Sha Po Lang'."

Nie Feng's eyes were full of contempt as he said angrily, "I never expected that this person's martial arts skills were so unfathomable, yet his character was so despicable. In order to seek revenge, he actually betrayed his country and betrayed his country, bringing Japanese influence into the Central Plains!"

"More than that."

A fleeting smile crossed Yue Zhuoqun's lips as he uttered a bombshell to Nie Feng: "The woman who gave the gift to Jue Wushen was your mother, Yan Ying. He is the culprit who seduced your mother and drove your father mad."

"What!??"

Nie Feng exclaimed in surprise, staring wide-eyed at Yue Zhuoqun, wondering if he had misheard.

No matter how gentle his personality was, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He clenched his fists repeatedly, his face alternating between black and red.

To be honest, it wasn't Po Jun who actively sent Yan Ying away, but rather Yan Ying who, driven by vanity, willingly threw herself into Jue Wushen's arms.

She was just afraid that revealing the truth would be an even bigger blow to Nie Feng, since no son could accept that his mother was such a person.

It took Nie Feng a long while to process the shock of the news.

He stood up with a stern face, then knelt down in front of Yue Zhuoqun with a thud, performing the disciple's kowtow: "Please teach me an even stronger sword technique, senior. I am going to kill Po Jun and rid the martial world of this scourge."

For the first time, Nie Feng, who was always kind and generous to others, felt such a strong killing intent towards a person.

Yue Zhuoqun waved his sleeve, helped Nie Feng up, thought for a moment and said, "I know a lot of martial arts, but not many are suitable for you, can make rapid progress in a short time and unleash infinite power. However, I know someone whose swordsmanship is very suitable and can be of great help to you."

Nie Feng asked in confusion, "May I ask what kind of martial art it is?"

"The Demon Blade of the First Evil Emperor".

There are only three types of martial arts suitable for Nie Feng: the first type is one that combines the power of wind with his Wind God Leg; the second type is a sword technique that can be performed with the Snow Drinking Saber; and the third type is one whose power is enhanced by his Mad Blood.

The strongest martial art that can draw upon the power of wind is the Wind God's Wrath from the Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique. However, this martial art requires mental cultivation and is not easy to master in a short time.

The sword techniques used with the Snow Drinking Blade are the Nine Forms of Heavenly Blade and the Unique Blade Technique from the Ten Strong Martial Arts. These two sword techniques have extremely high ideals and require some time to master.

The most suitable martial arts technique for Nie Feng, which was enhanced by his mad blood, was the Annihilation Blade Technique. The remaining evil techniques were not a good match for him.

On the contrary, the First Evil Emperor's demonic blade is very suitable, not only for the sword technique, but also for the enhancement of the power of the berserk blood.

Moreover, this sword technique is even more sinister than the Annihilation Demon Blade.

The Annihilation Demon Blade can corrupt a person, but not completely. Influenced by their own rationality, they gradually succumb to demonic possession during actual combat.

Nie Feng fell completely into the demonic path on his first attempt at cultivation, all because of the demonic seed planted by Yue Zhuoqun.

The Demon Blade is different; one must first become possessed by demonic energy before wielding it, making it far more thorough than the Annihilation Demon Blade.

In the past, he wouldn't have really wanted Nie Feng to practice this martial art.

But now that the Dao embryo within Nie Feng's body is strong enough, even if he completely succumbs to the demonic path, it will be much easier for him to awaken his reason.
