Demon-killing Enlightenment

Yang Zhao knocked his head to the ground and said in a sonorous voice, "Please rest assured, Mr. Xu, I, Yang Zhao, will do my best to help the Hu family. Brother Yue and I have been good friends since childhood, and now we are even closer. It is the general trend and the will of the people that the Hu family should take over Yangcheng."

The old man nodded in satisfaction without saying anything else, and his figure disappeared into the shadows again.

After a long time, the surroundings became dead silent again. Yang Zhao raised his head and looked around, and found that Mr. Xu had left for a long time.

Yang Zhao stood up and brushed off the dirt on his body. He stared at the blood sword in his hand and tried hard to hold back his laughter, only daring to laugh slightly.

“Hehe, hehehehe, hahahaha…” A laugh as if covered by a quilt came out of Yang Zhao’s mouth.

"I finally got the blood sword I've been dreaming of. I was so anxious waiting for half a year. Hu Yuecheng didn't lie to me. His Hu family has a foundation that my Yang family can't match." Yang Zhao said to himself as he greedily admired the blood sword.

The blood sword glowed red, and there was no need for fluorite to illuminate it. Mu Yang could see Yang Zhao's hideous and distorted face from a distance.

Then, Yang Zhao looked at Yang Xin's shriveled corpse again. He walked around the corpse and said, "Hmph, you useless piece of shit from Yang Lian's family. The old man actually said that your talent surpasses mine?" As he spoke, Yang Zhao kicked Yang Xin's corpse.

"Bullshit, I am the one with the greatest potential in the Yang family, and I am the future head of the Yang family. Your death today can be considered a contribution to me as the future head of the family. Finally, I will use you to test my sword."

After saying that, Yang Zhao circulated his spiritual energy, and the blood sword suddenly glowed bright red. If it was not outside the city, it would definitely alert the Demon Slayer team and they would come to check it out.

Yang Zhao raised his sword and swung it, a huge sword energy rushed towards Yang Xin's body. Silently, Yang Xin's body turned into dust in an instant, losing the last trace of him in this world.

Mu Yang was crouching in the distance, shocked beyond words. Yang Zhao's sword was definitely more powerful than the Great Perfection of the Awakening Qi Realm. Even the damage inflicted by the initial stage of the Present Qi Realm would not be so high.

What on earth is this blood sword? Its power increase is too terrifying, Mu Yang thought.

Yang Zhao was very satisfied to see the power of the blood sword. He held the blood sword in front of his eyes and examined it carefully.

After a while, when the joy wore off, Yang Zhao thought of Daqiang who had not shown up yet.

He looked in the direction where Mu Yang came out, very confused.

So Yang Zhao walked over with his sword in hand, wanting to see what was going on with Daqiang and why he hadn't killed Mu the fool yet.

When Mu Yang saw Yang Zhao coming, he quickly retreated back to the tunnel, used the Xing character formula, and retreated deep into the tunnel at an extremely fast speed.

Mu Yang had witnessed the power of Yang Zhao's sword and did not want to conflict with him for the time being.

But then he thought again, the bodies of Daqiang and the five men were still in the tunnel. That was important evidence to clear his name, and he couldn't let Yang Zhao find it.

As long as Yang Zhao destroyed the bodies and then falsely accused me of killing my companions, I would have no place to stay in Yangcheng.

Mu Yang slowly stopped and after thinking it over, he decided to scare Yang Zhao away.

After the Lie Zi Jue was recited, two resentful souls appeared in front of Mu Yang.

A thick resentment immediately filled the tunnel.

Mu Yang lowered his aura to the lowest level. Although he knew that the madman Yang Zhao might not be able to sense him, the sword was too evil and he didn't know what secrets it might hide, so he had to be on guard.

Mu Yang asked two ghosts to intercept Yang Zhao, while he hid deep in the tunnel.

By applying the Lie Zi Jue to the extreme, Mu Yang could sense the existence of Soul One more clearly, but he could only feel a little bit of the resentful soul that he had just subdued.

Hunyi and the newly subdued resentful souls were moving quickly in the tunnel.

Not long after, Mu Yang felt Hun Yi's resentment being released and he quickly rushed forward.

Yang Zhao had just obtained the Blood Sword, which gave him unprecedented confidence. Even though he knew there was a vengeful spirit in the tunnel, he still walked in boldly.

Not long after he left, Yang Zhao felt a surge of resentment. Without getting too nervous, Yang Zhao rushed forward with his sword.

Because he knew that after killing Mu Yang, the vengeful spirit in the tunnel would lose its target and become unusually calm, and its strength would be far different from that in its heyday.

With the help of Daqiang behind the resentful soul, it was easy to kill the resentful soul by attacking it from both sides.

And now that he has the blessing of the Blood Sword, even without Daqiang's help, he is confident that he can kill this resentful spirit single-handedly.

However, what Yang Zhao didn't expect was that the one who came was not the peaceful resentful spirit. What was even more terrifying was that the one who came was not just a resentful spirit.

In an instant, the arrogant Yang Zhao lost all his fighting spirit, and his whole body felt like he had fallen into an ice cave in the polar region. He felt a chill in his bones, and his soul was trembling. At this moment, the blood sword glowed, and an evil spirit rushed into Yang Zhao's brain, making him sober up.

Without thinking, Yang Zhao immediately turned around and ran towards the tunnel exit in the north of Yangcheng.

Even if they were at the Great Perfection of Qi Realm, the two vengeful spirits in their prime would have to avoid the sharp edge, let alone Yang Zhao, a human who had just reached the Great Perfection of Qi Realm with the help of a sword.

Yang Zhao ran recklessly, leaving behind his high-spirited and ambitious self. Now he just wanted to survive.

Mu Yang carefully sensed the resentment of Soul One and found that it did not change dramatically. This proved that Yang Zhao had no courage to deal with the two resentful souls and chose to run away the moment he saw the two ghosts.

Mu Yang no longer hid his aura, and stood in the tunnel, looking at the direction Yang Zhao was running. Yang Zhao couldn't die yet. Without evidence, he would become the only survivor of the accident. At that time, all suspicion would fall on him.

Without much delay, Mu Yang returned to Yangcheng from the other end of the tunnel.

He went to find Hu Qian with injuries all over his body, ready to report the situation in the tunnel.

However, Mu Yang looked around but did not find any members of the Demon Slayer Team. Without further hesitation, Mu Yang went straight to the communication tower.

Yang Heng was stationed at the communication tower, and maybe Yang Lian was there too. This way, after reporting, someone would be able to arrive at the scene as soon as possible, and he would naturally become a survivor.

However, when Mu Yang arrived at the communication tower, the scene here surprised him even more.

All Yangcheng masters above the Qi Awakening Realm were in the communication tower. Yang Heng, Yang Lian, Yang Jin, and Yang Zhong all had serious expressions on their faces.

When Yang Lian saw Mu Yang running back with serious injuries, he immediately stepped forward to support him.

"Mu Yang, your team was also attacked? How serious is it? Where are the others?" Yang Lian asked Mu Yang anxiously.

When Mu Yang heard what Yang Lian said, he asked Yang Lian weakly, "Captain Yang, what do you mean? Are there other teams being attacked?"

Yang Lian's expression was gloomy and his words were unclear, as if he couldn't bear to say it.

"Hu Qian's troops were attacked and wiped out." Yang Heng said in a low voice.
