I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

This person is completely unpredictable and acts arbitrarily, yet possesses immense power!

"The Xuantian Sect requires its disciples to specialize in the sect's martial arts! How dare you disobey!" Zhang Muhan said angrily.

What are the elders of the Xuantian Sect good for?!

"This is the Xuantian Sect's 'Limitless Sword Technique,' how could it not be a sect martial art!"

Shen Ming said unhappily, "This person is blind and spouting nonsense."

"Limitless Sword Technique"? Never heard of it!

Zhang Muhan gritted his teeth, not caring about anything else.

"Bloodthirsty Berserker Blade!"

With a roar, he unleashed his strongest strike, advancing with the blade, his momentum unstoppable.

The frost-like blade light was about to shatter everything in front of it.

"Sword One - Break!"

Seeing this, Shen Ming's gaze turned icy, and he made a decision.

The Mingxin Sword sensed something, and its sword light contained boundless killing intent.

The sword light ripped through the sky like lightning, carrying an overwhelming momentum as it hurtled forward.

A flicker of fear flashed in Zhang Muhan's crazed eyes, and he regained his senses.

The blade's momentum shattered, and before he could react, the sword light had already arrived.

The Mingxin Sword, a low-grade spiritual sword, easily pierced Zhang Muhan's chest and penetrated his heart.

Shen Ming drew his sword, and blood splattered all over the ground.

This is the first person I've killed since I transmigrated.

Animals of a species do not kill each other; this is an instinct ingrained in their genes for reproduction.

Some people retain this instinct, feeling nauseous and dizzy during the act of killing.

Even seeing a corpse makes me vomit.

This has nothing to do with temperament or courage.

Shen Ming does not belong to the above type of person; on the contrary, he is very calm.

Because he knew this was someone who deserved to die.

Knowing that things were far from over, he turned his gaze to Yin Zheng, who had just started the challenge.

"Senior brother! I'm not with them!" Yin Zheng was so scared he wet himself.

He easily bypassed Shen Ming and felt a little smug.

Seeing Shen Ming's superb swordsmanship now, I am filled with admiration.

So Shen Ming headed towards Hua Yuenü.

Upon seeing Zhang Muhan's tragic death, Hua Yuenü, who was determined to die, showed a hint of panic on her face.

Faced with Shen Ming's approach, she instinctively wanted to run away.

"Where do you want to go?"

Xu Lingyue blocked their way. She was injured, but she showed no fear.

Faced with Shen Ming and Xu Lingyue attacking from both the front and the back, Hua Yuenü knew she was no match for them.

"No, don't kill me."

At that moment, Hua Yuenü realized that she did not want to die.

“Tell me about your accomplices and plans, and I’ll spare your life,” Xu Lingyue said coldly.

Huayue Nu told everything.

Xu Lingyue listened to every word without missing a single one, and then used the Mysterious Heaven Finger to pierce through Hua Yuenu's collarbone.

"You stay here and watch over her; do not wander off."

"Let's go to other checkpoints."

The first part was addressed to Yin Zheng and his disciples, while the second part was addressed to Shen Ming.

Because she was in the sect, Xu Lingyue didn't bring any medicine and just quickly bandaged up the wound to stop the bleeding.

Shen Ming nodded. As a disciple of the Xuan Tian Sect, how could he not take action when foreign enemies invaded?

I never expected that Xu Lingyue, a woman, would have this side to her.

"Senior sister, are you alright?" Shen Ming asked.

"Don't worry, I won't die." Xu Lingyue was somewhat surprised by his concern.

"Senior sister, it seems that the members of the Demonic Sect can counter Xuan Tian martial arts, so it would be a waste of your time to go," Shen Ming said.

"..."

Xu Lingyue wasn't sure if he was mocking her. "I'll cover for you, you take charge of the attack. The people from the Demonic Sect can't see through your 'Limitless Sword Technique'."

When she spoke of swordsmanship, Xu Lingyue emphasized the words.

Father had lied to her after all; he was clearly biased!

She examined Shen Ming's face closely, and perhaps due to preconceived notions, she found that there was indeed a slight resemblance.

The two may be half-siblings.

Thinking of this, Xu Lingyue's hostility subsided considerably; she had always wanted a younger brother.

Shen Ming couldn't take the strange look in his senior sister's eyes.

Thinking about how he had just saved the damsel in distress, he realized that it must have made his senior sister even more unable to extricate herself.

Sigh, there's nothing I can do; I'm just too outstanding.

……

Above Longmen Mountain, the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Thick black smoke billowed across the entire airspace, within which countless blood-red skulls soared.

The man in the black robe merged with the black smoke, his figure flickering erratically. His hood had been removed, revealing a gaunt old face filled with ferocity.

"Fang Lian! You dare to cause trouble in my Xuan Tian Sect! Even your sect leader can't save you today!"

The Grand Elder of Law Enforcement roared angrily.

The Demon Heaven Cult has four laws, six departments, and eight gates.

This person right now is the leader of the Blood Gate, one of the Eight Gates!

A Supreme Realm cultivation level is not enough to allow one to act recklessly within the Xuan Tian Sect.

However, after years of planning, he set up the Crimson Blood Array right under the nose of the Xuantian Sect.

The Xuantian Sect is no less skilled in the field of formations.

"This formation has no key point, and there's no need to break it. The Blood Gate Master intends to perish together with his opponent!"

The elder, who was skilled in formations, immediately saw the trick.

"Hehehe! That's right, as long as even one of you is willing to enter the formation, it will collapse on its own! Who is willing to go to the Yellow Springs with me!" Fang Lian laughed loudly.

"Fang Lian, I don't believe you're not afraid of death. You've painstakingly built this up for so many years, are you really willing to close your eyes here?" the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement said.

"Success doesn't have to be mine; what do we, the members of the Demonic Sect, have to fear death!" Fang Lian shouted.

The Grand Elder of Law Enforcement was both anxious and furious, but he still couldn't bring himself to break the formation with his own body.

If there's really no other way, I might be willing to sacrifice myself.

However, within their own sect, once the Supreme Elders arrive, they will surely be able to easily break the formation.

Because of this consideration, the two sides are deadlocked.

This was also within Fang Lian's calculations.

The more time he buys here, the more Xuan Tian Sect disciples the demonic cult members below can kill.

……

One of the nine passes, Flying Fish Pass.

Xiao Chen, Lin Fan, and Chu Tian were guarding this place when they were attacked by members of the Demonic Sect.

Lin Fan and Chu Tian were in a very sorry state, but Xiao Chen was fine.

"Saving a life is like giving you a second parent; from now on, I will be your godfather."

At his feet lay the corpses of two members of the demonic cult.

Their fatal wounds all bore burn marks.

Lin Fan and Chu Tian didn't want to talk; they had experienced something similar to what Shen Ming had gone through.

The outer disciples who came to challenge the sect suddenly launched an attack.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen's Taiyan Spiritual Vein is a special talent, and when combined with spiritual vein martial arts, the "Breaking Heaven Skill" cannot see through it.

Xiao Chen fought two opponents alone, cooperating with Lin Fan and Chu Tian to kill them.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and five outer disciples rushed over.

"Three senior brothers! Please save us!"

"I don't know what's wrong with Senior Brother Wu and the others. They not only attacked Senior Brother, but they also want to silence us."

"What exactly happened? Where did all the elders go?"

"..."

Xiao Chen was initially wary, but after listening to their chaotic chatter, he immediately became impatient.

"Be careful!!!"

Chu Tian sensed something was wrong and spoke up to warn him.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the five men who had arrived revealed their true colors and joined forces to attack Xiao Chen.

It turned out that they were members of the Demonic Cult who had met through a password, and were Xuan Tian Sect disciples who had already cleared the two checkpoints.
