I transmigrated to a chaotic world and became the sole player.

The battle raged fiercely within the Sword Tomb.

Zhao Wuji's swordsmanship was fierce and domineering. When he unleashed the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, the sword energy surged and burned intensely, as if a blazing sun had descended, scorching and distorting the surrounding air. Every strike he made carried the momentum to incinerate everything, its power astonishing.

Yin Wuming's movements were elusive, like a ghost. The jet-black longbow in his hand was no ordinary weapon; the arrows he fired were not only incredibly fast but also shot from unpredictable angles, often from unbelievable directions. Furthermore, they contained a sinister, corrosive power capable of eroding spiritual energy and magical artifacts. He didn't engage Zhao Wuji in a direct confrontation, but instead used his agile movements and unpredictable archery skills to constantly harass and weaken Zhao Wuji, searching for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

"Zhao Wuji, your Blazing Sun Sword Technique is powerful, but it consumes a lot of energy! Let's see how long you can last!" Yin Wuming said with a sinister smile. He swayed and dodged a scorching sword aura, then fired three arrows in quick succession at Zhao Wuji's vital points.

"Hmph! Killing you is enough!" Zhao Wuji's face was cold, his sword stance unchanged, but a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. Yin Wuming's movement and archery skills were indeed troublesome, and the opponent seemed to have studied his swordsmanship quite well, always managing to avoid his killing moves at crucial moments.

On the other side, Lin Jingyu faced off against Hou San.

Hou San was small and thin, yet incredibly fast, as slippery as an eel. He avoided direct confrontation with Lin Jingyu, instead constantly moving around, unleashing a torrent of poisoned darts that blocked Lin Jingyu's movements. These darts were not only fast and cunning, but also contained deadly poison; a slight misstep would result in a fatal hit.

Lin Jingyu wielded a cyan longsword, his swordsmanship agile and graceful, like a spring breeze rustling willows, yet concealing deadly intent. His sword light wove a cyan curtain of light, deflecting all the flying darts. But Hou San's movements were simply too fast; for the time being, he couldn't do anything to his opponent.

"Is this all the Qingyun Sect's disciples are capable of?" Hou Sanguai laughed, his figure blurring into three afterimages as he pounced on Lin Jingyu from different directions.

"A mere trick!" A cold glint flashed in Lin Jingyu's eyes, and the longsword in his hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling blue light!

"Azure Lotus Sword Song - Every Step Brings a Lotus Blossom!"

His figure blurred, and it seemed as if blue lotus flowers bloomed beneath his feet, instantly increasing his speed! The sword light bloomed like lotus petals, instantly enveloping Hou San's three afterimages!

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

As the sword light flashed, Hou San's three afterimages shattered simultaneously! But his true body, at the instant the sword light touched his body, slid backward several feet like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the fatal sword strike, though his sleeve was torn open.

"Such swift movement!" Hou San's expression changed slightly, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected Lin Jingyu to be so fast, and his swordsmanship to be so exquisite.

Meanwhile, the other disciples of the Qingyun Sect were locked in a fierce battle with Lei Ba.

Lei Ba Ren lived up to his name, possessing immense strength. When he swung his giant axe, it was powerful and fierce, each strike capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks! He seemed to be practicing some kind of body-refining technique, making his physical body incredibly strong and his defense astonishing. When the flying swords and spells of the Qingyun Sect disciples struck him, they often only left shallow white marks.

"Hahaha! You little brats from the Qingyun Sect, is that all the strength you have? Not even enough to tickle your grandfather!" Lei Ba laughed wildly, cleaving a Qingyun Sect disciple in two with his axe, sending him flying back and spitting blood. He then swept his axe across the room, forcing two other disciples to retreat in a sorry state.

The battle reached a stalemate. Zhao Wuji and Yin Wuming, Lin Jingyu and Hou San, were both struggling to defeat their opponents. Meanwhile, the other disciples of the Qingyun Sect were in dire straits under Lei Ba's relentless attacks.

Behind the rocks, Lu Zhao silently observed the battle. His gaze lingered more on the crimson "Burning Heaven" sword, and... on Zhao Wuji and Yin Wuming.

"Zhao Wuji is indeed quite strong. His Blazing Sun Sword Technique is unparalleled in its power, but it also consumes a lot of energy. Yin Wuming's movements are unpredictable, and his archery skills are tricky; he's clearly trying to wage a war of attrition." Lu Zhao calmly analyzed in his mind. "Senior Brother Lin Jingyu's Azure Lotus Sword Song is agile and exquisite, giving him the upper hand against Hou San, but defeating him in a short time won't be easy. As for Lei Ba... a Body Refinement cultivator, his physical body is incredibly strong; against ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, he has a huge advantage."

"Wait a little longer." Lu Zhao suppressed the urge to act. Acting now, regardless of which side he helped, would expose himself, and he might not even gain the greatest benefit. The best time was when they were both severely weakened, or... when one of them revealed a fatal flaw.

Time passed, second by second.

The battle between Zhao Wuji and Yin Wuming grew increasingly fierce. Unable to gain the upper hand, Zhao Wuji grew impatient and intensified his swordplay, but this also accelerated the depletion of his spiritual energy. Sweat beaded on his forehead.

Yin Wuming's eyes flashed with cold light as he waited for the moment when Zhao Wuji's spiritual power would wane and he would reveal a weakness.

"Now!" Suddenly, Zhao Wuji's sword slashed into the air, and his figure faltered slightly due to the excessive force.

"A perfect opportunity!" Yin Wuming's eyes flashed with a sharp light; this was the moment he had been waiting for! He suddenly drew back his longbow, and all his spiritual power surged wildly into the arrow! The pitch-black arrow instantly expanded several times its original size, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction!

"Soul-Chasing Arrow - God-Slaying Arrow!"

"call out--!"

A jet-black streak of light, seemingly tearing through space, shot towards Zhao Wuji's brow with terrifying speed! This arrow, imbued with Yin Wuming's life's work, was his strongest killing move! He was confident that even a cultivator in the early Golden Core stage would be severely injured by this arrow!

"Not good!" Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Yin Wuming to have hidden such a terrifying killing move! At this moment, his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated. It was too late to dodge!

"Senior Brother Zhao!" Lin Jingyu, who was in the distance, also changed his expression drastically and wanted to come to the rescue, but Hou San held him back tightly.

At this critical moment—

"Buzz!"

A sudden and unexpected change has occurred!

The "Burning Heaven" sword, which had been silently planted in the ground, suddenly trembled violently! A scorching, violent sword intent erupted from the sword like a volcanic eruption! Crimson flames shot into the sky, illuminating an area of ​​several dozen feet in radius in a fiery red!

"What?!" Yin Wuming's expression changed. The jet-black arrow he shot out was scorched and crackled by the blazing sword intent and flames as it approached the "Burning Heaven" sword, and its speed suddenly dropped!

That brief moment of hesitation gave Zhao Wuji time to react!

"Blazing Sun Protection!" Zhao Wuji roared, and his body erupted with dazzling golden light, forming a thick flame shield!

"boom--!"

The jet-black arrow slammed into the flame shield! With a deafening roar, the flame shield shook violently, countless cracks appeared on its surface, and finally, with a "bang," it exploded! Zhao Wuji groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his body flew backward, but he managed to save his life.

"Damn it!" Yin Wuming was both shocked and furious. He hadn't expected that his success would be ruined by the strange movement of the "Burning Heaven" sword! He glared fiercely at the "Burning Heaven" sword, only to see that after the crimson sword burst into flames, the light on its blade dimmed slightly, as if the previous attack had exhausted its remaining power.

"A perfect opportunity!" Lu Zhao, who had been observing from the shadows, had a glint in his eyes! The moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

At this moment, Zhao Wuji was injured and his breathing was unstable; Yin Wuming's strongest killing move was broken, and his mind was shaken; and the "Burning Heaven" sword seemed to have lost much of its power due to the previous outburst! This was the best opportunity!

"Now's the time!"

Lu Zhao moved swiftly, emerging from behind the rocks like a ghost! His target was not Zhao Wuji, nor Yin Wuming, nor even the "Burning Heaven" sword, but—Lei Ba!

At this moment, Lei Ba was using his axe to cleave back two Qingyun Sect disciples, his back to Lu Zhao's direction, leaving him wide open!

"Nine Dragons Controlling the Qi—The Hidden Dragon Emerges from the Abyss!"

Lu Zhao's body was filled with the primal dragon energy, which surged wildly. His figure transformed into a blurry gray shadow, moving at an extreme speed, appearing behind Lei Ba almost instantly! On his right fist, gray-gold light condensed, with a faint dragon-shaped phantom swirling around it!

"die!"

A punch was thrown out, without any fancy moves, only pure and ultimate power and destruction!

"Who goes there?!" The moment Lu Zhao moved, Lei Ba sensed a deadly danger! He roared and, without thinking, poured all his spiritual power and blood energy into his back. His muscles instantly bulged, and his skin glowed with an earthy yellow light, like a rock!

"Bang—!"

A dull thud rang out! Lu Zhao's fist slammed into Lei Ba's back!

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out! The layer of yellowish-brown light on Lei Ba's body shattered like paper! The savage smile on his face froze instantly, his eyes filled with unbelievable horror! A terrifying, destructive power, like a flood bursting its banks, rushed into his body, frantically destroying his internal organs, meridians, and bones!

"puff--!"

Lei Ba coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. His burly body was thrown forward like a ripped sack, crashing heavily to the ground. He convulsed a few times and then lay still. A deep fist-sized indentation was left in his back, the surrounding bones shattered, and his heart had been smashed into a pulp!

One strike, instant kill!

"What?!"

"Second Brother!"

This sudden turn of events stunned both sides in the battle! Yin Wuming and Hou San's expressions changed drastically in an instant! They hadn't expected that someone would be lurking in the shadows, and that someone would strike with lightning speed, instantly killing Lei Ba, who was known for his defense and strength!

"It's you!" Zhao Wuji was also startled. He recognized Lu Zhao's face, and a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashed in his eyes. He didn't recognize Lu Zhao, but the strength Lu Zhao had displayed in that attack was definitely no less than his own! Moreover, the timing of the attack was far too cunning!

"Such ruthless methods! Such formidable strength!" Lin Jingyu was also shocked, his gaze towards Lu Zhao filled with solemnity. He could sense a dangerous aura emanating from this suddenly appearing, unfamiliar young man.

"Who are you?! Why did you kill my second brother?!" Yin Wuming stared intently at Lu Zhao, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible. He drew back his black longbow once more, locking onto Lu Zhao.

Hou San also swayed and stood side by side with Yin Wuming, staring coldly at Lu Zhao, his poisoned dart ready to be thrown.

"He who kills, shall be killed by man." Lu Zhao slowly withdrew his fist, his expression calm, as if he hadn't just swiftly killed Lei Ba. "You Black Wind Three Fiends have committed countless evils and deserve to die. Today, you shall remain in this Sword Tomb."

"Arrogant!" Yin Wuming laughed in fury. "You dare to boast so arrogantly after just a successful sneak attack! Boy, no matter who you are, today you will die for my second brother!"

"Big brother, why waste words with him! Kill him and avenge second brother!" Hou San shouted shrilly, his figure blurring into afterimages as he unleashed a barrage of poisoned darts at Lu Zhao!

"Well done!" Lu Zhao's eyes turned cold. He didn't move, but simply pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed through the air!

"Annihilation Sword Qi - Slash!"

A streak of gray-gold sword energy, like the scythe of death, silently slashed out! Wherever the sword energy passed, the air seemed to be drained of its life force, becoming deathly still!

"Hiss hiss hiss—!"

The poisoned darts that were shooting in from all directions quickly dimmed and decayed upon encountering the gray-gold sword energy, turning into powder and falling down as if they had met their nemesis!

"What?!" Hou San's expression changed drastically. His throwing darts were made of special materials and coated with a potent poison; even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't dare to take them head-on! How could they be so easily pierced by a single sword aura from the opponent?!

"Third brother, be careful! His sword aura is strange!" Yin Wuming was also startled. He could feel that Lu Zhao's gray-gold sword aura contained a destructive aura that made his heart tremble!

"Attack together! Kill him quickly!" Yin Wuming shouted fiercely, his longbow vibrating as three jet-black arrows shot towards Lu Zhao in a triangular formation! At the same time, he also pounced forward, a jet-black short blade appearing in his hand, aiming for Lu Zhao's throat!

"Well done!" Lu Zhao roared, advancing instead of retreating! He clenched his left fist and punched out, the roar of a dragon echoing, shattering the three black arrows into pieces! He pointed with his right sword finger, and several annihilating sword energies shot towards Yin Wuming and Hou San like serpents!

"Jingle bells!"

The clang of metal clashing was deafening! The three were instantly locked in combat! Lu Zhao, fighting two against one, was not at a disadvantage at all! His Annihilation Dragon Qi was extremely powerful and yang, yet contained the meaning of annihilation, giving it a natural advantage against the sinister and unorthodox techniques of Yin Wuming and Hou San! Moreover, his physical strength, constantly tempered by the True Dragon Essence Blood and the Nine Dragons Qi Control Technique, had already reached a terrifying level. Combined with the Annihilation Dragon Qi, every punch and every sword strike contained terrifying power!

"Bang!"

After a dozen or so rounds, Lu Zhao seized an opening in Hou San's defenses and punched him squarely in the chest! Hou San screamed in agony as his chest caved in, blood gushing from his mouth. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a giant sword stuck in the ground, bending it. His fate was unknown.

"Third brother!" Yin Wuming's eyes widened in fury. He hadn't expected that in such a short time, one of his three brothers would be dead and another seriously injured! He was filled with shock and anger, but even more so with a chill! The young man before him was terrifyingly powerful!

"I'll fight you to the death!" Yin Wuming knew he couldn't escape today. A madness flashed in his eyes. He bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the black longbow in his hand!

"With my blood, I offer my soul! Soul-snatching arrow—death arrow!"

The jet-black longbow instantly turned blood red! A terrifying, heart-palpitating aura emanated from the bow! On the bowstring, a blood arrow, entirely formed from Yin Wuming's essence blood and divine soul power, slowly took shape! This arrow exuded a dense aura of death, as if it could relentlessly pursue and claim lives!

"Die!" Yin Wuming's face was ashen, but his eyes were filled with a mad hatred as he released the bowstring!

"call out--!"

The arrow, piercing the air, flew silently yet with incredible speed, seemingly ignoring the distance of space, appearing instantly before Lu Zhao! The tip of the arrow was aimed directly at Lu Zhao's brow!

"A desperate strike that burns through one's lifeblood and soul?" Lu Zhao's eyes narrowed. He could sense the terror of this blood arrow; the death energy and curse power it contained were enough to threaten his life!

"However, that's all for now."

Lu Zhao took a deep breath, and the annihilating dragon energy within his body surged wildly into his right index finger. His index finger instantly turned a deep gray-gold, as if bearing endless destruction and annihilation.

"Nine Dragons Controlling Qi - Annihilation Finger!"

One point out!

There was no earth-shattering display, no dazzling light. Only a slender, gray-gold finger beam shot from Lu Zhao's fingertip, meeting the terrifying blood arrow head-on.

"puff--!"

Like a red-hot iron plunged into the snow, the terrifying blood arrow, containing Yin Wuming's life's cultivation, essence, and soul power, hissed and then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, rapidly melted and vanished, as if it had never existed!

"No...impossible..." The madness in Yin Wuming's eyes was instantly replaced by boundless fear and despair. His strongest attack, fueled by burning his essence and soul, had actually been broken so easily by his opponent?!

"Under the annihilation, all is emptiness." Lu Zhao withdrew his finger, his expression indifferent. He took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Yin Wuming. Under the other's terrified gaze, he struck Yin Wuming's dantian with a palm.

"Bang!"

Yin Wuming shuddered, the light in his eyes quickly fading. He could feel his dantian being utterly destroyed by a terrifying force. All his cultivation had vanished.

"You..." Yin Wuming opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but only spat out a mouthful of blood, his body went limp and he died.

The Three Black Wind Fiends have all been annihilated!

From Lu Zhao's sudden attack to killing Lei Ba, then Hou San, and finally Yin Wuming, only a few dozen breaths had passed. The situation on the field had undergone a complete transformation.

Zhao Wuji, Lin Jingyu, and the remaining Qingyun Sect disciples stared in disbelief at the scene, momentarily unable to process what was happening.

This suddenly appearing youth possesses terrifying strength? With a mere flick of his wrist, he slaughtered the infamous Black Wind Three Fiends?!

Lu Zhao slowly turned around, his gaze calmly fixed on Zhao Wuji, Lin Jingyu, and the others.

"Now, let's talk about who owns this sword."

His gaze fell on the crimson "Burning Heaven" sword.
