Slaying Lu Yuan, Uninvited Guests

Lu Yuan finished speaking.

He struck again.

Life-Seizer Sword-Ray spread out.

Chen Ning stood calmly, the Star-Picking Finger being an epic-level reward and one of his strongest Divine Abilities to date.

And there is an equally powerful epic reward.

Chen Ning has never used it.

Even when facing the King Li.

It was not used.

He defeated King Li solely with his Sword Intent.

At this moment, Chen Ning felt it was time to use this sword technique.

"The All Things Sword Instruction, Form One: One Becomes All Things!"

A soft shout.

The Moon-Slaying Sword was raised.

A burst of Sword Qi was unleashed.

When it hurtled towards Lu Yuan, it transformed into ten thousand Sword Qi.

Ten thousand Sword Qi swept across the sky and covered everything.

Moment.

A chilling atmosphere hung over the world.

Each Sword Qi was terrifying in its power.

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted in shock, and he quickly unleashed his Death Sword Intent to counter it.

The Sword-Ray flashed.

It collided with ten thousand Sword Qi.

Boom!

In an instant.

Sword Qi surged forth in a frenzy.

It was frantically destroying everything inside the hall.

However, Lu Yuan did indeed enter the realm of Venerable Martial, although he was only One-Star Martial Venerable.

However, the improvement in cultivation level is a qualitative change.

Even though Chen Ning's sword strike was exceptionally skillful.

This put him at a disadvantage.

But he still showed no sign of defeat.

Instead, he frantically unleashed his Death Sword Intent.

"Sect Leader Chen, thank you for killing those people, which helped my Death Sword Intent reach new heights!"

Lu Yuan smiled sinisterly.

Then.

All that could be seen were the four mangled corpses that had been lying on the ground, which began to continuously provide power to the black longsword in Lu Yuan's hand.

"Sword of Death! Ten Deaths, No Life!"

Lu Yuan roared.

The Death Sword Intent poured out wildly.

Within the Sword Intent, it seemed as if countless horrified souls were reaching out their claws, desperately trying to drag Chen Ning's body down to hell.

Chen Ning, however, showed no fear.

With a flick of his wrist, he Moon-Slaying Sword.

Moonlight gathers.

"All Things Sword Instruction, Form Two: The Sword Becomes All Things!"

The Moon-Slaying Sword unleashed a beam of sword light.

The sword light instantly tore through the darkness.

The shadow of the Death Sword Intent continued to shrink.

Those horrifying and gruesome images seemed to have been burned away by the raging fire.

Purified by holy light.

They were delivered through Law Artifact.

Damn it!

Lu Yuan was shocked and hastily retreated to avoid the attack.

But at this moment, he felt as if he had stepped into a cage, unable to escape.

The invisible cage is also a manifestation of the All Things Sword Instruction.

"The Martial Venerable realm is nothing more than this."

Chen Ning gave a soft hum, and then the Moon-Slaying Sword shimmered with light, its Exquisite Sword Heart throbbing.

A sword strike was unleashed.

Simple and unpretentious.

It pierced through Lu Yuan's defenses in an instant.

"Ahhh!!"

Lu Yuan roared in pain, feeling his very soul tremble.

Although he is a Martial Venerable and extremely powerful, the Moon-Slaying Sword is a divine Divine Artifact.

But it's at a higher level.

Destroying his physical body would be effortless.

"Spare me... Sect Leader Chen... please spare me..."

Lu Yuan immediately realized the situation and knelt down to beg for mercy.

It is not easy for ordinary people to cultivate to the level of Martial Venerable.

Those advancements require immense talent, immense perseverance, and immense fortuitous opportunity.

However, some people, fortuitous opportunity has not yet arrived, remain at the Half-Step Martial Venerable for their entire lives.

Lu Yuan had finally managed to advance to the level of One-Star Martial Venerable.

He didn't want to die like this.

The Moon-Slaying Sword had already broken through Lu Yuan's protective True Essence.

At this moment, Lu Yuan was already seriously injured.

Chen Ning looked down at him, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Sect Leader Chen, you are young and promising, but your foundation is unstable. I believe you must be facing some constraints from the behemoth that is the Dragon Dragon-Seeking Sect. I am willing to offer you my entire Ghost Sword Sect as tribute, to serve as your power, just please spare my life..."

Lu Yuan knelt down and kowtowed, weeping bitterly.

That's it?

Chen Ning pursed his lips, indicating that what he gave was not enough.

"Ah... and Qin Ling's Blood Owl Sect and Mo Lin's Demon Snake Valley, I have ways to make them your forces. From now on, you will be my master, and I will obey your every word and be your most obedient pawn."

"Don't underestimate these two forces. The people of the Demon Snake Valley are skilled in survival techniques, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. They will definitely become your greatest asset."

"And the Blood Owl Sect, whose disciples are all ruthless and vicious. You can send us to do things that you can't do personally."

Seeing that things were turning around, Lu Yuan immediately began to promote himself with all his might.

Desiring to persuade the other party.

"Good!"

Chen Ning nodded and put away the Moon-Slaying Sword.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan was overjoyed, finally seeing a glimmer of hope.

Just as he was preparing to circulate his Essence Power to heal his injuries.

To his astonishment, he discovered that his chest was suddenly bleeding profusely.

Life is slipping away rapidly.

"You... you... didn't you promise...?"

Lu Yuan stared at Chen Ning's figure in disbelief.

Chen Ning shrugged apologetically and said, "Sorry, I was just teasing you this time..."

However, he received no response.

Lu Yuan thus perished.

"Call..."

Chen Ning breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Changtian.

The latter's breathing gradually stabilized and calmed down.

I wonder if he has already completed the inheritance.

The main hall was in complete disarray after the battle.

But then...

Flashes of light appeared one after another, and several figures suddenly appeared.

This time, the number of people is quite large.

There were at least a dozen people.

Chen Ning recognized some of them.

They were all leaders or top experts of various sects in Spirit Province.

Among these people are several Three-Star Martial Venerables.

They were led by an elderly man in a green robe.

This person is Daoist Qingshan, a Four-Star Martial Venerable.

He glanced at the nearly destroyed hall, his brows furrowing slightly, before looking at Li Changtian, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

And standing to the side was the leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

In addition, there were five corpses on the ground.

The more I looked, the more horrified I became.

"Sect Leader Chen, was this Sword Saint's Cave Abode opened by you and the Sword Immortal?"

"Exactly."

Chen Ning glanced around, pondering to himself.

If these people are also vying for the inheritance like Lu Yuan, they might find it quite difficult.

Chen Ning couldn't help but look at Li Changtian.

Brother Sword Immortal... if you don't wake up soon, I can't defeat these guys.

Chen Ning figured his only option was to flee far away.

"Sect Leader Chen, please do not misunderstand. I have always admired the Dragon-Seeking Sect and Flying Cloud Valley, especially the Sword Immortal. I came here to seek some fortuitous opportunities after hearing that the Sword Saint's Cave Abode had opened..."

The Daoist Qingshan stroked his beard and spoke, appearing to have no ill intentions.

"The Sword Saint's legacy has already been obtained by Brother Sword Immortal, that's the situation..."

Chen Ning quietly placed the broken sword of the Heaven-Slaying Sword into his spatial bag, while subtly shifting the blame.

Upon hearing this, the group of Daoist Qingshan showed signs of disappointment.

But at this moment, the Venerable Xu of the Void Heaven Palace's eyes flickered.

He whispered to the Daoist Qingshan, "The Sword Saint's inheritance is an immense fortuitous opportunity, and now that the Sword Immortal cannot be distracted, why don't we..."

At this point, he made a gesture resembling a swift, decisive cut.

Just as the Venerable Xu was having some inappropriate thoughts...

Not far away, Li Changtian, his breathing now full and clear, opened his eyes.
