Yun Chaoxian

The Tiger Great King passed away peacefully.

When Chu Liang unleashed his divine ability, he truly believed he was executing the Hundred Swords Art.

However, the moment the Red Name Slayer Sword was unleashed, he felt a trace of abnormality.

It was an emotion that had been suppressed for countless years – anger, loathing, urgency... It was a Sword of Justice that had been sealed away for many years, finally able to once again strike down evil with ecstatic joy.

This was the awakening of the Sword of Justice!

Chii—

With a thought, the Red Name Slayer Sword began to divide, splitting into ten, then a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand...

A power from an unknown source suddenly erupted, like a gentle breeze lending strength, helping one ascend straight to the heavens.

Boom!

A burst of sword energy suddenly exploded in the space, emitting a sonic boom.

Ten thousand swords hovered in the air, boundless and infinite!

Even Chu Liang himself was incredibly shocked by this sight.

Is this the Ten Thousand Swords Art?

Perhaps it's more than that. The average Ten Thousand Swords Art shouldn't have such great power in each sword energy. The Red Name Slayer Sword covered the sky and earth, rushing towards the massive black tiger's body.

Chii chii chii chii chii...

A single sword light flashed, merely cutting a shallow wound. Demonic energy overflowed, but not a drop of blood splattered.

But when there were tens of thousands of such swords, the magnitude was vastly different.

The first round of concentrated fire made the Tiger Great King let out a painful roar! "Awoo awoo—"

The muscular man seized the opportunity to leap back, not forgetting to pick up the Mountain River Suppressing Halberd from the ground. With the halberd in hand, his aura immediately changed, becoming five parts stronger than before!

But he no longer needed to act.

The overwhelming sword light began its second round of cutting.

Chii chii chii chii chii...

The sword light was chaotic, like bees returning to their hive, circling the black tiger's massive body, going in and out, back and forth, like a shimmering halo enveloping it.

Though it sounds complex, it happened in the blink of an eye. The ten thousand swords had already completed countless rounds of concentrated fire, and the Tiger Great King's eyes were shining brightly, a strange light appearing on its body.

"Ah—" It let out a strange roar.

Rumble!

The fate of being pierced by ten thousand swords was a sudden explosion, a sky full of bloody rain! Splash splash splash it fell!

Not even bones remained.

It was shot to pieces.

Only a golden phantom merged into Chu Liang's body.

Immediately after, the Red Name Slayer Sword also flew back in front of him, flashing with a bloodthirsty red glow.

Chu Liang suddenly remembered the previous introduction... This was a Sword of Justice. When facing enemies who had committed many evil deeds and were covered in blood energy, it would gain a powerful strength boost.

That's what it said, but this strength boost... wasn't it a little too powerful?

From the Hundred Swords Art to the Ten Thousand Swords Art, this was at least a hundredfold increase!

He hadn't seen those legendary divine swords, but among the precious swords he had seen in the Mount Shu, none could compare to this one.

It was just too exaggerated.

Even he himself was shocked, let alone others.

The bare-chested muscular man was utterly astonished.

He stood there for a long time before walking over, holding the great halberd upside down, his eyes flickering as he said, "I am Yun Chaoxian from Tiangang Gate. Thank you for your assistance!"

"Mount Shu, Chu Liang," Chu Liang replied.

"So it's a Shu Mountain disciple, I've long admired you," the muscular man cupped his hands and said very politely.

"So it's from Tiangang Gate, no wonder you're so mighty," Chu Liang immediately responded politely.

It was only then that he got a clear look at the muscular man's appearance. Not only was his physique tall and mighty, but his looks were also quite handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, round eyes, and sharp features.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Chu Liang was filled with awe.

Chu Liang was about to exchange pleasantries with him when he suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression changing. "Wait!"

With that, he immediately turned and ran out.

Yun Chaoxian, not understanding, followed with his great halberd.

Chu Liang rushed out of the cave and saw that the mountains outside were empty, without a single trace of a demon.

These little demons cherished their lives the most. Seeing that their Great King was dead, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, afraid of being even a little slow in escaping. He was slightly slow in chasing, and as expected, he couldn't catch a single one.

"Sigh..." Chu Liang then let out an empty sigh. "They ran, they all ran..."

Yun Chaoxian asked curiously, "Brother Chu, why do you care about those little demons? They can't amount to anything. You've already slain this black tiger demon, which is enough to quell the demon infestation in the vicinity."

"I..." Chu Liang paused, then said, "We must eliminate evil completely."

Yun Chaoxian cupped his hands again. "Brother Chu is filled with righteous spirit, I admire you greatly."

Since the little demons had all run away, Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian went down the mountain together, and the two even chatted for a while.

Actually, he had some impression of him before. He had seen a record in the Seven Stars Di Bao that there were four outstanding core disciples in this generation of Tiangang Gate, who cultivated saber, spear, sword, and halberd respectively.

The most famous one was naturally the Tiangang Gate First Disciple, Ren Hongdao.

And Yun Chaoxian turned out to be the one who practiced the halberd.

"Our Tiangang Gate is located in the northwest. This time, when those four Divine Envoys entered the Yu Dynasty territory from the far west, they attracted the attention of our sect."

"The sect ordered our four disciples to each pursue and kill a Divine Envoy."

"Who knew the one I was chasing was extremely cunning..." Speaking of this, Yun Chaoxian was filled with indignation. "He challenged me to a duel, drawing a circle and saying that neither of us would bring weapons into the circle, and whoever stepped out first would lose and be at the mercy of the other."

"I agreed and entered the circle to duel him."

"I only punched him once, and who knew he would use the momentum to fly out of the circle, pick up my Mountain River Suppressing Halberd, and run!"

"I said he lost, and he said as long as I could catch him, he would be at my mercy."

"No martial ethics!"

"..." Chu Liang was silent for a moment.

He recalled what the Divine Envoy had said earlier about meeting a Tiangang Gate disciple.

His skills weren't bad, but his brain wasn't very good.

That was indeed an objective evaluation.

Just based on Yun Chaoxian's cultivation, he was truly formidable.

He could fiercely clash with a Fifth Realm Demon King's true form without falling behind.

Moreover, it's important to know that he had practiced with a halberd since childhood, and all his skills were focused on that great halberd. Yet, when he fought the Tiger Great King, he was bare-handed!

For martial cultivators, weapons are crucial. Without a suitable weapon, he could at most exert sixty percent of his strength, and he was already capable of such divine might.

Holding the Mountain River Suppressing Halberd now, he was probably no weaker than a genius from an ordinary immortal sect.

Purely comparing cultivation, Senior Sister Jiang Yuebai might not be able to steadily defeat him, as they were on different paths. However... if they were to truly duel, Senior Sister Jiang could probably find a hundred ways to win against him.

One could only say that having a good brain is quite important for cultivators.

"Brother Chu, are you interested in going with me to pursue that fellow?" Yun Chaoxian said, suddenly extending an invitation.

"Hmm?" Chu Liang was surprised. "Why is Brother Yun asking me to go with you?"

"That demon race Divine Envoy is treacherous and cunning, specifically plotting to harm our human race. Everyone has the right to kill him. With my strength alone, I may not be able to deal with him." Yun Chaoxian looked at Chu Liang with admiration. "And Brother Chu, your cultivation is outstanding, truly a prodigy. If I can get your help, we will definitely be able to kill this villain!"

"My cultivation is outstanding..." Chu Liang hesitated.

"Yes! I've never admired anyone since I was a child, but seeing your divine abilities today, I am truly impressed!" Yun Chaoxian nodded heavily, his eyes shining with admiration. "Actually, looking at Brother Chu's aura, it seems ordinary, as if you are unremarkable. If I hadn't personally seen you use the Ten Thousand Swords Art, I would never have imagined you were so powerful!"

Yes.

Chu Liang smiled.

Don't even mention you... I didn't even imagine I was this powerful.
