The blood fiend aura dissipated.
The figures of Old Ancestor Duanmu and the other three slowly emerged atop the mountain range.
"Looks like it was the right choice to have me kill you this time. I never expected a junior like you to have reached such a level of strength."
Old Ancestor Duanmu slowly raised his head. A sinister look appeared on his aged face as he stared intently at Bai Ye.
From that casual strike just now, Old Ancestor Duanmu could already tell that Bai Ye's strength was absolutely not to be underestimated.
At the very least, the three people beside him were no match for this Qingyun junior.
"Let me guess. You're from the Myriad Poisons Sect, aren't you?"
"To enter Qingyun Sect territory without a sound is quite the method. I wonder which traitor let you in?"
Bai Ye looked at Old Ancestor Duanmu and the others, his expression exceptionally calm. He smiled faintly. "Fine. I've barely made a move these past years, so I don't even know how strong I really am."
"Today, I'll use you to test the waters!"
Clang~!
As his words fell, Bai Ye's sword wings swept behind him, and he flashed beside Old Ancestor Duanmu and the others in an instant.
Whoosh!
Immediately afterward, the Demonic Sword in his hand swung fiercely. Extreme blood fiend power transformed into rivers of scarlet blood that swept directly toward Old Ancestor Duanmu and the others.
This blood fiend aura was incomparably wicked and immensely seductive.
In an instant, aside from Old Ancestor Duanmu, the other three seemed to have their minds bewitched by the blood fiend aura, their eyes glowing red.
Not good!
Seeing this, Old Ancestor Duanmu's expression darkened as he fixed his gaze on Bai Ye.
"You are a Qingyun Sect disciple. How can you possess such a supreme treasure of the Demonic Path?!"
Old Ancestor Duanmu's expression was icy, but he soon revealed a cold smile. "Good. Such a treasure is simply wasted in your hands. Only in the hands of Old Ancestor Duanmu will it truly find its rightful owner."
Buzz, buzz, buzz~!
At that moment, the Demonic Sword in Bai Ye's hand grew even more excited. Dark purple light shone from its entire blade, its hum unceasing.
It seemed to hunger desperately for slaughter and blood.
"Demonic Sword, Demonic Sword, since you crave slaughter so much, I'll grant your wish."
Bai Ye looked at the continuously humming Demonic Sword in his hand and smiled faintly before swinging it fiercely.
Buzz, buzz, buzz~!
In the sky, the river of blood reversed, like a scarlet waterfall that directly engulfed the three members of the Myriad Poisons Sect.
"Aaaahhh~~!"
"Aaaahhh~!"
"Aaaahhh~!"
Three agonized wails and screams instantly echoed throughout the mountain range.
When the scarlet power faded, Old Ancestor Duanmu saw that the three Myriad Poisons Sect disciples who had followed him here had turned into dried corpses.
It was as though all the blood and vitality had been drained from their bodies. Their faces were shriveled, and they could not have been more dead.
From the moment Bai Ye attacked to the moment the three died, only a few breaths had passed.
"Junior, you're courting death!!!"
At this sight, Old Ancestor Duanmu's rage soared to the heavens, and terrifying blood fiend aura surged from his body.
A mere young junior had actually slain the three disciples he had brought right before his eyes. How could he not be enraged?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant.
Bai Ye and Old Ancestor Duanmu began fighting across the mountain range.
Blood fiend power radiated from both their bodies, and the wicked aura spreading from them made them look exactly like two great masters of the Demonic Path battling one another.
Rumble~!
After exchanging fifty moves, the two separated in an instant and stared at each other.
"How is this possible?"
"You've cultivated for only five years. How can you possess such strength!"
Old Ancestor Duanmu's eyes showed shock and fury as he looked at Bai Ye in disbelief.
Every move they had exchanged had been a killing move, with neither holding back in the slightest. Yet this Qingyun junior had actually fought him to a draw.
Was this really someone from the younger generation?
He, Old Ancestor Duanmu, had dominated the world for centuries, yet he was no match for a fledgling brat.
Terrifying!
This brat was far too terrifying!
He had to be killed. He had to be killed. Otherwise, once he fully matured, the consequences would be unimaginable...
As he looked at Bai Ye, the killing intent on Old Ancestor Duanmu's face grew increasingly intense, murderous aura spilling outward.
"Gulp, gulp~!"
"Refreshing!"
Standing on the ground, Bai Ye raised the Drunken God Gourd and took a huge swig, his face faintly flushed as he looked toward Old Ancestor Duanmu.
"Truly refreshing!"
"Never before have I unleashed all my power so freely. You're the first person to witness my strength."
"Old Ancestor Duanmu, right? You should feel honored. Next, you'll witness my true power!"
Bai Ye looked at Old Ancestor Duanmu with an utterly unrestrained smile. He swung the Ancient Demon Sword in his hand and pointed it forward as surging power erupted.
"Arrogant!!!"
Old Ancestor Duanmu's face darkened. His aura surged outward as his strength rose to its peak.
"I admit it, I underestimated you, brat. Your strength has probably reached the Shangqing Realm of your Qingyun Sect's Taiji Xuanqing Dao, hasn't it?"
"The only reason you can contend with me is because that demonic artifact has greatly enhanced your strength. Otherwise, how could you possibly be my match?"
At the mention of the demonic artifact, Old Ancestor Duanmu once again stared greedily at the Demonic Sword in Bai Ye's hand.
A mere brat could wield this sword and possess such strength. If he obtained it, would he not become invincible throughout the world?!
Bai Ye paid Old Ancestor Duanmu's words no mind. Instead, his hand moved.
Whoosh!
The Demonic Sword was directly sheathed by Bai Ye.
The next moment, Bai Ye's eyes held a wild smile as he assumed a sword-drawing stance.
Heaven Severing Sword Draw!
Had this move finally found a use?
"Whoosh—!"
The next moment, Bai Ye abruptly drew the Demonic Sword.
Once this sword emerged, all things perished.
Blood fiend sword qi surged forth, filled with endless crimson light. Wherever it passed, space itself let out a violent shriek, as though it had been sliced apart...
"You..."
Old Ancestor Duanmu's eyes trembled. He suddenly discovered that his body had been pierced through by that scarlet light.
"Pfft~~!"
The next moment, his body was severed cleanly at the waist.
"N-No... im-possible!"
Old Ancestor Duanmu's body was cut in half, and his life aura faded away.
Rumble~!
Behind him, towering trees fell one after another.
In an instant, the entire forest was cleared away.
Every tree had a smooth cut, falling directly beneath that single strike. What had once been a small forest was now a flat expanse of land.
Massive trees lay scattered across the ground, which resembled a field of ruins.
Clang~!
Bai Ye calmly sheathed the Demonic Sword. Looking at the now-silent Old Ancestor Duanmu, he said faintly, "Having witnessed this move of mine, your life was not lived in vain!"
Even until his death, Old Ancestor Duanmu had never imagined that he would die so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, his head and body had been separated!
Heaven Severing Sword Draw emphasized speed, precision, and ruthlessness!
When all three became one, it possessed the power to sever the heavens!
