Number One Sword Under Heaven

Everyone in the Rosas Family knows that there is a useless person in the Scavenger Gang, who is the legendary figure of yesteryear, the Sword of Justice, Guy Velias.

But right now, this guy is still a notorious gambling addict and good-for-nothing.

Not to mention he had absolutely no fighting spirit, his body was as thin as a bamboo pole; if he were to fall even slightly, he might not be able to get up.

The former "Number One Sword Under Heaven" is just a story to be heard.

As for his old feud with the "Nine-Headed Owl Bandit Group," those below didn't want to gossip about it.

After all, the Moon Beauty Maritise has Prince Harper completely infatuated with her, and who knows, she might become his princess someday.

Therefore, whether Guy lives or dies, no one will care or ask about him.

Few people are interested in torturing a "useless person".

But no one expected that this guy, who looked like he was barely hanging on, would be so ridiculously strong.

Rein the cat was behind the Bronze Door, initially somewhat conflicted.

If those two thousand or so Civilian Scavengers suddenly flooded in, it would be a big problem for him.

There will definitely be some members of the Rosas Family mixed in, which is hard to tell, but we can't let the gargoyles kill all two thousand people.

But if they don't kill them all, those guys outside will get information about the third level of the tomb and will have no more scruples, and will just barge in.

At that point, Rein would have no choice but to slip away with Catherine, and the third level of the tomb would become the private property of the Rosas Family.

His original plan was to see if he could find an opportunity to seize Nareta and completely close the Bronze Door.

Unexpectedly, an accident suddenly occurred.

A guy radiating Golden Sword Qi charged headlong into the crowd.

"Guy is actually that strong?!"

Rein's gaze was suddenly drawn to it.

He was probably one of the few people in the world who knew that Guy was very strong even though he was "crippled".

But I never expected it to be so strong.

Guy's death camp was originally far from the Bronze Door, almost invisible to the naked eye. But suddenly, the dazzling golden battle aura that erupted, like the sun, almost blinded him.

Despite having seen all sorts of top-tier experts, Rein was so shocked by Guy's "Sword Qi Soaring to the Heavens aura soaring to the sky" that he almost bit his tongue. He exclaimed in his heart, "Is this the level of the world's Number One Under Heaven 'Qi Control Sect' among swordsmen?"

Among swordsmen, there are two major schools: the "Sword Control Sect" and the "Qi Control Sect School." Guy's body has been ravaged by poison for many years, but unexpectedly, his fighting spirit has not diminished at all.

And that exaggerated "sword intent"!

Back when Rein was still at the second Second Tier of the Transcendent Realm, he experienced Guy's sword intent of "Evil Cannot Suppress Righteousness." At that time, the difference in their levels was too great, and he couldn't understand it at all.

Now that he has grasped the "momentum" of battle qi at the Third Tier, he thought he could understand it, but unexpectedly, the higher his level, the more unfathomable it seemed.

That guy's battle aura form was actually a "Sword Qi Waterfall" hanging in the void!

The Golden Scale Turbulence, making the waterfall appear to merge with the "Starry Sky Ceiling" overhead from afar, as if Guy had brought down the starlight from the heavens to earth.

Guy suddenly attacked, and the one closest to him Moon Beauty Maritise, felt it most acutely.

The oppressive aura that made it hard for her to breathe far surpassed that of any fifth-level expert she had ever encountered.

The "Lust Sequence" belongs to the Mental Extraordinary, with a weak physical body. When Maritise was locked in by Guy's powerful battle aura, it was as if her body was being pressed down by a mountain, and she could not move at all.

Her shock instantly turned into despair. All hatred and mockery seemed so ridiculous. Only one thought remained in her mind.

That is, despair!

Despair beyond any hope of escape!

Strands of Golden Sword Qi, like flying shuttles, entered her body without hindrance, then shot out again. Light and ethereal, like a dream.

But it was just a fleeting encounter.

The once arrogant and haughty "future princess" froze instantly.

The sparkle in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

Guy ignored her, seemingly never giving this stunning beauty a second thought, and walked straight ahead.

In that fleeting moment, countless tiny blood vessels appeared on Maritise's flawless, snow-white skin, probably numbering in the hundreds.

Then you can hear a series of dense spraying sounds.

"Pfft~"

Blood gushed out like a spring.

In the blink of an eye, this stunningly beautiful body was riddled with wounds, without even a chance to struggle or resist. Her stunned expression remained frozen in place, but in the blink of an eye, blood gushed from countless wounds all over her face, arms, brow, chest, abdomen, hands, and legs, splattering her entire body crimson.

This exquisite body was transformed in the blink of an eye into a pool of crimson blood and gore.

Guy walked towards the bald Yuk, made a claw gesture with one hand, and uttered a soft shout, "Sword, come!"

His words became law, as if an invisible hand were reaching out to grab at the void.

With a clang, the longsword of the accessory knight was drawn from its sheath and held in Guy's right hand.

His aura rose to another level, and in that instant, there was no one else in his eyes.

This is the domineering nature of a peerless swordsman: with a sword in hand, one can cleave mountains, cleave seas, and quell the injustices in one's heart.

Nothing is beyond our reach!

With a sword in hand, I am invincible in the world.

With his sword in hand, this former "Number One Sword Under Heaven" seemed to hold the entire world in his grasp.

In the distance, Rein was shocked and seemed to understand something. "Is this the 'Way of the Sword' beyond sword intent?"

"Damn it!"

As Bald Yuk watched his niece die a gruesome death before his very eyes, a mixture of terror and rage welled up within him.

Guy, who was usually sickly, suddenly became domineering and incomparable. He had no intention of resisting at all, but his body reacted instinctively. The moment the Golden Sword Qi was exposed, he retreated a hundred meters.

The nickname "Sand Eagle" suits him perfectly; he excels at leaping and escaping at high speed.

He was able to escape Guy's pursuit back then because of his ghostly speed.

Seeing Guy's imposing presence before him, he was terrified. This scene was so similar to what had happened years ago.

That killer is back!

That Great Terror of being constantly dominated by death is back!

Back then, their "Nine-Headed Owl Bandit Group" were ambushed and killed by this guy, who single-handedly charged in and out seven times. The tragic deaths of his brothers were still vivid in his mind.

This instilled in him a deep-seated fear whenever he saw a swordsman with a sword during his many years on the run.

Now, that familiar sense of fear has returned.

No, it's even more terrifying than it was back then!

Guy's sword intent filled Yuk with an overwhelming sense of despair.

That Sword Light, if it touches you, you'll die.

Even though Yuk had already chosen to flee immediately after the initial shock, the moment he saw the guy grip the sword hilt, he knew something was wrong and quickly turned around, making a desperate dodge.

Sure enough, as the sword struck down, a golden crescent moon emerged from the blade.

The sword energy was as swift as lightning. The moment Yuk caught sight of the sword energy gathering, he almost simultaneously felt a chill on his waist.

Then, the next second, I heard the sound of clothes tearing.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that the sword energy had already pierced his waist with a wound a finger's width deep.

"Damn it, what kind of sword energy is this! It's so sharp!"

With just one sword strike, Yuk broke through his Bodyguard Battle Qi and injured his physical body, causing Yuk to be so frightened that his soul left his body.

If I hadn't dodged just now, that sword would have cut him in half at the waist and killed him!

Although Yuk is Fourth Tier Transcendent, his combat strength is at the very top of the Fourth Tier. Now, his battle aura armor is incredibly solid, and he is very confident that even if he were to face Guy at his peak, he would be absolutely confident of survival!

But now, he was almost killed by a sword aura from a distance?

After being struck by the sword, Yuk immediately understood and was horrified. "That guy's sword intent is problematic! No, it's beyond the level of mere sword intent."

If Guy back then was like a sharp sword, invincible, at least you could see its edge, and there were ways to avoid it and block it; but now Guy is like an "Invisible Blade," you have no idea where his killing intent is hidden!

"What has this guy been through all these years to comprehend this... what kind of sword intent is this?!"

Yuk was terrified.

He knew very well that in a one-on-one fight, he would surely die within a few rounds.

Then, disregarding his pride, this "Viscount" turned around without hesitation and plunged headlong into the ranks of the noble knights, shouting, "Protect me!"

In fact, the moment Guy's aura erupted, everyone in the entire hall noticed the commotion.

The dazzling Golden Sword Qi, so intense it hurt the eyes, nearly blinded everyone in the dark Underground Palace.

But no one expected that Guy would be so fierce, killing [Moon Beauty] Maritise in a single move, and almost killing the Fourth Tier [Sand Eagle] Yuk with a sword aura from a distance.

One died, and one was injured.

This made everyone realize what was happening.

It turns out that the "useless person" in their eyes was actually incredibly strong.

It's as if I can see the invincible aura of the "Ten Great Legends"!

Prince Harper, seeing his beloved Mary Tess stabbed into a human fountain, cried out in anguish, "Oh, my dear Maritise!!!"

That "Moon Beauty" has put a lot of effort into this prince. Harper's Transcendent abilities, derived from the "Lust Sequence," have given him the ultimate pleasure, captivating his heart and making him completely obedient. Now, even if Maritise were to order him to die, this prince wouldn't hesitate for a second.

But now, with the beauty murdered, Harper felt as if her heart had been ripped out, experiencing the despair of a collapsing world, and instantly went mad.

With bloodshot eyes, he roared at his subordinates, "Kill him! Tear him to pieces!"

Prince Harper, being the highest-ranking person present, gave the order, and the royal guards quickly sprang into action. Before such a high-ranking official, the various knightly legions rapidly assembled, forming a thick shield formation.

At that moment, the battlefield commander also let out a loud shout.

"First Legion, form the 'Koslav Formation' and surround and kill the assassins!"

The legion had specialized battle formation training for top-tier Transcendent, which allowed the knights to move in an orderly manner. Some continued to observe the Civilian Scavengers, while others formed triangular shield formations and charged forward.

Before they could even lift a finger, Guy had already charged over with his sword.

The Golden Sword Qi enveloped him, making the ordinary iron sword in his hand seem like a divine weapon, with its Sword Light radiating several meters outwards.

Guy looked at the hundred-man knight order rushing towards him without fear and charged straight at them.

This shield formation is similar in principle to the one used to deal with the Serpent King; the shields are linked together, distributing the force from one shield to almost everyone in the team. In this way, even against a top-tier opponent, the formation cannot be easily broken.

However, when faced with Guy, a peerless swordsman, the shield formation became completely ineffective.

But he thrust his sword out, precisely piercing the gap in the shield, and then the sword energy shot out in bursts, completely avoiding the front of the shield and directly injuring the knight hiding behind it.

With that single sword strike, a gash was instantly torn open, and Guy stabbed in without any obstruction.

Break through enemy lines with skill!

This group of a hundred people, who were originally able to withstand the impact of Fourth Tier and Fifth-tier Magical Beast, seemed to have turned into paper under Guy's sword, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Seeing that Guy had so easily broken through a "hundred-man group", the high-ranking Rosas Family were all terrified.

The battlefield commander was horrified and shouted repeatedly, "Quickly! Regroup! Form a thousand-man linked battle formation!"

He realized that now it wasn't them looking for trouble, but rather the other side looking for trouble.

That peerless swordsman was targeting Prince Harper and his group of high-ranking members of the Rosas Family!

In a short while, the tightening defensive perimeter had formed the first chain battle involving a thousand people.

The heavily armored knights formed an impenetrable barrier around the perimeter.

The advantage of this large-scale "ironclad formation" is that no matter which direction the soldiers are heavily damaged, there are enough reserves to replace them. This tactic is based on defense and counter-attack, using human lives and equipment to slowly wear down High-tier Extraordinary.

Even if a single life only consumes a little bit of his battle qi, a thousand lives would still consume a thousand points of battle qi!

Only when the target's fighting spirit is exhausted will it be the opportunity for those top experts to make their move!

But no one expected that this tried-and-true "iron barrel formation," which could easily restrain fifth-tier Transcendent, still couldn't stop that peerless swordsman.

Even when faced with this, Guy maintained that calm, almost numb expression.

He raised his hand and pointed, and the golden "Sword Qi Waterfall" behind him shot straight at him like a golden ribbon. In the blink of an eye, a phantom of an eight-armed demon god, tens of meters tall, condensed behind him.

The demon god was solemn and majestic, with large, copper bell-shaped eyes and flames rising from his head, as if he were subduing demons. However, in stark contrast, beneath his feet lay a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood that made anyone who looked at it feel dizzy and nauseous.

"Secret Technique: Eight-Armed Ksitigarbha!"

After Guy transformed into a phantom, his aura surged even higher, and his presence suddenly changed.

What's chilling is that his eyes and hair actually reflected the eerie crimson color of the demon god's phantom behind him.

After this secret technique was used, not only the Rosas Family members, but also the more than two thousand civilian Lie Hunters, and even Rein who was not far away, all felt that terrifying "indiscriminate killing intent".

In that instant, Guy seemed to transform into a long, blood-red sword, its sharpness visible to the naked eye. It was the kind of menacing presence that made you feel, with just a glance, that the blade could slice your soul from afar.

Guy's entire demeanor suddenly changed, transforming him from a harmless, useless gambler into a murderous monster who viewed all living beings as worthless weeds.

Oh no!

That was just one side of his face!

On the other side, it gleams with golden light, presenting a majestic and compassionate image!

That half-seductive, wicked smile and half-solemn, solemn expression appeared simultaneously on Guy's face.

Then, the eight-armed demon swung his sword and slashed. Eight arms and eight swords, with overlapping phantoms, transformed into 108,000 swords, which slashed down at the thousand-man formation.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and severed limbs filled the sky. Heavy armor might be able to block even a single Sword Light from those 108,000 swords, but those cloth armorers Transcendent; touching them meant instant death.

It was like a living hell.

Meanwhile, Rein was completely stunned. "Is this the greatest swordsmanship in the Number One Under Heaven?"

Seeing this sword strike, he finally understood what Guy had told him back in Black Wind Territory: "My swordsmanship was once unmatched in the world. Now, having comprehended the 'Way of the Sword,' I am even more unmatched."

Now, seeing this swordsmanship, he finally understood where the difference lay.

Those exquisite sword moves truly demonstrated that swordsmanship skills had been applied to an impeccable level.

Not a single sword strike was wasted; every swing was aimed precisely at a vital point.

Guy seemed to have locked onto the enemy's location without even looking, and every sword strike and flick would inevitably bring a splash of blood.

What's even more bizarre is that after Guy killed the man, a thick layer of blood mist rose from his Golden Sword Qi. His power didn't diminish after the killing; instead, it grew even stronger.

The more people you kill, the higher your morale becomes, and the sharper your sword strikes become!

It looks extremely eerie, like a real demon, existing purely for killing.

Rein finally understood that this was probably the scene before him when Guy, with his sword, slaughtered tens of thousands of people all by himself.

For a moment, he even thought Guy had gone "mad".

But a closer look at his other half reveals an almost numb calmness, completely devoid of any sense of madness or "possession." In the midst of the chaos, Guy could even easily distinguish and avoid the poor hunters who were being used as shields by the nobles.

Half of the gold of "justice" and half of the blood of "slaughter" intertwine and coexist, conflicting yet mutually restraining each other, achieving a delicate balance.

When Rein saw the strange sight of "Red-Gold Qi rising and falling" on Guy's body, he realized that his understanding was too one-sided.

He thought he understood Guy's sword intent, but it turns out he was still far from it.

"Evil Cannot Suppress Righteousness; good and evil coexist. So this isn't a single sword intent, but rather two sword intents coexisting simultaneously?! How is this possible? Just what level of Transcendent power has Guy comprehended?"
