Slaying

"Hey, just like the Zhao family members said, Kong Ming is actually here!"

"We brothers are lucky too. Today, we can not only kill Kong Ming but also make a fortune."

"Let's finish this quickly, lest the Zhao father and son escape."

Hearing the three men's conversation, Shen Yi's face showed a murderous intent. It seemed another assassination attempt was targeting him.

The three men were assassins sent by Wang Lie. They had tracked him all the way, finally finding the Zhao family, and after some threats and inducements, they learned Shen Yi's whereabouts.

"Listen up, kid. The ones killing you today are the Three Heroes of the Song Family!"

"The Three Heroes of the Song Family?"

Shen Yi had heard of Song Zhe, Song Ze, and Song Bo when he first entered the Qingxuan Sect. All three were at the peak of Qi Refining. They were highly valued by Wang Lie's faction, and there were even rumors that if the three brothers could break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, they would become direct disciples of the Great Elder.

The three brothers all had fierce appearances and exuded the aura of powerhouses, far stronger than Zhao Ye. Shen Yi glanced at them slightly, not daring to be careless.

Song Zhe transformed into a streak of blue light and charged at Shen Yi like a bolt of lightning.

Shen Yi let out a cold snort. The powerful force dormant within his body immediately became restless. A powerful aura erupted from him instantly, and a faint dark glow filled his body. Sharp radiance enveloped him like divine black armor.

Taking a step forward, he swung his right fist, clashing with the more than a dozen intertwined fist shadows thrown by Song Zhe, meeting force with force, and violence with violence.

Around the black fist shadows were streaks of dark light, dancing like dragons. The immense power pulverized the surrounding vegetation, raising dust and sand. Tremendous pressure spread in all directions. Facing the terrifying aftermath emanating from the battlefield, Song Ze and Song Bo had to circulate their spiritual energy to resist with all their might.

Shen Yi's right fist directly blasted into the center of Song Zhe's fist shadows. A world-shattering sound erupted in the area, and powerful spiritual energy exploded on the battlefield.

"An earthquake!"

In Qingxuan Town, all the mortal residents rushed out of their homes, asking each other what was happening.

"Such strong spiritual energy, I wonder who is fighting!"

The cultivators in the city also ascended the city walls, observing from afar. No one dared to approach rashly, fearing they would be affected.

The wind howled, and the gale messed up Shen Yi's long hair, but his body remained as still as a mountain. His entire being seemed to radiate the power of gods and demons, deterring all directions.

The rampaging spiritual energy gradually dissipated, and the strong wind stopped. A huge gully, about ten feet deep, appeared in front of Shen Yi. The ruined temple was already beyond recognition.

"Cough..."

A series of coughs came from the gully. A huge hand gripped the edge of the pit, and Song Zhe, covered in dust, struggled to climb out. He was extremely disheveled, his right hand bruised black. If he hadn't used a special technique at the last moment to redirect the immense force of the punch to his limbs, his right hand would have been completely crippled.

"Second brother, third brother, attack together!"

Song Zhe spat out a mouthful of dark blood, and the three brothers joined forces, charging forward again.

Shen Yi's eyes flashed with brilliance, dark light filled his body, and immense strength erupted from within him. In an instant, killing intent permeated every inch of space, making the Song brothers feel a tremor from their souls.

"Hmph!"

Song Zhe and the other two roared, dispelling the fear in their hearts. Their majestic spiritual energy converged, breaking through Shen Yi's killing intent, and they fiercely collided with him.

The huge impact sound spread in all directions. The cultivators in Qingxuan City clearly saw the brilliant spiritual energy rising from the direction of Qingqiu, charging violently into the sky.

"Form the array!"

The Song brothers were repelled by Shen Yi again. Ignoring their injuries, they instantly changed their positions, surrounding Shen Yi.

Each of the three held a black long saber in their hands, the blade flashing with an eerie glow. Three demonic shadows circled in the area, and waves of majestic spiritual energy surged towards Shen Yi like a furious sea. The debris on the ground floated strangely, bobbing and weaving outside the demonic shadows.

Shen Yi, trapped in the middle, tightly gripped the Coiled Dragon Halberd, nervously watching the circling demonic shadows. The three auras made him somewhat apprehensive.

The cultivators in the distance watched in stunned silence, their bodies chilling. An involuntary shiver ran down their spines.

"That aura… it feels like one touch would scatter one's soul!"

The three demonic shadows circled Shen Yi faster and faster, eventually merging into a single mass of dark light that completely enveloped him. In an instant, they stopped abruptly and then pounced on Shen Yi together, intending to tear him apart.

Shen Yi also released a dark black glow. The dragon patterns on the Coiled Dragon Halberd seemed to come alive, leaping out of the halberd and coiling above his head. At this moment, Shen Yi seemed to be guided by the three demonic shadows, releasing the deathly power of the Coiled Dragon Halberd to its fullest. His eyes were completely black, with no whites visible, like two black holes, devoid of any life, like hell.

At this moment, Shen Yi was like a demon god from hell, exuding an aura of despair and destruction.

"Die!"

The four spoke in unison, their weapons clashing.

The black saber light cut through the moonlight, descending straight down.

The black halberd edge, like divine punishment, swept across the army.

The power of the single strike made heaven and earth lose their color.

Terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations surged through the heavens and earth. An invisible pressure, like angry waves, surged outwards, impacting every cultivator watching from the city walls.

Song Zhe's expression changed. From the moment Shen Yi released that deathly aura, he knew this person could not be judged by ordinary standards.

His three brothers struck down their black sabers with all their might. The vast power made the saber light surge even more. However, after the two forces collided, the black dragon actually swallowed the black saber light. The saber light grew dimmer and dimmer, eventually disappearing into nothingness.

Song Zhe and his two brothers staggered, involuntarily taking a step back. They felt their Blood Essence churning, and their chests ached faintly. Looking down, they saw bloody wounds on their chests. In an instant, the wounds burst open, and blood mixed with shattered internal organs sprayed from their chests, staining the ground before them.

They would never have imagined, even in death, that they would be defeated by a newcomer to the sect.

Shen Yi's body also swayed. His form seemed to become slightly fainter. The dark glow receded, and his body emitted a golden light. This was the Indestructible Scripture operating, healing the injuries within his body.

"It's over!"

"Even from this far away, I felt so excited. Those last two dark beams were truly terrifying."

The cultivators on the city wall were still discussing the earth-shattering battle that had just occurred. This battle was destined to become the top topic in Qingxuan City tomorrow.

On Shen Yi's side, after a brief recovery, he approached the corpses of the three Song brothers. After some thought, he picked up a long saber lying nearby and swung it towards their necks.

With a few leaps, he disappeared into Qingqiu, leaving behind only a scene of devastation and the lingering violent spiritual energy fluctuations in the air.
