One Slash to Burst! No Wasted Words

Ice-cold, terrifying words echoed from mid-air, instantly reverberating in all directions, causing everyone to reveal looks of shock and disbelief.

The Sword Sect Master is dead!

How is this possible?

Their Sword Sect Master was ranked sixth on the Heaven Rankings. Who could kill him?

Moreover, with the assistance of Master Yun Kong, who was ranked first on the Heaven Rankings, it was even more impossible for anyone to kill him.

But if he wasn't dead, why would Lu Chen's words sound so assertive?

And why would he dare to break into their Sword Sect alone?

In the high sky, sword lights flickered.

One after another, weapons that originally belonged to Sword Sect disciples and elders were now floating automatically at the young man's feet, as if they had encountered a natural-born king, submitting to him.

Not only that.

Even the sect's treasured sword was wailing and trembling in mid-air.

Level Three Sword Intent suppressed everything.

All the weapons were automatically paying homage.

Lu Chen's gaze was icy as he looked down below, suddenly pausing for a moment before saying, "Considering that some of you have only recently joined the Sword Sect and are unaware of its grudges, I will now give you three breaths to leave the Sword Sect immediately. If you don't leave after three breaths, you will all be buried with the Sword Sect!"

After all, he wasn't some kind of murderous demon.

Sometimes, he would still reason things out appropriately.

A clamor finally erupted from the crowd below.

Everyone looked horrified and quickly retreated.

"Quickly report to the Grand Elder!"

"Someone has come to the Sword Sect to cause trouble!"

"Everyone, don't panic! The Grand Elder is behind us; he will handle everything!"

"Grand Elder, quickly suppress this madman! Don't let him spout nonsense!"

"..."

The Grand Elder remained silent, his face heavy, his gaze fixed on Lu Chen in mid-air, his back covered in fine beads of cold sweat, his heart surging with emotions.

Grandmaster Second Level...

A whole realm higher than himself!

He shouldn't be mistaken, right?

But how is this possible?

"Father, Father..."

The young man beside him looked horrified, calling out several times and shaking the Grand Elder vigorously before finally snapping him out of his daze. "He's really at the Grandmaster realm? How can he fly through the air? And the news he spoke of, that the Sect Master is dead, how is that possible?"

The Grand Elder's throat bobbed with difficulty, but he didn't answer.

In fact, he found it difficult to determine whether Lu Chen had used some kind of secret treasure to achieve flight.

After all, there were many treasures in the world.

Perhaps there was one that could make someone emit an aura comparable to a Grandmaster.

Also, he said the Sect Master was dead?

He dared not believe this news even more.

The Grand Elder inconspicuously crushed a request-for-help token, then his body slowly rose into the air, arriving in mid-air, forcing a smile on his face, and said, "This must be the famous Young Hero Lu, truly a hero emerging at a young age. This old man is from the Sword Sect..."

Clang!

Boom!

The light of the blade flashed, the glow dazzling.

Lu Chen didn't give him a chance to waste any more words. The treasured blade in his hand had already been drawn at the first moment, carrying a world-unmatched, indescribable glow that instantly pressed down.

Seven Styles of Divine Extinction, Fifth Style!

Severing Calamity!

Ten times the power instantly converged on a single point, appearing on the blade's edge, like a peerless divine light that had been cut down from beyond the heavens, instantly illuminating the entire sky.

Everyone was stabbed by the light, covering their eyes and screaming, feeling as if their eyeballs were about to be blinded.

The Grand Elder, at the head of the group, was even more terrified, revealing fear.

At this moment, he finally confirmed that Lu Chen was indeed a Grandmaster Second Level!

No!

This wasn't the Second Level; this power had at least reached the Fourth or Fifth Level!

This strike pushed his spirit, true energy, and Blade Intent to their absolute limits.

The Grand Elder roared madly, recklessly using every technique he had mastered, but these techniques, the moment they were unleashed, proved as fragile as paper windows, utterly useless.

His entire body was instantly and violently engulfed by the terrifying Blade Light!

Puchi!

Blood splattered, the light was terrifying.

The Grand Elder, Yun Wuchang, was sent flying backward for thousands of feet, crashing into the main hall of the sect with a deafening boom. The terrifying force of the impact shattered the entire hall in an instant.

The terrifying Blade Qi slammed into the ground, causing a shocking tremor.

Whirr!

Almost the entire surface of the ground was overturned.

Countless streams of Blade Qi rampaged across the ground, impacting everything. The disciples on the plaza screamed in terror as they were torn apart by the violent Qi, exploding like rotten watermelons.

Pfft pfft pfft pfft!

"Aaaahhhh!"

In the blink of an eye, countless people were crushed to death.

Flesh, shattered bones, and hair flew everywhere.

[You have slain the Grand Elder of the Sword Sect, ending his years of corruption. Merit Points +500!]

[You have slain the son of the Grand Elder of the Sword Sect, reuniting a father and son in the underworld. Merit Points +350!]

[You have slain a Sword Sect disciple. Merit Points +200]

[+180]

[+180]

...

Countless lines of text rapidly appeared.

The power of a single strike was terrifying and unfathomable.

From high above, the ground was marked by a terrifying chasm thousands of feet long and three or four meters deep. Cracks riddled the area around the chasm, and countless streams of Blade Qi still lingered.

The others were trembling with fear.

Even those who hadn't been directly killed by the sudden strike were left weak-kneed and terrified, collapsing to the ground and begging for mercy in terror.

Their cries shook the heavens and the earth.

"Spare me, my lord!"

"Young Hero Lu, please don't kill me! I have nothing to do with the Sword Sect!"

"Spare my life! I'm willing to leave the Sword Sect today..."

"Have mercy!"

"You have no sense of self-preservation. Did you think I was just being polite? Coming over here to chat with me?"

Lu Chen's tone was icy. After cleaving the Grand Elder and his son in two with a single stroke, he sheathed his long saber. His cold gaze swept across the crowd below as he said, "Those who have just joined, leave immediately. As for the rest, none of you will escape!"

"I just joined!"

"Me too!"

"Run!"

Dozens of people immediately began to flee.

A flash of cold light appeared in Lu Chen's eyes, and his saber flashed.

Puchi!

Instantly, ninety percent of those dozens of people were killed on the spot.

Only three people remained, their faces pale with terror, spared by him.

[You have slain thirty-three Sword Sect disciples. Merit Points +7920!]

[You have shown great mercy, sparing three innocent people. Merit Points +350!]

"Did you think I didn't know? Anyone who has practiced the Sword Sect's techniques must die! No one can fool me today!"

Lu Chen's icy words rang out once more.

Those who had just joined the sect certainly hadn't had time to practice the Sword Sect's techniques.

As for the others, all those who had practiced the Sword Sect's techniques possessed a certain aura.

An aura that his Sword Intent could precisely sense!

That was his confidence.

The crowd was even more terrified.

Suddenly, someone screamed, and everyone was desperately trying to escape.

Lu Chen's eyes were icy as he began to slaughter them.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

"Ah, ah, ah..."

"A demon, you're a demon!"

"Sect Leader, save us..."

Screams rang out, and the entire Sword Sect was plunged into misery, enveloped in a storm of blades.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

The warning bell, meant to give early warning, was rung repeatedly, its shrill and mournful sound spreading through the blood-soaked air.

Outside.

'Golden-Eyed Lion' Shen Lian was leading a group from the Pacification Bureau, rushing towards the Sword Sect with everything they had.

He was utterly shocked.

Just recently, he had received news from his master about everything that had happened at the Sky Sword Sect.

He was then ordered to lead experts to investigate and raid the Sword Sect with all possible speed.

However, their speed was nothing compared to Lu Chen's.

Even at full speed, they hadn't even reached the halfway point.

But it was easy to imagine.

With Lu Chen's methods, the Sword Sect could not possibly be unscathed.

Bai Linglong, dressed in a white dress, was filled with terror, scrambling and crawling, her face covered in tears, sobbing as if she were a little girl, desperate to escape.

That demon had come!

The demon who had shattered her Dao heart with a single strike back in Lonely Cloud Town!

Although she had tried to repair her Dao heart with the help of the elders and the Sect Leader, it was all in vain.

Almost every time she held a sword, she would remember her crushing defeat at the hands of Lu Chen.

After Senior Sister Xiao's defeat, her fear of Lu Chen reached its peak.

Now, this demon had come to wipe out the Sword Sect.

As she was crying in terror, a figure flashed, and Lu Chen appeared in front of her, grabbing her hair and lifting her up. He frowned and said, "It's you. You were that white-robed young master from Lonely Cloud Town? You're a woman?"

"Spare me, please spare me..."

The woman's mind broke down, tears streaming down her face, unable to muster any resistance.

She was indeed beautiful, with skin like jade, radiant and translucent.

Like the most perfect creation of the Creator.

No wonder she disguised herself as a man.

Otherwise, she could truly bring chaos to the world!

"Spare you? You brought all of this on yourself. Why are the people of your Sword Sect so fragile? I just defeated you once, and your Dao heart collapsed, and you wanted to kill me? Afterwards, you had your elders and disciples constantly causing me trouble, plotting against me. Is that my fault?"

Lu Chen's eyes were deep as he stared at her and said, "So, why did you challenge me?"

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please spare me..."

Bai Linglong sobbed.

"Too late! You started this, so you must die!"

Pfft!

Sword Intent instantly flooded into her mind, shattering her brain on the spot, causing blood to flow from all seven orifices, killing her instantly. He casually tossed her body away like trash.

Then, he resumed his frenzied slaughter in the crowd.

Blade Intent and Sword Intent howled, pfft pfft, blood splattered, and bodies flew.

The entire Sword Sect was a scene of utter devastation.

From beginning to end, no one could stop Lu Chen in the slightest.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

The deafening sound of the bell continued to echo.

Finally!

When the bell reached the back mountain area, it seemed to trigger a violent reaction.

The area that was originally the forbidden area of the back mountain.

Rumble!

At that moment, a monstrous sword energy suddenly erupted, the sound booming as it soared into the sky, almost tearing the clouds apart.

The terrifying sword energy annihilated everything in all directions, causing the world to change color and all things to collapse.

Two massive, pitch-black iron coffins, like two heavy giant swords, one in front of the other, burst directly out of the forbidden area's cave, shattering the entire cave.

"The sect's alarm bell is ringing loudly, what powerful enemy is attacking!"

"Could it be that the Sect Leader is not in the sect? How dare a powerful thief cause trouble in the Sword Sect?"

A hoarse, cold voice came from the heavy iron coffin.

The speed of both iron coffins was extremely fast.

But just then!

Suddenly!

A bright, dazzling blade light lit up directly in front, with an incredible power and speed, slashing fiercely at the iron coffin rushing in the lead.

Ten times the power converged at one point.

Like the Milky Way cascading down from the heavens.

Almost as soon as the iron coffin rushed to the front yard, before it could even react, it was struck hard by the blade light.

Rumble!

Bang!

The entire iron coffin exploded on the spot, fragments flying, countless sword energies and blade lights shooting in all directions.

A gaunt, mummified figure inside was blasted out of the iron coffin, as if hit by a meteor, and slammed heavily thousands of feet away.

The other black iron coffin, which was following behind, was immediately startled and stopped abruptly in mid-air.
