A Close Call

The disciples obeyed the command and instantly split into two groups. One group attacked Lu Wangchuan, while the other wanted to bypass Lu Wangchuan and chase after Chen Qingquan behind him.

Unfortunately, they underestimated Lu Wangchuan's strength.

As everyone charged forward, Lu Wangchuan remained calm. He directly drew the Godslayer Sword from his storage bag and swung it forward.

A silver light flashed, and a ten-zhang-long sword energy erupted, sweeping in a semicircle. Wherever it passed, trees as thick as a waist instantly snapped. The twenty Heavenly Martial Sect experts charging at the front, including eleven Bone Forging Realm, six Source Opening, and three Dantian Realm cultivators, none survived. Their bodies were all severed, and blood spurted wildly.

Boom boom boom...

The sword light swept across the ground, causing bursts of explosive sounds.

This terrifying scene caused the opponents' expressions to change drastically.

"Sword energy externalization, he's a Condensing Truth Realm expert! Retreat quickly!"

The Condensing Truth Realm expert of the Heavenly Martial Sect shouted, simultaneously stomping his right foot and rapidly charging towards Lu Wangchuan.

Only a Condensing Truth Realm cultivator could deal with a Condensing Truth Realm cultivator!

Lu Wangchuan remained calm and composed, not giving the charging Heavenly Martial Sect disciples a chance to escape. He stepped forward, unleashing fifty percent of his Limitless Sword Dao. In an instant, several more sword lights swept through, each one directly cleaving several Heavenly Martial Sect disciples in half, giving them no chance to escape.

"Damn it, stop!"

The Condensing Truth expert's eyes were bloodshot, filled with extreme rage. He unleashed all his power, employing the Heavenly Martial Sect's forbidden-level combat martial skill – Dragon Tiger Divine Fist.

The fist force was incredibly fierce, and its speed was so fast that it even created an electric spark in the air from friction.

Within three zhang of his fist, a fierce gale appeared, shredding the fallen leaves on the ground. That was the protective energy overflowing from his body!

But while he was strong, Lu Wangchuan was even stronger!

Unleashing the Limitless Sword Dao to its extreme, a sword fell directly down. The sword light extended thirty zhang, directly splitting the opponent's fist energy with an invincible posture, even severing his fist, and then cleaving down from his head to his feet.

Boom—!

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the ground was instantly torn open with a gap over two meters wide. The Condensing Truth expert's body was also sent flying by the shockwave, scattering everywhere.

Instant kill of a Condensing Truth expert!

Plop.

Li Deyou in the distance was so scared that he collapsed onto the ground, his mouth wide open, his face full of disbelief as he watched everything.

He couldn't believe that Lu Wangchuan possessed such powerful strength. When ninety-nine percent of the Divine Water Sect's forces were annihilated, he alone managed to change the entire battle situation, completely wiping out the Heavenly Martial Sect experts in just a few breaths.

This was simply like a dream, illusory and unreal.

"This is impossible... This is impossible... How could something like this happen?"

Lu Wangchuan slowly walked up to him and said coldly:

"If I'm not mistaken, the place where the three seniors of the sect went also has an ambush, right? Tell me the location of the ambush."

Li Deyou moved his lips. Lu Wangchuan's calmness at this moment made him even more terrified.

Having thunder in one's chest while appearing calm on the surface, that must be describing someone like him, right?

"If I tell you, can you spare my life?"

"I can spare your dog life, but as punishment, I will sever one of your arms."

Hearing this, Li Deyou seemed to grasp a sliver of hope for survival and quickly pointed in a direction.

"It's less than sixty li from here."

Whoosh—!

The words had just fallen when Lu Wangchuan directly beheaded him with a single sword strike. It was so fast that he didn't even feel the pain. His wide eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"You lied."

Of course, Lu Wangchuan was lying to him. It would be against the natural order not to kill someone like him. Saying that just now was to make it seem like he was really going to let him go. If he had directly said he would spare him, he might not have believed it. Saying he would give him a little punishment increased credibility, and he would obediently speak.

Having done all this, Lu Wangchuan put away his precious sword, looked at the old Peak Lord on the ground who had died with his eyes wide open, and shook his head. After searching the storage bags of the Heavenly Martial Sect members, he quickly left.

It was a pity that the old fellow died, but Lu Wangchuan wouldn't pity him. He had already warned him, but he had taken good intentions for ill will. His death was self-inflicted.

On the other side, more than fifty li away, Lin Qingxue and the other two Peak Lords of the Divine Water Sect were all severely injured, their clothes stained with blood, and their faces exceptionally pale.

The three of them struggled to hold on, their eyes fixed on a burly figure over two meters tall in front of them.

The other party sneered.

"Isn't your Divine Water Sect very arrogant? How did you all end up looking like this?"

Lin Qingxue spat out a mouthful of blood, her face icy cold.

"Yuan Wang, don't be too smug. The seniors of the Divine Water Sect will avenge us. Sooner or later, you will be torn into ten thousand pieces."

"Tch, still quite stubborn. Wait until this Venerable One smashes all your teeth and twists off your tongue later. Let's see if you can still speak so defiantly."

The Peak Lord to Lin Qingxue's left spoke softly:

"Yuan Wang is one of the outstanding individuals of our generation. He ranks among the top in the Heavenly Martial Sect and has already broken through to the mid to late stage of the Condensing Truth Realm. We are only in the early stage of the Condensing Truth Realm, no match for him at all."

"The only option now is for two of us to sacrifice ourselves and fight to the death to stop him. The other person will escape back to the sect and report this matter."

"Two Senior Brothers, are you going to..."

"Our aptitude is much worse than yours. You living will go much further than us. Moreover, we are your Senior Brothers. There's no reason for Senior Brothers to run away and let a girl like Junior Sister fight to the death."

"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Yun..."

Lin Qingxue's heart was bitter, and her eyes felt a little sore.

But at this moment, Yuan Wang's attack struck again.

"Trying to leave? I'm afraid it won't be that easy. All of you stay here."

The three of them felt a terrifying gust of wind rushing towards them. Not daring to be careless, they immediately used their strongest power to resist, simultaneously launching three attacks.

Boom—!

The two sides' True Qi collided, instantly creating a huge explosion. The powerful rebound shockwave sent the three already severely injured individuals flying back.

Before the three could regain their footing, a huge black shadow rushed out from the gust of wind, heading straight for the person on the left flank.

"Senior Brother Li, be careful!"

Lin Qingxue had just cried out when, before the other party could react, Yuan Wang's heavy punch shattered his chest, sending him flying back while spitting blood, like a kite with a broken string.

"Bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

Peak Lord Yun stomped the ground, transforming into a bolt of lightning that shot straight towards Yuan Wang. The long sword in his hand fiercely stabbed at Yuan Wang. His desperate strike grazed Yuan Wang's back, leaving a sword mark, but it also completely enraged him. Yuan Wang roared, turned around, and brought a punch down on Peak Lord Yun's head, directly flattening it.

Boom—!

With another violent explosion, a massive pit three zhang in diameter was blasted into the ground!

The strength of someone in the mid to late Condensing Truth Realm was far, far greater than someone in the early Condensing Truth Realm. This level of crushing power was impossible to erase.

"Senior Brother Yun!"

Within a short period, two senior brothers had fallen one after another, leaving Lin Qingxue heartbroken.

But she didn't have time for excessive grief, because Yuan Wang was already rushing straight towards her.

"No need to be sad, little beauty. I'll send you down to meet them right now!"

Tens of thousands of jin of terrifying force surged towards her. The pressure made it impossible for Lin Qingxue to breathe. She was too tired, and her injuries were too severe. She simply couldn't withstand this attack.

It seemed today would be her death anniversary.

If nothing unexpected happened, those disciples must have also fallen into an ambush, right?

Tonight, the Divine Water Sect had truly suffered heavy losses.

However, just as she was despairing, a strong, powerful hand suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her behind him.

In an instant, Lin Qingxue felt the pressure on her body vanish completely.

"Good, I made it."
