The disciples took their orders, instantly splitting into two groups. One faction lunged toward Lu Wangchuan, while the other tried to bypass him to chase Chen Qingquan in the rear.
Unfortunately, they miscalculated Lu Wangchuan's strength.
As the crowd surged forward together, Lu Wangchuan remained calm and composed. He drew the Godslayer Sword straight from his storage bag and slashed forward.
With a flash of silver light, a ten-zhang-long wave of Sword Qi erupted, sweeping across a semicircle. Wherever it passed, trees as thick as a waist snapped instantly. The twenty Heavenly Martial Sect experts charging at the very front—including eleven Bone Forging realm cultivators, six Open Source practitioners, and three Dantian Realm masters—did not survive a single one. Their bodies all broke apart, blood spraying wildly.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sword glare swept across the ground, triggering a succession of explosive blasts.
This terrifying scene caused the enemy's expressions to shift drastically.
"Sword Qi externalization! He's a Condensing Truth Realm master! Fall back quickly!"
A Condensing Truth expert from the Heavenly Martial Sect shouted at the top of his lungs. At the same time, he stomped his right foot onto the ground, his body hurtling toward Lu Wangchuan at lightning speed.
Only a Condensing Truth expert could deal with a Condensing Truth expert!
Lu Wangchuan remained calm and collected. Giving the charging Heavenly Martial Sect disciples no chance to escape, he stepped forward and unleashed fifty percent of the Limitless Sword Dao. In an instant, several more slashes of sword light swept out. Every single flash of sword light directly cleaved several Heavenly Martial Sect disciples in half, leaving them zero opportunity to flee.
"Bastard, stop right there!"
The Condensing Truth expert's eyes were bloodshot and filled to the brim with fury. Unleashing his full power, he executed a forbidden-tier combat martial art of the Heavenly Martial Sect—the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist.
That fist force was exceptionally fierce and brutal, its speed so fast that it even frictioned against the air to produce electrical sparks.
Within three zhang of his fist, a fierce, raging gale materialized, shredding the fallen leaves on the ground. That was his vital qi overflowing from his body!
Yet strong as he was, Lu Wangchuan was even stronger!
Pushing the Limitless Sword Dao to its absolute limit, he brought his sword down from overhead. The sword light stretched for thirty zhang, directly cleaving through the enemy's fist qi with invincible might. It cut through the fist along the way, and then cleaved straight down from the top of the head to the soles of the feet.
Boom—!
Accompanied by a violent explosion, the earth was torn open on the spot with a gap over two meters wide. The body of the Condensing Truth expert was blasted away by the shockwave, scattering in pieces across the ground.
A Condensing Truth expert, killed in a split second!
Plop.
In the distance, Li Deyou was so frightened that he collapsed straight onto the ground. His mouth hung open as he stared at all of this in utter disbelief.
He could not believe that Lu Wangchuan possessed such formidable strength. When ninety-nine percent of the Divine Water Sect's forces had met their doom, relying solely on himself, he had actually turned the entire tide of battle and wiped out the Heavenly Martial Sect experts in the span of just a few breaths.
This felt simply like a dream—illusory and unreal.
"This is impossible. How could something like this possibly happen?"
Lu Wangchuan walked slowly to his side and said in a cold voice:
"If I guessed correctly, the place the three sect seniors went to also has an ambush, right? Tell me the location of the ambush."
Li Deyou twitched his lips. The composure Lu Wangchuan displayed at this moment only made him even more terrified.
One who has thunderous roars contained in their chest while maintaining the smooth surface of a lake—that must be the kind of person he was, right?
"If I tell you, can you spare my life?"
"I can spare your dog's life, but as punishment, I'll sever one of your arms."
Hearing this, Li Deyou seemed to have grasped at a sliver of hope for survival and hurriedly pointed in a certain direction.
"It's less than sixty miles away from this place."
Swoosh—!
Just as his voice fell, Lu Wangchuan decapitated him with a single sword strike, moving with such speed that the man did not even feel any pain. Those wide eyes were filled with bewilderment and confusion.
"You lied."
Of course Lu Wangchuan was lying to him; trash like this deserved to die by heavenly law. Saying those words just now was merely to make it look like he truly intended to let him go. If he had simply said he would spare him, the man probably wouldn't have believed it. By claiming he would inflict a minor punishment to increase credibility, the fool would obediently speak up.
Having finished all this, Lu Wangchuan put away his precious sword and looked at the old Peak Master lying on the ground with his eyes wide open in death. He shook his head, looted the Storage Bags off the bodies of the Heavenly Martial Sect members, and quickly departed.
It was a pity this old bastard had died, but Lu Wangchuan wouldn't pity him. He had warned him long ago, yet the man had treated good intentions like a donkey's lung; dying was entirely his own fault.
On the other side, more than fifty miles away, Lin Qingxue and the other two Divine Water Sect peak masters had all sustained heavy injuries. Blood stained their clothes, and their complexions were exceptionally pale.
The three of them fought bitterly to hold their ground, their gazes locked fixedly on a bulky figure over two meters tall standing ahead.
The opponent chuckled with disdain.
"Weren't you people of the Divine Water Sect quite arrogant? How did you all end up looking like this pathetic bunch of birds?"
Lin Qingxue spat out a mouthful of blood, her expression ice-cold.
"Yuan Wang, don't get too full of yourself. The seniors of the Divine Water Sect will avenge us. Sooner or later, there will come a day when you are hacked into ten thousand pieces."
"Hah, your mouth sure is stiff. When this lord smashes all your teeth to pieces later and twists off your tongue, let's see if you can still talk with such backbone."
The peak master on Lin Qingxue's left spoke in a low voice:
"Yuan Wang is a standout among our generation, ranking at the very top within the Heavenly Martial Sect. He has long since broken through to the middle-to-late Condensing Truth realm, whereas the three of us are only at the early Condensing Truth stage. We are simply no match for him."
"The only plan now is for two of us to sacrifice ourselves and fight to the death to hold him back, while the other escapes back to the sect to report this matter."
"Two Senior Brothers, could you possibly mean..."
"Our natural talent is far inferior to yours; you will go much further alive than we will. Besides, we are your senior brothers—there is no reason for senior brothers to run away and leave a young girl like our junior sister to fight for her life."
"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Yun—"
Lin Qingxue felt a bitter ache in her heart, her eye sockets stinging slightly.
Yet right at that moment, Yuan Wang's attack struck once again.
"Want to run? I'm afraid it won't be that easy. All of you, stay right here."
The three of them felt a terrifying gust of vital qi rush toward their faces. Daring not to be careless, they immediately unleashed their strongest power to resist while simultaneously launching three attacks.
Boom—!
Their vital qi collided with each other, instantly generating a massive explosion. The powerful rebound shockwave caused the three of them, already severely injured, to be blasted backward.
Before the three could steady their footing, a massive dark shadow had already lunged out from the gale of vital qi, making a direct beeline for the person on the left flank.
"Senior Brother Li, watch out!"
Before Lin Qingxue could even finish her shout and before the man had time to react, Yuan Wang shattered his chest with a heavy punch. The man spewed blood as he was sent flying backward like a broken kite.
"Bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"
Peak Lord Yun stomped his foot against the ground, transforming into a streak of lightning as he lunged straight at Yuan Wang. The long sword in his hand thrust fiercely toward Yuan Wang, a desperate strike that scraped a sword scar across his back. But it also completely enraged him. Yuan Wang let out an angry roar, whipped his head around, and brought a fist smashing down from overhead, directly flattening the man's head.
Boom—!
Another violent explosion rang out, blasting a huge crater three meters in diameter into the earth!
The strength of the middle-to-late Condensing Truth realm was far, far too formidable compared to the early stage; suppression by realm was something that could not be erased.
"Senior Brother Yun!"
In a short span of time, two senior brothers had fallen in succession. Lin Qingxue was consumed by grief.
Yet she had no time to grieve for long, because Yuan Wang was already hurtling straight toward her face.
"No need to be sad, little beauty. I'll send you down right now to join them!"
Terrifying force weighing tens of thousands of catties bore down upon her, the pressure rendering Lin Qingxue unable to breathe. She was too exhausted, and her injuries were far too severe; she simply could not withstand this blow.
It seemed today would be her death anniversary.
Without any accidents, those disciples had probably fallen into an ambush too, right?
Tonight, the Divine Water Sect had truly suffered heavy losses.
However, just as she fell into despair, a strong, powerful hand suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her behind him.
In a split second, Lin Qingxue felt the pressure weighing upon her vanish completely.
"Good thing I made it in time."
