But would Yuwen Shengxin let them escape?

The answer was obvious.

With a thought from her, her external incarnation slapped out, directly reducing those Iron Sword Sect members who had coughed up blood and tried to flee into nothingness.

A Great Emperor reincarnated into a new life—her reputation was no empty boast.

It was no exaggeration to say that even if all the Iron Sword Sect members attacked together, they would not be enough to withstand a single slap from her.

The reason she had merely displayed her might without unleashing her true strength was simply to have a little more fun. If she wiped them all out in one move, would that not be far too dull?

Besides, these tiny ants had dared show disrespect toward the Young Sect Master. Letting them die without despair would be letting them off far too easily.

"Damn it!"

"If I'd known this would happen, why the hell did I come to the Divine Sword Sect?"

While dodging in utter disarray, Xue Lingyun shot Zhang Xiong a vicious glare. His heart was choked with grievance, and fury surged sky-high in his eyes.

It was all because of this damned idiot, who had egged him on to bring experts to the Divine Sword Sect. Not only had it caused many elders and elite disciples of the sect to perish, but it had also landed him in this life-and-death crisis.

He wanted nothing more than to slap this blind fool to death.

Zhang Xiong clearly sensed the Sect Master's intense killing intent. His face turned ashen with fright, though a deep sense of grievance could not be concealed from his expression.

At the same time, he was utterly dumbfounded and only wanted to say: Sect Master, I'm truly innocent! How the hell was I supposed to know that the Divine Sword Sect had been playing the pig to eat the tiger all along?

Soon after, seeing that there was no escape today, Xue Lingyun had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue resisting.

The remaining Iron Sword Sect elders and elite disciples, helpless as they were, also brought out all their trump cards.

Working together with one heart, they held on until the blue blades of light stopped. Every one of them was battered and exhausted.

But—

What happened next made Xue Lingyun and the others feel their souls leave their bodies.

They suddenly discovered that they could no longer move. No matter how they mobilized the spiritual energy within their Qi Seas, their bodies remained restrained by an invisible, mysterious force.

At the same time, the Golden Giant Sword had already cleaved through the void and descended, its unprecedented sharpness reaching them in an instant.

They could only watch helplessly as their bodies turned into nothingness.

"Ah!!"

"I refuse to accept this!"

"I am a mighty peak Innate Realm expert! My future on the Martial Path is limitless!"

"I can't die..."

Before he could finish, the Golden Giant Sword swept through them like dead leaves before a gale, and everyone turned to nothingness in an instant.

Meanwhile, the sword Ye Xuan had slashed out flew straight into the sky, having accomplished absolutely nothing.

Ye Xuan parted his lips slightly. "..."

Before long, Xuanyuan Qingtian recalled the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, while Yuwen Shengxin put away the ancient mirror. The others withdrew their powerful auras, and peace and tranquility returned to the sky once more.

As for everyone from the Iron Sword Sect, not even a trace of ashes remained, as though the great battle just now had never happened at all.

"Mm, you all performed well today. You can be considered qualified members of the Divine Sword Sect." With his hands behind his back, Lin Feng nodded faintly and swept an approving gaze over Yuwen Shengxin, Xuanyuan Qingtian, Ye Jingyun, and Ye Xuan.

Then, with a flash, he vanished from before their eyes.

Damn?

What was called having an overwhelmingly lofty bearing?

This was it!

As the dignified Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, how could he casually take action just because of a pack of ants?

Would that not lower his status too much?

For ants like these, the sect's elders and Handyman Disciples could reduce them to ash in minutes.

Fellow cultivators, what do you think?

In any case, when Xuanyuan Qingtian, Yuwen Shengxin, and the other two heard the Esteemed Sect Master's praise, satisfaction and excitement appeared on all their faces.

Being acknowledged by the Esteemed Sect Master was an honor for them.

"Elder Xuanyuan, Senior Brothers Ye."

"How about we storm the Iron Sword Sect together and wipe it out completely?"

Yuwen Shengxin suggested.

On the surface, she looked adorably foolish, but in truth, she feared neither heaven nor earth.

Wasn't it just a tiny Iron Sword Sect? One slap would be enough to kill it.

How dare they, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, come and offend their Divine Sword Sect? Did they not know she had gone through untold hardship just to find such a blessed paradise?

What's more, they had committed the heinous offense of showing disrespect to the young sect master?

Without another word, they had to be slaughtered to the last, made an example to warn the rest!

Otherwise, any stray cats and dogs would come knocking every other day. Where would the Divine Sword Sect's dignity be? How could they cultivate in peace?

"Wipe them out!" Ye Jingyun nodded at once, without the slightest hesitation, his expression incomparably resolute.

In Ye Jingyun's heart, anyone who dared show disrespect to Esteemed Sect Master deserved death a thousand times over—there would be no pardon!

"I agree." Xuanyuan Qingtian nodded as well.

Her reasoning was rather strange. In any case, whenever someone spoke rudely to the bad sect master, it made her uncomfortable, and she wished she could cut them down with a single stroke of her sword.

"Junior Sister, I'm afraid my heart is willing, but my strength falls short."

"Earlier, while fleeing the pursuit of Iron Sword Sect Elder Zhang Xiong, I forcibly used the second form of the Nine Heavens Sword Art. The Sword Qi backlash left me somewhat injured, and I need time to recover."

Ye Xuan lowered his head, looking somewhat dejected.

"What kind of second senior brother are you? Your strength is this weak?"

"You can't even defeat a mere Iron Sword Sect elder?"

"Forget it, forget it... This time, your junior sister will lend you a hand. Such a trifling injury—at the wave of my hand, I can restore you to your peak."

Yuwen Shengxin said angrily, disappointed that he had failed to live up to expectations. Then she waved her little hand, and a ray of nine-colored light sank into Ye Xuan's body.

The listless aura around Ye Xuan vanished in an instant. Immediately afterward, his aura visibly climbed step by step, and within moments, he had returned to his peak condition.

That move practically blinded Ye Xuan and Ye Jingyun, while even Xuanyuan Qingtian was slightly stunned.

What spiritual pills and elixirs could possibly compare?

Afterward, the four of them flashed away from the Divine Sword Sect and headed for the Iron Sword Sect.

On the other side.

Divine Sword Sect, Heaven-Defying Peak.

When Lin Feng saw Yuwen Shengxin and the other three leave together to seek revenge on the Iron Sword Sect, he nodded with some satisfaction and muttered, "Looks like the disciples and elders I recruited are truly quite good."

As for whether Yuwen Shengxin would encounter any danger on this trip, Lin Feng was not worried in the slightest.

Setting aside the fact that all four possessed great fortune, with Yuwen Shengxin's strength alone, nine times out of ten, anyone in danger would be someone else.

Three days later.

Yuwen Shengxin and the other three returned to the Divine Sword Sect. Besides the smiles on their faces, they also seemed faintly unsatisfied, as though they had not had their fill.

At the same time, an explosive piece of news crashed down upon all of Yi City like a thunderclap, leaving countless people scorched black on the outside and tender within.

"Holy shit, have you heard? The famed Iron Sword Sect was completely wiped out overnight."

"Tsk tsk, the Iron Sword Sect was a sect with a peak Innate Realm expert holding the fort, yet it was destroyed so easily. Unbelievable!"

"Indeed, it's too shocking. I just wonder what great figure the Iron Sword Sect offended to bring such a calamity of extermination upon itself."

"I heard that several Handyman Disciples from the Divine Sword Sect took the initiative to descend upon the Iron Sword Sect and directly razed it to the ground."

"And one of those Handyman Disciples split the Iron Sword Sect in half with a single sword strike. Another slapped the entire mountain belonging to the Iron Sword Sect straight into the ground, and then..."
