Slaying the Blood Demon with One Sword! Host, This System Kneels Before You!

Ziwei Radiant Light appeared at the edge of the sky, eclipsing the noonday sun and dimming heaven and earth as though dusk had descended.

A murderous chill. Deathly silence.

The Bloodthirsty Leech shuddered all over, its bloated, black body retreating backward.

Its mountain-sized shell trembled wildly!

It would die!

It would truly die!

Having only recently gained intelligence, it could already discern all manner of danger and immediately sensed the terror of this aura.

It wanted to flee Lishui Lake.

But the boundless killing intent sweeping toward it had directly sealed off every possible escape route.

It was as though some kind of tracking beacon had been planted on it.

Boom! Boom!

Right after that.

Terrifying sonic booms came from the southwest, like countless thunderbolts exploding at once.

Overwhelming sword intent swept through the air currents, stirring up violent winds and erupting into a massive, awe-inspiring tornado.

Along the city streets, vehicles parked by the roadside began blaring their alarms, creating a chaotic din like mournful wails.

"Look over there! Something's flying this way!"

The many Star Warriors on Lishui Lake turned their heads and pointed toward the southwest.

Hearing this, Old Li, the Commander, and the others immediately looked in the indicated direction.

Very soon.

Everyone saw it clearly... it was an exquisitely crafted longsword streaking across the city sky. Its hilt was entwined with dragons and phoenixes, draped in radiant light as though it were dragging the vast sky behind it.

In an instant, every tree in its path snapped apart, while waves were driven high into the air!

It skimmed over Lishui Lake, drawing countless streams of water upward in reverse. Terrifying waves exploded on both sides, and even the lakebed became clearly visible.

The terrifying sword intent bearing down on them left every Star Warrior present struggling to breathe.

Even though they knew it was targeting the Bloodthirsty Leech...

Even though they knew it was one of their own...

Even though they knew... this was the very sword intent that had been displayed in Sword Valley that day! These Star Warriors still could not suppress their fear!

It was reverence for the strong.

"A miracle..."

Old Li was deeply shaken by the sight before him. He could not even form a complete sentence, while unparalleled fervor and reverence flashed through his aged eyes.

But he ultimately suppressed his excitement, controlled his body, and landed on the shore, avoiding the range of the sword intent.

At that moment.

The killing intent mixed with sword qi was several times more powerful than the Bloodthirsty Leech's attacks. Anyone who remained nearby could be caught up in it.

Seeing this, the other Star Warriors followed Old Li away from between the Ziwei Divine Sword and the Blood Demon, landing on the shore to withstand the sword qi.

After escaping danger, Li Zixuan stood by the lakeside and looked up at the incoming Ziwei Divine Sword.

Her eyes were filled with little stars of admiration.

"I can finally witness Teacher's attack with my own eyes."

The grandeur of it was hundreds of times more dazzling than she had imagined.

One sword stirred the heavens and tore through the air, all to kill a single worm.

Locked onto by the overwhelming killing intent.

The Bloodthirsty Leech dragged its clumsy body, desperately trying to dive into the lakebed.

A humanlike flash of fear passed through its eyes.

It was as though it were saying... Boss, I'm just a little leech... what have I done to deserve you going this far?!

Squelch!

The Ziwei Divine Sword arrived in an instant and pierced directly into the Blood Demon's head. Shockwaves rippled outward, exploding layer upon layer across its wrinkled hide.

In an instant, every tendon and vein in the Blood Demon's body was severed. All its tiny leech clones were implicated and shattered completely.

The leech's main body cracked apart in moments.

Yet even so.

Its powerful vitality still allowed it a chance to cling to life.

"Still not dead?"

On the rooftop of a distant skyscraper, Qin Yang stood on the top floor, sensing the state of the Blood Demon's body. After calculating the timing, he formed a hand seal and muttered, "Rise."

He began to finish it off.

The divine sword was sentient. As his words fell, the purple light on the Ziwei Divine Sword grew even brighter.

Buzz! The Ziwei embedded in the Bloodthirsty Leech's body let out a sword cry, echoing in harmony with the radiant light filling the sky.

The next moment.

The daylight dimmed into midnight. Countless stars descended, circling around the Blood Demon and forming phantom images of swords that blocked off all eight directions.

Old Li looked up at the majestic sight and murmured:

"A sword array! The senior is forming an array to kill the Bloodthirsty Demon Worm!"

Many years ago, he had been fortunate enough to witness a Grandmaster-level Sword Cultivator form an array.

But that had only consisted of a few short swords, utterly incomparable to the grandeur of the Ziwei Sword Array before him.

At his words.

The other Star Warriors looked at the Ziwei Sword Array, all of them utterly stunned.

They had never seen such a magnificent sight before. Every one of them was frozen in place.

Squelch! Squelch! Within the sword array, the Blood Demon had nowhere to run. It endured the torture of being sliced into a thousand pieces as overwhelming sword qi tore through its shell and reduced its flesh to pulp.

The Ziwei Divine Sword erupted with scorching heat, evaporating even its blood together with the lake water into white smoke. The once-arrogant Blood Demon was slaughtered at will within the sword array like fish on a chopping block.

At the sight of this.

Everyone at the scene erupted into a frenzy of incomparable excitement.

"As expected of the Sword Dao Senior!!"

"One sword! It was actually just one sword! What an immortal technique!"

"This must be the divine sword that emerged in the mountain valley that day! It's so beautiful!"

Li Zixuan silently listened to it all, proudly raising her chin.

Hmph, impressive, right? That's my teacher!

If she had not sworn before Qin Yang when she became his disciple that day, Li Zixuan would probably have revealed her identity by now.

Meanwhile, the Commander of the Star Police Department looked at the scene with countless emotions. "This senior's strength is astounding. He can already be an army all by himself."

"Commander, you've understated it."

Old Li shook his head and looked at the sword array with reverence. "That one sword can hold back an army of a hundred thousand."

This was a magnificent miracle.

In the livestream, countless viewers witnessed the scene and left endless shocked comments.

"So cool! Sword qi spans thirty thousand miles, one flash of sword light chills nineteen provinces!"

"This is insane! It's fucking over already!? Where's the immortal? We hear only his sword, never see the man?!"

"The Blood Demon was so powerful, fighting the Three Innate Realm Experts, yet it couldn't even force the expert to show his face?"

"The big boss has risen! One sword, instant kill. What else is there to say, brothers!"

Meanwhile.

Qin Yang stood on the rooftop, sensing the aura within Lishui Lake. Only after confirming that not a trace of the Bloodthirsty Leech's life force remained did he finally let out a long breath.

Done. It's over! This Blood Demon's original body has finally been completely killed.

Cut the grass by the roots, eliminating all future trouble.

This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful enemy.

He had actually needed one sword to wipe it out completely.

"About time."

Qin Yang stretched lazily, sat beside the rooftop, guided Ziwei back, and called out to the system in his mind.

"System, talk!"

After a while.

The system's terrified voice arrived as expected.

"My heavens, the host actually killed it with one sword."

"This system kneels before you..."

"Stop fucking talking nonsense!" Qin Yang rolled his eyes and cut it off directly.

"Hurry up and hand over my damn reward!"
