Sword light rose! Killing intent appeared!
From this single sword strike, the killing intent burst forth by Yang Hua was by no means inferior to that of Pan Zhen, who had fought in battles for a millennium.
What was a sword?
It was the gentleman among weapons, yet it also became a symbol of status for scholars and literati, as well as the authority of later monarchs.
Yet fundamentally, it was an instrument of slaughter! A sword blade that took human lives!
The Great Dao of the sword inherently encompassed all things, and its most fundamental dao was slaughter!
Therefore, not only did the battlefield god of slaughter possess towering killing intent, but Yang Hua did so as well.
It was just that he had restrained his killing intent within the sword blade, showing not the slightest bit of it outwardly; now that the moment for it to erupt had arrived, he naturally did not conceal it at all.
A pure intent to kill that rushed against the face, an unstoppable sword strike!
Separated by the protective barrier of the Martial Arts Stage, Pan Zhen and the others could already feel a chill throughout their entire bodies.
Boom!
A bursting sound! The sound of evil spirits being torn apart!
The sound of the void breaking and fracturing inch by inch.
Even more, the terrifying sound of sword qi densely intertwining and shredding everything.
Everything overlapped with one another, transforming into this offensive move that shook the heavens and startled the earth.
Yuan Li was sent flying backwards for over a hundred meters, coughing up several mouthfuls of black blood during the process, and landed directly on the ground below the Martial Arts Stage.
He's injured!
Yuan Li, who had been arrogant a few days ago, was sent flying backwards just like that under Yang Hua's sword strike, sustaining no light injuries.
Right now, it was Yuan Li who had lost!
Tiger Fiend Guardian Yuan Li, one of the Four Guardians of Lieyang Star, possessed formidable strength and was quite a famous existence throughout the entire universe, yet today he had been defeated just like that by a nobody.
"What's going on? What's the situation?"
"I don't know, General Yuan Li should be fine, right?"
"The Guardian God of this Earth Civilization turns out to be so powerful? But our Lieyang majesty cannot be offended, should we send people—"
Muffled conversations rang out. Had they not been wary that Pan Zhen was still on the viewing platform, these Lieyang higher-ups would definitely have slammed the table and stood up, immediately dispatching subordinates to rescue the situation.
"All of you quiet down, what kind of decorum is this, making such a racket! Yuan Li isn't dead yet!" Seeing this scene, Pan Zhen, who had already sensed the situation in the arena, immediately rebuked them.
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, even Yang Hua looked toward the stage below; he clearly sensed that Yuan Li's aura had not disappeared.
"To actually be able to withstand the dual attacks of my Primordial Spirit Sword and Meteor Sword, I must say, the Tiger Fiend Guardian truly lives up to his reputation." Yang Hua chuckled softly.
Right before his eyes, Yuan Li stood up from the ground once more.
"Your strength is indeed very powerful, I have lost!"
Yuan Li's complexion was slightly pale; it was obvious that withstanding that wave of attack just now had not been easy.
"Master won!"
Accompanied by Cang Yun's cheers, a smile appeared at the corners of Yang Hua's mouth. He helplessly shrugged his shoulders and flew toward the spectator area below the stage.
"Uncle Pan Zhen! You lost, and besides, my performance was passable, right?"
Arriving below the Martial Arts Stage, Yang Hua looked at Pan Zhen, who was sitting in his seat, and said with a sense of pride bursting to the seams.
"Hmph! Brother Yang is indeed formidable! Yuan Li did not lose unjustly!"
Knowing full well that Yang Hua's words carried the meaning of mocking him, Pan Zhen could only avoid the topic.
"Hahahaha, thanks for the praise!"
Then Pan Zhen and Yang Hua walked one after the other to Yuan Li's position below the Martial Arts Stage.
They saw that Yuan Li at this moment was in a rather miserable state, looking exceptionally comical.
"Yuan Li!"
"Will you still challenge me in the future?"
Yang Hua walked up to Yuan Li with a full smile on his face, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
Lifting his hand gently, the tip of the Meteor Sword pressed against Yuan Li's neck. The icy-cold blade caused a large patch of goosebumps to suddenly rise on the skin at the neck of this taciturn Lieyang Guardian.
"You—" Seeing Yang Hua humiliate Yuan Li like this from afar, Xuan Kun wished he could rush up and beat him up fiercely.
"A general of a defeated army has no right to speak of bravery. Guardian God of Earth, Yuan Li was discourteous earlier, please forgive me!"
After being silent for a moment, Yuan Li sighed, seemingly finally coming to terms with the fact that he had already lost, and moreover, that he had been defeated by Yang Hua in just a few moves—the Four Guardians of Lieyang Star had actually been defeated by the opponent in a single blow.
"I lost!"
Amidst this silence, Yuan Li's mouth was full of bitterness, and then he spoke to formally admit defeat to Yang Hua.
"Hmph!"
Yang Hua shook his head and turned to leave. Seeing the other party in such a dejected state, going over to taunt them a couple more times felt somewhat petty.
I am the Primordial Ancestral God after all! A fair and upright God of Civilization, how can I do such a cheap thing!
He subsequently put away the Meteor Sword. Amidst the bewildered expressions of Yuan Li and the others, Yang Hua and Cang Yun walked with brisk steps toward their place of residence.
"Master, since the martial arts competition has already ended, can we continue sightseeing now?"
Cang Yun, walking side by side with Yang Hua, asked impatiently.
"What are you rushing for? This Lieyang Star is hot as hell, and you're still in the mood to play?"
"You..."
Looking at the exasperated Cang Yun beside him, Yang Hua spoke out to comfort him once more. "Alright, let's go back and rest for a bit first. As for playing, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
"Alright then!"
Cang Yun instantly wore an unhappy expression all over his face, but he had no choice but to obey Yang Hua's instructions, following Yang Hua back to their residence with extreme reluctance.
"We've arrived. Go rest, you can just call me tomorrow morning!"
Entering the room, Yang Hua turned around and shut Cang Yun out, directly driving him back to his own room.
Sigh! I wonder when the great war between the demons and angels will end. I originally thought about leaving this place and returning to Earth after the martial arts competition, but looking at the current situation, it's probably impossible!
Yang Hua still had self-awareness. Since Demon Queen Morgana could force the Lieyang Civilization to confine themselves within the Tiandao Star System for this past millennium, demons would definitely be guarding outside the Tiandao Star System. If he dared to go out, those demons probably wouldn't treat him as a Lieyang person and show mercy.
Judging by Morgana's personality, in the matter of battling the angels, whoever dared to oppose her, Morgana would dare to beat them to death.
Even Pan Zhen was no exception; Yang Hua even suspected that if Pan Zhen had dared to reject the agreement proposed by Morgana earlier, Morgana would have dared to go straight up and pummel Pan Zhen to death.
Forget it, I might as well listen to Pan Zhen. Anyway, there's nothing much to do upon returning to Earth, so I might as well stay here for a period of time. I can pick a fight with the Four Guardians whenever I have nothing to do—how exhilarating is that!
Shaking his head, Yang Hua put away the thoughts in his heart, and subsequently began his cultivation for the day once more!
Three hundred years of time passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Yang Hua did not leave Lieyang Star even a single step, and every once in a while he only remotely observed the recent development status of the Triangular Civilization and Earth Civilization.
Other than that, it was the bullying routine repeated every year. Ever since Yuan Li admitted defeat last time, the Four Guardians of Lieyang Star had wanted to win back their pride every single day.
And seeing that someone was willing to serve as his sparring partner, Yang Hua naturally voted in favor with both hands. Afterwards, the Four Guardians took turns stepping up, and the result was naturally that each of them was heavily beaten up by Yang Hua.
