Willfully Degenerate, Slaying Wang Kui

"You've got some eye." Wang Kui sneered. "Unfortunately, today you're destined not to survive this death tribulation!"

From the other two men, thin wisps of Xiantian True Qi also spread out at once. In terms of cultivation, they were actually almost no different from Wang Kui!

Lu Yang pressed his lips together slightly, his tone carrying a hint of mockery. "Since when did the Zhang Family and the Li Family become lackeys of the Demon Race? I didn't expect that of Black Mountain County's four great families, not a single one would be clean!"

Of Black Mountain County's four great families—the Zhang, Wang, Lu, and Li—three had already come.

The remaining Lu Family was the family behind County Lieutenant Lu Jue.

Although they had not come this time, Lu Jue's actions clearly already represented the Lu Family's stance.

For the vast Black Mountain County to have been infiltrated this deeply by the Demon Race was truly enough to make one's heart tremble.

"What lackeys? Don't make it sound so ugly." Li Yuan, the head of the Li Family, smiled faintly. "We're merely benefiting each other. A mud-legged wretch like you will never understand the logic within."

"He's a man with death at his door. Why waste words on him? Attack!" Zhang Hanguang, the head of the Zhang Family, took the long whip from his waist. With a flick of his wrist, the whip was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, shooting straight toward Lu Yang's eyes.

At the same time, Wang and Li did not underestimate him. Instead, one on the left and one on the right, each holding a long saber, they pressed in from the sides.

Lu Yang silently mobilized his Primordial True Qi. His long saber swept and rolled as he executed the Demon Subduing Saber Art, continuously blocking.

Bang, bang!

Clang, clang, clang!

Blades clashed, sparks flying in all directions.

The long whip was like a venomous snake, slipping through every opening, constantly harassing Lu Yang in an attempt to force him to reveal a flaw.

But unexpectedly, Lu Yang's saber technique was seamless and unified, as if sealed and shut. With each steady, solid move, his defense was actually airtight.

The more the three fought, the more alarmed they became.

"At such a young age, he can actually cultivate a High-grade Yellow Tier saber technique to the Perfection realm! This boy absolutely cannot be allowed to live!" Wang Kui hardened his heart. The Xiantian True Qi in his body circulated madly, and his saber technique became several degrees more fierce.

Seeing this, Zhang and Li no longer held anything back either, their moves becoming increasingly vicious.

Yet Lu Yang was like a small boat floating amid raging waves. He seemed to sway in wind and rain, as if he might fall at any moment, but he could always follow the momentum, guide it along, and turn danger into safety.

They tangled for dozens of rounds, yet both sides still failed to determine victory or defeat.

As time passed, Lu Yang's use of the Demon Subduing Saber Art grew ever more effortless.

Under the three men's airtight offensive, he could even occasionally slip through the cracks and find chances to counterattack once or twice.

Wang Kui, who had originally thought victory was assured, now had his brows tightly furrowed. He only felt that the young man before him was unexpectedly troublesome.

Seeing that the battle had fallen into a stalemate and that they were at their wits' end, Lu Yang suddenly gave a soft laugh. Yet that laugh was filled with coldness. "Thank you for helping me practice my saber!"

Through the continuous exchanges, under the heavy pressure jointly applied by three Xiantian Realm martial artists, Lu Yang's saber technique grew increasingly polished.

Finally, at a certain moment, a flash of inspiration appeared in Lu Yang's mind.

Beneath that flash of inspiration, he seemed to glimpse a trace of the bearing above Perfection in the Demon Subduing Saber Art.

Ding! Detected that the host has gained a trace of insight into the Perfection-level Demon Subduing Saber Art. Spend 500 experience points to improve the Demon Subduing Saber Art?

"Improve it."

In his mind, red light spread outward.

At the same time, the system's power infinitely magnified that flash of inspiration Lu Yang had just comprehended. One exquisite saber move after another transformed into light and shadow, continuously cycling through his mind.

Almost in an instant, Lu Yang's comprehension of the Demon Subduing Saber Art climbed to the Great Perfection realm!

In the next instant, Lu Yang's saber edge trembled. Wang Kui and the other two only felt their arms go numb before an enormous force forcibly drove all three of them back.

Around Lu Yang, Xiantian True Qi condensed without dispersing. Holding his saber with both hands before his chest, he was like a wrathful Vajra, striking terror into the soul.

"Evil Breaking Righteousness Manifesting!"

With one slash, the space within several dozen zhang was enveloped by fierce, unyielding Saber Qi.

Where the blade edge passed, jagged rocks shattered and dust billowed.

Bang, bang, bang!

Boom, boom!

Wang Kui's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, "Attack together! Block him!"

The three frantically squeezed the Xiantian True Qi inside their bodies, trying to use their strongest moves to block Lu Yang.

Crack, crack!

Ding, ding, ding!

Unfortunately, after only a brief exchange, the weapons in the three men's hands shattered one after another.

In an instant, the violent Saber Qi severely wounded the three of them. It also slaughtered those family martial artists who tried to stop Lu Yang until corpses lay strewn everywhere, leaving them utterly routed!

"This is... You forced me!"

Defeating his enemies in a single move, Lu Yang was just about to keep attacking and finish off these scum of the human race when he saw Wang Kui—who should have been heavily injured and stripped of Combat Power—actually sway to his feet from the ground!

At some point, a small pitch-black bottle had appeared in his hand.

The instant he opened the stopper, a thick stench of blood and foulness spread out along with a heavy demonic aura.

Before Lu Yang could tell what it was, Wang Kui had already tipped his head back and drained the liquid in the bottle in one gulp.

"Gulp!"

In the next instant, Wang Kui's body began to swell in a strange and rapid fashion!

The skin all over his body turned an eerie purple. Beneath the surface, blue veins bulged, and long brown-gray hair grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye!

His eyes then turned a demonic dark green.

His head of pitch-black long hair also gradually turned ashen gray.

Sharp claws grew from both his hands, and two keen fangs jutted from his mouth!

"Rrrroar!"

Wang Kui let out a low roar, and dense demonic aura rushed straight into his face!

Right under Lu Yang's nose, he had actually transformed into a Wolf Demon!

"Demonization?"

Lu Yang's expression chilled. "So this is why you willingly became dogs for the Demon Race?!"

"Instead of staying proper humans, you insisted on becoming monsters!"

After demonizing, however, Wang Kui could not be bothered to listen to Lu Yang's clamor at all.

The current him had nearly doubled in strength, and the power of his aura was comparable to the third level of Xiantian!

His speed was several times faster than before, and more!

"Roar!"

After a howl, Wang Kui moved his feet and turned into a gray shadow, leaping back and forth between the houses, constantly changing position as he closed in rapidly on Lu Yang.

The broken long saber had long since been thrown aside by him. His pair of sharp claws danced out layer upon layer of afterimages.

A dark-green light shimmered over those claws; clearly, they were coated with deadly poison.

"Die!"

"Die!"

"Die!"

After demonizing, Wang Kui seemed to have sunk into madness, relying on the beastly instincts of his nature as he attacked without pause.

Clang, clang, clang!

Lu Yang kept swinging his saber, meeting speed with speed, not falling into the slightest disadvantage.

With the reinforcement of the Demon Subduing Saber Art, that fierce demonic aura could not get anywhere near him.

After clashing for over a hundred moves, Lu Yang had already gained an understanding of Wang Kui's condition.

"Let's end this!"

Xiantian True Qi circulated over his right arm, and a barbaric bull totem faintly lit up, slowly emerging.

Mighty Bull Mountain Shaking Power erupted in an instant!

Primordial True Qi flowed, and a blazing, dazzling radiance instantly burst from the long saber.

"Boom, boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

The earth split apart, and Shatter Stone billowed everywhere.

The demonic aura coiling around Wang Kui was cleaved apart by a single slash. His sharp claws shattered inch by inch, and a bloody line began at the center of his brow and ran all the way down. Like a wooden stake split open by an axe, the flesh and blood all over his body collapsed with a crash.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for slaying one third-rank, third-level Wolf Demon. Obtained 3000 Experience Points.
