Five Steps, One Blade; Ten Steps, One Slash!

[The Thunder are still using long kicks to initiate attacks.]

[You kicked the lavishly decorated, gilded gate of the Iron Blood Sect flying.]

[The group of Minotaur standing guard at the mountain gate were all sleeping in the shade of a tree; your kick woke them all up.]

[They are all at the Innate Martial Artist Realm, so they can't sense your cultivation level.]

[But seeing that you're Human Race, just like that Know-It-All, I instinctively look down on you.]

["Where did this nobody come from, daring to demolish our Iron Blood Sect's gate! They've got a death wish, haven't they?!"]

["Captain! Why are you wasting your breath on him? A mere Human Race dares to come and provoke us? I'll chop him up and make him some extra food!"]

[A Minotaur clad in black armor, wielding a large axe, swung it down at you.]

[You remained unmoved, and as the axe drew near, you suddenly swung your hand, your palm bones extending like sharp blades, cleaving the axe in two.]

[Before the Minotaur could react, you kicked him, sending him flying from the front gate of the Iron Blood Sect to the back gate, piercing through the entire belly of Lonely Mountain.]

[The gatekeeper looked into the mountainside, at the long tunnel that led to the other side, then looked at you and straightened his back.]

"Good lad! You've got some skills! Then don't blame us for ganging up on you, you guys go!"

The others were taken aback for a moment.

["Team, captain, me, us? And you?"]

[The captain has already run away, leaving behind a message.]

"I'll go and fetch an inner sect expert!"

[You take a step forward, stomp your foot hard, and the <Seven Divine Steps of the Starry Sky> shocks the gatekeeper captain from afar, knocking him to the ground.]

"No need to rush to invite them, you're all doing this one after the other today!"

[With each step you take, you knock down several Minotaur.]

[As you passed by them, the Heavenly Dragon Blade on your back flashed, its blade striking with deadly precision, drawing blood cleanly and swiftly.]

[You start killing from the mountain gate halfway up the mountain.]

[A strike every five steps, a slash every ten steps.]

[As people passed by, trees fell, and blood flowed like rivers.]

[The bull's head rolled down the mountain, leaving behind a trail of mangled corpses.]

[In the small town at the foot of the mountain, some brave souls heard the news and actually came to see what was going on.]

They initially thought you might be exaggerating, and even made a bet.

[When they saw the bull's head rolling around, they were completely shocked.]

"On our Blaze Star, is there really anyone who dares to challenge the Alien Race race like this? This is a direct attack on their heart and soul!"

"How many have they killed? The bull's head has rolled all the way to the foot of the mountain!"

"Quick! Go tell the villagers! We might be witnessing history today! This tyrannical and extortionate Iron Blood Sect might really be finished today!"

More and more people are gathering on the mountain.

However, they only dared to watch from afar, not daring to get too close.

[After all, you are a group of Cultivator they cannot compare to; even the aftershocks of the battle could cost them their lives.]

[As you approach the summit, the many people behind you also slowly ascend to higher positions on this solitary mountain.]

[Looking at the Iron Blood Sect's destroyed sect buildings, the dismantled Mountain Protection Array, and the disciples hacked to pieces.]

They only dared to shout in their hearts how satisfying, cathartic, and exhilarating it was, but dared not utter a sound.

[Over the years, it's not that no one has resisted.]

[Human Race Cultivator were suppressed, generally not strong enough, and outnumbered, so these resistances all failed.]

[Every time Human Race Cultivator failed in their rebellion, not only did the rebelling Cultivator die, but the surrounding civilians were also massacred.]

These people don't know if you will succeed today, or if it will be another failed rebellion.

They can only wait and see.

However, seeing the commotion you've made in your battle, and how you're getting closer and closer to the summit, the people couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

"This is the first time someone has ever managed to reach the top of the mountain!"

"Has anyone counted how many minotaurs there are? The Iron Blood Sect only has about a thousand members in total, and several hundred must be dead by now!"

"Even if we fail this time, the Iron Blood Sect will be severely damaged and its Origin Qi diminished!"

[At this moment, you have arrived at the mountaintop and are standing in the Iron Blood Sect's sect plaza.]

[The Iron Blood Sect's main hall is just ahead.]

[Behind you, the corpses of the Iron Blood Sect members lay scattered on the ground.]

[Ahead of you stands a group of Alien Race Cultivator at the Qi Condensation and Core Formation Realm. With each step you take closer, they retreat a step.]

"Stop! Don't go any further!"

[You scoff.]

"You, a nobody extra, dare to order me around?"

[With a flick of your finger, the <Shattering Star Wave Finger> pierced his head, and Sleep on Contact.]

"Human Race! Don't be so arrogant! You're only at the Core Formation Realm. Once my sect master arrives, you're doomed!"

[Your lips curled into a disdainful smile.]

"Tell him to hurry, I'm in a rush."

[With a slap, the <Burning Cloud Hand> technique turned the speaker into a medium-rare steak.]

[With multiple status stats maxed out, you're now unchallenged in the Iron Blood Sect.]

[These people can kill whomever they want, however they want.]

[The foolish Minotaur know nothing about formations; the formations on the mountain were all outsourced, and they have no idea how to maintain or strengthen them.]

[I only know a rough outline of things like Spirit Treasure, Divine Pattern, Talisman, and Puppetry.]

Their natural advantage is their thick skin and tough flesh; they are a race adept at melee combat.

[fight?]

[Want to engage in hand-to-hand combat?]

[If they use any unusual tricks, they might actually give you a hard time.]

[If it's a matter of physical strength and raw power, then they've really hit a brick wall.]

"Who are you?! What have we Iron Blood Sect done to offend you? Why are you going on such a killing spree? Don't you know we're under the Qiufeng Sect?!"

[You answered this person's question because it was necessary.]

"I am the Sixth Elder of the Firewood Sect! Now do you know what you did to offend me? Furthermore, once I destroy you, the Firewood Sect will naturally become subordinate to the Qiufeng Sect, understand?"

[Qiufeng Sect is a first-tier sect on Blaze Star, second only to the Three Great Sects.]

Under the current system on this planet, the Firewood Sect cannot be completely independent.

Therefore, it remains a vassal state.

[However, Great Sects like Qiufeng Sect have vast territories, so they can't be too strict or involved in local management. At least, they won't do outrageous things like the Iron Blood Sect, which just robs wherever it sees something rich.]

"How arrogant! You think you, a mere fourth-stage Core Formation, can destroy my Iron Blood Sect? I'll devour this entire hall!"

A sharp shout rang out from the sky.

[You see a figure crashing down like a meteorite.]

[The newcomer was also Minotaur Race, tall and strong, with three horns on his head, one of which was shaped like a lightning bolt.]

[This person is none other than Niu Sanjiao, the leader of the Iron Blood Sect.]

[Judging from his appearance, you suspect he might have undergone some kind of mutation, or perhaps he's practiced some kind of Cultivation Method that has altered his body.]
