Bang!

Gu Qi Xing kicked a man who called himself the Northern Sky Hero right off the ring.

"Too weak! Too weak!"

He shook his head, watching the Grandmaster-level expert flee in disgrace, his face red as blood. He sighed with an air of smug superiority.

In truth, he had every right to be confident.

Ever since his battle with the Jiang Family Old Ancestor, he had reflected deeply and trained hard for over a year. Now he had reached the First-Rank Grandmaster realm, and among his peers, he was nearly invincible—except for that one man!

Blood Drinking Blade—Nangong Wu Wang!

The man's sudden emergence had been like a rising sun, stealing all his brilliance until every star paled beside it.

But it doesn't matter... Nangong Wu Wang relies on the Blood Drinking Blade, and his foundation is unstable. He may even have used some secret method that damaged his vitality. His keeping such a low profile this past year, nearly vanishing without a trace, proves it... Give me a few more years, and I'll reach the Celestial Phenomena realm and surpass him!

Gu Qi Xing's mind brimmed with grand ambitions.

More than that, what worried him was the state of the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect.

During the battle at the Heavenly God Palace, Demoness Empress and Ghost Eye Son had survived by sheer luck, but the Heavenly Demonic Path Master had truly fallen, plunging the Demonic Sect into chaos.

They had only recently managed to recover a little, yet now a new female swordswoman had come along and was trampling them mercilessly.

Otherwise, Old Monster Wan Du would never have picked on someone younger than himself, and Gu Qi Xing would not have had to come out and lend his support.

But those external threats were small
