A Single Sword Slays, Scorching Heat Burns the World

Li Chunfeng had clearly exhausted his strength and collapsed.

Yet he still laughed maniacally.

Above the heavens, the Great Sun Divine Sword shed its pitch-black base and revealed boundless brilliance.

"Void-Distance Sword Control!"

The Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect, Meng Zhongwu, and the five Gold Wood Water Fire Earth Five Elements Venerables.

They struggled to open their eyes.

They looked at the Great Sun Divine Sword floating in the void.

An inexplicable sense of dread rose in their hearts.

These seven Heavenly Human Realm martial artists of Qianqiu Pavilion.

Before coming here, they had already heard that Li Chunfeng possessed the terrifying technique of Void-Distance Sword Control.

Thus, they had remained wary all along.

Yet Li Chunfeng had never used Void-Distance Sword Control before this.

This had left the seven of them deeply puzzled.

It was at this moment.

Before Bai Su and Yao Luochen could open their eyes, they only felt a fierce wind at their necks. Then, Bai Su and Yao Luochen fell unconscious.

Since he had chosen to act discreetly.

Ren Xiaoyao naturally could not allow anyone other than Li Chunfeng.

To learn of his true combat strength.

Thus, Ren Xiaoyao could only knock Bai Su and Yao Luochen unconscious first.

And at this moment.

The Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect, Meng Zhongwu, and the Gold Wood Water Fire Earth Five Elements Venerables also discovered Ren Xiaoyao's presence.

At once.

Everyone frowned and looked at Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao's appearance was too strange.

He had appeared before them without anyone noticing.

"Who are you?"

Meng Zhongwu stared at Ren Xiaoyao.

For some reason.

He vaguely sensed a threat from Ren Xiaoyao.

Strange!

There were clearly no Energy Fluctuations whatsoever around Ren Xiaoyao.

Why did he feel this way?

Ren Xiaoyao did not waste words.

With a light beckoning gesture, the incomparably brilliant Great Sun Divine Sword fell into his hand.

"Ren Xiaoyao of the Imperial Observatory."

Ren Xiaoyao's expression was calm.

Since he had shown himself before these seven Heavenly Human Realm martial artists.

He had no intention of leaving any of them alive.

Seeing the Great Sun Divine Sword shine brilliantly in Ren Xiaoyao's hand, then recalling how dim it had been in Li Chunfeng's hand, they immediately understood something.

"You are the true master of this divine sword. Li Chunfeng was merely your cover!"

The hearts of Qianqiu Pavilion's seven Heavenly Human Realm martial artists skipped a beat.

They had uncovered a terrifying truth. This Ren Xiaoyao before them seemed to be the most terrifying figure in the Imperial Observatory.

"Whoever you are, no matter how many methods you possess, can you still survive the combined assault of seven Heavenly Human Realm existences?"

The Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect was filled with savage fury.

That was right!

Seven Heavenly Human Realm martial artists were enough to Push Across any force throughout Great Gan.

Yet upon hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao merely said indifferently, "In that case, all seven of you come at once. I'm in a hurry."

Boom!

Upon hearing this, the Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect charged forward directly.

He transformed into a black Afterimage, his True Essence surging as his ferocious aura soared to the heavens.

The remaining Six Heavenly Humans did not make a move.

They wanted to see.

What capabilities this mysterious Ren Xiaoyao truly possessed.

The six of them intended to use the battle between Ren Xiaoyao and the Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect.

To find Ren Xiaoyao's weakness.

Then Take Advantage of Weakness.

However.

Faced with the Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect's killing assault, Ren Xiaoyao did not move in the slightest.

Yet around him.

Spiritual energy spilled forth, like countless sharp swords, severing the Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect's aura and shredding all the True Essence behind his killing attack.

The Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect opened his eyes wide in terror.

He thought this was Ren Xiaoyao's True Essence leaving the body, but such True Essence leaving the body was far too terrifying, surpassing his own by an unknown extent.

It was then.

Ren Xiaoyao drew the Great Sun Divine Sword.

Sword radiance extended three zhang from the divine sword.

Then Ren Xiaoyao gave it a light slash. As though merely playing around, the sword radiance swept across the Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect.

In the previous instant, the Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect had sensed his protective True Essence being torn apart. Before he could react at all, he only felt his will collapsing and dispersing.

Immediately after.

This Heavenly Human Realm martial artist.

Fell directly from the void.

His entire body had been cut into two.

Blood gushed forth.

His single eye was filled with disbelief.

Even at death, he refused to believe that he had actually met his end like this.

Meng Zhongwu and the Gold Wood Water Fire Earth Five Elements Venerables.

When they saw this scene, their hearts instantly turned cold, and boundless Fear surged from within.

In terms of strength.

The Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect was no weaker than any one of them.

Yet he could not even block one sword strike from Ren Xiaoyao?

Was this still human?

They had originally wished to observe the battle between the Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect and Ren Xiaoyao, hoping to find Ren Xiaoyao's weakness.

But now.

All they had found was Fear.

Only at this moment.

Did they understand.

Why Li Chunfeng had laughed so madly earlier. With such reinforcements arriving, how could he possibly die?

Meng Zhongwu took a deep breath. Looking at Ren Xiaoyao before him, he said, "May I ask who Your Excellency truly is? My Qianqiu Pavilion..."

Ren Xiaoyao directly interrupted Meng Zhongwu. "No need for so much nonsense, and there is no need to beg for mercy. Since I have acted, I will not leave any survivors."

Upon hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words.

Meng Zhongwu and the Gold Wood Water Fire Earth Five Elements Venerables immediately changed expression.

They exchanged glances.

Then they attacked together.

They launched attacks at Ren Xiaoyao from every direction. They refused to believe that Ren Xiaoyao could truly suppress all Six Heavenly Humans by himself.

Li Chunfeng also struggled to rise from the ground.

He looked toward the scene as well.

Worry rose in Li Chunfeng's heart.

He feared that Ren Xiaoyao's two fists could not defeat four hands, that facing Six Heavenly Humans alone would put him at a grave disadvantage.

"A boring battle."

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the Six Heavenly Humans charging at him.

Yet he could not summon the slightest interest.

To Ren Xiaoyao.

The speed of these Six Heavenly Humans was still far, far too slow.

Ren Xiaoyao raised the Great Sun Divine Sword and slashed only once.

To Ren Xiaoyao.

It was naturally an ordinary, unremarkable sword strike.

Yet the Sword Qi within it erupted, Covering the Sky and Earth as it swept through the rolling void in All Directions.

In that instant.

Among the mountains and wilderness.

Trees were swallowed by the Sword Qi, scattering like grains of sand and dust.

Mountain slopes were covered by the Sword Qi, tilting and collapsing like floods.

Dust filled the sky.

Li Chunfeng could not see clearly through the dust and True Essence.

When the dust settled slightly.

Li Chunfeng could only see six corpses on the ground, their flesh and blood blurred.

With one sword strike.

All Six Heavenly Humans died.

Even Li Chunfeng froze where he stood.

He felt as though it made his scalp tingle.

His pupils rapidly dilated.

He could not understand.

How Ren Xiaoyao could be so powerful.

Or, more accurately.

He could not understand how such a powerful Martial Artist could exist in this world.

At this moment.

Li Chunfeng thought of a saying.

Where the sea ends, the sky becomes the shore; when mountains reach their peak, I alone stand as the summit.

It suited the scene perfectly.

Only then did Ren Xiaoyao look at Li Chunfeng and say, "Master, stop standing there in a daze. It's time for us to return."

Li Chunfeng nodded repeatedly, then looked at Ren Xiaoyao and asked.

"Ren Xiaoyao, didn't you say before that you would not easily leave Fulong Mountain? Why have you come out into the outside world as well?"

Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Ren Xiaoyao smiled.

"Master, didn't you also calculate that this journey would be fraught with danger, Nine Deaths, One Life? Yet you still chose to come and bring back Senior Sister Bai Su. How can there be so many principles in this world?"

Li Chunfeng chuckled, then pointed at the corpses on the ground and said.

"What should we do with these people? Shall we claim, as before, that I was the one who killed them?"

"Master, I'm afraid you can't carry such a huge burden."

Ren Xiaoyao Shook His Head.

"Then?"

Li Chunfeng's face was filled with confusion.

Ren Xiaoyao chuckled and looked toward the heavens. "Destroy the corpses and erase the traces. Let these seven die without anyone knowing why. That will be enough."

"How will you destroy the corpses and erase the traces?"

Li Chunfeng grew even more puzzled and curious, but Zhao Yi did not answer him.

The next moment.

A scene that Li Chunfeng would never forget for the rest of his life appeared before his eyes.

He saw.

Ren Xiaoyao lightly raised his hand.

Within the void.

Scorching flames the size of small mountains began to gather.

These flames appearing in the heavens.

From afar.

They looked like blazing suns, one after another.

"What is this? Is this Martial Art?"

Li Chunfeng Only Felt it becoming difficult to breathe. He almost felt as though he were dreaming.

"It counts as Martial Art."

Ren Xiaoyao spoke calmly. "Blazing Fire Burns the World; all living beings shall perish."

Then.

Flames like great suns crashed down upon the earth.

It was as though heaven and earth were collapsing.

As far as the eye could see.

There was nothing but Scorched Earth.

This was the power of the spell Blazing Fire Burns the World.

Ren Xiaoyao then led Li Chunfeng, Bai Su, and Yao Luochen away from this place.

The sight left Li Chunfeng utterly dumbfounded.

He stared at the enormous heavenly fires that had fallen to the ground.

Only Felt unprecedented terror.

Earlier, he had thought.

That it was rather regrettable for those Heavenly Human Realm experts to be slain by Ren Xiaoyao's single sword strike, that they had died somewhat stifled.

But now.

Li Chunfeng instead felt that those Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists of Qianqiu Pavilion had been fortunate.

If they had truly seen this scene.

They would surely have fallen into endless despair.

It was the despair of ants gazing upon a True Dragon.

"Is this truly Martial Art?"

Li Chunfeng looked at the flames that Devoured everything, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

"If this fire were to burn within the Capital City."

"The dynasty would change hands at once."

"Ren Xiaoyao alone is already enough to rival an army of thousands upon thousands!"

"Who could possibly stop him?!"
