Li Chunfeng had clearly collapsed from exhaustion.
Yet he still laughed maniacally.
High in the heavens, the Great Sun Divine Sword shed its pitch-black base, revealing endless 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 opened their eyes with difficulty.
They looked at the Great Sun Divine Sword hovering in the void.
An inexplicable sense of palpitations rose within them.
These seven Heavenly Human Realm martial artists of Qianqiu Pavilion.
Before coming here, they had already heard that Li Chunfeng possessed the terrifying means of Void-Distance Sword Control.
Thus, they had always remained wary.
Yet Li Chunfeng had never used Void-Distance Sword Control before this.
That 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 gust of wind brush against their necks. Then, Bai Su and Yao Luochen fell unconscious.
Since he had chosen to act discreetly.
Ren Xiaoyao naturally could not allow anyone besides Li Chunfeng.
To learn of his 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 as they looked at Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao's appearance had been far too strange.
He had appeared before them without anyone noticing.
"Who are you?"
Meng Zhongwu stared at Ren Xiaoyao.
For some unknown reason.
He vaguely sensed a threat from Ren Xiaoyao.
Strange!
There were clearly no energy fluctuations on Ren Xiaoyao's body.
Why did he feel this way?
Ren Xiaoyao did not waste words.
With a light beckoning motion, the incomparably radiant Great Sun Divine Sword fell into his hand.
"Imperial Observatory, Ren Xiaoyao."
Ren Xiaoyao's expression was calm.
Since he had revealed 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 its dimness in Li Chunfeng's hand earlier, they immediately understood something.
"You are the true master of this divine sword. Li Chunfeng was merely your cover!"
The seven Heavenly Human Realm martial artists of Qianqiu Pavilion felt their hearts skip a beat.
They had discovered this terrifying truth: this Ren Xiaoyao before them seemed to be the most terrifying figure within the Imperial Observatory.
"Who cares who you are? No matter how many tricks you possess, can you still survive against the joint assault of seven Heavenly Human Realm existences?"
The Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect was overflowing with hostility.
That was right!
Seven Heavenly Human Realm martial artists were enough to push across any force in the entire Great Gan.
Yet upon hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao merely spoke indifferently. "Then all seven of you, come at me together. I'm in a hurry."
Boom!
The Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect charged forward at once.
He transformed into a black Afterimage, True Essence surging as his aura soared into the heavens.
The remaining six Heavenly Human Realm martial artists did not act.
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 murderous assault, Ren Xiaoyao did not make the slightest move.
Yet around his body.
Spiritual energy overflowed like sharp swords, severing the Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect's momentum and shredding all the True Essence behind his killing strike.
The Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect's eyes widened in terror.
He thought this was Ren Xiaoyao's True Essence that had left the body, but such True Essence was far too terrifying, surpassing his own by an unknown extent.
And at that moment.
Ren Xiaoyao drew the Great Sun Divine Sword.
Sword radiance stretched three zhang from the divine sword.
Then Ren Xiaoyao gave it a light slash, as though merely playing around, and 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 sensed his protective True Essence being torn apart. Before he could react, he only felt his consciousness collapse and scatter.
Immediately after.
This Heavenly Human Realm martial artist.
Fell directly from the sky.
His entire body had been cut into two.
Blood streamed forth in torrents.
His single eye was filled with disbelief.
Even in death, he refused to believe that his life had ended just like this.
Meng Zhongwu and the Gold Wood Water Fire Earth Five Elements Venerables.
Upon seeing this scene, they felt a chill rise from the depths of their hearts as boundless fear surged forth.
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 withstand one sword from Ren Xiaoyao?
Was this still human?
They had originally wanted to observe the battle between the Old Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect and Ren Xiaoyao, hoping to find Ren Xiaoyao's flaws.
But now.
All they had found was fear.
Only then.
Did they understand.
Why Li Chunfeng had laughed so maniacally 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 where Your Excellency comes from? 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 a single survivor."
Upon hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words.
Meng Zhongwu and the Gold Wood Water Fire Earth Five Elements Venerables immediately changed expressions.
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 with his power alone.
Li Chunfeng also struggled to rise from the ground.
He looked toward the scene as well.
Li Chunfeng was worried.
He feared that Ren Xiaoyao's two fists could not beat four hands, that facing six Heavenly Humans alone would put him at a terrible disadvantage.
"A boring battle."
Ren Xiaoyao watched the six Heavenly Humans charging toward him.
Yet he could not summon the slightest interest.
To Ren Xiaoyao.
These six Heavenly Humans were still far, far too slow.
Ren Xiaoyao raised the Great Sun Divine Sword and merely cut out one sword.
For 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 Sword Qi, scattering like grains of sand and dust.
Mountain slopes were covered by Sword Qi, tilting and collapsing like a flood.
Dust filled the sky.
Li Chunfeng could not see clearly through the dust.
And when the dust slightly dispersed.
Li Chunfeng could only see six corpses with their flesh and blood mangled lying upon the ground.
Beneath one sword.
All six Heavenly Humans had died.
Even Li Chunfeng stood frozen on the spot.
He only felt as though it makes one's scalp tingle.
His pupils rapidly dilated.
He could not understand.
How Ren Xiaoyao could be powerful to such an extent.
More precisely.
He could not understand how there could be such a powerful Martial Artist in this world.
At that moment.
Li Chunfeng thought of a saying.
Where the sea ends, heaven becomes the shore.
When mountains reach their peak, I alone become the summit.
It was exceptionally fitting.
Only then did Ren Xiaoyao look at Li Chunfeng and say, "Master, stop staring blankly. We should head back."
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.
"Didn't Master also divine that this journey was 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? Should we announce to the outside world, as before, that I was the one responsible?"
"Master, I'm afraid you cannot carry such a huge black pot."
Ren Xiaoyao shook his head.
"Then?"
Li Chunfeng's face was full of confusion.
Ren Xiaoyao chuckled and looked toward the heavens. "Destroy the corpses and erase the traces. Let these seven die without anyone knowing why, and that will be enough."
"How will you destroy the corpses and erase the traces?"
Li Chunfeng was even more confused and rather 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 raise his hand.
Within the void.
Scorching flames, each like a small mountain, 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 hard to breathe, as though he were dreaming.
"It counts as Martial Art."
Ren Xiaoyao spoke calmly. "Blazing Fire Burns the World; all living beings shall fall."
Then.
Flames like great suns crashed down upon the ground.
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.
Li Chunfeng was even more dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
He stared at the enormous Heavenly Fires that had fallen to the ground.
Only felt unprecedented terror.
Before this, he had thought.
That it was rather regrettable for those Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists of Qianqiu Pavilion to be slain by Ren Xiaoyao's single sword strike, their deaths somewhat stifled.
But now.
Li Chunfeng felt that those Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists of Qianqiu Pavilion had been fortunate.
If they had truly witnessed this scene.
They would have been swallowed by endless despair.
It was the despair of ants gazing upon a True Dragon.
"Is this really Martial Art?"
Li Chunfeng stared 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 stop him?!"
