Sword light flashed, and the world changed color. Five flying swords hovered in the air, each sword containing Heavenly Destruction power. The man in black was overwhelmed by this powerful aura and could hardly breathe.
Ye Changge's figure moved like a ghost between the sword light and the men in black. Every swing of his sword was incredibly precise, and wherever the tip of his sword pointed, a man in black would fall. His eyes were cold and icy, as if freezing one's soul. Every movement of his was full of elegance and power, like a perfect painting.
" The Qinglong Divine Manifestation is nothing special," Ye Changge said indifferently, his voice filled with disdain. Although his voice was not loud, it clearly reached everyone's ears, instilling a strange fear in the hearts of those in black.
The martial artists in the tavern were still in the midst of their cultivation when the Explosion suddenly woke them all up. Some ordinary people, on the other hand, were so frightened that they trembled and hid under the bed.
"Who the hell is this? Why aren't you sleeping at night?"
"Are they courting death? That aura belongs to the Heaven Divine Realm expert."
"Is being Heaven Divine Realm so great? Disturbing people's sleep, is that something to be proud of?"
Some martial artists with bad tempers just started cursing?
Outside, the five flying swords were enveloped by the power of the Heart of Slaughter, radiating terrifying power.
The Jade Ruyi Sword drew a graceful arc in the air, whistling as it slashed towards a man in black. A flicker of terror flashed in the man's eyes, but it was too late. The Jade Ruyi Sword sliced through his chest like lightning, blood spurting out. He screamed and collapsed to the ground.
The Wind Blade Sword followed closely behind, leaving a long trail in the air as it slashed towards another man in black with a sharp Sword Qi. The man in black raised his sword to block, but the Sword Qi of the Wind Blade Sword passed through his blade as if it were nothing, striking him directly. He screamed in agony as his body was cleaved in two and he fell to the ground.
The Spiral Sword spun in the air, emitting a piercing whistling sound, and shot towards a man in black. The man in black tried to dodge, but the Spiral Sword seemed to have eyes, relentlessly pursuing him and finally piercing him through. His eyes widened as he fell to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.
The Wandering Dragon Sword tumbled through the air, carrying immense Sword Qi as it rushed towards a man in black. The man in black raised his sword to defend, but the Wandering Dragon Sword's Sword Qi, like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, instantly shattered his Sword Qi and slammed into him. He screamed in agony as his body was sent flying, crashing heavily into a large tree, his fate unknown.
The Destruction Sword charged directly at the leader of the men in black, an old man dressed in Black Robe. His eyes were gloomy as he watched the Destruction Sword hurtling towards him, but he showed no panic whatsoever. He snorted coldly, formed a hand seal, and a powerful energy burst forth from his body, forming a huge energy shield surrounded by the phantom of Qinglong dragon, exuding an incomparably domineering aura.
The Destruction Sword slammed into the energy shield, producing a deafening roar. The energy shield trembled violently, as if it would shatter at any moment. But the old man merely smiled coldly, his hands continuing to form hand seals, and the power of Late Heavenly God spread out, making the energy shield even more solid.
Upon seeing this, Ye Changge frowned slightly. He hadn't expected the old man to be so powerful, that even the Destruction Sword couldn't break through his defenses. But he didn't give up; instead, he flashed forward and charged at the old man again.
The sword in his hand flashed, each swing carrying the force of a thunderbolt. The power of his Heart of Slaughter erupted continuously. At this moment, it was as if the God of Slaughter had appeared. Although the old man was powerful, he had to retreat repeatedly under Ye Changge's attacks. His expression became increasingly solemn, clearly realizing how difficult Ye Changge was to deal with.
"Boy, who exactly are you? A mere mid-stage Earth God Realm cultivator at the peak of cultivation, yet you dare to be so insolent!" the old man asked with a gloomy face.
"Me? I am Ye Changge." Ye Changge replied calmly, "As for why you were so presumptuous? You came to kill me, so naturally I will retaliate in kind."
" Ye Changge?" The old man frowned, clearly having never heard of the name. But he didn't dwell on it further, instead coldly saying, "No matter who you are, you will die here today!"
After speaking, the old man formed hand seals again, and an even more powerful energy erupted from his body. He flashed and rushed towards Ye Changge. His speed was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning slicing through the night sky.
Upon seeing this, a look of solemnity flashed in Ye Changge's eyes. He knew that the old man's strength far surpassed his own, and he had to go all out to have a chance of survival. He took a deep breath, unleashed the Heart of Slaughter within his body, Devouring Bloodline, and with a flash of Spatial Divine Power, he also rushed towards the old man.
Both were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they collided. A powerful energy surge erupted from them, causing the surrounding air to vibrate and hum. Upon seeing this, the men in black quickly retreated several steps, fearing they would be affected by the energy wave.
The two exchanged blows for dozens of rounds, each collision producing a deafening roar. However, Ye Changge gradually felt his strength waning; the old man's strength far surpassed his own, and he could only rely on his Spatial Divine Power and the power of his Heart of Slaughter to attack.
Seeing this, the old man sneered and formed hand seals to meet the attack. But Ye Changge's fist seemed to possess the force of a thousand pounds. The physical strength of Peak Earth God erupted, directly knocking his hands away and slamming into his chest. The old man screamed and flew backward, crashing into a wall in the distance.
Taking advantage of the moment, Ye Changge flashed forward and caught up, then delivered another punch to the old man. The old man screamed again and collapsed to the ground. He struggled to get up, but it was too late; Ye Changge was already in front of him and stomped on his chest.
"Tell me who sent you?" Ye Changge asked coldly.
The old man, his face pale, looked at Ye Changge and then struggled to speak, "Yes... yes..." Before he could finish speaking, he breathed his last.
Ye Changge frowned and then released his foot. He looked down at the old man on the ground and said coldly, "Since you refuse to talk, I'll investigate myself." After saying that, he turned to look at the other men in black and then rushed over in a flash.
The ensuing battle was a foregone conclusion for Ye Changge. With his formidable combat experience and Heart of Slaughter, he quickly slaughtered all the remaining men in black. He then went to a secluded spot, sat down cross-legged, and began to examine his memories.
This battle was extremely taxing for him, but he also gained a great deal. He not only successfully killed all the men in black, but also found a token on the old man. The token had a mysterious pattern engraved on it and looked very extraordinary.
Ye Changge put the token away and left. He knew this matter wouldn't end so simply, but he was confident he could uncover the truth.
In the days that followed, Ye Changge began to travel around searching for clues.
