Truthfully, Chen Yuan had no interest in listening to the other party's barking. It was a complete waste of his time and energy. Without exaggeration,

looking at the entire world, there were only a handful of people below the Dan Realm who could be his opponents.

Did the people opposite him think that numbers could overcome him?

Chen Yuan only wanted to say that they were thinking too much.

Wu Zongxian's tone faltered, and his expression turned furious upon hearing Chen Yuan's words. The other party didn't take them seriously at all, which was absolutely intolerable!

He admitted that Chen Yuan was strong, so strong that he could even kill Grandmasters.

But they weren't useless either. The reason Wu Zongxian dared to confront Chen Yuan, knowing he had the power to kill Grandmasters, was because of the Sword Formation!

There were thirty-six of them in total, with seven Tong Xuan experts as the foundation, and they could definitely withstand a Grandmaster without defeat.

They had already verified this on that Grandmaster from the Azure Cloud Sword Sect who had recently broken through.

After they formed the formation, the other party couldn't do anything to them.

It was because of this that he dared to wait for Chen Yuan here.

Otherwise, did he really think he had been blinded by a woman?

Moreover, his goal this time wasn't to defeat Chen Yuan, but to contend with him without being defeated. In this way, he could stand out in front of Junior Sister Xiao and even the entire Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

Although there was still danger involved, how could he obtain great rewards without danger?

Wu Zongxian decided to take a gamble!

"Everyone, Azure Cloud Sword Formation, activate!"

Wu Zongxian shouted, and the long sword beneath him fell into his hand.

"Activate the formation!"

"Activate the formation!"

The other thirty-five people responded in unison, taking their swords in hand. Sword Qi began to move accordingly, with the seven Tong Xuan experts as the formation's eyes, emitting a powerful aura of slaughter.

This sword formation was the Azure Cloud Sword Sect's supreme technique.

They were using the Thirty-Six Lesser Celestial Azure Cloud Sword Formation, only a small part of the true grand formation. The true grand formation had seven Grandmasters as its formation eyes.

With thirty-six Tong Xuan experts as the formation's base, it could unleash power comparable to a Huayang True Person.

As the sword formation opened, ethereal Sword Qi enveloped the void, constantly absorbing energy.

Feeling the power of the sword formation, Wu Zongxian said loudly:

"Chen Yuan, do you dare to break my sword formation?"

Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, a grave look flashing in his calm eyes. He took a deep look at the sword formation in front of him and had to admit that the power it emitted was indeed very strong.

At least for Tong Xuan martial artists, it was basically at the limit.

Unfortunately, it wasn't enough!

"A group of ants, worthy of me breaking the formation?" Chen Yuan smiled faintly. The biggest characteristic of the sword formation was that it gathered the power of everyone into one, unleashing power far beyond that of the same realm.

The power was indeed extraordinary.

But this kind of gathered power also had a fatal weakness, which was that they weren't really one, but composed of individual martial artists.

There were flaws on their bodies.

If he hadn't obtained the Emperor Slaughtering Saber, Chen Yuan would still need to break it with force, but after obtaining the Emperor Slaughtering Saber, he didn't need to. The fierce aura contained within it could make Ouyang Zhi faint.

Naturally, it could also cripple these people.

Of course, if he faced a Dan Realm Grandmaster, the power he could currently unleash wouldn't be enough, so he had never displayed such means when fighting You Feng before.

Now, facing this low-level collective power, he could use it to show off.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Wu Zongxian could ponder the meaning of Chen Yuan's words, a heaven-shaking dragon's roar resounded through the void. Immediately afterward, a terrifying aura that came from the bottom of their hearts began to erupt.

Ferocity, slaughter, tyranny, deathly stillness...

All kinds of auras instantly enveloped his sword formation. In just an instant, most of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect disciples who formed the formation base seemed to be pulled into a space of consciousness.

Their eyes instantly turned red.

......

......

Time rewinds to half an hour earlier.

Inside the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

Xiao Qingmu, dressed in plain white, stared pensively at the golden-tailed spirit fish swimming in the pond in front of her, her eyes seemingly recalling the past.

From afar, it looked like a beautiful painting.

In her life, she had only admired two men. One was her junior brother, Liu Changkong, who had left the first trace of remembrance in her heart, but it was only suppressed in her heart.

It was only after the news of his death that she felt sad.

One was Senior Brother Gu Hao. She knew very well his feelings and intentions towards her. She was initially resistant, but later thought that being with him seemed like a good choice.

At least he treated her extremely well.

But in the end...

They were all dead, dying at the hands of the same person.

And that person was now famous in the Jianghu, shaking Qingzhou, ranked among the Four Extremes of the Hidden Dragon, with a bright future, laying the foundation for his fame on the corpses of Junior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Gu.

She had been thinking about this matter for these past few days. Of course, part of the reason was to escape.

She didn't want to or dare to see Chen Yuan in Qingzhou City.

One was because she was afraid of not being able to suppress her killing intent, and the other was because she was afraid that Chen Yuan wouldn't be able to suppress his killing intent.

If one were to talk about her understanding of Chen Yuan, Xiao Qingmu was definitely one of them, knowing that he was ruthless and had the qualities of a hero. Generally, such people like to eliminate their enemies completely.

It was hard to say whether he would attack her without hesitation.

So, for the sake of prudence, she felt that it would be better not to leave the sect in the past few days, but unfortunately, she was a smart person, but Wu Zongxian was blinded by lust, being overwhelmed by power and desire.

He wanted to use Chen Yuan to please her.

While she was thinking about these things, the hurried footsteps of the maid beside her suddenly came from behind, accompanied by a panicked voice:

"Miss, something bad has happened."

Xiao Qingmu frowned and turned to look at her, asking:

"What happened?"

"Senior Brother Zhao said... said..."

"Said what?"

"Said that Senior Brother Wu took a group of fellow disciples down the mountain to find trouble with Chen Yuan."

"What!"

Xiao Qingmu's heart suddenly rose, and she quickly asked:

"Has this matter been confirmed?"

"Senior Brother Zhao said that he personally watched them leave. Originally, he was going to go too, but something happened in his family that delayed him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he quickly came to find the servant."

"How long have they been gone?"

"It's been more than two hours."

Xiao Qingmu's expression changed drastically, and she said in a deep voice:

"Don't spread this matter. I'll go see my father first!"

After saying that, she flew away into the distance.

She knew too well the current situation. Without her father's help, with Senior Brother Wu's strength, he would definitely be going to his death. Chen Yuan was too powerful, so powerful that he could even kill a Grandmaster.

Even her father had said before that this person must not be provoked again.

Otherwise, after a few years, he would definitely be another Jiang He.

Although she didn't like Senior Brother Wu's behavior and gaze, he was, after all, a relatively outstanding disciple of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect in this generation, and he had also incited other fellow disciples.

If so many people died,

it would definitely be adding insult to injury for the already declining Azure Cloud Sword Sect!

Somewhere outside Qingzhou City.

The conquest... no, it was a one-sided massacre that was still going on.

Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, calm and composed.

The Emperor Slaughtering Saber hung in the void, and invisible power was still emanating.

At this moment, the Azure Cloud Sword Formation that Wu Zongxian had painstakingly formed had already collapsed without being attacked. Figures fell from the void, dozens of meters apart,

and all the Azure Cloud Sword Sect disciples who landed were all killed.

At the same time, the expressions on their faces were still terrified, as if they had seen something terrible before they died. Blood flowed from the seven orifices of these people, and their eyes were wide open.

These people were like kites with broken strings, falling to the ground one after another, making booming sounds.

Only seven people remained in the void.

But most of these people were still trapped in the terrifying consciousness, and their mouths were still constantly shouting various foul languages.

An unparalleled evil object was not just a saying.

Even now, Chen Yuan had only initially used its power. With his strength, he was not yet able to fully exert the power of the divine weapon.

He felt that if he broke through to the Huayang Realm and then controlled the Emperor Slaughtering Saber, these people would probably fall in an instant, but by then, he probably wouldn't need the Emperor Slaughtering Saber anymore.

Chen Yuan still didn't make a move, and those Tong Xuan experts in the void also began to lose their last bit of sanity, falling from the void one after another, bleeding to death from their seven orifices.

There was already a huge, insurmountable gap between them.

"Ah!
!"

The only one still persevering was Wu Zongxian. He had broken through the Heavenly Palace and was inherently stronger in resisting, and the look on his face became increasingly hideous.

He was roaring and screaming.

Like an evil ghost just crawling out of the abyss.

With a thought from Chen Yuan, the Emperor Slaughtering Saber sounded, and all the fierce aura was instantly absorbed into the blade, and then it flew into the scabbard behind Chen Yuan on its own.

If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that this was an unparalleled evil saber with great power.

With the fierce aura retracted, Wu Zongxian's eyes gradually began to recover, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Chen Yuan was filled with undisguised fear.

As if he had seen an unparalleled fiend.

He looked down blankly, looked at his unscathed body, and then his eyes suddenly froze. He saw the hideous corpses below.

Because they fell from a high place, many people even had their brains splattered.

The ground was stained red with blood, like a scarlet curtain.

"I told you, you can either die one by one or die together. Now I've made the choice for you, so let's die together." Chen Yuan looked at him indifferently.

That look was no different from looking at a dead man.

Wu Zongxian swallowed, took a long breath, landed slowly from the void, and without the slightest hesitation, knelt down in front of Chen Yuan. He looked up at the figure standing in the void and said:

"Lord Chen, please spare my dog's life. It's because I was blind and arrogant, and I deserve to die. I only ask you to spare my life for the sake of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

I... I'm willing to be your dog. If you want to deal with the Azure Cloud Sword Sect in the future, I can be your inside man."

Wu Zongxian completely kneeled.

There were many reasons for this appearance, such as fear of death and entanglements, but the most important reason was fear. Just now, in his eyes,

he saw himself being cut into pieces, with pieces of flesh falling from his body, turning into a skeletal frame.

Hot oil was poured on his body, and he was swallowed in one gulp by an evil dragon.

That feeling completely shattered his mind, even when he recalled it.

Wu Zongxian, whose Dao heart was broken, could never make any progress in martial arts in this life.

Chen Yuan didn't respond.

Gritting his teeth, Wu Zongxian stood up, knelt again, and kowtowed heavily on the ground, saying:

"Lord, if you spare my life, how about I offer Junior Sister Xiao to you? Junior Sister Xiao is the Sect Master's only daughter, and she's a natural beauty. She's just right to be your servant."

"Waste."

Chen Yuan's lips curled up, and he looked indifferently at the guy kneeling and begging for mercy in front of him.

If the other party had been tougher after waking up, Chen Yuan might have thought more highly of him, but now, he was definitely a waste, his Dao heart was destroyed, and inner demons were growing.

Not only was Wu Zongxian not angry at being insulted, but he smiled ingratiatingly, stood up, took three steps forward, and knelt down again:

"Lord, you're right, I'm just a waste, I'm not a threat to you at all. You're generous, can you let me go, this waste?"

"A waste has no value in existing." Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he looked into the distance. From his left rear, a terrifying aura was enveloping him at a very fast speed.

With a thought, a streak of Gang Qi directly shattered Wu Sankui's head into a bloody mist.

He was originally thinking of getting some information about the Azure Cloud Sword Sect from him, but now it seemed that there was no chance...

The Emperor Slaughtering Saber fell into his hand, Chen Yuan's aura solidified, and he looked coldly at the two figures that were approaching from afar.

The people who came were none other than the Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, Xiao Yunsheng, and his daughter, Xiao Qingmu.

After Xiao Qingmu saw Xiao Yunsheng, she didn't dare to hide anything and told her father everything. Then, the two of them rushed here as quickly as possible.

But in the end, it was still a step too late.

Looking at the thirty-six corpses on the ground, two tears streaked across the corner of Xiao Qingmu's eyes, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Chen Yuan was also filled with deep disgust and hatred.

It was him again!

Killing Senior Brother Gu and Junior Brother Liu wasn't enough, and today he added thirty-six more lives!

She didn't think about the fact that Wu Zongxian and others were the ones who wanted to attack Chen Yuan first. She only felt that Chen Yuan was really a bloodthirsty demon. How could such a person become famous in the world?

Xiao Yunsheng's face was unusually gloomy, and a deep killing intent emanated from his livid face.

"Father..."

Xiao Qingmu hesitated to speak.

But Xiao Yunsheng raised his hand and interrupted her next words. His eyes slowly swept over the corpses on the ground and moved to Chen Yuan, who had a calm face:

"Was it you who killed them?"

Chen Yuan looked at Xiao Yunsheng indifferently:

"Besides me, there's only you here. If I didn't kill them, could it be that you killed them?"

"How dare you!"

"Chen's courage has always been great. I've never been afraid of anything in my life."

"Do you know the rule that killing someone requires paying with your life?"

Chen Yuan laughed, laughed somewhat wantonly, and looked at Xiao Yunsheng and said word by word:

"Has Sect Master Xiao heard of the rule that if someone offends me, I will offend them?

These people intercepted and killed me first, but they were too weak to be abused by me. This official would like to ask Sect Master Xiao, which law have I violated that I need Sect Master Xiao to manage?"

Xiao Yunsheng's eyes flashed with cold light:

"Is this the attitude of a Tong Xuan martial artist towards a Grandmaster?"

"No, this is the attitude of an official of the imperial court towards a commoner."

"Extremely arrogant, Chen Yuan, this seat knows that you have extraordinary talent, but do you know that talent is nothing before it's transformed into strength. Young man... don't be too arrogant.

Although Wu Zongxian was at fault first in this matter, your attack was too ruthless. Last time, for the sake of Jiang He, the grievances between you and me were settled. This time, are you planning to be irreconcilable?"

Xiao Yunsheng took a step forward, and a terrifying aura like a covering sky and earth erupted in an instant. The powerful power of a Grandmaster stirred the heaven and earth's vitality, and in the void, dark clouds gradually began to gather.

Rumbling thunder began to explode in a muffled sound.

As a Heavenly Dan level, Xiao Yunsheng could easily stir up the nearby weather.

Feeling the terrifying killing intent coming head-on, Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged. Only a strong aura isolated all of Xiao Yunsheng's aura.

He looked at Xiao Yunsheng calmly and said:

"There's a saying that I like very much, what's the point of being young if you're not arrogant? Is Sect Master Xiao threatening me? What a great prestige, the sect disciples besieged an official of the imperial court, do you know what crime this is?"

"Irreconcilable? Hehe... so what? What does Chen Yuan have to fear!"

"Chen Yuan, do you really think that I, Xiao, wouldn't dare to kill you?" Xiao Yunsheng was rebutted by a Tong Xuan martial artist, and his heart was immediately filled with killing intent. Even if the other party was a leader in the Tong Xuan realm,

the gap between his level was still worlds apart.

"Of course you dare, but... can you kill me? Don't forget, where is this? Tell me... wouldn't a Immortal Execution Sword fall from the sky in the next moment?"

Chen Yuan's lips curled up in a cold smile.

"You dare to threaten me?" Xiao Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"This is not a threat, this is a fact. If Sect Master Xiao doesn't believe it, you can try it." Chen Yuan stared at the other party and said indifferently.

Xiao Yunsheng stared directly at Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan also stared directly at him. The atmosphere between the two sides was extremely tense, lasting for about three breaths before slowly dissipating.

The vast and huge aura slowly retracted, and Xiao Yunsheng said in a deep voice:

"Wu Zongxian and the others were expelled from the sect three days ago, and now they are rogue cultivators. The grievances between you have nothing to do with the Azure Cloud Sword Sect."

Chen Yuan chuckled and replied:

"Of course!"

"What courage, I hope that the next time I see you, you can still be so tough." Xiao Yunsheng took a deep look at Chen Yuan, waved his hand, and the dozens of corpses on the ground turned into dust.

Then, he snorted lightly, turned around and took Xiao Qingmu away.

In an instant, they disappeared in front of him.

The smile on Chen Yuan's lips slowly changed, becoming extremely gloomy. His back was already soaked with cold sweat. He looked at the back of Xiao Yunsheng leaving and sneered coldly:

"Azure Cloud Sword Sect, hehe..."

......

......

"Father, are you just going to let Chen Yuan go like this?" Xiao Qingmu was very puzzled.

At first, she thought that her father would really kill Chen Yuan in a fit of rage to avenge Senior Brother Wu and others.

"Chen Yuan dared to face me without retreating, neither humble nor arrogant, and he must have something to rely on. I'm afraid that Jiang He is waiting in the dark for his father to make a move."

Xiao Yunsheng said in a deep voice.

"Jiang He? Father, is Jiang He really that scary? Can't even the ancestors kill him?" Xiao Qingmu frowned slightly. She only knew that martial artists in the lower realms were afraid of experts in the upper realms.

She had never heard of experts in the upper realms being afraid of martial artists in the lower realms.

But it seemed that Jiang He was very different.

"Jiang He is not simple, he cannot be measured solely by realm, because... he may not necessarily be a Dan Realm cultivator." Xiao Yunsheng's eyes were full of fear.

"Father, what do you mean?"

"Just guessing."

"Then are we just going to let Chen Yuan go like this? He killed Junior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Gu first, and Elder Gu also died because of him. Now he has killed Senior Brother Wu and the others. Is the sect really not going to do anything?"

Xiao Qingmu felt a little humiliated.

A dignified top force in the Jianghu was now so cautious towards a Tong Xuan martial artist. It was truly ridiculous.

"Of course not, but we cannot act rashly against Chen Yuan. We must kill him with one strike!"

"Hmm?"

"Chen Yuan's talent is too terrifying. We must not let him live. If he does, he will become another Jiang He. Today, the grievances have been completely torn apart, and we cannot tolerate him even more. We must nip him in the bud."

"What is Father planning to do?"

"Kill him with one strike, leaving no future troubles!"

"Father also said that Chen Yuan is valued by Jiang He. If we attack him, wouldn't that..."

"Then let Jiang He die with Chen Yuan."

"Father wants to..."

"Jiang He is indeed incomparably powerful and can block Huayang, but can he block one, can he block two? Don't think about this matter anymore, just pretend it never happened."

"Daughter understands!"
