Third Elder Zhao Ji, suppressing the terror on his face, stared with an icy gaze at Ye Kunlun, who emerged from behind Li Xiangsi.
"You are the one who killed Elder Lin Yue?" Zhao Ji demanded.
Ye Kunlun said coldly, "Old man, not only did I kill Lin Yue, but I also killed Changsun Yuan, and all the other ants from the Biluo Sect!"
Ye Kunlun had known that trouble was brewing, but he hadn't expected it to arrive so quickly. He had only been out for a short while when the powerhouses of the Biluo Sect came, numbering a hundred strong. For the Biluo Sect, a hundred people was almost their entire force. Clearly, the Biluo Sect intended to annihilate the Wujian Prison.
"Arrogant!" Zhao Ji's corpulent face contorted with malice. "Today, our Biluo Sect will raze your insignificant Wujian Prison!"
Ye Kunlun eyed Zhao Ji with a cold glint in his eyes and said sternly, "I am the King of Shanhe, personally appointed by the Son of Heaven Sage of the Shanhe Platform. For the Biluo Sect to dare to attack a King means they are declaring war on the Shanhe Platform and on Huaxia!"
"I don't care what Shanhe King you are. You killed several core figures of my Biluo Sect, and today I will take your head back."
"Fourth Brother, let's join forces and kill this brat first!" Zhao Ji said to Dao Kuang.
"Good!"
With that, Dao Kuang swung his black saber at Ye Kunlun. Ye Kunlun sneered repeatedly.
Rumble—
Rolling thunder sounded, and lightning power coalesced in Ye Kunlun's hand, instantly forming a fearsome lightning saber! Ye Kunlun raised the lightning saber, meeting Dao Kuang's black saber head-on. The moment the lightning saber appeared, it was like thunder descending from the heavens, accompanied by deafening roars.
At the same time, Dao Kuang's black saber showed a strange anomaly. Its edge flowed like water, as if coated in a layer of black venom. As he swung, the venom coiled around the blade like poisonous snakes, sending shivers down one's spine.
Concurrently, Zhao Ji waved his hands, and a long sword materialized in his grip. Like Dao Kuang's black saber, the sword was entirely black, seemingly forged from a special metal, emanating a terrifying sword intent. It was clearly a peerless divine weapon.
One saber, one sword, carrying world-ending might, struck towards Ye Kunlun.
"Senior, please go tend to Wudao's injuries first!" Ye Kunlun instructed Li Xiangsi calmly.
With his words, Ye Kunlun's lightning saber met Dao Kuang's black saber! The instant the weapons clashed, lightning exploded in the air, the outward-spreading force blooming like countless flowers of lightning in the sky.
Dao Kuang's face turned pale. Ye Kunlun's saber was far stronger than he had imagined. He even sensed a trace of fear, even submission, from his own black saber! Fortunately, at that moment, Zhao Ji's sword arrived.
Ye Kunlun's expression remained unchanged as he lightly shouted, "Sword, come!"
Buzz—
The Star River condensed, sword intent like a vast sea! Though it was daytime, the sky was overcast with thunder and lightning. Now, it seemed as if billions of stars had appeared! The Star River, as if possessing its own consciousness, suddenly surged to meet Zhao Ji's black longsword!
Zhao Ji's heart churned like stormy waves. Ye Kunlun not only cultivated both saber and sword but could also manipulate them simultaneously with his divine sense! Furthermore, with his discernment, he could see that both Ye Kunlun's sword intent and saber intent had already reached the realm of returning to simplicity. No wonder the fifth elder, a master of swordsmanship, had also fallen to Ye Kunlun!
Zhao Ji's thoughts flashed by in an instant. He held his black longsword, directly meeting the Star River tip to tip! The clash of sword intents, victory or defeat, was decided in a single thought. Even though Ye Kunlun's swordsmanship and saber techniques had reached the peak of perfection and returned to simplicity, Zhao Ji refused to believe that Ye Kunlun could maintain seamless coordination while manipulating both saber and sword! As long as he could find a single weakness in Ye Kunlun's sword intent, he could kill Ye Kunlun!
A sinister smile flickered across Ye Kunlun's lips. Ignoring Zhao Ji completely, the lightning saber in his hand shot out a brilliant beam of lightning!
"Ah!!" Dao Kuang let out a piercing scream as his right arm was directly severed by Ye Kunlun's lightning saber, exploding into a mist of blood. Dao Kuang stared at Ye Kunlun in sheer terror. Ye Kunlun casually reached forward, collecting Dao Kuang's black saber into his spatial ring.
"Third Brother, save me..." Dao Kuang, having lost the connection to his black saber and sensing Ye Kunlun's killing intent, shouted in panic. But it was all in vain! Ye Kunlun's lightning saber spun, engulfing Dao Kuang in lightning, and his voice abruptly ceased. The dignified Third Elder of the Biluo Sect, a terrifying existence of the Spirit Manifestation realm, was thus annihilated by Ye Kunlun, body and soul, leaving no trace! Everything happened in an instant. Zhao Ji hadn't even discerned a flaw in Ye Kunlun's Star River before Dao Kuang met his end by the saber.
"Fourth Brother!" Zhao Ji's eyes were bloodshot with rage! "Kill them all! Kill everyone in Wujian Prison!" Zhao Ji roared wildly, and all the powerhouses he brought from the Biluo Sect surged towards Li Xiangsi and the others like a flood!
Li Xiangsi had already administered a healing elixir to Wudao, stabilizing his injuries for the time being. Seeing the dense swarm of incoming powerhouses, she let out a soft cry, "Kill!" Li Xiangsi charged into the ranks of the Biluo Sect powerhouses, her terrifying strength smashing through as if she were in an empty realm. Hot blood stained her crimson wedding dress, making it even more vibrant...
Ye Kunlun's gaze was indifferent, showing no expression at Dao Kuang's death. Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and glared at Ye Kunlun, "Good, very good, Ye Kunlun! You killed several elders of my Biluo Sect. Today, it's a fight to the death!"
"Hahaha." Ye Kunlun laughed. "A fight to the death? It has already been a fight to the death between me and your Biluo Sect. You fatso, you're next to die!" As he spoke, Ye Kunlun casually made a motion. The lightning saber vanished, and the Star River landed in his hand. Ye Kunlun gripped the Star River and thrust a sword at Zhao Ji. Both of their swordsmanship had reached the pinnacle of perfection, moving with extraordinary agility and speed. Each move carried a power of formless great dao, as if capable of tearing apart everything in existence. However, Ye Kunlun's swordsmanship was more incisive than Zhao Ji's, filled with an unstoppable might! He moved like the wind, saber intent crisscrossing the air. Several exchanges of blows took place in mere three breaths. Zhao Ji was horrified to discover that in front of Ye Kunlun, his sword could only defend and had no opportunity to attack. He caught a glint of mockery in Ye Kunlun's eyes. Zhao Ji flew into a rage. In his opinion, Ye Kunlun was clearly toying with him, humiliating him like a cat playing with a mouse! Ye Kunlun chuckled coldly as he watched the enraged Zhao Ji, "What? You don't want to play anymore? If so, let's end this!" Ye Kunlun's gaze turned cold. Zhao Ji shivered, a sense of dread that made his soul tremble washing over him. "Impossible! We are both at the Spirit Manifestation realm, so why are you so strong?!" Zhao Ji held his black longsword and retreated rapidly! "Trying to retreat? Too late!" Ye Kunlun snorted, unleashing the Star River in his hand. It traversed time and space, instantly appearing before Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji's eyes widened as he raised his longsword, attempting to block Ye Kunlun's strike. But his movements were too slow. The Star River sword qi directly pierced his heart! Ah!! With Zhao Ji's final cry of unwilling despair, his body plummeted, blood scattering across the sky! "The Sect Master will surely avenge us and tear you to shreds!" Before dying, Zhao Ji mustered all his strength for his final roar. Ye Kunlun gazed indifferently at the battlefield before him, his eyes filled with endless coldness. Then, he softly commanded, "Lightning, come, annihilate!"
