Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 167 Taking Control of the Immortal Slayer
Dao Xuan Zhenren waved his hand gently, but looked at the scene before him, which resembled a living hell, with a complicated expression, and then couldn't help but sigh softly.

But the next moment, Dao Xuan Zhenren's expression suddenly changed, and Zhang Xiaofan looked up abruptly, his eyes narrowing as he stared at the pile of severed limbs.

"Buzz!!"

An ancient cauldron slowly rose up, and then Wan Renwang, whose body was shrouded in blood-red light, slowly stood up from the ground.

Seeing that Wanrenwang was completely unharmed, the group of righteous cultivators couldn't help but change their expressions, while the group of demonic sect members stared at Wanrenwang's back with complicated expressions.

These members of the demonic cult are all elites from various factions, many of whom are elders who have experienced countless events and are all cunning and treacherous old demons.

Seeing Wanrenwang's state, the remaining elites of the Demonic Sect all knew perfectly well that Wanrenwang had definitely reserved some of his strength to protect himself, thus allowing so many of his fellow members of the Holy Sect to die tragically.

Although infighting among factions is common, Wanrenwang's actions were far too ruthless, causing severe losses to all factions, including the Ghost King Sect.

Ignoring the severed limbs all around, Wan Renwang stood in the center of that inferno, like the ruler of the inferno world, looking at Dao Xuan Zhenren with an indifferent expression and sneering.

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation truly lives up to its reputation as the number one extraordinary formation in the world. Its power is indeed terrifying, even I, the Alliance Leader, am powerless against it!"

Upon hearing Wan Renwang's words, Dao Xuan Zhenren's expression changed, and he reached out and gripped the ancient sword in his hand tightly.

"Uncle!"

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but whisper a word. Dao Xuan Zhenren's current state meant he could no longer activate the Zhuxian Sword Formation. If he forced it, he would inevitably suffer a backlash from the Zhuxian Sword's malevolent energy.

That malevolent energy is different from evil energy; it can directly erode a person's mind, and even Zhang Xiaofan cannot help others expel the malevolent energy from their bodies.

Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at Zhang Xiaofan slightly, then nodded slightly to him. Zhang Xiaofan's pupils shrank upon seeing this.

Before Zhang Xiaofan could speak, Wan Renwang slowly stepped forward and said softly.

"Your sect truly possesses profound foundations. Inside the Jade Purity Hall, besides the ancient pine tree, there is actually a late-stage Shangqing Realm expert hiding there. No wonder you are the number one cultivation sect in the world!"

Faced with the praise of thousands of people, Dao Xuan Zhenren showed no joy whatsoever; on the contrary, he became even more vigilant.

Previously, after leaving the Ancestral Temple, Dao Xuan Zhenren had a premonition that Cangsong Daoren would collude with the Demonic Sect to attack the mountain today. Therefore, before leaving, he specifically instructed Wan Jianyi to bring the Zhuxian Sword.

During this time, Wan Jianyi would never intentionally reveal his aura, but at this moment, Wan Renwang saw through Wan Jianyi's strength in a single sentence, which shows how strong Wan Renwang's perception is.

A sudden realization flashed through the minds of Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, Master Shuiyue, and the others.

As the leaders of their respective lineages, they naturally knew that the Zhuxian Ancient Sword had always been sealed within the Illusion Moon Cave. They had previously wondered why the Zhuxian Ancient Sword had flown out of the Jade Purity Palace.

Now we have the answer: it must be because Senior Brother Wan brought the Zhuxian Ancient Sword.

However, the other members of the Qingyun Sect, the monks of Tianyin Temple, and many righteous cultivators all looked puzzled.

Now that Qingyun is in dire straits, how could there still be experts of the Shangqing Realm within Qingyun Sect hiding in the shadows and not making a move?

Besides, the righteous cultivators and the demonic sect members were even more shocked by the profound strength of the Qingyun Sect. Even at this point in the battle, there were still experts in the late stage of the Shangqing Realm who had not yet made a move. "Since joining the sect, my junior brother has been guarding the Ancestral Hall and the Zhuxian Ancient Sword on our master's orders. I never expected that the Ghost King Sect Master's perception would be so sharp. I admire you, I admire you!"

Faced with countless inquiring gazes, Dao Xuan Zhenren only spoke softly, without revealing Wan Jianyi's true identity.

Perhaps, a hundred years ago, right there in the Jade Purity Hall, Wan Jianyi had already died, and the one who was still alive was just an unknown disciple of the former Qingyun Sect Master, Tianchengzi.

Wanrenwang chuckled upon hearing this, his blood-red eyes gazing intently at the Jade Purity Palace before turning his gaze to Dao Xuan Zhenren and Zhang Xiaofan.

"Sect Leader Dao Xuan, do you still have the strength to activate the ancient sword Zhuxian once again?"

Seeing this, Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled lightly and shook his head frankly.

"I am already severely injured. That sword strike earlier exhausted my strength, and I am now unable to activate the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation."

Seeing this, Wanrenwang couldn't help but reveal a smug smile, but the next moment, his face suddenly froze.

Dao Xuan Zhenren reached out and handed the ancient sword in his hand to Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, but then he heard Dao Xuan Zhenren speak.

"Do you remember the hand seal I taught you that day?"

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled the Heavenly Secret Seal he had learned when he met Dao Xuan Zhenren. He then nodded gently.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes widened. If that were the case, then the method to activate the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation could be the Heavenly Secret Seal.
With this in mind, Zhang Xiaofan reached out and took the ancient sword Zhuxian from Dao Xuan Zhenren's hand.

The Zhuxian Sword felt cold to the touch, even somewhat rough. Moreover, the moment he touched it, Zhang Xiaofan could feel a fierce aura surging into his mind.

Moreover, the moment Zhang Xiaofan grasped the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, he could even feel a special energy surging within his body.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

After the ancient sword Zhuxian entered Zhang Xiaofan's hand, it trembled slightly, and faint seven-colored sword energy slowly gathered around it.

Wanren's pupils shrank involuntarily. Even the other members of the Demonic Sect changed their expressions upon seeing this, staring at Zhang Xiaofan with fear and involuntarily taking several steps back.

The power that Dao Xuan Zhenren had previously unleashed on the Zhuxian Ancient Sword had left an indelible impression on these people.

At this moment, seeing that the Zhuxian Ancient Sword in Zhang Xiaofan's hands seemed to possess even more spirituality than in Dao Xuan Zhenren's hands, he was even more terrified.

Zhang Xiaofan held the Burning Sword in his left hand, while slowly raising the Immortal Execution Sword in his right hand, pointing it directly at Wanrenwang.

Wan Renwang stared warily at the ancient sword in Zhang Xiaofan's hand, hesitating slightly. He was unwilling to give up so easily, but he was also worried that if Zhang Xiaofan could really activate the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he might not be able to withstand it.

Wanrenwang had personally witnessed the terror of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation once. Although he had held back a bit at the time, he had only refrained from using his full strength to save the others in order to protect himself.
