You call this the way of the sword?

In the northern part of the Pingchuan battlefield, in the barren mountains, the earth was a deep crimson, as if it had been washed in blood.

The air was thick with the scent of blood, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to be affected, displaying a strange gray-black and reddish hue.

Lightning flashed in the sea of ​​clouds, and the residual magical energy from the war gathered within, unleashing an invisible pressure.

Two squads of bat demons were patrolling outside a secluded stronghold deep in the mountains.

They were clad in iron armor, half-flying and half-walking, looking quite impressive, but they were drinking and chatting frivolously, especially when they mentioned the newly promoted girls among the human race, laughing with increasing excitement.

"Look at this one, wow, what a round butt! Hahaha!"

"Pshaw, what's so great about these little ones? The real gems are the ones with that haughty look on their faces. Look at their humiliated expressions, oh~~"

"Hehehe, you talk like you've done it before."

"Can't I have it in my dreams? Let me tell you, I've mastered it. Now I dream about Li Qingxuan every night. Tsk tsk, the feeling..."

"Hiss, of all people to dream about, why this jinx? Tell me what she was like in your dream..."

Perhaps they felt that no one would cause trouble in broad daylight, or perhaps it was just their nature, they played around with the reflection stones, showing very little wariness.

As the first few bat demons passed a bend in the hill, they were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice anything unusual behind the hill until the next few bat demons floated over and suddenly let out a few strange cries.

In an instant, sword light shot out simultaneously, piercing the bat demon's mouth with perfect precision and interrupting its cry.

Immediately afterwards, several large blue and white hands lashed out and dragged all the bat demons to the hill behind them with lightning speed, where they were torn to pieces on the spot by 90 Soul Swords.

In less than two seconds, the two teams of 10 bat demons died without knowing why, completely powerless to fight back.

Not far away, Bai Xiaoxing watched with a deathly pale face and her eyes twitching wildly.

She realized once again that she had underestimated Yang Qingfeng's fighting ability and ruthlessness.

With the bat demon as a direct comparison, Bai Xiaoxing felt that being hung on the sword as an ornament was not a bad thing.

If it weren't for his special physical body, he would probably have been chopped to pieces long ago.

"It's better not to have any illusions; being honest is better than anything else..."

Bai Xiaoxing looked at Yang Qingfeng while adjusting her mask, a complex expression in her eyes.

At this moment, Yang Qingfeng stood on Yu Junjian, high in the air, looking down at the bat demon stronghold.

Judging by his appearance alone, his youthful looks don't actually have much of an intimidating effect. Only those who have actually met him will know that his seemingly harmless demeanor is the most terrifying thing.

However, by the time one realizes this, it is usually too late.

Under Bai Xiaoxing's gaze, a brown rift tore open in the air, and sword spirits roared out from behind Yang Qingfeng, heading straight for the bat demon stronghold.

This action would be tantamount to suicide for anyone else.

However, Bai Xiaoxing felt it was only natural for Yang Qingfeng to do this, especially as the number of sword souls increased and strange screams and cries began to emanate from the bat demon camp.

She was numb for two seconds, then pulled out a map and prepared for her next target.

At this moment, the divine talisman trembled. Upon opening it, one would find that the battlefield kill list had been updated.

Just as the human race has the Pingchuan Grand Competition, which revolves around the indiscriminate hunting of all other races, there is also a kill list among demons and ghosts, targeting the geniuses and rising stars of the human race.

"Hmm... have they already started fighting?"

"It's a bit early this year. The new human entrants should have just arrived, right? Are they already on the list?"

Bai Xiaoxing's curiosity was immediately piqued.

Each time the kill list is updated, it means that the newly promoted humans have arrived on the battlefield, or have even engaged in fierce battles with demons and ghosts, and a winner has been decided, which is why one or two people will be on the list.

However, when Bai Xiaoxing opened the list, she saw a completely new list.

Last year's kill list was a nightmare for both the demon and ghost races.

Because the top ten, including Dead Gun Cao Xiaomei, Spirit Slayer Li Qingxuan, and King Dao Chen Ke, were completely unable to handle them; there were no demons or ghosts who could kill them.

Even though Bai Xiaoxing arrived late and missed Li Qingxuan and the others, she had heard rumors and was influenced by what she saw and heard, which made her somewhat resistant to the Kill List.

Until now, when the list was updated, it was full of new names, and they were all only at level 10 or 20.

What's even more puzzling is that this year's list has added a new feature: an option next to each person's name.

[Photograph]

Bai Xiaoxing clicked on it with suspicion, and a portrait of a newly promoted human immediately appeared before her eyes.

It indicates information such as Dao body, level, equipment, skills, and estimated Dao cultivation.

This is like the information that the humans themselves compiled and sent out specifically for them to hunt.

"what?"

Bai Xiaoxing was stunned for two or three seconds, then felt it was unbelievable.

She quickly pointed to a few people, and the more she looked, the more something seemed off.

Most of the newly promoted humans on the list are wearing the robes of the state religion, and the background is their welcoming ceremony. The strangest thing is that Yang Qingfeng unsurprisingly occupies the top spot, but there is no photo or specific information about him.

"He really is the strongest this year..."

Bai Xiaoxing felt increasingly fortunate, but also increasingly puzzled.

The most bizarre one, ironically, has no information at all?

If he hides the information, wouldn't the rising stars of demons and ghosts be sent to their deaths if they encountered him?

Click on Yang Qingfeng's name, and you'll find a message solicitation section.

Simply uploading Yang Qingfeng's information will earn you a substantial reward.

Bai Xiaoxing raised an eyebrow slightly. She really did have a few mirror stones, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to secretly take a picture of Yang Qingfeng.

At that moment, a whooshing sound came, accompanied by a shadow, and with a loud thud, the bat demon leader, who was more than two meters tall, crashed down, appearing to be on the verge of death.

As Yang Qingfeng landed on his sword with the sword spirit, he said bluntly, "Be his witness. As long as he answers the questions honestly, I will spare his life."

Bai Xiaoxing's hand hovered in mid-air, the kill list still flashing before her eyes.

She looked down at the bat demon leader, who was covered in blood, and a chill ran down her spine.

Regardless of what kind of inferior demon the bat demon is, anyone who can become a leader must be at least at the maximum level of a certain stage, which is on par with her in terms of level, yet Yang Qingfeng beat her up like this.

Bai Xiaoxing's eyes twitched, and she immediately pushed the kill list in front of Yang Qingfeng. "Master, take a look at this first. This is our Ghost Clan's kill list, which was just released and is aimed at your human race's newcomers."

"Oh?"

Yang Qingfeng leaned over for a look, and his eyebrows immediately furrowed.

He didn't care much about any kill list among demons and ghosts; the problem was that this thing was obviously fake.

He's at the top, no problem.

But why is Sha Yinzhen ranked second?

The third place is actually Deng Penghui?

Yang Qingfeng suddenly became interested and poked at his own name, but did not see his own reflection. Without thinking, a sinister image of Liu Changge appeared in his mind.

They wouldn't let him attend the welcome party, then sent him to the battlefield, and now they've come up with this outrageous list.

It's as if to say: Your name can't be hidden anymore, the rest is up to you.

Yang Qingfeng opened the attribute panel thoughtfully, deciding to hide all the information regardless of what he did.

At the same time, a cold light flashed.

The female swordswoman drew her sword and slashed, instantly beheading the bat demon.

Bai Xiaoxing was just about to go and deliver a message when she was startled by the sword strike. "Master, Master?"

"I've changed my mind. He knows my name; I can't let him stay."

"Huh?"

Bai Xiaoxing turned around nervously and saw Yang Qingfeng raising his hand towards her.

The moment her cheek was touched, Bai Xiaoxing recoiled violently, instantly disappearing into the ground and transforming into a skeleton with astonishing speed. "I...I swear, I didn't do anything! I didn't betray you!"

"You can't kill me, I don't know your name!"

"I know nothing!"

"I... ...
