Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

Li Yu was not surprised by Master Jingchen's attitude.

After all, he only spoke up because he knew the other party couldn't accept this condition!

This is why Li Yu did not choose to join any faction.

A force is a force because it is composed of a group of people.

No force would ever harm the interests of the group for the sake of personal emotions or interests!

Unless... the person in power can achieve extreme dictatorship!

But Li Yu didn't have the patience to scheme against them, climb the ranks step by step, and solve various predicaments.

In a world where individual power is greater than everything else.

He just needs to improve his own strength.

When you get to that point, if you need something, you can just say a word and get anything you want.

Countless people will swarm in like wasps, willing to be their pawns!

Meanwhile, in the sky, after Xu Yuan's death, the Wrathful King also realized this.

I'm afraid I won't be able to accomplish anything on this trip.

With the immortal Cangyun of Maoshan here, it's difficult for me to do anything to that person with double pupils.

Since that's the case, there's no need to continue fighting.

With a swipe of his demonic blade, a terrifying crimson slash swept across the sky, forcing Cang Yun back.

The King of Wrath spoke in a calm voice.

"Cangyun, I will remember this matter."

"In the future, we will definitely take it back from Maoshan!"

Seeing that the King of Li was about to flee, how could Master Cangyun allow it?!

His swordsmanship skills have not improved for a long time.

Now that we have encountered an opponent who is evenly matched with us, or even slightly better than us, and who brings us pressure, how can we let him go so easily?

"Your Majesty, are you going to flee in disarray like those stray dogs you keep?"

"If you can't produce something today, you're not leaving!!!"

Chant!

A piercing sword cry resounded, and a terrifying sword light slashed down from the sky!

This forced the tyrannical king to stop in his attempt to leave!

This action undoubtedly enraged the King of Li.

"You brat from Maoshan, how dare you bully me like this?!"

"kill!!!"

With a furious roar, the King of Wrath's aura surged, and terrifying blood light swept across the heavens and earth!

An even more terrifying battle has begun!

At this moment, in the earth.

Everyone was watching the battle in the sky with bated breath.

Learning just a few moves from it is enough to bring about a terrifying improvement in one's cultivation!

The same applies to Li Yu.

The double pupils spun wildly, constantly analyzing the battle between the two.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

It was already evening.

This horrific battle has finally come to an end.

At this moment, Master Cangyun was no longer the dashing figure he had been when he first arrived.

His clothes were tattered and torn, like those of a refugee who had been wandering for months.

However, his eyes were incredibly bright!

The King of Li was not having an easy time either.

His already serious injuries worsened, and an abnormal flush appeared on his face.

"I gained some insights from this battle, and I really have to thank the Wrathful King, hahahahaha..."

Upon hearing this, the King of Li's face turned ugly, but he did not say anything.

His gaze pierced through endless distances and landed on the earth.

After giving Li Yu a deep look, the King of Li turned and left.

As for A1?

It was just a dog that was already beyond repair; the cost of its treatment had exceeded its intrinsic value.

Picking them up would just be a waste of resources.

It's an honor for him to die here.

This time, Master Cangyun did not stop King Li.

After all, he has achieved his goal: his dormant sword cultivation has made a breakthrough. As long as he returns to Maoshan to digest it properly, he will surely reach a higher level in the future!

As for keeping the King of Li completely?

Putting aside the fact that this old guy isn't someone who can be kept around so easily.

Even if he could kill it, Cang Yun would not choose to do so!

The White Horse Temple didn't want to be the first to stand out, and neither did the Maoshan Temple!

Stepping down from the heavens, Master Cangyun laughed and spoke.

"So, you little rascals, did you get anything?"

Si Mu pursed his lips and remained silent, clearly not having grasped the point.

After all, he has never had much talent when it comes to artistic conception.

Chizuru, on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought, with a faint hum of sword energy emanating from within her body, clearly indicating that she had gained a great deal.

As for Shi Jian?

Neither the swordsmanship of Master Cangyun nor the killing intent of the King of Li were suitable for him.

However, he didn't spend all that time watching for nothing!

A subtle current flowed around Shi Jian's body, as if it contained a hint of agility.

He took in everyone's reactions.

Apart from Four Eyes, Master Cangyun was quite satisfied with everyone else.

Finally, he looked at Li Yu and said with a smile.

"Young friend, you possess double pupils; you must have grasped the most insights!"

Li Yu smiled and spoke.

"Not even a fraction as good as my senior!"

Hmm... I've gained quite a lot!

Compared to Cangyun's proud bamboo sword style, he preferred the murderous intent of the Wrathful King.

Existing solely for killing—simple and brutal!

During this period of observation, he successfully grasped this murderous intent!

Although it's only the first glimpse into the field, there's no doubt that it's been mastered!

Swordsmanship, knife-wielding, spear-wielding, and even hammer-wielding and axe-wielding can all be collectively referred to as a realm of artistic conception.

The levels of mastery over artistic conception are categorized as: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Peak, and Perfect.

Artistic conception differs from magic and supernatural powers, which are not created by magical power, but rather originate from consciousness!

This relates to the mysterious and profound concept of comprehension.

Just like math problems, you either know how to do it or you don't!

Those who can comprehend the essence of the art will experience an extreme boost in their strength, just like Master Cangyun and King Li!

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators, like Xu Yuan, would be no match for the two even if they risked their lives!

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the intent to kill, Li Yu immediately thought of the Creation Pearl!

If the Pearl of Creation elevates all things, then why can't this artistic conception be elevated as well?

Without hesitation, Li Yu transcended his initial resolve the moment he grasped the intent to kill.

The result was quite unexpected.

The elevation of his artistic conception did not improve his mastery, but rather refined his intent to kill!

In other words, the stone turned into gold!

The quality has changed!

If Li Yu and the King of Li were to fight each other, and both of them had the same level of control over the intent to kill.

Li Yu could certainly say something.

My bloodlust surpasses yours!

Seeing that Li Yu didn't say anything more, Master Cangyun didn't ask any more questions either.

However, if he knew that Li Yu had now mastered the will to kill, he would probably be shocked and speechless, questioning his own existence.

The difficulty of achieving artistic conception is comparable to that of supernatural powers!

It took him more than a decade of practice to master the meaning of "proud bamboo".

In just half a day, Li Yu had grasped the intent to kill.

That's truly appalling!

At this moment, Master Cangyun's gaze swept across the shattered earth, and he spoke.

"Young friend, after this matter, that old bastard, the King of Li, will not let you off the hook."

"Given the chance, he will definitely make a move on you!"

"Before you break through to the Golden Core stage, why don't you come and take refuge at our Maoshan Mountain?"

"Of course, I don't mean to force you to join Maoshan. It's all up to you."

"However, your cultivation is still shallow. Without the Golden Core stage, traveling outside would be dangerous!"
