Ten Thousand Sword Masters

"Everyone, give it your all and help me kill this beast quickly."

As the giant spider rushed back, Yang Changping calmly issued orders.

"yes!"

Zhang Jianyun and the other armored soldiers responded in unison.

"Kill them!"

Then, the armored soldiers, shouting battle cries, charged towards the giant-eyed spider with their swords drawn.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The giant spider manipulated its web to attack the group. Zhang Jianyun swung his sword repeatedly, slashing at the web and blocking the giant spider's attacks time and time again, moving closer to the giant spider.

"Zhang Jianyun, quickly charge to the left side of the giant spider." Seeing that Zhang Jianyun was the only one among all the armored soldiers who was not having much trouble dealing with the giant spider's attack, Yang Changping gave him the order to act.

Upon receiving the order, Zhang Jianyun quickly changed direction and charged towards the left side of the giant spider.

blah blah blah!

At this moment, Yang Changping launched a fierce attack on the giant spider from the front.

The shockwave from the clash between two cultivators at the Sea of ​​History realm caused Zhang Jianyun to sway a few times, almost causing him to fail to withstand the giant-eyed spider's attack.

"If only I had the cultivation level of the History Sea Realm."

For the first time, Zhang Jianyun had the idea of ​​breaking through to the Sea of ​​History realm.

Previously, although he vaguely knew that there were powerful martial artists in this world who possessed the power to move mountains and overturn seas, he had never seen one with his own eyes.

Now, seeing Yang Changping fighting the giant spider and experiencing its immense power up close, his ambition began to sprout.

If someone can possess such great power, why can't I be one of them?

Clang!

Once ambition took hold, Zhang Jianyun instantly unleashed a powerful surge of ruthlessness, cleaving the spider web in two with a single strike and then slashing at the giant-eyed spider's thigh.

Seeing Zhang Jianyun attack the giant-eyed spider's body again, Yang Changping became even more excited. He swung his long sword even faster, believing that as long as he could attack the giant-eyed spider's body, he would surely be able to kill it with one strike.

boom!

Suddenly, Yang Changping unleashed a signature move, blasting open the spider web. He then leaped onto the giant spider's head and slashed it with his sword.

call out!

The giant spider leaped, trying to dodge the attack. Yang Changping then launched a series of leg strikes in mid-air, slashing at the giant spider.

"Zhang Jianyun, aim at the giant spider's eyes and attack them."

Yang Changping kept the giant spider occupied while shouting at Zhang Jianyun. He estimated that Zhang Jianyun's strength was enough to blind the giant spider.

Upon hearing Yang Changping's shout, Zhang Jianyun flashed to the front of the giant spider, running back and forth, looking for an opportunity to attack the spider's eyes.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Yang Changping's attacks grew increasingly fierce, sparks flying as his longsword clashed with the spiderweb, the sparks gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

call out!

Amidst Yang Changping's fierce attack, Zhang Jianyun seized an opportunity, leaped up, and stabbed the giant spider in the right eye with his knife.

Seeing this, the giant spider tried to dodge the attack, but Yang Changping slashed with his sword, blocking its escape route.

laugh!

Zhang Jianyun successfully stabbed the giant spider in the right eye, instantly spurting out a stream of green blood. The giant spider's entire body swayed, and its legs contracted rapidly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Changping attacked the giant spider's neck with his knife, while simultaneously throwing a punch at the spider's left eye.

boom!

Yang Changping punched the giant spider in the left eye, and then, taking advantage of the spider's frenzy, slashed off its head with a knife.

The giant spider crashed to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

Yang Changping landed, wiped the blood off his face, then looked at Zhang Jianyun and nodded.

Zhang Jianyun walked up to the giant spider's head, forcefully pulled the fish-patterned knife out of its right eye, and then glanced at the knife in Yang Changping's hand out of the corner of his eye.

The way Yang Changping took advantage of the chaos to sever the giant spider's head with a single strike was truly awe-inspiring. I must be just as awe-inspiring one day.

"Be careful, everyone, the battle isn't over yet."

Just as Liu Fei came over and put his arm around Zhang Jianyun's neck, wanting to say a few words of praise, Yang Changping spoke up to remind him.

"Let's search for this villa together."

Zhang Jianyun and the others were puzzled, but they became tense again and followed Yang Changping as he searched the villa.

They searched the entire villa but found nothing unusual.

After pondering for a while, Yang Changping said, "Everyone, split up and search to see if there's any underground entrance."

Then everyone started searching.

After searching around, Zhang Jianyun arrived at a study. He looked around, went to the bookshelf, and pushed it open easily.

This caught his attention, and he reached out and started banging on the wall.

boom!

When it hit a stone, there was a loud bang, the stone dented, and then the wall creaked and started to rotate.

The wall rotated open, revealing a passage, which greatly surprised Zhang Jianyun.

"My lord, my lord, we've found a passage."

Zhang Jianyun rushed to Yang Changping and informed him that a passage had been discovered.

Immediately, Yang Changping gathered the armored soldiers and brought them to the passageway in front of the study.

"Everyone be careful. I suspect that the giant-eyed spider was summoned by someone, and the person who summoned it may still be down here."

Yang Changping said in a deep voice. Everyone was startled and looked at each other, realizing that something was amiss.

Zhang Jianyun was completely confused and didn't quite understand what Yang Changping meant.

At that moment, Yang Changping had already stepped into the passage.

"Stay alert, this could be a tough battle." Liu Fei patted Zhang Jianyun on the shoulder, said this, and then stepped into the passage.

"A fierce battle?"

Upon hearing Liu Fei's words, Zhang Jianyun's heart leaped into his throat. He then took a deep breath, gripped the fish-patterned knife tightly, and followed behind into the underground passage.

After walking several dozen steps into the underground passage and turning a corner, an underground plaza came into view for Zhang Jianyun and the others.

Looking around, eight pillars stand around the square, each carved with grotesque and ferocious creatures. At the end of the square, there is a five-colored altar, eight feet high.

At this moment, a large black cauldron on the altar was burning with raging flames.

Hehehe~

Just then, a sinister laugh rang out, and a person dressed in black robes slowly rose from the altar.

"I didn't expect the Nine Star Guards to arrive so quickly," the man in black said in a deep voice after standing up.

"You summoned the giant-eyed spider, so you should know that my Nine Star Guards are coming." Yang Changping said, walking towards the altar, with the armored soldiers following closely behind.

Hehehe~

The man in black chuckled sinisterly a few more times. "What a pity about that giant-eyed spider. I originally infused it with a human soul, giving it human intelligence, thinking it would delay you for a while and buy me enough time."

"If that giant-eyed spider hadn't revealed human intelligence, I wouldn't have guessed that the people from Cang Sheng's left hand had come to my Cangxi Town," Yang Changping said as he walked.

"Sect Master Yang, my Left Hand of the Common People has always taken it upon itself to save all living beings. Why don't you help me complete the construction of the altar, open the strange space, and welcome the arrival of the strange? If the strange successfully arrives, you will also have a share of the credit," the black-robed man tempted.

Yang Changping sneered a few times upon hearing this, "You think you can successfully build the altar all by yourself? You're overestimating yourself."

"It's all up to human effort, Pavilion Master Yang. Only by embracing the bizarre can our human race achieve immortality. On the path to immortality, the path we, the common people, walk with our left hand is the right one." The man in black robes said, forcefully opening his arms and looking up at the void.

"Your path to immortality comes at the cost of countless lives; it is a wicked path," Yang Changping said disdainfully.

"Hahaha~"

The man in black robes laughed loudly, then said, "Who can define the word 'evil'? Without immortality, how can my human race stand tall in all the heavens and myriad worlds? If the human race does not stand, where will the people come from? Do not use false peace to cover up the cruelty of this world. Even if only one person of my human race is left in the end, as long as he can live forever, that will be a victory for the human race."

"This is heresy, utter nonsense, you've lost your mind! Attack!" Yang Changping roared, swinging his sword at the man in black.

"You think you can kill me? Not so easy."

The man in black robes snorted coldly and then stomped his foot, causing the entire altar to shake instantly, followed by the underground plaza.

Boom boom boom!

One after another, the eight pillars carved with hideous and bizarre shapes lit up, and then each pillar emitted a wisp of black mist. The eight wisps of black mist gathered above the altar, forming a vortex.

"Die, all of you!"

Just then, the man in black robes roared, and several beams of black light shot out from the black vortex, attacking Yang Changping, Zhang Jianyun, and the others.

At the same time, the man in black robes flicked his wrist, and a black longsword crackling with lightning appeared in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, six white snakes flew out from his back and shot towards Zhang Jianyun and the others.

"Quick, dodge the black light!" Yang Changping shouted as he dodged.

Zhang Jianyun and the other armored soldiers all stepped back and then jumped to avoid the attack of the black light.

Boom boom boom!

The black light struck the ground, blasting up countless boulders and causing the earth to shake violently.

shhhhhh!

Zhang Jianyun swung his sword repeatedly, maneuvering against the white snake that was attacking him.

The white snake was hard all over, like a sharp sword, and its attacks were extremely fierce.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Zhang Jianyun struck the snake's back several times with his sword, producing a loud clang, but only left a few knife marks on the snake's back, failing to kill it.

Seeing this, Zhang Jianyun felt helpless, unsure how to deal with the white snake.

On the other side, Yang Changping was engaged in a fierce battle with the man in black robes. Clearly, the man in black robes also possessed the cultivation level of the Sea of ​​History realm.

Boom boom boom!

As the ground plaza continued to shake, the roof began to collapse, and the entire Tongluo Villa caved in.

"Everyone be careful, don't get hit by falling rocks!" Yang Changping shouted.
