I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

There is no such thing as suppressing one's cultivation level to the same level.

This isn't about selecting highly talented elites; it's about pure ability.

Where are there many fair competition venues for you to showcase your skills?

After all, the Bai family wanted the strongest thirty guards, not potential guest advisors.

"Young friend, this wedding escort mission is extremely dangerous. You'd better not participate," the Bai family patriarch kindly advised.

It was hard for him not to notice Li Yang.

After all, Li Yang, a Qi Refining cultivator who was halfway to Foundation Establishment, stood out among the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Doesn't the recruitment notice say it requires late-stage Qi Refining or higher?" Li Yang asked.

"That's good, but that was posted before. We need to make adjustments based on the actual situation."

"No need," Li Yang shook his head.

The head of the Bai family didn't offer much advice.

No one mocked Li Yang for overestimating his abilities.

In the world of cultivation, there are countless examples of people pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

"Junior brother, would you like to borrow my magic weapon?" Ning Xinyao asked.

Li Yang shook his head.

After refining the soldier chess piece, he sent his spirit sword to it.

The next moment, a bronze sword appeared in the chess piece's hand, which was exactly the appearance of the spirit sword.

Some soldiers had a lot of magical treasures, and their bodies were stuffed full of them.

Ning Xinyao even directly gave each soldier a storage ring.

As the soldiers returned to the Asura Battleboard, everyone's consciousness was completely integrated into the battlefield world within it.

After a moment of disorientation, Li Yang opened his eyes.

The sky was overcast, the bloodstains on the battlefield had dried, and broken halberds and swords were scattered everywhere.

He became a bronze soldier, his appearance exactly the same as his original form, except that his skin was bluish.

"scold!"

With a sharp shout, the nearest cultivator activated his magic weapon and charged towards him.

Clearly, the other party sees him as an easy target.

After all, one's cultivation level can be hidden when one is outside.

At this moment, Li Yang's aura was still at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, and he no longer had any concerns.

This person's magic weapon is a whisk.

With a flick of the wrist, a volley of wind and thunder erupted, sweeping across the land.

Li Yang gripped his sword, advancing instead of retreating.

"Clang!"

The sword energy erupted, glowing with a scarlet light, cleaving through the wind and thunder with unstoppable sharpness.

The latter was taken aback.

Clearly, no one expected that this sword cultivator, who was only half a step into the Foundation Establishment stage, would have such a powerful attack.

By the time they realized what was happening, Li Yang was already upon them.

He snorted coldly, formed a hand seal, and spat out a powerful white light from his mouth.

"Boom!"

A blinding white lightning bolt exploded, crashing head-on into Li Yang who was charging towards him.

He is very confident.

This secret technique is most effective against enemies who want to get close to a magic cultivator. As a member of a major magic cultivator sect, he is the pride of the sect.

He had always been the one to defeat enemies of higher levels, and he never thought that Li Yang, who was only at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, could defeat him, who was at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

As he thought, Li Yang would have to dodge or retreat in the face of this thunderous strike.

If they retreat, it will play right into their hands.

This "Thunderous Roar" locks onto the target with the soul and will not stop until it hits the target.

Moreover, at such a close distance, Li Yang couldn't possibly dodge faster than it.

however--

"boom!"

Li Yang didn't dodge or flinch; instead, he slashed his sword fiercely at the blazing white lightning!

crazy!

This is the first thought in practicing this method.

But then he saw that the lightning had actually been split in two, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"How is this possible?!"

Then an extremely sharp sword aura pressed down on him, stinging his face painfully.

Only in that instant did he finally realize just how terrifying the enemy before him truly was.

Everyone says that sword cultivators are the best at offensive combat, but no one said they were this terrifying!

Just how many people must have been killed for this killing intent to be refined to such a terrifying level!

He immediately activated the magical artifact on his body, conjuring a phantom chainmail to protect himself.

"Ding~!"

Li Yang thrust his sword with all his might, the tip striking the illusory chainmail with a metallic clang.

But then, the sword's entire body shone with a scarlet light, and its power erupted a second time.

With a "snap," the illusory chainmail was pierced, revealing a small opening.

The sword pierced straight through the man's brow.

First kill!

The person suddenly opened their eyes, their entire body drenched in cold sweat.

Although it wasn't the real thing, the sense of death felt quite real.

He looked at Li Yang, his eyes still filled with fear.

"Who exactly is this person?! Although their cultivation is only at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, their attack power is terrifyingly fierce!"

He was careless to some extent, but if it happened again, he still wouldn't be confident of winning.

at this time--

The battlefield within the Asura Battle Disc is now engulfed in chaos.

Li Yang did not seek out his next enemy.

A battle without life-or-death stakes or rewards holds no appeal for him.

After witnessing Li Yang's strength, those around him dared not underestimate this half-step Foundation Establishment sword cultivator. They could tell at a glance that he must have come from a certain sword cultivator lineage.

The number of people quickly decreased from nearly a hundred to less than fifty.

Most of them were experts at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment or above, making Li Yang's Qi Refining skill stand out.

"This swordsman is suspicious; the three of us will work together to eliminate him."

Three mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators banded together, intending to eliminate the weakest one, otherwise they would be the ones to be eliminated.

But just then...

Xuan Shi, the demon prince of the Devouring Heaven Demon Palace, let out a furious roar, and a terrifying sonic wave erupted from his mouth:

"roll!"

The sound waves contained demonic energy, creating an energy storm that drove the three people away.

Originally, no one dared to provoke him, but having successfully advanced, he unexpectedly walked towards Li Yang:

"You're not bad. Would you like to become my follower?"

He walked up to Li Yang, his eyes filled with admiration.

Li Yang holds the sword in one hand, the tip pointing to the ground:

You don't deserve it.

Xuan Shi did not get angry: "I understand your dissatisfaction. I will suppress my cultivation and fight you. If you lose, you will follow me."

In response, however, was a sword aura unleashed by Li Yang.

"Clang!"

Xuan Shi was taken aback and subconsciously raised his hand to block.

"Tch~"

His prized physical body was actually cleaved open by this sword energy, reaching all the way to his arm bone!

"It seems you agree."

Xuan Shi was not angry but rather pleased.

The stronger Li Yang is, the more qualified he is to become his follower.

"Who do you think you are?" Li Yang spoke, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt. "A mere demonic cultivator should be tucked in like a rat in the street here. Do you really think you're something special just because those shameless female cultivators favor you?"

ridiculous!

In my eyes, you demonic cultivators would be fine if you practiced honestly.

If you overstep any bounds, you will be executed!

How can a person be so audacious?!

The surrounding cultivators couldn't help but sigh upon hearing Li Yang's words.

The opponent is the demon prince of the Devouring Heaven Demon Palace!

He even went so far as to curse all the female cultivators who had previously tried to flirt with Xuan Shi. Wasn't he afraid of attracting hatred?

The smile on Xuan Shi's face gradually disappeared.

"I've changed my mind." His tone was chilling. "I will kill you! Not just on this battlefield!"
