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

"The Qianyang Emperor's Physique is indeed impressive, even surpassing my Crimson Phoenix Physique. However—" Ning Xi laughed, a disdainful laugh, "Are you worthy? A monstrous talent with no moral compass will only grow into a scourge upon the Nine Provinces. I have no desire to become one of your many women."

"How do you know you don't want to if you don't actually try? Many of my women fell in love with me after we made love first, and you won't be an exception." Qianyang Shengzi's eyes weren't lewd, but rather a frank arrogance. "I despise men who fawn over female cultivators. They can conquer the heart simply by conquering the body. Why bother cultivating feelings slowly?"

These words clearly displeased Ning Xi.

"Because the 'conquest' you speak of is essentially a one-man show that proves your own cowardice."

A truly confident man doesn't need to use brute force to prove his charm.

Their presence embodies the natural way and reflects their unwavering devotion.

And you—you don't even have the confidence to make a woman willingly gaze at you for a moment, so you need to reduce love to the art of beast taming in order to cover up the fact that you don't know how to make two hearts resonate.

Your delusion of "conquering first and then falling in love" is nothing more than a lack of confidence in your own charm.

Because you know that if you were to abandon your physical constitution and stand in front of me, I would feel disgusted even if I looked at you.

You haven't even touched the threshold of love, yet you mistakenly believe you're on cloud nine.

This is probably what they mean by "even the most pitiful person has something detestable about them."

These words enraged the Holy Son of Qianyang.

"What a sharp-tongued bastard! Wait until I kill this swordsman and rape you, then let's see what you can say then!"

War is imminent!

Li Yang remained calm and his mind was not affected by anything from the outside world.

Mu Zangfeng is the strongest and cannot be defeated by force.

The Holy Son of Qianyang is slightly weaker than himself, but he has many trump cards.

The weakest of the demon races, whose true form is unknown, posed the least threat to Li Yang, so he decisively chose the weakest target.

When faced with a battle where one is outnumbered, it's like a brawl among ordinary people in a confined space: grab one and beat them to death.

In Li Yang's mind, even if he dies, as long as he can take one person with him, he won't lose out; taking one more person is a huge gain.

"Without the sword formation and those sword cultivators, what are you anyway!" The purple-haired demon clansman shouted as he saw Li Yang's eyes locked onto him.

"Sizzle!"

He ripped off the human skin with both hands, revealing his true face.

The original scholarly air disappeared, replaced by a primitive and savage aura, as if a ferocious beast from the primordial era had traveled through time to this place.

It was an eight-legged, scaly creature with no mouth, nose, or ears, only one eye that resembled a black sun.

Faced with Li Yang's sword energy, Black Eyes devoured the light of heaven and earth, becoming drowsy and gathering a terrifying power that would bury everything.

"boom--"

A dark light shot out from within, and an energy burst forth that could annihilate all living beings, engulfing the scarlet sword energy.

"I am a descendant of the ancient race—the Dark Scale Eye Demon. In the past, our ancestors fed on the world, bringing everything to destruction in the chaotic era!"

What is there to fear from mere sword energy!

Only the sound of swords whistling in my ears—

Li Yang actually dared to traverse the void in this extremely dangerous realm, arriving beside the Nether Scale Eye Demon in the blink of an eye, and unleashing a powerful and heavy sword strike.

His body radiated killing intent, with a sword hidden within, containing the power of his all-out attack.

"How dare you..."

Not to mention Minglin Tongyao, Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi were also shocked.

They knew Li Yang was no ordinary person; he was fearless and ruthless in battle.

But I never expected that I would be so impulsive as to dare to use the Nascent Soul stage's ability to travel through space in this small world.

After all, this world is collapsing and the void is extremely unstable, so even they dare not travel through it rashly.

But Li Yang not only did this, he did it during battle.

The sword strike came suddenly, and Li Yang was clearly aware of it.

Therefore, this sword strike must draw blood!

Li Yang abandoned all defense, channeling all his killing intent into the Phoenix Sword, solely for the sake of unleashing the strongest strike at this moment.

His physical body underwent a tremendous improvement within that year.

He has been constantly tempered within the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin Formation, and has already reached an unparalleled level, at least not much weaker than Mu Zangfeng.

"Clang!!!"

The already fragile void twisted and collapsed, unable to withstand Li Yang's sword strike.

Caught off guard, the Dark Scale Demon could not dodge and could only use all its demonic power and dark light to defend itself.

"Save me!" It conveyed its will, having witnessed the terrifying power of Li Yang.

It had seen Li Yang on the battlefield between the Tianyuan Dynasty and the Jiuyou Dynasty.

However, since Li Yang was in charge of the sword formation battle, it was impossible to tell how strong he really was, nor was his fighting style known.

Caught off guard, a severe life-or-death crisis struck.

The attacks from Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi erupted the moment Li Yang arrived.

Li Yang's sword was simply faster and purer.

With a "pfft" sound!

The demonic power and dark light of the Dark Scale Eye Demon were shattered, and the Phoenix Sword cleaved its head in two, its killing intent frantically tearing apart the flesh and soul within its skull.

But the next moment——

Mu Zangfeng charged forward wielding an ancient bronze sword, his blood surging, his sword energy crisscrossing, the blade, having drunk the blood of ancient immortals, even neatly cleaving through the void.

Qianyang Saint Son unleashed a punch, emitting a blazing bolt of Yang lightning, seemingly imbued with divine might.

The attack was too fast; Li Yang couldn't dodge it.

He raised his Phoenix Sword to meet Mu Cangfeng's sword.

"Clang!"

The sword energies clashed together in a chaotic melee, neither side using any sword techniques or supernatural abilities; it was a pure contest of sword intent and physical strength.

Upon their rematch, Li Yang still felt the powerful and domineering force emanating from the Phoenix Sword.

Mu Zangfeng's physical body was incredibly powerful; he had even cultivated a sword heart. Most importantly—

A congenital sword-like embryo!

As a sword cultivator, Li Yang could feel the other's body resonating with him.

His entire body was radiating sword intent from every pore, and every inch of his flesh was glowing.

His bones are sword bones, his marrow is sword marrow, and his blood is sword blood—his meridians are natural sword sheaths, and his dantian is an inexhaustible sword pool!

In the dim light, Li Yang saw a small golden sword in Mu Zangfeng's dantian. It was not an ordinary golden core, but a sword core!

Li Yang had used all his strength to kill the Minglin Tongyao, so this sword strike was a poor choice.

He turned around decisively, letting Mu Zangfeng's remaining force strike his back; otherwise, Ning Xi in his arms would have been accidentally injured.

"Pfft!"

The spine was cut open, revealing stark white bones, and you could even see the beating heart through the wound!

Immediately afterwards—

"Boom!"

The power of Yang Lei also struck his body, numbing his entire body. Every inch of his skin was enduring intense pain, and even his soul was injured.

Faced with such damage, Li Yang remained silent without uttering a sound, not even pausing for a moment, and activated a talisman that had been affixed to his palm to escape.

The head of the Dark Scale Demon was severed, but it was not dead. Its entire body transformed into a streak of black light and fled.

"They're still alive?!" Li Yang frowned.

Ning Xi immediately poured several bottles of Nine-Patterned Healing Pills and a large ladle of emerald green Life Elixir into his mouth.

The wounds all over the body quickly healed, scabbed over, and fell off, revealing delicate skin.

Only the wound on his back, which revealed his heart, contained some strange law that prevented the wound from healing.

"That sword has slain an immortal; it bears the immortal's blood."

Li Yang naturally understood this, after all, the rusty marks had an enchanted effect.

In contrast, he was more concerned about why the Dark Scale Eye Demon hadn't died.

"The Netherscale Eye Demon is an ancient species with an unusually tenacious vitality. It is even said that it can be resurrected as long as there is a single drop of blood left," Ning Xi said.

But Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi didn't give Li Yang a chance to continue killing, and pressed their advantage.

"He must possess some means to evade the dangers of the void, but the injury he sustained from my Immortal-Slaying Sword will continuously deplete his life essence. This is a good opportunity to leave him here forever!" Mu Zangfeng's eyes hardened.

"What a reckless fighting style, but it ends here!" The Holy Son of Qianyang's body glowed, transforming into a great sun, and his physical body erupted with a blood and qi power even more surging than that of Li Yang and Mu Zangfeng.

"Watch me shatter the void around you, then let's see how you move about!"

He pointed—

Above Li Yang's head, a phantom finger, as large as a mountain, descended and crushed the void.

"Senior brother, are we still going to fight this head-on?" Ning Xi asked, frowning.

Li Yang turned and ran away with his sword.

With the void collapsing, he naturally dared not traverse the void, nor did he dare use the escape talisman.

But if he just runs away like that, the blood-haired youth might be targeted again.

They adopted a flanking tactic, retreating while fighting.

Occasionally, he would change direction, and if Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi stopped chasing, he would strike again with his sword, forcing the two to be on guard.

However, what Li Yang didn't expect was—

"Damn it!"

The blood-haired youth actually turned back and ran back.

Behind him, five more figures appeared, all of them peerless.

"It's them!" Ning Xi was quite surprised to see that the ones chasing the blood-haired youth were Sang Yan and his suitors. "How did they end up together?!"

"Ning Xi..." Sang Yan was taken aback when he saw Ning Xi, but seeing her in Li Yang's arms, their intimate behavior, he clearly realized something. His face darkened. "So that's why you were indifferent to us. You already had someone else in your heart. Why didn't you say so earlier? Did you find it fun to play with us?!"

The other four experts also looked displeased, but their attention was more focused on the strange and menacing blood mist surrounding the blood-haired youth.

"A celestial opportunity nurtured for countless years!"

They were all intelligent people and quickly analyzed the situation.

"He's refining a celestial opportunity, kill him first! Qin Feng is with him, kill him too!"

Sang Yan and his group of five exchanged glances with Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi, and decisively joined forces.

"Qin Feng must be killed as well! He commands the sword formation and firmly holds the top spot on the kill ranking! As long as we kill him, we'll still have a chance to compete for the inheritance!"
