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

"Senior brother, save me!"

He pleaded for help from the man in black, but it was too late.

Li Yang's sword entered through the Baihui acupoint on the head and exited through the Huiyin acupoint at the bottom of the legs.

His entire body was split in two, and his soul was instantly shattered by the extremely sharp killing intent and sword intent.

He enjoys killing like this.

Because of their long-term dealings with evil spirits, beheading does not kill instantly, and a large amount of blood will spurt from the severed neck.

But this wouldn't work; the arteries and heart would be interrupted simultaneously, blood pressure would drop to zero instantly, and there would be no ejection.

Blood simply flowed silently from the severed body of the puppet evil cultivator, into the overturned bucket.

He skillfully took all the cultivation resources from the body and burned them to ashes with a single fireball.

From the murder to the burning, the entire process was completed in the blink of an eye.

He charged forward with his sword once more.

"Sir, you have already killed my junior brother, why must it be a fight to the death!" The man in black robes said in a gloomy tone.

"No, no, no!" Li Yang corrected, "The evil he committed was his own doing, and the evil you committed was yours."

And since your desires have been satisfied, shouldn't you also satisfy my desires?

"That damned sword maniac!"

In no time—

The bloodthirsty female cultivator was targeted by Li Yang, but she decisively attacked the burly man.

A cloud of blood mist covered his body.

"I'd rather die than see you die, Fellow Daoist Jiang, I'm sorry!"

"You bitch!"

The burly man had no choice but to turn around.

He is very strong and has a wealth of practical experience.

But when he faced Li Yang, he was quickly drawn into a fierce battle.

It's a life-or-death fighting style, where life and death are decided in the shortest possible time.

In this battle, he only had time to unleash one trump card before Li Yang pierced his brow with a sword, shattering his head.

Seeing Li Yang kill enemies of higher levels as easily as drinking water or eating, the black-robed man and the bloodthirsty female cultivator, who thought they had escaped, felt a chill in their hearts.

"I have heard that there has been a Qi-refining sword cultivator in the Great Qian Dynasty in recent years who has been targeting us as his hunting targets. This must be the person!"

What a pity! If Gu Zangmozi were here, how could he be allowed to act so arrogantly!

"Enough with the talk." The man in black robes pondered. "You cultivate the Blood River Dao, why don't you unleash your Blood Escape technique!"

The bloodthirsty female cultivator looked troubled:

"I've only just begun to grasp the basics; I'm not very proficient yet. You need to buy me some time."

The man in black gritted his teeth, turned around and summoned all the human puppets, including three of them at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"You've gone too far! But I'm not someone you can kill at will!"

However, the imagined battle of wits did not occur.

Li Yang doesn't play by the rules at all.

This wasn't the first time he'd dealt with a puppet evil cultivator, so he didn't bother with the puppet at all, pointing his sword directly at the man in black robes.

"Stop him!"

The man in black robes formed sinister hand seals and activated a soul banner, unleashing hundreds of vengeful ghosts to attack.

Li Yang also had his own methods for dealing with the Soul Refining Banner.

He immediately took out a blazing golden jade ball from his storage bag and threw it forward to detonate it.

"boom--!"

This is a one-time-use magical artifact customized by Li Yang, capable of unleashing an energy surge of extreme yang and strength in an instant.

The nearby vengeful spirits were instantly vaporized, and the rest retreated in fear of the yang energy.

"Clang!"

With a burst of sword roar, Li Yang slashed down two Foundation Establishment puppets with a single sword strike.

There were no other obstacles between them and the man in black robes.

"Die!"

After killing three people, Li Yang's eyes burned with even more murderous intent.

His sword power also increased, because with each kill, his killing intent became increasingly terrifying.

The reason he could easily kill enemies of higher levels was because he had killed enough people that the sword intent attached to his attacks could penetrate armor.

"You're a madman!"

He usually instilled fear in others, and even ordinary cultivators avoided him.

After all, evil cultivators are ruthless and their methods are chilling.

But now, facing Li Yang, he also felt fear.

"Clang! Click!"

With just one sword strike, a crack appeared in the shield.

At this moment, the man in black robes could truly experience Li Yang's terrifying attack power.

Everyone says that sword cultivators are the best at offensive combat. I didn't believe it before, but now I can't help but believe it.

"Clang! Boom!"

Another sword strike landed, shattering the shield and sending the black-robed man flying.

"alright!"

At this time.

The bloodthirsty female cultivator screamed, and her entire body began to turn into blood mist.

The man in black robes was overjoyed and immediately activated a precious Five Elements Escape Talisman to escape.

"Hehehe~! You can't kill me!"

He merged into the blood mist, letting out a wicked laugh.

"Are you the only one with a teleportation talisman?"

Li Yang followed closely behind, activating a teleportation technique and appearing outside the blood mist.

He gripped the sword with both hands, and liquefied spiritual energy surged wildly into its body.

Raise it high above your head, then bring it down with a sudden, powerful strike—

After reaching the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, Li Yang's strength was greatly enhanced.

He unleashed a massive slash radiating the attributes of the crimson sun, further amplified by a fierce killing intent.

With a single swing of the sword, half of the black-robed man's body was severed, and he crashed heavily to the ground.

The blood mist also surged violently.

"Such powerful blood escape technique! This woman must be a prodigy of the Blood River Sect." Li Yang did not sense any life force or killing intent from her, which meant she must have abandoned the man in black robes and fled alone.

However, he didn't know that the surging blood mist was not normal at all; the amount was too large, and it had been completely solidified into blood mist by his sword strike.

"Smile! Why aren't you smiling? Don't you like to smile?" Li Yang landed.

A sword plunged into the black-robed man's chest, the killing intent of the blade causing him to let out a painful howl.

"No...don't kill me! I'm willing to serve you as my master! I have secrets! I know many secrets! Spare my life, I'll do anything you want!" The man in black robes revealed his true face, which turned out to be an ugly woman.

"I don't need that. I'm just curious whether you, who treat others with such cruelty, show the same fear as ordinary people when facing death yourself." Li Yang shook his head. "Now I know the answer."

Li Yang had already stepped on her head, and her skull made a cracking sound as it sank under the weight.

"Gu Zangmozi and his group are trying to get involved with that person in the Ning family..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Yang had already stomped his foot down completely.

That ugly head exploded like a watermelon that had been smashed on the ground.

Before she died, she realized one thing—this sword maniac was truly not interested in the affairs of Yongning County; he was only interested in killing her.

"Junior brother! Are you alright..." Ning Xinyao rushed over, but upon seeing this scene, the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat and she swallowed them back down.

She was beginning to understand why her ninth junior brother was valued by their master.

With only a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivation level, he easily killed four evil cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.

This record is unparalleled anywhere!

It should be noted that heretical practitioners are the most troublesome, employing insidious and ruthless methods without regard for consequences.

But why did evil cultivators become so easy to kill in the hands of this junior brother?

Sensing the terrifying killing intent surging from Li Yang, she couldn't tell for a moment who the villain was.

"Junior brother, junior sister Shen Lu'er..."

After Li Yang finished looting the black-robed man's corpse, he glanced at her and said, "Senior sister, you really have a lot to say."
