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

As soon as he finished speaking, the Phoenix Sword plunged straight in, cleaving Ye Zhi Qiu in two.

"System, save me! No—!"

Ye Zhi Qiu's voice stopped abruptly, as his body and soul were cleaved apart by killing intent and malevolent energy.

At the same time.

"Zhi Qiu," who ranked fifth on the kill list, has disappeared.

Instead, Li Yang inherited all of Ye Zhi Qiu's killing points, and also gained additional killing points from killing those who were the best in the same realm, firmly holding the top spot on the leaderboard.

[A time traveler!]

Right after killing Ye Zhi Qiu, Li Yang suddenly sensed a strange entity that was invisible to the naked eye and could not be detected by his divine sense from Ye Zhi Qiu's corpse.

But Li Yang could sense that the other party seemed to be dissipating and had locked onto him, heading towards him.

"Could that be the system?!"

Li Yang frowned and closed his Purple Mansion.

The strange entity crashed into him, but it couldn't enter Li Yang's body; it seemed extremely anxious on the outside.

[Let me in, and I can become your system's cheat code, allowing you to conquer all the most beautiful women in the Nine Provinces!]

Li Yang ignored him.

Because at that moment, Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi's attacks arrived.

Almost immediately after I killed Ye Zhi Qiu, he arrived!

Although Ning Xi used a defensive talisman, the attacks from the two were too terrifying. Her body was blasted away, and Mu Zangfeng even cut off one of her arms.

Ning Xi immediately activated the teleportation talisman again, moving Li Yang to a safe area.

That arm fell into Mu Zangfeng's hands and was severed by his sword.

With his limbs severed, Li Yang's body is not capable of regenerating in such a short time.

"Luckily, you killed him. Otherwise, if you had cooperated, we would have been in serious trouble."

With Ye Zhi Qiu killed, Mu Zang Feng and Qian Yang Sheng Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

Moreover, Ye Zhi Qiu did enough to attract most of Li Yang's firepower, giving them the opportunity to severely damage Li Yang.

It's no loss to be killed now; sacrificing an ally for their victory is well worth it.

If it were them, they would certainly agree to make Ye Zhi Qiu a slave in exchange for a greater chance of victory.

However, for Li Yang, Ye Zhi Qiu, who was suspected of possessing a system, absolutely could not be allowed to live.

Even if one refines the soul blood, given the terrifying power of the system, it can conjure up any secret techniques or treasures out of thin air.

Furthermore, Ye Zhi Qiu said that he should swear by his sword heart not to harm him, which is tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

Moreover, Ye Zhi Qiu's character is not much better than Qian Yang Sheng Zi's, and he also possesses a heaven-defying system, the troubles it will cause in the future are unimaginable.

Li Yang didn't share the sentiment of "when fellow villagers meet, tears well up in their eyes."

Life is diverse.

If a scumbag like Ye Zhi Qiu had the ability on Earth, he would be shot.

In short—Li Yang would never compromise with evil!

He has always been an extreme person. Even though he knew that cooperating with Ye Zhi Qiu was the best solution, he did not want to give up the opportunity to kill Ye Zhi Qiu.

[Let me bind with you quickly! You're also a time traveler, so we're practically from the same hometown!]

I would never harm you; I would help you at all costs!

【You are far superior to that good-for-nothing Ye Zhi Qiu, and you possess a personal charisma that he lacks. With my assistance, you could easily become either the leader of the Dao Alliance or the Sword Master of the Sword Alliance!】

The system's voice urgently entered Li Yang's mind.

But he firmly sealed his Purple Mansion, gathering his sword intent to guard outside his brow.

He could sense this strange entity gathering around him, but it couldn't affect him in any way.

It is clear that the system binding is not mandatory.

Or, to put it another way, if the system wants to change hosts, the other party must be a transmigrator, and the other party must agree.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for you. Without my help, you are doomed!

If Li Yang hadn't encountered that swordsman from the Exorcism Division, he might have agreed.

After all, the system was incredibly powerful. Li Yang had seen it in online novels on Earth in his previous life; it was an essential cheat code for transmigrators.

Basically, it is entirely beneficial to the host.

The fact that the Evils knew of the system's existence and defined it as an extraterrestrial demon is enough to show that the system is not some unique and wonderful thing in this world.

Li Yang did not want to become an enemy of the righteous path, nor did he want to become an enemy of the Sword Alliance.

However, Ye Zhi Qiu was rejected because he was a terrible person who colluded with evil spirits and deserved to die.

As for the system...

"What kind of system are you? How can you help me?"

[I am the "All-Heavens Conquest System." Anyone you set your sights on, no matter who they are, will eventually become your vassal, making you their entire world! And for each person you conquer, the system will give you generous rewards!]

"What if I wanted to possess all of Qianyang Shengzi's concubines? But if I killed Qianyang Shengzi, they would probably only resent me."

No! Absolutely not! Whether they want to or not, you can conquer any woman if you want, and they will never betray you.

The system's voice was full of confidence, showing that it was also anxious and eager to bind itself to Li Yang.

However, once Li Yang received answers to these two questions, it meant that he absolutely could not let this guy in.

"So you mean erasing Kunxiu's independent personality is your so-called strategy? How is such behavior any different from that of a demonic bandit practicing evil arts! Wouldn't my determination to kill Ye Zhi Qiu and the three Holy Sons of Qianyang at the cost of my life become the biggest joke?!"

No! That's not how it works!

[I'm just an assistant; ultimately, it's up to you to win them over, not to force your way in. You can see that from Ye Zhi Qiu's inability to win over the five senior sisters of the sect leader peak! My role is to ensure that once you succeed, they can never betray you!]

"Never betray me?" Li Yang laughed. "Kunxiu are not anyone's private property. If I do something wrong, then they have the right to push me away and move towards the right side, instead of unconditionally and without independent thinking clinging to me, making me go further and further astray."

Anyone who dares to become a demon, I, Li Yang, will chop off their head. If I, Li Yang, ever become a demon, even my closest Daoist partner can come and chop off my head!

I've figured it out now; Ye Zhi Qiu becoming this kind of person is inextricably linked to you!

No wonder the Extermination Bureau can't tolerate you. Whether it's your conduct or your methods of stealing rewards, you're essentially a demonic weapon!

Upon hearing this, the system knew that Li Yang could never be bound to it.

He immediately panicked:

[If you don't bind yourself to me, given how things unfold, you'll definitely die at the hands of Mu Zangfeng or the Holy Son of Qianyang. But if you bind yourself to me, I can give you the ultimate newbie gift pack to help you overcome this difficult time!]

"My answer is the same as before—" Even with a missing arm, Li Yang still smiled, "—I refuse!"

After saying that, Li Yang gathered all his killing intent and baleful aura, enveloped himself, and frantically attacked the system around him.

You will die!!!

Li Yang's tone was as usual, conveying a sense of composure:

"I, Li Yang, would rather die in battle than live and grow stronger by stripping others of their dignity. This is a shortcut my sword heart cannot tolerate! So what if I hit a wall! If that wall was built to protect evil, even if I'm bloodied and broken, I will have no regrets!"

While speaking, Li Yang simultaneously transmitted the information to Ning Xi.

After all, she was the most outstanding member of the Immortal Ancient Family and knew much more.

"Extraterrestrial demon! You're courting death!"

From within the small world, a mysterious and unpredictable aura emanated, seemingly containing supreme power of laws.

Li Yang's attack could not harm the system, but the strange aura spread out, driving the system away from Li Yang and accelerating its demise.

You'll regret this! I'm waiting for you to die!

at the same time.

Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi have already caught up with them.

We must take advantage of Li Yang's severe injuries and kill him in one fell swoop.

"Qin Feng, I thought you would be my most troublesome nemesis, but now it seems you are just a foolish brute." Mu Zangfeng charged over, the heavy feeling that had gathered between his brows lessening considerably.

At this moment, Li Yang not only lost an arm, but his physical body and strength were also nearing their end.

Although he and the Holy Son of Qianyang were both heavily exhausted, they had no obvious injuries, giving them a significant advantage.

"I am a sword cultivator. Cultivation is like cultivating oneself, and cultivating oneself is like cultivating the sword." Li Yang showed no pain on his face, his eyes coldly fixed on the approaching Mu Zangfeng. "We sword cultivators would rather die than break our sword bones! But you are not a sword cultivator; you are merely a demon who uses the sword as a tool to achieve your goals. No wonder the Immortal-Slaying Sword Pill does not recognize you and can only use evil methods to forcibly imprison you. How laughable!"

These words stung Mu Zangfeng.

"What do you know! I am a born sword cultivator. If I am not a sword cultivator, then you certainly are!" His voice grew colder. "Who told you that sword cultivators must eliminate demons and protect the righteous path? Why confine yourself to the framework you've set for yourself? We cultivators are inherently defying the heavens. Isn't it normal to use any means necessary to achieve our goals? Besides, if there weren't demons like me, how could the nobility of fools like you be highlighted!"
