The Sword Saint couldn't believe his eyes. Sword Twenty-Two was the pinnacle of swordsmanship, unbreakable by anyone. Let alone a mere brat. He simply couldn't believe it.

"Sword Twenty-Two!" the Sword Saint roared, and countless sword energies appeared in the sky. The Sword Saint poured all his true energy into it, wanting to prove that Sword Twenty-Two was the true pinnacle of swordsmanship.

Lin Yaoxie made no move, simply watching calmly as the Sword Saint continuously poured in his true energy. Having experienced this inner demon, Lin Yaoxie understood many things, and his temperament underwent a tremendous change. Now, Lin Yaoxie was still ethereal and otherworldly, but within this ethereal aura, there was a faint hint of evil. Coupled with Lin Yaoxie's handsome face, he was simply a deadly weapon against women.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Lin Yaoxie realized that the sword is not so simple. Powerful sword techniques, though dazzling and powerful, lead to the misconception that the stronger the technique, the higher the swordsmanship. A sword is a weapon for killing, existing solely for killing. Regardless of the strength of the technique, the goal is a single, fatal strike. To achieve a single, fatal strike, one must understand the sword, one must have a profound understanding of it.

Both Lin Yaoxie and the Sword Saint went astray in the past. Lin Yaoxie believed that the higher the level of a skill, the stronger it would be when used, while the Sword Saint believed that the stronger the sword moves, the higher the level of swordsmanship. In the short term, this seemed to be the case, but in the long run, it was like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree or quenching thirst by looking at plums, which was completely useless.

Now that Lin Yaoxie has overcome a mental demon and broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, his understanding of the sword has deepened. He knows that he went astray before. Regardless of the strength of a sword technique, what matters is the understanding of the sword. Even if you use the lowest level sword technique, if you internalize it and have a deeper understanding of the sword, you can defeat someone who uses a high-level sword technique but doesn't understand why.

Simply put, the stronger the sword technique, the more skillfully the sword is used. Once you reach the same level of understanding of the sword, you can create equally powerful sword techniques with ease.

Just like now, Sword Twenty-Two, which is flawless in the eyes of the Sword Saint, is full of flaws in the eyes of Lin Yaoxie, and can be broken by a single sword strike from the beginning of the year.

Because their understanding of swordsmanship is no longer on the same level.

Lin Yaoxie thought this way and did this way. He casually unleashed a sword aura that struck a flaw in Sword Twenty-Two. Instantly, all the sword auras in the sky disappeared, and Sword Saint coughed up a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground with a dazed look in his eyes.

He couldn't understand why his proudest sword technique had been so easily broken with a single strike. It was tantamount to a denial of his swordsmanship. He didn't even know if he had chosen the wrong path, if he was truly suited for the way of the sword. To be called a sword saint? Utterly ridiculous!

"Sword Saint, your moves are still not powerful enough. Do you think Sword Twenty-Two is the pinnacle of swordsmanship? Wrong! There is never a pinnacle in swordsmanship. I see that after Sword Twenty-Two, there is Sword Twenty-Three, which no one can even imagine. If you master Sword Twenty-Three, even I will not be able to stop you." Lin Yaoxie said solemnly.

"Sword Twenty-Three? Sword Twenty-Two is already the pinnacle of swordsmanship in this world. Could there really be a Sword Twenty-Three?" The Sword Saint was immediately shaken, after all, he had seen Lin Yaoxie break his proud Sword Twenty-Two with just one sword.

"Of course there will be. You just saw my sword technique. Using human power to change the power of heaven. What an incredibly powerful sword technique! You didn't expect this before, did you? How about it? Follow me, and I will teach you powerful sword techniques that you could never have imagined before. Perhaps you will be able to create that astonishing Sword Twenty-Three." Lin Yaoxie tempted.

"This..." The Sword Saint hesitated for a moment. He was the Sword Saint, how could he become someone else's subordinate? But in the end, he still gave in. After all, the powerful sword moves were too tempting for him. But there was a deeper reason: he wanted to defeat Nameless.

"Lord of the City, I pay my respects to you." The Sword Saint knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and said loudly.

"Good, my Peerless City is at a critical stage of construction. With your joining, it's like adding wings to a tiger. You go back to the City Lord's Mansion and wait for me. I still have some things to take care of," Lin Yaoxie said happily.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The Sword Saint then departed and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

The moment the Sword Saint left, the joy on Lin Yaoxie's face vanished without a trace. He sneered as he watched the Sword Saint's retreating figure, muttering to himself, "Sword Saint, Sword Saint, did you think I would let you go so easily? You are the second person to make me feel the pain of death. Killing you in one go would be too easy for you. I will send you to hell at the peak of my power. I will make you wish you were dead."

This is another insight Lin Yaoxie gained after becoming a demon. What is a demon? Does helping villains defeat heroes make one a demon? Wrong. Lin Yaoxie used to think that in every world he went to, subduing villains and then eliminating heroes made him a demon. But this was a misconception Lin Yaoxie held.

What is right? What is wrong? These are not defined by humans. Why must Lin Yaoxie be defined as a demon by humans?

A true demon is insidious, cunning, and powerful. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, instilling fear and pain in all who be. They act with impunity, lawless and unrestrained. What is yours is mine, what is mine is still mine, and you yourself are mine too. The whole world is mine.

In the eyes of the demon, there are only two kinds of people: those who can be used and those who are useless. Useless people are killed with a single blow, while useful people are killed after they have been used. Anyone who dares to provoke me will have their entire family slaughtered.

This is Lin Yaoxie's transformation, from a little devil to a true old devil, no longer killing at the drop of a hat; he has evolved. A little devil can instill fear for a time, but an old devil can instill fear for a lifetime.

Lin Yaoxie's change in thought led to a drastic change in his temperament, giving him an air of wickedness, but this also made him even more charming.

Lin Yaoxie has been in Wushuang City for three days. He hadn't had much time to look for beautiful women before, but now he certainly did. How could Lin Yaoxie let go of the beauties before him? Saving the world's beauties was also a demon's duty.

Chapter 201: Sensual Treatment [Third Update]

Inside a pharmacy in Wushuang City, a beautiful woman dressed in white, like a fairy from heaven, was looking tenderly at a five or six-year-old boy who was crying in tattered clothes.

"Little Bao, don't cry, it's okay, it's just a scrape, it won't hurt in a bit, be good." The fairy's gentle voice stopped the crying little boy from crying. He looked at the fairy with teary eyes, trying his best not to cry out loud.

Soon, the fairy finished bandaging Xiaobao, gave him a few instructions, and then let him leave.

After the fairy escorted Xiaobao out, she suddenly discovered that there was another person in the room.

The fairy was shocked. Who could have entered her room without her noticing? If this person had any designs on her, she would probably be a corpse by now.

The fairy hurriedly prepared for battle, her eyes fixed on the person who had suddenly appeared in her pharmacy.

The person before them was dressed in flowing white robes, his attire as pure as snow, his demeanor otherworldly, as if he were a celestial being. Yet, within that otherworldly aura lay a hint of wickedness, which transformed his originally unapproachable air into one of approachability. Coupled with his exceptionally handsome face, anyone who saw him would exclaim, "What a dashing young gentleman!"

This person was none other than Lin Yaoxie. As for the fairy, needless to say, there was only one woman in Wushuang City with such beauty, and that was Mingyue.

Upon seeing this, Mingyue blushed slightly, appearing exceptionally beautiful.

Although she felt a strong liking for Lin Yaoxie, Mingyue kept a straight face and said, "Who goes there? State your name."

Lin Yaoxie found it amusing to see Mingyue pretending to be indifferent when she clearly had feelings for him, and he suddenly felt like teasing her.

Lin Yaoxie, who had been smiling, suddenly changed his expression, turning pale. He then spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered to Mingyue's side, and collapsed into her arms. As he fell, he touched Mingyue's chest and then stopped moving.

In the instant Lin Yaoxie collapsed, only six words flashed through his mind: so big, so round, so soft. Mingyue, on the other hand, was terrified. What was going on? How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly collapse? As for Lin Yaoxie touching her breasts, although she was shy, she couldn't blame him, since he had already fainted.

Kind-hearted Mingyue, coupled with her fondness for Lin Yaoxie, felt embarrassed to send him away. So she picked him up and began checking for his injuries. Upon examination, Mingyue's face immediately flushed red, though this blush was largely due to Lin Yaoxie's ethereal aura and handsome appearance.

As for why Mingyue blushed, the most important reason was that she discovered Lin Yaoxie's injury was actually there—below his abdomen, on his groin. The injury was practically healed beyond repair. This meant she would have to take off Lin Yaoxie's pants and apply medicine to that area with her hands, a move that was a bit too much for her to handle.

But that place is extremely important to a man. If he is not treated in time, he will definitely become a eunuch. Isn't it a pity that such a handsome man becomes a eunuch?

Could Lin Yaoxie have really injured himself there? The answer is, of course, no. This wound was deliberately inflicted by Lin Yaoxie. With his constitution, he could recover instantly within minutes even without medicine. He just wanted to tease Mingyue. Yes, just tease her; he had no other intentions. Don't get the wrong idea!

Seeing Mingyue's dilemma, Lin Yaoxie knew it was time to make a move. His pale face suddenly spit out another mouthful of blood, which landed directly on Mingyue's chest, soaking her entire chest and revealing the small mounds and peaks inside.

When Mingyue saw Lin Yaoxie spit out another mouthful of blood, his face turning even paler, as if he was about to die, she was immediately alarmed. The situation was serious and he needed immediate treatment; otherwise, the man in front of her would definitely die.

Mingyue tried hard to convince herself that she was only saving people, just this once, and not to think of anything else.

With this in mind, Mingyue began preparing the medicine and getting ready to apply it.

Although Mingyue tried hard to convince herself that she was a doctor and the person in front of her was a patient, her face still turned bright red with embarrassment. After all, it was the first time she had ever taken off a man's pants and looked at his private parts.

Despite feeling a little shy, Mingyue still took off Lin Yaoxie's pants. To make the medicine more effective—yes, to make the medicine more effective, don't get the wrong idea—she also took off Lin Yaoxie's shirt.

Looking at Lin Yaoxie's incredibly strong physique and his eight-pack abs that looked like lumps of iron, Mingyue became even more infatuated, and she couldn't help but place her hand on Lin Yaoxie's body and begin to slowly caress him.

After a while, Mingyue suddenly woke up. What was wrong with her? How did she become infatuated? This wasn't like her usual self. Could it be that she had really fallen in love with him? Mingyue's face turned even redder. Seeing that she was about to succumb again, Mingyue slowly reminded herself in her heart that getting better was the priority. Getting better was the priority.

Actually, it's not Mingyue's fault. The main reason is that Lin Yaoxie is like poison to women; once they're hooked, they can't quit.

Chapter 202: I'll Use Wushuang City as My Dowry [Fourth Update]

Just as the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, an old woman with white hair and a cane pushed open the door and entered the room.

Mingyue shuddered immediately, but when she saw it was her grandmother, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandma, what brings you here?"

"Who is this person?" The old woman ignored Mingyue and instead looked at Lin Yaoxie, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, and said with a gloomy face.

"Grandma, I saw someone who had been beaten up on the road. I felt sorry for him, so I carried him back and applied medicine to him. But don't worry, Grandma, this is the last time. I promise I won't do it again." Mingyue looked uneasy.

"Next time? Humph. How many 'next times' have you said? Alright, alright, you can go out now, I want to eat." The old woman's face was gloomy, as if someone owed her money.

"What? Does Grandma's word not work?" The old woman saw that Mingyue looked unwilling and was dawdling, so she added another sentence.

Mingyue saw that her grandmother was even more unhappy. Although she was worried about Lin Yaoxie, she still pushed open the door and went out.

As soon as Mingyue left, the old woman sneered at Lin Yaoxie lying on the bed and said, "How could the dignified Demon Emperor, the new city lord of Wushuang City, appear in a small place like ours?"

"Hehe, a small place? This place is not small at all. How can you call it a small place when you are a member of the Ming family of Wushuang City and the owner of the Wushuang Yin Sword?" Lin Yaoxie stood up with a smile.

"How could you know? Did Dugu Yifang tell you?" The old woman's face immediately changed. This was the biggest secret of Wushuang City. How could someone who had only been in Wushuang City for less than three days know this secret? Apart from Dugu Yifang and his son, practically no one knew it.

"I don't need to tell you how I know, but I already know. Now that the Peerless Yang Sword is in my hands, what do you think I'm doing here?" Lin Yaoxie said, still smiling at the old woman.

"You're after the Alluring Love Sword Technique? But give up on that idea. As long as Peerless City exists, Alluring Love will not appear. The Alluring Love Sword Technique will not be born until Peerless City faces its greatest crisis." The old woman had a look on her face that said, "Give up."

Lin Tianyao ignored the old woman and continued speaking slowly, "What if I offer Wushuang City and the Wushuang Yang Sword as dowry?"

"What do you mean?" the old woman asked, her face full of surprise.

"It's just what I meant on the surface. I said if you hand over Mingyue to me, I will give you the position of city lord of Wushuang City and the Wushuang Yang Sword, making you the true master of Wushuang City. Are you willing for your Ming family to remain under the city lord for the rest of your lives? If you encounter that unreasonable and domineering city lord who destroys Wushuang City with his own hands, what use will it be even if you have the Wushuang Yin Sword?" Lin Yaoxie said slowly.

"This? No, no city lord would want Wushuang City to perish," the old woman hurriedly said, but her tone was no longer as confident as before, clearly she had wavered.

"You know in your heart whether there is such a city lord. Most importantly, don't you want to take Wushuang City and the Wushuang Yin-Yang artifact into your own hands?" Lin Yaoxie continued to tempt him.

"This... let me think about it." The old woman fell silent, pondering Lin Yaoxie's words. To be honest, she had already been moved. She had long wanted to avoid submitting to the city lord, but she had never had the opportunity. Now, however, the opportunity had arrived, but it was fraught with risk. She didn't know if Lin Yaoxie's words were credible.

If I believe her, what if she's just testing the waters and kills me once I agree? If I don't believe her, what if it's true? Then I'll really miss a golden opportunity.

"Don't worry, I can swear an oath to the heavens that if I lie, may my martial arts never improve." Lin Yaoxie added fuel to the fire.

"Alright. I promise you. But you must keep your word." The old woman no longer hesitated. A vow made in accordance with the will of Heaven is not something to be taken lightly; once broken, the punishment would be absolutely devastating.

Lin Yaoxie immediately made a vow to Heaven, and then handed the Peerless Yang Sword and the City Lord's Token to the old woman. The old woman was overjoyed and immediately called Mingyue in, saying to her earnestly, "Mingyue, this is Lin Yaoxie, City Lord Lin, the new City Lord of Peerless City."

"I have met Miss Mingyue. I just fought a great battle with the Sword Saint. Although I defeated him, I was seriously injured and fortunately rescued by Miss Mingyue. I am extremely grateful, but I have caused Miss Mingyue to suffer humiliation. I wish to marry Miss Mingyue. What do you say?"

Mingyue blushed instantly. Her initial fear that Lin Yaoxie would leave as soon as he woke up was now filled with sweetness. Handsome, well-educated, and strong, he was simply her ideal prince charming. She was extremely satisfied, but she dared not show it in front of her grandmother.

"Mingyue, since you've agreed, your grandmother will make the decision here and marry you off to Lord Lin. The wedding will be held soon." The old woman saw Mingyue's shy expression and knew exactly what she was thinking.

"How annoying!" Mingyue was so embarrassed that she threw herself outside.

"Lord Lin, aren't you going to chase after them?" The old woman looked at Lin Yaoxie with a smile on her face.

"Yes, we should go after them, but there's one more thing to do before we do it," Lin Yaoxie said with a smile.

Not long after, Lin Yaoxie came out of the house, carrying only two swords and a city lord's token.

What a joke. Only the Demon King takes advantage of others; no one ever takes advantage of the Demon King. Because those who have done so all become ghosts. Even if Lin Yaoxie looks down on Wushuang City, it's not something anyone else can covet.

Lin Yaoxie placed the two swords and the token into his spatial storage and chased after Mingyue in the direction she had left.

When Lin Yaoxie caught up with Mingyue, he found that Mingyue was talking to a white-clothed man with a cheerful face, wearing a bamboo hat and with disheveled hair.

Lin Yaoxie's eyes narrowed immediately. Calculating the time, Nie Feng should have arrived by now. He didn't expect him to try to touch his woman as soon as he arrived. He was asking for death.

"Nie Feng, the third disciple of Xiong Ba, leader of the World Alliance, don't you dare harm my wife!" Lin Yaoxie roared, charging towards the two men.

Chapter 203: One Punch Kills Instantly [First Update]

As for how Mingyue and Nie Feng got together, we have to go back five minutes.

Mingyue ran out of the room because she was shy. Just thinking about Lin Yaoxie's handsome appearance and strong body made her blush.

As Mingyue walked along, thinking to herself and grinning foolishly, she accidentally bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry, I bumped into you. I'm really sorry," Mingyue quickly apologized.

"It's alright, you didn't mean to." The person who was bumped was Nie Feng, who quickly waved his hand and said he was fine.

"It's good that you're alright, then I'll be going." With Lin Yaoxie in her heart, Mingyue didn't want to say much to Nie Feng.

Mingyue didn't want to talk to Nie Feng, but Nie Feng wanted to talk to Mingyue more, so he hurriedly said, "Miss, I have just arrived in Wushuang City. May I ask you a few questions?"

"Okay, go ahead and say it." Since she had just bumped into Nie Feng, she couldn't very well refuse.
