However, just as the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, a loud explosion suddenly rang out outside the palace gates.

"Ten breaths' time. Anyone who remains here will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as the many cultivators arrived outside, Li Dao's icy voice rang out.

Upon seeing Li Dao, whose face was filled with murderous intent, the leaders of the forces who had been chatting and laughing with Xiao Tu earlier immediately took their leave.

Xiao Tu's face darkened as he saw Li Dao in mid-air, his killing intent freezing the void around him.

"Venerable One! I never imagined that Xiao Tu had already broken through to the Venerable Realm!"

"This is terrible! I should have waited a little longer!"

The leaders of various forces felt the overwhelming power emanating from Xiao Tu, and their expressions changed. They were surprised, doubtful, and shocked, but more than anything, they felt regret.

"Who are you!" Dark clouds rose behind Xiao Tu, within which countless souls wailed.

"Killing people to cultivate supernatural powers, how shameless!" Li Dao saw countless infant figures amidst the wailing of thousands of souls behind Xiao Tu, and his eyes surged with murderous intent.

"Heh, a newborn infant's body is close to the Dao, so what's so surprising about using it to refine supernatural powers?" Xiao Tu sneered, no longer caring who Li Dao was. With a wave of his hand, ten thousand souls transformed into a sword and rushed straight towards Li Dao.

The black sword, formed from the vengeful spirit, surged towards Li Dao like a tidal wave. The wailing emanating from the sword was like the mournful cries of a vengeful ghost in one's ear, disturbing one's mind.

"Those who follow crooked paths deserve to die!"

Li Dao took a step forward, and a sword grass grew behind him. Each leaf seemed to carry a great path, and with a slight tremor, the heavens and earth shook.

"What kind of supernatural power is this! Such terrifying pressure!"

"It feels like my soul is being cut apart!"

"Who is that person? When did such a young venerable one appear in our land?"

Everyone was astonished. The supernatural power that Li Dao displayed made them look on in awe and filled them with fear.

Chapter 241 Heart Sword - Chaotic Sword Style

Li Dao raised his hand and gently slashed forward. A leaf of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass behind him swayed gently, and then a sword beam shot out horizontally.

Wherever his fingertips touched, space shattered inch by inch, and countless sword intents surged forth, determined to open up a sword realm. The overwhelming sword intents rushed forward like a surging river.

With unparalleled destructive power, the sword realm instantly obliterated Xiao Tu's attack. The black cloud behind Xiao Tu collided with the sword realm under Li Dao's command, and the screams of the wronged souls within the black cloud were incessant.

The void trembled continuously, and the rocks beneath them cracked, as if the end of the world had arrived, a truly terrifying sight.

In the blink of an eye, the vengeful spirits in the black clouds behind Xiao Tu were almost completely wiped out.

The screams gradually faded away, and the onlookers all breathed a sigh of relief; the feeling of their souls being torn apart was finally gone.

However, the next moment, all the cultivators around him looked at Li Dao with horror, and seeing that the sword realm under his command was still expanding, they retreated rapidly.

uh-huh--

Upon their first encounter, Xiao Tu's last trace of contempt vanished, replaced by a look of grave seriousness and a somber expression.

"Where did this guy come from? It's really unreasonable that someone with such strength wasn't captured during the Great Calamity!"

Such combat power and such a sense of oppression were something even his senior brother, the previous Heavenly Sword Elder, had never put so much pressure on him.

It should be noted that his senior brother was already a late-stage Venerable expert, but for Li Dao at his age, reaching the formation level was already quite remarkable among ordinary geniuses.

"Monster!" Xiao Tu could only utter those two words coldly, his heart filled with murderous intent.

Especially after Xiao Tu felt the terrifying killing intent locked on him, the killing intent in his heart was stronger than ever before.

"We can't let all these plans fall apart like this!"

His face was filled with murderous intent, and the divine power within his body exploded rapidly. The Venerable One's imposing aura overwhelmed the astonished crowd.

"Seven swords unite, the Heavenly Sword returns!"

Xiao Tu pointed a single finger to the sky, and the seven swords behind him trembled, with the golden ancient sword as the main force breaking through the clouds.

hum-

With a ripple in the void, a celestial sword pierced through layers of clouds in the sky, drawing upon the boundless sword intent within the Sword Valley.

Swish swish swish—

The sword intent was as vast as the sea, surging within Sword Valley and soaring into the sky, drawn by the heavenly sword.

"The swords resounded three thousand times, shaking the nine heavens."

"Within Sword Valley, even gods will have to take a hit from my sword."

"Today I will beat you, you arrogant brat, to a pulp, and I will use your death as a congratulatory gift for my ascension to the position of Heavenly Sword Sect Master!"

When Li Dao saw the ancient sword above his head, powerful enough to easily cleave a star in two, a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"The sword intent accumulated in Sword Valley is more than ten thousand years old. Since you can connect with and draw it in, and turn it into your own, that's quite a skill."

"However, to think that I would be completely destroyed based on this alone is simply wishful thinking!"

Li Dao raised his hand and drew a cross in the void. Immediately afterward, the void cracked open with a cross-shaped gap, and two sword beams powerful enough to cleave stars shot into the sky.

Boom boom—

Two muffled sounds severed the two sword rivers that connected the sword intent of Sword Valley.

"Hmph, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or a drop in the ocean!"

Xiao Tu's face turned deathly pale. He snorted coldly, raised his hand and pressed down, the huge ancient sword above his head slashing towards Li Dao.

However, his condition was not good either. His skin under his clothes was cracked like porcelain. Even with his current Venerable Realm, it was not easy for him to connect with the sword intent in Sword Valley.

Runes flowed around him, constantly healing the cracks.

If it weren't for the secret techniques protecting him, his body would have been burst long ago.

Seeing the giant sword pressing down on him from above, Li Dao remained expressionless and coldly said:

"You're getting impatient. It seems I've hit a nerve."

Having said that, the primordial spirit emerged from Li Dao's body, holding the sword, his eyes closed, the sword in his heart trembling slightly.

As soon as the primordial spirit appeared, the sky darkened, the sea of ​​clouds began to churn, and a golden light pierced through and scattered onto the golden figure, transforming into a halo of holy light behind him.

The little figure hovered behind Li Dao, its eyes reflecting the ever-flowing Milky Way.

"One hundred and eight thousand swords!"

Li Dao spoke softly, and the primordial spirit figure gently grasped the sword hilt, a crisp sound echoing between heaven and earth.

click-

Everyone heard the sound of a sword being drawn, and before they could react, they had no idea what had happened.

pat-

The sound of the Heart Sword being sheathed rang out again, and just as everyone was wondering, the void paused slightly.

Immediately following, thin white sword marks, like spider silk, covered the entire sky. In less than a breath, the Heart Sword unleashed 108,000 sword strikes.

A chaotic net of swords enveloped the sky, causing the void to tremble slightly.

"Heart Sword - Chaotic Sword Style"

Li Daoqing's primordial spirit figure had dimmed somewhat, and after unleashing a sword strike, it retreated back into his body.

In mid-air, Xiao Tu seemed to only then realize what was happening, but it was too late.

Boom boom boom—

The long rivers of sword intent were severed, and the Heavenly Sword, which was connected to the sword intent of Sword Valley, dissipated into the sky.

puff--

Then everyone saw that sword marks appeared on Xiao Tu's body, and blood was seeping out of the marks.

The next moment, it shattered into pieces of flesh and blood that fell down.

Everything happened too fast; no one saw how the 108,000 swords were unleashed. In the blink of an eye, all that could be seen was a pool of flesh and blood falling from mid-air.

Seeing Xiao Tu fall, Li Dao's eyes showed no emotion. If the other party hadn't been able to control the sword intent in Sword Valley, I would have ended the battle long ago.

Li Dao took a step and left the spot without pausing.

After Li Dao left, everyone saw the mess of blood and flesh, and they all looked at each other, firmly remembering Li Dao's appearance.

"I don't know where such a vicious person came from; it's truly terrifying."

Heart-Eating Cliff is where criminals of the Heavenly Sword are imprisoned. The sword energy is like the wind scraping away bones, capable of tearing off a layer of flesh, making it a living hell.

The two guards at Heart-Eating Cliff saw Li Dao's figure appear in the distance at some unknown time, slowly walking towards Heart-Eating Cliff. Their expressions immediately turned solemn, unaware of what had happened outside.

"Halt!" the two shouted, raising their swords and heading towards Li Dao.

When Li Dao saw the two guards of Devouring Heart Cliff, he simply waved his hand, and with a gentle ripple in the void, the two heads flew away.

puff-

The two corpses collapsed to the ground, and the commotion woke Liu Fang inside.

"Who is it?! Is that you?!"

boom--

Upon hearing this, Li Dao raised his hand and broke the binding formation, revealing Liu Fang's figure. However, Liu Fang was in a rather disheveled state.

Covered in blood, with blood-stained bones exposed, the air filled with the stench of rotting flesh.

"Let me out! You promised to make me the sect leader!"

"You lied to me! You lied to me!"

Seeing Liu Fang acting erratically and becoming somewhat delirious, Li Dao lost all interest in talking to him anymore.

As his fingertips swept across the void, a fierce sword intent capable of cleaving away the sun, moon, and stars burst forth.

puff-

It sliced ​​directly through Liu Fang's body, along with the Heart-Eating Cliff beneath him, and was cleaved into Sword Valley, instantly turning to ashes.

After finishing everything, Li Dao showed no sign of joy as he arrived at the spot where Pei Zihuai had fallen to the bottom of Sword Valley.

He tossed the two heads aside and sighed softly:
