Chat group: All my group members are in the villain camp

Gu Xingzi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and a stone table, along with a chessboard and chess pieces, appeared out of thin air.

"Then come on."

Ye Ming sat down, took a cup, and his eyes were bright.

He fought to a standstill with Gu Xingzi, and naturally he was quite wary of her chess skills.

But since it concerns the Demon-Slaying Sword, there is no room for carelessness.

Ye Ming pondered for a moment, then flicked his sleeve and placed a piece on the board, the black piece making a crisp sound as it struck the board.

Gu Xingzi smiled slightly and casually dropped a white item, which turned out to be in an extremely tricky position.

Ye Ming frowned slightly, secretly marveling: Truly brilliant!

However, he quickly analyzed the situation calmly, found a solution, and made another move.

For a time, they were evenly matched, and brilliant moves came one after another.

The onlookers were all amazed.

The situation was full of twists and turns, with both sides evenly matched and unable to gain the upper hand.

Finally, on the 315th move, the situation began to change subtly.

Ye Ming seized upon a lapse in Gu Xingzi's judgment and executed a series of brilliant moves, gradually shifting the situation in his favor.

Gu Xingzi's expression changed repeatedly as he tried to turn the tide, but ultimately his efforts were in vain.

With Ye Ming's cry of "I won!", the game came to an end.

Gu Xingzi sighed deeply, his face showing admiration, and said, "Benefactor Ye, your chess skills are truly divine. I humbly admit defeat. I have lost, so the Demon-Slaying Sword is yours."

After saying that, she took out a long sword. The blade was black and its cold light was chilling. It was the legendary demon-slaying sword, Burning Heaven!

As Ye Ming took the sword, he felt a chilling aura wash over him, and his heart skipped a beat.

He bowed to Gu Xingzi and said, "Thank you for the sword, young lady! I will certainly make good use of it and do my part to eliminate evil spirits in the world!"

Gu Xingzi nodded and said, "You'd better take care of yourself. From now on, our grudges are settled, and we'll never meet again."

After saying this, he flickered and disappeared in a wisp of green smoke.

Ye Ming bowed and took his leave, his heart filled with emotion.

Ye Ming was overjoyed to receive the Demon-Slaying Sword.

He rushed back to the town overnight and told Sun Qianqian about it.

Sun Qianqian was overjoyed upon hearing this and hugged Ye Ming tightly.

After a short rest in town, the two set off back to the world of cultivation.

During the journey, Ye Ming contacted his fellow Daoists and told them that he had obtained the Demon-Slaying Sword.

[Sun Qianqian (Investiture of the Gods World): Brother Ye, with this divine weapon, you're sure to achieve great things! Qian'er is truly happy for you!]

[Shi Yue (Perfect World): Congratulations, Brother Ye! The Heaven-Burning Demon-Slaying Sword has become famous throughout the world. Demons and monsters, cease your rampage!]

[Chu Yanran (Tomb Raider World): Congratulations! With this sword, that Balthazar will be a piece of cake!]

[Jiang Tong (Naruto World): A demon-slaying sword? That sounds incredibly powerful! Brother Ye Ming will be the nemesis of demons from now on!]

[Chen Keke (Demon Slayer World): With Senior Ye Ming possessing this divine artifact, the Demon Slayer clan is saved! On behalf of the entire clan, I thank you!]

Everyone chimed in with words of congratulations and gratitude.

Ye Ming was overjoyed and brimming with confidence.

He gripped the demon-slaying sword as if he possessed supreme divine power to vanquish demons.

Chapter 1588: The Battle to Slay Demons! (Please Subscribe to All Chapters)

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): Fellow Daoists, I have obtained this powerful weapon, which is truly what everyone has been hoping for. I will certainly live up to your expectations and act on behalf of Heaven! If any evil spirits cause trouble, how can I, Ye Ming, stand idly by!]

[Xu Bufan (Snow World): Brother Ye, your words are truly inspiring! However, in my humble opinion, while slaying demons and monsters is important, cultivating oneself and improving one's character are more fundamental. Brother Ye, please don't forget your original aspirations.]

[Zhang Dapao (Biohazard World): That's right! Ye Ming, don't forget our group's rule—keep a low profile, keep a low profile, always keep a low profile! Don't meddle in other people's business!]

[Yun Shanshan (Dou Qi World): I think we should be cautious. What if that Basaze guy coordinates with us from the inside and pulls a fast one? That would be terrible. Senior Brother Ye Ming should also be extra careful.]

[Sun Qianqian (Fengshen World): Don't worry, with me here, I won't let anything happen to Brother Ye.]

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): Haha, fellow cultivators are right. I will act cautiously and not recklessly. Everyone, please take care. If you encounter any difficulties, we'll face them together! In our group, we share both hardship and happiness!]

The group chatted for a while longer before parting ways, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Ye Ming put away the chat group, tied the Demon-Slaying Sword to his waist, and embarked on the journey home with Sun Qianqian.

Upon returning to the cultivation world, Ye Ming first told his master, Yuan Xin, about Bassazé.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xin exclaimed in admiration, "I am deeply gratified that my disciple has such an opportunity. This demon and this tribulation are all tests on your path to growth. I have high hopes for you!"

Ye Ming nodded repeatedly after listening, and then asked Yuan Xin for more information about Bassaz's background and how to break the protective charm.

He then returned to his cave and secluded himself to cultivate the sword techniques of the Demon-Slaying Sword.

The sword technique taught by Yuan Xin is extremely profound and requires the unity of mind and spirit to comprehend.

Ye Ming studied diligently day and night for several days, and finally grasped the essence of it.

Meanwhile, Bassazé inside the Qiankun Bag became increasingly agitated.

He let out a series of shrill howls from inside the bag, his demonic energy raging, the bag's surface bulging as if it were about to break through the seal at any moment.

Ye Ming sensed Bassazé's movement and frowned.

He knew that times had changed, and it was time to make a clean break.

He took out his Qiankun bag and went to a remote, uninhabited mountain forest.

The birds and beasts had all scattered, leaving only the howling wind.

Ye Ming sat cross-legged, placing the Qiankun Bag in front of him.

He concentrated for a moment, then slammed his hand on the bag and shouted, "Barthásze, fight me!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Qiankun bag suddenly exploded, and a burst of black energy shot out, transforming into a black shadow, which was none other than Bassaz's figure.

His eyes were bloodshot, his fangs were bared, and his body was surrounded by black mist, exuding a menacing aura.

"Ye Ming, I want you dead!"

With a sinister laugh, Bassazé transformed into a streak of black light and charged straight at Ye Ming.

Ye Ming snorted coldly, his figure flashed out like lightning, and the Demon-Slaying Sword was drawn, its sword light like a rainbow!

"Barthaze, prepare to die!"

Before the words were even finished, the two figures were already locked in combat in mid-air.

Black light flashed, and sword energy crisscrossed, creating a truly breathtaking scene!

Basazé possessed astonishing magical power and came on a fierce attack.

Ye Ming remained calm and, relying on the power of the Demon-Slaying Sword, fought the enemy to a standstill.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and the world lost its luster.

After three hundred rounds of fierce fighting, Ye Ming began to show signs of fatigue, while Bassaze grew stronger with each battle.

"Ye Ming, you are no match for me! I'll bury you in the Yellow Springs!"

With a roar, Bassazé's hands transformed into sharp claws, shrouded in black mist, as he lunged at Ye Ming's head.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Ye Ming desperately swung his sword to parry.

With a crisp "clang", Ye Ming felt his tiger's mouth go numb, and the demon-slaying sword in his hand was actually knocked away by Basazhe!

Ye Ming's expression changed drastically. Barthaze's claws were already upon him; at the critical moment...

"Senior brother, take this sword!"

With a delicate shout, a bright silver sword light streaked across the sky, flying straight towards Ye Ming.

Ye Ming was overjoyed and grabbed the flying sword. He saw that the hilt was engraved with "Qian'er".

The two characters refer to Sun Qianqian's sword!

It turned out that Sun Qianqian was thinking of her senior brother and had followed him all the way here, and happened to appear to help him at the critical moment.

Ye Ming was overjoyed and gave Sun Qianqian a grateful smile.

Sun Qianqian blushed and gently shook her head.

Ye Ming rallied his spirits, wielding two swords, his aura surging as he declared, "Barthaze, don't be so arrogant! Your death is nigh!"

After saying that, he blurred into a golden light and rushed towards Bassazé.

Sun Qianqian also threw several flying knives, blocking Basaze's retreat.

Seeing Ye Ming's aggressive approach, Barsazé didn't think twice and met him head-on with his claws.

The clanging and clashing of metal was deafening!

Another three hundred rounds passed, and Ye Ming gradually gained the upper hand.

Barsazé was panting heavily, his demonic aura greatly diminished, and he was barely holding on.

Ye Ming seized the opportunity and suddenly thrust out his sword, the blade striking Bassazé squarely in the chest!

With a "plop," blood splattered!

Barsaze let out a scream and stumbled backward.

Ye Ming pressed his advantage, unleashing another "Burning Heaven Technique" that sent flames blotting out the sky!

Amidst Bassar's screams, the amulet shattered, and his body turned to ashes.

Ye Ming let out a long sigh and sheathed his sword.

Sun Qianqian stepped forward, took Ye Ming's arm, and asked softly, "Brother Ye, are you alright?"

"It's alright. With my junior sister's help, how could I possibly be in trouble?" Ye Ming said with a smile.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a round of applause.

"What a wonderful Ye Ming, and what a wonderful Sun Qianqian! They are truly a match made in heaven!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw an old man in white robes emerge from the woods, his face beaming with smiles.

"Who is this senior?" Ye Ming asked warily.

"Hehe, my surname is Feng, given name Gong, and I am an elder of the demon race. Basaze has committed numerous evils and is truly a sinner of our demon race. Benefactor Ye, please eradicate evil completely, and I have come here to express my gratitude!"

Ye Ming was taken aback and said, "So you are a senior from the demon race. I am sorry for my disrespect."

"It's alright, it's alright." Feng Gong waved his hand.

"Benefactor Ye, do you know why the demon race was born, and where it will ultimately go?"

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "I really don't know."

Feng Gong sighed softly and began to recount his story:

"So-called demons are formed from the impure energy of heaven and earth. Although we are not human, we are also part of the creation of heaven and earth."

"But evildoers like Balthazar run rampant, blinding the eyes of the world and causing people to equate demons with evil."

"In fact, if one can understand one's own mind and nature, why can't I, a demon, transform into the righteous path?"

"Benefactor Ye, would you be willing to give this demon a chance to repent and start anew?"

Ye Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Senior's words make sense. If the demon race can repent and reform, how could I not follow? There are no demons in the world, only the human heart."

Feng Gong was overjoyed and bowed to Ye Ming, saying, "Benefactor Ye is so magnanimous, I am deeply grateful! If there is anything you need from the demon race in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!"

Ye Ming returned the greeting, saying, "You're too kind, senior. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
