After a while, Su Yuan arrived at the edge of a mountain valley.

Between the snow-capped mountains, more than a dozen blood puppets, shrouded in blood aura, lay sprawled on the ground.

Among them were three or four disciples from various factions who participated in the sword fighting, including Shen Qiaosheng, who had previously escaped from under Su Yuan’s hand!

Tong Ming, clad in a black and red robe, stood in the middle of the field. Behind him was the towering and ominous figure of Ksitigarbha.

Countless transparent blood vessels extended from Ksitigarbha’s body, entwining the fallen blood puppets.

These blood puppets gradually dissolved, with all their energy essence, including Blood Essence, being drawn into Ksitigarbha’s body through the blood vessels.

Tong Ming was holding a Star Stone to restore Star Power when he suddenly sensed something and opened his eyes, looking into the distance. “Oh? Someone else is coming?”

At the edge of the valley, Su Yuan, seeing the strands of blood-colored catalyst in front of him, knew he was already discovered, so he simply stepped directly into the valley.

His gaze quickly scanned the field but still did not find Zhong Xiu and Sikong Liu.

Could they have perished together?

Su Yuan pondered, then focused on Tong Ming and the towering Ksitigarbha behind him.

He unleashed the All-Knowing Vision, attempting to see through the energy flow within them.

But from this perspective, Ksitigarbha’s entire body was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Tong Ming laughed: “So, it is Qin Lianyun from the Demon Sky Palace? A rising talent of our Demon Sect indeed!”

He killed Feng Xuanqing and possessed the highly ranked Divine Wind and Divine Fire. Before entering the Secret Realm, he even defeated He Zhengyuan…

Tong Ming looked at Su Yuan, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but there was no fear.

Su Yuan said, “I heard that Fellow Daoist was fighting Sikong Liu of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, so I came to take a look. It appears you have won?”

Tong Ming laughed heartily: “Sikong Liu of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect is extraordinary. It was only by sheer luck that I, someone from a lesser sect, managed to win.”

“What a pity. I wanted to witness your splendid battle, but it seems I’m too late…”

“You’re not late.” Tong Ming’s face showed a hint of a smile. “You arrived just in time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ksitigarbha behind him trembled slightly, then crouched down and slowly opened its gigantic mouth.

In just a brief moment, two blood-aura-wreathed figures gradually appeared from within its mouth.

Aside from Zhong Xiu, there was also… Sikong Liu!

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Oh? So quickly you turned Sikong Liu into a blood puppet? Quite impressive.”

“Hahaha!”

Possessing two top-tier experts, Tong Ming couldn’t help but laugh recklessly.

“Friend Qin, we both belong to the Demon Sect, and I’ve removed this significant threat of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect for you. Why don’t you help me sweep the Secret Realm so we can jointly take everyone’s Moon Milk? This time, we’ll claim the first in sword fighting for the Blood Evil Sect, and the second for the Demon Sky Palace. What do you say?”

Considering this Qin Lianyun’s extraordinary strength, with the boundless power of Divine Wind and Divine Fire, Tong Ming figured it was better to recruit him than face substantial losses in a battle.

With Zhong Xiu and Sikong Liu under his command, and Qin Lianyun’s assistance, Tong Ming thought they could conquer the entire Secret Realm and claim victory.

Last time, Chen Mu from Five Directions Temple surprisingly took second place in sword fighting.

If he could take first this time, securing three Tiger Veins for the Blood Evil Sect, the honor would be unimaginable!

As for Qin Lianyun, taking second place and securing two Tiger Veins for the Demon Sky Palace would be a great outcome for the palace as well.

However, Su Yuan let out a light chuckle and shifted his question: “How much Moon Milk have you collected defeating so many sword-fighting disciples?”

Tong Ming was slightly taken aback. “What do you mean by that, Friend Qin?”

“Show me your Moon Milk; let’s see if it’s worth my effort.”

Tong Ming’s expression darkened. “Fellow Qin, are you refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?”

Su Yuan smiled. “First, in this sword fight, I only aim for the first place. Second, I always have others following me; I have no interest in serving anyone else.”

For the Legendary Star Card of the Demon Sky Palace, he must secure first place in sword fighting, and such an opponent must be eliminated early. Cooperation was out of the question.

Tong Ming’s face became increasingly grim; he then flipped his hand to produce the Moon Disk.

Inside the Moon Disk, milky-white liquid flowed, containing at least a dozen drops.

Tong Ming smirked. “I have fourteen drops of Moon Milk. If you want it, come and take it with your life!”

“Excellent, I’m very pleased.” Su Yuan nodded with a smile. “But ’with your life’? That’s a bit excessive.”

“This bastard…!” Tong Ming’s eyes turned cold. He waved his hand. “Attack!”

With the command, Zhong Xiu and Sikong Liu sprang out from behind him.

Seeing this, Su Yuan’s expression grew slightly serious.

Given the strength of Sikong Liu and Zhong Xiu, even if the Demon Soul had Divine Wind and Divine Fire, it couldn’t fight two. Not to mention Tong Ming himself.

Su Yuan’s eyes turned cold. He thought he needed to exert his full strength.

Once he showed his full power, Tong Ming must be killed on the spot, leaving him no chance to escape!

From a distance, Zhong Xiu had already formed a sword technique.

“Zheng!”

With a resonant sound, the longsword at his waist shot forth, transforming into thirty-six streams of sword light, all aiming at Su Yuan!

The core of the Ten Thousand Sword Lineage, simple and brutal, was to increase the number and strength of Dividing Light into Swords.

At Zhong Xiu’s level, one sword could become thirty-six, nearly matching the power of controlling a single sword!

Thus, just Zhong Xiu alone was equivalent to thirty-six synchronized sword cultivators controlling swords to kill.

Moreover, his sword light was extremely sharp, making it a massacre for ordinary people!

Black flames flickered in Su Yuan’s eyes. “Void Evil Manifesting Saints!”

Black flames surged up, transforming instantly into a pitch-black giant wielding a Black Flame Long Saber around Su Yuan.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

Numerous sword lights struck the black armor of the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, causing black flames to scatter and tiny chinks to appear continuously.

Tong Ming observed the thirty-six sword lights flashing ahead, thinking it wouldn’t be long before the black giant was shredded.

“This Outer Path’s aura is formidable, but it’s just a fish on a chopping board against sword techniques… How long can it hold… huh?”

The black flames flowing over the black giant’s body had already restored the chinks created by the sword lights!

What kind of recovery ability was this!

Tong Ming was startled, then coldly snorted. “Self-repair. No wonder they dared to use this move as a defense!”

At this moment, Sikong Liu had also reached the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, and the sword, gleaming with Spirit Light, slashed towards him!

Su Yuan swung the Black Sky Light to clash.

“Clang,” the blade and sword met, Sikong Liu surprisingly blocked the strike from the Void Evil Manifesting Saints!

On closer inspection, a flow of Spirit Light on Sikong Liu’s sword redirected all the force from the Black Sky Light.

The Spirit Light on the sword suddenly intensified.

“Reflection!”

Sikong Liu abruptly exerted force. With an astonishing surge of power, the Void Evil Manifesting Saints staggered back, exposing numerous vulnerabilities!

Sikong Liu’s eyes brightened. Sword Spirit Light flared, and his terrifying sword intent soared, uniting man and sword into a streak of light striking towards Su Yuan’s chest!

Wind whirled in Su Yuan’s eyes. The moment lengthened just as Sikong Liu was about to strike. Controlling the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, he stabilized and raised the Black Sky Light to block.

“Clang!”

Sikong Liu’s light streak, surging dozens of meters, couldn’t penetrate the Black Sky Light

Sikong Liu hesitated momentarily, seemingly not expecting the black giant to block his post-Reflection sword strike!

“The Power of Time?! This Divine Wind contains the Power of Time!”

As an observer, Tong Ming recognized it immediately, his pupils shrinking with visible dread.

Even though Tong Ming knew little about Divine Wind, he could tell this one was ranked within the top ten… or even top five!

“Extreme Sword Technique!”

Silver Light poured out from Sikong Liu, his speed soared, turning him into a blur.

Just now, he relied on Reflection to block the Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ strike. Without it, not even he could match the giant’s raw power.

Speed must win!

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Black flames erupted violently on the Void Evil Manifesting Saints.

Sikong Liu’s concentrated stabs caused severe damage compared to Zhong Xiu’s scattered sword lights!

Facing two experts’ aggression, the Void Evil Manifesting Saints seemed a large, live target!

Tong Ming sneered. “Let’s see how long you can last now.”

However, Tong Ming watched intensely and raised an eyebrow. Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Inside the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, Su Yuan’s face showed no panic.

“As expected, this tactic is insufficient.” Su Yuan nodded slightly.

Such moves were passive against agile, fierce sword cultivators.

But the Void Evil Manifesting Saints were the perfect counter for Zhong Xiu’s Dividing Light into Swords.

If only Zhong Xiu fought, the Void Evil Manifesting Saints could outlast or force him to switch moves.

However, with Sikong Liu, their combined assault exceeded limits, even surpassing the Undead Evil Fire’s repair speed.

“This new ability is worth a try…”

Su Yuan, at that thought, directed his energy within Star Sea. Normally, Divine Fire powered the Flame Sky Fire Control Technique.

At this moment, a golden thread shot from the Divine Wind Mark to the Divine Fire Mark.

Suddenly, apart from black flames, bright gold streaks appeared in the Flame Sky Fire Control Technique (Void Evil Manifesting Saints).

Outside, golden Divine Wind surged behind the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, sprouting two colossal golden wings, inscribed with countless mysterious patterns.

“Clang!”

The Void Evil Manifesting Saints moved faster, deflecting Sikong Liu’s strike with the Black Sky Light!

Sikong Liu’s eyes flashed with surprise, then he was shocked into the ground.

With Sikong Liu’s attacks halted, Zhong Xiu’s thirty-six sword lights couldn’t suppress the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, whose black fire armor quickly restored itself!

“What is this?”

Tong Ming fixated on the golden wings, their divine patterns shimmering mysteriously.

Could it be a special Star Artifact for the Outer Path, turning the previously clumsy black giant agile?

“Though Star Power consumption nearly doubled, this effect is outstanding!” Su Yuan smiled satisfactorily within the Void Evil Manifesting Saints.

Its immense power and durability were unrivaled, yet speed had always been its weak point.

Not exceedingly slow, but outmatched by agile opponents.

With Ruins Divine Wind’s power now added, in addition to the Black Sky Light, another epic Star Artifact emerged – the Ruins Divine Feather!
