Chapter 76

Chapter 76: In My Eyes, You’re Just an Ant!

Gui Yijian never imagined that the one chasing after him would be Xiao Yang.

Even though Xiao Yang was the Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect and a genius in swordsmanship, in Gui Yijian’s eyes, he was merely an ant at the Heavenly Martial Realm.

“Xiao Yang, you truly are walking the road to heaven but refuse to take it, yet you insist on barging into hell!”

Gui Yijian sneered at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang simply smirked, coldly observing this guy before him.

Gui Yijian was indeed in a woeful state.

His right arm was severed at the shoulder, the wound a gruesome mess of blood and flesh.

It was evident that his right arm had been violently torn off by the claws of the Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast.

Gui Yijian was covered in claw marks, some so deep they nearly showed bone.

“Looking that badly injured, I’m surprised you can still smile,” Xiao Yang remarked with a smirk.

“Ha! Why can’t I smile? That fruit, you secretly picked it, didn’t you?”

Gui Yijian grinned even wider.

“What fruit?”

Xiao Yang laughed.

“Hmph, at that time, it was just me and you three in that lava lake. You have the highest cultivation here, while the other two are just little kids at the Divine Ability Realm. Only you could sneakily take that fruit without anyone noticing.”

Gui Yijian said with a cold smile.

“You forgot one person; your useless nephew was there too!”

Xiao Yang crossed his arms, looking at Gui Yijian.

“Hmph, my useless nephew doesn’t have that ability,” Gui Yijian scoffed.

“So even if that fruit were in my hands, what’s it to you?”

Xiao Yang dropped the act.

“Kid, I truly admire your courage; a little Heavenly Martial Realm ant dares to be so cocky in front of me, a Divine Martial Realm powerhouse. Are you out of your mind or just plain stupid?”

Gui Yijian completely disregarded Xiao Yang.

Even injured, he believed he could easily crush Xiao Yang.

“You seem awfully sure of yourself!”

Xiao Yang chuckled lightly.

“To kill you, one sword is enough!”

As he spoke, Gui Yijian moved his mind, and a flying sword immediately appeared in front of him, pointing directly at Xiao Yang.

A frigid sword Qi filled the three-meter sword domain.

“This is the martial artists’ martial intent; for sword cultivators, it’s sword intent; for fist experts, it’s fist intent; for swordsmen, it’s knife intent; and for spearmen, it’s spear intent.”

In the area shrouded by martial intent, it was considered the martial domain.

For sword cultivators, their martial domain is referred to as the sword domain.

In this Yuanwu Continent, only the great martial powers of the Divine Martial Realm can cultivate martial intent.

“Kid, obediently hand over the True Phoenix Nirvana Fruit, and maybe I’ll spare you a complete corpse.”

Gui Yijian said smugly.

“Ha ha…”

Xiao Yang shook his head in resignation.

“You’re still laughing when death is right before you?”

Gui Yijian’s expression darkened. The next moment, he raised his left hand, and a flying sword immediately appeared in front of him, aimed at Xiao Yang.

A chilling sword Qi suffused the three-meter sword domain.

“I laugh because you’re foolish! Don’t you consider that I’m all alone, how could I dare chase after you?”

Xiao Yang grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.

“What?”

Gui Yijian was stunned.

Indeed, Xiao Yang was merely a sword cultivator at the Heavenly Martial Realm, knowing very well he couldn’t possibly be Gui Yijian’s opponent, yet why would he dare to pursue?

Did he want to find death?

Xiao Yang would never willingly seek his own demise.

After all, he was the Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect, possessed the True Sun Holy Body, and was a genius in sword arts with a limitless future!

He would never be the one to seek death!

Gui Yijian felt an ominous premonition creeping in.

“Today, I’ll let you experience what sword intent truly is!”

As Xiao Yang spoke, he formed a sword finger with his right hand, seemingly preparing to strike at Gui Yijian.

“Ha ha… Are you trying to crack me up? A little Heavenly Martial Realm ant, dares to speak of sword intent in front of me?”

Gui Yijian laughed, thinking Xiao Yang ridiculous.

“Go die!”

Gui Yijian stopped the banter, and in the next moment, the flying sword in front of him transformed into a golden sword light, piercing directly towards Xiao Yang.

In his sword domain, he was the ruler.

In Gui Yijian’s sword domain, Xiao Yang was merely a lamb awaiting slaughter.

The mere thought of soon gaining the True Phoenix Nirvana Fruit from Xiao Yang had Gui Yijian incredibly excited.

It was a legendary divine medicine.

Consuming the True Phoenix Nirvana Fruit would not only boost his power by a century but also repair his injuries like a phoenix undergoing nirvana, allowing him to transform and break through to the Sacred Martial Realm.

That was the Sacred Martial Realm!

There were only a handful of Sacred Martial Realm experts in the entire Northern Region.

Even among the Northern Region’s Ten Major Sects, only the Fuyiao Sword Sect, Supreme Dao Sect, and Guiyuan Martial Sect had a Martial Saint at the Sacred Martial Realm.

The other seven sects had no Martial Saints in the Sacred Martial Realm at all.

As the flying sword of Gui Yijian was inches from piercing Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang finally lifted his sword finger.

The next moment, Gui Yijian’s flying sword halted in mid-air.

Then, an unstoppable surge of sword intent erupted from Xiao Yang.

Gui Yijian’s sword domain collapsed instantly, and a larger, stronger sword domain enveloped Gui Yijian.

“No…”

Gui Yijian’s soul fled in fear; how could this be possible?

Xiao Yang was just a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator—how could he possibly cultivate sword intent, and how was his sword intent multiple times more powerful than Gui Yijian’s?

In an instant, Gui Yijian found himself bound by Xiao Yang’s sword domain.

At this moment, a smirk appeared on Xiao Yang’s face as he stepped toward Gui Yijian.

He pointed a finger at Gui Yijian’s flying sword.

Then, Gui Yijian’s flying sword shattered into nothingness in mid-air.

“Pfft!”

Gui Yijian spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Don’t kill me…”

Gui Yijian pleaded.

Xiao Yang continued his advance step by step toward Gui Yijian.

Gui Yijian was on the verge of insanity.

He was bound in Xiao Yang’s sword domain and couldn’t move, forced to watch as Xiao Yang approached him, raising his right hand with a sword finger aimed at Gui Yijian’s forehead.

Gui Yijian trembled in fear, his guts churning.

He watched helplessly as Xiao Yang’s sword finger slowly pointed toward his forehead.

Watching his impending death while powerless to resist drove Gui Yijian to the brink of terror; he was utterly shattered.

This was the most excruciating torment for Gui Yijian.

Having killed countless people throughout his life, when it was finally his turn to face death, he truly understood what despair felt like.

Xiao Yang intentionally took his time, wanting to torture Gui Yijian.

Killing someone as vile as Gui Yijian in a single stroke would only be a cheap victory for him.

Xiao Yang wanted Gui Yijian to taste the collapse and despair before death.

As Xiao Yang’s sword finger finally touched Gui Yijian’s forehead, Gui Yijian was so scared he wet himself.

“In my eyes, you’re just an ant!”

Xiao Yang said as he released sword Qi from his sword finger, penetrating Gui Yijian’s skull, causing him to fall back, lifeless.

Gui Yijian never dreamed he would die at the hands of an ant in his eyes.

Xiao Yang searched Gui Yijian’s body and found a Qiankun Bag.

He casually broke the seal on the bag and peered inside, where various radiant treasures dazzled his eyes.

Xiao Yang was overjoyed.

The space within the Qiankun Bag was about the size of a room, filled with a variety of cultivation resources.

“Bold thief, how dare you kill a mighty one from the Guiyuan Martial Sect?”

At that moment, a furious roar sounded from behind Xiao Yang.
