Chapter 78: Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect, Jiang Qitian Arrives

Inside the spiritual eye of the underground small vein.

As Ding Xuan from Guiyuan Martial Sect pretended to kneel and beg for mercy, he suddenly launched a sneak attack on Xiao Yang.

A blade of light burst forth from Ding Xuan, piercing directly into Xiao Yang’s chest and abdomen.

“You…”

Xiao Yang feigned shock, clutching his abdomen and staggering backward.

“Haha…”

With a successful strike, Ding Xuan laughed heartily as he got to his feet.

“Kid, you’re just too naive. Didn’t your master tell you how treacherous human hearts can be?”

Ding Xuan looked at Xiao Yang with a sinister grin.

With his Blood Transformation Divine Blade, even a powerhouse in the Divine Martial Realm would be doomed, their body turning into a puddle of blood.

“You… you people from Guiyuan Martial Sect are too despicable…”

Xiao Yang gritted his teeth.

“Haha… despicable? See, that’s your naivety. If it means survival, what does despicable matter?”

Ding Xuan sneered.

“Killing you will let me seize your treasures—how delightful!”

Ding Xuan was overflowing with confidence.

“You think you can kill me?”

Suddenly, Xiao Yang stood up straight, his voice cold.

“What?”

Ding Xuan looked at Xiao Yang in disbelief.

“You… you’re hit by my Blood Transformation Divine Blade; how is it possible…”

Ding Xuan’s face drained of color, his eyes locked onto Xiao Yang, his voice trembling.

His Blood Transformation Divine Blade was his ultimate weapon.

Countless opponents, stronger and more skilled than him, had fallen under its wrath.

This guy clearly got hit by his Blood Transformation Divine Blade; how could he be fine?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Xiao Yang’s lips curled into a smirk as he revealed a small red knife hidden in his hand that was clutched against his abdomen.

A flicker of sword light danced on his right hand, showing he wasn’t afraid of the small knife’s sharpness.

“……”

Ding Xuan’s face turned sheet white.

“Hero, spare me…”

Ding Xuan dropped to his knees in front of Xiao Yang.

With a casual flick, Xiao Yang sent the small knife flying, transforming it into a cold light that instantly pierced through Ding Xuan’s skull.

Ding Xuan didn’t even have time to let out a scream before collapsing to the ground.

He would have never dreamed he would die under his own Blood Transformation Divine Blade.

Xiao Yang beckoned, and the knife immediately flew back into his hand.

He proceeded to collect the guy’s Qiankun bag.

Soon, Ding Xuan’s corpse underwent a shocking change, transforming into a puddle of blood right before Xiao Yang’s eyes.

“What…?”

Xiao Yang stared at the small knife in his hand, noticing an ominous aura clinging to it.

The power contained in this knife could actually reduce a corpse to blood.

“This thing is definitely a killer’s tool!”

Xiao Yang put away the knife and Ding Xuan’s Qiankun bag, then surveyed his surroundings.

Here, the Water Spirit Energy was gathering—an excellent place for cultivation.

Especially where the Earth Veins Spiritual Eye was, there was a massive concentration of Earth Veins Spiritual Energy.

The density of spiritual energy here was definitely no worse than those great sects’ sacred places for cultivation.

Xiao Yang decided to use the Taiyin Dragon Pearl here to attempt breaking through to the Divine Martial Realm.

If he succeeded in breaking through to the Divine Martial Realm, he wouldn’t need the True Phoenix Nirvana Fruit.

Xiao Yang discovered that countless blue water spirit jade had condensed on the walls of this underground spiritual cave.

Around the pool where the spiritual eye was, a circle of Water Spirit Crystals was also formed.

The spiritual liquid in the pool shimmered with a faint blue light.

The entire massive underground spiritual cave was filled with flowing lights and swirling spiritual energy.

What a heavenly place!

This location was perfect for his little junior sister, as she, Jiang Ting, had a Water Martial Body, naturally resonating with Water Spirit Energy.

If it had been in his previous life, at the first discovery of this place, he would have brought his little junior sister here to help her cultivate.

In his past life, all he saw was his little junior sister, Jiang Ting.

But now, things were different.

The once brilliant moonlight from his past had turned into a pile of mud.

Such a sacred place for cultivation was meant for him to enjoy himself!

With that thought, Xiao Yang leaped down, wanting to jump into the pool and directly absorb the Water Spirit Energy that had condensed there for who knows how many years.

He had the Futian Sword Technique, and the energy refining method within could refine all kinds of spiritual energy for his own use.

No matter the type of spiritual energy, he could refine and absorb it.

However, just as his foot was about to touch the water’s surface, a blue light shot out like a lightning bolt, aiming directly for his heart.

“What…?”

Xiao Yang was genuinely shocked.

Who would have imagined that such a dangerous creature was lurking in the little pool?

At that moment, when the blue light struck Xiao Yang’s chest, a faint glow emerged from his body.

In the next instant, it felt as if something incredibly sharp had rammed into his chest, sending him flying several feet away.

At the same time, a huge creature erupted from the pool.

“This…?”

Xiao Yang hit the ground and looked up, shocked.

A gigantic scorpion was charging straight at him.

The water-blue scorpion blended perfectly with the color of the spiritual liquid in the pool; it was practically invisible!

Even Xiao Yang hadn’t noticed its existence!

“Water Spirit Giant Scorpion?”

Xiao Yang couldn’t believe that such a creature was lurking in the spiritual eye.

His mind racing, he commanded his flying sword to slash at the Water Spirit Giant Scorpion.

“Clang!”

The moment the flying sword struck the scorpion’s back, it produced a metallic sound, as the sword bounced off.

“What strong defense!”

At that moment, the Water Spirit Giant Scorpion leaped at him.

Xiao Yang dodged to avoid the scorpion’s pounce.

“Whoosh!”

As the scorpion missed, its tail whipped around, aiming its sharp stinger directly at Xiao Yang, slicing through the air with a deadly sound.

Right then, his flying sword returned, forming a shield in front of him.

The Water Spirit Giant Scorpion’s tail pierced straight through the sword shield, forcing Xiao Yang to retreat.

He was astonished.

This giant scorpion was quite powerful.

Xiao Yang activated the Futian Sword Technique and engaged in a fierce battle with the Water Spirit Giant Scorpion.

Its defense was truly impressive.

But Xiao Yang knew this creature’s weakness.

In his previous life, he had roamed the Northern Region for a thousand years—what kind of fierce beasts hadn’t he encountered?

Every strike of his flying sword against the giant scorpion was effortlessly blocked.

Just then, the Water Spirit Giant Scorpion lunged at Xiao Yang again.

With a determined grit, Xiao Yang charged toward the oncoming scorpion.

Its sharp claws were like spears, directly lunging at Xiao Yang.

Just when the scorpion’s claws were about to strike Xiao Yang, he suddenly dropped down and slid beneath the Water Spirit Giant Scorpion.

The scorpion charged forward for several yards before crashing loudly into the ground and sliding a few more feet, finally collapsing, motionless.

Soon, a puddle of translucent liquid began to seep out from beneath the Water Spirit Giant Scorpion.

It was clear that Xiao Yang had gutted the creature.

The scorpion’s abdomen was its weak point.

Xiao Yang stood up, letting out a sigh of relief.

Now he could begin cultivating, right?

With a splash, Xiao Yang jumped straight into the pool.

Meanwhile, outside the main Earth Veins.

Countless cultivators were fighting over various cultivation resources on the ground.

Moreover, more and more cultivators were breaking in from the outside.

Just as the scene was about to spiral out of control, a powerful figure descended, an overwhelming force radiating, shocking all the cultivators within the main Earth Veins.

“Stop it all, now!”

A thunderous shout echoed throughout the area.

“I am Chu Lingxiao of Guiyuan Martial Sect. Get lost or face merciless slaughter.”

A middle-aged man, handsome and sharp-eyed, surveyed the crowd, a terrifying killing intent emanating from him.

“It’s the Killing God of Guiyuan, Chu Lingxiao?”

Everyone in the Earth Veins gasped in alarm.

Countless people fled towards the exit in a frenzy.

Cultivation resources might be enticing, but if they lost their lives, what was the point of those resources?

That was Chu Lingxiao! He had single-handedly charged through the Northern Region, from the Evil Heavenly Sect to the Black Buddha Temple, exterminating both evil sects without mercy in a single day.

The Evil Heavenly Sect’s leader couldn’t withstand his sword; he split the thirty-three floors of the Evil Heavenly Tower in half in one swing. The host of Black Buddha Temple fell to his blade, and the entire temple was cleaved in two.

Because of this, Chu Lingxiao became a legend in the Northern Region, known as the Killing God of Guiyuan.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of such a killing god?

“Chu Lingxiao, you wish to monopolize this Earth Vein?”

At this moment, a stern voice resounded.

Chu Lingxiao turned around sharply.

“Jiang Qitian?”

His pupils contracted slightly upon recognizing the newcomer.

A man, sword in hand, approached, flanked by two terrifying old men.

The Sect Leader of Qingyang Sword Sect, Jiang Qitian, had arrived.
