Supreme Emperor of Swords

The shock in Lei Tao’s heart gradually subsided.

His expression kept changing, but when he thought of the backer behind him, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision. He laughed coldly and said, “Haha, Gu Xin, how dare you show up here? The final hit order of the River Palace and the Hidden Fragrance Peak has not been withdrawn yet. The disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect are now wanted. I can just catch you and turn you in to receive the reward.”

“River Palace and Hidden Fragrance Peak? Both of them are already unable to even fend for themselves.” Gu Xin moved slightly and came to the void. He looked at Lei Tao and said, “I misjudged you at that time. You’re a horrible City Lord.”

“Cut the crap. Gu Xin, you are just an old piece of trash. Do you think I would be afraid of you? If it weren’t for the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect back then, you wouldn’t have the power to show off in front of me.” Lei Tao sneered. Back then, Gu Xin’s strength was inferior to his, so he was not afraid of him now.

“You still won’t repent.” Gu Xin raised his hand as an irresistible force descended. In an instant, Lei Tao, who had burst out with all his strength, got defeated as he spat out blood and fell from the sky.

This was not a common battle at all.

The strength of both sides was not at the same level.

Lei Tao’s smile froze on his face. He was already an expert at the Peak Martial King Realm, so he didn’t take Gu Xin seriously. He had never expected that Gu Xin’s strength would be so terrifying that it was many times stronger than before.

“Could it be that they have come back from the immortal land for real?”

Thinking of the legends about the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, Lei Tao suddenly felt that what he had done these days might be the most foolish decisions he had made in his life.

Bang!

He fell heavily on the execution ground, spitting out blood. Countless bones in his body were broken. Gu Xin’s power invaded his body and restricted his strength. Lei Tao almost died from this fall.

On the other side, other disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had taken off the shackles of more than a hundred prisoners.

……

A prisoner’s eyes flashed with mad hatred. He howled like a wild beast and crazily rushed to Lei Tao’s body. He opened his mouth and bit off a piece of flesh from Lei Tao.

“Ah…” Lei Tao screamed in pain.

However, there were more and more people rushing over and biting him crazily. The prisoners’ hatred for this person was like a flood that could no longer be suppressed. Their relatives had all died in the hands of this butcher, and they had also suffered all kinds of inhuman torture.

Everyone wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Lei Tao wailed miserably. In the blink of an eye, he had lost several pieces of flesh on his body. He howled miserably and said, “Haha, all of you shall die, all of you shall die… Just you wait, the darkness will come…”

Gu Xin sneered and said nothing.

…

In Old Liege City.

“Elder Li, you’re finally back!” The City Lord of Old Liege City, Guo Tianlin, was extremely excited.

These days, Guo Tianlin and his army were besieged by some roving bandits. They saw that the city was about to be destroyed, millions of civilians were going to be forced into slavery, and they would also die a horrible death. But they didn’t expect that at the most desperate time, the disappearing experts of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would suddenly show up in front of them.

Li Wu smiled and comforted him. “Thank you for your trouble, your honor. Leave the roving bandits outside the city to us.”

Like Gu Xin, he was also the former inspector of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. He was responsible for the inspection of the various cities in the protection area of the sect. After entering the Land of Divine Grace, his strength improved by leaps and bounds. He broke through the bottleneck and returned to his prime. This time, Wang Juefeng arranged him to bring a group of people to wipe out the chaotic forces of Old Liege City.

Outside the city.

Screams of horror could be heard incessantly.

Twenty swordsmen of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, dressed in white swordsman robes, came to the place like Gods of War. Wherever they passed, the chaotic roving bandits, who surrounded Old Liege City, collapsed one after another. At first, they wanted to resist, but soon they found that the enemy’s strength was beyond their imagination. After the leader of the bandits was killed, the other roving bandits turned around and fled, and they were all defeated disastrously.

Old Liege City’s City Lord, Guo Tianlin, stood on the top of the city wall and looked at the incredible scene below in shock. He rejoiced that he didn’t give up his faith in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in the face of all kinds of temptations. If he acted like other City Lords who slaughtered their own people and ganged up with the roving bandits, he would probably be killed by the sect’s masters of swordsmanship by now.

How powerful was the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect now?

Guo Tianlin didn’t dare to imagine the answer.

The ones who came to the city were definitely not the strongest of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. In the past, Li Wu was only an old man who had just reached the Primordial Realm, but now he was so powerful that Guo Tianlin couldn’t see through his power. Was the legend about the immortal land true?

How powerful would Ding Hao, Zhang Fan, and Xie Jieyu, who used to be martial arts legends of Snow Province, be now?

Guo Tianlin vaguely realized that the prime of the Human Clan in Snow Province was about to come.

…

In New Castle Tribe.

Light and fire soared into the sky, and screams could be heard incessantly.

As early as a few months ago, this inhabited city had been occupied by the roving bandits and became a bloody bandit’s cave. Countless fallen martial artists gathered here, burning things down, killing and robbing the civilians, and looting every treasure they saw. More than half of the millions of residents in the city had been killed or injured, and the rest of them were treated like slaves, facing the fate of being slaughtered at any time.

But an hour ago, dozens of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disciples descended from the sky, and everything began to change.

Those who were trembling with fear at home could quietly see what was going on through the cracks between the door and the window. To their surprise, they saw that those fallen martial artists who had committed all kinds of crimes, at this moment, were wailing and begging for mercy desperately. They shivered and were killed by the Sword Light falling from the sky like animals.

The shouting and wailing slowly stopped.

Gradually, some people dared to walk out of their houses.

“Dead. Those fiends are all dead.” Someone shouted excitedly.

The voice gradually echoed in New Castle City, and more and more people who had been hiding in their homes walked up to the street. They saw that those bloody fallen martial artists had all been slaughtered. Although the air was filled with the smell of blood, there was a kind of intoxicating scent in it.

“That is…”

People saw dozens of cool swordsmen who stopped in the void like War Gods in the sky. Soon, someone recognized that they were people from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

“The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect is finally back!”

Cheers instantly burst out and sounded through the entire New Castle City.

…

In Earth Gate City.

The same thing was going on in the city.

This place had become one of the Land of Divine Grace mercenary’s strongholds.

Fang Tianyi, Ren Xiaoyao, Dong Yi, Lyu Kuang, and other core figures of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect led nearly a hundred Martial Emperor disciples and Vast Ocean physical cultivators to carry out the endless killing. For those fallen martial artists and roving bandits from the Land of Infinity, the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had spared them a bit, but they would show no mercy to the cruel mercenaries who came from the Land of Divine Grace and brought darkness and turmoil to the civilians here.

Earth Gate City’s mercenaries were from a branch of the Heavenly Blood Mercenary Troop. They were extremely ferocious. In terms of size and strength, the Heavenly Blood Mercenary Troop was above the Black-blood Dragon. It was a large mercenary group that could be ranked among the top ten in the Land of Divine Grace. Although it was only a small branch here, its strength was not weak. It took Fang Tianyi and others two hours to wipe out all the mercenaries of the Heavenly Blood in Earth Gate City.

On this day, the power of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect slew through the entire Snow Province.

All the human-inhabited cities in the Snow Province, such as the Four Squares City, the Sky Pearl City, the Fare Snow City, the Northern River City, the Morn Dawn City, the Blessed Star City, the Flowing East City, and the Ox Heart City, were all taken under the protection of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. The nearly 100 new and rising bloody forces in the Snow Province were all wiped out.

Only more than a dozen new forces didn’t kill any civilians out of kindness. Instead, they protected the people of a region, so they got recognized and supported by the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. They didn’t get killed in this big slaughter.

…

On the shore of Mirror Lake.

In Swordsmanship-seeking Villa.

This place used to be the station of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect on the shore of Mirror Lake. Later, since the sect left, the owners of this quiet villa had been replaced many times. Before sunrise today, it was still under the control of a force called the God’s Grace Sect. When dawn finally came, it returned to the control of its real owner.

Standing in front of the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa, Huang Rong was overwhelmed with emotions.

This was the place where she was born and grew up. It had witnessed all her personal growth. Back then, she had been carefree under the protection of her parents and experienced the fierce battle when the Demon Clan attacked the city. She had changed from an unruly little girl to a queen who was in charge of the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa and the shore of Mirror Lake.

And now, she had finally come back.

“Father, since you are in heaven, I’m sure you can see this. I didn’t disgrace you. We are back again.” Huang Rong showed a smile on her face. The villa in front of her was the meaning of her life.

The shore of Mirror Lake had been restored.

The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was in charge of everything here again.

Ding Hao and the other high-level leaders of the sect sat in the meeting hall and listened to the reports from all sides. Although the purge of the entire Snow Province had been completed, according to the news from various teams, the injuries and losses brought by the turmoil in the Snow Province were far beyond everyone’s previous expectations.

After this disaster, more than half of the human population in Snow Province had been reduced, and countless human settlements and cities had been destroyed.

“Damn these Divine Grace mercenaries,” Zhong Dajun said with hatred.

“Snow Province is a remote small province in the Northern Region. The situation is so terrible here. It can be seen how chaotic the whole Northern Region would be.” Li Yunqi had returned here. He said with some worry, “This is simply a catastrophe. Not only the Human Clan but also the Demon Clan has suffered terrible losses.”

Ding Hao nodded and said with a serious face, “This is just the beginning. The mercenaries are just a bunch of cannon fodder. When our homeland gets chaotic enough, those giants of the Land of Divine Grace will come for real.”

These words made everyone’s hearts sink even more.

The disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had been to the Land of Divine Grace before. They knew that the overall strength of the martial artists there was much stronger than that of the Land of Infinity. That world had strong and rich Spiritual Qi, as well as clear laws of power. The primordial cultivating conditions that the martial artists had there were much better. In fact, the ordinary poor people in the Land of Divine Grace also had excellent combat capability.

Therefore, the real giants of the Land of Divine Grace had the power and foundation that even the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region, the Super Divine Hall in the Central Continent, and the other five top forces in the Land of Infinity couldn’t compare with.

“They are all humans. Why do they want to kill people on the Land of Infinity so utterly?” Tian Yin said indignantly, “If things go on like this, do we, the Human Clan have to join forces with the Demon Clan to fight against the ones from the Divine Grace?”

When Fang Tianyi finally came back, Tian Yin’s greatest wish was realized. This beautiful girl had regained her former brilliance. Her talent had never been weak in the first place. With Fang Tianyi’s relationship, she could be regarded as one of the core members of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

Hearing what she said, Ding Hao’s eyes lit up.

“Yeah. Why don’t we give it a shot to join forces with the Demon Clan?”

Ding Hao had only lived in the Land of Infinity for less than eight years. His hatred for the Demon Clan was not as great as that of many native humans. In addition, he had a relationship with Xie Jieyu. Therefore, it was acceptable for him to join hands with the Demon Clan to fight against the Land of Divine Grace.

“If we are to join forces with the Demon Clan…”

“I need to go to the Immortal Phoenix Palace.” Ding Hao made up his mind to pay his respects to the extremely mysterious Great Phoenix Saint. In fact, he had long wanted to see the True Phoenix that had been released from the underground ice layer by him and Evil Moon by accident. Now was a good opportunity to meet him.

After a round of discussion, the core members made a decision.

Fang Tianyi and most of the experts would guard the shore of the Mirror Lake and the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain. Zhang Fan and Li Yiruo would lead their men to the Blue Cloud Sect, the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect, and other sects to contact the super forces in the Northern Region. It was obviously not enough to control the situation in the Northern Region in a short time with only the help of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

“I wonder if Song Que, Bai Quanshui, and the others have returned to the Land of Infinity.”
